Around my path the leaves are softly
falling
Their whisp ring seems to say
That angels from the spirit land are
calling
Loved ones from earth away.
The mournful autumn wind seems sadly
signing,
A dirge above the dead,
And all the bright-hued leaves are slow
ly dying
For summers joys are fled.
The sparkling brooklet dances as it
splashes,
Over the pebbly stones,
And onward flows to where it ever
In deep and solemn tones.
And, as it murmurs on, it gives us
warning.
Despite its merry tune;
Life is not always bright and fair as
morning,
Or as the golden noon.
My merry waves, though now so gaily
flowing,
Will soon be cold and still;
And so, we all, your way are swiftly
going
Forever uOWn lie Dlll.
We listen to the brooklets gentle warn
ing,
Then lightly go our way,
Forgetting thoughts which came to US
at morning
Before the close of day.
And still the mournful wind seems sadly
signing
A dirge above the dead,
And all the autumn leaves are slowly
dying
For summers joys are fled.

litical result of this attempt at murder
ought to be the election of Mr.. Roose-
welt. There were thousands of men in
this country who frankly said that they
did not know how to vote in this mixed
up campaign Many of them would not
have voted at ALL That bullet has
struck something in them which forces
a new issue and they have decided. 1t
is hard for us to see how so many intel
ligent men lack the vision to see what
is coming in this country. If the cyni-
cal government of the old parties is to
continue nothing can stop the wave of
Socialism which will assume its worst
form the faster it grows. 1t will grow
faster and faster because the plain
people will see no hope for the things
they desire in any continuation of boss
ridden and conservative government. "
The Progressive party offers progress
not the radical intemperance of the
extremists, but fair beginning along
the road which our people desire to
travel. The election of Mr.. Roosevelt
will satisfy the vast majority of our rad
ical element and stop the growth of rabid
Socialism as nothing else would. The
leaders among that rabid element see
this, and it is why they attack him so
bitterly. That bullet has simply cleared
the issue for thousands of us.-The

LETTER FROM S. D. HASKELL

To the Editor Of the MiddleJury Register:
Dear Sir:-I wish briefly to say to my
good old Vermont brother voters, that

their votes November 9TH for the Theo-
dore Roosevelt electors and that large
number of Democrats will do likewise
so that there is no possible sholo for Mr..
Taft, who should withdraw his name to
save his honor and the Nation. There
fore, sincerely advise my Vermont
brothers to vote the PROGRESSIVE Repub-
lican ticket. have all confidence and
faith in the moral integrity, patriotism
and wisdom of Theodore Roosevelt. /

ton today to take home to his par
ents asking them TO attend the lee
ture on teeth and health which will be
given at the high school assembly

SYNOPSIS OF TALK.
Following is a synopsis of DR.. Buck
ley's talk:
This lecture deals with facts. The
great men of the past century who
lived to a ripe old age were those who
possessed "a sound mind in sound
body" and it will be shown that the
individuals today who expect to ac-
complish the most in life, must learn
that il is not as much in the cultiva-
ton of additional body strength as in
the economy of what we already pos
sess that the art of physical culture is
best applied. A sound body is abso,
lutely essential to the greatest success
in life, and the lecturer will show how
good health can be obtained, in large
sion.

That the problem of health is one Of
interest to the individual is under

lecturer will prove by statements bas
ed on facts, obtained here in Illinois
that the conservation of the genera
health OF the people is a matter o
community interest, having an eco
nomic and sociologic value.

disease. How the disease is produce
