ject, especially on an occasion when
5000 representative teachers gather
here, said DIR. H. E.Dearholt, the new
executive secretary of the association.
'They are most valuable and loyal aid
in this fight.
The schools of the state are especial
ly interested in the sale of Christmas
stamps to raise funds, penny by penny,
to carry on the great work which
since last fall has made Wisconsin
famous the world over. State Supt
Cary has placed the entire school sys-
tenn at the disposal of the association
and is personally assisting with en-
thusiasm.
Stanley A. Douglas, manager of the
Christmas stamp campaign, which
opens Nov. 20 and ends Dec 81, needs
local managers in many of the small
cities and villages. eff we are to sue
ceed in 5000, 600 stamps this fall, we
must, we must reach every person,
and this can be done only by having a
leader in each community" Head
quarters are at All Goldsmith building,
Milwaukee, where everybody is well
come.

ELECTIONS IN
SOME STATES
Many Surprises Come i'm "Off-Year''
Elections What do
They Indicate?

Several states of the Union held cleo
tions this week, and while the results
are not what was to be expected, they
show an increasing tendency to indie
pendent voting, instead of "voting it
straight.
Gaynor, the democratic candidate for
mayor OF New York, was elected by
5000 plurality over Barnard. The fu-
sion or anti-Tammany party elected the
balance of the ticket.
In Indfana the democrats were victor
ious in the majority of the municipal
contests. In most cases the republican
candidates were campaigning on a law
and order platform.
Republican majorities in Massachu-
setts were greatly reduced over two
years ago.
The Republicans carried Nebraska,
electing ali three candidates for su-
preme justice by pluralities upward of
1000. Two years ago the democratic
state ticket was elected and Bryan
given handsome majority.
In San Francisco Heney was turned
down for district attorney, Fickert, the
union labor candidate, receiving 13, 600
more votes. The balance of the union
labor ticket was elected.
Tom L. Johnson was defeated for
reelection as mayor of Cleveland, o.,
by 1000 votes. 1t was his fifth mayor
atty campaign.
In New Jersey and Rhode Island few
changes were made by the elections.
Kentucky returned to the democratic
fold, the election being attended by
much rioting.
The republicans carried Pennsylvania
and the city of Philadelphia by large
majorities.

EASTERN STARS
HALLOWEEN PARTY
Large Number OF Visitors are Enter
tanned at Corbeft Home Last
Friday Evening

Was it Espooky" at Robert Corbett' s
Friday night? Well, rather! The
ladies of the Eastern Star lodge spared
no pains in making it go, and they were
rewarded for their efforts, the proceeds
amounting to $24.
Upon entering the door-yard, the un-
suspecting victims were greeted by
two ghosts, who noislessly escorted
them to the front door upon which
was a placard bearing this inscription;
MEOW three times" AS it was nee
essary to give the sign before one
could enter the 'House of Mystery, !"
some terrible attempts were made to
gain admittance without giving the re-
quired sign, but all to no avail.
Ghosts and witches were stationed at
nearly every door ia the house, to di-
rect people to the "Infernal Regions, ;"
the Fortune Teller, Palm Reader, Can
dy Booth etc. In the basement, where
the "Old Man himself was high mo-
ul, lluilS a ohClCCOIl, AlllS Ny
line from the ceiling Several ladies
were seen to gaze at 'that awful thing
(as they expressed it) with something
like grim terror in their countenances,
but upon second thought they smiled
away the look. Imps in abundance
made life miserable for any couple
who ventured down the stairs together.
Wouldn't it be awfully nice if lemonade
was to be served to the erring ones in
their future state? That's what every
body got who went down into the In
ferno"
About $50 supper was served, and
that supper was there, too.
If anyone present did not have a good
time, it was his own fault, as every
thing possible was done to help people
enjoy themselves.

Therefore the tariff will not be
treated as a great public meas
ure, but as a congerie Of jobs. That
in its origin, its purpose. and its de-
velopment, is what it is. The pres.
ent majority of the Ways and
Means Committee has shown some
disposition to handle it in the pub
lie interest, but it cannot escape
the tyranny of custom, based on
greedy and organized private inter-
ests. That tyranny can be broken
down only by the force of an intel
ligent, persistent, widespread public
sentiment, effectively expressed by
merchants throughout the country.
We ask you therefore to write
your views on this subject to-day

Congress and to your Senator This

Sorry!

There is much that makes me sorry
as Journey down lifeS way,
And seem to see more pathoS in
poor human lives each day.
I'm sorry for the strong, brave men
who shield the weak from HARM
But who in their own troubled
hours finds no protecting arm.
I'm sorry for the victors, who have
reached success, to stand
AS targets for the arrows shot by
enviOus failures hand.
I'm sorry for the generous hearts
who freely shared their wine.
But drink alone the gall of tears in
fortunes drear decline.
I'm sorry for the souls who build
their own flames funeral pyre.
Derided by the scornful throng like
ice deriding fire.
I'm sorry for the Conquering ones,
who know not sins defent,
But daily tread fierce desire meath
Scorched and bleeding feet,
I'm sorry for the anguiShed hearts
that break with passions strain
But I'm sorrier for the poor, starved
souls that never knew loves pain,
Who hunger on through barren
years not tasting joys they crave,
For Sadder far is such a lot than
weeping DER a grave.
I'm sorry for the souls that come
unwelcOmed into birth,
I'm sorry for the unloved old who
cumber up the earth,
I'm sorry for the suffering poor in
life's great maelstrom hurled:
In truth I'm sorry for them all who
make this aching world.
But underneath whate'er seems sad
and is not understood.
know there lies, hid from our
sight, mighty germ of good.
And this belief stands firm by me,
my sermon, motto, text -
The sorriest things in this life will
seem erandest in the next.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
