Great Scott.
What rot!
We a braggart nation?
Come off! You're dishing dirt.
Perhaps we're somewhat gushy,
But not enough to hurt.
OF course we've got country
That's second now to none,
And as nifty people
We rather take the bun.
Old Glory is a banner
That tops all other flags,
And as textile fabric
It is the first of rags.
Our ships of war that circled
This big. round globe have set
Some pegs of navigation
Nobody's followed yet.
The steel that's in our railways
Would reach the moon and back,
And we've got locomotives
To haul them down the track.
Our buildings scrape the heavens,
And when the stars set tired
They roost upon their ridgepoles
And shine by being wired.
Our farms are so extensive
That one of them alone
Could swallow up kingdom
And hide its king and tyrone.
Our one and only Peary
Through arctic storm and stress
Went for the north pole trophy
And branded it 81. S.
Our trusts-but, say,
Why get gay
Over our natural way?
BY cripes.

Professor j. w. jerks Of Cornell uni

creased production of gold To large

Money is no more fixed In value
than the articles it purchases. There
is no sign of a letup in the increased
production Of gold, and unless some
change is made in our monetary sys-
tenn we may expect prices to go up
for years to come"

Utica, N. Y, Aug. 23.-Theodore
Roosevelt wound up the first day o1
his pilgrimage into the west by plac
ing himself directly in opposition tc
Vice-president Sherman. Speaking to
day in the vice-president's own coun
try, he warmly endorsed State Sena
tor Frederick Davenport, who is q
staunch progressive and whom Mr.
Sherman has said he would not sup
port. Mr.. Sherman was out of town
today and did not see Colonel Roose'
welt.
1t was late in the afternoon when
Colonel Roosevelt reached Summit
Park, ten miles west of here, a sum.
mer resort overlooking the Mohawk
river. Ten thousand persons who at.
tended the Grange picnic there today
were waiting for him and raised q
cheer as the ex-president appeared on
the platform.
Colonel Roosevelt spied Senator
Davenport at once and greeted him
warmly. AS soon as he began his
speech he turned to the senator and
said:
II am glad to see you on the plat
form, Senator Davenport. The only
kind Of politics I care for is the kind
of politics in which decency is COM
bined with efficiency. I hold that the
only way in which q politician can
really serve his party is by helping

that has been made during the presi'
dents administration. 1t offers an
excellent opportunity for the insur'
gents and regulars to get together in
the campaign, and President Taft has
been exceedingly anxious to find a
ground upon which the different fac
tions could meet without embarrass-
ment to either. The principal fight
of the insurgents was upon certain
schedules of the tariff bill. President
Taft is meeting them more than half
way in admitting that individual
schedules need further revision. At
the same time he is backing up the
regulars in that he believes they did
the best they possibly could with the
unreliable Information that was in
their hands. With the creation Of the
Tariff Board, under the Payne-Aldrich
act, and the enlargement of its power
by provisions of the last congress,
the president believes way has been
opened to put the tariff on a scientific
basis for the first time in the history
of the country.

Nothing, however, but a long and
heavy downpour will quench the

of northern Idaho, northwestern Mon

: The fost sensational rumors Of loss OF
! life continue, but it is impossible to
verify them, and it seems likely that
aside from losses among the national
rangers, the number of dead in the
three states will not exceed 100.
Next to the United States, big cor
porstions are the chief sufferers. II
is difficult to give figures on the tim
ber losses, which may reach $4,000,
; 900. 1t is estimated that more than
/ 500 settlers in Montana, Idaho and
Washington have lost their homes and
everything in them.
Fires Spread Rapidly.

that party efficiently to serve the peo-
pie. Because the senator and the men
who have acted with hif have stood
for this principle, am glad to be on
the same platform with him."
There was more cheering as the
colonel uttered these words. When he
could be heard again he added: "You
will at least notice that my utter
ances are free from ambiguity
Then the colonel proceeded with his
talk to the farmers. AS soon as it
was over he hurried off to the Hen
bricks house at Jordanville, Herkimer
county, the place of his brother-in-law,
Douglas Robinson of New York. He
will remain here until tomorrow night,
when he will start for Cheyenne, Wyo.
Senator Davenport supported the
direct nomination bill in the legisla-
ture and has been warm supporter
of Governor Hughes. Politically, Col.
Roosevelt's move in endorsing him is
regarded as his first step in the New
York state fight. On leaving New
York this morning, he said there
would be no compromise so far as he,
was concerned. He had let it be
known that he was reluctant to take
part In the struggle, but now that he
is in it he will fight hard. In his pre-
pared speech Colonel Roosevelt dealt
with the problems Of life I'm the coun-
try and how to solve them.

