Social.

The social given last evening
on the Presbyterian church
lava by the Christian Endeav-
or was a great success bot', in
attendance and sociability. The
Japanese table was presided
over by Misses Bess Bisbee and
Ruth McGavren, who wore
Japanese costumes. The deco
rations were also symbolical of
Japan. Misses Emma Green
and Name McDermott, dressed
in Spanish costumes attended
to the Spanish table. The
Gypsy table was in charge Of
Misses Pearl Myers and Keitha
Littler, both of whom were
CARRIED in gypsy dress. Misses
Ruby Hopkins and Sayde

Judge Thvs. Arthur, of Lo-
gan, was in Avoca, Wednesday,
attending to some court mat
tiers. The Journal-H Herald &C.
nowledges a pleasant call. The
judge and the writer became
acquainted twenty-five years
ago, when the Judge was a
young man and manager of
the Logan ball team, zone of
the best" ball teams in the
state. The same as in politics
the Judge was always on the
opposite side from US and we
were compelled to fight him
and his team-but to play
against such boys as the Judge
had gathered around him was
a pleasure, and if the Judges
decisions on the bench are as
square as the dealings we had
with him for two and a half
years, those who go into court
with cases that are brought be-
fore him will have no cause for
complaint. We managed to
dick his team on every &C.
casion but one, and the Judge
and his hoys took the "lickings''
honorably and proved them
selves to be men, with whom it
was an honor to meet. off the
baseball field as we'll as on.

son, who in this little town now
is completing a $4,000 hospit-
al for general practise, has
credit for the suggestion that
the steam be connected with
the water system, so that if
the water-pipes ever become
infected they may be sterlized

eral store, and a timers help

ers. The town boasts that ev-
cry laborer who has lived in
the place five years owns a
home. and that Uncle John
never has lost a dollar on many
risky securities. Women's
club meetings have time for
Keats and Browning and the
servant problem never needs to
be discussed. In the neighbour
hood there are a number of the
Amish sect whose daughters,
as a matter of religious princi-
pie, will do the homework and
mind the baby for ten cents an
hour or So a week or less-nev-
err more, and though their par
ents may own a $4,000 farm,
these servants treat you as an
equal. At one end of town is
a public playground, which in
winter is flooded for a skating

as this is stimulating education.

Political CITATIONS.

Political IlratOi1S.
1t is pitable to see a great
man in the agonies of death.
1t is, we suppose, no harder for
a great man to throw up the
sponge than for a common one,
vet when a man lnoses his life,
in trying to ride two horses at
the same time, one going east,
the other west, it looks harder
for such a one to meet the de-
stroyer face to face, and die
like a true hero. We are lead
to these reflections when read
ing the political action Of Sena-
tor Cummins in his double &C
robatic stunt, on, the treaty be-
tween Canada and the United
States, as proposed by Pres. w.
H. Taft, and now before Con-
gress.
We have always beer an ad-
mirer of Senator Cummins, but.
our faith is somewhat shaken
in his leadership when we see
him trying to favor the Repub-
lican administration of Presi-
dent, and at the same time an
tagonizing one of the name
measures in the Taft Admins
tration. Is he for the Canadian
treaty is the question of the
hour. We do not find fault with
Senator Cummins because he
does not support Mr.. Taft, but
we doobject tohis claiming tobe
a Progressive" while using his
influence to help the Stand
|patters" to defeat the Presi-
dent of his own choosing. He
ought to be either "Pig or Pup"
When we speak of his dying,
we do not refer to his temporal
but his political death. His fall
is of that kind that brings de-
feat in political life, and leaves
the once favorite leader with.
out his accustomed followers
a pollution without a party, a
condition of many a great man.
That Mr.. Cummins is man of
ability is not to be denied, but
great ability without real STAN
ina is a misfortune, and moth
ing in a pollution is more to be
admired than true courage to
stand for the right through vic
tory and defeat.
Senator Cummins seems to be
on all sides Of the. Canadian
American Reciprocity treaty,
and when it becomes a law, as
it surely will, what will be his
standing in his party, or with
the great mass of the people?
1t is about time that the Re
publican party define its true
position on this Taft Treaty.
1t is not enough to say you
are aRepublican that does not
define any political opinion.
The time has passed when that
term settles the question. 81
am Roman Citizen" was once
conclusive, but that day has
passed, and like sayinc,, 81 am a
republican does not coun4. One
says: 'I'm a Stand Patter," an.
othe says: 'I'm a Progressive,'
while another claims to be a
Republican, but who is the old
"Simon pure"is the question. Is
w. H. Taft a Republican, if so
can a man oppose MIR. Taft and
at the same time be Republi.
can? If so, why not support
VIM. j. Bryan and at the same
.ine be a Republican, if not,
