ONLY HOPE is IN WILSON
To Him Alone Can People Look for
Serious Effort to Reduce Cost
of Living.

AS the campaign progresses, II De-
comes plain that Gov. Wilson is the
only presidential candidate to whom
the country can look for serious Ell
fort to reduce the high cost of llV-
ing.
President Taft, who was born rich'
approaches this question only to ex-
plain why the high cost of living must
remain high. He does not understand
wat high prices mean to poor peo-
pie, and 1t is hopeless to try to teacn
him
Mr.. Roosevelt, who also was born
rich, is interested in wars and rumors
of wars. in grand stand plays, in spec
tacular denunciations, and most OF all,
in himself. If elected-which he VIII
not be-he would probably raise the
cost of living by his wide extraVa-
gance.
Governor Wilson alone has given
careful thought to this most press
ing problem of the day
Governor Wilson sees that needless
ly high tariff duties raise the price Oh
the articles on which they are leVled
by approximately the amount OF the
duty. He calls for revision OF the
tariff downward, steadily and unnes-
itatingly downward"
Governor Wilson sees that IN the
shade Of the tariff the trusts gatner-
ed to exploit the people. He Woulu
not only cut down the trust protecting
shade; but he would invoke the law
fearlessly and without favor, to preaK
up the vast combinations which nave
assumed the right to fix the high cost
of living "by private agreement.
Only by the election of Governor VIII
son and the triumph of the principles
Of which he is the exponent, can the
burden of high prices be lifted from
the shoulders of the American people.

What Wilson Promises.

We may expect readjustment, but
not revolution. That is the Keynote
of the whole-"a new point of view
and a new method and spirit of coun-
sell" but no excited change" Gov
ernor Wilson is for meeting the
changed conditions of our life candid
ly. and with new laws-radical laws,
IL YOU please-but not with new and
strange form of government.
We may expect the one great re-
form we have fully discussed and re-
solved on-tariff revision downward
made, indeed, without vindictiveness
or violence: but, nevertheless, "un-
hesitatingly and steadily downward"
We may expect a policy with the
trusts and other great industrial com
binations and confederacies equally
firm for justice, yet equally free from
any impulse of mere destructiveness;
laws to prevent and punish unfairness
and wrongdoing, but none against
mere bigness, none to arrest the natu-
raj course of economic development.
We may expect conservative pol
lev which will conserve without mere
boarding; which will prevent waste
and robbery of our natural wealth,
but permit and encourage the proper
use Of 1t.
We may expect a revision OF our
laws of currency and banking, to
make our system more elastic, more
modern and scientific, and more re-
sponsive to all the needs of business.
We may expect, If we ourselves
have the virtue to play our part In
the change, the proper working OF
representative government-the true
rule of the people through public
servants brought again into a right
sense of loyalty to the entire public.
And in the highest place of all, we
may expect leadership at once res
olute and entirely democratic; ready
to learn and to be advised. but OF good
faith and courage; leadership by
consent and counsel, but nevertheless
an authoritative and fearless spokes-
manship of the people.
That is what we understand Gov
ernor Wilson to have resolved and
promised when he accepted the nom-
nation for the presidency and the
headship of his arty.-Harper
Weekly.

THE BORROWING HABIT.

Humanity is afflicted with some ex-
seedingly bad habits. one Of the
worst of which is that of borrowing
money In small sums. 1t is as de-
norallzing as intemperance. Indeed
It is often an accompaniment OF that
rice. perhaps the cause Of 1t or per
haps the effect. man who lacks
business perception, who is deficient
In the matter of making adequate pro-
vision for his needs, who does not
calculate carefully, and who spends
Hnwisely on Injuries, starts to raising
funds by appealing to his friends.
The lending OF money Is one OF the
vital factors in business. which Is
largely done on credit. But the lend
ing of money individually. without Sc
curity, without interest just as a
personal accommodation between
friends. is one of the most unbusi-
nesslike and demoralizing of prac-
tees. At first these loans are repaid
conscientiously, says the Washington
Star. Then the time goes by and the
borrower is slow about refunding
After a while he grows accustomed
10 asking, loses his shame, gets cal
lous to the thought of non-payment
and thus drifts into the habit Of petty
borrowing. Now 1t is perhaps a quar-
ter or half dollar, or some other
lrifing sum that the lender would be
perfectly willing to give in a good
cause to meet a real emergency,
without hope OF return. But there Is
always the suspicion that the money
is not really needed, save for some
self-indulgence. The average man
will hesitate about giving in this way

