Determined to Have
Foreign War.

Some Of the highly protected and
favored and fostered interests are
seemingly determined to force this
country into war with some foreign
power. Some of the interests have Sc
lected one country to fight; some an
other, according to their own selfish
designs but all of them are united in
wanting to bring this about before the
presidential election, hoping to force
Taft before the country as a success
full war president and kind of warlike
lord
1t was given out from Washington
Saturday that the government would
supervise the coming election in Cuba.
On the same day 1t was given out in
Washington that the United States
will intervene in an attempted revolu-
ton in Santa Domingo. While this is
going on the Guggenheim and Rookie
Teller interests are putting the thumb
screws on the president to make him
do that which will practically amount
to a declaration of war with Mexico
and other corporations and trusts
want the fight pulled off in Nicaragua,
In the meantime IL these marauders
can be STAYED Off until after the presi-
Dental election. there will be no war.

The Department
Of the Interior.

bling over the inaction of the interior

at government expense to Hawaii. 1t
seems that the assistant secretary can
not be moved out of the even tenor
of his way either for the regard OF
the people whose interests are hung up
in his Office, or for the president who
is losing many votes because of the
indifference of the land office to the
public business. 1t is said that Gar
field, as secretary of the interior. was
far more satisfactory to the West. Al
any rate, under him the business OF
the department was transaced and now
1t is almost impossible to get any
thing done.
From the very first President Taft
has been singularly unfortunate in the
interior department. But after his dis
graceful experience with Ballinger, he
is inexcusable for the present situation
and its inevitable effect upon his ad-
ministration.

the country. Were an extra session of
congress called, these effective cam
paigners would have to drop their work
and go to Washington. They would
lessen their own chances for re-elec-
ton and detract from Wilson's chances.
In a lesser degree this is true of the
Progressive party. These spectacular
politicians have some members in
congress who are liable to get them
selves reelected and who are making
things uncomfortable for the regular
Republicans in their states. The pres
ident may think it good politics to call
these men in even at the risk of bring
ing on bloody and expensive war
nth friendly neighbor.
However, it is rather late for Presi-
dent Taft to help his waning cause by
a real or feigned war policy; 1t Is only
six weeks until the election.

Fall Weather
In Florida.

There are many fine winter resorts
and there are still more desirable sum-
mer resorts in this country, but Flor
ida stands unrivalled and alone as a
place where the climate, the weather
and all conditions unite to make II
ideal, all the year round.
Fall of the year is specially de-
lightful in Florida. Here we have one
perpetual Indian summer. 1t is still
sufficiently warm for the bathing and
the occupations of surf and lake to
be attractive and it is cool enough
to make fishing. hunting and field
sports enjoyable. There are few fall
fevers in Florida. It is healthy here
twelve months in the year. This is
natures sanitarium in October and
November as well as in January and
February.
People all over the United States
who are coming to Florida to spend
the winter for health or for the sheer
pleasure that living in Florida brings
should come earlier in the fall. Many

Is This Courage
Or Obstinacy?

Various stand pat newspapers all
over the country continue to pirate OF
the bravery" and courage" of Presi-
dent Taft in vetoing all the construc-
tive acts Of congress and even for veto
ing the appropriation bill to save his
commerce court.
In vetoing the various acts Of con-
gress reducing the tariff on different
commodities and making the cost OF
living less, the president reversed his
own opinion and the verdict of the
convention that nominated him. He
was elected on a platform that prom
ised tariff revision and, in his public
speeches, he declared this meant re-
vision downward. His change of heart
seemed to come only after the pro-
tected interests put the thumb screws
on him.
Perhaps this is more obstinacy and
pig headedness than courage and
bravery.
Many of his official acts during the
past few months resemble those Of a
man who. knowing his course is con-
demned by practically the entire coun-
try, wants to defiant1y defy the whole
nation and punish it for its opposition

Speedy Completion
Of the Canal.

News dispatches indicate that work
on the Panama canal will be prose-
cuted with unusual vigor this fall and
winter with the view OF having the
ditch sufficiently completed to permit
of ships going through early in the
year 1913. 1t is said to be the ambi-
ton of President Taft to have ships
running through the canal at the close
of the administration.
1t is most worthy ambition and few
people viii be unwilling to grant to
the president the pleasure and honor
of having the canal built during his
administration. OF course a vast
amount of work remains to be done
c. the canal, but it is sufficiently near
complete as to be nearly ready for
use.
It is difficult for the citizen who has
not visited the istamus and looked at
this marvellous piece of engineering, to
realize fully the vastness Of the work
= is vast almost beyond comprehen-
sion and the most marvellous feature
of the undertaking is that no obstacle
however serious, has materially re-
tarded the progress Of the work and
not a breath of scandal has arisen
from the administration of the work
of construction.
Whatever else may be said of the
administration of President Taft, witn
its failures. its disappointments. its
makeshifts, it's scandals and its subter-
fuges. the digging of the Panama ca
nal. one of the biggest things in his
tory, has been accomplished within
this period.
No wonder the president wants the
ditch dug by next spring. The digging
of the canal is about all in the way OF
construction and achievement the ad
ninistration has to show.
Nearly everything else connected
with the Taft regime is tainted. But
the digging Of the canal stands out
solitary and alone, a wonderful
achievement.

