ChoIera-Frightened Coming.

A new cause for alarm from the same
source to which we have referred in
the last few days, is found in a de-
spatch from Paris. This said that pri-
waite aGvices from Italy assert that
Italian emigrants from the cholera in
fected districts are being embarked
from Genoa for America, their original
starting point being concealed. An
other despatch of the same date from
Rome says that nearly one Thousand
persons have died of Asiatic cholera
in the Naples district in the last four
weeks. The official fiction regarding
the disease has been dispelled. Daily
bulletins are now issued in Naples by
the health authorities giving the num-
Der of cases and deaths each day
Sixty-seven deaths were reported in "a
hours.
Rome also admits four cases of true
cholera and one death, but says NO
alarm seems to be felt there In Sicily,
the peasants are resisting sanitary Of
ficials. 100000 persons of the better
classes have lied from Naples and vi
cinity since August. In that time, of
fetal reports show that 80, 600 tickets
out of Naples have been sold.
This is an uneXampled exodus, and
while the Naples authorities are said
to be almost inert. it seems that Amer
lean authorities, where this exodus
from Italy is most apt to be deposited
upon American soil, should be exceed
ingly alert

Taft's Saskatchewan Course.

The daily conferences of the Pres
ident and his official family give re-
newed assurance that Mr.. Taft does
not intend to seek a single advantage

of duty he has outlined for himself
in order to obtain a renomina ton for

will give square deal to the railroads
| that he is going to see that they get
it. This declaration was called forth
by the visit of labor leader who call
ed upon Mr.. Taft relative to the pro-
posed increase of freight rates. This
| labor man had reached the conclusion
that the proposed increases were RICH.
and should be allowed, and unless
| they were made the railroads would be

case labor would be the first to suffer
But this is not what we started out
TO talk about. AS result of the cab
met sessions, it was announced Tues
day that President Taft would soon is
sue an order placing approximatel,
Noo0 assistant postmasters in the
United States under the protection OF
the civil service law, and taking them
entirely out of politics. 1t is also said
that the President will recommend
to Congress, this fall. that all second
and third class postmasters be placed
under the civil service rules.
This was the recommendation ot

establishment of homes upon the
land, is a higher use than forest use, we
are confronted with the fact that al
though the land may be taken by the
settler with the intention of establish
ing his home upon it, if the value of
the understandable timber on the land
is greater than the value of the land
l'for agricultural purposes, the chances
are in favor of it's passing into the
hands of the sawmill men or large
| owners of timber lands instead of be-
ing retained by the. original settler and
used for agricultural purposes
| 1t is not the purpose of the Agri-
| cultural Department to open all the
cultivable timberlands to entry imme-
diately upon the removal of the tim
Der in excess of an amount equal to
the agricultural value of the land, I'M
less it is evident that the land will be
permanently more valuable for agri-
cultural use than for forest purposes !;
says Mr.. Potter. The profigate policy
of disposal of public lands must be
ended, and the course mapped out by
the associate forester is only one of
those which tend to curtail the reck-
less use of lands while they are new
and their early abandonment by those
who first claimed them for homes, who
then go on to new fields to skim the
cream from another section of virgin
soil. In the end they must come back
to areas that have been abandoned
and recklessly misused, and coax the
lanl back to condition to provide for
the settlers who retake them. There
are yet millions of acres to be thus
RECLAIMED, and Maine herself has large
number of unoccupied farms which we
predict will at some not far distant
day support happy families.

The Killing Pace.

Through all the year he tolls away
And saves a little day by day.
Through self denial;
His fingers are bedaubed with ink.
And often he has cause to think
That life's a trial.
He sadly turns from pleasures which
Are only for the idle rich
And for the lucky:
He might sometimes bewail his lot
To her who shares it. We're he not
Almighty plucky.
His hours are long. he finds it hard
To win his fellow-man's regard.
Without some splurging;
He's only idle when he sleeps:
Necessity ignobly keeps
Forever urging.
His trousers sag around the knees.
His WhiSkerS f1utter in the breeze,
His look is seedy:
He always wears a last years hat.
His general makeup is that
Shown by the needy.

And sweet contentment gladly find

IF he could get his wife to try
To quit endeaVoring to vie
