LIFE IN THE HILLS.

Oh. give me the life among the
 hills.
 A life of careless mien. Among the rocks and laughing rill4 And the frounding clusters green: The life that the happy song birds
 live
 As they fit from tree to tree Where Natures God has life to
 give:
 It's the only life for me. Oh, give me the life where crocus
 blooms
 Where the wild bees cloister stands 'Mong garlands wove in the living
 room
 By the sylvan Gods own hands. In the vicinage of the moonbeam
 nymphs
 And the water sprites play ground . 'Mong the clustered tress of the
 fronded Cress, In the valleys crystal pond. Oh, give me the life where the
 spruce trees wave In Alaskas balmy breeze. Whose compound robs the yawning
 grave
 Of victory it would seize; Where natures gyves are the only
 bonds
 That binds the life and soul. And the climbing vine the trees en-
 twine.
 That shades my longed for goal Oh, give me the life among the
 hills When the frost is in the air When zephyrs cold the living chills And snow lays everywhere. When winters king crowns mountain
 spire.
 And hangs OCT misty dells. And glaciered vale where runs tho
 trail.
 Is clothed in snowy swells Oh. give me the life among the
 hills, Where God Is judge and law Where natures joy the sad heart
 fills
 And feeds the human nav: Where nature bathes the throbbing
 brow.
 And sets the soul care free; Where you live a life that's free
 from strife
 It's the only life for me.

THE DUEL AND THE REICHSTAG.


 In the name of modernity. reason and individualism. as we'll as for the like of high moral considera- tions, the German reichtag has adopt ed resolution against duelling in the army. It went so far as to adopt a social democratic motion that officers who decline to accept challenge to fight shall not be dismissed or forced to resign.
 This action. is of course, perfect ly natural. The duel is an absurd anachronism in modern Germany. How the kaiser reconciles it with his religious and moral doctrines has never been explained The practi- cal spirit of the age is also wholly against the duel The defense of it by the group of jingoes and militar- ists in the reichstag only emphasized the practical unanimity of the cham Der the other way The minister of war was sharply rebuked for his fanatical mediaevalism, and that re buke has been indorsed by the na- tion
 As the reichstag votes military and naval supplies. it's antiduelling order carries weight The real duel must go. To the opera bouffe duel. which promotes gayety. the objection is slight.-Chicago Record-Herald.

EXIT BULL MOOSE.

Theodore Roosevelt was personal ly one of the most popular men ill the whole history of this country He had it in his power to do as and indeed it is probable that he could have done more good for hu wide world, if he could have put the welfare of the people ahead of his personal ambitions
 Roosevelt's fiery spirit and readi, ness to fight whatever might cross his path, attracted to him innumer. able followers, and his ability to read the signs of the times and get the true direction of the wind, and his readiness to take it's direction always kept him in the foreground; i; always made him seen and loved by men,
 He was the most successful ad, vertiser that ever lived. The lime light was ever his property, and there he shone He was the idol of a majority of the people, and he could have been their dictator during the rest of his natural life, had not his ambition been his un- doing.
 He conceived the notion that he could do what General Grant had failed to do; that he could break down the settled policy of the Amer ican people and hold the office of

ENGLISH WOMEN NOT
 AS SANE AND SOBER
 AS THE OPPOSITE SEX

LONDON Figures showing the relative morality, sobriety, health and sanity of the sexes are contained in the first volume, just published, of the detailed report of the census taken in England and Wales April ?, 1911.
 Briefly. the figures show that while women are more moral than men, they are not as sane or as sober The statistics relating to the sexes may be tabulated thus:
 Prisons, 139 women to 1000 men,
 Certified reformatory industrial schools, PTS women to 1000 men.
 Workhouse establishments, 655 wo- men to 1000 men.
 Hospitals, the sexes nearly equal
 Lunatic asylums, LAO women to 1000 men.
 AS to certified inebriates in re- formatories and retreats, of the 1857 inmates on census night only BOA were men.
 There are 1,179,276 more females than males in England and Wales
 Since 1921 the preponderance of women has steadily increased, des- pite the fact that more boys are born than girls. This proportion of females to males is only exceeded in one European country-Norway.
 According to the revised figures the total population of England and Wales at the last census was 36, O7O,492.

THE TRUMP H.

The sweeping victory al the polls last Tuesday may be attributed to the fact that the people refuse long er to be frightened by threats of disaster following the election of Democrat for President of the United States; in other words the people have declared their intention to do their own thinking
 The leaders of the Republican party have always appealed to the fear of the common people to win their elections. and the appeal has always met with response until the election just held, In this election the poor people of the United States have drafted their new declaration of independence They have. in most emphatic language. declared their in tention to stand upon their own in tellectual feet. and this is the true hope of the future of this nation
 The Democratic party has ever stood upon principle to win cleo tions, and the Republicans invaria- bly answered the logic of the Dem. ocratic argument by heraldine through the captains of industry. and the captains of capital. that hard times would surely follow the election of i Democratic candidate for president.
 The Republicans have always painted a striking picture of woe, desolation and starvation that would follow in the wake of a Democratic victory. It was invariably their cry that high protective tariff alone permitted a working man to pros per in this nation, and that tinkering with the tariff by the Democrats would spell ruin to the American workingman
 During the past three years this paper has voiced the true doctrine of Democracy upon the subject of tariff for protection. and a reference to tHe iiteS oi tHiS paper TOT lNdt tune will show that the recent campaign was fought out by the National Democratic party upon the same ar guments that we there gave against tariff for protection. Thus it will be seen that this paper is not only Democratic in principle, but that 1t is now and always has been a Pro- gressive Democratic paper. A ref erence to the tariff article above re- ferred to will show that this paper was well in advance of progressivism in the Democratic party-long before the last campaign was arranged for, and long before the last national platform had been agreed upon by the leaders of the party.
 The most remarkable thing about the recent campaign is that the Re publican candidate for President re- lied upon the old Republican argu- ment for the protective tariff, and the Democratic candidate threw off all disguise. came right out in the open and appealed to the intelligence of the American voter, and de- nounced the principle of protec-