THIRTEEN YEARS
UnIucky Number for Dakota Woman

It Is, as a rule, we'll to stick to one
breed Of horses and to breed that one
which has the greatest number of
good stations in ones district. Under
Dean Curtiss, however, at the Iowa
college, Ames, Iowa, an effort Is being
made to combine the best that Is in
the Shire and Clyde horses, and the
resources of the college fully justify
the experiment and also the kind of
horses that are being produced. Many
Of our most successful show horses
have resulted from a cross OF Clyde
and Percheron, Clyde and Shire or
Shire and Percheron in varying de-
gree. The ideal type Of all three
great breeds is nearly the same; all
seek improvement over the original
horse of their districts, and when
Judge enters the ring, although he is
forced to make allowance for differ
ences in each breed, yet he has pretty
much the same standard in his mind
for all. The ideal begins with deep
feet, yet not boxy, but with wide
hoof heads and a broad elastic heel
and frog. The set Of the pasterns
must be oblique to give plenty OF
spring and save conclusion, plenty of
breadth in canon bone and tendon
with quality, big muscular forearms,
with the muscle coming down evenly,
not in punches, both for strength and
to denote muscular tendency through
out Head and neck strong without
coarseness, but denoting strong vital
ity. The draft horses shoulder may
be straighter than the carriage
horses, but 1t should be oblique
enough for the horse to wear himself
well and travel easily, which will not
be the case with an upright shoulder,
or If the legs are not truly set on the
body the latter point is often over
looked. A shortish back and a good
girth and barrel, with plenty Of
spread underneath coming from
length of shoulders and quarters and
big muscular thighs and stiles are
needed and the hook should be long
and deep and clean. with a proper

SYMPATHY, BUT NO APOLOGY
Lawyers Tart Remarks Not Greatly
Softened by His Rejolnder
When "CaIIed Down."

Andrew Lipscomb, who practices
law before the courts of Maryland,
was trying his first case before a.
Judge named Merrick. Lipscomb, wish
ing to impress the Judge, was, In the
language of the bar, right lippy in his
remarks to the eminent gentleman.
Finally, Merrick lost patience and ex-
claimed:
"Sit down! Sit down, sir! II you
don't sit down I'll fine you for con-
tempt Of court"
Lipscomb sat down, but turned to a
young lawyer beside him, and re-
marked, in an undertone:
That's the crustiest most opinion
ated old Judge l ever saw. I'll show
him where he gets off. He's an old
fool"
"If you talk like that, I'll beat you
up!" replied the young lawyer. He's
my father!"
How sad!" said Lipscomb, smooth
ly. How sad."-Popular Magazine.

alignment to the stiles and hip bono.
1t will be found in seeking these
points that every breed has serious
and, in fact, disqualifying differences,
and Dean Curtiss is merely doing
what has been frequently done with
other breeds when he tries to take
short cut by combining gray Shires
with Clydes and uniting the excellen-
cies Of both. That it will take time
and an intensifcation of the desired
horse by inbreeding is nothing against
the experiment.
A great deal has been done in both
Shire and Clyde to improve them, but
some sire has been sacrificed to get
perfection of hoof and pastern in the
one breed, and the Clyde was never
heavy barreled horse, the Scotsman
preferring a quick, active, granted
horse to one which consumed more
hay, an article he is not apt to be
overburdened with. The great back
ribs and barrel of the Shire will be
well carried on Clyde legs, the head
will be improved, while there Is an
upstandingness and presence about
the great Shire horses that are i'm
pressive. The Shire horse is con-
sistent puller. He will pull without
result for long time without becom-
ing discouraged, while the Clyde horse
gets into action much quicker and at
the second or third step is in the full
swing of his walk, so that good deal
will be gained by a combination of
mental qualities expressed in action.
l realize the immense debt we owe to
foreign importations, but can never
rest satisfied until we have developed
either new breeds or adapted cid
ones entirely to our conditions, both
general and local, as has been done

To ascertain the temperature OF

the results of the Investigations made

The eruption began September 10
and the scientist was unable to ap-
proach the mountain for ten days,
when one crater was still in action.
He camped as near az he could to

this crater, close to stream of lava

Using the new telescope pyro-

surface of the lava flow Of all the
way from 1,O4O to 1920 degrees.
A second series Of observations,
