Fling out the flag, upon the breeze
That made the Spaniard bend his knees
Among the tropic isles,
The flag for which our fathers died
The flag that Is the Eagles pride
Whose battleships still rule the tide
Where'er the sunlight smiles,

When fields Of blood they waded

Clean brightly, In the sun;
The flag that Peace, with her white

Bends down to kiss where'er it
Beneath whose folds all men are

THE FARM HELP PROBLEM.

The railroads are especially inter-
ested In the saving of the grain crop

dent upon that source for the freight
traffic which will constitute their
source of revenue from the grain grow

months. These railroads have been

and saving of the present crop.
go With the time for harvest less than
one month off. and the prospect for the
heaviest crop ever harvested in North
Dakota, it is time to give serious at
tention to the means by which the rich
yields of the farms can be gathered
without loss or damage.
The extensive railroad building
throughout the country and the unpar-
allied prosperity of the country in gen.
eral has made help decidedly scarce
article. There will be need of twice
as many men in the harvest fields of
this stale this year than ever before.
They cannot be procured in the usual
labor markets because these markets
are already far over drawn.
There seems but one way to secure
the much needed help and that is to
do an enormous amount of personal
advertising among friends in the older
states. II every farmer would inform
his eastern friends of the conditions
and the wages which are paid, together
with the exceeding low rate given by
the railroads to the people who want
to come to assist in saving a crop

was no expression of the desires of the
individual members of that party.
A number Of states have settled the
matter by adopting the primary cleo
ton system, in principle wedding out
process of the candidates until the is
sue is raised between the two strong
est political parties. This it was
claimed would be panecea for all po-
litical troubles.
In this state, when the operation of
the law was tested, it was found that
the people were overwhelmingly in
favor of the policy which the party had
followed for years, and that in the. con-
vention system the voice of the people
had always been expressed. The con-
vention at jamestown will he CON-
posed of delegates chosen by the voice
of the people at an election in which
every citizen was entitled to partici-
pate.
Its action therefore will be IA direct
expression of the will of the people and
should be a valuable lesson to the SEN
sationalists who have SO long conten-
ded that if once the political power
were placed With the voters there
would be political revolutions which
would make the rebellion of Absalom
pale in comparison.
The issue upon which the voters de-
cided was clear and explicit. 1t was
whether or not the policy of the party
in the past had been the voice of the
members. BY majority of two to one
they declared it had been. The ver-
dict will be recorded at jamestown.
and then those who have preached
this doctrine will have an opportunity
to determine the estimate which the
public places upon such insinuations
against the intelligence of the masses
of the party.

Unusual Carving ON House.

One OF the unfinished palaces on
Fifth avenue is adorned with an un-
usual bit of carving. The railing of
an upper balcony is formed of a design
made Ap Of the initial letter of the
family name. This is surmounted with
q coronet of nine points. Such heral-
die decoration on European houses is
common enough but is not known here,
The only appropriateness in this case
is to be found In the fact that this
particular family happens to include
a duchess. 1t is more probable, how
ever, that the owner knows nothing
about the design, which is an inspir-
alton of the architects.

1 FaIn Would Weave a Garland Grand.
RX pa fcfnlc Iloxaol,..<,-

l fain would weave garland grand
A brilliant wreath or bright bouuet
or flowers fair that deck the land,
And scent the air In summer gay;
But I'll resist the tempting thought,
And In their beauty let them shine:
For they were meant, as well they
ought,
For other eyes as we'll as mine
Far better let the flowers grow
To deck the land and scent the
breeze,
Than break their stems and lay them
low
Our selfish wishes. just to please;
For they were meant to blush and
smile,
For others as for you and me;
Then let the flowers bloom awhile,
That others may their beauty see.

Optimism.

Get all the good there is today,
Don't fret about tomorrow.
There's trouble round US all the time.
What need Is there to borrow?
The wise man gets what joy he can,
And leaves the fool his folly.
He Knows too much to waste his life
In gloom and melancholy.
Look on the bright side every time,
Don't waste your days repining.
When any cloud looks dark and dull,
Turn out the silver lining.
BE wise! Be cheerful. bright and glad.
Leave to the fool his folly,
And let your motto be: "Cheer upm
Your rule Of life: BE jolly"

A TRIBUTE TO PUSSY.
From u Woman Who Has Owned ia
Cats-Their Good Qualities.

