The democrats have no program to offer
which can appeal to the people q an
improvement on present conditions. They
are, of course, DESTROYS Of . change simply
because they are ohice-hungry, but thous-
ands Who are impatient ct President Taft
because he has not accomplished in year
what has taken four years under some i'd
ministrstions, will hesitate whom it comes
to voting for . change to democracy.
The fact is that President Taft and his
cabinet are mot spectacular. Much ID
being accomplished from week to week
which ID not being noted, but which will
appear when the record 10 made up. The
people will find it all out long before Nov.
8, and viii register their approval accord
ingly.
The people should, and will, appreciate
the fact that ali the promises Of platform
cannot be enacted into law in . single
year or in single Congress. Some i'm
portant measures must 70 over till the
next session, and some till the next Con-
gross. For that reason, Mr.. Taft should
have . republican House to work with the
republican Senate during the latter part
of his term in order that the full measure
Of legislation may be had to meet his
recommendation and the pledges OF the
party platform.

The great natural resources Of the earth

by the Omnipotent Hand, that the first
dawn of intelligence should be greeted
by works that spoke to Man Of . power
stronger than his own; Of laws, unlike his
own, immutable, enacted for the guidance
and obedience, not alone of the nrst, but Of
every succeeding generation Of people to the
last to inhabit His universe.
The rise and fall Of nations; the vigor and
decay Of peoples, can be traced, in the one
instance to the observance. in the other in
stance to the disregard Of these Supreme
teachings.
from whom have sprung the American nation
proclaimed their sovereignty over this land.
It was Allied with riches Earnered under the
reign Of natures laws, SUFFICIENT that COM
fort and plenty might be the heritage OF the
remotest time.
But the very abundance and prodigality Of
the land znisled many who have gone before
MS. The storehouse that seemed inexhausti-
BILE has been largely depleted, and to the peo-
PIE Of this day has come the awakening to
duties that cannot be evaded.
One Of the FIRST Of these, is the replacing ON

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Little Comfort for Democrats : Ex-
pcct next House to be Republican.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 30-It will b
well for the democrats to take al the
comfort possible out Of the two recent ex-
ceptional election in congressional dis
tricts, one in Massachusetts, and one In
New York. Both Of these districts will
60 republican next November, and the
result In the special elections will b Of
great profit to the republican party
throughout the country. Already the
effect is very apparent in Warrington, and
everyone, from the President down, il
fully alert to the situation. There will
be six weeks Of very busy times at the
capitol, and then 1t IL expected that the
administration can point to record Of
legislation that will show redemption Of
pledges and Q desire to meet - far ~
possible the peoples needs.
While this legislation in itself will Be
large party asset, the general work OF the
administration will also make rood ~
publican arguments in the coming earn
paisn. It h, OF course, natural to expect
that the expenditure Of the govsrnment
will show normal increasS from year n
year, because Of the increase Of popu-
lation and increased demands on the
treasury.
And yet it is . mot that expenditures
have decreased under the TAFT administra-
ton. How great this decrease viii be ct
the end Of the present fiscal year cannot
now be estimated, but it will b . very
substantial amount. The postal deficiency

now t8,0oo,0o0 LEES than last year to the
present time, and 1t will Be found that
every department has responded to the
request Of the President for the utmost
economy possible, consistent with the
best service.
The fault-dnding newspapers have mot
had time to notice this work Of the
administration, but the people viii soon
and it out and give proper credit.

home town. She imagines herself
burning with a genius for acting. per-
haps. and longs for the glare OF the
footlights and the plaudits OF the
crowd. or perhaps 1t is art In one OF
its many DISCUSSES that IL calling her
to the artificial life OF paved streets
and brick walls.
Occasionally 1t is the lights. the
music and the pleasures OF a swiftly
flowing city life that attract the girl
from the country. but not often. The
girl who is a true daughter Of the coun-
try is seldom deceived by the glare OF
a light whose shadow covers tears and
sorrow or the pleasure that is but
mask for pain. We are told that the
glamour Of the city life is the force
that draws the country girls to town.
Nothing of the sort There is little
glamour about the city for the healthy
girl. The first thought OF the country
girl when she finds herself In the city
Is 'how dirty or how awfully crowd
ed" But Notwithstanding the dirt and
the crowds she often remains. She
stays because she is ambitious to have
a career" There Is a true hearted
farmer boy back home probably who
would be glad to take her into part
nership But in the past the girl has
seldom been taught TO look forward
with pride to becoming a farmers wife
or TO regard life on the farm as be-
Ing a career worthy of her ambition.
This Is the natural outcome OF the
conditions for the quarter of a cen
fury when farmers were selling their
produce below cost. The lot Of the
farmers wife was one OF almost I'M
relenting toll, as was that OF the
farmer himself. There was little 10
tighten the monotony of the ceaseless
grind of homework. Her horizon
was limited by the kitchen walls, and
her highest ambition was 70 keep the
boys out OF the best room" II Is
little wonder that she hoped for some
thing better for her daughters. She
saw unfolding in them her own girl
hood, and she dreaded to see them
spend their lives in the hopeless task
OF keeping body and soul together az
she had done.
Her idea OF city life was vague.
Most of the city women she saw
were well dressed. unwrinkled and
seemingly happy. They were living
the kind OF life she would choose
for her daughter. The toll of the
wives of the poorer laborers she did
not see, One Of the main reasons
that all through this period the coun-
try looked up to the city and the city
looked down on the country was that
country people saw only the best side
Of the city and the city people saw
only the worst side of the country.
The change that has come about In
country life in the past decade and a
half Is so great as to be almost un-
believable. Many OF the country
people themselves refuse TO believe II.
They read the reports OF high prices
skeptically. and not until the produce
Is sold and the money IN their hands
will they really believe their good
fortune. Even then they VIII shake
their heads and say that prices will
surely 20 down before they have an
other crop ready for market. They
have so long been content with
sRall return for their labor and no

80 UR most appreciated blessings
n IA are seldom the ones that are
closest at hand. Just as the
country bred boy sometimes
gets an idea that he has a genius too
broad to be confined between the bound
aries of bis fathers farm, so the girl
who has grown up in the country
sometimes gets a longing for a glimpse
of the unknown world within the city's
walls. The imaginative girl often feel
that her talents will be more appre.
