BE A BOOSTER.

Do you know there's lot o. people
Settin' round in every town.
Growlin' like broody chicken,
Knochn' every good thing down?
Don't you be that kind OF cattle.
Cause they amt no use on earth;
You just be a booster rooster.
Crow an boost for all you're worth.
If your town needs boostin'. boost 'er;
Don't hold back an wait to see
II some other fellers willin'-
Sail right in. this country's free;
No ones got a mortgage on II,
It's just yours as much as his.
II your town is short on boosters,
You get in the boostn' biz.
II things don't just seem to suit you,
An the world seems kinder wrong.
What's the matter with a boostin',
Just to help the thing along.
Cause if things should stop a-goin'.
We'd be in a sorry plight,
You just keep that horn a-blowin',
Boost 'er up with all your might.
II you see some Teller tryin
For TO make some project go,
You can boost IL up a trifle,
That's your cue to let him know
That you're not a-goin' to knock 1t,
Just because it amt your shout"
But you're goin' to boost a little,
Cause he's got the best thing out"
II you know some feller's failin's,
Just forget 'em. cause you know
That same fellers got some good points
Thems the ones you want to show.
Cast your loaves out on the waters.
They'll come back" s a sayin' true.
Mabbe they'll come back "buttered,
When some feller boosts for you.

The inquiry to be made by the

The resolution Of inquiry directs the

try, and by what authority they neg

JEFFERSON'S MAXINIS.

A monument costing 100000 is
to be erected in Washington in hon
or of Thomas Jefferson. The sage
of Monticello wished to be known as
the founder of the University of Vir-
ginia and author of the Declaration
of Independence. He was also the
advocate of certain principles of gov
eminent which he expressed as fol-
lows when inaugurated president of
the United States on March 4, 1901:
Equal and exact justice to all
men, of whatever state or persua-
sion, religious or political.
Peace, commerce and honest
friendship with all nations, entang-
ling alliance with none.

corn growing can be understood when
it is stated that the Kellogg Toasted
Corn Flake Co., of which he is presi-
dent, has an output requiring 10000
bushels of corn day, raw product,
for it's manufacture. A peculiar
feature is that while the Kellogg
product is made exclusively from Sc
lected white corn, the Kellogg trc-
ply has been won each time by a
yellow corn exhibit. The trophy is
offered for annual competition until
won twice by the same grower.
The National Corn Show at which
the award was made, was an event

happen that the former senator AL
drich might communicate with Sen
ator Penrose, the new chairman of
the finance committee, and thus the
titular head of the senate majority
might have tho benefit of the views
of the ex-leader (and possibly lead
er de facto) of the United States
senate.
AS a matter of fact Mr.. Aldrich
keeps in close touch with all the re-
dictionaries, just as he did while Of
tically a senator.
Taft Antagonizes PrOgressives.
President Taft took the leading
part in the fight against giving the
progressive republicans of the scr
ate the committee places they de-
manded, which fight resulted in leav-
ing all the big senate committees the
same citadels Of special, privilege that
they were in the previous congress.
Before the republican caucus was
held the regular republicans of the
senate signed an agreement by which
they agreed to give the progressives
a one-fourth representation on all
the committees. Senator Penrose,
who signed the agreement for the
regulars, is said to have bitterly ar
:aigned his regular colleagues for
putting him in the position of break
ing his political word, which he de-
clared he had always especially
prided himself upon keeping in
violate.
1t now develops that Penrose's
breach of faith with the progressives
was forced by white house pressure.
President Taft considers progressives
like LaFollette his personally en-
emies, and he does not want them in
a position to assist in bringing about
the passage of legislation like the
farmers free list bill, which they
could do by combining with the
democrats if given the representation
on the big committees to which their
numerical strength entities them.
Schedule 'K" is Next.
Schedule X, the joker-filled wool
schedule of the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law, will be the subject of the first
cratic house.
All the jokers by which rates have
been piled one upon another until
the total has been far in excess Of
100 per cent are to be abolished.
Likewise there will be abolished
the infamous provisions of the Payne
Aldrlch law, by which material con-
tanning wool, but really made Of cot
ton, is taxed as wool. The average
reduction on all items in the wooden
schedule is expected to reach at
least % per cent.
What the democrats propose will
cause q tremendous cutlery from the
WOODEN trust and it's allies. the pro-
ducers Of raw wool, and will nc
doubt provoke men like Warren, of
Wyoming. Lippett, of Rhode Island,
and the other high protectionists of

fall of the nation.

Our Washington Letter.

(By Clyde H. Tavenner, special
Washington correspondent for The
Reporter.)
Washington, May 6.-That re-
dictionary republicans in the senate
are lying in waite for the farmers
tree list bill and other progressive
legislation passed by the democratic
house is becoming more evident
every day. The obvious motive is
two-fold, to protect the monopolies
and profits of the tariff trusts and tc
prevent, if possible, the democrats
from fulfilling promises made to
the people.
The group of senate tories is still
able to exert a tremendous influ-
ence upon legislation. Having packed
all the important committees OF the
senate with men who take the same
attitude toward the particular legis-
lati6n to come before them that the
big corporations take, the reaction
aries are in position to continue
serving special privileges by OBJ
structing the passage of measures
desired by the people.
Among those whom the public
may safely rely upon to oppose
most of the progressive house meas
ures are Gallinger, omoOt, Lorimer,
Guggenheim, Stephenson. Lodge,
Oliver, Warren, Perkins and a
dozen others, who will at all times
have the hearty cooperation of Vice
president Sherman.
Back Of this group of reaction
aries are arrayed the tariff trusts, the
railroads., Wall street, Standard Oil
anc the belance of the organized
wealth of the country.
Pitted against this combination
are the democrats and the progress
sive republicans. The latter forces
will, when necessary, undoubtedly
combine to prevent the passage of a
bad bill, but they will be helpless at
times to prevent the Tories from Oh
structing the passage of progressive
house legislation such as the farm
ers' free list bill.
About the only thing the average
citizen can do is to keep tab on the
votes of his individual representa-
tives in both house and senate, not
ing particularly whether they vote
for or against legislation desired by
The people, and when election time
rolls around to act accordingly.
