Around the National Capital hangs
signs of crepe on every Republican
officials door. They are trying hard
to throw out the life line. The dis
treSs signal floats at their mast, al
though VIM. Taft is heard family
calling "dOn't give up the ship"
He has asked that a campaign be
started IN the interest of the party,
and some one suggests that he needs a
press agent. But, alas, he has yelled
wolf, wolf too often. The people have
lost confidence and the wolf has come
in earnest. The old wheel hor. eS of
the Republican party in Congress are
falling one by one, and Teddy ROose-
welt is too far away to help with his
big stick. He could give Taft the
for President and land
him in Office, but he can not hold him
there and make him live up to the
promises he made the dear people.
Such is life, the wicked fee when no
man pursueth. Many good Republi-
can journals offer some good remedies
and suggestions to help the grand old
party out of the dilema, but SO far no
one has been able to diagnose the case
and death seems to he inevitable.
Why should we m BURN the party that
has long lived out its purpose and USE
fulness. The negroes are free and the
party is without platform. Why

The English Sparrow

When the English Sparrow first
made its appearance i'm this country
and began to nest about the city and
couL try home it. was heralded as a
public benefactor. The alleged vir-
ue which was most appreciated was
the general report that no catterpil-
lar or any other worm or insect pest
could exist where the English Spar
row was permitted to dOmicie. Ga &C.
count Of this favorable report its
friends were the farmer, the garders
and especially the OrchardiSt who gave
t a hearty welcome. But upon inves-
,igatiOn it has been found that 1T will
eat catterpillars or insects only when
there Is no wheat, millet or cane seed
Or any other cereal in the farmers
field for it to feed upon. The general
public has come to know that this
dirty, vicious and destructive bird is
ihe worst of all pests and is despiSed

The government is planning to
make determined and persistent ef-
fort to exterminate it and will re-
ceive the hearty cooperation of all the
farmers of the country who lose thOus-

between the growth Of urban popula-
tion and of rural population in the
last decade than in that preceding, the
difference was not as great as in the
decade of 1880 to 1890, or as it was
in most of the earlier decades.
The conclusion cannot. therefore, -
he says, be safely drawn that there
is, in any broad sense. an increasing
tendency by the population to leave
the country and go to the city"
FARMERS INCOME INCREASED
The decline in rural population has
been substantially general through the
great northern middle section of the
country. In the states of Ohio Indiana,
Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky and
Tennessee, which lie in solid body,
440 out of the $50 counties decreased in
population from 1900 to 1901
The director closes by saying:
THE decrease in rural population in
the middle states is by no means due
TO lack Of prosperity, as the agricul-
tural statistics of the census bureau
shows an extraordinary increase in
the income of the farmers when the
statistics are compiled"

CAN'T DRINK FROM
BOTTLE IN SALOON

Queer diseases require queer
remedies, according to the
ideas of the proprietor of a GER
tain Front avenue saloon, who
has posted in a rear room of his
establishment a conspicuous
sign, which establishes a house
rule as follows:
Drinking from YOUR bottle
not allowed on the premises"
The saloonman says that the
rule was made necessary by
the fact that numbers Of his
patrons developed the bad habit
Of buying their booze by the
bottle and retiring to the rear
rom to drink 1t. They got about
twice as much whisky for their
money when buying by the bot
tie, but the boss says 1t doesn't
put any money in his pocket.
