 These are hard line,' said the tour. , ist, wearily, as he paused to look at the landscape. Here I've climbed to the top of this mountain and forgot to bring my glasses with me- "That's all right" said the guide "I'd just as soon drink from the bottle."-Mil- waukee Sentinel.
 A remarkable dinner was served recently by a Colorado farmer. The table was set for F, and the menu consisted of one 1-2 pound potato. one 15 pound cabbage, one 10 pound chicken, one 6 pound turnip, one pound onion, and three pies made from 1-2 pound apple.-Colorado Springs Gazette.
 Rockefeller's pastor in Cleveland was belittling the value of riches in his sermon on Sunday, 1t is said the oil magnate "once or twice nodded perceptibly as if he agreed with his pastors views" However, it isn't all ways safe to assume that nodding by the congregation during sermon is a sign of indorsement of the preach CTS sentiments.-Hartford Times.
 In the flood of information concern ing the bumper crops of the west we are inclined to overlook the trelnend- Ous crop of Connecticut tobacco now being harvested An idea of it's im- mensity is appreciable when it is known that every available man is being used in the tobacco fields and so high is the rate of wages paid that many men are leaving the mills and shops to get the higher pay.-New London Day.

 President Roosevelt shows his sus- ceptibility to public opinion. when in letter to the public printer he as sures him that his spelling reform will be "dropt" if condemned by that public opinion. We may now feel as- sured that in the course of the ap- proaching quiet months the executive department of the government will take up again the old methods of as- sembling letters. It will let the stub- born old world work out its reform in it's own way. where great political principles are not at stake. There leadership is legitimate and useful.-- New Haven Register. +.

"The operation of government

"The operation of a government printing office is but a small task to that of owning and operating all the railroads of the country, says an op- ponent of the government ownership of railroads. The same rules as to hours of labor, the same multiplying of the highly paid officers would gov ern. and the railroads would be oper- ated at a terrible loss to the govern ment, unless tariff schedules were greatly increased. Is there man anywhere who does not believe that the final cost of the Isthmus canal will be at least sixty per cent more than if constructed byLa private com pany? Would any company pay a secretary $10.O0O year when just as good talent could be had for one fourth of that amount? If small contract like that of printing. larger one like that of the Panama canal cannot be operated by the government except at a cost far exceeding what q private corporation would have to ex- pend, how is it possible to undertake such a gigantic contract as that of all the railroads in the country. without bankrupting the country, or charg- ing extortionate rates?"

FRIDAY, SEPT ., 1906.

There is rejoicing over the an nouncement that Mir Bryan proposes after all, to take an active part in this years campaign. Before MT Bryan landed. friends who were sup posed to speak authoritatively in his behalf, announced that he would make as few speeches as possible and did not intend to take the stump and help in the struggle to control the next house. Chairman Briggs now has as- surances that MT Bryan will speak in several states under the direction of the committee and will lend every possible effort to further the chances of a.democratic victory in November. No plans have been made yet for the Bryan speaking tour, if not even be- ing decided in which states he will speak. The committee will leave this matter very largely to Mir Bryan. though it will furnish him list of places where it believes his appear ance would do most good.
