Moral Over Children.
The peasantry Of Greece firmly be-
lieve that the future Of every child Is
determined by the three flutes. known
by the name Of tho Moral. In the
popular mind this trio Of fates are
supposed to be three old and wrinkled
women whose hnbitation Is noun

Of honey cakes, bread and wine are

future may be one long. sweet song.
the superstition being that all things
good and bad are In the giving of the
fates.
On no account must the child's
beauty be alluded to when the Moral
are present, as this will certainly make
its good looks disappear. Marks on a
baby's skin IRE looked upon as sent by
these harbingers Of veal or woe.

the children who cut their upper teeth

Foolish New York Politicians.

The politicians in control of the republican state committee of New York have again proved their pea nut size, by defeating Theodore Roose- cit for temporary chairman of the state convention It is customary in New York for the state committee to select the temporary chairman of the convention, and this custom has en- abled these professional politicians to show their unfitness for leadership.
 That they are not the leaders of the party has been demonstrated over and over again in recent years. in every conflict they have had with Governor Hughes in a contest before the people. By combining with the democratic party they defeated in the legislature the governors efforts to secure a direct primary law, but this victory for machine politics is only temporarily to their advantage. The people of New York state are aroused and win sweep the machine leaders of both parties into the gutter, and a direct primary law will be enacted by the next legislature. Thereafter the people will rule.
 To have made Roosevelt the chair man of the convention would have been to acknowledge the supremacy of the reform forces that are led by Hughes, Roosevelt and Taft, these three leaders having pleaded with the fellows in control of the machine to pass Hughes direct primary bill.
 By serving notice on Roosevelt that his help is not wanted in the coming campaign, the machine leaders have perpetrated the most colossal blunder of all their silly performances.
 Roosevelt is not a bolter. He is a sincere reformer, and he has the good party has shown itself equal to every responsibility, and that genuine re- form, sane reform, reform on the lines of constructive statemenship, can be best achieved by the republican party and by working in the republican party.

LlFE'S COMMON THINGS.

The things of everyday are all so sweet, The morning meadows wet with dew: The dance of daisies in the noon; the
 blue Of far-off hills where twilight sha-
 dows lie, The night with all it's tender mystery
 of sound, And silence. and Gods starry sky! O. life-the whole life-is farr too fleet, The things of every day are all so
 sweet. The common things of life are all so
 dear, The waking in the warm half gloom To find again the old familiar room, The scents and sights and sounds that
 never tire, The homely work, the plans, the lit
 of baby's laugh. The crackle of the open fire: The waiting, then the footsteps com
 ing near The opening door, the handclasp and
 the kiss, Is heaven not, after all, the now and
 here? The common things of life are all
 so dear.

The Authority of Lincoln

Madame Roland with barred neck, looked upon the Statue of Liberty and her gaze having swept the red guillotine and the clamorous, blood thirsty crowd. she exclaimed, "Oh. Liberty, what crimes are committed in thy namei"
 We may paraphrase this thrilling apostrophe, "Oh, Lincoln, what fal- lacies are promulgated in thy namei"
 It has been the fashi Dn of political quacks ever since time hallowed and made more sacred the memory of the Great President to invoke his name and misquoted or manufac tured words in support of every ism" that hair -brained cranks and demagogues have ever conceived.
 We recall that the democrats a few years ago when the trusts" was the paramount issue" quoted widely a prophecy which Lincoln never ut tered in which he was alleged to foresee the time when trusts and corporations would control the nation. That was a purely manufactured dec laration. It is needless to observe that no man could have foreseen the changes in our commercial and finan- cial affairs necessary to adjust them to conditions of which there was not then the slightest sign.
 endeavoring to prove that Lincoln was for the initiative and the refer endum. His sentiments with respect to the initiative and the referendum are supposed by these simpletons to be expressed in those famous words uttered at the dedication of the Nat ional Cemetery at Gettysburg, Novem- Der 19, 1863: "A government for the people. of the people and by the people" The words of Lincoln had no reference to any danger of the subversion of such a government It had existed from the beginning and survived at the successful conclusion of a blood war Such a government sustained by patriots could never perish from the earth"
 The government that Lincoln loved was the representative government that had withstood the stress, and that has since not "perished from the earth" though assailed by cranks, so cialists and populists. Nor will it perish now.
 MT. Bryan, General Weaver, Senator Peffer and all populists, large and small. have found in the mutilated speeches and papers of Lincoln sup port of every species of political in sanity.
 So. religious cranks of all times have found in scraps from the Sacred Book authority for setting up the most ridiculous religious systems. You can prove anything by the Bible" is an old saying So you can prove anything by a dictionary and so can authority for any false polit- teal system be found in the detached or fabricated utterances of Lincoln.
 When government for the people, of the people and by the people, was uttered the concern of Abraham Lin coin was not with the loss of pop ular liberty. He was concerned sole ly with the binding of the nations wounds. His words were of congrat- ulation that the government had been saved: not of remote fear that it would be lost.

Under the Stars and Stripes.

The ballot law of Arizona requires that each ticket on the official ballot used at the election shall be headed by a distinguishing "vignette" or em- blem.
 The republican ticket in Maricopa county this fall will have as its em- blem, the American flag.
 It is peculiarly appropriate that for this election which is to take place on the 18th of September. this ticket should be headed by the Stars and Stripes.
 This ticket will be supported by the citizens of Maricopa county who stand for the continuance of the American system of government. It will be opposed by all the elements that stand for tearing down the Am eriean system. It will be opposed by all the clements that propose to raise. over the ruins of American govern ment. the red flag of socialism.
 It would have been impossible to select as the emblem of the American party in this campaign, any other de- vice so appropriate as the Stars and Stripes. No other emblem would so typify what the republican candidates stand for
 They stand for a constitution foi Arizona which will admit of the full est development of the state and for the fullest prosperity and happiness of its inhabitants. They stand for constitution that will be in harmony with the highest ideals of American citizenship-a constitution which will set Arizona on a high pedestal in the esteem of patriotic Americans every where. A constitution which will guarantee to every citizen the pro- lection of law, and a constitution which will assure the admission of the territory into the Union.
 It is altogether fitting, then. that this ticket should have for its em- blem the Stars end Stripes-that flag, the sight of which sends a thrill through the veins of every patriotic American in every land: the flag adopted by the fathers of the repub- lie: the flag that had its first bap- tism in blood at the battle of Brandy wine, and was followed to victory at Yorktown; on Lake Erie; at New Or leans. and at Gettysburg. and on a hundred hallowed fields of the civil war, and to victory at Manila and Santiago.
 And it is fitting. indeed. that the forces that are in this county arrayed against the principles that the Stars and Stripes stand for should be gath cred under the red flag of socialism
