Tools Of Burke.

Alexandria Herald-The insurgent
newspapers Of the State are no doubt
hoping that their stalwart brethren
will support the entire Republican
ticket. but some of the most surging
insurgents are standing right up on
their hind limbs and roaring about
the congressional nominees. 1t Is
dollars to dOughnut6 that the editors
who are making the most noise are
tho ones who consistently cut the
Republican ticket at every election
and then tell the voters how to be
good Republicans. Such tactics
make = mar tired, and cause him to
wonder why the thusness.
Yermillion Reppblican:-We don't
Tor : moment suppose Messrs. Linn
and Fitch will copy the above into
their Leader or Herald, but we do
hope they will read the little but
pertinent paragraph over twice, and
then proceed to gaze In their reSpec-
tive pocket mirrors and 9 just how
shAmefaCed they have become within
the last thirty seconds.
The editor OF the Herald and the
editor OF the Republican are time
serving political sycophants and are
not capable Of appreciatin the duties
and rights Of an honest, independent
editor. Eysry republican must con-
sider the political issue from his own
Viewpoint and do hisduty Is m honest

Republican editors who wouldn't
know the difference between . yellow
dog and decent politics unless the

that's the extent Of his ambition.

I'm some respects the records them
selves are deceptive, for it was the
practice Of those who were battling
for the special interests whenever
they found themselves confronted by
inevitable defeat to abandon their
position, and by timely surrender
prevent the records from disclosing
through an actual count Of votes the
attitude Of hostility to the public
welfare which had been maintained.
"Thus 1t is possible for Aldrich TO
assert that the provisions in the rail-
road bill forced into 1t by the pro-
gressives and Democrats were agreed
to by the organization supporters of
special privilege, and the records do

reluctant agreements were forced
from them.

these claims, and it is hardly possible
that the public can be for long
deceived.

A man can not be said to be really
old fashioned unless he takes care of

to him: Glow old are you, old man %

Every time we are at the union

AS a general rule, a committee is a

In every country town, there is a

that he doesn't build an airship, and

We still contend that If man wants
really good fishing, he can only get
satisfaction in the railway folders or
in another mans stories.
In the union depot this sign is dis
played: "Defacing This Building Is
Prohibited Isn't it funny that there
are people who do not know that de-
facing building is prohibited?
There is a lot of useless good ad-

HOW WONDERFUL rs LOVE.


How wonderful is love!
More wonderful, I wis,
Than cherry blossoms are when springs
first kiss
Warns the chill breast Of earth,
And gives new birth
To beauty High above
All mtracles-the miracle of love,
Which by its own glad and triumphant
power
Brings life to flower.
Oh, love is wonderful!
More wonderful than is the dew-fed
rose.
Whose petals half unclose,
In gladness of the light,
When first the dawn comes robed in
vesture cool
OF fragrant, shimmering white!
More wonderful and strange
Than moonrise. which doth change
Dizziness to glory
Yea. with a touch transforms the noun
tains hoary,
And fills the darkling rills with living
silver bright!
Not music when it wings
From the far azure where the skyiark
sings
Is wonderful as lovei
Not music when it wells
From the enchanted fairy-haunted dells
Where. shrined mid thorn and vine
An ecstasy apart,
Drawn from the lifeblood of yearning
heart
The nightingale pours forth forever
The rapture and the pain, that naught
OF love which mortal is, yet knows itself
divine!

Monthly.

POSTAL RANKs IN ENGLAND.

