The Jolly farmer" is no fiction
these days. Everything seems to be
going in the direction of the agricul-
turist. Down the State newspapers
note the gathering of stupendous
crops of hay. The harvest bids fair
to be a record-breaker, and hay
brings good prices these days. Com
ing nearer home, a glance at the
fields of grain as one passes through
the country districts shows that, un-
less something very serious inter
feres, rye and oats will come to the
ripening season in excellent condi-
tion. The rainy spring, followed by
the warm weather of the past few
weeks, has done the trick nicely

Lady of Mine, with the wide gray

 Out of their depths beguiling; Troubled with sorrow or bright with

 Who is to make them shine Softly aglow through the coming
 years.
 Lady of Mine? Lady of Mine. with the soft warm

 Pulsing my veins like wine, Promising happiness. sweet and new. Lady of Mine. Lady of Mine, have little to give. Only a love amending. only the years we have left to live. Only an arm for lending Troubles away in those years to come. When I kneel to a single shrine. You, my dearest. just you-and home Lady of Mine.

A Waning Interest.

If the proceedings in the Ballinger- Pinchot investigation have become so tedious that auditors are unable to remain awake, it cannot be expected that a country wide interest in the controversy can be maintained much longer despite the ginger that Col Hers Weekly is trying to inject into the affair.
 This controversy will shortly have to come off the first page. Ir is be- coming antiquated and the American people are not much for antiquities.
 A hostile season is also rapidly ap- preaching and the populace will soon decline to care whether Glavis Of whom it never heard before and of whom perhaps it will never hear again, is a liar and megalomaniac or not. The evidence which has so far been adduced as to the attitude Of Secretary Ballinger toward conserva- ton has become somewhat blurred as to the public at large by the corrod- ing influence of time. MT. Pinchot IS coming to be remembered only as a former chief forester. who was re- moved for reasons which were or were not good.
 The public eye is turning from all these issues and these personages to the thermometer Beside the base ball season is fairly under way. The Roosevelt reception is approaching and before the echoes of the shout ing and the tumult of that function has died away. the American ear will be turned toward San Francisco to catch the sounds of those thuds caused by the impact of the fists of Jeffries and Johnson.

THE CHANCELLOR cuT-UP.
The Man Who Believes There's Ne
 Good President But a Dead One.

Isn't he the cut-up, though? James Roscoe Day, chancellor of Syracuse university, and author of the senti- | ment, There is no good president but a dead president" has just burst from his crements to announce that President Taft is wrecking the con- stitution, or spelling the grass on the White House lawn. or something of the sort-and the world takes about the same interest that it might in a statement that Himyar won the Brigh- ton Beach handicap shortly after the war. It must be discouragaing for a hard-working publicist like the Doc. He had every reason to expect that the newspapers would display his sen- timents prominently on the first page and that capitalists should immedi- ately thereafter begin to haunt his office, checkbook in hand-whereas the recorders of public opinion lump ed his thoughts under the subhead of Grimes and Casualties" and let it go at that. Here's a country-a nice. wide. fat country-going utterly to ruin, and the one man who sees it's finish clearly can't even get leave to print.
 It shows that the pitcher that goes too often to the oil well gets broken at last. A couple of years ago every one in the country. except Theodore Roosevelt, took a great deal of inter- est in what Chancellor Day said about the then president, John D. Archbold, the Standard Oil magnate, and Dr. Days close personal friend, was espe-
 
 CTS cramp at one time, he liked it so we'll Dr. Day would arise to remark in a modest and deprecating way that the president had cats on the roof and was a malignant prosecutor of malefactors, and that trades unions ought to be burned at the stake. and that he failed to understand why workingmen did not sing hosanna when they caught sight of his dear friend. MT. Archbold, and that no cause could prosper which was fur thered by such abuse as a fat-headed, idle, predatory small-souled. scur- rilous, garrulous, lying. deceitful and penny press had heaped upon him he not believing in any abuse except that which bore the Syracuse label and. generally speaking had quite an enjoyable time.

 And then he tries to repeat on the 1910 circuit with the 1908 monologue and nothing happens. President Taft just intimates that he is not taking any Day with his dinners-or any dinners with Day-doing the in- timating through the second parlor maid, in order not to give the affair. too much dignity. and Chancellor Day is lift fizzing at the chancellery. His only chance to get even will be to the beauties of free speech to and upon the graduating class at Syracuse-and there are few freer speakers than the chanc.

