PArfaotion For PerfectionIs Sake.

When the Western world awOke one day to find that it no longer believed corporateIy and for certain in future life for the indiyiduaI-when it began to feel, q cannot say more than that there may be individual life to come; that Death may be nothing" it be- gan also to ask itself in this uncer- tainty, Do I desire then to go on lfving?" And, since it found that it desired to go on living at least as earnestly as ever it did before, it be- gan to inquire why. And slowly it perceived that there was, inborn with in a passionate instinct, of which 1t had hardly till then been conscious a sacred instinct to perfect itself, now, as well as in a possible hereafter; to perfect itself because Perfection was desirable, a vision to be adored and striven for. a dream motive fastened within the Universe, the very essential Cause of everything. And it began to see that this Perfection, cosmlcally,
 was nothing but perfect Equilibrium, and Harmony and, in human rela- tions, nothing but perfect Love and Justice, And Perfection began to glow before the eyes of the Western World like q new star, whose light touched

VaIlette's 3-5 of Iabor's product going for the payment of bonds and debts would shrink to one-half and instead of 50 cents of every dollar go- ing for payment of interest there would be but 90 cents, and instead of the worker receiving 40 cents out of every dollar, he would actually be getting 70 cents. All this admitting that 35 of labOrs products goes to the paying of interest on debts and bonds. But is this the case entirely? All business is run for profit and profit means all above interest on deOts and bonds. So it stands to reason that the 3-5 of labor's product contains also the profit in the forms of dividends, sometimes running as high as 9 per cent. and over. Now, eliminating that dividend
 it brings the remaining 30 cents down to perhaps 20 cents, thus leaving the worker at that rate. 80 cents of every dollar that he produces.
 No Mr Vallette, the socialists are as far apart from the republican and democratic parties as are the poles.
 We do not stand for the same things as they do, and do not intend that we shouldN so be understood. We stand for the abolition of the wage system. We stand for the abolition of child labor. We stand for the common own
 ershIp of everything that is commonly used, and we stand for the abolition of the entire profit system, Of all these things the democratic and republican parties do not stand for one. They stand for the continuation of the pres- ent system in all it's rottenness.

Tbs Flourishino White Birch.

One valuable forest tree at least is withstanding the inrOads of the axe and fire This is the white birch, sometimes called the paper birch or canoe birch, since 1t furnished the In dians the material for their famous canoes.
 The opinion has been ventured by the Forest Service that more white birch is now growing in the United States than was the case two hundred years ago. It spreads rapidly over spaces left bare by forest fires, but it is a short lived tree and does not prosper where it has to compete with other trees for light and soil. No other wood as hard as birch can be worked with so little dulling of the tools and this quality, with it's hand some color and it's failure to warp af ter seasoning, makes it much used in the manufacture of various novelties.
 Practically all spools are made of birch and in Maine alone, which is the chief seat of this industry, some eight hundred million spools are turned out each year.

"In the interests of an efficient

sity for the inauguration OF this i'm
portant reform and recommend as
necessary amendments to the laws
governing such appointments, such
amendments to take effect not later

be secured to the people the bene-
fits to be derived from the conduct
OF their affairs by officers selected
on the basis of merit and devoting
their time and talents solely to the
duties of their offices.
IN my. opinion each OF the fore
going recommendations, if acted up

DOG NOW SPORTS
AN ARTIFICIAL LEG

Spokane, Wash.-"Curley," a large
brown Chesapeake spaniel, owned by
Charles G.. Williams of Hillyard. a
suburb Of Spokane, has just been fit
ted with an artificial limb to replace
the right fore paw and leg lost as the
result of an accident several years
ago. The expense was borne by train
men employed on the Great Northern
railway. Williams Is a conductor
running between Whitefish, Mont,
and this city. The dog is a favorite
with the children in the neighborhood
of the Williams home, also of the
railway shop employees. The children
cried when they saw an apparent
stranger lead the animal away a few
days ago. but the tears were dried
when they were told that "Curley"
soon would be walking on all tours.
The dog is quick to make friends
with newcomers to the locality and
invariably extends the injured foot
for a handshake. The children of the
suburb are saving their pennies to buy
a collar for the animal, and there
will be appropriate ceremonies when
Ii is presented.

Other officers. the placing OF

penses of government officials.

Directly and indirectly. the changes
proposed will result in saving mill
lions OF dollars.
This will leave congress free to
determine whether the moun thus
saved may be utilized to reduce tax
alton or provide funds with which
to extend activities already carried
on, and enter into beneficial pro-
jects which heretofore could not be
undertaken for lack of funds"
In the postoffice department the
president declared that the investi-
cations OF the economy commission
indicated that in many cases two
persons were doing the work of one.
In this connection the message said:
"As the annual operating expenses
o. first and second class postoffices
aggregate over $50, 900, 900. there is
no doubt that if the postmasters in
fled service were required to devote
all of their time to the public service
the annua saving would amount to
about $4,000, 000."
Further and similar savings, the
message declared, could be effected
by the abolition of assistant post
masters.
