pany is keeping up its record for
production, as this week it is
turning out ton an hour from
the small mill now on its prop

loaded out a car of zinc ore the
past week and will have another
ready for loading this week.
Thomas lakewood, manager
of the Eastman Inv Co.'S property
reports the loading of five cars Of
ore during the past week. This
property is making a fine show

The author of the bulletin is NJ. c.

purely a relative one, and in but few
cases should IL be taken literally.
There il no agricultural land in New
York state which is not claimed, and
IL seldom even happens that land is
sold for taxes. The term must
obviously be qualified. In certain
sections of the state buildings are
partially or wholly abandoned; in
Others the houses are abandoned as
homes. In some the barns serve
merely as storage for hay and a
few implements. Again, many
fields, and in a few cases entire
farms. have been abandoned for
farming purposes. No crops are
grown, little or no stock is kept;
weeds and waste have full posses

the land and buildings, pays the

A Democratic View.

For our part, we are inclined to
the belief that even now the one has
reached high water mark, that the
other has touched bottom; that, with
characteristic impetuosity and idola-
trous faith in himself. MIR. Roose-
welt has too soon made his bid for
national leadership. mayhap a third
term in the white house; that, with
a little more patience and a con-
tinued refusal to be drawn either
into quarrels or the limelight. Mr..
Taft Will, ere long. see the begin
ming of a return to that common
sense ON which the American peo-
pie pride themselves so vigorously
and exercise at such long intervals.
And this belief is based not on
what the two men have said, but on
what each has done. The Taft key
note is not an inspiring document.
II is not designed to catch the ear
Iof the grounding. But the person
who takes the trouble to wade
through it will find a summary of
work undertaken and accomplished
in accordance with platform pledges
that stamps the Taft administration
as an improvement in the matter of
results over the two administrations
Immediately preceding 1t and over
the great majority OF the admins
trations for which the Republican
party has stood sponsor. Its one
weakness is an ineradicable weak
ness, the conviction of a Republican
by birth, faith and training that pro-
lection is the best tariff system.
Even in that respect, however, the
document is not without evidence
Of possible growth in grace. The
president still declares that the
Payne tariff law Is the best ever
enacted but now admits that the
enactment of a better is required.
To this end he recommends that
congress make possible the revision
of a schedule at a time, such re-
vision 20 be based on information
furnished by the tariff commission.
1t is certain that, were Mr.. Roose-
welt in office. he would not be pre-
pared to go further; 1t is equally
clear, If their utterances represent
their actual views, that this is all
the insurgents are prepared to give
in the way of concession, should
they obtain control.

To Parents:
/ shall be at my office every day
next week, September 5-9, except
Saturday. for the purpose OF giving
entrance cards to children who wish
to start TO school. All children OF
school age &C years., and those who
may have moved to the city recently
should get cards Those children
who have regular promotion cards
need only present these to their
teachers at the opening OF school.
No child can be permitted to enter

about keeping their children In
school regularly as the compulsory
school law requires. The law was
amended by the legislature at It's
session in February. 1910. and all
children from the age of TO the
age OF 16 are required to attend
some school regularly during the
entire session. Parents who permit
their children to remain out OF
school are liable to a fine for SO
doing. The law is more than a
truant law, for Il reaches not only
the truant child. but the child who
Iattends school irregularly.
No child under fourteen 14
years of age can be given a permit
to work. The law forbids it. No
child over sixteen (16) years needs
a permit.

The conditions made by the Law
for getting a permit are as follows

of age. This must be sworn to BY
the parent.
2. The child must be able e

animation. The parent. or the guar

MR.. BEvBRaDGE's BLUNDER.

MIX. BEN EhuDGE . DLu4NDEh'
In a review of the Indiana Repub-
|lican platform, Immediately after its
adoption at the convention, which
endorsed Senator Beverage, We said
that the senator had placed himself
ia an awkward position with regard
to the tariff. and an article in the
Chicago Tribune. which is prOpa-
eating a Roosevelt third term boom,
bears out our prediction. 1t says:
Generally popular as was his
course in voting against the Aldrich
ltariff law, and in insisting upon i'm
lportant amendments to the various
reform measures advocated by Presi-
dent Taft, there is a certain element
in his own party bent upon his de-
feat. He had hoped to Offset this
loss by gains in the Democratic
ranks. but the Democrats seem to
be united as never before in recent
years. and inclined to cast practical
Ily a solid vote for John w. Kern"
The administration is not. as the
Tribune spitefully intimates, taking
hand in the fight; but, undoubted-
~. the senator's enemies in his party
are taking advantage of his antagOn-
ism of the national administration TO
hurt him with the "true blue" ele-
ment of hs party.
Senator Beveridge has been a
patriot in congress. though recently
allied with the erratic LaFollette,
who would rather be sensational
than right, and. no doubt, Interests
inimical to the people are willing to
back the Democratic candidate
against him, and in this they will
have the support of that faction OF
the Republican party, whose pros
perity depends upon the adversely OF
Mr.. Beveridge.
But the senator has brought this
on himself. He is running on the
wrong ticket; he is not a Repub-
llican, according to his own platform
declarations, and his antagonlsm tc
the administration, which was en-
deavoring to carry out prediction
lpledges. will be his undoing. II he Il
defeated. When he charged that the
Payne tariff law was entirely wrong
and demanded immediate revision
. he logically should have endorsed
the Democratic candidate and let Il
go at that. His piquant observation
that although he voted against ths
Republican tariff bill and oppose
