A PRESIDENT OF THE PEOPLE.

Woodrow Wilson will win because the Amer
lean people want a president who will be the
president Of the people, not of the interests.
Our country has prospered marvelously. 1t IS
still gong ahead. But in recent years its progress
has not been as rapid as Western Canada. Thou
sands OF American farmers have emlgrated across
the border and entered the promised land. Why
Because in Canada the farmer is not oppressed by
the tnfi and the trusts.
The average man understands that he must eat
his bread in the sweat of his face. according to the
divine decree. But he does not want to have an
other enjoy the product of his labor. He does not
want to have to carry on his back a luxury-loving
millionaire who by his cunning has become enabled
to raise the prices of the workers Injuries and nee
essties.
For over a generation the republican party
has been in alliance with the big rich, taking huge
campaign contributions from favor-seeking special
interests and delivering in high tariff laws and i'm.
munity from trust prosecution the price OF infamy.
When Taft broke his pledge of tariff revision
downward in 1909 and signed the upward revision
tariff bill. the people at last woke up to the fact
that the presiding genius OF the republican party
is Barabbas. 1t was too plain to get over. The
ninth commandment had been violated to break
the eighth. Part of the penalty was inflicted. \
democratic house of representatives was elected in
1910. The rest Of the penalty will be inflicted
this year. when a democratic president will be
elected.
The people do not expect a Utopia from
Woodrow Wilson. There will still be death and
taxes. But there will be a greater chance for life,
because of the reduction Of the high cost OF living.
and the tariff take. from the present millionaire
enriching maximum will be reduced to a govern
ment-supporting minimum.
Taf, is the proved presiden, of the interests.
So was Roosevelt when in Office. In thi. present
campaign both Taft and Roosevelt are backed by
the predatory interests. Woodrow Wilson is the
peoples candidate. under obligations to nobody.

OLD AGE THE BEST.

There is only one thing we have to do, and that
Is to grow old. writes Drn Frank Crane in Woman $
World for November That is the due business Of
life, il is for that we are put in this world.
The art Of living is nothing but the art Of grow
ing old.
Instead Of looking upon old age as a wreck Of
youth. the pitiful remains OF a once valuable life,
we should regard it as the masterpiece of life, that
for which all preceding stages were but trial essays
and preparation.
When Fontanells was asked what period of
life he considered the most fortunate. he replied
From sixty to eighty. AT that age ones place is
fixed. Ambitions and desires have ceased to tor
ment, and one reaps what he has sown. II is the
harvest time"
Whether you believe this or not depends upon
the point of view you take as to the purpose OF
human life. II you think a human being is an
animal, put in this world to get all the pleasure
he can. then naturally you conceive old age to be
a calamity. But If you hold that he is a soul, put
here in a body in order to perfect and beautiiy
his character. then you must see that old age.
when the bodily fires have gone down, and moth
ing is left but the fine gold Of the spirit. is best OF
all.