The Wave of Roosevelt. Enthusiasm


 Ray Stannard Baker who was for merly an interesting, and we supposed an accurate delineator of passing events but has now set himself up as a guide of human conduct. and prophet extraordinary informs us that Col Roosevelt's voyage on the sea of popular enthusiasm is nearly over. Mir Baker thinks the colonel will find himself stranded at Firth avenue and Twelfth street New York: that the people having howled themselves hOarse over his return will go away and straightway forget him as they did Dewey and Bryan.
 That will depend largely upon MT. Roosevelt himself and assuming that he has undergone little change since he set out on his hunting trip a short year and a month ago, we believe that he will keep himself more or less within the recollection of his countrymen.
 In the case of Admiral Dewey, by the time he reached New York after his long voyage from the Philippines, Americans had taken a new measure of that achievement in Manila bay IL was hardly given a place among the worlds great naval battles. It is true that Admiral Dewey had acquitted himself well and had bravely gone out to meet dangers that might have existed. But it was found that they did not exist and that the affair with the Spaniards was decidedly one sided
 The admiral soon after his mag nificent reception was led into various steps which did not tend to increase his popularity and the people turned away
 In the case of MT. Bryan. he had completed a tour of the world on which he was signally honored every where He had apparently broadened and deepened. The honors showered upon him were believed to be intend ed less as tributes to his personality than as marks of respect to the na- tion of which he was so brilliant a representative.
 Accordingly Mir. Bryan was well comed home, not as a former candi- date for president nor as a possible future candidate; not as a leader of great party but as the foremost of Americans who had lately been abroad and was now returning home. The Madison Square Garden speech the night of his arrival was a disap- pointment to all Americans. If MT. Bryan had deepened and broadened while abroad. he had contracted and "shallowed" on his return. MT. Roosevelt may be counted upon | to avoid the rocks on which Admiral i Dewey and MT. Bryan went to pieces so that the wave of enthusiasm will | carry him far above Firth avenue and Twelfth street.

COLUMBUS DAY

Today four hundred and some odd
years ago Columbus discovered Amer
lea and thereby established claims to
greatness hardly surpassed in the
worlds history. Although dying in
ignorance of the facts, he not only
paved the way to the settlement of
a great continent but led to the prac-
teal demonstration of the earth s
rotundity, a theory long held and ac-
cepted by scientific men. An intol-
Grant priesthood of dull capacity com
batted the theory in the erroneous
belief that it was opposed to the
teachings of the Bible, and therefore
must be throttled.
In the face OF popular opposition,
and with frail craft it took courage
of the highest quality to face the
west on a trackless ocean. But Co
lumbus possessed such courage in a
degree scarcely elualled in history.
He was not looking for a new coun-
try, but seeking to establish a short
or route TO the Orient which consider
ing the difficulties surrounding traf-
fc at that time would have been of
vast commercial Importance. Colum-
bus accepted the theory Of the earth's
rotundity and argued by sailing West
more direct all water route could
be established, but instead Of discov-
ering this he discovered a continent.

AS to Re-Districtinq.


Republican newspapers and Doliti-
clans are voicing grave and earnest
protests against the election of
Democratic legislature because, for
sooth, the next legislature must reap
portion the state into congressional,
senatorial and judicial districts. and
the politicians aver that the ell Dem
ocrats Will redistrict the state in such
manner as to assure Democratic
control of the state for the next ten
years.
It's a fearful possibility. The Re
publican brethren know just how it
can be done, despite a Republican
majority Of $4,000. They are, YOU
know. so well posted themselves in
the art of gerrymandering. The law
provides that all districts shall be
composed OF compact and contiguous
territory Now, just observe what
splendidly compact and contiguous
territory is included in some OF the
senatorial districts created by our Re
publican brethren nine years ago.
Take for instance the Sixth district.
composed of the counties of Wayne.
Mingo, Mcdowell and Wyoming. Like
wise the splendidly compact and con.
tiguous territory in the Tenth district.
comprising the Democratic counties Of
Calhoun, Gilmer Braxton, Webster
and Pocahontas. Or the compact and
contiguous territory embraced i'm the
Thirteenth district, Barbour, Upshur.
Randolph and Pendleton. Or the
Fourteenth district, comprising the
compact and contiguous territory em.
braced in the counties Of Preston.
Tucker, Grant and Mineral.
Get a map of your state. trace the
boundaries Of these districts. which.
under the law, must be composed OF
compact and contiguous territory. and
you will readily see why the bosses
now in control of the Republican par.
~ want to retain the Job OF arrang.
ing the district boundaries.
Would il not be far better TO have
a reaDportionment that would be fair
and just to Republicans and Demo.
Gratis alike? With the large number
of Republican hold-over senators.
there is very small chance that the
Democrats will gain control OF the
