Passengers riding on the platforms
do go at their own risk" according to
the rule Of almost all street railways,
and the statement is by no means
mere form of words. A Boston lad
stepped from a car in order that two
women might aligbt. AS he boarded
it again the car started suddenly, and
he was injured. He sued the com
pany and got verdict, but the
Supreme Court of Massao usetts has
set it aside on the ground that "by
voluntarily becoming a passenger on
a car so crowded that he could not
get inside, he took the risks incident
to transportation under these circum-
stances" 1t seems hard that an act
of courtesy should lead to misfortune,
and that this in turn should be met
with a Served you right" but such
warnings are meant to discourage not
the practice of courtesy, but the
assumption of unnecessary risks.

With the object of lessening the
strain on horses, the new gasoline
power device, which is being tried
on combined harvesters this season,
if successful, will prove the greatest
boon to grain growers that has yet
been discovered. The idea is to OBJ
tain steady motion by an engine in
stead of maintaining it by horses, as
has formerly been the case, and 10
this manner great number of them
can he eliminated. Heretofore both
traction and motion have been gener-
ated by the aid of horse-fesh and had
it's drawbacks owing to the fact that
when corners wers turned motion was
lost and could not be kept even. With
the new device. however, this can be
kept continual from the engines and
with no power from the horses.

in the way and to the extent recon-

Aldrich's announcement that be
would support the corporation tax,
first, as one means of defeating the
income tax measure now pending and,
secondly, as a means of meeting the
treasury deficit for the next two or
three years shows that the conserva-
tive sentiment in the senate is in
favor of the Taft programme. II this
tax is to be imposed upon corporations
as an emergency tax, there would
seem to be no reason for considering
now the the propriety of imposing a
general income tax, unless Congress

question of amendment to the consti-
tuition in obedience to President Taft's
recommendation.

President Taft, according to Il

President Taft, according to tho
omniscient newspapers, is helping Mrs.
Taft to make the White House a
home. The idea is that these good
Americans are going to try to live in
the White House as they would if it
were their private property, to regu-
late business to the executive office
buildings, to diminish the ceremon-
ious trappings of high position. and
make their friends feel "at home"
There are difficulties in the way. A
public official, no matter where he
lives, must resign himself to having
his parlor turned into a conference
room. One of the most retiring of
distinguished American women re-
GENTLY complained that her house
had become public institution. More
over, no American, shifting and rest

for limited time. 1t lacks the extra
bay window that we put on ourselves,

The services at the Baptist church
will be Of very interesting character
all day; we are aiming to make these
summer services bright, brief and
helpful. The Billie school will be at
the usual hour, 10 a. m.. and we hope
every member will make a good effort
to be present; then the preaching SER
vice will be one of especially interest
ing character to every one. and one
that no protesting Christian should
miss. The subject for the sermon will
be "Where Art Thou?" The evening
service at o'clock will be one espeo-
tally suited to the warm evening; it
will open with stereopticon song
service, and this means something
good. Then there will be a fifteen
minute address with pictures, the
whole service taking about an hour.
Don't forget you have hearty invita-
tion. There is nothing to pay but the
regular offering will be taken.

It is said that the English language
is loaded down with 10000 useless
words. We do not know whether
that is or is not an exaggeration, but
it does nor require much reflection
to realize how few words are sufficient
for ordinary conversation. In almost
every community in this country there
are Americans whose vocabulary by
which they expless all their wants

hundred words, and even that of