mountains are burning and that the
entire Coeur d'Alene national forest
will )e destroyed.
Four Families Safe.
The four families of homesteaders
who were reported burned to death on
Latour creek, Kootenai county, Idaho,
escaped by wading fifteen miles along
the bed Of the creek with fire burning
down to the waters edge, forcing the
refugees frequently to submerge them
selves when the flames reached their
faces. The families were those Of
Walter Osborne, B. A. Smith, E. O..
Address and J. o. Address. The aged
father of the Address boys was borne
on a stretcher by the other men. They
arrived at St. Joe with their charred
clothing ready to fall from their
backs.
900 Rangers Missing.
The most serious feature of the fire
is that 900 forest rangers are missing
in Idaho and Montana. The telephone
lines through the national forests
have been destroyed.

Beverly, Mass, Aug. 23-President
Taft's keynote speech for the congress
sional campaign became known here
today. The president will favor fur
ther revision of the tariff. While the
Aldrich law is the best tariff law the
country has had up to this time, he
has at last reached the conclusion
that there is decided room for i'm
provement. Mr.. Taft does not pro-
pose that business shall again be up
set by another wholesale revision of
the tariff but he will recommend to
congress that individual schedules In
the tariff system be taken up separ-
ately and be disposed of on a scien-
tific basis. The new revision is to
be based upon the findings Of the
tariff commission as to the cost OF
production at home and abroad. Only
q fair profit is to be allowed the Amer
lean producer. "Extortionate and un-
reasonable profits" the president de-
clares, "are to be tolerated no long
er." The president has stated these
facts and has outlined his position IN
detail in the letter he has sent to
Representative Mckinley of Illinois
for publication in the Republican Con-
sressional text book. The letter was
mailed from Beverly yesterday. The
time Of making it public has been LETT
entirely to the judgment Of the COM
mittee. Political observers regard
this move az about the shrewdest

Helena, Mont, Aug. 23.-The first
, report to reach this city with the sug'
gestion of the terrible fate that is be.
lieved to have overtaken crew OF
600 forest rangers who left Thompson
Falls four days ago to combat the fu'
rious forest fires in the Cabinet reserve
was brought by Julius Barney, who
arrived today from Thompson, where
he heard from Forest Supervisor
Bushnell first hand information of
conditions in the district.
"Six hundred men, said Mr.. Barney,
"have been gone four days, during
which nothing has been heard from
them, and Forest Supervisor Bushnell
of the Cabinet reserve, who is at
Thompson, fears all are dead. They
could scarcely have obtained food, and
as none has returned it is presumed
they were headed off by the fire.
When | left Thompson this morning a
wall of fire, hundreds of feet in
height, was sweeping in from the
west. The people Of Thompson, num-
bering about 700, had packed all their
effects and were prepared to flee to
Plains, Is miles distant west.
"Thompson began to be crowded
with refugees several days ago. From
White Pine, Mont, Burke, Idaho, and
from many other points they have
come tramping in-men, women and
children; blistered, heartbroken, ev'
cry dollar in the world lost, escaping
only with their lives. The fire has
leaped around Plains, and is burning
east of Paradise and in several other
places. All hope Of fighting it has
been abandoned and Thompson seems
hopelessly cut off. Plains is still
open, and, being the largest town in
Sanders county, can accommodate the
refugees; but nobody knows when
Plains, which is surrounded by dense
forests, will be set afire. The flames
jump five miles at once and spread
with inconceivable rapidity. Mean
while nothing can be done for the 600
men who Are missing, nor can the
slightest news of their whereabouts
be learned"

"a crowd of 200 men, under Chief
Ranger Kootkey, have perished in
camp near Falcon, at the headwaters
of the st. Joseph river. The other loss
of life is estimated at 100. The min
ing town of Wardner is almost sur.
rounded by flames and the miners are
out fighting the fire. The fires in the
great Coeur d'Alene national forests
are beyond control and timber worth
millions of dollars is burning. The
fires on the Occur d'Alene Indian res
ervation are checked, as are those Of
Palmouse forest. Along the St. Jos

described on maps as 1.-The largest
body Of standing pine timber in the
United States," there is continuous
fire from Plummer to point in Mon
tana. The United States is the larg-
est loser and next in Importance are
the losses sustained by the Chicago,
Milwaukee & Puget Sound railroad,
which has suffered destruction of
bridges, buildings and timber lands
for forty miles.
The fires along the Northern Pa

that had been swept in former years,
but the Idaho fires are burning virgin

and attempted to t1ke his Nfe. They
burst his skull, took part Of the
money and left him for dead. Cole
remained conscious and rolled away
from the place where he was struck
down to the railroad tracks. Fearing
they had not done a gooi job the
negroes returned to finish their work
if any more blows were needed and
found that the spot where the wound
