From there the family went to Paw
nee City, Neb., where the brothers
studied law and were admitted to the
bar. Charles later went to Oregon
and was elected to lot of Offices as
Republican.
Elmer went first to saltwater, Okla,
then to Pawnee. and finally settled
down at the practice of law in Okla
homa City. In 1903 the term of Sen
ator Joseph Simon, of Oregon, expired
and Charles Fulton came to the SEN
ate as his successor.
When congress passed the bill ad-
hitting Indian Territory and Okla
homa to statehood Elmer was
announced. as a candidate for the
house in the Oklahoma City district.
He was nominated by the Democrats
and was elected, defeating ex-Gov. T.
B. Ferguson in what was supposed to
be a Republican district. He was as
sisted in his campaign by William j.
Bryan. Pawnee City is Mr.. Bryan's
district, and he had known Elmer Full
ton there. Bryan made five speeches
for him in the campaign, in each
speech emphasizing the fact that Full
ton stood we'll with the people of the
Nebraska town.

able to segregate the social mounte-
banks from the real factors of society
but she must have an exhaustive &C.
quaintance with the maze of prece'
dents and formulas and distinctions
for which Washington society is noted.
A good social secretary has all of this
information at her tongues end and Is
able to steer her patrons social bark
past all the reefs and rocks that rem
der navigation so uncertain and dan
gerous for the tyro.
Fashionable Washington Is COM
ing nearer every day to the belief that
good social secretary Is as essen
TALLY a part of the household equip

centuated by the sorry spectacles pre-
scented by women of the ultra fashion
able set who come to Washington to
establish regulations for polite hospi-
tality, only to end in sad failure be-
cause they have no one to inform them
as to the real members of the smart
set, and the pretenders, or to point
out the numerous social distinctions
that are peculiar to Washington life,

counted an objectionable mistake.

THE season of social gayeties which
was ushered in by the opening of
congress again calls attention to an
eminently useful parsonage in the
realm of fashion-the social secretary.
Although the social secretary Is a
creature of modern development, and
a most interesting one at that, her
place in the fashionable universe Of
the national capital has become firmly
fixed and there are more positions at
good salaries than there are social Sec
retaries to fill them. The demand is
so great and the pay is often so al
Turing that a number of Washington
girls whose social status is near the
upper edge of the top crust, but who
are not as well favored financially as
some of their sisters in society, are
preparing to take up this as their life
work.
Some one has said that good social
secretaries are born, not made and
there is much truth in the observation.

BUILD UP LOCAL ENTERPRISES.
Individual Effort Factor in the Prog
ress of Cities and Towns.

A we'll known eastern fnancier, who
for some time was the president of a
large trust company, recently re-
signed, giving as his reason that a
man, according to his belief, can do
better working for himself, and that
no man can really earn salary equal
to what he can make in business for
himself. One of the conservative
financial papers in commenting upon
the move of the financier here referred
to says that in these days, when all
kinds of business are being converged
into stock companies, the number OF
trades in which man may engage in
business for himself have become so
few that for a great bulk of men, even
those having the mental equipment
which in other years would have been
sufficient to make them their own
masters, there is now no other opening
than that of service for some corpora
ton. For the bulk Of the people, out
side of those in agricultural pursuits,
it is service for the corporation or no
work at all. This truth is becoming
more evident day by day. Even the
farmers are feeling the grasp of cor
porate methods. 1t is true that mil
lions must have the products of his
lands and his hands, but the corpora
lions are the mediums he must work
through, and from him they exact
their fittings. 1t is to the interest OF
the farmer as we'll as the laborer in
every walk and sphere to prevent as
far as possible further encroachment
of organized capital, and this can be
done by as far as possible keeping the
dollars that you earn in circulation in
the community where earned and thus
prevent the further concentration OF
money and of business in the great
cities.

Need of Good Schools.

