John King, Of the Jackson County
Pilot, pays the following eloquent
tribute to one of Rock county's re-
spected pioneers: Hon. Jay LaDue,
the nestor of Southern Minnesota
Democracy, celebrated his eighty
first birthday at his home in Lu-
verne last week. Mr.. LaDue can
truthfully be called one of God g
noblemen; his magnificent man
hood has always made him appear
head and shoulders above his av-
erage brother men. During the
past number of years that the writ
or has been privileged to attend the
state and congressional gatherings
OF those interested in the welfare of
Democracy we have been struck
with the character of this grand old
man, his wonderful personality
towering above his fellow workers,
his wise words of council when a
clear head meant the success of his
party, has appealed to every man
on the convention floor. Now In
the sunset of his grand and useful
life, possessed OF strength and vigor
he still steers his boat with the
same hand that has made his life
worthy of pattern by the young
man who would live long and we'll.

Where Water Runs Deep.

There is no froth where the water
runs deep
There are no fish in the foam;
IT'S true, and tits true in the worlds
far ways
And the quiet coves of home. .
The gladness is not in the merry
tune,
There is no smile in the laugh;
The fullness of joy lies hid IN the
heart,
Nor speaks in it's own behalf.
You are merry and free with pass
erby,
You jest though your life be drear
In silence the hand of of a friend
you grasp,
You wed your love with a tear.
Full many favor you speed abroad
Your due to the world expressed
Your servant you send with a chart
tvs gift
Your babe you hold to your breast
The fatterer's tongue is fotsam and
froth,
The beautiful moon is cold;
You are lured by the dancers airy
whirl,
Her heart is scornful and cold.
There is little mind with the ready
speech,
And the bold are never brave;
Only a silent and unseen force
Your wavering steps will save.
Then be not deceived by the SEEM
ing, vain,
Get the truth of things as you
roam;
There is no froth where the water
runs deep
There are no fish in the foam.

"JUOlTH McNAIR"
A Popular Novel Written BY Miss
Laeta Marion Ramage, !
Former worthins.
ton Lady. ]

Judith McNair, by Laeta Marion
Ramage, is a beautiful story true to
life. Its literary form is good, and
the style pleasing from beginning
to end. It will interest the young
and old alike. The fact that Miss
Ramage is Worthington girl adds
interest to this, her first book.
Worthington friends will be glad to
know that the Evening Star Of
Washington, D. g., comments on
the book as follows: ""The record
OF a girls life, wildly presented,
set in the beginning amid. the crude
ness of western prairie town and
ranging to the Pekin of the Boxer
uprising in China-that is the con
tents of judith McNair." The au-
thor has written of conditions which
she has had opportunities to observe
herself. The sketch of a middle
western town, where the ambitious
Judith lived, with it's heterogeneous
population, native American and
immigrant Swede or German, the
hard and infexible yoke of labor,
to which all alike are reduced, the
unloveliness with which life is sad
dened, Miss Ramage has given with
authority. The sympathy and con-
creteness which mark her work
prove that she possesses the gift Of
story telling and promise much for
her future achievement. The Gull
mination of the narrative, when the
English missionaries and soldiers,
with the women who are dependent
upon them, and the plucky Amer
can school teacher do heroic deeds
in the besieged compound, is dra-
matte and spirited. It is there that
Judith finds the answer to the crav-
ing for greatness, which, before,
had been her only a reason for
dlscOntent.

Loved for the Enemies He Has
Made.

The luck of Theodore Roosevelt
has passed into a proverb. He ls
more fortunate in his enemies. than
in his friends, and that is the best
kind of luck. If man in high sta
ton be not loved for himself, he is
likely to be hated for the friends
who come between him and the
public, intercepting at the same
time the sunshine of his favor and
the fructifying stream of his public
patronage.
Roosevelt has not escaped this
small item If public disfavor. But
he has the blessed compensation of
Grover Cleveland that 'We love
him for the enemies he has made. "
The enemies do not seem to under
stand how he is uplifted and upheld
by their assaults. They continue
to batter away at him, gaining more
courage with every effort, until
they are in fair way to make him
president again in spite of HIMSELF
= The big enemies ct the president
know enough to keep their mouths
shut in public and grieve when
their private epigrams are repeated
in print or when their private let
ters are sod to a.patriotic. journal.
But they seem to think they can
set their snarling poodles of the
subsidized press upon tn president
and accomplish their object with
out mourning responsibility.
This is fatal error. The peo-
pie know pretty we'll who sustains
certain newspapers without visible
means of support. The clever ene-
mics of the president, like Mr.. Hill,
have sold their newspapers as bad
Investments. Mr.. Hill might give
his friend Morgan bit of advice
more valuable than stock market
tip.
Mr.. Morgan is understood to be
the financial support of Harper's
weekly and the North American
Review, as Mr.. Thomas Ryan is
understood to be the ''angel" of
the New York SIM. The joint edi-
tor of the.periodicals, called. Colonel
Harvey, goes about assailing the
president in unwriten and vocal
speech as responsible for all the
evils that af1ict the world of wealth
and power, and the Sun echoes him
IN wittier and purer English.
Just so the Morgan and Hill pa
pers assalled the president four
years ago for causing the rich mans
a mic by prosecuting the Northern
Securities Company. This is the
way to make Roosevelt loved now
and reelected later. The people
want nothing better than the man
hated by Morgan and Ryan and
