IT GROWS POETIC.

The esteemed Hartford Times fairly drops into poetic ecstacy while dis cussing that favorite New England fruit, the pumpkin. Somebody up in that region has been raising some mammoth specimens and The Times is enthused over the prospects and possi- bilIties. Anybody" 1t says, "who groves first-class pumpkins contributes to the sum total of human happiness. A large and shapely pumpkin Is a thing that delights the eye. It Is a picture, a poem. a vision. It is no wonder that the great poets of the world have found in the pumpkin a theme that stirs the soul and moves the pen. What work of James Whitcomb Riley is likely to 9udes than his classic poem entitled "When the Frost is on the Punkin?" The Pumpkin Is a topic which appeals to poets. historians. farmers and scientists-and, in fact, to all classes of people who are in the front ranks in the march of civilization.
 What boy brought up on a New England farm. is an alien and stranger to the joys of pumpkin pie? Some brands of pumpkin pie, are, indeed poor stun. They are not the work of master hand, and too little pumpkin and too much crust-and soggy crust at that-enter into their makeup. But farmers wife who is mistress of the art and who isn't nggardly of pump kin and shortening is a dish that lin- gers long in the memory of every nor anal youngster"
 Is not that calculated to make the mouth water and the eyes gleam with bright anticipation of the good things in prospect? While 1t is true that New England is not the only region where 4he pumpkin grows large and luscious. Rnd where It's golden gleam delights the eye and makes glad the heart. it is true that the land of the Puritans comes out strong as a pumpkin-pro- ducer, and your genuine Yankee would consider his winter table badly fur nished If pumpkin in some shape were not part of the bill of fare. While in some sections of the country it is cuI- tivated more as feed for stock than otherwise, up in New England it is looked on as about the most useful plant they can grow for human food. And all must admit that a properly con structed pumpkin pie is not at all bad to take. The Times is correct in it's eulogium.

Modern Finence .

In condemning that sort of modern finance tht consists in getting some thing for nothing. the late Bishop Pot ter said, according to The New York World:

 :" All right. How is 1t done|
 " I'll be president. You'll be the stockholder. The nickel wil be the capital and we'll invest 1t in tobacco
 The thing was agreed to and the president, taking the stockholders 5 cents, bought cigar forthwith. Then he led the way down to the woods. There he sat down on log. lit up and began to smoke skillfully.
 "The stockholder waited for his turn to come He waited very patiently. But the cigar diminished. One-third of it. two-thirds of 1t disappeared and still the president showed no signs of satlety.

Review of the Situation.
 The presi6ential campaign has ap- preached the stage which has made It more a battle of forecasts than anything else. Both sides are putting forth extravagant claims that close result will serve to dissipate. In the East. the doubtful States remain the same. They continue New York. New Jersey and Connecticut. All three will give their vote to the same candidate, cess in the electoral college. Both sides are making a careful canvass.

MILLS OF THE n1UsEs.

Still Grind Out as Good Grist as Ever
 Was Known in ''The old Days" Pittsburg Post.
 It Is mistake to believe that there is not just as good poetry turned out In the United States now as in those far-off days. Twenty years ago some publishinghouse. we do not recall the name. issued a volume entitled '"The Humber Poets" which was colIec- ton of verse from persons unknown. much of it culled from the newspa- pers. Rarely will be found crowded into one small volume such a merito- rious collection
 One can scarcely pick up a news- paper today without finding at least one poem that Is worthy of preserva- tion. It Is the peculiarity of the age that makes poetry so little appreci- ated. Sentiment exists the same today as 1t ever has and ever will. Love is the same, nature is the same, and there are many, instead of few. who are able to stir the emotions with their verse. They who weep because this Is. not an age of poetry are the ones who are constantly wishing for the good old days" that exist only in fancy. There are no days so good as these.

THE FIGHT IS MADE.

Democracy has made It's fight There remains now ony the, verdict to be registered at the polls on Tuesday.
 The splendid personal fight made by Mir. Bryan has compelled tribute and admiration even from his Republican country has ever known has any one man borne so much of the light, nor has any one man made his fight so ef- fectively. Against overwhelming odds this fight was begun when NIT. Bryan was nominated, but under his brilliant leadership, with a united party behind him. the campaign has assumed a new aspect, the claims of the Republicans have steadily diminished and the cam paign closes with the brightest pros- pect the Democratic Party has had since the campaign was inaugurated.
 Out of the magnificent fight that has been made there comes assurance to the Democrats that not only has MT Bryan his best chance for victory. but it is certainty that some of the States will be redeemed to Democracy, and that the Democratic representation in Congress will be largely increased.
 The Democratic Party under Mir. Bryan's leadership. has forced the Re- publicans to abandon their insolent at- titude and come to battlefield of his own choosing. But for the organiza- ton and discipline of the Republican Party in the pivotal States. there would be no doubt of Democracy's triumph. As the Democratic prospects have brightened, the panic of officeh olders," alluded to by Senator Hlll, has seized upon Republican Washington and Cab inet officers are scattered over the country pleading for votes for the Re- publican Party as earnestly as either Tn eodore Roosevelt or William H. Taft
 In Alabama, the Democrats have a duty notwithstanding, the fact that Alabama Is the most assuredly Demo- cratic State in the Union. That duty is to go to the polls and make the total vote the largest the State has ever known. Each Democrat if need be, should go to the polls. even though 1t requires a sacrifice. Moreover, there are three proposed constitutional amendments of vital jY11noPfapea fo tba progress and welfare. of Alabama. They should be approved at the polls. each and every one of them.
 Vote Tuesday-it is your duty.