In view of the enactment by con-
gress of a bill for a postal savings
bank system in the United States, the
following review, by Consul-General
John L. Griffiths of London, of its
operation in the United Kingdom,
where the deposits are mounting up
toward a billion dollars, will be of
much interest:
In 1908 there were 1s,379,991 de-
posits, aggregating $217, 877,011. and
9,922,169 Withdrawals. aggregating
$220,916,714. The amount withdrawn
during 1908 exceeded the amount de-
posted by $3,039,703, but in 1907
when financial conditions were less
stable the amount Withdrawn exceed
ed the amount deposited by $10,785,-
S38. The largest number of with
drawals on any one day was 55,485,
and of the entire number of withdraw
ais in 1908, 5,s1O.4S5 were made on
demand. The total sum to the credit
of the 11,01S,251 depositors in the
Postoffice Savings bank on December
81, 1908, was $7s1,794,533. an in
crease of $15,32O,409 in. the year.
Friendly societies opened 227 ac-
counts in the British Postoffice Saw
ings bank in 1908, and 2,602 accounts
were opened by charitable, provident
and trade societies. There were %
foreign and colonial government saw
ings banks which participated in 1908,
in the arrangement with the British
Postoffice Savings bank, made under
the provisions of the savings bank act,
1902, for the transfer of accounts. The
sum of $S47,725 was transferred I'M
der this arrangement to the British
Savings bank, and the sum of $216,715
was transferred to the foreign and
colonial government savings banks.
Soldiers stationed abroad are able to
remit money for deposit in the Brit
ish Postoffice Savings bank through
the British war office. In 1908 there
were 1899 such deposits made, ag-
gregating $21O.724.
A number of the penny banks, scat
tered throughout Great Britain, in
vest their funds in the Postoffice Saw
ings bank, and a number of schools
make use of the tamp-deposit system.
More than 5000 schools in this way
encourage habits of thrift in their
pupils. The net expenses of the Brit
ish Postoffice Savings bank for 1908
were $3,3O7.653, and the average cost
per transaction on the total number
of deposits and Withdrawals was 11.54
cents. a slight excess over 1907. due to
exceptional circumstances

Hustle is the yeast that causes a

MERE KNOWLEDGE is UsELE ss.

The uselessness Of an accumulation
OF facts without the ability to apply
them is shown over and over again. A
Kansas City paper tells of the keeper
OF a small restaurant who is a regular
encyclopaedia of knowledge, but whose
ABILITY has never lifted him above the
necessity OF earning his daily bread by
the sweat of his brow, with nothing
laid by for the future, Some years ago
there was a dishwasher in a Jetmore
hotel who could tell the name of every
railroad in the world, its mileage, VAL
uation, rolling stock and of everything
pertaining to railroads, yet he washed
dishes Tor a living. From isolated cases
like these we get the idea that perhaps
we expect too much of education and
pay too little attention to real charac-
ter and ambition. The knowledge to do,
will never accomplish anything until It
is coupled with the desire to act and Is
backed by the determination to make
good. But on the other hand deterni-
nation and ambition are often fruitful
of accomplishment though handicapped
by lack of observation-disclosures World.

grandmother of. 81 children, clipping
with a man 20 years her junior, with
matrimony the object. This may APP
pear rather stunning to the younger
generations, but why not a few old

young ones? If Mrs. Winnegar-that is

instill the spirit of youth into her os-
sif1ed bones. whose business may it be?
Her marriage could hardly prove more
unhappy and in many instances dis
astrous, than do hundreds where
young people have chosen the elope-
ment route to begin the conjugal jour-

go her way; she probably is more IA

THE SAME OLD RACKET.

An alienist has made an examination
of Porter Charlton, the self-confessed
murderer of his wife,
This alienist succeeded most admir-
ably. He set out to find that the young
man was insane; that's what he was
paid for finding out, and. Of course,
that is what he did find out.
There is nothing at all unusual in the
process. 1t was tried in the case of
harry Thaw with more or less success
and it has been tried time and again,
usually with the result that the science
Of medicine loaned its influence, for
consideration, to help thWart Justice.
1t is indeed a most unhappy state OF
affairs when the most humane and ele-
waiting of the sciences and the arts con-
spires to help self-confessed criminals
to escape justice.
Should Charlton succeed in escaping
the punishment that is due him ne
will have the medical profession anu
the government of Italy, intimidated
by high influence, to thank.-Wichita
