"UncIe Snm's, View.

(By Hyland c.. Kirk, Historian, Second
Corpse
well, Uncle SAM the scribe began,
an this election, who's your man?
There's Bryan, who has kept the pace
These many years; and in this race,
If he is ever going to win,
'Twould seem you ought to let him in"
Then Uncle Sam, he crossed his leg,
Shrugged his shoulders just peg,
And passed his hand up thru his hair:
You're sympathetic, 1 declared
But, tell me, boy, perhaps you can,
What should count in the winning
"The fact he's run three times, or four,
Looks well, talks much, and then some
more,
Trains with all parties, claims ali rights,
Because of his two former fights
Should these things count?' And then
he laughed,
1.-The man the country needs is Taft"
But, Uncle, wouldn't Bryan do?"
The old man grinned: "It might be true,
He's do us all! Now, see here, lad,
I'm glad ye called, I'm really glad.
The country's gettin' sick of graft,
And that's one reason 1 want Taft!
Besides said he, '1 want man
Who's not rabid partisan
Who sees great things for this fair land
With will to make it far more grand
And he can do it, or I'm daft;
Yes, I've tried him, and L say-Taft!'
But, Uncle, Bryan wants show!"
yes, others do" said he; IT know
Large numbers unemployed, and who
Need some strong hand to pull 'em
thru
Some strategic, farreaching plan;
And Taft can do it, Taft's the man!
Make no mistake, my boy" said he,
'The country is the thing, you see
It's what we need, not 81 .Iply one,
And / judge Taft by what he's done,
With power to do far more, I say;
I'm really glad you called. Good day!"

comes TO a close
End of Hearstis,n.


Unless signs fail this campaign is
likely to mark the end of Hearstism,
That is the tendency of all reports from
every quarter. All along the line Of
New York State cities It is the same
story. There Is not enough of the
Hearst campaign to find the pieces. His
last stronghold. If he has any, seems to
be in New York City There is some
uncertainty as to how much he can do
there, where his newspapers circulate
extensively on the East Side. But the
highest estimates of his strength in
Greater New York is 10000 votes. He
seems to have been ground out by the
Socialists, who are expected to show a
very large vote, which will come from
both parties, probably little more
from the Democrats than from the
Republicans.
Investigations in number of States
indicate that whereas Hearst has been
fighting Bryan with all the ingenuity
there is in him and hoping indirectly
to be a strong ally of Taft and the Re-
publicans, he has not done much in
turning votes. He has caused no little
annoyance to both parties. But 1t is
claimed that he has overreached him.
self, and that he has denounced Bryan
too vehemently to be credited. Wheth-
er he has played himself out as po-
litical factor, or whether he will find
some new vantage point by the time
the next campaign rolls around, is in
teresting the politicians immensely.

Washington, has made the following state
ment of the scope of the seasons work:
IAN of the coal in this field lies nearly
flat and in what are commonly known as
blanket seams; that is, If coal outcrops
on one side of a hill it probably extends
through and will be found on the other side
of the hill at about the same level, so that
the geologist who can read the natural
signs can trace a coal bed for miles, even
though no coal Is seen on the surface.
Many ranchers appear to think that so
long as there is no coal in sight the land
cannot be classed IS coal land. This view
is obviously erroneous, for even a twenty
foot coal bed may be completely hidden by
a grassy slope, and yet by a little digging
may become a paying mine Therefore,
such an operation as shoveling down the
top of a bank to conceal a coal bed at its
base neither d~eceives the geologist nor
makes noncoal land out of coal land. The
fact that there is nj coal, at the surface
in a whole township does not necessarily
imply that it is noncoal land; there may be
a workabl coal bed just below the surface.
C fact to be determined by examining the
geology of the surrounding area or by
