Adirondack.

The word Adirondack" comes to uS
from the language of the Mohawks.
With them 1t was Ha-deron-dack and
meant wood eaters. This term was
applied in derision to a few members
OF a once powerful branch OF the Al
gonquins. who were defeated by the
Iroquois and forced to seek refuge In .
fastness OF the mountains They were
in great distress. and II In said they
sent messengers to their victors asking
them to make no further war upon
them, as they were reduced to the ne
cessity OF eating roots and the bark OF
trees. A few of them finally escaped
to the north, and others were captured
and held in slavery by the Mohawks

A Salute Returned,

the Christmas holidays. and the chill

the coming festivities than about their
studies, so it had been rather unsatis-

"Well, children" said the supervisor
as he was about to leave, Il wish you
all a merry Christmas, and I hope that
when you return after the holidays
you will have more music in your
heads than you have today"
Without moments hesitation came
the reply from forty little urchins.

A Smoke INSPECTOR.

A Chicago politician imported his
cousin from the old country and had
him appointed a smoke inspector. This
was in the old days. He was turned
loose to inspect without any instruc-
ton whatever. and this is the report
he rendered at the end Of the first
month:
Il certify that / have inspected the
smoke of this city for the thirty days
past l find plenty of smoke and same
is apparently of good quality. Respect
fully submitted. "-}Pittsburgh Post.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE.
Hear Cernegiei

The solemn old fraud. The apostle
of smugness and the silver dollar:
One rule have often suggested to
youth. Remain teetotalers until you
have become millionaires.' Certain am
that this would greatly accelerate
their victory
Believe me, the young man who
drinks or smokes voluntarily handi-
caps himself in the race of life. That
he does either or both shows that he
lacks something; he does not know
how best to train himself for the race.
The coming man leaves nothing to
chance, nor, mark you, does he spend
his slender means foolishly, certainly
not if he is to prove the coming mil
lionaire You find him stripped for the
race. CARRYING no superfluous weight
in the day of trial "Trifles these" no
doubt some may be thinking-es-
pecially smoking-but, remember. We
have seen it is almost impossible to
know what are trifles. In the race of
life foot ahead wins the race; pin
turns the scale"
What this utterance has to say of
drink is true enough.
But it is to be doubted if smoking
has the evil effects that are oftener
than not attributed to it.
And as a deterrent to financial sue
cess it is negligible.
In this particular it is to be feared
that the wondrous Carnegie is, in COM
mon parlance, talking through his cele-
brated hat.
The rankest financial failures who
ever fell under the observation of this
column never pulled the noxious
weed.
And some undoubted successes at
NARROWING pennies, nickles, dimes and
dollars and segregating them in strong
boxes from whence they re-issued in
a golden stream of profitable invest
ments were devotees at the shrine of
the blue-aureoled goddess.
You constantly read of old settlers
who attribute their longevity to the
trail of the merry pipe.
To be sure these sometimes pass on
by the work-house route. Then again
ering these announcements from the
midst of broad acres and we'll filled
barns"
Smoking, in fact, never kept any
body from getting on financially.
No doubt many men smoke too
much.
And cigarettes should be prohibited
the immature.
But, in moderation, smoking is a
comfortable and domestic habit.
A man who can smoke at home will
generally smoke there.
If he is run out of the house by his
Clearly and godly feminine kin, either
conjugal or otherwise, he will seek
smoking quarters elsewhere.
And possibly more vivacious enter
tainment.
If men want to smoke in the house
the. women of the menage should
make no objection. Unless, of course,
it's prohibition is made with the ex-
press purpose of Kidding themselves
of his obnoxious presence.
There are instances, and not infre-
mind the smoke SO much as the
Smokee.
There are women and women.
Then again there are men and men.
But, if man smokes decent tobac-
CO, let him have the house to smoke
in.
When the master has had a good
dinner followed by comfortable
smoke the canny woman can generally
get what she wants within reason.
Sometimes without.
Besides house-smoking will, in the
end, save much wear and tear on the
nerves and the temper by obviating
or at least diminishing the rigours of
the annual cleanup.

The condition of John Alexander,
city car wreck victim, who has been
confined at the hospital since the
wreck, is very satisfactory. Despite his
advanced age, his injuries are much
improved and it is believed he will be
strong enough to be removed to his
home in a few weeks.

