When all the Christmas lights are out
And trees have lost their fruit so rare
As silent grows the joyous shout
That rang amid the scene so fair
We pause and marvel at the lot
Of folks that Santa Claus forgot.
The world is wondrous big and filled
With throngsof people great and small
20 generous hand, however skilled,
Could possibly content them all.
No Christmas comes when there are not
Some folks that Santa Claus forgot.

The good old saint has left behind

And carry sun me to each spot
Where dwell the folks that he forgot

Conservation Of Beauty.
From the Chicago Post.

If the bureau plan is adopted by Con-
gress there will be many nationai parks
esta h,ished in the United States, but even
if the number appears formidable the
land set aside will be comparatively
small Much of the mountain count y is

little service for anything else Com
nercialism is not the only thing to be
served. Conservation includes other things
than gold, silver. oil and timber. Natural
beauty is a fine thing to hand down to

Indianapolis, Ind. Sept. SO.-A care
full canvass has been made Of the

not politicians and would have no in
centive to falsify the situation. The re-
piles showed that IN every county in
the state. with one exception. there
had been q marked decrease In the
Roosevelt sentiment. The'opinion was
universally expressed that the Third
Term candidate had fewer followers
now In Indiana than at any time since
the campaign opened and this number
was steadily decreasing. A few OF
these reports summarized follow:

THE TIDE HAS TURNED

From the Paterson, N j., Press.
1t is apparent that the turn of the
tide which has been generally expect
ed, in favor of the reelection of Pres
ident Taft, has set in all over the
country The Third Term movement
is rapidly waning. and the testing pro-
cess of Governor Wilson in the cruel
BILE Of public opinion is proving a dis
tinct disappointment to the Demo
critic party.
No impartial observer of the politi-
cal situation now believes that Roose-
velt has any chance of winning, and
It is apparent that the Democratic
standard bearer has made a great mis-
take in adopting the cry Of death to
the protective tariff as his slogan.
So manifest is the turn Of the tide
toward Taft that the Democratic lead
ers have ceased to regard victory for
their party as a sure thing.

LOSING IN NEBRASKA
Progressive Party Will Die Before
Election Day Comes Around.

Reports from Nebraska show that
the Roosevelt sentiment is decreasing.
The Third Term party" says one

us dwindling down to Pops"
James H. Clark of Hastings, Neb.,
president Of large company which
handles investments, securities and
farm mortgages, and who has excep-
tional opportunity to know the feel
ing among the farmers, says that in
Nebraska the farmers are beginning
to realize that If they followed Roose-
yelt they will land nowhere, and il
they allow a Democratic president to
be elected. they will be ruined.

party had difficulty in securing even

A BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
President Taft Has Given Good
Government to the People.

From 1882 to 1893 the ordinary ex-
penses of the federal government In
creased at the rate of about per cent
a year. In the succeeding decennial
period they increased about per
cent a year Under the presidency Of
Mr.. Roosevelt the annual increase
was almost per cent. Mr.. Taft has
not only stopped this annual increase,
which has so long seemed inevitable,
but has actually brought about de-
crease. Under Mr. Roosevelt the or
binary annual expenses of the gov
ernment grew. from about S471 100000
to s662, 900, 900, an increase Of $751;
900, 900 in seven years. Mr.. Taft has
reduced them from $6s2,O0O,OOO to
1864, 900, 900.
We talk a lot about economy in pub
lie Affairs. Isn't It worth while to
stop a moment and give credit to q
president who has actually done what
we have all been saying ought to be
donef
