Nebraska Is to be punished for the disre-
spectful manner in which II has treated Mr..
Bryan and other aspiring members OF his
family. Not long ago the distinguished
tribune Of the people threatened to move
his domicile to Texas, where there seemed
TO be a fair chance Of capturing a sena-
torial toga and a nice income. The objec-
lions Of Nebraska did not deter him from
carrying out his threat, but the objections
of Senator Joe Bailey of protected raw
materials fame did. Everything seems
to happen just wrong when Mr.. Bryan
wants an office.
However, such an ambitious and gifted
family as that Of the Nebraskan Is not to
be defeated through mere disaster to the
head Of the family. Not a bit Of It. II the
son has refused to step to the fore, there is
still a daughter to be considered, who, being
now unburdened by matrimonial ties, feels
that she must step into her fathers po-
litical shoes and see II she can not traipse
about in them better than he did. 1t is
proposed hat she offer for congress from
Colorado, in which state she has a legal
residence. We do not know Of any reason
why she should not offer as a candidate,
nor any particular reason why she should,
except, perhaps, that Augusta will consider
II an act OF disoourtesy toward the Au-
gusta woman who offered for a similar
office earlier in the year.
Women are as good as men in Colorado
In other states they are better. Graf in
Denver has not been able to accomplish
any more since women became voters than
II did before that time, which may be taken
as q good omen 1t Is true that several
families were almost broken up by husband
and wife being opposing candidates for the
same office, but calm consideration howed
that the income would be in the family no
matter what the result OF the election. and

The latest scheme of the Princess

Gospel Of Good van In Acts and
words.
Baltimore American.
At the Universallst church At Portland.
Ore. Mr.. Taft preached the gospel OF
good will In religion, and In his previous
address In the Mormon tabernacle he
showed that he was ready for any pull
pit, Catholic, Protestant or Jewish He has,
evidently entered upon the mission OF dis
seminating, so far as he Is able. the feeling
of community Of interest among thi
churches anent the important subject
national patriotism. Mr.. Taft does nd
affect TO pronounce upon denomination
claims and will not do so. as the countfA
has no UNCONVENTIONAL affiliations. tn
religion Of America is the religion OF thS
broadest and sweetest helpfutness, in the
finest spirit of liberation and moral pro-
motion. Loyalty to God and fidelity to
country are complemental articles OF a
common faith. II is Important for denoml-
nations to advance the truth as they see
II, but not at the expense of others who
believe as ardently that they hold an i'm
portant dispensation of the things essen
tial to the deeper interests and joys Of
mankind.
The elimination Of demarking and con-
troversial interests is promotive OF the
unity OF the American people. Inc coun-
try owes it's existence and It's history to
its ability to sweep out Of It's path the
prejudice that hampered the countries OF
the Old World. Thus Il swept from its
path religious and political intolerance, It
emancipated itself from race intolerance
with the noble pronouncement Of Presi-
dent Lincoln, and this. being the most re-
cent OF its broad human conquests, Is the
least fixed in the national character.
Altruism was the text word of Mr.. Taft,
and this is the truest word for the keying
Of the efforts OF individuals, communities
and nations. The only worthy END OF ef-
fort is to uplift and to aid, and this is
true in the religious as well as In the poli-
tical sphere of life's interests. No man can
afford to do aught that shall hinder the
freest expression OF the individuality OF
another as long as that expression is
within the bounds of common rights and
the common liberties that Americans stand
for. Such a doctrine coming from the chief
magistrate Of the country contains fine
germ thought. | vt.

Annles of Gold.

Westerners producing fortunes from
the apple are putting to shame eastern
farmers, who have gradually aban-
doned their orchards on the plea that
there is no longer any money in the
fruit. Never before we're marketable
apples in such demand, and eve did
they bring better prices. The death
of the eastern orchards and the rise
Of those In the west is the old case Of
neglect as opposed to thrift. In New
England and adjacent states the or
chard has been left to shift for itself
until It ran down and the decadent
fruit was crowded out Of the market
by the finer product of the aggressive
orchardist.
An object lesson in what can be
done with apples is the Ease of the
northwestern youth who is paying his
way through college from the income
of one row Of trees in his fathers or
chard and laying up a bank balance
besides. The country has abundant
land suitable for fruit culture that can
be obtained for a few dollars an acre,
and the condition OF the market war
rants the live youths engaging in the
enterprise. Industry among the trees
will achieve success, and careful at
tention to scientific oreharding will
build a fortune. The apple has come
into it's own and is truly a modern
fruit Of gold.

The Irrieatinp HOusekeeper.

Joy to the world, the final word in
simplihed housekeeping has come.
Irrigation is that word, and henceforth
the housewife may Danish broom and
buster, mop and pail, and, armed with
the gentle and succulent garden hose,
make glad and rosy that desert that
was once her arid broom-ridden soul.
This is no abstract dream, but a con-
crete realization. Utilizing this sub
stance which, as Mr.. Edison says,

architectural genius Of the age has
evolved his nodded house which stands
as a sort of apotheosis Of the early
cave-dwelling days, when every wall
was stone and there was never a place
to drive a nail.
The model modern concrete house
is to have no square corners to harbor
dirt; oma has made her last digs
with broomcorn into angles; rounded
corners will afford the dirt no place to
hide it's face. The bracketing Of all
fixtures out from the walls and the
establishment Of no fixtures except
metal, will enable the housewife, hav-
ing conveyed the portable furniture
from the room. to turn on the hose
and flush all the walls, the ceiling and
the floor, and combine in this n act
all the old drudgeries of sweeping and
busting and hopping, with the same
ease and grace with which she would
sprinkle her flower beds.
Nor is this readiness Of irrigation
the only revelation of happiness. Be

WORLD TRADE REvIVING.
widespread Upward swing Succeeds
Depression.

