Hogs and Canada rhistles.

A writer in an exchange claims
to have been quite successful in
Kidding his farm of Canada this
ties. His plan is as follows:
Fence about the patch with a
good pig-tight fence of some
manner, and when the plants are
we'll up, turn in a bunch of thrift
ty shoats, unrung, and let them
turn the patch upside down.
Every rain will help to add a
smear Of mud over the patch,
and the hot sunshine in turn will
bake the surface down, and no
plant, not even a Canada thistle,
will exist.
''The shoats will dig after the
tender rootlets for an addition to
their grain diet, and you will be
surprised how quickly and easily
this pest will have succumbed. !"

MIR. Muncey On The Outlook.

So astute man of the world
and of business as Frank A. Mum
cey is quoted as saying over in
Paris: Though am a Repub-
lican, / am not so optimistic as
are many Of my friends who
think that Mr.. Taft will have a
walkover. On the contrary, |
think it will be the hardest fight
on record. Whatever objections
may be made to Mr.. Bryan he is
a good runner. His campaign
against Mr.. Mckinley, one of
the most popular of our Presi-
dents, showed great fighting
quality
Mr.. Muncey has a more pene-
trating eye and more logical
mind than those friends whom
he quotes, who represent, it may
be remarked in passing, a goodly
number of Republicans.
Undoubtedly Mr.. Bryan has a
chance such as he never had be-
fore. First of all, there is the
weak record of the Republican
party to give him strength the
trusts it has bred, the great show
it has made by word of mouth of
combating predatory wealth,
when as a matter of fact it has
merely left the heads of the
malefacting contingent alone in
the enjoyment of their goods and
has artificially produced a panic
which has swamped bushes and
all but sent the wage-earners to
the poorhouses of the land. The
panic is still hanging over the
country, we are sorry to say. 1t
is the chief achievement of the
Republican administrator now
in power. Nothing else the re-
gime has accomplished surpasses
the panic in scope and in results.
Somehow, people do not like
parties that deliberately go out
of their way to create by eX-
traneous means a loss of conf
dence, destruction of credit and
slaughter of prosperity. There
fore, they are not likely to shout
very enthusiastically nor vote
very ardently for the Republican
party.
Then, there is the horrible
spectacle witnessed in the meth
DDS used in forcing Mr.. Taft
down the threats of the people.
INSCRIPTIONS robbery, ballot
box stuffing, fraud, high-handed
manipulation, Federal DONNA
ton were prevalent in all. parts
of the country.
The whole procedure which
eliminated in Mr.. Taft's nomi-
nominotion was one of the most
scandalous in the history OF
American politics.
Again, there is the Republican
platform, which is a tissue OF
disingenuousness, duplicity and
falsehood.
Mr.. Munsey is right. How
ever able, profound and upright
Mr.. Taft may be, those Republi-
cans are mistaken who think he
has a walkover. louisville

dent of the United States, died
suddenly at his home at West
land here at $40 o'clock this
morning. Death was due to
heart failure, complicated with
other diseases. The passing away
of Mr.. Cleveland was not imme-
diately announced, but was de-
layed until an official statement
had been prepared by the ply
sicians who had been attending
him in the various periods of his
illness.
While Mr.. Cleveland had been
seriously i'll from time to time,
the announcement of his death
came like a thunderbolt to those
who had been watching his i'll
ness. Last night there was a
slight furry among the friends
of the Clevelands that something
was seriously wrong with the ex-
President.
This was occassioned by a Wis
it of DR.. Bryant, of New York
Mr.. Cleveland's physician for
many years. Mrs. Cleveland
later in the evening, discussing
DR.. Bryant's visit, said that there
was no occasion for alarm, and
that Mr.. Cleveland was getting
along nicely. This reinsurance
totally unprepared their friends
for the announcement of his
death.
The fixing of Friday afternoon
as the time for Mr.. Cleveland's
funeral was done to make it pos
sible for President Roosevelt to
attend. The President this morn
ing wired Mrs. Cleveland his
condolences and expressed his
desire to attend the funeral.
At the same time he said he
could not come if the services
were to be held on Saturday.
Mrs Cleveland answered that the
funeral would take place Friday
afternoon, and the President is
expected. to be present.

high valuation set on worldly successes due to in

probation of wealth. social standing and public
positions of honor; those things that keep men and
women moving at high rate of speed is respon-
sible in measure. for the "breakdewns" that pop
ulate our lunate asylums and fill suicide graves.
Yet~we know that. added to this, the loss of
faith, the loss of belief in hereafter. the loss of
sense of responsibility. founded on religious
convictions should bear large share of this respon-
sibility. We know that whilst suicide in many
is the result of mental insanity that in many
other cases it is only the result of a certain moral
insanity, that springs from cowardice. from the
desire to shrk the consequences of misdeeds from
loss through repeated infdelities of a sense of
duty to God and man. The individual that sinks out
of the world is like beaten that showed fight

the suicide runs into the great court of justice
where cowarlice is condemned, where the unlaw-
fulness of his acA will be weighed and his respon-
sibility for it finely balanced.
If he has known the law, but through negli
gence, pride or wilful absorption in the very
things that brought him to death, neglected it,
then the court will hold him guilty. The IRE

THE HIGHEST CITIZENSHIP.

1t IS matter of grave doubt whether any man
or woman can be thoroughly good citizen and not
Christian. The simple statement that our society
is founded upon Christian principles-that civ
ilization is Christan-should be enough. Yet when
enters in thought into the varied duties of
izenship, measuring them by Christian standards,
even by those of the world which are more or
less marked by the never-changing rules laid down
by Christ, it becomes more and more apparent that
such rules are essential
1t would be as reasonable for normally healthy
and vigorous person to deny his physical welbeing
to attempt-to discredit the influence of Christ in
him personally. 1t would be as wise and Just 10
accept and enjoy the fruits of money heritage and
deny their source as to fail in acknowledging to
Christ His benefcence. Our civilization being
Christian we are each of us Christians. But the
point is that there can be express implied de-
NAL of this fact on the part of the best citizen
Consider but one of the citizens duties-thGt
of jury service Human judgment is so imperfect,
impressions of the same thing so varied honest
human testimony is so irreconcilabe, that in the
end there is only one safe ground to stand upon
Christianity. Training of the mind alone, however
carefully carried out, will not answer; the moral
sense must be developed and must coordinate with
the mental.
All true Christian training tends to enlighten-
ment, to the broadening of judgment, the dssips-
ton of prejudice, the development of the moral
sense as well as of the mnd-all tending to round
out the character of ideal citizenship.
1t is the duty of every thoughtful person to
reckon definitely with Christianity, the business
man does with electricity. The possibilities of the
application of both forces lmitess, and it may
be said that the demand for earnest thought is DO
greater in the one than in the other.
