HIS MOTHERS DARLING.

"My niece, Mary, was always a
we'll. meaning girl, but she would say
the wrong things almost every time,
said one old gentlemen to another
land she's got boy that's going to
be her very counterpart. "
The old mans eyes twinkled, and
his plain, good-natured face was
puckered with enjoyment, as he drew
from his pocketbook small sheet OF
note paper.
"I sent Hal toy-monkey last
year, that plays all kinds of pranks
when it's wound up" he chuckled.
"Sent it to him for his birthday,
which happens on the Fourth OF July.
Now, listen to this letter of thanks
got from him. He's just eight years
old:
"Deey Uncle Ned Il am delited
with the munkey, thank you. He
makes me think of you often. And
whenever mamma winds him up and
he begins to jump, mamma and /
feel as if we were back at your house
where all those toys are, and mamma
will look at the munkey and say :
"That's your Uncle Ned all over. I"
"Good-by, from

THE FOURTH OF JULY.

Unfurl it and wave it, the banner of glory,
The pride of the Nation, the flag of the free
Our forefathers gave it, immortal in story
Unfurled long ago beneath Liberty's tree;
Its stars shine anew on their bright nelds OF
azure,
It's stripes tell the story of honor and fame;
1t floats where the cannon rest in the embrazure,
1t never was lowered to hatred or shame
The Fourth of July All, what memories cluster
Around it, Columbias holiest days
The old Continentals see them at muster,
Determined, God-guarded, prepared for the
They stand like wall on the battlefield CORY,
Some deep in the shadow, some out in the shine
They fear not the foemen. they rush not to glory,
But form the true bulwarks of Libertys line.
The snow falls apace in the winter-locked valley,
A half naked sentry is guarding the brave;
Behind him the heroes all eager to rally
Where Washington thunders with banners and
The roses bloom now where, in poor regimentals,
Our forefathers suffered in ice-ladened gorge,
And Love weaves crown for the old Continen-
tails
Who breasted the horrors of grim Valley Forge.
They gave us the day that returns with such
splendOr,
They left us the banner which gloriously flies,
And while meath the roses sleeps each brave de-
fender,
We thank them anew for the homes that we
prize;
Our eagle scars proudly above the tall mountain
And bathes his dark pinions in Liberty's sun.
While millions drink freely from Freedoms fair
In the heart of the land that our forefathers
won.
Let the fife and the drum, in their way, tell the
story
How battled the brave for the land they adored,
How out of the battle-smoke fiuttered Old Glory.
And red grew the blade of the trustiest sword !;
Let Lexington thrill every heart in the nation
From the roseate vale to the mountain top
high;
Let every heart flutter with proud exultation
Atthe dawn of the worlds only Fourth of July !!
The frown of monarch, the red regimentals,
Appalled, not the true on the land and the sea |;
They fought with one purpose, the old Continen-
They knew twas a God-given right to be free !;
And, knowing they stood till the war clouds had
drifted
Afar from the shores whence the foeman had
Until they could see. meath the battle-smoke
lifted,
The banner beneath whose bright stars they
had bled.
So proudly unfurl it today in its beauty,
And long may it float over mountain and wave
'Tis the Fourth of July and it calls us to duty,
AS it tells of the deeds of our ancestors brave !;
High over the bells that are joyfnlly ringing
Its folds flash afar in the light of the sun;
To the affairs of Freedom the millions are bring

No Need of shin subsidies.

AS the discussion of ship subsidies
proceeds it becomes each day more ap-
parent that there is no necessity of
taxing the people of the United States
to build up a merchant marine.
Three causes contributed to the de-
cay of the shipping industry.
The substitution of iron for wood
made it impossible for the American
sailing clipper to compete with the
steam freighter.
The high protective import duty on
iron and steel made the cost of build
ing freighters in the United States SO
high that they could not compete with
freighters built abroad.
The law denying American register
to foreign-built ships prevented Amer
lean ship owners from purchasing
ships abroad and sailing them under
the American flag.
A ship subsidy bill is to be intro
duced at the next session of Congress.
Representatives of the people must not
be deluded by prophecies of great
trade with the orient and South Amer
lea ON completion of the Panama ca
nal. This trade is merely possibili-
ty, and has nothing to do with the de-
STABILITY or necessity of ship subsi-
dies.
If subsidies are right after the Pan
anna ditch is completed they are right
now. If subsidies are wrong now, they
will be wrong when the canal is in
operation.
There is no lack of OCEAN tonnage to
carry all American freight Idle
freighters are tied up in every great
port for lack of cargo. Barely per
cent of our manufactured products are
exported. Our highly protected manu-
larger proportion because they can
make higher profits in the home mar
ket than abroad.
From what source, then, is to come
the freight for the merchant marine
that the people are urged to substitute?
The Journal doubts that ship sub
sidy would create a merchant navy.
Senator Elkins has shown that sub
sidy CHI be provided at the expense
of the tariff barons. if necessary. All
the available facts do not show that a
subsidy is necessary or advisable

Senator AIdrich made his first
speech in his Western campaign Sat
urday night at Chicago A few days
before his appearance it was announc-
ed that the Senator had no thought Of
urging any special plan on the people
and that his principal idea was to give
us Westerners a chance to become &C
quainted with him that we might see
that he was unadorned with horns
and hoofs. As our objection is not TO
the Aldrich personality but TO the Al

not able TO see how an exhibition OF
his personality win do much TO change
our attitude. What we '-in these parts