INC pClSOu VIII lately ueuOuuCeu
the cat as menace to health and hap
piness has reused chorus OF defense
Tor poor pussy.
During the past thirty years." one
indignant woman writes to Good
Housekeeping, Il have owned 1856
cats l have not kept cattery nor
ever owned a pussy that, as far as
know, had trace OF aristocratic blood.
They were just common every day
cats.
'''fwenty-three years of this time
was spent on an orange grove in Flor
ida, where we had as many as Is cats
at time. Yet the birds made them
selves perfectly at home in our groves
and ON our porches-in spite OF the
cats.
On our porches alone more than
100 martins-by actual count--made
their homes one summer. Just be-
low them the family of cats were con-
stantly passing. l will not say that
in all those years no cat of ours ever
caught a bird, but do say that no cat
or mine ever caught anything like so
ulr,.s Il year, With which average the
critic discredits them.
One OF my best cats, Zoe, was noted
for her skill in catching a sort of mole
which was very injurious to the roots
OF orange trees. People would come
miles to beg for one Of ZQe's kittens
hoping to find the same ability in the
young creature.
She used to bring in to her babies
these moles, or a small rabbit; some
times mouse or little snake; some
times at m0nstrous grasshopper;
never saw her bring in bird.
One season we used an incubator
and raised 200 little chickens. One
cat, Polly, who had a strain of wild
cat blood in her, proved persistent
chicken thief and had to be shot;
had no trouble whatever with the other
dozen or SO.
You have read of the plume hunt
ers of Florida and how every year
they shoot thousands of mother birds,
leaving tens of thousands OF young
birds to die of slow starvation. An
old cattleman once told me that it was
heartbreaking to hear their agonizing
cries, growing each day fainter.
1T is for the decoration of our ten
der 60 women that this devils work is
done, and yet Mr.. Thornton would
have us believe that cats are great
sinners. So, evidently does Dr. Hodge,
whose quoted criticisms brand as I'M
fair.
He says most cats have mango
With all my 1856 never had one case
of mango j All have catarrh' and
most New England cats are continual
ly sneezing.' l lived in Boston several
years and never had sneezing New
England cat, nor one with catarrh, ex-
cept in epidemics of grip, when my
cat would sometimes show symptoms
like my own.
1T is true have taken many NANCY
and diseased cats to the animal res
cue league in Boston. but they were
unfortunate strays which l found in
the streets.
"'All cats are alive with feas,' says
DIR. Hodge. Neglected cats are, but
a good flea powder will keep these
pests in allegiance; and the dog as
flea producer and mango dissemination
will distance dozen cats any day.
The common household rat, which
gets into our food supplies SO constant
ly, carries as much or more contagion
than the cat"

UNDERGROUND RESTAURANTS
TO HAVE TUNNEL FIRE EXITS
Chicago Building Commissioner Plans
TO Safeguard the Patrons of
Cftyss GrOttOa.

CHICAGO. July 16.-Building Com
missioner Peter Bartzen's recent ex-
ploration OF the tunnels Of the Illinois
Tunnel Company is at last explained.
He Is planning to use the tunnels as
outlets for underground fire escapes
leading from basement restaurants.
The Commissioner finds that in case
Of a FIRE in one Of these basement eat
ing houses there is little chance OF
egress for the patrons or employees.
He considered the matter a long time
and finally he hit upon the tunnel idea.
AS nearly all OF the larger restaurants
receive their fuel and part Of their
supplies through the tunnels he cannot
sec why these tunnels cannot be used
as fire escape exits.
Underground fire escapes through
endorsements. forty TO one hundred
feet underground. ere innovations in
the world OF mechanics The Com
missioner says he viii confer with the
tunnel company officials Immediately
and later may ask the Council TO pass
an ordinance providing for the under
ground escapes IN all basement estab-
lishments where the tunnels can be
reached.

WALL STREET CRTTICIzES
PANAMA LOAN FLOTHTION
Fears That Certain Clique Of
Bankers Will Get Control

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.


NEW YORK, July 15.-Wall street
regards the fotation of the $4,000, 900
Panama Canal per cent loan to be
offered by the Government this week as
assured, but not all the national bank
ers OF Wall street are pleased with the
plans of Secretary Shaw in connection
with the bond issue.
At the very outset the national bank
ers took exception to that provision in
the Panama Canal bonds announcement
that permits the highest bidder to in
crease the amount of his bid. On the
surface this looks like we'll inten-
toned effort on the part of the Treas
ury to get the highest price possible
for the bonds. Yet critics of the Sec
retary now fear that he has played. un-
consciously. of course, into the hand
of banking clique which for long
time has controlled the Government
bond market. They point out that
members of the clique can put In scaled
bids, starting, at, say, 104 and running
down, and then let one or another of
these bidders exercise the privilege of
increasing the bids, thus again obtain
ing control of the Panama bonds at a
price that best suits them.
