It makes us tired to read President
Taft's message to Congress on the
conservation of our natural re-
sources, and recommending that
steps be taken toward protecting the
coal and timber lands of Alaska and
the West from capture by the mo-
nOpOlists and timber and mineral
land thieves, so soon after he had
dismissed from the public service the
honest and faithful men who, in spite
of his regulation to protect the
thieves about to steal, under sane
ton of some of his leading officials,
these very mineral lands and water
powers. In dismissing CLAWS and
Pinchot he laid himself open to the
charge of Henry Watterson, that he
WAS the enemy of honest men and
friend of thieves"
But they say he was obliged to
discharge these men to save his face
and the edict he had issued to pre-
vent such information leaking out
from subordinate officers. Yet, the
people of the country would have had
much more respect for him if, in
stead of firing honest and faithful
public servants, he had abolished the
edict that would protect the thieves

An Experience at Hull House.

Even death itself sometimes fails to bring the dignity and serenity which one would fain associate With old age. recall the dying hour of one old Scotchwoman whose long struggle to keep respectable" had so embittered her that her last words were gibes for those who were trying to minister to her. "So you came in yourself this morning. did you? You only ~ent things yesterday. l guess you knew when the doctor was coming. Don't try to warm my feet with anything but that old jacket that I've got there; it belonged to my boy who was drowned at sea nigh thirty years ago, but it's warmer yet with human feelings than any of your confounded charity hot water bottles' Suddenly the harsh gasping voice was stilled in death. and I awaited the doctors coming skaKen and horri6ed.-Jane Addams in Amer ican Magazine.

Jungle Housekeepinq.

The negro housewife in the West Indian jungle finds housekeeping very easy. Fruit and vegetables grow wild all about the hut and the river a bounds with fish On wash day all she has to do is to pick few of the berries of the soap berry tree. take her clothes to the river and use the berries as she would use ordinary sonp. Even her cooking pots grow np the trees, the calabash cut in halves being used for this purpose. CalahaSheS are used also for bowls, basins and jugs for carrying water from the river, while the small ones make excellent cups. In the afternoon. when she is ready for her cup of tea, the negress picks half a dozen leaves from the lime bush growing at her door. boilS them. SquecZcs the juice from sugar cane for swcetening and the cocoanut sup plies the milk. Thus she has dcii- cious cup of tea without depending on the grocer for it. She makes the mats for her floor out of the dried leaves of the banana, plaited and sewed togeth- CT as the old country people in this country make their rag mats.

Fear.

Fear causes more disease than do microbes, more deat as than famine. more failures than anics. It costs more than war, is always failure and is never necessary, said medical man. Fear weaken's the hearts action, in- duces congestion. invites indigestion. produces poison through decomposing foods and is thus the mother of auto- poisoning. which either directly causes or grr.'.s aids in the production of quite !s, per cent of all our diseases.

The present high cost of living is
quite problem. As means of
solving it salaried people want their
wages raised. This, however, would
not help the .,tuation ultimately, be-
cause If the cost of manufacture and
transportation is further increased
the manufacturers and the railroads
must again raise their prices and
rates and we would be back again to
where we started. A tangible ray Of
solution has been suggested by Mr.. w.
G. Brown, president of the New York
Central railroad, in the current issue
of the Independent, wherein he points
out that the remedy for the present
high cost of living is to get more out
of the land. I'VE have been failing
lately in agriculture says Mr.. Brown
During the last ten years our farms
have produced an average yield OF
wheat amounting only to fourteen
bushels to the acre. Mr.. Browns
idea is the right idea. What Is need
ed is to make two blades OF grass
grow where we are growing only one
now.

FROM DIES MONIES TO KEoKUk.
Boat to be Launched Which viii ply
Between the Two Cities.

Des Moines Tribune: Commercial
navigation on the Des Moines river
will be opened Saturday when Will
liam yiggers launches with due cere-
mony the Golden Eagle, trading
boat which he has been building for
more than eight weeks. Mayor James
R. Hanna will be master of ceremon-
les and Miss Edith Viggers, grand
daughter of the builder, will christen
the boat by breaking bottle of wine
against it's side. Mr.. Viggers says he
will ply between Des Moines and Keo-
kuk trading along the way. His boat
will be able to navigate in most any
portion of the river, even at low stage,
because it draws only fifteen inches
of water with a twelve ton load and
only six inches with 100 persons on
board. The boat is forty horse power.
Mr.. Viggers has been resident of
Des Moines for many years. He is an
old river man and is a stationary en-
gineer.

sOf all the farces claiming to be a

he might be, would stand but little
show of capturing nomination under

show to Republicans that Democrats

cratic Judge of election at the recent
primary as stating that to his knowl-
edge a large portion of the Democrats
who voted called for Republican bal
lots. The News believes the law
should compel every voter, when he
receives a ballot, to declare himself
member of the party whose ballot
he calls for, and that judges of cleo

Waverly Independent: The river
bed for half mile down stream. be-
ginning fifty rods below the bridge,
has yielded big returns for the labor
expended. For the past month five
men have ben engaged in clam dig
ging in that part of the river mention
ed, and last week finished their work,
which shows that sixty-fve tons of
shells have been gathered. These al
SIG per ton, which is the lowest price
paid, makes the product worth $1,000.
As some of the shells sold at larger
figure, the receipts are somewhat
greater. In addition to the amount re-
ceived for the shells, a number OF
fine pearls We're secured, and, basing
an estimate on their value by the
prices paid for a few that have been
sold and offers made on others, they
are worth at least $500 This would
bring the total up to s1,S4o, which is
very satisfactory to the men for a
months work.

They do not assess these old members

they assess them at the rate they

THE IOWA ELK,s BAND.
Elks From This State Object to Nam

Fort Dodoe

Fort Dodge.
Des Moines Capital: Now that it
has ben definitely decided by Iowa
Elks to take the Fifty-sixth regiment
band of Fl. Dodge to the national re-
union at Detroit next week, the COM
mittee on arrangements of the state
association is receiving requests from
all parts of the state to see that the
band represents the entire state and
not Fl. Dodge. With these requests it
is pointed out that at Los Angeles
last year Ottumwa got the credit for
having the band, as the Fifty-fourth
regiment band was taken to the ma
tional meeting there by the state dele
cation.
| There is no sentiment against FIT.
| Dodge. but the Elks believe that, in
asmuch as every Elk in Iowa pays his
share toward the expenses OF this
band, that the entire Elk body of Iowa
! should get the credit and not the in
dividual city from which the band
comes. Although it cost Iowa Elks
about $4,000 to take the Fifty-fourth
regiment band to Los Angeles they
say that Ottumwa got the credit. As
a result the Elks wish precautions
A taken this year to give the Iowa dele
i cation the credit, and they have ask
ed the committee to see that it is
known as the Iowa Elks' band and not
as the Fl. Dodge band.
About one hundred Elks from Des
sioines will attend the reunion. They
will leave here Saturday night for Chi.
cago, where they will join the Iowa
delegation, which will travel in spe-

Fratcrnal nFreezinn OUT

Salem News: The New Bedford
Standard speaks of the freezing out,

too much of it, and it spells ruin for
some of them. The Arcanum was a
shining example of the freezing out
process five years ago, and the Work

The reason is that, after members
have been in these organizations for
thirty or forty years and got along
where they are too old to secure in
surance in a regular insurance com

and load them down with assessments,
intending to drive them out and take
advantage of all the money these old.
