NOT HERE TO BE MISERABLE
We All Have Our Troubles but Should
Learn to Keep Them In
Background,

If there is anything that is irritat-
ing It Is the way that some people
talk Of their troubles. as II they were
a kind Of a treat-not cheerfully, but
with kind of gloomy 10y: in: word,
they are resigned. It is only mighty
big humbugs that will say they are
thankful for, troubles. We may even
tually live to see that they were right
and best for us. but At tho time 1t 10
sheer hyproorisy to waggle our heads
solemnly and say: Happiness is q
snare, anyhow; 1t IT, foolish for any
one to expect happiness In this girls
Ely old world"
People who talk that way don't de-
serve happiness. We weren't put hero
to be miserable, Tho idea that life
II for suffering ana not enjoyment is
fast being shelved. II the Lord ap-
proved OF lamentations and tears, he
would not have put so much in the
world to make us hopeful and happy.
There Is nothing more common than
trouble, We all have our troubles.
but 1t Is the wise ones Of earth that
keep their burdens in the background.
It is so common and cheap and selfish
to be continually parading ones griefs
and disappointments. Whatever our
lot, we should all learn the wisdom of
that helpful little prayer: Help me
to win, II win l may; hut II ! may not
win, make ma a good loser."-Mary

FORESTS HELP GIVE HEALTH

Forests contribute to the general
health by breaking the force OF stead

heat Of summer by the vast amount
OF evaporation that occurs In their
leaves by day. By night the CORE
spending condensation of moisture up
on the leaves still further absorbs the
heat on the evaporation OF the mois.
ture the next morning. They also pro-
mote rainfalls Thus they check the
tendency of the earth to too great
dryness, which Is almost as injurious
to health as 1t is to vegetation, for
epidemic diseases are sure to do their
fatal work where the saltwater Is be-
low the ordinary standard.
Hence cholera often passes q wood
ed district and revels in q treeless
one. There are numerous facts like
the following: A certain road in In
dia leads for sixty miles through a
dense forest. Further on 1t runs ior
ninety miles through q barren plain.
Hundreds Of persons travel the entire
road daily. Now, in the first or wood
ed section, cases OF cholera seldom
occur, while within the latter it has
been of frequent occurrence. One year

whose barracks were on q hill suffered
the most from the epidemic; those in
barracks surrounded by four rows OF
trees much less: but not a single case
occurred among the soldiers whose
barracks were In thicket It was
the same the next year.

while he spoke the kind and eloquent
words of comfort to the sorrowing.

Father O'Dowd was one of the deep

But Father O'Dowd's strongest
work was done in his own church
and with his own people. At one
time he had an organization Of 100
men in his church, who belonged to
a Total Abstinence society. He had
them pledge to abstain from. strong
drink for one year, If can get
them to abstain for one year then
they would see that they could live
without intoxicants." And so he
sought to establish his men in tenn
perance habits and sobriety of life.
He had the young women Of his
church banded together for :, mutual
protection and helpfuness. If any
thoughtless one among them showed
carelessness In the choice of her
company, and was in danger Of being
misled and betrayed, the older women
O: that society would put their arms
Of protection about her and save her.
The spiritual and general interest of
his people taxed his thought and
deepest solicitude. Rev. Peter
O'Dowd, who has gone from us, prov
ed himself a true Christian brother,
He was choice man. one among ten
thousand. In spirit and character
and practice he has proven himself a
right to relationship with the sainted
Bishop Feelon; or to the Master
Christian Of Marie CorrelNs greatest
book; or, il you please, he was
worthy brother Of the good bishop Of
Dee, whom Victor Hugo has immor-
talized, and who Is really the true
hero behind Jean Vatican, hero OF
Hugo's masterpiece, Les Miser-

lost noble man. Lost, is he? His
life will cast its shadow down the
coming years. A good man never
dies. He has gone home to his Faith

Standard oil and tobacco trust
stocks have increased greatly IN
value since the recent dissolution"
decisions OF the United States SUI
preme court.
Dissolution under the Supreme
court decisions is worth millions or
dollars to any trust in the land.
Having enriched the oil and tobac-
co trusts by "dissolving'' them, the
attorney general has started similar
proceedings against the harvester
trust. Doubtless this trust will be
duly thankful for the favor. #
The Sherman law carried provl--
sion which makes it penitentiary
offense to organize an illegal trust.
II this section OF the law was invok-
ed against George w. Perkins and
the other Wall street millionaires
who organized the harvester trust,
it might he expected to have deter

monopolies.
Poor men are sent to jai! for

RoosEvELT's WEIGHTS.

