INDIAN SUMMER.

w. D. Nesbit, in Chicago Post.
It hushed the sound OF winters hosts, Of
winters trumpet shrill,
The drums that thrummed in winters
van all suddenly grew still, =
For from the south the breezes ran and
shook the flaming leaves,
n crooned a chord Of dulcetness below
the vine-clad eavesi
They brought a thousand mingled scents
of pungent mint and musk,
And %springtlme echoed through the day
from crystal dawn to dusk
A drowsy haze across the west that CLEANS
with shifting hues,
A jeweled sky that glimmers with the
rarest turquoise blues,
And woods that are a fairyland Of scarlet
and of gold,
blooms of what they hold,
And marching stars that swing as lamps
as twilight idles on,
While moonlight silYers all the world from
dreaming dusk to dawn.
The songs Of Indian summertime-they
murmur in the heart,
Attuned to leaves and hills n sky OF
which they are a part
The haif-heard minor melodies that hint
of throbbinR tones,
And yet elude the eager grasp-the songs
which no one owns,
But which the wind and sun and all the
woods and meadows weave
OF all the charm and softness from the
silent dawn to eve.
It hushed the sound of winters hosts,
and winters drumming drums,
Fell silent when the word went fortht
Now Indian summer comes
And then she came, a dusky maid, a god
Her arms a-heap with marvel-dusks, a.
heap with marvel-dawns;
And 60 her spell is on cur hearts and
holds us overlong.
with every dawn a miracle and every
dusk a song.

GREATEST YEAR FOR FARMERS.
Another salute to of Real
Wealth.
Cincinnati Enquirer.

Another salute to Producers of Real
Wealth.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
This country has had a series of farmers
years-indeed, since the beginning Of the
twentieth century every year has been on
Of profit to the Experimentation this pres
ent year bids fair to be the greatest Of all
in the wealth which 1t brings to the
farmer.
Nearly every article produced is in great
demand and brings extraordinarily high
prices. Wheat seems to be in quantities
well up to our largest yields and is bring
ing a price for above the average. Corn
is said by some parties who estimate crops
to have broken all records in production,
yet the values per bushe are keeping
far above the prices prevailing in even
years Of average crop in the past. Cotton
is piling surplus cash into the pockets Of
the planters in a surprising manner and
bringing cash or the equivalents Of cash
from foreign lands to our own in most
gratifying amounts.
And the farmers are selling freely their
holdings, and this rapid transformation Of
commodities into cash that is going on in
every portion of this nation at this time
is bound to produce commercial and manu-
H~AN AA6 AN5hANS NioN va CNAARoO SNNAg
thing known in such affairs. All the prod
Lcts of the field ana the farm are today
the equivalents Of cash wherever offered.
The outside world is taking the largest
portions of our productions that 1t ever
absorbed. California, Oregon. Washington,
Idaho and Montana are shipping to the
orient. to Europe and to New Zealand and
Australia many millions of dollars worth
Of their fruits and fruit products, in addi-
ton to the great stores of grain.
The Atlantic ports from Baltimore south
and clean around the gulf coast to Mexi-
cos border all are showing great increases
in the yalue of their exports, and from
that section these exports are those of the
field, the farm and the plantation. Every
cultivated area, large or small, east, west
north and south is today producing more
value to the acre than ever in the history
Of the country.
The cash that pays for that production
was never so widely nor so plentifully dis
tributed as 1t is this year. The prosperity
of the farmer creates and maintains the
prosperity Of the republic.

What lasting consequences will President
Taft's trip bring for the country? This is
an interesting question, but the answer to
1t can be given with more confidence after
congress meets than is possible now. Some
of the presidential tours nave had impor-
tant results, When, in 1917, shortly after
his first inauguration, Monroe started on
the Journey which took him through the
middle states, New England and the west,
the Boston Sentinel invented the phrase,
the ERA Of good feeling" which has been
associated with his eight years in office.
Undoubtedly his trip aided in breaking
down the barriers Of sectional prejudice
against the perils of which Washington, in
his farewell address a score Of years ear
lier, had warned the country.
JacksOn's tour through the eastern
states, early in his second term, in 1898.
diminished a little OF the distrust which
New England had held for him, and gained
for him the degree of doctor OF laws from
Harvard university. In his Swing round
the circle" a phrase which he invented, in
1866, accompanied by Seward, Grant, Far
ragut and other notables, President John
son said some OF the things which were
used against him when he was impeached
by the house and tried by the senate in
1858. Garfield, when starting on a trip in
1881. and Mckinley, when near the close
OF a tour in 1901, had their careers cut
short by assassIns, and thus, for the mo-
ment, at least, altered the current of his
tory. BY their trips, Arthur, Cleveland
and Harrison made friends for themselves
and their respective parties.

CALLS 1T A HOPEFUL AUGURY.

the Peerless One.
Brooklyn Eagle.
When Norman e. Mack says, II do not
believe that Bryan will be the nexa demo-
cratic candidate for the presidency" he
may be expressing a feeling common to
most democrats; yet his words have a
peculiar Significance for his fellow party
men in Erie county. Mr.. Mack is chair
man Of the democratic national committee.
He holds that place because In the last
campaign he was persona grata to Mr..
Bryan. He has been the leader of what may
be called radical democracy in his county
for many years. With more schooling and
less calm than Mr.. Corners, he has been
Just es unsatisfactory to the old-tlme
Cleveland democrats of Buffalo, whose
ideals have been much higher than their
hope of controlling primaries.
Therefore, It is a hopeful augury for
democracy that Mr.. Mack, though. of
course, uncommitted to any one candidate,
seems to be turning with hope to Judson
Harmon, tho democratic governor of Ohio,
whom Mr.. Cleveland trusted, and on whom
all wings of the party might be able to
unite. Mr.. Macks utterance is a straw
which shows which way the wind is blow
ing.

the mental reservation among naval
