Philosophy of Phillips Brooks.

1t is only by thinking about great
and good things that we come to love
them, and it is only by loving them
that we come to long for them, and it
is only by seeking after them that
they become ours, and we enter into
vital experience of their beauty AND
blessedness. Phillips Brooks.

Benny on Benevo1ence.

Benevolence is great thing. When
you have benevolence you cannot rest
until you do something to make other
people feel grateful to you. The other
day my mamma went up into the attic
to find a lot of old clothes to give
to poor people who could not afford to
buy any clothing for themselves.
While she was hunting around she
found gold-headed cane worth $50
that grandpa had put up there Is
years ago, and forgot all about. Thus
we see. dear friends, benevolence
brings its own eward.-Benny.

STATE EXPECTS Big SHOWING
Washington Looks for Six Repre-
sentatiVeS in Congress.
Spokane, 1t Is Said, VIII Have Pop
uIatiOn QuadrupIed I'm the
Census of 1910.

Spokane. Wash. Feb. 6.-Owing TO the
wonderful growth of Eastern Washington
during the past ten years. It IS predicted
by Census Supervisor Storch, that Wash
ington will be entitled to six Representa-
tlves instead of three, as at present, in
the new enumeration.
The Third district, in which Spokane
is located. had population Of $4,000 in
1900. but this has been more than doubled
in the past ten years. According 70 the
census enumerator it is reasonable to
expect that this district will show popu-
lation Of over 100000. with Spokane hold
ing 10000 of that number.
The census Of 1900 gave the city Of
Spokane 36.S4S which. according 10 the
latest figures, shows that the city has
quadrupled in population in ten years.
THE census Will tell a story of marvel
Gus growth" said Mr.. Storch. "and both
the city and surrounding country will
show a wonderful increase that 7 doubt
Will be equaled by any other section of
the United States"
Chief Statistician Hunt has been in the
city for some days comforting with the
enumerators and supervisor and made the
prediction that the new census would
make a great difference In the next

TIMBER BUSINESS INCREASES
National Forests in Pacific North
west Report Demand for Trees.
Sales Amount TO 52,OOO,OOO Feet,
from which S114,OOO Was Re-
ceived by the Government.

Information has reached the Depart
ment OF Agriculture from the Forest
Service Office at Portland. Greg. which
shows that the timber sale business on
national forests in the Pacific northwest
is increasing rapidly. This increase Is
regarded as an index Of the revival OF
business in the lumber industry generally.
and shows also the growing use Of
national forest resources by the public.
The contrast between the amount and
value Of timber sold during the last six
months of 1909. and that sold during the
corresponding period in 1905 is marked.
The figures Just received are for most Of
the national forests in Oregon and Wash
ington. and they show timber sales of
over 100000 feet, or nearly S114,O00.
during the last six months Of 1909. This
compares with sales Of about 1900, 600
feet, or a total Of $4,000, during the same
period in 1908.
The local officers of the department are
much pleased with the fact that the de-
mand for national forest timber Is in
creaslng so decidedly. The prospects for
the coming six months are regarded as
promising. even better than that realized
in the period just passed. This increas-
ing timber sale business opens the way to
management Of the national forests along
the best lines, by permitting the removal
of over-mature and decadent timber
which has practically come TO a stand
still in point of growth, and allowing
replacement Of these trees with a fully
stocked stand Of rapidly growing young
trees.

NEBRAsKAN SLABS
ALDRICH IN FACE

Lincoln, Neb., July 29-It was Shall
lenberger's convention from start to
finish. This Is the way democratic
leaders, who returned from Grand
Island this morning, referred to the
democratic state convention. The gov
ernor they say, did not lose a single
point. He swayed the convention
through party organization at will.
Followers of w. J. Bryan are sore,
very sore. They feel that their chief
was not accorded the treatment he de-
served at the convention. They resent
the Interruptions he received while ad-
dressing the delegates. There Is
great deal of bitterness over the result
of the convention. Democratic leaders
of both factions fear that it may not
down during the present campaign.
One Of the things that is causing much
comment today is that fact that Gov
ernor Shallenberger refused to permit
the delegates to vote on the Metcalfe
plan. Metcalfe had given a copy of it
to the governor with the request that il
be handed to the resolutions committee
The governor promised, he says, to
comply with the request. When the
committee failed to report on it, Met
Calfe announced that he had given 1t to
distinguished gentleman" DIR. Bah
cock. member Of the committee, then
arose and declared that it was not pre-
scented to the committee
A Fistic Encounter.
Just how bitter feeling ran among the
delegates after the convention was
shown when J. NJ. Devine slapped c.. H
AldriCh, candidate for the republican
nomination for governor, in the face.
This followed a remark made by AL
driCh in reference to the anti-county
option articles written for Omaha pap
ers by Devine. Aldrich asked him If he
had received any pay for them. w. J..
Bryan gave out the statement here this
afternoon, in which he said he would
devote his efforts to have candidates
for the legislature on the democratic
ticket elected who were pledged to vote
for county option. Although he was
badly showed under at the Grand
Island convention he says he will con-
tinue the fight. His resolution, which
he urged the convention to adopt, read
as follows: we favor county option
as the best method Of dealing with the
liquor question"

Resolutions as Adopted.
Grand Island, Neb., July 29.-The
arrangement of the present republican
administration is a strong feature Of
the platform as it pertains to national
issues. 1t strongly indOrses the last
national democratic platform and the
present state administration and con-
tinues:
We congratulate the party upon the
widespread revival Of democratic SEN
timent, which gives promise of demo-
cratic victory. We see in the passage
of the present tariff law an example
to subserVienCy of the republican ad-
ministration to the privileged interests
Of the country.
I'VE congratulate the country that
democratic opposition has thus far
succeeded in defeating the iniquitOuS
ship subsidy.
I'VE recognize in the many excessive
rates on such favored products as steel
wooden goods, rubber, lumber and
others, the return which the republic
an politicians are making to the plum
dering trusts for campaign Contribu-
lions two years ago.
I'VE condemn the president for sur
rendering to Aldrich and Cannon the
control of tariff revision, and for using
his patronage to force unwilling con-
gressmen of the republican party to
accept their dictation.
we QeplOre the presidents FOLLY and
weakness in surrounding himself with
a cabine Of trust advisers.
I'VE favor the conservation Of the
national resources OF the country and
condemn the policy under which fav-
ored capitalists and political syndi
Gates secure control of water power
coal mines and other sources or the
nations wealth in the states and
Alaska, unrestrained and apparently
favored by the present national admin
istratiOn.
I'VE condemn the president for re-
tanning in his cabinet the close friend
and former attorney for the powerful
and INSCRIPTIONS syndicate caught in
the very act of plumber
I'VE join the democrats everywhere
in pledging the party to the cause Of
tariff reform, economy and simplicity
in government, trust prosecution and
the ratification OF the income tax
amendment. We have confidence that
upon national issues and in an ATTACK
on national evils we snail receive tie
cooperation and support of the inde-
pendent voters and Niu a sweeping vic
tory in Nebraska"
Many of the laws passed by the last
legislature are individually indOrsed
and pledges of additional laws for the
good of the commonwealth are made
Local and state campaign commit
tees are pledged not to accept con-
tributions from railroads, trusts,
brewers, distillery or saloon or anti
saloon organizations interested in de-
feating or securing legislation.
