THOMAS RAE.

Thomas Rae was, staunch. true,
loyal gentleman. He was q factor
fer good. His weight and influence
were always on the side of right. Com
ing to. the country a-poor Scotch lad
nc. fired with ambition and alive
.Rish energy. he carved for himself 9
name and fame much to be envfed'
Non might disagree with him, but
.tbeE always respected him. His hon
sesty was ingrained. He was q. militant
lnilriatian: !, He might be cOmpassiQn-
ate, With the sinner, but he hated sin
wherever. 1T showed its ugly head and
he fought 1t without gloves. ! He was
/. waaely concerned with the problems
OF ibis adopted land. He did what
TOO few people; DO. he thought. Judge
Conner tells us that when he was in
congress- the first man among all his
constituents TO write him concerning
that rate legislation which is now q
part of our national law, was Thomas
Rae. He had great administrative
ability and he gmade a success of all
that, he undertook. He loved his coun-
trv and he loved the land of his birth.
The traditions of the land of BObbie
,R.Mns and Waiter Scott were ever
alive In his breast. He was a, good
,fFtcnd, 4 fond father. a faithful. hon
I eat man. The Review has never had
asmore ,discriminative reader. He was
ready with his criticism when he felt
that criticism was needed. but he was
ijuat as ready with his praise. He was
one Of the readers whom one kept
IN mind when writing. for one knew
that he wpuld read. not with his eyes
,al0no. but with; his brain. The county
id the poorer that his earthly course
] is, run. we shall miss him as friend
% an Intelligent and; helpful citizen
. Is an always reliable stronghold fol
all that made for good. Knowing him
since our childhood we feel that an
other OF the ties that binds US to the
past has been taken from us. He was
contemporary with. and was one of,
tho great men who made this county
and stamped it with the seal Of intel
liGcnce and progress. The good that
be has done will live after him and
.ho will long be remembered as one
Of tho stalwarts, one of those who
stood out among their fellows and
Upon whom the acid Of time etched
'ru marks save those Of honor. This
would have been & better county and
better state and a better world had
NO. had more men like Thomas Rae,
!. and he could leave no. better monu.

TRADING AZ HOME.

Years OF experience as a newspaper
man have convinced us that continued
appeals to loyalty to home merchants
c;arc in vain and beside the mark. Ev-
.terS man agrees with the argument,
hut each nan feels. when he sends
!. away that his. casesis exceptional.
II, lust 50 long as people feel that they
: can get Better goods for less money
J: through mail order houses. just SO long
1 Min the country be depleted Of cur
rency to the enrichment OF tho city.
], There Is but one way for local mer-
:, chants to cure the people of tho mail
order habit.
: They must make people feel that 1t
: il to their personal and pecuniary ad-
!; vantage to trade at home. That ig
! what counts.
a. There are but two ways for the mer.
chants to DO this.' First. to sell sat
iatactory goods e. satisfactory prices,
4 and, second. to let all the people know
about It. Preaching and fault finding
will not DO the least bit Of good.
Of Denison have adopted the policy we
have suggested. Our big mercantile
bovaes are fighting for trade as they
never have fought before. They are
jim sharp competition with each other.
They carry big stocks and they are
pnsbing their wares into every nook
snd corner Of this trade territory.
They are having special sales and bar
3 gain days and special features of all
kinds. They arc themselves building
up a. large mail order business. People
of other towns have discovered the
fact that Deniaoh j. Il good town in
which to buy. tnet the merchants are
not In combination, that prices have
hccn cut and that tbty can get better
satisfaction by trading with big
house in Denison, wear at home. than
With biz house in Chicago.
We relieve the ,n.il order business
in this community is decreasing. Not
30 much money il being sent away
this year. The reason rs not to be
found in increased patriotism or in,
creased loyalty. but in increased con-
tidence that il is not necessary to send
away from home TO get the worth of
@mie'a money. The merchants of Deni-
soD arc on the right track They have
tho goods ct the right price and they
arc making 4 strenuo1fs campaign TO
.Iei all the people know about it. This
is the kind Of competition and oppo-
'sitiop which will make the Chicago
may order concerns look to their
lAoGeis.

NEWS FROM BIRD CENTER.

