cHkNGE NOTED.

THEY do not do the things they did
Il When YOU and 1 were young.
The world IS run on different lines,
And different songs are sung.
The boys got busy with the chores.
The daughfe-s MIXED the COW
Today they scoff at things like that,
For we're back numbers now.
Then the ambition OF a youth
AS he became man
Was to secure patch Of ground
And on the good old plan
To raise a family of his own
And thus TO serve the state
While bringing blessings TO himself.
But that is out OF date.
The girl looked forward TO the time
When she could be a wife.
Have little children and nome
And lead a useful lie.
RI She didn't want to Join club
And run the ship Of state.
You see how far behind the times
We are and out of date.
The boys must all be lawyers now
Or doctors. or what not.
The girls must be stenographers.
They scorn the humble cot
For If they wed they move into
A new steam heated fat.
Things are not as they used TO DO
You may be sure of that.

"My wife can't sing
Cant sing?" echoed Jones cheerily.
'rBut in that case 1 should have said
you were to be congratulated"
That's not the trouble" responded

DE Almonds CAREER.
aoted Missouri Congressman Who Re-
Gently Died a HERDS Death.

Gently Died HERDS Death.
Representative David Albaugh De
Almond of the Sixth Missouri district,
who recently died the death of hero
in a vain effort to save the life of his
little grandson in a fire caused by cross
ed wires that destroyed his home in
Butler, Mo-, was one of the best known
men in congress. not only because of
his long service. but because of his
character and talents. His death takes
from the Democratic side its best sea-
soned veteran In acknowledged leader
ship. Only four men had served long
er continuously than De Almond, and
all of them are Republicans-Cannon.
Bingham, Payne and Dalzell. On the
Democratic side there were none of
longer service than De Almond and
only two-Livingston of Georgia and
Jones of Virginia-who served as long.
De Almond was probably the fore
most parliamentarian on the Demo
cratic side of the chamber. The fact
that the Democratic floor leadership
never went to him was accounted for
by the fact that, despite his signal abi-
ity and long service, he had an ex-
ceedingly caustic tongue and spared
nobody when he laid about him to
chastise friend or foe. Democrat or
Republican. He had many admirers.
but, because Of his bitterness, not so
many friends.
Mr.. De Almond was the son Of a
locomotive engineer. He was born at
Duncansville, near Altoona, Pa, In
1874, was brought up on a farm. re-
cetved common school education, at
tended an academy ut Hollidaysburg
and early in life went to Missouri.
Before coming to congress De Ar
mopd had been a state senator and

Is 1t not an important function of the
ordinary citizen to interest himself in
polttics-really in politics, we mean,
and not merely in voting obediently or
otherwise at elections? Why is it
not? Nobody can expect much of poll
tics as long as politics remains the
chief concern of a few men who prac-
tfcally make it a business adjunct,
While the great majority of their fell
lows have no finger in the pie and
affect to regard it all as a bother. The
citizen cannot dodge or shift this func-
ton, any more than he can escape any
other incident of his citizenship; and
If he neglects to perform this part of
his duty, he is simply hurting himself
by letting somebody else use him as Il
pawn. One may abdicate his right to
exercise any voice in the matter, but
one cannot by so doing avoid the fact
that the matter still affects him That,
however, is just what most men do
not see. They seem to feel that poll
tics is separate profession for the
coterie of men interested in it. Just as
law, or medicine is. And they do not
wake up to the fact that In reality it
is profession in which every man IN
a community has an equal stake, 20
which he has to pay. Most of
us are content to do our own
business, let somebody else who has
more time take out the public BUSH
ness for us, and then pay the bills
with a grimace. All of which is a
very poor idea of American citizen

The promise by President Taft to
appoint to the United States supreme
bench, to succeed the late Justice
Peckham, Horace II. Lurton of Ten
nessee, a democrat, is in line with the
arguments advanced by The Argus for
the election of Hon. George A Cooke
to succeed the late Justice Guy c..
Scott on the Illinois supreme bench.
President Taft, who himself has long
served on the bench. appreciates the
evils that might result if the courts
were Of one political complexion.

During the long winter months it
will be good idea for any man who
