There are thousands of families Of

the expense is prohibitive. Camping

OUTINGS THAT COST NOTHING.

Four families of salaried men living
in medium sized city enjoy all of the
luxuries of country estate. Their
work is in town and combining, but
their Sundays and their holidays are
their own. Their incomes are good
and supporting, but not luxuriant.
However, it costs them only $40 a year
to rent small building in the natural
timber grove of nearby farm, and
each possesses a horse and buggy.

with rustic cooking and dining equip

CRAFTSMANSHIP NOT ALL SCIENCE.

Admirers of Governor Hughes are
now complaining that the idealist In
public life seems to have no place IN
American politics. The inability of the
Hughes boom to get even start, and
the mans incapacity to stir up an en-
thusiastic following because of the cold
blooded analytical temperament shown
in dealing with public questions, seem
to have disqualified him for candi-
dacy among the American people, ana
admirers Of his high mindedness re-
greet the situation.
But. after all, is not the Hughes in
cident the commonest expression of
human nature? Must we not admit
that craftsmanship consists as much
of leadership as 1t does of scientific
analysis? The theory of the govern
ment under which we live is that the
people govern themselves, not that they
elect to be governed by the men whom
they place in office, and the man who
would be a statesman under such a
government must be leader as we'll
as an expert in jurisprudence.
1t is the quality of heroic leadership
which makes Roosevelt the power that
he is in our public life today. AS an
actual doer of things, Taft has him
beat in the records. Hughes probably
possesses the wisdom to meet great
problems in law-making with fully as
much understanding. In times of
stress people are inclined to move ir-
resistibly In one direction and to ele-
vate some very able person to their
shoulders to be carried along for ex-
ecutive duties when the victory is won
but in ordinary times q leader is need
ed to inspire enthusiasm, to organize
the following, and to recruit it's ranks
to a size sufficiently strong to win vic
tories. Our scientists have their place
in public service, but they will seldom
inspire movement among our people,
and they are not success as leaders.

CONVICT LABOR ON ROADS.

The utilization of convict labor In
building roads in the south seems to
nave passed the experimental stage and
is pronounced a success. From an
economical point there is no longer any
doubt that it pays to keep the convicts
working for the Improvement OF the
public highways. A statement was re-
Gently made showing that it costs but
80 cents day to board and clothe
convicts, while free labor costs in that
section from 81 to s1.25 per day. The

however, is to the convict himself.

both physically and mentally, and
does much to reform MIN ana make
him a better man. The conditions for
his reformation are improved, and the
chances of making him q worthy citi-
zen when released are greatly in
creased.
The convict at work on the highway
does not come into competition with
free labor. and the work is a benefit to
the whole community, which thus gets
something in return for the cost of
maintaining these reformatory inst1-
buttons. 1t is said that in some south
ern states public highways of cement
and gravel have been extended at an
outlay of only $1,000 to $4,000 per mile
The benefit to be derived from good
roads would more than pay this
amount in very short time, and these
roads last Indefinitely with only slight
expense for repairs. Northern states
could undoubtedly learn valuable
lesson from the south in the matter of
utilizing convict labor.

Giving to the Poor.

S'NiHS W VIC W.T.
1ndiscr5minate giving to the poor
was pointed out as a. menace to socie-
ty by M. NJ. Mangasarian before the
Independent Religious society.
Poverty is as destructive of So
ciety as ignorance, crime or disease"
he said. I'm self defense, then, we
must combat poverty as we combat
any other social evil But how? Peo-
pie have a penchant for the shortcut
to salvation. In religion it is believe
and be saved; in the new therapeutics
it is think and be cured; in economics
it is 'legislate and have plenty Yet
the whole history of man proves that
the shortcut is will-o'-the wisp.
"In the treatment of the unemployed
our first care should be to separate
those whose poverty has been brought
about by misfortune from those whose
poverty Is the result of their own
fault. The claim of the drunkard and
the improvident must receive no at
tention until the worthy but unfor-
tunate ores have been cared for.
ITO safe the sluggard from the eff
fects of Incidence or the drunkard
from the punishment he deserves is to
support these vices at the public ex-
pense. Pity to the improvident is in
justice to the frugal More than char
ity, the poor whose poverty has been
brought about by their own fault need
discipline and correction. There is
less and less demand for the unframed
laborer. Hence the necessity for pro-
tecting society against the inefficient
class which our loose methods of char
ity are helping to build UP.
IF we do not look out. the best re-
sources of the community will go to
support the defective citizens. That
will spell bankruptcy. Rome fell, not
because of her wars, or vices, or
slaves, but because of the weight of
the wastrel who pulled down the en-
pire by draining all forms of wealth.
Society owes to every one the gift of
hope, but society does not exist for
the drunkard or the sluggard, because
it cannot exist by them"

HIS RECORD AGAINST HIM.
(webster City freeman Tribune)

(Webster City T'reeman-Tribune)
The supporters of Senator Allison
have been dwelling with particular
emphasis upon his ability as a iinan-
cier and proclaiming him as one light
in the senate that always shines right.
Yet when the Aldrich financial bill
came up for a vote last week Allison
lodged it. A man of far less wisdom
but of courage would serve the coun-
try better. 1t is not the profundity or
ability of Roosevelt that makes him
such a power in behalf of the people.
1t is his courage, honesty and SINGER
ity, coupled with the remarkable en-
ergy and force of the man. Oh for
a few Roosevelts in the United States

Friend, and this is what they decided
to do:
Every child is given trading stamp
every time he goes to Sunday school,
and five Of these trading stamps can
be redeemed for valuation equal ID
the purchasing power of cents. OF
course, it takes a lot of time, but then
it is great fun to save the stamps, and
the children know that if they attend
Sunday school every Sabbath for five
weeks they will get cents worth of
something they want.
Now the children of the town all go
to the Presbyterian church school, and
incidentally the other churches are de-
nouncing trading stamps.

There are those who believe that

of things has wrought failure on more
occasions than one. Indeed, 1t is a
species of laziness thru which one
justifies his Indifference or carelessness
as to the onward march of progress.
1t requires thought and effort to keep
pace with things. Those who are un-
willing to do so fall back on the basis
of consistency. They do not appreciate
that all things in this world must be
considered with relation to their bear
ing ON other things which have to do
with the current order of things. A
