MORNING GLORY is FOR TAFT.

Dear Editor and Friends of the So
cial Corner: I notice the Leonard
Bridge folks are still as Lively as ever
7 am much interested in their good
times.
Where is Dolly? I hope she is not
i'll.
A. D.: [ made seven quilts some
time ago. and enjoyed doing so; but
now l do not find time for such slow
work.
A B. c.: do not agree with you
| am strictly temperate. but 1 do not
think a man who takes a drink oc-
casionally builds all the jails, insane
asylums, etc, you referred to. For in
stance-Some fourteen years age
was in business in a town where there
was no license At noon as soon as
the people were free to go to dinner
I noticed hundreds of men from the
mills and elsewhere go into a drug
store; again at six the same thing
happened; and so on every day. You
can guess what they purchased. Yet
in all those years they did not need
insane asylums. orphans homes or
prison. A jail they have; 1 never saw
any cripples or idiots there. 1t is not
always liquor that makes such things
as yoI referred to. I think women
are TO blame a great deal. for they
are continually using drugs or patent
medicines. Certain drugs are a curse.
Temperate eating and drinking will
hurt no one.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis

to be in and so many charming writ
ers that when I think l will not write
this week there is always so much Of
interest that I find myself writing to

A friend went with me one day and
took the pictures There is the old
house that Mamma lived in rs a bride;
the old homestead where l was born;
the little church where I went to Sun

You can wear something in silver, pins,

is universally admitted that the W ay
to mans heart is through his stoI n
ach, or as the poet has it:
We may live without poetry music ant
art,
We may live without conscience and
live without heart;
We may live without friends; we may
live without books,
NBut the civilized man cannot live with
out cooks.
Herewith 1 am sending some tested

the yolks to bread crumbs and one ia
blespoon of butter, a pinch of salt and
pepper: lastly add the whites to the

THE BELL OF THE ATLANTIC.

IHE BELL OF THE ATLANTIC.
Toll ton. TOLL thou bell by pillows
swung.
And night and day thy warning words
repeat with mournful tongue.
Toll for the queenly boat wrecked on
your rocky shore,
Seaweed is IN her palace halls, she
rides the surge no more.
Toll for the master bold. the high
souled and the brave.
Who ruled her like thing Of life
amid the crested wave;
Toll Tor the hardy crew, sons of the
storm and blast.
Who long the tyrant ocean dared but
1T conquered them at last.
Toll for the hearts that bleed meath
misery's furrOVjng trace.
Toll for the hapless orphan left, the
Last OF all his race.
Yea with thy heavenly kneil from
surge TO rocky shore
Toll FOR the living, not the dead,
whose mortal woes are Ger.
It Is said after Atlantic struck the
rock The bell became fastened to the
debris where IL tolled for several
days, 2s if i'm mouruful requiem for

The orphan referred to is Jacob

the Inflated boat, with his mother.

sister being the four-week bride OF

antago11istic to large campaign con
trlbutions simply because Of thei1
size. FL.
IS. That the immediate plan Of or.
ganization for the new party carries
into action all of the states and all Of
the state leaders who made the
fight for Roosevelt and johnson in
the recent campaign and that the
1916 contest is now on, led by the
same personnel which handled the
1912 campaign. r..
If this program Is carried out it
precludes all possibility of compro-
mise between the old and the new
republican party. .s-y.-
Conservative republicans can not
and will not support either Roose-
welt or his policies. And Roosevelt's
past record, and his present associa-
ton with trust magnates like Perkins,
make it equally certain that he will
not increase his democratic vote four
years from now.
It is Of course too early to make
predictions, because many things
could happen between now and 1916
that might entirely change the poll
cies of the nation. !, Aside, however,
from the happening Of the unforeseen
and unexpected the campaign four
years from now will be a repetition
OF the campaign Of this year and with
similar results.

AFTER THE PROGRESSIVE CON-
FERENCE.

(From the Chicago Record Herald
In the words of Colonel Roosevelt,
the progressive conference in Chica-
60 was meeting OF friends. Little
actual business was transacted. Re
ports on organizations and financing
of the party were submitted, very
interesting and rather novel sugges-
tons were made, and the executive
committee will proceed to adopt what
may seem feasible and expedient in
the reports The oratory Of the con-
ference was marked by abundance,
confidence and cheer. X.
To Independent and other progress
ives the country over the feature of
the conference that most challenged
attention was the discussion of the
new party's policy with reference to
fusion or cooperation with the other
parties. It is gratifying to know
that, while there was much general
talk against dickering and trading,
as we'll as "amalgamation" or return
to the republican camp, nothing was
said against municipal fusion or
against the proper cooperation OF pro
gressives with progressives in other
parties in obtaining desirable legisla-
ton or in defeating the stratagems
and spells OF piratical b-partisans or
fanatical and reactionary partisans.
On the contrary, the duty and dispo-
sition of the progressive to work with
any and all faithful men in and out
of legislatures for the success Of
measures embodying justice and gem
uine reform was frequently pointed
out.
The next presidential campaign is
far off. Much water flows under
bridges IN that period of time. Much
happens; fortunes are made and
marred; leaders come and go; issues
are lost and found. Sufficient unto
the day is the work thereof and the
opportunity thereof. The party that
serves the people best will prosper
most The advice which Senator
Borah gave to the republicans applies
to the progressives and the democrats
Promote good government and equal
opportunity, show common sense and
sincerity, and the rest will take care
Of itself. BY actions, not by claims,
are parties judged.

WILSON is TO BE PRESIDENT

WILSON Is TO BE PRESIDENT
Under the headline More Shivers'
the New York World prints the fol
lowing editorial:
Governor Wilson has said the
fateful words himself. He is going
to consult William J. Bryan as to his
appointments and policies. 1t is 9
fearsome prospect, and we already
hear in anticipation the shrieks OF
heroes and patriots certain to pro
test. ..E
''Mr. Bryan is only democrat who
in spite Of his well-known failings,
has three times polled more than g.
100000 votes as a candidate for the
presidency. He is only democrat
who, regardless Of his notorious faults
was able in the Baltimore convention
last summer to defeat as clever a
scheme as.>ever was devised to put
the democratic party once more on
the familiar road to defeat. I'm
dOuDtedly he is a dangerous man
from the Ryan-Belmont-M Murphy stand
point, but we regard Woodrow Will
son so highly that we are willing to
trust him for season even in such
company.
1T is true that the president-elect
might have placed himself in touch
with the best minds in the democrat
ic party. He might have made a
date with Ryan himself, or Belmont
or Murphy or Taggart or Roger Sui
Ivan or Jim Smith. He might easi-
ly have saved himself all this oblo-
guy, but he is headstrong and per-
verse, and that is why he is to be
president"

IRISH HOME RULE BILL MAKES

Last Thursday the Irish Home

working majority, and they confident
" expect to pass before the March
adjournment, not alone the Irish
Home Rule bill, but the bills disestab-
