One of the greatest achievements of
the Taft administration was the late
passage by congress of the government
postal savings law, a measure the COM
mon citizens of the country have pc
titioned for these many years. and one
of the things promised in the last re-
publican national platform and one of
the recommendation President Taft
submitted to congress. Only three
senators elected as republicans to the
national congress, La Toilette, Cum
Minis and Bristow--votedwl with the demo-
Gratis to defeat this piece of republican
legislation.

The TRAGEDY OF POVERTY


The Literary Digest Of May 18th con-
tains two pictures and short foot note
that brings most powerfully to mind the
deep tragedy that is often seen in that
most unfortunate union of poverty and
old age. The pictures represent an at
tempt to take a census at night Of the
homeless poor who sleep on the benches
in the parks, in New York City. In
that city the gentleman Mr.. Falch who
did that work, says about Eve hundred
of these people, largely old men were
found. He says his work was an edu-
cation in human nature, and that it
drew so on his sympathies, that it cost
him more than his salary. Some of the
desperate cases of old men shivering in
the cold night air so moved him, that
he had to put his hand III his pocket and
slip each, enough to make him feel bet
ter for a few hours. Mr.. Flack says:
81 was certainly surprised at what /
found. Why do you know nearly nine
ty per cent of those we found seemed
to be men who had seen better i.ys =
men whose tone and talk indicated
plainly that they had once associated
with persons of some education and had
been in a social status considerably
above the lowest. Ten per cent it
seemed to me-not more than that
were Of the rough type.
Two leading thoughts came to us
from these pictures and the words of
Mr.. Flack:
/. What. wretched sense of desola-
ton and despair must come to an old
man of natural refinement of mind, as
he sits lone and deserted of kindred,
shiveringly striving amid such poverty
of soul and body to WOO little slecp to
his tired eyelids. How such picture
discloses the cruel neglect maybe of
children, the loss of wife and home, the
gloom Of a most sad old age.
2. The duty Of preparing in our
youth and strength for the support of
our old age. AS we look about us we
see so many among the laboring and
professional classes in particular, who
show no effort to lay up store for a
rainy day. They are living for the
present alone. Maybe good share of
what they earn goes for drink, or for a
momentary qualification in so-called so
ciety. What will society or the saloon
do for us after we have wasted our life
and earnings upon them? They viii
turn us over to the poor house. Every
man and woman should make it rigid
rule of life to live for their old age, not
for the present. IL they have but a
small income, lay up little Of that
each year in some way so that there
shall be something to fall back on when
1.-The night cometh wherein no man can
work.
Another thought. Keep out of the
big cities. The country is thousand
times as kind to the poor as are the
crowded cities. No such picture Of
wretched desolation and suffering can
be found in our small villages or among
the farmers. There isnot community
of farmers in the land but who would
be ashamed to know that family was
suffering from the necessaries of life
in its midst. They would not suffer
long. The deep and narrowing tragedy
of poverty and suffering that our cities
present, happily we know nothing of it
in the country; and we ought to thank
God for it and stay where we may es-
cape it, for no man knoweth what may
befall him. Governor Hoard.

muckraker has lead the pSblic 10 mis-

was to be wruug from congress. The

the state convention of the party gave
the heartiest Enforcement to President
Taft and his administration. The pre-

Payne tariff law was endorsed also.
The heart of the people and the repub-

Walter H. Hanson and Party
Have Thrilling Trip From
New York TO This City

Leaving New York in the dead Of
winter when the snow covered the
ground and with everything frozen Up
and arriving in San Francisco when
the spring flowers were in bloom is
the experience of Walter H. Hanson
of Saratoga Springs, n. Y. who has
Just crossed the continent in his big
Stearns car.
In the party were Hanson, his wife.
son and Henry Wildey. The Hansons
left home on November 20, coming
west by the southern route. Many
friends tried to get the party to put
off the trip until a more favorable
time of the year, suggesting that they
would have to go through country
which would be unsafe for one not
familiar with the lawless bands that
are to be encountered in the lowlands
of the south
At New Orleans Hanson was told
that the roads west were impossible.
This he found was almost true. for at
times the party had to travel for miles
through lakes of water which covered
the road. A book could be written
on the bad roads that they encountered.
The climax was reached with a sand
storm in the desert when nearing Los
Angeles. While going through Mexico
they went over highways never before
travelled by an auto. Through all of
the hard riding the car nevered fall
