HINTS FOR
WINDOW DECORATION

Cold, blead weather has departed.
The lengthening days, the brilliant
sunshine and the glorious flowers all
bear testimony that the spring, the
loveliest time of all the year, is once
more with us. In towns where gardens
are seldom to be found, the filling of
window boxes and the embellishment of
balconies and VerandaS. ETC., offer
great scope 70 the floral decorator.
When properly carried out and cared
for these decorations add greatly to the
appearance of a house. The aspect of
the windows should be carefully con-
sidered. and one must bear in mind
that cold winds are more detrimental
to the plants than even the absence of
the sun. In small windows should be
planted dwarf flowers and trailing
creeper: nothing looks SO out of place
as d small window planted with stray
Cling flowers. Giant mignonette, back
ed with white marguerites looks and
Ihrives WELL the sweet perfume of the
former flowers pervading the room
when the windows are thrown open. In
a cool aspect yellow and white dahlias
are suitable: genistas give a brilliant
dash of color. but they are not always
so hardy and want constant attention.

THE NEGLECTFUL FATHER.

The business of being a father is
very responsible one that manv men
either neglect or ignore, so engrossed
do they become in the affairs of bust
ness or professional life The duty they
owe to their home. to their wife and
their children becomes eclipsed by that
which their business demands, and so
in time they think that the only domes-
tic care required from the husband is
that he shall support the household and
that when he has done this his response
bility is over This is an entirely err
roneous point of view.
On the contrary. the husbands duty
toward his family only begins with the
maintenance. The father is the founda-
ton stone upon which the domestic edi-
flee must rest, and if that structure is
shaky the structure is bound to be
shaky, too
Can a father be a proper head of
family or train his boys and girls in the
way they should go if he never takes
time 10 do it? Can he do his duty as
a father if he allows everything but
home to claim his attention and keep
him from home?
There are many men who never see
their children from weeks end TO weeks
end or longer periods. Such careless
parents get home at night late, when
the children are in bed. and leave again
in the morning, before the children are
up
The good father who places home and
its demands above every consideration,
and does all that is in his power to
make that little part of earth very
haven of paradise for the ones he loves
therein, is a different man indeed. He
is never a severe father, never harsh,
never cruel He accomplishes his mis-
sion by love and example.
He is at once guide. philosopher and
friend He enters into the feelings and
the spirit of his children; he remembers
that he was young once himself, so to
please the young ones at home he be-
comes a boy again. among his sons
and daughters, their equal and COM
panaon. no tyrant. no taskmaster, whose
frown is dreaded, but the dear play
mate whose smile is loved.

The State Fair.

In measuring the ice OF the re-
cent State fair, while the important
financial end of it was OF much consid-
GRAFTON, nevertheless the management
would feel that their task had been a
dismal failure If it. were financial gain
alone to look back upon. Never, per
,haps, before was seen q finer exhibition
of the capabilities of the soil and its
wonderful range in the variety OF its
products than that which vas gotten
together in this exposition. Beginning
with the display from the coast. made
by jackson county, which resembled
more a Southern California exhibit than
one from a cotton State, with its mar
velous collection of tropical fruits and
vegetables, and thence going northward,
there was on exhibition everything in.
the way of fruits, vegetables, timber,
live stock, poultry, corn and cotton in
endless varieties, hay of every crop
known, that al be grown anywhere.

A Decline in Value.

Don't be deluded with the idea that
the fall in stocks and bonds does not
lessen the value of permanent prop
critics which they represent. Every
great property must be kept in good
repair, or else lose value rapidly. The
decline in stocks and bonds reaches
back to the properties on this account.
It destroys the credit of those who
manage the properties, and thus re-
suits in d~ilapidation and u%nproduc-
tiveness. A serious panic in securities
denotes general depreciation. This
Point is illustrated by the fact that
there are in use in the United States
and Canada $4,000 locomotives, SIS, 1000
passenger coaches and 2,O00,0 900
freight cars To replace these as they
wear out costs the railroad companies
$23,420 a day, or $3.50, 900 a year. In
other great lines of Industrial enter
prise the expense of repair and reno
walton is proportionately large. When
stocks fall in price, therefore, it
means deterioration and lack of future
dividends, for stocks would not de-
cline in price if there were sound con-
ditions behind them.

