FURTHER ALONG.

Tempted and tried, we're oft made
to wonder,
Why it should be thus all the day
long,
While there are others living about
us,
Never molested, though in the
wrong.
Chorus.
Further along We'll know more
about ii;
Further along We'll understand
why;
Cheer up, my brother, live in tile
sunshine
Wen understand il all by and by.
When death has come and taken
our loved ones,
Leaving our homes so lone and so
drear,
Then do we wonder why others
prosper.
Living so wicked year after year.
Often | wonder why | must leave
home;
Go in the rain. the cold and the
snow,
While there are many living in
comfort,
Giving no heed to all can do.
Faithful till death" said our low
ing Master,
A little while longer labor and
wait;
The tolls of the road will seem to
be nothing,
As we sweep through the beauti-
full gate.
Wen stand in the presence OF
Jesus our Saviour,
And hear the glad music ring
through the sky,
Wen meet all our loved ones gone
on before US
Wen understand il all by and by

go into the East till the Roosevelt

talk wanes. Some wicked thinkers are
sion OF Roosevelt's availability is kept
alive fer very distinct purpose.
Strange things are done in the intense
game of national politics and, per-
haps, one should not say there is no
truth whatever in statements about
the philosophy of the Roosevelt boom.
Every little while ii is asserted anew
that n declaration of candidacy may
be expected from, Senator Cummins of
Icwa. Those who say that, however.
may not remember that Presidential
candidates do not often step out into
the open and declare their ambitions.
Even Senator La Toilette has not, but
he has allowed others to do 1t for him.
But Senator Cummins is still very
wary man and he knows better than
get into any Presidential fight, where
practically all the advantage is with
men already afield. His friends are
willing that the country should not
forget about his eligibility. In fact.
there is a great deal of this friendly
mention of men for the Presidential
office. A name gets some prominence
by that kind of procedure and the ad-
vertising is generally very desirable
from every point of view.
incidentally it is worth noting that
that the talk of Justice Hughes has
ceased altogether There was hardlf
any more reason for the "let up than
there would be in the case OF Roose
Welt, perhaps. But more will undoubt-
edlY be heard about the wisdom OF
nominating Hughes as the winter
passes. Some one will start it again
and the comment, pro and con, will
rage for few days with all the ac-
comraniments of conjecture as to
whether he would accept and wheth-
er he would not accept.

over the ex-President and although
they did pretty we'll at it, appearances
are that they failed.
The friends of the eX-President the
country over, all the way from Maine
to California, are very numerous in
deed and they are enthusiastic friends,
too. But careful men are still saying
that the Roosevelt agitation is tempo
rary and that Tafts denomination is
growing more certain, every day. AT
least, that is the way.it looks at Wash
ington, for there are several reasons.
which naturally are not exploited by
the politicians at this stage, why
Roosevelt can not be renominated. OF
course, every word and attitude and
deed of the ex-President at this time
is watched for a possible significance.
The mention of his name an connection
with another term is undoubtedly
very pleasing to Col Roosevelt He is
in the thick of things again and his
name is possibly more on the lips OF
people at this juncture than that OF
any other American, bar none. But as
has often been reiterated, this is prob
ably the most that the ex-Presldent
desires. He does not discourage it be-
cause he likes it. When it actually
comes down to giving him another
nomination, however, it is a very diff
ferent matter.

procession. The Speaker Clark boom
is trying to get organized and has a
good start at last in an agreement
with the Folk people out in Missouri,
10 hold a primary to ascertain wheth
err Missouri will endorse Clark or
Folk as her favorite son. There is
probably no doubt that 1t will be
Clark in Missouri. although the fight
is hot and the Folk supporters are
circulating documents that show the
Speaker as having endorsed the Folk
Presidential boom. only two years
age. Ny My, politicians ought TO be
careful how they write Presidential
endorsements a year or two in adj
vance.
Anyhow Wilson. Clark and Harmon
are all there is tC the Democratic sit
uation at this stage, but there is
much maneuVering. Democrats big
and little are making many moves
in many quarters to get recognition
and advantage. That is the reason for
so much stir alike in Washington and
New York ut this iuncture in the cold
month OF January. The advocates and
champions cannot be expected to be
still. yet even though their particular
faVorite candidates may be dropping
far behind There is too much of g
gamble in politics to permit of quit
ting early. Opportunities for getting
something are too rich.
OF course Democrats are proceeding
on the theory Gas they always do in a
Presidential campaign) that by some
slip up they may win. In case OF vic
tory the unsuccessful candidates for
nomination would be coming around
for recognition from the new admins
tration. Consequently it is part of the
game to make as hard a fight as one
can. in the hope of some other reward
for having been in the running.
on the Republican side, the La Fol
lettc boom is quiet these days. very
quiet. The senator is back in Wash
ington attending diligently to his sem
atolial duties at the Capitol. He still
asserts that he win journey into the
East in due season-to New York,
Massachusetts and Maine. But no
dates are fixed for the peregrination.
As has often been pointed out and as
the La Toilette people themselves we'll
understand the Roosevelt agitation Is
very fatal TO them. AS long as the
talk of nominating Roosevelt wells
up With any strength, the La Toilette
boom makes Roadway with great diff
fculty and, in fact, seems to be sub
siding. It is doubtful if such an astute
politician as Senator La Toilette will

Did you know what these words
mean? Can you use them intelii-

You will find these words in very

dictionaries are old. They are, how
ever, in the Webster's New illustrated

procure so valuable book at such a
small price.
There has been no ebb in the tide of
