THE CALL OF THE E S
saturday Evening Posi-.

Saturday Evening Post.
1t lures, II draws, It beckons, with an
insist still but strong,
1t runs with a soft persistence through
dreams. the whole night long.
It stays at my side In the daytime, and oft
through the stress and strain
l near 1t calling, calling, Come back TO
your own again!'
The hazy blue Of the mountains the WAIT
of the praifie scent,
The easy swing of the saddle, which lulls
to a calm content.
The sky for a roof above you. the green
for your tired eyes,
And the calling, calling packard to the
life that satisfies.
With all OF the earth's wild freedom, with
all Of the way to go,
With nothing to fret or harass, with room
for friend and foe,
With a smile from the eyes that lovS you
a word for your ear alone,
And the voices calling, calling, ."Come
back. come back to your own!"
INC day by day as ] listen / feel that ms
will grows weak,
The tug at my heart-strings strengthens
and draws, till I fam would seek
Far, far in the hazy distance, the path
that ! trod of yore,
Which leads to the voices calling. "Come
back TO your own once more!"

ROOSEVELT YOUNG AT so.
Retains the Energy and Enthusiasm
of Youth,

OF Ouths
The Interpreter In American Magazine.
Roosevelt is the youngest man of so l
have ever seen. The half century hasn't
bowed him down since ] first saw him,
twenty-eight years ago, in the national
convention with his fighting face" turned
suddenly toward a delegate from the Dis
trict of Columbia who had had the temerity
to dispute him.. He is young himself and
he likes young men or middle-aged men
with steam in them around him, 1t is a
safe bet that he had rather spend an even
ing with a lot OF boys in an athletic club
discussing q. the relative merits of the
straight left and right swing than chatting
with somebody from the Smithsonian insti-
tuition on the archaeological evidences Of
evolution. And, funny thing about 1t, he
does both.
think he goes out of office with mixed
feelings. 1t is not all regret nor all ella
ton. But it is largely regret. In his own
phrase, he has had a good time In the
White House. But It hasn't all been pleas
ant. 1t hasn't been easy to attack In mes
sages and sue in the courts men with whom
he had been brought up as a boy in New
York.
But on the whole he has had fun, and
certainly he has made fun for most of us
and a whole lot OF nervous excitement for
the rest. / don't want to Jakeriis him, but
/ feel that he will be missed, and l am
quite sure that when he takes his gun In
his hand and dives into the forest there
will be an almost universal shout OF;
Goodbye, Teddy, take keer of yourself"

SALARY unlift Checked.
Springfield Republican.

Even though the sundry civil appropria-
ton bill carries a presidential salary item
of SIS, 900, Mr.. Taft will be little or no bet
ter provided for in this respect than Mr..
Roosevelt has been for a year or two. In
this time the president has had at his
disposal 5000 a year, additional to his
salary of s50,OOO, for use in part or whole,
according to his discretion, for travelling
expenses. Now the $4,000 travel fund is
merged into the salary from which the
president must meet his transportation
costs. SO fails the whole movement for
salary increases among high federal Off
cials, which had gained such promising
Roadway earlier I'm the session. 1t is just
as we'll. considering the low state OF the
public treasury and the hard times among
taxpayers.

I%nterurban RAILWAYS.

The Incorporation of another inter-
urban line thatS promises to make
Omaha n of its terminal points
brings again to attention the fact that
Omaha has Jagged far behind in this
phase of urban development. The
lines that have been projected from
time to time during the last decade
or longer have never gotten far be-
yond the promissory point. One was
developed to the point of securing
right of way and doing a large amount
of grading, but for years nothing has
been done on it.
1t is not easy to understand what
Influence has operated to prevent the
construction of electric lines radiating
from Omaha and connecting the
nearby towns. Such lines have been
built elsewhere in the country in COM
muntties much smaller and of consid-
erably less Importance than Omaha,
having attached the surrounding ter
ritory by a network of electric lines.
These have almost uniformly been
found profitable, the service afforded
by them being such as to attract bust
ness most readily.
All who have studied the problem
deeply have agreed that Omaha would
be greatly benefited by such a system
and the general impression is that Its
operation could be made profitable. II
only remains to secure capital and
build the lines. Whether this will ever
be achieved is yet to be decided, but
the demand is growing every day az
the region Immediately surrounding
the city increases in wealth and i'm.
portance.

