Taft VS.. Roosevelt.
New York Tribune

The difference between him [Taftl and
Colonel Roosevelt is one of temperament
and Methods rather han one of ends.
And Mr.. Taft's methods hav the JUS
tification of success. He has put upon
the statute books an unprecedented
amount of progressive legislation and
has carried forward extraordinarily the
ideal of equal rights for all. Nor Is
there any halt In the work. The latest
act of the administration, recommending
to Congress a workmen's compensation
bill of a drastic character, is that of a
courageous Progressive. This bill, which
Is expected to pass Congress, is as thor
oughgoing and progressive a measure as
the New York law in behalf of which
Mr.. Roosevelt makes his sweeping con-
demnation of our Court of Appeals. 1t
is a tremendous advance upon any labor
legislation secured in the seven years of
Colonel Roosevelt's own incumbency and
1t measures the reality of progress under
Mr.. Taft.
Social justice is as much Mr.. Taft's
aim as it Is Colonel Roosevelt's. The
President is sanely progressive, unless
to be progressive one must be willing
to abandon the safeguards of a written
Constitution. AS a candidate for renom-
nation he has no reason to fear the is
sue raised by Colonel Roosevelt's scheme
for the recall of judicial decisions in the
name of progress.

THE LEADING APPLE GROWING
STATE.

The New York Tribune Farmer Is
responsible for the statement that the
state of New York produces nearly one
eighth of all the apples grown in the
United States. Following is the para
graph in which his statement Is made:
1T Is the narrow belt of land lying
along Lake ontario, between Niagara
Falls and Oswego, and embracing parts
Of the five counties of Niagara, Orleans,
Monroe, Wayne and ontario, which give
New York first rank as an apple growing
state and which Is mainly responsible
for the production of about one-sixth of
all the apples grown in the Eastern and
middle Atlantic states and nearly one
eighth of all the apples grown in the
entire United States"
In view of all that we hear and know
of the development of the apple-growing
industry on the Pacific slope this state
ment seems surprising, but it is made
editorially by the Tribune Farmer and is
doubtless reliable.
In this connection that paper recalls
the fact, hard to realize by the younger
people of today, hat less than 1875 years
ago the now thickly settled and prosper
Gus region of western New York was a
country described as 'unbroken woods,
and which contained not a single settler
west of the Genesee river"
1t is a matter of course that when
settlement of the country first began the
pioneers devoted the land to crops that
provided food and clothing-mainly wheat
and fax, and it was when wheat growing
was removed to the prairies Of
the Middle West that the development Of
apple growing in Western New York on
a commercial scale began to be developed.
1t started with the family orchards and
only began to assume its present proper
tons with the introduction of cold
storage and refrigerator cars.
The further interesting statement Is
made that the I~roquois Indians, who
inhabited Western New York, had a
great ondness for apples. and began to
grow the fruit in abundance from Its
earliest introduction into New York from
Europe. A census made as late as 1S45
showed that 6S6S apple trees were grow
ing in their territory.

hidden himself away somewhere in the
mysterious distance of death, and day
and night she stretched out her empty
arms to him, and piteously cried out on
him to come back.
"Oh, did not love you enough, my
own little boy" she would cry, that
you should leave me like this? All! God
knows how I loved you, how my every
thought was for you, how l planned for
you every day, planned all the days that
were to come right away till you were
a man. Oh, what a great wonderful
man you were going to be, my own little
boy
So she would cry night after night, and
sob herself to sleep at last in her hus-
band's arms. Sometimes she would
grow so wild and ~distraught that he
feared for her reason, and out OF the
depths Of his love, would feel that, II
death only could bring her peace, he
would even face that rather than that
she should go on living so tragically.
At last Morning Glory had grown to
be but a shadow Of her young sunlit
self, and the day had come round when
her little boy had been born. For others
he had been lead six months. For her
he was just one year old, n on the
morning of this day, very early, soon
after dawn, a strange thing happened.
She was lying in a deep exhausted sleep,
and the early sunbeams were making
leafy patterns IN the wall above her
head. Her husband, already awake at
her side, raised himself gently for fear
of waking her, and looked down tenderly
at her sleeping face. To his joy he saw
a strange change had come over 1t. The
traces of sorrow had all vanished, and
| instead a deep happiness had taken their
| place. She was smiling in her sleep the
| loveliest of c%ontented smiles, and was
| murmuring inarticulate words of glad