That .is as true In politics as 4 10
in ethics Of everyday life. The
Roosevelt electors are on the Re-
publican ballot--not because the Re-
publIcans OF Kansas desired them
there but because at the primary
men voted the Republican ticket
who are supporting the nominees
of the National ProgresSive party
and not the nominees OF the RepuR
iIcan party. They should in good
taste and as a matter Of everyday
honesty have resigned from the Be
publican ticket before the primary.
and they have no place there now.
The Republicans who desire to sup
port the. nominees Of their party
are disfranchIsed In Kansas unless
the supreme court comes to their
relief. There will be no place on
the ballot where voter can cast
his vote for Taft and Sherman The
only place where he should vote
for Taft and Sherman is on the Re-
publican ticket under the Republican
name and emblem and the elector
pledged to another candidate for
president has no place on the Re-
publican ticket.
These are the basic facts and prin-
ciples underlying the situation re-
garding the Kansas ballot. We De-
Iieve 1t would have been in better
taste and would have been more
pleasing to the Republicans Of Dick
inson county had our representatives
at Topeka voted to put every candi-
date for elector in column where
his position would be open and
above board when the ballot is given
to the voter next November.

gested cities of the manufacturing

service in the writing of this in
tensely practical volume. His rem
edy for what he calls the "estrange-
ment'' Of the church and the work
ingman is for larger development
of the social service department OF
the church, brotherhood activities
that come close to the laborer's life.
For this awakening he pleads and
he argues that it is the door through
which the laborer may be brought
into communion with Christianity
and its uplifting forces.

inspiring from cover to cover. While

the church in communities where a
large factory population is found, 1t
also has its interest for those in
the agricultural communities and

interest is along the lines OF social

with one section of Chairman
Heath's letter to the Reflector we
are in hearty accord. That Is, that
Republicans of all factions should
get together in the interest and har-
mony of the county ticket. It
should not be forgotten that the
Democrats Of Dickinson county are
wide awake to the possibilities OF
electing their ticket. They will have
the advantage of a ballot on which
every Democrat can agree and they
will use this advantage to the limit.

the Republicans regarding other

It Is doubtful IL the managers Of
the Republican campaign In Kansas
have really aided their cause by in
sisting that Taft electors be kept
off the Republican ticket. OF course
the intention was to gain votes for
the candidates on the state ticket.
Even the prOgressives themselves
will admit frankly that II " an act
Of dishonesty to place one party's 9
electors on another party's ticket.
But 1t was believed by the shrewd
politicians who are identified with
the progressives that they could gain
votes by so doing, believing that
thousands of Taft men would vote
the straight ticket out Of loyalty
to the name of the party and so
assist the state campaign. One
thing that they forgot was the wide
spread intelligence among Kansas
voters. 1t is doubtful If any man
will go into the booth in November
without knowing fully just who is
who on the ballot. With the leaders
of the progressive cause openly bolt
ing the head of the party ticket and
endeavoring to defeat the Republi-
can candidate for PRESIDENT the
voter will feel absolved from any
particuilr allegiance to the state
party ticket. 1t would have been
better for the progressive managers
to have been frank and fair In their
actions toward the Taft supporters
and have shown willingness to
give a square deal to every voter.
If $4,000 Taft men in Kansas, as
now seems likely, decide to take
revenge on the progressive leaders
because OF the action to keep Roose
velt electors on the Taft ballot there
is no telling what win happen.

THE CHURCH AND LABOR.

A carefully written and thoughtful
volume is Christianity and the La
Dor Movement just published. Its
author is the Reverend DR.. w. M.
Balch, pastor Of the Methodist
church of this city. While a vast
amount of literature has been put
forth in recent years discussing the
problems of the workingman, this
volume is unique in that it takes
up in most frank and thoughtful
manner the relations between the
nan who tolls and the church or
ganization.
Were 1t not that the author is
we'll known as a most devoted min
lister of the gospel, 1t might be
considered that the discussion is too
severely critical of the church's posi-
tion. He has, however, had much
experience not only in thea pulpit
but in the social service division of
Christian work and he has utilized
this training in most practical
manner to set forth clearly and ex-
actly the problems that face the
church in relation to the working
force of the world.
He is particularly careful to state
fully the criticisms that the work.
ingman makes regarding the church.
Among these he notes the current
that the church as an orr
ganization gives little attention to-
the man out OF q job it is more
in hfs spiritual welfare
than in his material well being; that
the church members are inclined to
look down upon the man in overalls
and that the poor man is not well
come in the fullest sense in the
These indictments against the
church are put plainly and ought to
awaken great deal of searching
Inquiry among the leaders of Chris-
tian organizations Of this country.
The day is past when the preaching
Of doctrine alone will appeal to the
who is bowed down
with long hours of labor and who
is being taught in many ways to-
look upon Sunday as day of re-
and rest rather than one Of
These indictments DR.. Balch dist
,usses in fair and frank manner
and shows wherein the church is
guilty more of thoughtlessness than
