GREAT POLITICAL THOUGHT.

The following editorial para
graph from the Commoner 10 good
for a Saturday evening political
thought: THE greatest political
thought in tho world is that en-
bodied in the Declaration of indie
pendence, namely, that all men
are created equal. This is the ba-
sis of popular government, and
popular government is spreading.
It does not mean that men are, OF
will be, equal in physical strength,
in intellectual ability, in moral
character, or in wealth-it simply
means that God never gave to one
human being natural right that
He denied to any other human
being, and that in the contempla-
tion of government, all must stand
equal before the law. Out of this
basic principle all other political
principles grow, and by it, all
methods of government and all
policies must be measured. "

Theodore Roosevelt not only
named the candidate of the Re-
publican party for president, but
dictated the platform, doing both
in the face of solid opposition of
Republican leaders who in the past
have completely dominated Re-
publican politics and conventions.
The chances are that he will be
able to do the same thing four
years hence. Indeed, it need sur
prise no one to see Roosevelt again
nominated for the presidency in
1916, for he is still a young man,
and may by that time have killed
all the lions, tigers, hippopotami
and grizzly bears that he cares to
see put out of the way.-Albany

Swell society at Atlantic City is

in their midst" and has moved
into it with his family. Moreover,
he says it it his intention to spend
a pleasant and healthful season
His neighbors are the most exclu-
sive and aristocratic in the sum-
mer colony. Rumor has it that
the presence of the negro family is
the result of a social feud. A rich
woman owned the cottage and
lived in it last year. Society did
not "take her up" and she left il
midseason, placing the cottage in
the hands of a Philadelphia agent.
It's tranfer to the negro preacher

Taft.

Senator Bacon says: The prin-
cipal thing which will regret if
Mr.. Taft is elected president is
that it will prevent consideration
of the question of relieving the
American people of the horrible
burden of the Philippine Islands
a burden which is grievous and in
tolerable, both from a pecuniary
and political standpoint. Secre-
tary Taft is unalterably welded to
the retention of the Philippine
Islands for at least generation
to come, and the retention of chose
islands costs the American people,
directly and indirectly, not one
dollar less than a hundred million
dollars a year, while practically
they bring US nothing. In case OF
war with a foreign power they
would involve us in an expenditure
which is incalculable, and there
would be great danger OF a ma
tional sacrifice and humiliation
beyond power of estimate.

PUSH.

If there was more push in the
world there would be fewer hun
cry, half-starved, homeless, suffer
ing children fewer broken-down,
dissipated men and women; less
need for aims houses, houses of
correction, and homes for the
friendless.
Push means lift for a neighbor
in trouble. Push means a lift for
yourself out of the slough of de-
spondency and shiftlessness; out
of trouble, real and fancied. Push
never hurts anybody. The harder
the push the better, if it is given
in the right direction. Always
push up hill-few people need a
push down hill. Don't be afraid
of your muscles and slne~s; they
were given you to use. Don't be
afraid of your hands; they were
meant for service. Don't be afraid
of what your companion may say.
Don't be afraid of your conscience ;
it will never reproach you for q
good deed-but push with all your
heart, mind and soul, whenever
you see anything or any body that
will be better for a good long,
strong determined push.
Push! 1t is just the word for
the grand, clear morning of life;
it is just the word for strong arms
and young hearts; it is just the
word for the world that is full of
work as this is. If anybody is in
trouble, and you see it, don't stand
back, push
If there is anything good being
done in any place where you hap
pen to be, pushl
