The Duck vs.. the Hen.

A duck which stuck faithfully
to business durin the summer an d
laid several dozen of large, fawn-
colored eggs complained that she
wasn't appreciated. "See that
hen over there" said the duck,
"she hasn't laid as many eggs as
1 have, nor as big. but she has
books written about hcr aud vers-
es composed in her honor, while
nobody is saying a word about
me-" "The trouble with you is"
said the wise old rooster that was
standing near, "that you can't tell
the public what you have done.
You lay an egg and waddle off
without saying a word, but that
sister of mine never lays one with
out letting everyone in the neigh
borhood know about it. If you
want to cut any ice in this COM
munity you must learn to adver-
tise. Exchange.

IL seems now to be the business
of Democratic newspapers TO show
that there is division and discord
among the members of the new
Republican State Committee,
though the eminent citizens com.
posing that committee are not
aware of any such discord or lack
of harmony. Of course the Dem
ooratic newspapers aforesaid
know more about the views and
purposes of these Republican
committeeman than they them
selves know. That is character
istic of the Democratic press.

Hadley's Hard Hits.

In Chautauqua address at Ur-
bana, Illinois lately Governor
Hadley made many strong points
in his inimitable way. For in
stance:
"We must adopt legislation in
accordance with the crime" (of
monopolies and combines.)
Combinations produce a mon
opoly which is a power destruc-
tive to public institutions"
"If the duties OF public life are
taught in the right form there will
be less breach of trust in public
Office"
"The question of transportation
is most important to commerce
and vital to the success of human
efforts"
"We do not want government
control of railways nor the rail-
ways controlling the government. "
"Stop firing blank cartridges
and use the combines as we did
the Standard Oil Company in
Missouri.

Great is Harmony, and James A.
Reed is it's prophet!
Mr.. Reed asserts that James E.
Smith is no Democrat because he
did not vote for Bryan. ] do not
know about Mr.. Smiths position
as TO the presidential candidates,
but I do know that he voted for
Oowherd.
That makes him better Demo-
crat than many others in Missou,
ri. Roach, for secretary of state,
34s,1s6 votes. Cowherd, for gov
ernor, got 34O,077. This is an ex-
cess Of s,109 for Roach.
If these S,1O9 who voted for
Roach had also voted for Cowherd
we would have had "a Democratic
governor instead of Hadley.
Who jumped the fence? Was it
the Ball men? Ball is now for
Reed. Has he enough OF followi
ing to again wreck the Democrat

WHITElKIRN.

Mr.. Grover White OF Danville
and Miss Alice Kirn OF this city
were quietly married last Tuesday
evening, Aug. 80, at the residence
OF the officiating minister, Rev.
Fr. T. j. Aylward.
The bride is the oldest daugh-
ter OF L. A. Kirn of this city, and
is very charming and popular
young lady. She taught school at
Danville and Montgomery City the
past two years and has been very
successful in her vocation. She
was again elected to teach in the
school here this year, and we un-
derstand will continue her work.
The groom is a steady, indus
trious young man, and we trust
will make his bride hs happy as
she deserves.
They have the hearty congrat-
ulations OF many friends.

1t is an amusing spectacle to
observe how rapidly Democratic
politicians are rushing over the
state lines to get away from the
discussion of the outrageous
gerrymander of the congressional
and senatorial districts of Mis-
souri,. They evidently cannot
truthfully defend or justify the
districts of this state and In order
to get away from the question
they are rushing over into Illinois
and other states to find compari-
sons. The fact remains that many
of the state senators and repre-
sentatives in Congress are there,
not because majority of the vot-
ers want them there, but because
they are gerrymandered into the
positions they hold.

THE LABORER,S HIRE.

A laborer must earn enough to
support himself and his family ;
therefore, closely accurate idea
OF the living expenses in various
countries can be gained from a
knowledge Of the average wages
paid laborer in each.
The American laborer is the cap
italst of the labor world, receiv-
ing in the United States an aver
age of $1.s5 a day. The next high
est average is found in Australia,
where $1.60 is paid. In Canada and
the provinces $1.10 is the aver
age. Only in these countries does
the average wage amount to 81 a
day. Brazil and Chile each aver
age SOC a day. In Great Britain
and Ireland it is roc; in France
and Central Europe, Csc; in Ger
many, 55c; and in Austria-Hun-
gary, 4Oc. The laborers OF Spain
and Portugal earn only 35c day
while those of Italy and Malta
must be content with Csc. In the
Chinese Empire the average is 2oc
ana IN Japan IL 10 loWest VI All
only 15c a day.
Logically, one should be able to
live as we'll in Italy on an income
of S4O0 a. year as in the United
States on $28O0, and if man ir
Japan should receive the Ameri-
can wage, he should be able to get
along as we'll as the American
whose annual income is $5,000.-