Busy Days for President Taft.
During his swing through the West
and South President Taft has made
yoluminous promises of reforms to be
enacted by the administration during
the coming session of Congress. If he
carries out even a majority of these
assurances his work will be cut out.
Even his strenuous predecessor never
outlined program so extensive and
diversified.
Here are the principal matters that
President TAFT has pledged the admin
istration to accomplish:
Creation of a central bank of issue
which shall control the treasury re
serve and deal with currency strin-
geneies.
Establishment of a postal savings
bank system.
Adoption of the proposed amend
ment to the constitution authorizing
the levying of an income tax, such tax
to be enforced only in cases of ma.
tional emergency
Addition of a feature to the corpora
ton tax imposing tax upon interest
to be paid, thus reducing the amount
of interest a corporation would pay
to bondholders to the extent of the tax
collected.
Recommendation that no further
changes be made in the tariff during
the administration.
States, not the federal government
to correct swollen fortunes by means
of drastic inheritance laws.
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1909-11-30

Public funds have been squandered
shamelessly. Vast armies of employees
have been added to the public pay
roll Millions of dollars have been
spent in projects OF questionable value.
Large additional expenditures are pro-
posed. No sign of economy is appaE-
ent.
On the contrary. there is every in
dication that President Taft proposes
to increase the public burden. raise
tax rates, and pour out millions to be
absorbed by Republican grand dukes
like the Sahara desert swallowing up
Niagara.
For the sake OF national credit, and
in the interest of preventing the finan-
cial upheaval that must result If pres
ent conditions continue, it is to be
hoped that Mr. Taft's cabinet advisers
will insist on retrenchment at Wash
ington, and protect the treasury de-
partment from the possible influence
of certain high financiers who may
desire to further their own ends at
public expense. Chicago Journal.

CHANGE IN MUIR GLACIER.


Icebergs Have Drifted from Face,
Making Visit Possible.
Something wonderful has recently
taken place in Alaska. This is the
drifting away of icebergs from the
front of Muir glacier, in Glacier Bay,
so that for the first time in nine years
this famous glacier, the most noted on
the continent, has been visited. In
1899 submarine earthquake took
place at Yakutat, and ever since the
approach to this glacier has been so
choked with ice that boats have turned
away with their passengers disap-
pointed Now, through some peculiar
drifting of the ice, steamboats, can
enter the channel and after cautious
ly pushing their way get glimpse
of the left face.
In the nine years away from the
sight of man this glacier has shown
remarkable changes, says an exchange.
When Prof John Muir, after whom it
was named, visited it. it had solid
face two miles long, about $50 feet
above the water line. 1t was live
glacier, and great masses of ice
toppled into the sea with reverbera-
tions like thunder. Water would
splash fifty feet high and the sight
was fearsome and fascinating.
To-day the glacier assumes diff
ferent aspect Erosion has worked out
new bay which will soon be chart
ed. and the glacier itself seems to
have two parts. the live part, from
which icebergs break and fall with a
tremendous noise, and a dead. arm,
or one with land forming between it
and the sea. This change is due to
hill which projected through the
top Of the ice when Prof. Muir was
there. Now that hilltop is a large
mountain dividing the ice fields. The
ice has also receded at least four
miles in the nine years.
This is without doubt the most re-
markable known glacier on this con-
tinent. though Alaska has other won
derful glaciers which occupy clefts
high up in the mountains, and some
of which have an elevation of 5000
feet. Among those are the Taku, Da-
wilson, Window and lie Coute. But
Muir glacier has 354 square miles Of
ice. and presents such an imposing
sight that it is considered the crown
ing glory Of Alaska's stupendous seen
ery-the sight of lifetime.

tural stations and the labors of the
agricultural specialists. There is more
diversity in EARN products, less OF
work ~ mere rule of thumb, ans ap-
proach to that ideal of the intelligent
farmer, scientific tillage of the soil.
Farm Life Ideal.
There are attractions associated
with rural life that make a home on
the farm preferable to living in a
city. The dangers incident to rails
ing a family in the city are infinite
ly greater than in the country. 1t is
dangerous for the child to be on the
street alone for fear of being run down
by street car, express wagon or au-
tomobile.
The natural health and vigor of
children reared in the country are SUI
perior to city-raised children. Coun-
try cooking, with fresh vegetables.
eggs, milk, butter and bread made by
the farmers wife, far surpasses in
health-producing attributes the style
of living in cities In the country the
atmosphere is clear, while in cities it
is hazy with coal smoke and clouds of
dust swept up from the macadamized
streets by every wind that blows. The
country is the ideal place to grow
healthful bodies and develop clear,
strong minds. The child with a ro-
bust body trained to do things mas a
confidence in himself that cannot be
acquired in any other way The child
reared in the country develops the
qualities OF a leader, and from the
farm have come the Hills, Harrimans
and Morgans that are now the worlds
captains of industry The contact with
nature not only creates vigorous
bodies, but also instills the princi-
pies of honesty and morality in the
mind, without which enduring success
rs impossible.
Farm life and investment is the
most stable of all the industries. One
reason why so many city people fail
to accumulate a competence for the
vicissitudes of old age is the insta-
bility of business enterprises in cities.
One passes an attractive store with
elegant display Of merchandise, and
he notes that the place is for rent in
a few weeks. People with limited cap
ital in cities invest it in enterprises
they do not understand and their pos
sessions are soon swallowed up by re-
lentless creditors. Not so is the sta
bility of investments in agricultural
lands. The earth is an inexhaustible
repository of undeveloped wealth that
only awaits the labors of the husband
man to materialize into bountiful har-
vests to enrich the owner of the soil
multitude of small and great for
tunes took to themselves wings and
flew away in the financial panic of
1907, but the stability of agriculture
was not affected No farmer lost his
home and fortune because some bank
failed or some mercantile house went
into liquidation. Panics that affeLt
commercial and financial industries do
not depreciate the production of the
soil and the farmer finds himself i'm
mune from the calamities which wreck
the fortunes of other enterprises
