WHO BIDfS HIS TIME.
BY JAMES wHITCoMB RILEY.

Who bides his time and day by day
Faces defeat full patiently
And lifts mirtbful ronndelay,
However poor his fortunes be,
He will not fail in any qualm
Of poverty-the paltry dime
1t will grow golden in his palm
Who bldes his time.
Who bides his time-he tastes the sweet
of honey in the safest tear.
And. though he fares with slowest feet,
Joy runs to meet him. drawing near,
The birds are heralds of his cause,
And, like never ending rhyme,
The roadsides bloom in his applause
Who bides his time.
Who bides his time and fevers not
In the hot race that none achieves,
Shall wear cool wreathen laurel ,wrough
With crimson berries in the leaves,
And he shall reign goodly king
And sway his hand DER every cline.
With peace writ on his signet ring,
Who bides his time.

In another minute or perhaps
two, Senator Lodge arose again to
face the rising tide, but it rolled in

knew that the storm of applause had

conjured. So they let it rage, and.
for nearly an hour, the waves of
that storm broke and ragged in that
place.

Tomorrow the Republican county

the delegates to the state convention
at st. Paul, and we trust that all
private ambitions or schemes will be
subordinated to the end that repre-
sentative men from the different
sections of the county may be sent,
without tying up to any private
scheme or candidate. Men of good
judgment can be trusted to do the
right thing at the convention with
out any string tied to them. The
only thing to be looked out for is
that the delegates are really repre-

While The Gazette shares the
common regret of the people of this
section, that the nomination of
Roosevelt against his earnestly ex-
pressed wishes was not possible last
week, it finds some satisfaction in
the fact that the choice of candi-
dates and the policies of Roosevelt
were endorsed bv the great national
convention. AS the campaign pro-
crosses it will develop that w. II.
Taft is a man worthy of the conf
dence of the nations idolized execu-

successor. Under the circumstances
the embodiment in the platform of a
pledge to revise the tariff at spec
ial session Of congress to be called
after the Inauguration Of the next
president will have to satisfy the
crying demand for tariff reform in
the Republican ranks.

An exchange points out that one
effect of the policy of the meat trust
In elevating the price of meat has
been to materially lessen its con-
sumption in many families which
had previously assumed that meat
was necessary for every meal
of the day. Through necessity they
have learned that starvation did not
result when they cut out the meat
ration except for occasional meals.
Most physicians and dietarians ad-
wise only a moderate consumption
of meat for the average family and
an increasing number maintain that
most of us would have better health
on a vegetable diet. Anyway. the
plan affords one way for getting
ahead of the meat trust, which is a
pretty strong argument in Its favor

Chairman Burrows. in his key
note speech at the recent national
convention. stammered and made
hard work in pronouncing the name
of Roosevelt. Is it any wonder that
it almost gags the average stand
pat member of congress to pro-
nounce the name of the man who
has gone after them SO many times
during the past session with the ex-
ecutive big stick?
