WHY THE POOR MAN WORKS.

One hears it said that the rich COM
pei the poor TO work. To this Gle
menceau has most wisely replied: The
rich do not compel the poor TO work.
Work, the search for food, is the
universal law OF nature. Imperative
ly laid on all. young and old, male
and female alike; and lasting the
whole life time.
All that the rich do is to show the
poor what TO work at; and this they
do. not because they are rich. for a
rich fool cannot do it, but because
they have the two-fold power of see
ing what is needed TO be done. and CO.
ordinating the powers of others to get
1t done. The poorest man in the
country, if he have these two powers,
will soon become rich.
1t is not capital that makes pow
er effective; it is inherent power; and
what we call capital is merely the
register of that power. the evidence
that the power has been exerted; but
the inherent power is the real thing.
Whatever form the state may have,
we are and always shall be depen-
dent on those who have the two-fold
power of seeing what is to be done,
and of co-ordinating workers to do it.,

CARLSBAD's NEW SPRING.

Another hot spring was recently
for years enjoyed. Workmen who
were engaged In clearing out the
channels of the Muhlbrunn suddenly
broke into a new spring OF hot min
eral water 22 feet below the surface
of the ground. The water gushed up
and, overflowing the promenade, ran
into the River Tepl
The appearance of the new spring
was not altogether welcome to the
citizens, because they fear that its
flow may diminish that Of the Sprudel
fountain, which is Carlsbad's most
valuable asset as health resort.
Every year the increasing number OF
visitors makes correspondingly larg-
er demands on the capacity of tho
springs. while the flow of the latter
seems to be decreasing, although
slightly.
On account Of these conditions. the
municipality engaged an expert to
overhaul the channels ana sources OF
springs, and II was during the prog
ress of this work that the new spring
was discovered. The whole country
around Carlsbad IS honeycombed
with springs and channels Of water, all
Of which are more or less closely con-
nected. Hence the fear lest the new
spring may injure a larger and more
valuable one.

As the contemporary points out, the
most accurate statistics obtainable
show that crime and the results of
crime entail upon the city Of New
York an annual expenditure sufficient
to build a new subway every year.
Last year, for example, the items of
expenditure fairly chargeable to this
cause alone reached a total of $685.

defray the cost Of the Fourth avenue

CREDIT TO ROOSEVELT.

The opening sentences of the repub-
lican platform give deserved credit
for the present prosperous condition
OF the country to President Roosevelt
and his fearless and progressive poll
cies. Next to a nomination this public
Acknowledgement Of his services, is
the greatest honor that could have
been conferred on the president by
his party.
The platform says of the president:
In this, the greatest era of Ameri-
can advancement, the republican
party has reached its highest service
under the leadership of President
Roosevelt.
In no other period since national
sovereignty was won under Washing
ton or preserved under Lincoln, has
such mighty progress been made by
the American nation.
The highest aspirations of the
people have found voice in the repub-
lican party. Conscience and courage
in public action have reached higher
standards and the right and wrong Of
private life have become the cardinal
principles Of its political faith.
Capital and labor have been brought
INTO closer relations; the abuse Of
wealth and all the evils of privilege
and favoritism have been put to scorn
By virtue Of justice and fair. play.
The great accomplishments Of Pres
1dent Roosevelt have been, first and
foremost, his brave and impartial en-
forcement of the laws; his prosecution
Of illegal trusts and monopolles; the
exposure and punishment Of evildoers
f. public service; more effective regu-
lation Of the rates and service Of the
great transportation lines; the COM
plete overthrow Of preferences; the
arbitration of labor disputes; the
amelloration Of the condition of the
workers Of the country; conservation
OF our national resources and a for
ward step in the improvement Of our
inland waterways.
We declare our unfaltering adher-
erce to the policies thus inaugurated
and pledge our party to their contlnu-
ance under a republican administra-
ton Of the government.

SHORT AND COSTLY ooREER.

Private advices from New Orleans
are to the effect that the Morning
World of that city. which recently
went into the hands of a receiver, had
suspended publication and that It's
subscription list and good will have
been taken over by the Item,
The paper was started In Decem-
ber. 1907, with J. NJ. Leverque as
president and general manager.
At meeting of the stockholders,
held on May 81. s. F. Heaslip. the re-
ceiver, stated that on February IS,
when the board Of directors held Its
first meeting, it was discovered that
the papers affairs were in bad shape.
A large proportion. of the stock had
not been paid for and bills for adver-
t.sing and subscriptions had not been
collected.
on the face OF the books and papers
II appeared that the Indebtedness OF
the company was only $500 and such
an amount for a company capitalized
at over S25O,OO0 was mere bagatelle.
He engaged the services of Mr.. stall
ings. an expert accountant and to-
Eether they went over the books and
found that instead of owing mere
,S17OO the company owed $4,000.
The total Indebtedness at present Is
about $4,000. The daily cost of run
ming the paper, Mr.. Haslip said, was
S911, and the income $500, leaving a
deficit OF s4OO The circulation of the
World was $4,000 copies. Unless slO,-
600 could be raised at once the paper
would have to suspend.
Evidently efforts to raise the
amount have been successful.

THE THINGS THAT COUNT.

Not what we have, but what we use;
Not what we see, but what We choose
These are the things that mar or bles:
The sum Of human happiness
The things near by, not things afar;
Not what We seem, but what we are
These are the things that make oil
break,
That give the heart its joy or ache.
Not what seems fair, but what Is
true;
Not what we dream, but good we do
These are things that shine like gems
Like stars in fortunes diadems.
Not as we take, but as we give;
Not as we pray. but as we live
These are the things that make fol
peace,
Both now and after Time shall cease

The benevolent old gentleman got

ignorance.

know something about the matter |
hope you will spread your knowledge

APPALLING COST OF CRIME.

It is quite easy for liberty to run
into license and for crime to grow
bold and increase in a free country.
Unless the law is rigidly enforced in a
free country. the result is sure to be
disorder and anarchy, because there
ir no master-no power to preserve
peace and order-save the law.
II IS not like It Is in countries where
the army is depended upon to enforce
the orders of an autocrat. The law
is all-important in free country.
OF course, without peace and order,
human government is costly failure.
The cost Of It is found not only in the
great opportunities for the advance
ment Of the race, which are lost, but
in the actual penalties and expendi-
tures in cash which are always incur
red. Crime is the most costly thing
in the world.
Police and Fire Dispatch Of Chica-
go says that there ARE at the present
time about 100000 criminals confined
in the state prisons Of the country, and
Il is estimated that from five to 10
times as many more are successful in
eluding the law"
OF course this refers to the cost Of
keeping the criminals only, not to the
cost of machinery for trying them OF

A TEST FOR DRY FARMING.

The past month Of dry windy
weather in the inland empire has been
severe test for the staying quail
ties of the soil in different parts of
the wheat belt.
This year will test 4 the virtues of
dry farming principles advocated by
many progressive farmers, to the full
est extent. There has been but little
rain in any part of the inland empire
section and the soil has been forced
to rely on the moisture 1t stored and
held over from winter.
Where the soil was cultivated well
and packed on the surface, according
to the dry farming methods, the soil
forces retained their strength and held
the moisture much better than where
but little packing or cultivation had
been done.
Farmers declare that the appear
ance Of the wheat on the different
soils. that which has been treated oc-
cording to the dry farming or dust
tlanketing process and that which has
not. tells the tale. An experienced
farmer can look across a field and
tell where the cultivation ended.
A. few dry years will bring more
cultivation. more dry farming meth
DDS. Cultivation and packing of the
soil surface pays well in increased
yields. Dry weather tells the tale.
