Australia recently commemorated
the one hundred and forty-first ami
versary of Captain Cooks grst land
ing. 1t was in 1910 that H. NJ. 8. En-
deavor, a barque Of $40 tons, entered
the inlet first called Sting Rays Har-
Dor, but afterwards Botany Bay, from
the beauty and variety of the plants
growing about it's shore. The vessel
remained eight days, and before she
left the British flag was hoisted. AS
Is the custom on each recurring ami
versary, the flag was again unfur1ed
upon the spot where it was first dis
played, and was saluted by the guns
of the warships in the harbor.

Exact Copy OF Wrappei
The Old GAG.

Miss Lillian B. Rowe, at an adver-
tisement writer's dinner in Denver,
said of the harem skirt:
ct will soon be SO widely worn that
the old gag, perpetrated in the '40s on
men, may profitably be revived for
women victims.
Some sharper, you know. will re-
vive the gag by advertising in the
Ladies' Own
"'Send 81 and learn how to keep
your harem skirt from becoming
fringed at the bottom
Thousands of dollars will pour in,
and to each victim the sharper will
reply
Wear knickers.'"

the adoption Of the reciprocity treaty

Of how responsive to the will of the
people the English system of gov
eminent is, in spite of the form of
monarchy that goes with it. Royal
ty is such in name only, and serves
ornamental purposes exclusively.
Such government is better than
one where the form is republican
one, but where the will of the peo-
pie is twarted and the spirit Of dem
ocracy is denied direct expression in

The U. S. Senate has passed a cor

limits the amount that a congress-
man may spend in the election to
$4,000 and U. S. senator at $40,
900. 1t also requires that all prom
ises of appointments must be pub
lished before election. Wouldn't it
be entertaining reading if such law
were in force and lived up to see
how many were promised the same
job in each community -:
In our humble opinion anyone
promising a political appointment
to anyone before election on con-
dition of such of election is just as
much guilty of bribery as if cash
consideration had been offered. And
anyone offering the same job to two
or more parties when only one can
get the job is guilty of just as dis
reputable conduct as if he had OBJ
tanned money from someone under
false pretenses. 1t is surprising
how easily people will condone such
deceitful methods in politics where
they would never excuse it in an or.

Urges New Party.

The July number of Everybody's
Magazine contained a communica-
ton from Connecticut subscriber,
which we believe sounds the right
keynote:
81 admire your stand for several
reasons. One is because you recog-
nize sin and the need of morals. An
other is because you do not bow the
knee to party. You hit several nails
on the head, and hit them hard. Are
you ready to get right down to the
bottom and propose the only cure
81 believe there are two great rea
sons why we are in this awful condi-
ton Of interior oppression and cor
ruption. One is because our best
people are divided politically, and the
other is because each Of thesolds par
ties has large and active immoral
constituency which is really united
and acting in harmony with the same
element in the other party.
There is one thing for us to do
and that is to hammer into the minds
Of the people that the better element
must unite in 9 new party that shall
hold a moral standard and that shall
promise and deliver perfect govern
ment. .
Every political subdivision should
have the best element united and
running the government.
No political party can give good
government unless it is a unit for all
things that make for liberty and the
protection Of life, liberty, and the
pursuit Of happiness. You can not
get good government out Of party
that IS divided on questions of NOR
ais. on can not make good ice

Discussing the prospects for the

DDS are past. We all know that wa
ter will reach it's level. The water
has been drained out of the auto

I think some manufacturers have
not yet come to a full realization Of
the fact that they can build too many
cars. They are apt to find 1912 a
very hard season before they are
through with it, every manufac-
turer must realize that for every
thousand Of population there is only
a certain percentage of men Of
enough means to buy motor cars"
"The automobile has taken firm
place in modern civilization. There
will be a demand for them just as
there has always been q demand for
horse drawn vehicles. A conserva-
tive production Of good cars should

The clergy will soon enjoy again
the half fare rate, that is ~ cents
per mile as formerly. If a 2 cent rate
is confscatory, as Judge Sanborn
claims it is, how will the roads man
age to exist under a 1112 cent rate?
And how can clergyman conscien-
tiously accept a favor that he knows
will put the road into bankruptcy
St Peter Free Press. .-l -.
If the above is true, it proves the
truth of the assertion that the rail-
roads did not restore the three cent
rate with the idea Of increasing their
revenue, but for the purpose Of dis
elimination. If the railroads think
that they are going to secure the
support Of the leaders of thought by
granting special privileges, they are
mistaken. They will find that the
people are pretty much of a unit in
demanding a square deal for all.
