THE CALI.

The far, low hills are calling me
The scent that thrills the air,
The filmy clouds that drifting free
The shroud of summer bear.
The far, low hills are bending down
Until they seem so near;
How garish is the busy town.
How noisy and how drear!
How fine to brave the far unknown
Beyond the drifting haze;
To wander on alone, alone
For endless autumn days;
To catch the primal smell of earth,
To tramp the highway brown,
To leave behind that peopled dearth,
The grim and noisy town.

1.-THE immediate work of our party"
said Colonel Roosevelt in Chicago the
other day to his Bull Moose friends.
''is to establish the principles of our
platform by appropriate legislation in
the nation and the several states That
sounds pretty good, but it seems hardly
feasible in view of the fact that the
members of the new party in congress
are fewer than hens teeth and the
same is true of its representation in
the great, great majority Of the legis-
latures. The Colonel seems to forget
that he was the only Bull Mooser who
made much of a showing on election
day. All the other candidates for state
and federal offices in all parts of the
country were generally slaughtered in
zuest convincing fashion

THE PERSONAL

Names is news" is a saying around
a newspaper office that runs back to
the time when the Eden ENQUIRER"
reported that Mr.. and Mrs Adam have
left Garden Place to make their home
elsewhere
There is often a feigned reluctance
on the part of men and women to have
their names in the newspaper. Don't
put my name in the paper" is heard
frequently by society editors and re-
porters from folk, who often mean Just
the opposite. And some of them will
add: Il am only going away for a day
or so. 1t doesn't amount to anything
But it does, nonetheless. It will in
terest all who know the Individual. or
who have heard of him, no matter how
high or humble may be his station. An
item saying simply that John Smith
is visiting in BIankvflle," signifies
much more than those few words lit
orally convey. 1t tells in the first place
that Mr.. Smith is living, as dead people
don't visit, at least not in the columns
Of newspaper 1t also proves that
Mr.. Smith has money enough to get
out of town, or, at any rate, that he
is strong enough to walk. And it shows
that he must have some interests in
life, or why does he go to Blankville.
1t may also answer such questions
as why Mrs. Smith is alone, or why she
has so much time to shop and visit
with friends. Or it may explain why,
if Mrs. Smiths name appeared in the
item with her husbands, the front door
of the Smith house remains closed for
several days, why the window shutters
are drawn and no smoke arises from
the chimneys. without the item in the
newspaper, these circumstances could
be analysed as indicating that the
Smiths were dead in the house, having
succumbed to heart failure, asphyxia-
ton, a suicide pact or murder; or that
they were merely eccentric.
Thus does the newspaper personal
clear mystery after mystery. 1T tells
a rather extensive and important story
considering its apparent insignificance.

FROM OTHER PENS
AN INAUGURATION PREDICTION.


1t won't be taking any more chances
than Willis L. Moore took in 1908 to make
an inauguration prediction right now. 1t
doesn't concern the weather, except Incl
dentally. 1t concerns the manner of IN
auguration. 1t is said that Hin. woodrow
Wilson has suggested that the difficulty
of securing suitable weather for inaugur-
alton be solved by letting the president
take the oath of office, as the law re-
quires, March 4. Then let the rest OF
the performance, which the law does not
confine, be postponed until April "a or
some time when good weather is more
likely. Hence, this is the prediction. The
Inauguration will be held on the Fourth
of March, and no detail of the ceremonies
attending it will be omitted on account
of weather. The wishes of the president
elect, if they chance to be to the con-
trary, will be disregarded. To divide the
ceremony would be to diminish it, and
d1minution the American people will not
brook at this time. True democracy, Jef-
fersonian simplicity, nice phrases, bug
the people who elected Mr.. Wilson are
not going to be content with any dinnin-
ished glory in their Inauguration. That's
why it is comparatively safe to predict
that Washington will, on March Fourth
see an Inauguration spectacle eclipsing
even the glory of the "corking'' days OF
Theodore.-New Haven Register.