Much Politics in
Mexico Madness.

II is pointed out that aside from
serving the interests" by Intervention
in Mexican affairs. the exigencies of
the campaign might induce President
Taft to call an extra session of con-
gress with the excuse of getting the
advice of that body on Mexican mat
ters. There is no doubt that strong
pressure is being brought to bear on
President Taft to make him bring on a
war with Mexico. The heaviest Ameri-
can investors in Mexico are the Gug-
genheims and the Standard Oil Com
pany. John Hays Hammond, long as
ISOLATED with the Guggenheims. is one
Of the presidents closest political adj
visers.
But 1t is limited that the president is
not so very anxious to have congress
endorse plan to intervene in Mexico
as he is to call in the Democratic and
Progressive congressman from the
field. The Republican party is short
on campaign speakers. There is no
frantic rush of the populace to hear
Cannon. Aldrich, Penrose, Smoot, Gug-
genheim and Sherman. But the Dem
ocrats have scores and hundreds of
effective public speakers in the field,
many of them members of congress,
who are drawing immense crowds and
who are doing splendid work in their
own districts and in other parts of

earners will see too much, and writes
his article SO as to put a blind bride
on the eyes Of the workers, knowing
that it is so easy to fool the wage
workers, so he says ii is true what the
lady says but other places are paying
less. He does not argue, if a man
and family of five or more can or do
live on that sum. $4,000 a month, after
paying from $500 to $1,000 a month
for house rent, and with the high cost
of living, so per cent higher than it
was a few years ago.
Our county allows 80 cents a day
for each prisoner to feed him on. I
don't say it is spent on them, but the
wages we are getting don't allow half
that amount for the average family.

The Sunny Side
Of Life.

The Rev. DR.. Robt. Collyer, genial
and robust at 80, was recently asked
by reporter not merely why he has
lived to be 80, but why at that age
he is as hale and hearty as most men
are at 40, and he replied by giving
three simple rules of living:
Lead a natural life.
Eat what you want
Walk on the sunny side Of the
street,
These rules are simple, but they
may not be so easy to carry out as
they seem. Not all people are able TO
lead natural lives If they would. Not
all who have stomachs sound enough
to eat whatever they want have money
to buy, and not all who have money to
buy whatever they want to eat have
stomachs sound enough to digest 1t.
And not every mans way to work and
| duty lies on the sunny side of the
street
Yes, the pessimist always has argu-
| ments at hand.
Life has shallow places. and we
could not ignore them or get free from
them If we would. 1t would be foolish
to attempt to cultivate cheerfulness
| by denying the existence Of the evils
| which curse humanity.
To live naturally is to live not for
ourselves alone. Man is a social ami
NAL in his sympathies as well as in his
associations. It is on the shadow side
of the street that our sacredest duties
often lie.
But it is a good thing to remember
that we can do little in the dark places
unless we carry sunshine into them.
We can do little for the sorrowing I'M
Genuine cheer can be transmitted only
from cheerful heart.
1t is easy to have a smile for the
sorrows of others, the pessimist will
say, but our own sorrows are not so
easily gotten rid of. Well. that is not
true. Our own sorrows are chiefly of
yesterday and tomorrow. We borrow
them mostly of imagination and fear.
Real troubles are easily borne; it is
the imaginary ones that are intoler-
able.
/ A walk on the sunny side of the
street will dispel the delusion.
/ True, life has it's real tragedies and
it's pains from which there is no
escape. When death takes those we
love, or when disease seizes US. or
misfortune apportions us pinched
face and laborious old age, no maxims
about the sunny side of the street will
cause the sun to shine.
| But it is still true that happiness
] and discomfort are in the main a state
of the mind. Nine -tenths of the little
ills and worries would disappear if the
will were resolutely set against them.
Actual affections we learn to bear.
The crippled, the hopelessly diseased
and the poor have, since time began
taught us our best lessons in patience
and cheerfulness.
But unhappiness that comes Of alb
sorption in self fills the world with
doleful moaning.
1t is the gloom Of self-absorption
tat darkens our side of the street.