Who Is RESPONSIBLE?

Those who deny Mr.. Roosevelt's re-
sponsibility for the present disastrous
reaction in business are either igno-
rant or i%nsincere. For when Roose-
welt applied to Hartman for cam.
paign funds and surrendered to the
trusts on the tariff question, he un
doubtedly invited disaster, while pre-
tending to be averse to it. His freak
ish and futile verbal attacks on promi-
nent financiers, and his hollow shrek
ings about the criminal rich" and
''malefactors of great wealth." while
serving that class to his utmost by
supporting their monopoly of the mar
kets of the country and granting them
Immunity" for their crimes, have
in the industrial, commercial and
financial institutions of the country,
but in the judicial and executive
branches of the government. If what
he says is true these "~maiefactors of
great wealth" should be in Jail. But
they are not in Jail. And this fact is
a reflection upon Mr.. Roosevelt's at
tOrney general and perhaps the fed
eral courts, whose judges have been
largely appointed by Mr.. Roosevelt
himself. 1t is a rotten condition Of
affairs which allows rich criminals, or
wealthy m%alefactors, to go on from
year to year plying their nefarious
trades. On the other hand, if the
presidents o~ft-repeated. wholesale
charges are not true, he is a very dam
gerous caluminator, and a wholly i'm.
proper person to be at the head of the
government. From whatever point OF
view the situation may be regarded,
Mr.. Roosevelt is, more than any man,
responsible for it. Much that he has
said is, no doubt, true; but nothing
that he has done has been effective in
stopping or Furnishing the evils of cor.
rupt corporations or the law-breaking
of malefactors of great wealth.

State Riuhts UpheId.

A very important railroad case was
decided by the supreme court of the
United States November 4. The point
in dispute was whether a law OF
Massachusetts requiring Interstate
electric railroads to transport school,
children for half fare violated the con.
stitution of the United States. The
Massachusetts courts had decided 10
did not; and the United State supreme
court affirmed that decision. The case
was that of the Interstate Consolidat.
ed Street Railway company, plaintiff IN
error, VS.. the commonwealth of Mas.
s%achusetts. The opinion of the court
was delivered by Justice Holmes, and
Justice Harlan read a concurring opin.
ion. There was no dissenting opinion.
This decision foreshadows the action
of the court in North Carolina and
Minnesota cases, in which the right
of a state to control fares and freight
rates is involved.

GOING BACK TO 1904
PRESIDENT RoosEvELr's ACTION
THEN AND NOW.
His Letter to Secretary CcrteIyou
Seems Like Attempt to Repeat
Hoax on the PeopIe-Some
Things Not Explained.

