A great many people who think of goodness as a means to an end, do not think of it as being like strengthen riches. These three things are just equipment for something else. What is inert goodness, dormant strength or idle riches good for. Goodness itself is Of no more worth than these other things of themselves. Man wants to be good because he wants to be ser viceable; he wants to be strong that he may overcome obstacles; he wants to be rich that he may not only be se- cure but promote good works A great many people can tell what they believe better than what they know, when be- lief is inc stepping stone to kno7vl- edge, and it is up to every one of us to know whereof we speak.

THE MAN WHO TALKS

It is pleasant to wish all readers of this column a Happy New Year, al- though we recognize that the year will be no happier than they make it. There are sorrows and trials which produce heartaches for which they are not re- sponSible and which they cannot help. Grief is an unbidden guest and should he as soon dismissed as possible, for 1t bodes no good to man. Trials are in almost every days experiences and should be left where they originate, for, carried forward, they soon become a burden. The how and the why of many things in life are past finding out, and we soon learn that it is not necessary to find them out, for they better he left right where they were met. Disappointments are not half as serious as we are prone to thinll-we survive them all, and we should do it better if we took them stolidly instead of seriously. What can't be cured must be endured," is a maxim worth cherishing as a help to better condi- tiOns. We should keep our hearts right and not bear down upon our selves.

I found it the other day among my treasured notes and if it never was referred to before in this column it should have been, for it merited acknowledgement She was impressed with the thought that l was sometimes melancholy and suggested it might be well for me to learn to sing. T can brave the widest storm with His glory in my soul. I can sing amid the tempest. Praise the Lord!" In her conclusion that human nature is about the same the world over' she was in perfect harmony with myself. It was eight pages in length and filled with cheerfulness. She said she was not in the habit of writing to people sine did not know and thought it might be very embarrass- ing if we did find her out" We haven't tried to find her out, but she may be pleased to think the letter has been kept so long.

GOVERNOR
BENSON is
ALL RIGHT
is IMPROVING RAPIDLY AND 1T
WILL ONLY BE A FEW WEEKS
UNTIL HE is ABLE TO RESUME
HIS DUTIES.

San Francisco, Aug. 22.-Dr
George d, Culver, the physician In
charge of Governor Frank w. Ben
son, of Oregon, today issued bulle-
tin, denying that the governor was
afflicted with cancer. DR.. Culver's
bulletin is as follows:
Governor Benson is improving
rapidly. His change the last month
has been most remarkable and with
the steady progress at the present
rate 1t will not be many weeks be-
fore he will be able to resume his
duties. AS his general condition
was not good at one time, his local
trouble, which is not cancerous, bu.
is a less severe local infection of the
flee, did not improve. as It should
but since his general condition is
very much changed for the better,
the local condition is making rapid
progress toward a cure"

Washington, Aug. 22.-Another
step in the reported attempt of the
administration to relegate Speaker
Cannon to a less important place u
the councils of the Republican par
ty, it was learned today has been
made by the Republican congress
sional campaign committee For the
first time in many congressional
campaigns Cannon has not been as
signed speaking dates by the COM
mittee.
Republican leaders say Uncle
Joe's services are not wanted be
cause of his avowed attitude on in
surgency which he is prone to ex-
press in his speeches. His attitude,
they declare, in his addresses in
Kansas, and the results in Kansas
and the charges and counter charges
stirred up there are sufficient to
show the leaders that insurgency Is
a good thing to let alone.
It is reported that Taft and his
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1910-08-22

political advisors, after studying the
results in Kansas, Iowa, California
and other states, have concluded
that the less said about insurgency,
the better.
The campaign will be a tread
lightly" affair, as far as insurgency
goes, it is said, none of the regular
leaders desiring to raise the issue
any further than it has already been
stirred up.
That Speaker Cannon could not
take the stump without expressing
his views on the Republicans who
did not conform to his idea of party
regularity is so firmly believed that
the congressional committee will
not put him on the stump.
Politicians here, forecasting the
result of the Speakership fight in
the next congress, following the an
nouncement of Representative Long
worth that he will not vote for Can
non, believe that another presiding
officer will be chosen. The deser-
tion of Congressman Smith, of Iowa,
who is a candidate for Speaker him
self and of Congressman Humphreys
of Washington. it is believed, indi-
Gates that it is impossible for Can
non to be reelected.