Democrats can, with consider
able satisfaction, stand by and
watch the growing fight between
the Cannon and Roosevelt and
Taft forces. 1t BODIES i'll for the
Republican party, for none of
these distinguished gentlemen be-
longs to the class called cutters.
Let the fight go along merrily and
we shall not lose sleep on account
of it.-Columbia Herald.
The above editorial shows how
completely the average Demo
cratic editor and spell-binder mis-
understand the members of the
Republican party. The fight will
60 along merrily. The Repub-
licans always fight for their ideas
and they are not cutters. They
are thinking, fighting, independ-
ent citizens and no man, or set of
men can control them. They fight
among themselves when there is
no one else to fight. During the
dog days their family row is so
fast and furious that Democrats,
not understanding them, are al
ways sure sit is Democratic
year." The dog days are Demo-
cratic days of rejoicing, and it is
we'll that it is so. 1t keeps them

depended upon to reach conclu-
sions, by compromise, (or other
wise) and present a solid front to
the common foe on election day.
The Republicans will carry the
next congress-; will elect the next
speaker of the house and will elect
William Howard Taft President
again in 1912. They will do it be-
cause the great majority of the
voters of the United States approve
their principles and their legisla-
ton, notwithstanding the flood OF
Misrepresentation and misinfor-
nation scattered throughout the
land by irresponsible Democratic
orators and editors. Now is the
time for Democratic politicians to
shout and throw up their hats
and carry the country. The Re-
publicans--all of them-will be
on the job in November with the
usual results.

A New Swiss Mountain Railway

A letter from Zurich to Berlin Con-
tinental Correspondence describes
new Alpine route which is likely to
have great attractions for tourists who
prefer seeing scenery to passing through
tunnels. The writer says:
In these days a new link has been
added to the chain of Swiss mountain
railways, and one of exceptional I'M
portance for foreign visitors. The Ber-
nina railway, has been opened after a
four years period of construction. 1t
leads from the beautiful valley of En-
gadin over the Bernina pass to Welt
lin, and therefore connects the famous
resorts of st. Maurice and Pontresina
with Tirano. A special feature of this
Alpine line is the almost complete alb
sence of tunnels. BY a cleverly chosen
roundway and a succession of bridges
the drawback of Alpine traveling-the
many and long tunnels, with their heat,
smoke and bad air-has been complete
" avoided. We really get the fine views
of the higher regions, and are not in
closed in darkness where the scenery
is most attractive for the pedestrian

DANGLING A BUGABOO

~ AN FRANCISCO newspaper or
gans of the machine have reached
~ the limit of puerility when they
lug the tariff into the state campaign.
In their desperation to avoid touching
on Herrin and the Southern Pacific and
appeal to party sentiment they are ac
cusing Hiram Johnson and William
Kent of being free traders. Their proc
ess of reasoning is this: Insurgents are
against the Aldrich law, therefore they
are free traders. Johnson and Kent
admit they are insurgents, therefore
they are free traders. Being free trad
ers, they are therefore enemies of pro-
tected California industries. Therefore,
if elected, they will do all they can to
ruin California industries.
If as the machine organs say, it is
unsafe to elect either of these men it
must be because, if elected, they would
get together and by unanimous vote
of two repeal the Aldrich law. Or
maybe they would set up a rebellion
and abolish all custom houses in the
state. Or their hatred Of California in
dustry might go so far that they would
run amuck and cut down our lemon, fig
and walnut trees
When Eugene Field wrote, "The Cob
lin Will Catch You if You Don't Watch
Out" he wrote it for children. We
don't believe he ever had a thought
that California papers would ever SER
iously sing it to grown men in the hope
of carrying a political campaign.

logical survey to collect statistics of
the building operations by character
of buildings and also by additions, al

buildings Figures reported from 12S
cities in the United States for 1909 gave
details showing the kinds of buildings
erected. and the additions, alterations
and repairs to each class of buildings
under 264,536 permits at a cost of
1908, 1856, 1854, the new buildings consti-
tuting 903 per cent of the cost, and
the additions, alterations and repairs
81 per cent. OF the cost of these new
buildings, 1924 per cent was for fire
resisting buildings and 26,76 per cent
was for wooden buildings. OF the to-
tai cost of additions, alterations and
repairs, 65.55 per cent was for fire-re-
sisting buildings and 34.45 per cent was
for wooden buildings. The average
cost in 1909 for new wooden buildings

DR. e. C. MOORE, whose brilliant
work as superintendent of the
- Los Angeles city schools has at
tracted wide attention and at the same
time endeared him to Southern Califor-
MIA, leaves today for Mexico and thence
he will proceed to New Haven to ac-

her prominent citizens, a leader in pro-
gressive work along both educational
and civic lines. He has shown those
qualities of mind and heart that win
at one time the love and respect of
his fellows, and these qualities, coupled
with his excellent service as head of
the public school system, cause the
more poignant regret at his leaving.

privilege of numbering him among her
citizens and deeply mindful of the
gratitude she owes him for his up

Our Grand Extravaganza
Lsntnrdnv Evenlng Postl

Saturday L
1t is quite the current fashion to de-
nounce extravaganza and We always
aspire to be fashionable A farmer has,
say, $1,000 in the bank, He might buy
cows, raise calves, and thereby increase
the productive wealth of his commun-
ity but he elects to buy an automo-
bile. His $1,000 goes out of the com
munity and all he has to show for it
is machine which. if he uses it merely
for pleasure, produces nothing that can
be measured in dollars. If he then
chooses to buy cows he must borrow
the money, and $4,000 of the community's
total cash capital is used with the
same productive result as If only $1,000
had been used.
But glance at another and larger
peration-namely, the great boom, or
recovery, in stocks during 1908. a
single stock, Union Pacific, advanced
$75 a share. In March the total COM
mon stock issue was worth, roughly
$500, 900 900; in November 1t was WORTH
roughly, $350,000000. This increase OF
$3.50, ,000, 900 in market value added not
penny to the productive power OF the
railroad. The railroad itself was eX-
actly the same $1,000 worth of cows in
