tween conservation and dissipation. be-
tween the rightful duty Of the people
and the wrongful desire of q few.
Ballinger, masquefading - m up
holder Of the letter Of the law, appar-
emily is trying to neutralize the work
of conservation by restoring to private
exploitation areas already withdrawn
for the express purpose of safeguarding
the public interest.
Pinchot stands as the champion of
the people in opposing this new policy
at Washington. He says truly that
right construction of the law works,
and must work. in the vast majority of
cases, for the benefit of the men who
can hire the best lawyers and have the
sources of influence in law making at
their command. Strict construction
necessarily favors the great interests
as against the people. and in the long
run cannot do otherwise. Wise execu-
ton of the law must consider what the
law ought to accomplish for the general
good"
Conservation is no faddish movement
by a few enthusiasts---it is a national
policy which declares the greatest good
and the greatest good for the greatest
number, and that means the greatest
number of plain American citizens.
Conservation is no vogue ''ism'---it
simply spells foresight and intelligence
IN handling the peoples rights, in the
administration of public waters and
forests. 1t is the duty of the people s
official servant to defend the people s
manifest rights.
That is conservation; and that is
what Clifford Pinchot stands for---the
spirit as well as the letter of the law
enlightened sentiment as opposed to
individual greed.
Allah be praised for the man who in
terprets the spirit of the law, and is
spired by considerations above mere
material return---we need him sorely ir

Some of the leading dailies and some
weeklies that pattern after them, are
talking about the decline of party spirit
and of party organizations. We have
had political parties ever since the es
tablishment. Names have changed
but there has always been two leading
parties in the United States, with :
continuity in their ideas. The republi
can party has stood in a general way
for the ideas of Alexander Hamilton
its principal points being strong cen
tral government and protective tariff
and these ideas have been the backbone
of the party, whether it was called re
publican or whig. The opposition have
always devocated the Independent
rights of the state. have been in favor
of restricting the powers of the genera
government and consequently have al,
ways been in favor of resisting doubt

parties have always been check upor

Logan county high school this week
has enrolled 1873 pupils. This is more
than has ever been in attendance at
any one time in previous years. There
was probably never a more promising
group of high school pupils anywhere
and it is pity Logan county does not
afford better accommodations Many
pupils have to set two on seat, meant
for one, and all pupils have to study
right among school-mates who are in
class recitation. Teachers are thus
put to disadvantage for obtaining con-
centrated attention in class and pupils
necessarily have their study hours in
terrupted. Logan county should take
steps at once to relieve the crowded
condition by another year. Several
young people of the high school, boys
and girls, desire places where thoy can
obtain work to meet part or all of their
living expenses. Persons who can give
such employment will confer a favor
by notifying the principal. Sterling

All the fairs have suffered great
falling off in the interest taken in
them. One reason is that there is not
enough premiums paid for the most
valuable stock and agricultural and
mechanical interests, but on the other
hand the peoples money is squandered
by paying large premiums for trottlng,
pacing and running horses, something
that benefits no one, not even the one
who gets the most of the money. The
time and money invested in training
horses to go at gait that never has
been of any benefit to the human fam
ily amounts to more than we get out OF
it. An old blind mare that will raise
good, everyday draft or common drlv-
ing horse, hitched to plow with
bow-legged, shaggy bearded farmer
behind her, should be more entitled to
the premiums. Field and Farm.

begun to burn in earliest youth. Pedro

At last after many years Pedro Guiccfs
dream had come true. He found himself
on board a steamer bound for Naples.
Pedro had come to America hoping to
gain fortune and then to return to Italy,
wed one of her dusky daughters and bask
away the rest of his life in the lazy sun
of his native land.
Like Caesar, he had come, he had seen,
he had succeeded. He had, by unceasing
attention to his banana business, by cry
ing his wares assidiously early and late
and by unfailing politeness to his Gus
toners, amassed a fortune.
Now, dressed in his shiny brown suit
a new pair of shoes and new black nat
he sat on the bench on the steerage dock
of the steamer dreaming of the sunny
land to which he was going.
Yes, Pedro had succeeded. His friends
would rejoice with him and his enemies
would be stricken sorely with envy. He
would be the talk of that part of Naples
in which he had been born and In which
he had grown up like a weed.
Still Pedro was not happy.
A wise man of Oriental race said "A
man without a wife is but half a man"
Pedro was but half a man. Grey was
already visible among his black curls;
wrinkles were plentiful in his healthy
had lived life of anticipation, of prepar-
alton. 81 will get the money first and
then it will be easy to get a wife," he
had said. Now he had the money and
his. heart was longing for that dream
which had been the guiding star of his
life.
Seated on the bench, smoking his pipe,
Pedro was thinking of the home coming.
The ship was two days out of New York
The weather was fine and Pedro had
nearly fallen asleep when a child's voice
reused him. 1t was a sweetN cheerful
voice and it spoke in italian. He looked
toward a little girl who was leaning on
the lap of a woman in black seated at q
short distance.
Something in the child's voice reused
memories in Pedro's breast, memories of
days when he was a gay and care-free
youth in far-off Naples, when flashing,
dark, maiden eyes looked into his and
when his thoughts were not turned to
the serious thing of earning living.
He took his pipe from his mouth and
listened while his heart beat faster. He
looked with all the fire Of his eyes reused
again. And at that moment the woman
turned her head.
Flee, We thoughts Of weaftn; be gone,
spectres of worldly preference; avaunt,
dreams of fame. For love, who Is
greater than you all, is here. Pedro was
in that moment translated to his first
youth. Time was not. Nothing had been
since 20 years before when, lad Of 20,
he had loved the fair Marie. Her father
had not looked with favor on his suit
and had commanded her to marry anoth-
er. It was following this that Pedro had
gone to America.
Twenty years had wrought a change in
her. But still her hair was black and
still her face had all those lineaments
which he had loved and worshiped all
| these years. She looked to him almost
| like that faded old photograph which
even now was preserved in corner OF
his vaise.
If anyone thinks they were too old to
blush let him realize right now his error,

A Fine Investment of Love

Dear Miss Thomas: WIN you please let me
in this windy nieht for a little chat with
members OF the dear Household. I want to
tell the sisters of my boy. As we had no
children of our own we have adopted one. His
mother died when he was four months old
his father gave the helpless little fellow to
his grandmother; she being old and not able
20 care for even herself, brought him to us
when he seven months old. We took the
poor little fellow sick and in a pitiful condi-
ton. We had time for a while. but now we
are getting pay every day in pleasure. He is
five years old and one OF the most affection
ate children you ever He says he loves
everybody but loves papa and mamma best.

cast off children and raise them to make use

and hope the Lord will spare him to us and
us to him to him make a useful man.

fifths OF the additions to our churches come
from the Sunday schools. Just think Of this