MI. Roosevelt's recent letter to Sec.
rotary Cortelyou, scongratulating the
latter on his wonderful adroitness In
bringing order out of the financial
chaos, which, by the way, he had only
aggravated, and also congratulating
the captains Of finance, Rockefeller
and Morgan, for their share in the
work, reminds one of the old hoax
perpetrated by Mr.. Roosevelt with
the aid of Philander Knox and other
gentlemen of that ilk. A little while
ago the president was railing at the
criminal rich and threatening Rookie
Teller with humiliation. But all this
is changed, and the tactics of 1904 re-
sumed. 1t is well, therefore, to re-
fresh our memories by reference to
the history of that period, lest we for
get, and misjudge the president.
THAT Mr.. Knox in his Philadelphia
speech" said the New York World in
1904, succeeded in framing an ex-
ceptionally able brief in behalf of his
distinguished client, the president,
must be admitted; but ven in his
gl~orification of Mr.. Roosevelt's anti
trust record much remains to be ex-
planned.
"Mr. Knox did not explain why
after 5S5 days of supposed investiga-
ton of corporations by Mr.. Roosevelt's
bureau of corporations there has not
been a single word of that publicity
In the interest of the public for which
Mr.. Roosevelt has been clamoring and
which congress enacted legislation to
obtain.
He did not explain why s476,000
of a $4,000 fund appropriated to en-
force the antitrust and interstate
commerce laws has been lying idle
for 5S5 days.
HE did not explain his OWL re-
moval from the cabinet to the United
States senate and the extraordinary
Encouragement of that cabinet for the
obvious purpose of ~placating corpora
tons.
He did not explain why Mr.. Cortel-
you, after learning from 'diligent in
v~estigation' the secrets of the great
corporations, was made chairman of
the Republican national committee,
to, collect campaign tolls from these
very same corporations.
He did not explain why the great
corporations and trust magnates who
were fighting Mr.. Roosevelt's nomina-
ton six months ago are now support
ing his candidacy.
"The record Of earlier activity in
the enforcement of the law was
planned, but no explanation was made
Of the record Of subsequent secrecy,
submission and surrender. Was this
task too great even for the acute mind
of Philander G.. Knox"

CONGRESS WILL DO NOTHING.
Same Old Standpatters and Patricia
viii Be in Control.

When congress meets on December
2 the sames old standpat Republican
leaders will be in the saddle as in the
last congress. Mr.. CannoA. will be re-
elected speaker, and will pack the
committees to suit his purpose. Sc
reno E. Payne, of New York, will
again be chairman of the ways ana
means committee, and as he Is some
what wabbly and has been accused by
the standpatters of imbecility, there
will be a majority Of his committee
OF most ardent protectionists to keep
him in the straight and narrow pain,
so that no bill for tariff revision can
be reported. Jim Tawney Will resume
his work as chairman of the appro-
priations committee, and those patri-
OTIS who worship "the old fag," II &C
companied with an appropriation. VIII
have to "see" Mr.. Tawney or "the-old
flag and IN appropriation" Will be
missing for their districts.
Presumably H. Burd Cassel will be
r~eappointed as chairman Of the com
mittee On accounts, for who is bet
ter fitted to prevent Republican graft
in auditing the accounts of members
and the contingent fund than the
member from the Ninth Pennsylvania
district, against whom an unpatri-
otto grand jury has returned three In
dictments for alleged participation in
the capital frauds in his state? Mr.
Fowler, of New Jersey, will again be
chairman of the banking and cur
rency committee, and try to force
through an asset currency bill to help
out the banks and the frenzied inan-
ciers, for such Republican patriots
may always be found on the side OF
the money power, even to the extent
of issuing a species Of "wild cat cur
rency." The Indians will again be
left to the tender mercy of Jim Sher-
man, chairman of the Republican con-
gressional committee, who is said to
be intent on fighting Roosevelt and Sc
curing for his committee a fair share
of the tainted money that flows into
the national Republican campaign cot
fers at every election. But why pro-
long the list? Thds are, of course, all
honorable men and -standpatters, and
may be more than ever expected to-
stand up for 'the old flag and an ap-
propriation". and exude patriotism at
every pore in view of the coming cleo
ton.

order to give satisfactory service. The
estimated cost per mile of the burnt

Money Tight, But Plentiful.

Tight money is annoying both the
jobber and the retailer in these pros
porous times. Yet there is nearly
three times as much money in circula-
ton now than there was in 1900. In
that year money circulating in the
United States amounted to $1,042, 49,
141; while September 1, 1907, it
amounted to $2,7S9, POI, $40. Why is it
that money is so tight, when it is so
plentiful? Is the fact due to Roose-
velt's "policies?" Are people afraid
to lend money nowadays? Is conf
derce destroyed? There a be no 9TH
er explanation.
