INDIAN SUMMER

The season of the year is upon US
which our grandmothers used to call
Indian summer. Just why they called
il that remains uncertain but the sea
sons charm, happily, is not matter
OF doubt. Take any one of a half
dozen car lines that lead to the open
country. and then set out on foot for
the nearest hills. If you are the aver
age city dweller there will be in that
journey afoot all the JOY of exploring
the unknown. of a voyage over un-
charted seas. an dthat pleasure will
be heightened by the season.
The woods are not yet afame with
color-that will come little later. But
they are green and still. breathing
lightly and almost ready to fall asleep,
The trees seem to know that they have
only a little time now before beginning
the long winter nap. and in silent
rapture they are making the most of
it, blue. blue haze hangs over the
farther hills, haze that melts slowly
as you draw near to it, recedes, but
is always there. The sun is shining,
but it is shining gently, with a soft,
golden radiance wholly different from
the fierce heat rays of a few weeks
since The very atmosphere is fairly
like and STILL full of mysterious things
and whispering voices that seem to tell
of never-neyer lands beyond the hazy
hills Breathing the atmosphere and
basking in the gentle sunlight you are
filled with peace and with feeling
of great restfulness. Under the kindly
influence of Indian summer the yaga
bond explorer quite forgets for the
time a myriad small annoyances ot
every day life. Somehow they seen
not so important after all.
| But Indian summer is a fieetinG
time. 1t is here today and gone to
morrow, elusive as sunlight or thu
rich note of bird. And seldom is this
Turing season with us for long. Otter
in October we find these days o
smoky blue and softened gold. Sucl
halcyon hours it is shameful to squan
der within doors; one Sunday after
noon in the open county with the spell
of Indian summer on it, will convinc'
you of the truth of that and will carr.
you through whole week of routin
days rested and chastened by an inne
sense of beauty And when the spel
grows faint-well, there are othe
Sunday afternoons. and the woode
hills are not so far away Really the
are at our doors, smiling an invitation
And if you have not yet accepted tn
invitation and yielded to the spell 9

The beautiful and impressive Par
ker memorial exercises in Judge
Davis court Saturday afternoon was a
fine tribute to a worthy citizen, but we
are impressed with the thought we as
living citizens and neighbors could do
more and say more for each other
than we are doing, The bond of friend
ship between men is often stronger
than it seems and we often neglect to
say the kind things that is in our
hearts. The world could be made a
good deal more congenial IL we took
greater personal interest in each
other

Perkins and Morgan and Gary and
Roosevelt all stand together on the
proposition that the trusts are nat
ural development of business and
should not be prevented from growing
even larger. Berger and Debs, the
socialists, while agreeing with Nor
gan. Perkins and Roosevelt, go even
farther and say that the trusts should
be allowed to grow until in self-de-
fehse the government takes them over.
The Bull Moose an dthe Socialists,
Morgan and Debs, seem about ready
to lie down together.