Depression.
New York Press.
Latest trade reports indicate that HE
worldwide business depression OF recent
times has been succeeded by an upward
swing Of both range and power. For the
first six months OF 1909, as compared with
the corresponding period last year, Ger
many's foreign merchandise trade increased
some slxty-two and one-half millions. The
exports were $76s, O69. 1856. a gain OF S22, s6s, AGO.
the imports $sSl, 1885, T2, a gain of $40, 116, $3.50.
An interesting feature of this foreign trade
Is that Germany has largely decreased its
receipts of wheat and wheat flour, and has
largely increased Its exports Of both. Like.
wise, imports Of iron show a decrease OF
Y, 7S9 tons, but exports show an increase OF
46, $40 tons. There was a gain in pig iron
production of 2l2,76S tons. with a total of
$3.50, 4Se, the largest in the history OF the
Industry, with the exception of the first
six months of 1907, when there were about
1907 900 tons more. ...-u,
Official British returns give an increase
In Imports for August of $27,5 S5, SIT, as COM
pared with 1908. OF this Increase more than
81, 0Oo,OO0 was in food and drink, flour and
grain accounting for S15, 900, 900. Exports of
manufactures increased more than $40, OOO,-
900. cotton fabrics nearly SO, 5000 900 and
WOODEN FABRICS nearly 1910, 900.
Canada's imports, Of merchandise for Au-
gust gained more than ST. 900, 900, while Its
exports showed an increase Of 1925, 900. For
the first five months Of the fiscal year the
total trade Of the Dominion was $247, 7SS, 1856,
a gain of more than $780, 900, 900. Imports in
creased $29, sec, 900; exports Of domestic
products, $3.50, OOO; exports Of foreign prod
ucts, 81, 1O0,0 900.
Canada's grain crop prospects are ex-
ceedingly fine. The estimates for this year
are: Wheat, 16s. 1885, 900 bushels, or 43, 6g6, 900
more than last year; oats, S54,919,OOO, a gain
Of S5,OOO,0O0; barley, 56, 49, 900, a gain of
100000 All the provinces except Ontario
report material gains in yield of the various
crops. The area sown in wheat last year
was S,T0S, 56S acres; this year, 3,9S9,4s6,
The foregoing nations being the principal
foreign customers Of the United States,
r~eviving activity with them will naturally
be reflected in still larger dealings with US.

TRACK wALKING FATALITIEs.
Appalling and utterly Needless Loss
of Life.
indianapolis News.

Indianapolis News.
Figures compiled by the Interstate Com
meTce commission show that fifteen per-
sons a day, on the average, are killed while
trespassing on the right-of-way of railroads
in this country. n as the ratio is in
creasing IT is probable that the current
years total viii amount to more than
5000. This is an appalling and utterly
needless loss Of life. The remedy is for
people TO keep off Of the railroads right
of-way, as Is generally required by law.
Such rights-of-way are private property,
and those who enter them without permis-
sion, and. in deed. often In the face OF
conspicuousiy posted warnings. are tres
passers In the full sense OF the word. All
too often this trespass brings its
punishment in the form OF death or MAIN
ing for life. A fine imposed BY law would
doubtless do something 70 break the habit.
The temptation to walk railroad tracks is
great to those who must 80 afoot. as the
tracks generally afford not only a dry high
way. but usually the shortest routes. With
the constantly increasing number OF Ia
%talities. however, II Is evident that some
effective action should be taken 10 pro-
teot venturesome people against their own
bad judgment. and 70 this end the larger
railroads have begun a vigorous campaign.
which Il IL hoped will be supplemented BY
the authority OF the officers OF the law.

Facing the Music.

There is a defiant courage that men
will be ready to applaud in the atti-
tude of the candidate in an eastern
city who refused to withdraw from the
race for public office because his OPP
ponents were raking up an ofense Of
his youth. His admission Of his early
disgrace strengthened his plea for the
consideration of his later years of
probity and he won faith by facing the
music instead of hiding his head in
retirement.
Living down a bad reputation Is a
constant call upon the fbers Of a man,
but suddenly confronting a recall Of
a specter of the past requires a mass
ing of all ones forces for boldness.
The man who does not finch from the
black marks of his record may not
win the prize for which he strives, but
he will achieve an inner control and
a moral victory that is greater than
taking a city.
The curse of the follies of youth lies
not in the fact that they rear their
heads in later life so much as that
when they do thus reappear many of
their Victims are prone to dodge,
Since the confessions of Rousseau,
mankind has had a reader forgiveness
for the person who admitted his errors
and faced the music than for the
skulker who sought to cover them
with the dust Of years. Rising above
disgrace is as great a manifestation of
valor as the world ever requires OF