used to murmur to her little boy.
Poor child! She is dreaming of him.
said her husband under his breath; and
at that moment, she opened her eyes
with a startling suddenness.
"Oh, darling" she said, looking up into
his eyes without moving, Il have found
him. I can never be unhappy again."
For answer her husband pressed her tc
him and stroked her beautiful hair, the
wild hope coming to him that perhaps
he too might dare to be happy again. II
it were only a dream, what matter II 9
dream could give him back the life tina
seemed so surely slipping out of his
grasp.
NO" she said presently, as II in an
swer to his thoughts, "it was more thar
a dream. I was actually with him, al
grown, too, and can walk and say
little ABLY words. Oh, why weren't you
with me. He was toddling up and dowr
with some other little boys and girls II
a meadow. They were all laughing ant
gathering flowers. and suddenly he look
ed up and saw me. and called out
Mamma in the prettiest little bah,
way, and 1 ran to him and gathered
him up in my arms. There was a swee
woman with the children, taking care o
them, and she said to me, Isn't he &
bonny little fellow! We all love him so
and you mustn't be unhappy for him
He is we'll cared for, and he shall grow
up just as you meant him to. Don
think you are far away from him. HI

is always near to you, and you can
come and see him every day, here in the
Land Of Children Unforgot'-and just
then l woke and there were you looking
down at me-"
know not If this was actually but a
dream of Morning Glory's, but If it were,
it was surely one of those dreams out Of
which the realities Of life are made, and
his for the simple truth I know that
from that day Morning Glory began to
be her old sunlit self again, and soon
was as happy and contented and proud
a mother as any mother in the world,
with their little children on their knees.
No other child came to her out Of the
sky, nor had her heart the need of any,
for every night when happy sleep closed
her eyelids she was away with her W
little invisible lad with the brown eyes
and the thick clustering curls; and every
morning, when she awoke, she brought
her husband the latest news of him from
the Land of Children Unforgot.
She had the homeliest mother-news to
tell of him, what sort of clothes he was
wearing, how man. teeth he had, how
one day he had been promoted to trous-
ers and how at last he was to s'art going
to school, n how she had heiped him
with his lessons-how he had his first
fight, and had come off victorious over a
much bigger boy than himself-and a
thousand other such details which sound
childish in the telling, but which she re-
lated in such a simple matter-of-fact
way, that however strange it might all
seem to anyone else, there could be no
doubt that 1t was all true for her.
In the daytime she would often say,
II mustn't forget to tell that to Robin
and she was constantly committing to
memory anything in her reading that she
thought would interest him, little songs
and fairy tales inc such like; and always
in the morning she brought the father a
kiss from their little son.
HE often asks about his father" she
would say, al wonders you never come
to see him. I tell him that o will come
with me one of these days. 1t is strange
dear, you cannot see him too. I feel sc
selfish having him all to myself"
do you see any other fathers in tina
land. dear?" asked her husband gently
why, now 1 think of it, I don't believe
I have" she answered.
81 thought not" answered her husband
sadly. IT believe it is only mothers tina
ever find their way there"
So the years began to go by, ant
though his mother still looked little more
than a girl, the son was by this CROWNS

TRAMP's ELOQUENT LECTURE.

A tramp asked for a free drink in a
saloon. The request was granted, and
when in the act of drinking the proffered
beverage one of the young men present
exclaimed: stop, make us a speech. 1t
is a poor liquor that doesn't loosen a
mans tongue"
The tramp hastily swallowed the drink,
and as the rich liquor coursed through
his blood he Strengthened himself and
stood before them with a grace and dig
nifty that all his rags could not obscure.
Gentlemen" he said, II look tonight
at you and myself, and it seems to me
that 1 look upon the picture of my lost
manhood. This bloated face was once as
young and handsome as yours. This
stumbling figure once walked as proudly
as yours. A man in the world of men, l,
too, once had a home and friends and
a position. had a wife as beautiful
as an artists dream and l dropped the
priceless pearl of her love and honor in
the wine cup, Cleopatra like, saw it
dissolve, and quaffed it down in the
trimming %draught. 1 had children as
sweet and l saw them fade and die under
the blighting curse of a drunkard father.
II had a home where love lit the flame
upon the altar and ministered before it,
and l put out the holy fire, and darkness
and desolation reigned in its stead. 1
had aspirations and ambitions that
scared as high as the morning star, and
broke and bruised their beautiful wings,
and at last s~trangled them that I might
be tortured by their cries no more. Today
l am a husband without a wife, a father
without a child, a tramp with 10 place
to call my home, a man in whom every
good impulse is dead-and all swallowed
up in the maelstrom Of drink"
The tramp ceased speaking. The glass
fell from his nerveless fingers and shat
tered into a thousand fragments upo
the floor. The swinging doors pushed
open and shut again, and when the little
| group about the bar looked up the tramp
was gone.

Sunday is the day OF rest but did you
ever know a man who felt rested on
Monday morning?
It often happens that when a man
knows his duty he tries to stave it of
by seeking advice.
Too often the man with the hoe gets
the worst of the encounter with the man
with the gold brick.
When an old man dies and his relatives
say that he is better or, the chances are
that he Is,
