PoINDExTER,s NIcrnRv

Poindexter's splendid victory last
week in Washington was a desirved
tribute to a faithful and able pub
lie servant. It was more than that;
it was a peoples revolt against DO
litical bourbOnism. Every vote cast
for Poindexter was a vote for popular
And Poindexter's naei-
Ority is $4,000!
According to the ritual of boss
politics, Poindexter was doomed to
defeat. President Taft threw the
weight of federal power and prestige
against him. Secretary BalIinger
fought with desperation to beat him
and win Vindication. All the preda-
tory interests of the Mountain, States
and their allies in the East, that are
trying to grab the nations rich ma
tural resources, were arrayed against
him. Tradition that hardest of all
thlngs to overcome, decreed that he
could not win because he happened
to live in the eastern instead of in
the western part of the state. The
political machine was set in motion
to cruch him. Yet he swept the state
He carried every county except one
and that county he lost only by rs
votes.
Washington has done well. Pom
dexter cannot be brtbed by patronage
nor touched by Influence nor move
by threats, to vote against the pub
lie good. He is able. He is unafraid
He is a democratic Republican. He
was tried in the House. He never
taltered. In the coming sessions of
Congress, when The System fights
to keep what it has taken and take
what is left, Poindexter will be found
beside the Senators who are steadily
forcing Big Business statesman ship
out of public life.-La FolIette's Ma
gazine.

HOME AND SUNSHINE.

In view Of the fact that home
touches and lives in all hearts great
care should be exercised in making
it a cheerful and sunny place. The.
plant that lives in the shade is sick
1y and unsightly. The animal Of
darkness is restless, troublesome
and fierce. And what is there worse
than a sickly, unsightly plant, or
wild ravenous beast? Nothing but
the man whose home has been cold,
stormy and cherries, with sun shut
out till everything above him is black
every room a swamp, every picture a
weeping willow. He is worse than
funeral procession, with hearse and
casket moving silently through the
streets. These have a place and serve
a purpose. But a murmuring, fault
finding man is the worst thing nature
ever ordered or produced. Never
happy never allowing others to be
happy in his presence. He carries
face as cherries as a tomb stone,
and as gloomy as heavens arch in a
thunder storm, minus the lightning.
His presence is like a discordant
organ ground by the hand of fate;
he drives a hearse through every So
cial gathering, hangs pictures of
gloom on the walls of home and
hastens the death of the sick.
We are provoked to sing in his
presence the song of the sainted
Bliss.
go bury thy sorrow, the world has
its share;
Go bury it deeply, go hide it with
Go bury thy sorrow, let others be
blessed,
Go give the world sunshine, tell
Jesus the rest.
If you want cheerfuIness in your
hCme you must have sunshine and
genial hearts. Plan to live in your
dwelling, live there; if there is a
dark room, shut it up; keep the
children out of it; if you have trou-
bles shut them up there-never take
them into the family circIe-give
home the sunniest thought and plans
of your whole life and fill it with
love, joy, peace, gIadness- sunshine.

ODD THINGS ABOUT NOTABLE
MEN

The successful career of the self
made men never fails to enlist the
public interest. Many self-made men
have attained to the highest offices
in the gift of the people; or to an
enviable height in science, art, lit
erature and inventions. For example
there were Aesop and Homer, two
of the most famous Greek writer's.
The former, a hunchback, was at one
time a slave while the great Homer
started in life as a blind beggar. Sir
Richord ArkwTi ght, who invented the
cotton-spinning frame was formerly
a barber. Like Michael Faraday, the
famous chemist, who was a bookbind
er in early life, Benjamine Gushing
Nudge, the inventor Of the new OK
manufacturing linen is a chemist.
Charles Dickens, started as a label
sticker i'm a shoe-black factory. Ben
famine Franklin, who coaxed light
ming down to the earth by means of
a kite, was the son of poor talIow-
chandler. Thomas A Edison, the wiz
owl x,-ar =, =, or,-cI1o1 Do4,,ioIy DoTopou
inventor of almost innumerabIe e
lectric appliances, including the tele-
post system of automatic telegraphy,
ETC., was born of poor parents, on
farm in Ireland. John Keats, immor-
tai poet, author of "Endymion," was
the son of a hostler. Jean Franco
is MiIlet, who starved to death with
in the very shadow of his eternal
lived painting, FFThe Angelus," which
afterwards sold for $4,000, com
menced life as a common farm lab
orer. Geo. Stephenson, the inventor,
Of the steam engine, began life as a
helper to his father, who was fire
man at a collery. Andrew Carnegie
was a telegraph messenger boy at
So a week and the son of a poor
Scotch yarn-weaver. Cardinal WoIsey
the great Prime Minister to King
Henry VIII, was a butchers son.
The author of Robinson Cruso,"
Daniel Defoe, assisted his father in
his butcher shop. John D. Rookie
Teller, the worlds richest man be-
gan life as book-keeper on a salary

