Old September Poem.

The busted tourist will return from
France with hotel stickers stuck upon
his pants, and tarred and postalcarded
by his friends, viii reap the penalty of
what he sends. They'll waltz him up and
down upon rail, and alternately turn
him head and tail, or howsoever they
may best enjoy the views in Venice or
the site of Troy.
The festive calf will blithely sniff
and snort. and deftly tip up where the
hair is short, and in the quiet even after
glow the quail will pipe his dulcet piccolo-
The bole insurgent will insurge the more,
and fill the planet with his dreadful roar,
and each one betting he will not be last,
the autumn candidates with gallop past.
The new progressive and the Demo
crat, the uninsurging that are standing
pat, and in the midst of them, unfaint OF
heart, our Mr.. Bryan on the water cart.
A maze of issues, and a mass of men,
and 10, a gallus busting now and then,
and not especially alarmed by it, the
trusts desisting till the swarm has lit.
But howeoever and be it as may, the
dread mosquito viii have had its day,
and joining Satan in its spectral growth,
have made it real hell there for them
both. The while the earthly remnant OF
it swings upon the window screen, and
drying clings to that post which, though
wanting mortal fire, it still holds with its
face against the wire
The sad day OF school will come to pass,
And the barefoot boy will hide out In the
grass,
And by the time we've caught these NAL
contents
The Crippen chase viii look like thirty
cents.
Milady Fashion in her hobble skirt

women wear, and how they stick on other

constrain their toes and what Importance
they attach to clothes. But bless as. are

Did you ever notice that in group pho
tographs it is the man who is sitting
down while the woman is standing? Does
this indicate want of gallantry on the
part of the man, or is it because of the
woman innate desire to show off her

Weather and Crop Notes.

September, the great hay harvest
month. is at hand. 1t is SO called. because
it is usually the driest and summiest
month Of the year, and follows the usual
ly) wettest month. From partial obser-
vation, there seems to be large area OF
cowpeas, and in fine condition, assuring
a wealth of provender. Corn breaking
is now in order and good yield is every
where evident. Fair weather continues
and the rice planters are busy as bees.
They all complain Of short yields and,
what is worse, low market for the pro-
duct.

Boy Wanted.-A certain business man
of Rochester is of opinion that he has an
exceedingly bright office boy, and moth
ing pleaSes him better than to tell how
he acquired the youngsters services.
A notice had been posted in the mans
shop window, which read as follows:
'Boy wanted about IA years."
A lad of that age, with little that was
prepossessing in his appearance, came
into the Office and stated that he had
read the notice.
DO you think you would like to have
the position?" asked the merchant,
patronizingly, as he gazed at the lad
over the rim of his spectacles.
Eyes. sir,n was the reply: 81 want
the job, but / don't know that can
promise to keep it fer the full fourteen
years. .'-Lippincotfs.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 16-Fraternal or
ganizations with uniformed ranks will be
drilled and trained in the future by Of
ficers Of the United States Army, II the
bill which Senator Clapp has introduced
in the Senate becomes a law. This pro-
vides for the assignment Of retired Of
ficers to work Of discipline among the
civilian soldiers OF the fraternal organi-
zations, the expense to be borne by the
Government
The bill says that the object Of this as
signment Of army officers for this duty is
TO encourage and develop the fraternal
military organizations which obligate their
members 70 fidelity and loyalty 70 the nag
Of the country. The measure sets forth
that there are now many thousand men,
bers OF these uniformed companies
throughout the country.
It Is provided that the fraternal bat
talions shall be instructed in roster, In
principles OF military strength and in
military efficiency. This training. # is
said. would be a valuable asset TO the
country in time OF war.

THE POT AND THE KETTLE.

