Flower Cure for Flies.

The confectioner's shop was quite
free of flies, though all the cakes and
sweetmeats were uncovered. "That
mignonette." said he, '@is what keeps
the flies away. We have it in pots all
over the place. The odor is so un-
pleasant to flies that they won't come
near us. I got the idea from the
South. There the butchers and con-
fectioners always have mignonette
growing in their shops, and they can
expose their wares without any fear
of flies attacks.

Seeing in last weeks Advocate
where the Cranberry base ball club
defeated the Snydersburg club,we wish
to say that the game scheduled on As
cension day for Snydersburg was
scheduled with Cranberry and not
with the C. H. Club of Westminster,
which we met when we arrived at
Cranberry Never the less we admit
that we were defeated by the green
Berry's. We were greatly handicap
ped by not having with us our first
and second baseman. We wish to say
that any team can win by having their
umpire The umpiring of Mr.. Y. was
Of gilt-edge order had he done the UNI
piring himself, but he had about half
of the Cranberry players acting as as
sistants. Mr.. Y. is a Cranberry rooter
and faithful one, too, and he had to
render the decision IN their favor.
Now, boys, for a little fun and amuse-
ment, come to Snydersburg and let the
Spiders show you their skill in play
ing on home grounds. We would like
to have a game August s. So please
let us hear from you at an early date.
Bring the same team you had on AS
cension day and we will give you
plenty of amusement FOR game. Call

Read of JeRerson Davis.

Editor, The Advertiser:
 The despatches note that the Lincoln Centennial Committee. of New fork' have requested that all schools In the country shall read Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. on the centenary of his birth, February l2. 1909.
 This is not only proper and patriotic. 1t is very practical Our New York friends know that no Rome of result was ever built in a day They have ex- ample before them in the sluggish and perfunctory way in which Mrs. Corne- lia Branch Stones strong appeal to the schools of the South, for the Jefferson Davis centennial, was treated.
 To amend that, in part, Mrs. w. J. Be- han, president of the Confederate Me- morial Association, has written to all circles of that order, to present to the schools so far as possible, the neglect ed pictures of Mir Davis, on the ami versary of his death, December 6. 1908
 This is we'll and useful; but 6 pict- ure is often meaningless. or its Impress transitory, e. without accompanying S sound. Hence 1 suggest that every school in the South read some utter ance of Jefferson Davis. on that day, or the Monday succeeding as his debate with Sargent S. Prentiss, his Fanuiel Hall speech. or some chapter from his Rise and Fall" or from Mrs. Davis biography of her husband. All these are accessible in almost any library. Mobile, Ala, Nov. 20. 1908.

CHARACTER OF REVISION.

Upon It VIII Depend Complexion of
 Sixty-secOnd Congress.
 Chicago Tribune
 So far as one can see, there are two men who. more than any other two, will bear the chief responsibility for the character of the tariff, which the next Congress will give the country. Those tive are the President-elect and Joseph G. Cannon, who in all prot ability will be the next Speaker of the House. They ought to have common interest and have a common respon- sibility in meeting the demands of the party and the people who placed them in their positions.
 From the character of the bearings before the Ways and Means commit = tee, from a study of It's personnel with whom they both are well acquainted, they soon can determine which way the wind blows. If, the wind blows toward the sort of tariff which has been the ideal of the stand-patters, they should consult as to the meas ures to be taken to prevent @ taritI calamity
 Differences are best solved by ais, cussion, and we venture the oplhloh that the PresiIent-elect with ms en gazing cqndor will be able to cohLel with the leaders of the House to tne end that real revision shall be had If he cannot. we have visions or Democratic House in the Congres- sional election two years from now

srHE MYSTERY OF 1oos."