Intelligence is the distinguishing
mark between the savage and civil
lied man. Education is one Of the
greatest of Gods blessings, and ig-
norance a curse. In America there ex-
lists no valid reason why every man,
woman and child of normal brain
should not have an education. There
is no phase Of life where knowledge is
not necessary. In the most progress
sive communities Is where the superior
schools are found. Help along your
town and help along education in gen
eral. By affording your children a
chance for good education, you Of
fer them riches that cannot be meas
ured by dollars. Because education is
capital that cannot be destroyed; it is
ready cash in hand, assets that one
cannot be robbed Of only by an act Of
Providence.

Fools and Wise Men.

Some one said that fools, women
and children need be protected" The,
author of the phrase seemed to not
take into consideration that it is some
times hard to distinguish between the
fool and the wise man. He is wise
indeed who does not nibble at the
bats on the hooks held out to catch
him. How many people, time and time
again, find themselves caught on some
contract deal, find that some sleek
agent has sold them a lot of inferior
groceries for twice the amount that
they could buy the same quantity of
goods from a local dealer, and get a
far better quality? Be careful when
dealing with strangers. Remember
the biggest frauds present the most
plausible appearance. Don't sign any
kind of a contract or order without
the most careful investigation.

was issued granting Col. Davis leave
until February when he would be re-
tired by age.
Too fat, as fat as Taft, is the charge
that the Davis board has brought
against Col. w. L. Marshall, of New
York, in charge of the Ambrose chan
mel work. The preliminary examin'
ing board could find nothing the mat
ter with Col. Marshall, but Gen. Fred
Grant excused the big fellow from the
ride out of sympathy for the horse.
The last board to examine him could
find no disability except his corpu-
lency. His retirement has been held
in allegiance until Taft's return. The
secretary and the president will decide
how fat man can be and yet be serV-
iceable in constructing big channel.
Meanwhile Col Marshall is said to be
reducing his weight by the delicate
process of rolling on the floor. OFF,
GERS are scarce in the engineering
corps and retirement of half a dozen
would create havoc.

Favors Soon forgotten.

Not many years ago the majority
of farmers In newly settled sections
were dependent upon the business
men and the merchants of the towns
to carry them through between crops.
There are farmers who can look back
a few years ago and see where they
were favored when in want of supplies
and had not the money to pay for the
same Prosperity changes many, and
this may be the cause why those who
a dozen years ago were so anxious to
see the country develop, now send
much of their money to outside places
for goods needed, instead of keeping
their dollars at home to further en-
rich their community; and how soon
are faVors forgotten. The merchants
who assisted in making success pos
sible for many by quite few are
passed by. Is this Christian graft
tude?

BROTHERS in OPPOSITE
PARTIES In CONGRESS
wv ASHINGTON.- Fulton family
EZ -.....-a-.4a.<a

VIZ ASHINGTON.-The Fulton family
Wv is well represented In the Sixtieth
congress. There is a Fulton among
the Republicans in the senate and a
Fulton among the Democrats Of the
house. The senator is Charles Will
liam Fulton, of the state of Oregon,
the member of the house, Elmer L..
Fulton, who comes to Washington as
a member of the first congressional
delegation from the state Of Oklahoma.
The Oldest officeholder at the capital
fails to recall another case just like
that of the Fultons Brothers have
served in congress before. In the last
congress Charles B. Lands and his
brother, Frederick Lands, represented
districts in Indiana. But both are Re-
publicans.
Some years ago there were two
brothers in congress at the same time,
one in the senate and the other in the
house. They, too, belonged to the same
political party. But the Fultons are
the only brothers who have come to
congress together but divided against
themselves politically.
Senator Fulton was born in Lima,
Ia. It was there, too, that the future
Representative Fulton was born.

ROOSEVELT AND TAFT TO
DECIDE OFFICERS WEIGHT

CONFLICT of expert opinions as to
~ what kind of army officer should
ride a horse has Brought about such
a state of confusion, especially in the
engineer corps, that the president and
Secretary Taft will be compelled to
solve the problem. For instance, one
board appointed to determine the fit
ness of officers to take the equestrian
test prescribed by President Roose-
welt, decided that the exercise would
cost Col. Charles e. L. Davis, other

bet Davis" his life. He was accord
ingly ordered here from Detroit, where
he was in charge Of river and harbor

it appears the board which has been
known as the Davis retirement board,
found no physical disabilities which
would warrant his retirement.

