ADVICE TO WIVES


If he persists in eating dinner In
his shirt sleeves, III way to cure
him is to go to the table with your
hair down. This has been tried and
has never failed.
If he positively will not get up first
in the morning to light the kitchen
fire, let him buy his breakfast down
town. This is a sure winner.
If he will stay out late until after
midnight, follow his example and
forget to say where you have been.
Others who have tried this remedy
recomend 1t very highly.
If you want a $50 suit, pick out a
800 one and have 1t sent up to the
house on approval. He will come
across with the fifty if you will
promise to send the other back.

the cost Of production, or else the
government should so regulate the
mining Of coal SO that a decent wage
can be paid the men without adding
TO the retail cost.
There is good reason to believe
that the operators can easily AFFORD
an increase in wages to the men or
the present price of coal. 1t is
simply their greed for money that
causes them to refuse the demands
of the men unless the public make
up the difference. Under such high
handed methods it is time for the
people, through the government, to
show their power. This country
does not want another strike such as
it had a few years ago and the time
to prevent it is before it starts.
A firm hand at Washington could
easily bring the coal operators to
time in this particular and it is to be
regretted that we have no such a
person in power today.

FAME.

FAME.
Professor Archibaldus Mutt was
quite unknown to Fame until
He found t little microbe on a twenty
thousand dollar bill.
The papers used his portrait and the
lecture managers got wise
And signed him up for fifteen years,
agreeing that he was a prize.
Win this engagement had expired
with no more lecture dates to fill
Professor Mutt was not dismayed,
but Just went into vaudeville.
Bohnkus Jones, he pinned for fame.
Life sang for him a dismal tune.
And so he thought he'd try his hand
at getting up a piwer balloon.
He built the thing and advertised
that he was just about to fifty
Around the world, q wondrous feat
that no man vet had dared to
try.
He was profusely interviewed. His
name vas heard on every lip.
He went out lecturing and then from
time to time postponed the trip.
Whenever interest seemed to lag once
more he would prepare to soar.
He'd fly five miles and then come
back
and lecture for a yea or more.

trial development the questions
which now stir society to its
foundations would never have
forced themselves on public at
tentiOn. 1t Is the marvellous i'm
provement in the condition Of the
human race during the present

prominence and created the ne
cessity Of dealing with the evils
which in previous ages passed

inevitable. The very growth and
abundance Of wealth make the
inequalities Of it's distribution
more apparent. The standard of
conscience has been raised with
the standard Of comfort. The
conflicts between labor and CAPT
tai are more intense because
there is more to contend for.
Privilege slowly but surely re-
cedes before the advance Of
knowledge. The question by

heart of power and is no longer

Third-Party Shams

With all due respect to the many
thousands of good, honest conscien-
tious men and women who are to be
found in the new progressive or
third term party, is it not fair. to
ask them if they do not appreciate
what queer, ridiculous sham the
whole movement is? By this time,
any man or woman with ordinary in
telligence can see certain things in
the new party which virtually belle
and squarely deny the theories on
which the whole movement was start
ed.
There never was a movement in
American politics, during the present
generation, that has been so absolute.
ly in the control of few men, as
the third term party has been. Found
ed with all sorts of public professions
as the party of the people, the party
whose every move should be dictat-
ed wholly by the people, it has been
distinctively one-man affair from the
outset, and is growing comically so.
Every act of the third term party
in this state is determined with the
greatest show of secrecy and with
complete dictation. Mr.. Hale goes to
Mr. Roosevelt for the latter's orders.
And sometimes it happens that Mr.
Roosevelt's orders are so COMPLETE
~ contrary to the plans of the local
progressive junta, that the latter are
forced to take back On one day, about
all that they had announced as their
settled plans, less than three days
before
In the absence of any contradictory
orders from the high dignitary whose
orders no minor worker dare dispute,
however, the junta in this state makes
its decisions behind closed doors in
council from which all outsiders,
even the most intense progressives
tnot part OF the clique in contron are
excluded. Then the decisions are an
nounced and the party policy is de.
termined. The rank and file take
their orders as meekly as the most
loyal ward heeler in the most despoti-
cally boss-ruled state.
OF course, the explanation of the
whole business is that the third term
party is discovering what every politi-
clan in it knew from the very begin
ming. That leadership and manage
ment are necessary to the success of
any popular movement is almost self
evident. The only difference is that ex-
President Roosevelt calls the mana
gers in his party the people" while
he calls the managers in any other
party 1.-THE bosses"
1t is growing palmer every day that
a group of ambitious and determined
politicians have captured the third
party, for their own ends. They speak
the language of popular rule and re
form. But is it significant that every
progressive of wide experience and ad-
mitted sagacity (outside of the little
ring of politicians who are associated
with the eX-President is using the
movement for their own political pro-
ft has left the third party in alb
solute disgust-Boston Advertiser.

Take Your Citizenship Seriously

In it's issue of September 9. the
Richmond (Va.) Times.Dispatch print
ed a short editorial that ought to be
read in every precinct, in every state
of the union and posted up on every
schoolhouse, and in every counting
room and factory of the land. Here
it u.s. There ia nothing more i'm.
portant that that We should take our
citizenship seriously Some people
take It Is a joke, some as a game,
some as selfish purpose and some
as a chance to help friends or grind
axes. No man is worthy of citizenship
unless he regards it as mission and
uses 1t for the common good to free
his fellowmen from every kind of SER
vitude and oppression and make them
their own levers to raise themselves
to better estate. Citizenship is duty,
and every man who has high ideal
of life, who makes it brave and SER
viceable, has a right to be called a
citizen and no other should be enroll.
ed upon the roll of honor. A citizen
is a man who honors his city, his
state and his nation by living right
and doing good. Such one regards
citizenship seriously. The duty of
citizenship is committed to each man
as a trust to be discharged always
for the common welfare and the high
er purpose. A ballot is to be used for
the benefit of mankind and not for the
advantage of individuals"

Partners In Town Business.

A village, a town, a city, is part
nership. All of us here are in bust
ness together. Ownership of prop
erty is individual, but our prosperity
as a whole is closely bound up in
each others interests.
If you have house to rent goods
to sell, labor to sell, your success in
getting a good price for such ser
vice depends on the prosperity of
your neighbors. If they are doing
well, they will pay fair prices, and as
times go, these prices tend to rise.
On the other hand if your neigh
bors are not succeeding, they will
haggle for the last cent for your
house, your goods, your labor. The
prices for these services will tend to
fall
When you buy goods away from
home, you work to reduce the pros
perity of your neighbors. Thereby
they become less able to do any
thing to help you. and you have
failed to build up business ties with
them so that they feel no personal in
terest in you.
When you buy goods at home, you
increase the prosperity of your
neighbors. They are not merely bet
ter able thereby to help you alone
ness friendships that make them
want to help you.
Buying at home pays!