Mir. Bryan seems disposed to hold Tanmany to blame for the result in New York. He is also seeking to find out what did 1t" in all the States. He invites the aid of the readers of The commoner, and asks them to answer the following questions:
 "Did the Democratic Party make losses in your county and precinct? If so. to what influence were such losses
 .'what course shall reformers adopt for the future2
 "Can the Dem ooratic Party hope ever to gain control of the Federal Government"
 Answers to these questions must be brief and to the point, the writing must be plain, the tone must be re- spectful. and the language non-libel- ous and free from epithet. The name of the writers will be published ex- cspt where their use Is forbidden. and ''this symposium" we are told, will be continued from week to week cov- ering sufficient time and space in which to clear up The Mystery Of 1aos.'"
 The Charleston News and Courier in commenting on this proposition says:
 We think the duestions may be am sv5erad in this way for every county ana precinct in South Carolina: The Democratic vote held its own, not be- cause the voters thought that there was any chance of electing the Na- fionaI Democratic ticket, but because 1t is the habit of the white people in the state to vote the Democratic ticket. Nobody in this State really be- iieves that Mir, Bryan can ever be < elected President. but if he is nomi l.. mated again in 1912 the Democrats of this state will vote for him-tney for the "reformers" to do, of course, is to stop their fooling"; but that Is more than they could be expected to
 The solution of 'The Mystery of 1908" wifi probbaiy be reached by tho very clever device adopted by The Com Tnoner about the time the delegates tion of the National Democracy, and will resolve itself into a general con- currence of Democratic opinion as 10 the availability of Mir. Bryan for the Presidential nomination.
 While in investigating humor, MT :. Bryan might also seek to find out why the Democrats could elect Governors in 1908 in Montana. Indiana. Ohio and Minnesota, and yet lose the electoral votes of those Western States. It is also a good time to ask why the Demo- cratic candidate for Governor in Illi- nois. lacked only a few thousand votes of election while MT. Taft carried the State by 15o,OOo majority.

A MORNING THOUGHT
BY ,. MARVIN NICHOLS.

The greatest statesman this conti- nent ever produced said: "If I work in marble, in time 1t will crumble; if I work with brass 1t will corrode; but if work with the mind, work with that which will grow brighter through all eternity This was but an antici- patton of the English philosophers s statement: "On earth there is nothing great but man---in man there Is noth- ing great but mind"
 In this great land of ours the home is the granite rock of our civilization. The happy fireside Is the bulwark of all our freedom. He who would wreck is must be put out of commission; Treat him in the same way you would a dog with the rabies.
 1t is said in the general defense of men that if women could be. immune from the poisoned words of their own sex. the tattie of men could bring no tarnish to their fair names. I have noticed that her own have poured the vitrol on the head of Evelyn Thaw.
 The horse running behind Is not the loser every time. One of the high tests is racers ability to stay in. There are some who never know how to reserve power for the home stretch The man that learns it may be behind now, but bell pass under the wire a full length ahed.

Legislatures Not Legally Bound By
 Senatorial PrimarAes.
 Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 North Dakota. like oregon. promises question: What value shall be at tachei to political promise, In the State on the Pacific Coast, it will be remembered, a Republican legislature was elected in June, and pledged by to the United States Senate. In North Dakota a somewhat similar situation prevails. There the Republican lesis- lature is pledged not to re-elect Sena- tor Hansbroush. The Senator, how ever, backed by a decision of the state Supreme Court to the effect that the portion of the primary law which binds the legislature to elect the man indicated by the voters at the polls Is unconstitutional, is prepariIg to for what the people decided he should not have. Just what object was sought to be gained by carrying the matter to court Is not stated. but 1t seems @ fair presumption that the move was made tn order to free the leglslators-e from the necessity of carrying out their promises.
 It ia probable that were the case cision would be the same; that the Republicap legislature need not elect | the Democrat. The Federal Constltu. tion puts the matter of electing United States Senators into the hands of the the assemblies may voluntarily sur ] render their prerogaAve, but 1t ap- l pears sound reasoning to argue that l the law cannot compel the carrying | out of the terms stipulated in such | Surrender.
 Leaving out of the discussion the wisdom of such State attempts to l undermine the constitutional method | of electlng United States Senators, the | fact remains that men elected to legts- ! lative seats who have agreed to carry l out the provisions of primary laws are

The statement that Roosevelt has declared that if he had been nominat- ed in place of Taft he would have car ried Georgia and broken the solid South. strikes some people as being an unreasonable one. but why should 1t? It would be in line with his usual boasting and self-conceit. and he doubtless used the expression. We see no reason to suppose that he would have gotten as many votes in Georgia or in any other Southern State as Taft did but of course he cannot be made to believe that he is not the strong est statesman in all the land.

 The people of this country by mak l. ing Mir Roosevelt President conferred on him a certain dignity which in honor and decency he Is bound to re- spect and certain responsibility which he ought to feel. For him to use the prominence given him by the American people as a stock in trade and a means of making money for himself would be an offense little short of treason. Working on The Outlook. which is a dignifed clean and honor able publication notwithstanding its occasional fanaticismB and crankiness, is one thing; to hire his name and prestige to give power and influence to dlsreputable yellow sheets owned for disreputable purposes is a widely different thing one of the reasons we always had for dstrusting Mir 1 Bryan was his apparent readiness to hitch himself to any kind of propOsi- | ton or enterprise In which he might | use his reputation as a means of earn 1 ing dollars.