- EFERRING to the evident purpose OF the
~ Democrats of Council to hog all the Of
fees involved in the reorganization of the en-
gineering departments, the Democratic evening
newspaper thinks it is a case of the pot calling
the kettle black and this is pretty nearly cor
rect. Our thought was that in an advance
made in the city work. had the Democrats been
inspired solely by desire for the welfare of the
city they could have given the Republicans
some representation in consideration of the fact
that the Republican Street and Sewer Depart
ment had retained Democrats in positions.
The Democrats, it seems to us, missed point.
But however. it makes little difference. The
good that has come out of the discussion is the
expression of public opinion in favor of nom
partisanship in the conduct of much OF the city
work. All the newspapers of the city have de-
cared themselves in no uncertain tones about
this matter The Democratic paper calls atten-
ton to the fact that Mayor Spruance will soon
appoint new members of the Board of Health.
This body also should be taken out of politics,
although we do not expect it will be at pres
ent.
All this discussion shows most clearly that we
should have a new city charter which would do
away with the spoils system as far as possible
The only thing that can be said in favor OF the
present system is that the two political parties IL
the city are so evenly balanced in municipal
elections that one is a check on the other. If
one party were in a great majority, 1t IS easy to
sec that an intolerable condition might develop
such as Chester complains OF.

WALL STREET TACTICS.

4 turb the ordinary business man and man
ufacturer who is attending to his own affairs
and trying to make a living is this continual
gossip about Wall Street being afraid that
something is going to happen in Washington,
that we are to have hard times and panic
again.
Then some captain of industry gives assur-
ances that the country is not to be wrecked and
that man will still have fair opportunity to
make a living
All this talk about panics and the like is put
out by Wall Street and its organs to scare the
people and to enable few manipuators to alb
sorb a still greater proportion of the wealth OF
the country What an odd situation, that a
nation like ours, a nation that produces real
wealth by the billions, that has vast resources
should be prey of Wall Street cut throats and
manpulators who threaten the country with
a panic if the government should proceed against
them for any violation of the laws.
According to the Wall Street view the only
way we can have industrial and financial peace
is to permit the Wall Street minions TO have
their own way 1t is an easy matter for them
to create scare because in the great industries
of the country thousands of dollars OF the
ings of the people are invested and capital wants
to take no chances. Those who have invest
ments do not wish to see their holdings impaired
or sacrificed. The only remedy for the most
fearful is to invest their savings in real tangi-
bic property such as land which Wall Street
! cannot reach, instead of purchasing water of the
big stock companies Much of the industrial
trouble is caused by the fact that industrial con-
Germs are overcaptazed and capital is trying to
earn more than it is justly entitled to.
SO we go, with the President giving what are
called assurances that he will not run amucS
and destroy values and at the same time assert
ing that the laws against trusts and illegal cor
porations and financial crookedness must be en-
forced
The latter course is the only one open to him.
If the System rests upon nothing more Sc
cure than immunity from prosecutions for vio-
lating the laws, it is in very precarious con-
dition and must sooner or later crash There is
a spirit abroad a spirit stirred up by Theodore
| Roosevelt which demands law enforcement and
! straightforward business methods
Nothing could indicate this palmer than the
/ great sentiment that exists for Roosevelt in the
! West sentiment which according to recent
! figures shows that he is favorite in the West
with the majority of Republican editors as com
pared with President Taft. There must be some
basis, some sound reason for this preference for
| Roosevelt
And it is not all in the admiration Of masses
of people for an aggressive man, for a man who
adds piauancy TO national affairs but it rests or
a firm belief that Roosevelt pierced the truth
of the situation in this country and exploited the
doctrine of a fair deal as against the forces o.
privilege.

The Truce of the Suffrasettes.
s,tr Xorlr Txpnfppr Post

The truce lately declared by Mrs
Pankhurst must not be interpreted
as a confession Of failure on the part
Of the Sufragettes. 1t only indicates
that for tire present they have resolved
TO change their tactics; but It is by
no means implied that they win cease
TO work or that they will no longer op-
pose the Government in power.
They will continue as usual to fight
against the Government nominees at
by-elections, but their main purpose
will be to educate the public, especially
women, and TO make them understand
the object Of their endeavors. In the
meantime It is hoped that the Govern
ment will take up the question Of wo-
man suffrage in earnest, though for the
present the likelihood OF any action
Is. we should think, very slight.
Miss Christabel PanlShurst explains
the present policy of the Women's
Social and Political Union as follows:
IT means this. that the Government
will be asked I'm a perfectly constitu-
tional manner for an extension Of the
| Parliamentary franchise to women.
