WHERE THE AMERICAN
TAKES SUMNER VACATION

From many sections of the country come reports
that city people in fast increasing numbers are taking
to the farms for their summer vacations.
Chicago manufacturer is quoted saying that ne
weary of letting the young of his Office STAFF go
resort hotels where they grow tired instead
of rested where they fall into habits than they
kept home, and where they greatly deprived oil
vigor discipline and instead of being re-
stored to good form. He is tempting many of them
as he to avoid the frequented resorts and spend
their vacation time quietly in secluded places where the
escape from the rattle and dirt and confusion of the
city and find real for brain and nerves as well as
for the body
The vacation from being an incident of modern
city life has grown into important institution. The
two weeks off every summer becoming as solidy
established as the day off every week
1t is worthy of having wisdom put into it. Ones
best thought is good to in the planning OF
vacation.
There is the wise vacation and there is the foolish
one and much besides health and pleasure depends upon
the choice.
IT is a favorable sign of the times that the glitter
and glare of the summer is beginning to wear off
and that the resfu wholesome quiet of the FARMS with
simple food pure water and sweet air tempt steadily
increasing thousands out of the hot and noisy cities
There is finger beckoning in the hills and voice
calling to the free space out under the sky.
Happy are they whom good fortune allows vaca-
ton now in a invested with the best and most
compelling charms of the year
The prophecy of a splendid autumn is in the air
Ruddy wine is spling the tops OF the sumacs the
naples are getting ready to light their torches in the
embers the dying the birds have broken up
housekeeping and at frolic with their families in
the woods there is uncounted wealth of rufulness IN
the orchards and the fields.
Already the red and yellow and purple are creeping
into the edges of the roads and along the banks of the
creeks boldly rising up out of the green in great
spots of genans, sunfowers, godenrods, asters and
margods.
The gay, old-fashoned flowers riot in deserted gar
onds sa1vi and a
carnival of the glorious closing weeks of the summer
Morning, these rare days, comes like shout, like
the sound of a hunting horn in the hills and with
zest in the air and tngle in the veins.
The resort has been defined as place
where cheeruly put up three prices for dscomforf
that would not for minute tolerate at home.
But the good green the good glorious country, as
God made it. and by unmarried exacts little ant
freely besows treasures of body and brain and hear
not elsewhere to be found this side of heaven.

DIMES HAVE GROWN
REMARKABLY SCARCE

Maybe you have noticed the scarcity of dimes.
Statistfcians have discovered that, although more
dimes being turned out of the mnts than ever be-
fore, there fewer than before in circulation
It is said that there is now so great demand for
Dimes and such scarcity of them that the rolling
concerns which make business of putting up coins in
packages, saving them up with view to getting
premium them.
A famine in dimes would be serious affair. Even
now there only three dimes capita in circula-
tion.
The modest little coin performs many of most
vital functions
1t is with the dime that the fastidous person gets
his shine" and the hard luck his meal.
The dime buys with which man summons
the flush of happiness to his wfes cheeks and it buys
the drink with which drives hope from her heart and
peace from his home.
The dime is to the child what the dollar is to the
parenthe unit of his calculations and the goal of his
desires. sometimes if the boy would rather
have dime than quarter,
This brings us to the dime banks" which the
real cause, perhaps, of the famine
The penyin- the slot machines are held responsible
for the scarcity of pennies street and automatic
music picture machines accumulate the nickes; but
there is particular contrivance in general use that
gathers dimes into the boxes of corporations.
An official in Washington suggests that the country
prosperous that people keep dimes in their pockets
to hear them jingle. But other coins jingle quite as
we'll Besides the trouble is that the dimes are not in
the peoples pockets, but in mysterious hiding.
No doubt the dime banks" hold most of them And
if the scarcity of dimes is the of saving, we
can cheefuy grin and get along with the other coins
Since 1892, when the dime was established, to the
present there have been coined 52OOOO0OO dimes. But
the slight relation which the total coinage even the
amount outstanding bears the amount in circulation
shown in the fact that it is reported by the treasury
that there still outstanding about 100000 half cents
2S 900 900 2cent pieces and 20000000 nickel 3-cen
pieces. which no one ever sees

COMPARISON OF THE
LOCOMOTIVE WITH EUROPE

AS yet comparatively little has been done in the
Improvement of the locomotive in this country in the d-
ERECTION of superior economy and efficiency In Europe
the high price of coal has led in design and in
operation of locomotives which is unknown here The
French generation in advance of in locomotive
operation In France locomotive engineers devices
scuh double valve and variable exhaust nozzes
which do not intrust our engineers and fremen.
In England, the small number of locomotive failures on
the road is revelation to any who studies them
from standpoint In England the locomotive is given
fair chance by receiving fair treatment yet it proba-
bly, does not cost more in the end We certainly have
much to learn from the water while what we
may learn is not so much in practice in method, it is
none the less important. That which most need TO
learn from England is the value appreciation of the
locomotive ana locomotive This will be learned
and well earned-probably the near future-of this

those who now students ready be leaders OF
mechanical departments of railroads. the position OF
the department head will become enyabe one. There
is field OF mechanical work full of opportunity as
this and much depends upon those who fitting
themselves for the leadership Of These lead
may be in the ranks they may be in the colleges
but wherever they their preparation must be thor