If Roosevelt was not weighted by
his own record he could easily defeat
Taft in any state primary, for Taft's
defense of tariff extortion is indefen-
sible. But Roosevelt is a man who is
carrying even greater weights than
the President. Roosevelt has worked
with Aldrich and Cannon, with Han
ma and Quay, with Addicks and Cox.
with Hartman and Morgan, with the
steel trust and the harvester. trust,
and is now in the hands OF George
w. Perkins, who organized the har-
vester trust and is one of the direct
ors Of the steel trust.
Roosevelt's talk about the rule Of
the people sounds reasonable and
fair, but his work as public official
has been side by side with the en-
emies of the people. Roosevelt can
not make record square with
his public speeches. -,-E

WITH A PRIMARY, NO LINCOLN.

r
1t is absolutely certain that with a
preferential presidential primary
law then in force, that Abraham Lin
coin would not have been nominated
and afterwards elected president ot
the United States. 1t Is just as GER
tain that William H. Seward, a tried
and better known man, whose name
was household word throughout the
eastern states in 1860 containing the
bulk OF the population of the north.
would have received the nomination.
1t is matter of speculation as to
what the results might have been
with Seward guiding the nation dur
ing the trying days Of the Civil war
but the elimination of Mr.. Lincoln
as a presidential possibility under a
nationwide primary has no doubt il
it. The delegates to the republican
national convention which nominated
Mr.. Lincoln had opportunities
there, when the merits of the several
candidates were scruttnized and
measured to exercise a judgment or
information their constituents coule
not have possessed. ..
With preferential presidential pri
mary in 1896 Mr.. Bryan would moi
have been the democratic standard
bearer, for few knew him or OF him
until he made his speech in the ma
tional convention which brought him
fame and the honor Of leadership.

ANOTHER PRESIDENTIAL BLUM
81 DER.

When it comes to laundering Pres.
ident Taft can be relied upon to lead
all competitors. Speaker Clark, when
discussing reciprocity with Canada
was undiplomatic enough to say that
he was in favor OF annexing the coun
try. The Speakers friends tried to
excuse him on the ground that he
was jeshng;but whether in jest or IN
earnest his remark contributed in no
small degree to the defeat Of the
reciprocity pact by our northern
neighbor. \
After that incident and its unhappy
results, what can he said of the Pres
ident who voluntarily makes public
letter written by himself, in which
he takes the position that reciprocity
would make Canada only an adjunct
of the United States" This letter Of
the Presidents is making the liberal
government Of Great Britain all kinds
of trouble.

BUSINESS MEN WELCOME DEMO-
CRATIC VICTORY.

Although the prospects for com
plete democratic success in Novem-
her are becoming brighter each days
It is observable that the business
men of the country are not IN the
least alarmed. The conduct OF Inc
Democratic House Of Representatives
under the sane and progressive lead
,ership of Speaker Champ Clark and
Floor Leader Oscar Underwood Is an
assurance that the legitimate bust
ness interests OF the country have
nothing to fear through Democratic
ascendancy. No one outside OF a
lunattc asylum would want to IN
lure any legitimate business by a
hairs breadth. Any measure that
tends to build up an American IN
dustry without Infringing upon the
rights of the consumer Is approved
by democrats in congress and those
who are candidates for congress. For
the first time in a score OF years the
business interests are not raising the
pre-election bugaboo about democrat
ic success meaning business ruin.

Character, Commercial Value.

Character has commercial value
and sometimes men are honest &C.
cording to law solely because it Is
polite, or polite. according to social
requirements because it pays. But the
honesty and courtesy of such men
are not virtues. They are handmade
ems Of covetousness. They contribute
nothing to self-respect. They have
no moral content, and serve only to
aid In bolstering up a vicious char