Ia it poor policy for the farmers and

up less than dozen large stores stu
ated in great cities to do business Of
thousands of dollars in country towns.
One Chicago concern does business
through the mails of s60,0o0,00O a
year. Twenty thousand dollars in
business is about the average for the
country town store. Here We have
an example of one concern doing the
business of 5000 small stores. Is there
no. danger that should these great con-

Janitor's Good Memory.

OF the late genial and kindly heart
ed Henry Burch it is told that. good
many years ago, while he held the po-
sition of janitor of Trinity Methodist
Episcopal church, the minister one
summer Sunday morning delivered a
sermon which, it appears, had been
given By him once before, perhaps two
or three years previous.
On the Sunday in question, and dur
ing the progress of the sermon, a
violent thunderstorm came up which
created some little nervousness among
the congregation.
After the sarvices were over, and
as the minister was about to leave the
building, he met the ianitor.
Henry, said he, that was pref

ington was begun for the truant.
With knowledge born of experience,
a couple of men were dispatched to
the humble home where lives pretty
little dark-haired, dark-eyed lass of IL
or IA years, the object of Master Roose-
velt's affections. But he was not there:
he had left two hours before, bound.
SO the girl said, for a snake and bird

porium.
Quentin was finally found playing
in Massachusetts avenue, a couple of
blocks from the home of his little
sweetheart and near the school The
detectives hustled him home.

Example Of ModeAa Engineering.

A remarkable EXAMPLE of the scru-
pulous exactness vita which modern
engineering work is4 accomplished is
found in the new pifsce Of the Suevic,
which has been placed to within one
sixteenth of an inch: of the position it
must occupy to allow. of the two parts
of the vessel to be joined. When the
tubes Of London, working from either
end, were about to be united it was
found that they were only an inch or
two out Of line. The ordnance survey
Of England, when the various sections
were brought together, showed dis
crepancy Of less than five inches, and
the construction of the Forth bridge,
the greatest feat of all, was more re-
markable still. When the king came
to drive the last bolt the hole through
the various plates was SO near that

f1eient to expand the metal and allow

FACTORS IN TOWN PROGRESS.
Some Comment Affordina Thoughtful
Folk Food for Reflection.

It is the duty of every merchant to
give support to his home paper.
When he pays the editor dollars for
judicious advertising he is helping him
self, helps the editor get out better
paper, and helps the community in
general.
Pablic schools are one of the great
props of national government. The
more prosperous is a community the
higher will be the educational facili.
ties. Good schools are help to any
town and bring into it the most de
sirable classes, who seek to educate
their children. He who assists II
building up the business of tow1
also assists in lettering the schools.
Commercial clubs have been potent
factors in the advancement Of many
towns To the farmer the commercial
clubs are as important as to the man
of business. There is no reason why
the farmers of the community should
not cooperate with the business men
in every undertaking that has for it's
object the benefit of the home town.
.
The young man starting In life
should have certain object in view.
The seeking of vocation is an impor-
tant thing. Too many seek lines of
work that they are not naturally quail
fed for The greatest success is made
by the men who follow that business
or profession for which they have
natural inclination and talent.

Thousands Of people are still on
earth who can remember the dismal
failure of the Ruskin cooperative col
ony in the south, the falling to pieces
of the Belamy community in Califor-
mia, the disintegration of the "Agricul-
tural Wheel" and the hundreds OF
thousands of dollars lost day-dream-
er in Missouri and Kansas in efforts
to demonstrate the practical work OF
theoretical cooperation. Still people
will bite at bats thrown out by the
alleged cooperative commercial con-
Germs, who have headquarters in large
cities and do business through the
mails.

Abuse Of Credit,

It is the abuse of the credit system
that frequently causes trade to drift
from the home town to some distant
concern. Merchants extend credits to
their customers, and when the bill
reaches a large figure, the customer
avoids the store of his benefactor, and
when goods are needed sends the cash
to some distant place. This is unfair,
yet it is too often the case.
No Doubt of It.