STATEHOOD PROVISION

Opponents of Joint statehood telling The dear
people in many parts of the territory that those who
can not speak or understand the English language will
be absolutely dsfranchsed should joint statehood be
effected says the New Mexican. They will not be al
lowed vote they not become jurors they VIII Do
barred from holding Offices from district school direct
or precinct constable to governor and president
and every other way will become slaves, down-trod
den and despsed. This is silly stuff to be sure but is
nevertheless being by those who war on the
proposition who evidently of the belief that
everything matter how unfair and how untrue is far
politics The fact of the matter is that there is put
one provision in the statehood law applicable and this
simply says that person shall be eligible to hold
state office unless speaks and reads the English Ian
guage The provision in the law section 20, reads;
Fifth That said shall never enact any law re-
sricng abrdgng the right of suffrage on account OF
race color or previous condition of servtude and that
ability to read, write speak the English language
sufficiently well conduct the duties of the office with
out the aid an interpreter shall be necessary quail
ication for all state officers
How any sane truthful person can torture this pro-
vision to what the enemies of joint statehood are
asserting does be easily explained The fact
the provisions of the law simply apply to state Off
cials and connection with the legislative, coun-
ty city precinct district school Officials and none
whatever with jures jurors. The constitution which
framed will certainly take care and full and due
that this question No fear should need be
exercised that point.

ALWAYS UP TO TIME

President Roosevelt is always up time. His latest
utterance is follow:
WE heartily favor trades unions and we recognize
in them in the corporations when properly conduct
ed indispensable in the economic life of the
present day; but where either type of organization is
guilty of abuse do not propose to weaken the reme
dial powers of the government to deal with such abuse
We anxious to help alike by law and by executive
action so far in power lies, every honest man,
every right dealing labor union and, for that matter
every right dealing corporation But corollary to
this intend earlessly and resolutely to uphold the
strengthen it that put down wrong,
whether by rich poor, if done by the most
erful corporation the influential labor union,
Just much If done by the humbest and least infu
entail individual in the land The fact that heartily
recognize an organization kind of organization
useful will prevent taking action to control it
prevent its committing abuses when it uses in
wrong fashion the power which organization confers"

The Naval Bill.

The House committee on naval affairs
decided yesterday to report building
programme for new ships in the navy as
follows:
One batteship to cost, exclusive of ar
NOR and armament, Sc, 900, coo, the ship
to be of the largest type, the tonnage to
be determined by the Secretary of the
Navy three torpedo-boat destroyers, to
cost $3.50, 900 each, aud 81, 600, 900 to be
expended by the Secretary of the Navy
Jor submarine boats in his discretion.
The naval bill will carry total of
500, $50, 900. The current law aggre-
gates $lOS, 600, 900.
The committee placed an item of
500, 900 10 the bill for the repair of the
old ship Constitution. The idea is that
with this amCuct, while the snip cannot
be rebuilt, it can be placed in shape to
be anchored at some navy yard to be
designated, convenient for inspection by
the public, the same az is now the case
with Nelson's old flagship Victory, at
the Portsmouth, England, navy yard.
In reaching its decision regarding the
size of the proposed new battleship tn e
committee favored the recommendation
recently made by the Secretary OF the
Navy that the ship be of l9, 600 tons
displacement. This recommendation,
however, was not incorporated in the bill,
the matter being left with the Secretary.
At the suggestion of Representative
Cousins, of Iowa, private sbipbuilding
firms are TO be asked to submit plans foT
the new ships, to be used in connection
with the plans of naval constructors in
determining the features TO be incorpo'
rated in the structure. The idea OF the
committee is to have the largest ship
practicable constructed. The amount
appropriated is regarded as sufficient tc
cover the cost of a 20, O00-ton ship. The
| l6, O0O-ton ships, which at present are
the largest of the navy, cost, exclusive
of armor aud armament, $4, 400, 900.
The provision for eObHarines, pro-
posed by Representati"' Vreeland, o.
New York, is as follows:
''1he Secretary of the Navy is here
by authorized in his discretion to Goa
tract for or purchase submarine, sub
surface or submergible torpedo boats t
AN amount net exceeding 81, 600, 900
after such competitive tests as he shal
see fit to prescribe to determine tn
L
practical efficiency of the different boat

Virginia Woman's Treasure.

There are prospects of merry con-
test in the courts at Carlisle, Pa, over
the estate left by Minerva White, who
was probably one of the most unique
characters who has ever liyed.in south
etu PENNSYLVANIA. She died at the lit
tie tOllgale, just outside the beautiful
park and summer resort, at Mount Holly
Springs, on October %, last, amid sur
roundings Of squalor. She is said to
have come from a well-knOwn family in
Virginia. Disappointed in love af-
fair, she vent to Cumberland county
and obscured herself in a position as
tollgate keeper at Mount Holly. She
filled the position for S5 year', and
would not allow visitors in her house.
At her death she was rs years old. The
republican organization leader in Gum
berland county. Col. Charles H. Mullen,
and members of his family, performed
many acts of kindness for Minerva, as
she was known far and near, thinking
her penniless. At her death, when a
search was made, the Investigators found
stored in odd corners and nooks various
large sums of money. In one place, 1t
is said, nearly bushel OF silver and
nickel coins we're secreted. In the at
tic and in old chests, the searchers dis
covered faded silk and satin evening
gowns of great value, magnificent laces
and great rolls OF silks, hidden away with
great care. The value of things found
amounted to thousands OF dollars.