The Grand Rapids Reporter pub
fishes the Progressive Republican
ticket at the head of its editorial
column. We notice that the name of
Congressman Morse is omitted. 1t is
conceded that Mr.. Morse is one of the
progressives. At least he says he is.
We should not think that such
thing as being knocked out of the
postCffice would stop the Reporter
from supporting Mr.. Morse We
would suggest that as he does not
expect to support Mr.. Morse that
he place the name of John Lamont,
the Democratic candidate for congress
in its column. He is an excellent
man for the position and if he should
be elected he would let the people
know that there is a tenth district in
Wisconsin. Better work for and sup
port Mr.. Lamont, Bro. Fontaine.-
Shawno County Advocate.
We understand Mr.. Lamont is an ex
ceIlent candidate possessing the ne
cessary qualifications for the office
he seeks. If, he were a republican
we would be glad to list him at the
head of our editorial column We do
not consider Mr.. Morse a Progressive
Republican, even tho he pretends to
be, His word is no good with US.
We shall not vote for him, and there
fore would not ask our friends to, or
recommend his election for a place
that he is not worthy Of.
Others may do as they like, we
shall neither vote for him or com
mend him for an office that we
know him to be unworthy of. If he
is reelected it win be without our
vote or help.

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

Never was the opportunity greater
nor the need more pressing for the
exercise of good common sense and
courage in business affairs than is
the case today. Notwithstanding the
sound fundamental conditions and the
acknowledged fact that the wealth
Of the country this year will be e.
Enormously augmented by a bountifuI
harvest there os a hesitation and
fear attendant upon business enter
prise that is acting as a serious
handicap. In fact, the industrial ac-
tlVlty that is enjoyed today is due
mostly to urgent requirements rather
than to the natural DEVELOPMENT of
trade which would be very much great
er If the minds Of men were not so
harassed by the fear of untoward
events that are not likely ever to
occur. For some time past business
has been going forward spasmodicaIly
Stocks of raw materials in manufact-
urers' hands are generally low. BUY
ing is from hand to mouth. When it
IS considered that this sort of in
dustrial activity prevails it is. indeed
amazing that the volume of business
is as large as it is.
A recent canvass of some of the
most important industries of the
country revealed the fact that thew
are running from 70 to 100 pei. cent
OF capacity, a remarkable showing
In view of the unrest prevailing and
particularly when Kit is Remembered
that most Of the larger corporations
have greatly increased their capacity
during the past few years. Inquiries
for pig iron and steel products of
large volume are reported this week
but new business in these lines is
not important. The railways are
reporting larger grOss earnings than
for August, but are holding back or
ders for equipment and rails until
they know definitely what freight
rates they will eb permitted to charge,
1t is believed that politics will in
time dwindIe as a disturbing factor,
but at present business interests view
the political turmoil as having but
one outcome revision of the tar
if. Consequently they do not believe
In Yenturing far in new enterprise
until they know what the new sche-
dulles are to be. According to the
expressed views Of many large in
terests they are more apprehensive
of the results of a new tariff than
they are of a change in administra-
ton. But business is bound to thrive
more or less. Notwithstanding turbu-
lent political conditions. Many large
undertakings have been pending for
several years. Some will be pushed
through by force of necessity, despite
prevailing handicaps. This country
is too prosperous, and her people
too progressive, to permit business
stagnation. The exercise of ordinary
business acumen, mixed with a little
courage, will do wonders toward keeI
ing the wheels of progress in motion
