me cat is whinin st the door,
The dog will whimper, too, ere long;
An undertone of winters roar
comes In the breeze's treetop song;
Bare boughs are lifting here and there,
The afternoon dies in a haze,
A subtle warning thrills the air
1t gets late early nowadays
The whistle of the distant train
Is shrilly chill across the miles,
The children's shouts are very plain
And sudden in the silent whiles
or this calm, lazy autumn time:
All unexpected on their ways
The glinting stars begin to climb
1t gets late early nowadays.
The clucking chickens seek their rest
The street lamps flare out in surprise,
The drifting clouds against the west
Clean with a myriad gorgeous dyes
Inc maple leaves turn richer gold,
The woodbine has a crimson blaze,
Ihe grape-leaves crumple up and fold
1t gets late early nowadays
A sense of sadness. and content:
mingled sense, that makes Us ask
What time the dancing summer went
And whence this dull, half-mystfc mask
Inc day draws on--this comes to us.

unto ourselves we murmur thus:

FIGHTING A BATTLE
WITHOUT AMMUNITION

President Taft has set out wage
war on the democrats and insur-
gent republicans for their efforts
at tariff revision during me extra
session. He rharacterizes these
attempts as dealing with the
public interest "in lighcd-hcarted
way and with absolute ignorance
of the effect Of the legislation and
with willingness to sacricfie
business interests to political
exigencics.'
But it is like fighting a battle
without ammunition. President
Tafts criticism may create sound,
hut it will have no killing eff, CT.
The cold, penetrating logic of the
situation is with the democrats
and insurgents.
The president says the tariff
must be lowered. So say his
opponents. the democrats and in
surgcnts. On that both sides are
agreed. But when profession is
put to the test IF deed. how does
it work out for each? Tie allies
pass revision laws and Taft vetocs
them, his excuse being that the
hard conditions should continue
until such time as his tariff board
shall deem it proper to make a
report of their findings. He
thinks that ali tariff wisdom will
die with this board, while the
allies are confident that the people
will die with tariff opprcss ion be-
fore TIE board will ever nncork its
wisdom.
Tariffs were n*Gc and unmade
before the idea of this board was
ever conceived, ard the country,
not outstanding. increased both
in wealth and population. A
chance for immcdiater relief from
schedules admit ted by every one to
be too high was seen Ivy the dem
ocrats and insurgents, and they
took advantage of it. Their
action was disapprovcd by the
president, but it is unducstion-