Our big brothers of the daily press
are! very fond of pOking fun at the
country papers and especially at the
rural correspondence, but we leave
lit to our readers if anything funnier
fhas come out of Podunk than the re-
ports of the EARRING" party from Bird
Center, beg pardon, we should say
Lincoln Center, Kansas. The CORE
spondent who has been filling the col
umns of the dailies for the past week
lis evidently lady of refinement and
culture who was suddenly aroused
Iron her placid knitting by the start
ling demand, "Send one thousand tar
ring daily" Associated Press. We
can imagine that it took quite neigh
borhood caucus before the missing
words" penetrated. Then came the
task Of supplying 1000 words daily.
The correspondent rose to the Oc-
|casion nob.y She seen her duty and
Ishe done. it. The "bent and broken
Ibailiff,"' note the ALTERATION, was good
for twenty dearly priced words; the
attitude Of the accused, some Of whom
looked straight ut their tryers" and
some of whom did not. was worth fifty
words. Not since the days of the be-
loved Pickwick, when the fatal "mut-
ton chops and tomato sauce" caused
such an upheayal in the court, has
there been more touching episode
than that of the now famous Kansas
lead pencil. We quote from the col
umns of the Register and Leader:
'ttWhile Mr.. Hawkes. was talking, a
bailiff brought a telegram into the
room for Mary Chamberlain. She had
no lead pencil to sign the receipt and
the bailif seeing Sheriff. Clark hold
ing pencil in his hand, borrowed it,
MARY moved over within few feet
lof Clark and signed the blank. Then
she handed the pencil back to the bail
lift and he passed it to Clark. But no
thanks was rendered Clark by the
girl"
The jury and many of the spectators
caught the incident and they observed
it closely. Clark appeared somewhat
frustrated by it and when the pencil
was returned to him he gave close at
tention to sharpening it carefully and
at length"
This is a masterpiece, not word is
missing, every word that could be
fused has been used. Score ia words,
to be flashed over the wire, re-layed
to an hundred waiting newspapers and
|given in evening, morning and special
|editions to hungry world. Modern
journalism has scored another tri-
umph, the superiority of the daily
press, Is emphasized and the weekly
papers that report the 'quiltin and
huskin'" bees will please take the
seats in the rear kindly reserved for
them. Let us hope, too, that the jury
has disagreed So that the order for
one thousand per may be continued
and the dear lady of Lincoln Bend
be thus enabled to buy some real nice
Christmas presents for the folks.

Gap in the Scenery.

When Speaker Cannon and former
Congressman j. Adam Bede, Of Min
nesota met at the capitol they fell into
discussion of the recent Republican
defeat in the Congressional elections.
"No importance to it, F." said Bede, en-
phatically. ''It's just like the accid-
ent that happened to the Northern Pa
cific out in Montana when the road
was first built and before Montana was
we'll settled. The telephone line was
MT through and the people of st. Paul
used to wait until the trains came in
to learn the news along the line. One
day landslide occurred in Montana
and train finally reached st. Paul
three days late. They asked the con-
ductor what was the matter. ''Oh,
nothing important he said. Half a
mile of the scenery out in Montana
fell down. "-Ex.

UNCLE TOMS LETTER.

Butterfly, your Uncle Tom thinks
your last letter is too contemplate for
intelligent people to notice except to
condemn. I'd be ashamed to insult
folks and then try to pose as a chris
tian gentleman or lady. Ranger"
gave us very good picture of these
Pharaseeical hypocrits, who worm
themselves into the church and among
good people in order that they may
rob, scoff and mock the poor of the
land. You are guilty of scoffing and
mocking the poor without doubt, be-
cause one T. J. Brannan, of Tracy
City has had the courage to show up
the ungodly, inhuman and brutal
treatment of the poor by people posing
as christians. these souless, heartless
beings, Butterfly, who can curl
their lips with scorn at the poverty
and misery of the masses and laugh at
their calamity The internal regions
never produced meaner set than the
Pharaseeical and hypocritical set who
thank God they are not like other
fol ks, but are willing for the poor to
eat of the crumbs that fall from their
table, only they must not aspire to a
full loaf. Such people may be able to
conquer for while longer the aspira-
tions of the poor for whole loaf and
BY scabbing and black Logging and ira
ducing them every way possible, de-
stroy their union and rate their lead
ers as anarchists, but the day will
come when God will hear the cry of
the poor, and the world will reel and
rock as a drunken man. Then there
will be weeping and bowling sure
enough, and you people who rate the
poor as crazy, lazy and without will,
will be undeceived. Then you'll real
ize that the poor have will enough.
You can mock and insult now, but
your Uncle Tom has an idea you'll re-
gret what you've said about the poor
of Tracy City. For thirty years I've
known the people of Tracy City, and |
frankly say the majority have labored
when opportunity offered and fortune
has not favored them, and today they
are poor and in hard luck, and it's not
their fault, but as Mr.. Brannan says,
the conditions under which they have
labored is the cause.
Now, Butterfly, if you get skin
ned alive, you needn't be surprised.
You threw the first rock.
