orally agreed that the best plan will
be to follow some railroad probably

TAFT SEEING THE LIGHT

TT DOES appear that light is be-
ginning to pierce the somewhat
l. dense intellectual fog of a GER
tain fat gentleman who is taking the
summer sea breezes at Beverly. His
anxiety, according TO the Associated
Press dispatches, that the people shall
understand that Aldrich no longer has
any influence with his administration;
his repudiation of the recent action of
his official team-mate, Mr.. Sherman.
in allowing himself to be placed at
the head of the opposition to Roose
Velt and Hughes and the reform poll
eies for which they stand in New York
politics, and, last but probably not
least, his apparent forgetfulness of the
terms of approval which he piled
upon the Payne-Aldrich tariff in his
Winona speech, and admission that he
thinks that at its coming session con-
gress should again betake itself to
the matter of tariff revision, are all
indications of the fact that the news
from Iowa, Kansas, California and
other backgrounds where Republican
standpatism has gone down before the
triumphant ranks of Republican in
slrgency, has been received and is
having it's effect.
Now if he will only put himself right
before the country by making good
the recent intimation that Mr.. Ballin-
ger would retire, or be retired, from
the cabinet on September 10, and when
congress meets will send a message to
it in which he will show up some of
the outrages of the steel, cotton and
wooden schedules. and urge their
reformation, the country will begin to
believe that Mr.. Roosevelt did not,
after all, make such fatal mistake
when he favored Taft's candidacy for
president.

COMMENTS UPON QUOTATION
FROM FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE

Editor Herald: The public is at
present so interested in everything per-
tanning to that remarkable woman,
Florence Nightingale, that undoubt-
edly the following quotation from let
ter written by her will be eagerly read:
"The disease germ fetch and the
witchcraft fetch are the product OF
the same mental condition; both, of
them considered simply as supposittons
or harmless theories But when either
the witchcraft hypothesis or the dis
case germ hypothesis is made the basis
of legislation on the assumption that
any public good can follow from any
act Of parliament, then the matter be-
comes very serious indeed. and the
fact of such legislation being possible
can only be considered as a striking
proof of how rapidly the so-called sci
entlfc mind OF England is sinking into
a condition of abject superstition"

Necessaries and necessities. In good
English there is a clear distinction be-
tween these words and 1t is this: Nee
essaries are things we need to supply
our necessities, our necessities are our
needs. The newspapers rarely use
these words with the proper discrim-
nation; they continually call necessar-
les necessities.

tions of speech the absurd use of this
word to indicate every conceivable

It. too, is an abomination. See the

As to pronunciation:
Contents is properly pronounced con-
TENTS not contents.
Address Is not properly (as noun)
Address it is ADDRESS.
Why has the general public adopted
the improper pronunciation of these
words rather than the correct one?
For the same reason, I suppose, what
ever it may be, that people at large
use their knives and forks, particular
ly their forks as If they were imple-
ments of husbandry, or warfare!

VIEWS SOLUTION OF CHILD
LABOR PROBLEM WITH WONDER

Editor Herald: In Letter Box of
Aug. "a, / read with wonder, not un-
mixed with admiration, the new and
simple solution of the child labor
problem so clearly elucidated by the
most naive and unembarrassed apostle
of Nautilus of modern times. He
says: TT is My opinion that the best
way to eliminate the horrible prae-
tice of employing children in the fac
tories is to begin at the source of the
trouble and teach the working class
and all classes of limited means, the
great injustice of raising children they
cannot give the proper care and
schooling" Our problem is solved.
After we have obtained the sanction
of Col Roosevelt to our plan we will
lay the ak right to the root of the
horrible practice" of allowing poor
children to be born, and make IL
capital offense for any poor girl to
give birth to a male child, immedi-
ately executing both mother and child.
Then we will make the punishment i'm
prisonment at hard labor for life for
rich man to wed any woman of the
working class.
Thus, within one generation, both
poverty and child labor could be wiped
from the list of our national dis
graces, for we would have made 1t inn
possible that there should be any more
poor boys, and the poor girls-would
soon be old enough to vote.

SIDE BY SIDE FROM MONTREAL

Y rode together on the train
From Montreal, that summer day;
I saw the fields of waving grain
The peaceful hamlets, far away;
The wide ST. Lawrence, here and there
Outspread itself before my view,
But she was young and she was fair,
A,d yyha. cared for vistas where
The slanting sky was clear and blue?
From Montreal we journey west;
The countryside was fair and green
Jewel CLEANED upon her breast
No Iovelier maid was ever seen;
The shores of blue ontario
Their beauties spread before my gaze;
Her checks passessed healthful glow,
And what cared to watch the flow
OF brooks that wound through leafy ways
How green the Dundas valley spread
She sat across the narrow aisle
An artist might have turned his head
And longed to llnger there a while;
No fairer scene has ever won
Such praise as poets may bestow
But what cared how rain and sun
Had laid the restful colors on
The canvas that was stretched below?
We, side by side. from Montreal,
Sped westward past the peaceful hills,
Aud now and then a waterfall
chat served half-hidden rustic mills;
Y-o passed together the frontier,
Before me spread my native land;
Yet what cared t? II still was dear,
But she was sitting very near.
And you--ah, you can understand.
From Montreal we journeyed far;
IIabt 10 ri
And, leaning over In the car,
/ spoke "a civil word or So
She tossed her head disgustedly
And would not heed my poor excuse;
"Tve paid for all my meals" said she;

You've waited till It is no use"

no evidence to show that riding
in al automobile IS dangerous.
The machine is under more per-

at passing train or a flying
