THE DREAMER

Dream the Great Dream, though you
should dream-you only,
And friendless follow in the lonely
quest
Though the dream lead you to a des-
ert lonely,
Or drive you, like the tempest, with
out rest,
Yet toiling upward to the highest
altar
There lay before the gods your gift
Supreme
A human heart whose courage did
not falter
Though distant as Arcturus shone the
CLEAN.
All, question not if others did not
see it,
Who nor the yearnfng nor the pas
sion share;
Grieve not If children of the earth
decree it.
Cherish the truth. for what you saw
is there. =
The soil has need OF prophet and re-
deener,
Her outstretched wings against heI
prtsoning bars,
She waits for truth: and truth i
with the dreamer,
Persistent as the myriad light of stars

WHAT WILL THE PLATFORMS
SHOW?

The campaign has not yet drifted
away from the personality point of
view. The fight., being waged are
merely fights on personalities. The
matter of issues is in the background
and the real hope of this or that party
to win lies-in the platform adopted.
The republican party cut in two by
factional fights on the personalities of
the candidates will also be cleft in
twain ON the matter of platform and
issues. 1t is very clear that the party
is a house divided against itself. But
the democratic party is not in much
better condition except that it has the
incentive of seeking to profit by the
mistakes of the republican party
where the schism seems deeper and
wider.
1t would be matter of satisfaction
il the issues that are dividing the
party orga nizations might also divide
the parties, and that one or the other
of the two great parties might take
the progressive view, leaving the con-
servative for the other. Then a vic
tory at the polls in November might
carry some hope of initiating fixed
policy for the government, but af-
flliations are not broken for such light
and transient reasons as desire to
settle questions right or wrong re-
CARELESS of party lines.
The advanced price of beefSand hogs
all over the country is accounted for
on the basis that the supply has been
exhausted The growing of animals
for meat is one of the great industries
in the country and that locality is very
happily situated that can produce beef
and pork at a minimum cost because
plentiful. Yakima valley, with its
alf ia and corn. has naturally the re-
sources that will make it profitable
for stock raising on an extensive scale,
and recent statistics indicate that the
farmers of this section are coming to
realize the fact and that they will
come more and more to utilize these
resources for the purpose of feeding
stock for the market. Combined with
fruit raising and hop growing and
other forms of intensive farming, this
gives wide range to the diversified
industries that make these valleys a
favored spot and one capable of a
great development.

FOOD for Thinking Christians which
examines every mention of hell in the
Bible, can be had by addressing him.
Everybody goes to hell. Why? Be-
cause hell is the grave, or death con-
dition. to which good and bad alike
go TO remain until the blessed time
of resurrection, Judgment, and resto-
ration to perfection Of all the obedi-
emit. The Hebrew word sheol Is pos
itively the only hell word in the Old
Testament. Its Hebrew definition is
the unseen state, or the place of the
dead. 1t occurs sixty-five times, and
nowhere is the word fire associated
with 1t.
No Work in SheoI
Solomon said, There is no work nor
device, nor knowledge in sheol,' and
he adds, whittier thou goest?' Why?
Because all in hell are dead. Referr-
ing to the resurrection, the Revela-
tor says Death and hell marginal

"Sheol is translated twenty-nine
times as hell three times as pitt

out OF the slxty-f1ve times. and its
Greek equivalent, 'hadts,' occurring
eleven times in the New Testament. is
not translated as he'll at all, but is
left untranslated. because the Bible
revisers knew it did not mean eternal

HIGH TIME TO ARBITRATE

The first intimation of returning
sanity in the management of Mexican
affairs is found in the announcement
that peace ENJOYS have been APP
pointed to confer with the rebels ia
see If some common ground cannot
be found for the adjustment of diff
ferences and stop the warfare that is
running the country and may force in
PREVENTION that will be more distaste-
full than the domestic embroglios.
If it is sane economics to arbitrate
a strike, why not arbitrate rebellion
1t has not been disclosed that there
are any vital principles involved in the
contest that has led to the rebellion in
Mexico. 1t is rather a form of recall
of decisions. The people of Mexico de-
cided to overthrow what they con-
sdered the autocratic power of Presi.
dent Diaz and they inaugurated g
revolution and effected their purpose
following this with the election OF
Madero as president
Now they are engaged in another
recall and enforcing the demand al
the point of the bayonet. There is
apparently nothing vital in the diff
ferences between Madero and the
leaders of the revolution. Indeed, in
the beginning it arose from the mere
matter of a change in the president
cabinet, and since that time it has
been limited that the distribution of a
few offices among the revolutionary
leaders would effect a compromise
that would prevent further bloodshe6
and bring about the return of peace
and with the threat of foreign inter.
vention emphasized by the modifying
of warships near Mexican ports it may
be that the leaders in Mexico will sec
their way clear to arbitrate their diff.
ferences.

The announcement that congress
cannot possibly get through before
July is not disturbing any one so
much as the congressman themselves.
The people are quite resigned to the
inevitable. Under the present organ
ization congress is not to do anything
regardless of the length of the session,
and the people have some absorbing
interests elsewhere.
Asking for fifty millions to regulate
the rivers is called extravaganza, but
Offering a few millions for flood suf-
ferers annually is considered fit and
proper. and it is. but it attacks the
problem at the wrong end. There is a
line of true economy in getting that
ounce of prevention that will stop
floods and stay the ravages of flood
waters.

Mexico is not only losing her foreign
population, but she is losing the cap

Foreign brains and foreign capital
have been exploiting the resources OF
Mexico and are directly responsible

been made in many lines in. Mexico
But capital cannot operate under the
uncertainties of an unstable govern
ment, and the present exodus of
foreigners from Mexico is a bad blow

with the latter is the proposed recall
of the market basket The telephone,
the special solicitor and the special
delivery have put the market basket

The Young Women's Christian AS

course in marketing. An experienced
instructor has been engaged who
teaches not the theory but the prac-
tice. Better yet, the major portion of
the study is conducted right in the
market place The instructor has
little to do with the driving of bar
gains, perhaps because a woman
knows that instinctively but the
whole aim of the school is to instil
discrimination in the selection of
foodstuffs
The methods of distinguishing be-
! tween the good and the bad are
taught. The pupils learn to know the
exact quality of what is offered for
sale and are thus placed in position

that will result in cultivating this

The Northwest Development Con-
gress, called to meet at Seattle in
June, is preparation for boosting
the Pacific Northwest and giving the
movement the cooperation of all the
northwest states. The time is very
ripe for such an organization. 1t Is
believed that a high tide If immigra-
ton will follow the exploiting OF
northwest resources at the Panama
Pacific exposition and some co-opera-
ton now looking toward that end will
be highly beneficial. The delegates to

the strongest men in the states repre-
scented, for the action taken will be

IOWA PRESS COMMENT

Charles City Intelligencer-Many Of
the counties that held short courses
this year have had abundant success,
hundreds of students being present.
The short course seems to be able to
arouse enthusiasm in every part of the
state except northern Iowa where they
were permitted to die for lack of sup
port. Northern Iowa farmers ap-
parently prefer farming along lines
laid down by their fathers rather than
take up with the fads of the newer
school of farming. This we believe to
be a mistake, as we are confident the
newer school is correct, while the
methods of the fathers are antiquated,
obsolete and ineffective. The farmer
of today should be better workman