WHEAT GROWERS TRUST.
Nebraska story AN Editorial
Snort.
Leslie's WeekIey.


Leslie's Weekley.
The ~trust-busters must get to work in
Nebraska. A recent dispatch from Hastings
announces that the wheat growers Of Ne
braska, Kansas and Oklahoma, in which
section one-third of the winter wheat crop
of the country is produced, have formed an
association to advance and maintain the
price of winter wheat. All the members
signed a pledge not to sell their next years
crop except at prices to be fixed by the
association. Two thousand wheat growers
rave Joined in a pledge to put up the price
Of wheat, and we presume that every one
OF these members feels that he is justified
in getting as good a price for his crops as
he possibly can. But what would be said
u wheat was produced by a corporation
and the latter combined its interests in
three different states, controlling one-third
of the output to put up prices and main
tain them at high prices? How long be-
fore the attorney general of the United
States. with the Big Stick behind him,
would be raising a rumpus over this pal
pable violation OF the Sherman antitrust
law? What delight a Judge OF Lands stripe
would take In imposing a fine OF S2s,OOO,OO

TANNING In the Moral Sense.

Baltimore American.
Now the supreme court of the United

and keep them so, is about the best way
of making them unpopular. In time. a
moral sense will govern the case; but a
big. round fine Is much more expeditions.

A mock duel with pistols and wax bull
let's was the unique stunt pulled off In the
presence OF a large crowd in the New York
Athletic club a few nights ago. The shoot
ing irons and the bullets were brought
from Paris by James Murray, an American
fencing master, who was one OF the prin~
cipals In the exhibition. Each of the prin-
cipals donned a black robe and adjusted a
wire head mask, fitted with an oblong
piece OF thick plate glass. to protect the
eyes. nose and mouth. All the conditions
of a genuine duel were in evidence, and the
scene was strikingly realistic. At a signal
the two men. back to back, stepped out
ten PAGES. and then, facing about, took
delibei ate aim at each other and fired.
One bullet struck the left side OF the mem
ber's headpiece, and the other hit Murray
over the small ribs on the right side, caus-
ing him to finch ever so little at the mo-
ment OF the impact. Several OF the MEM
bers then tried their skill with the pistols,
which have a light steel shield inclosing
the hand and trigger guard, to protect the
hand from a shot coming toward the
shooter. 1t is the intention to Introduce
pool matches with dueling pistols loaded
with these wax bullets.

OAHU COLLEGE
BEATS SAILORS

The baseball team at Oahu College
made great hit with Coach Arnold
and the many college spectators and
rooters yesterday afternoon at Puma
hou old field, by handing bunch of
whitewash to the good boys from the
Iroquois.
1t seems unfair to say it, but it must
be stated that Mr. Arnold visited the
Advertiser and purchased the last re-
naming drops of the Waialua white
wash that were left. He sprinkled
these over the field, and the boys play
ed accordingly.
The score was ID to 0, and most Of
the big score was made in the first in
ming. when the Punahou boys made ten
runs. After that the sailors pulled
themselves together and held the col
legs@lads down to four runs. Dreier
pitched very good game for the sail
ors, but received poor support. OF
course, the sailor boys took the game
merely as practise and more or less
of a joke. and they, have kindly
hand-out coming to them for going out
to Punahou and giving the boys a
practise.
Akina and Ordenstein both pitched
wei! for the college. Each of them
had new box of Pandora pillules,
which they handed out over the plate
in great shape, and made a hit with
the college rooters. Fraser's first APP
pearance at first base was ten-strike
for the kiddo and he stopped all the
hot ones and never fooled a throw
from pitcher once. 1t looks as though
he would hold down the position and
hold it well during the coming inter
scholastic baseball season.
The officia1 score was as follows:
