THOUGHTS BY THE WAY.

The opposition to President Taft
must admit, that he is honest,
fearless in the discharge of his
duties as the chief executive of the
nation and not politician in the
ordinary acceptation OF that word.
He is undoubtedly one of the
brainiest men that occupied the
presidential chair as is indicated
by his messages to congress. He
has done some things which did
not meet with our approval, for in
stance the retention of one Balling-
er, in his cabinet, but then, we
must give him credit for standing
by his appointees until he discover
ed that they were unworthy of con-
fdence. AS a statesman, he stands
head and shoulders above those
who are endeavoring to succeed
him, yet the writer is firmly of the
opinion it is time for political
change for the good of the party.
1t is alleged upon good authority,
that the government is paying eight
times as much per pound to the
railroads for carrying its mail as
the railroads charge the express
companies for carrying express
packages. That is probably the

A special census of the insane
confined in institutions in this
country in 1910 according to a re-
port from the census bureau num-
bered I87,454 an increase of $500
over the previous year while the
population has increased II per
cent in six years prior to 1910 the
population in the insane asylums
has increased about 20 per cent.
There must be a cause for such a
large number of patients in the
institutions for their care and is a
subject that calls for investigation
The hurly-burly OF life, high living,
anxiety and poverty may be the
primary cause to say nothing OF
half breed politics.

Why 'TiS Stdid Little Town

Chase the farmers; chase inventors,
Scholars, clergy and investors!
Away, merchant and ye banker!
Keep arresting them that banker
For right, towns growth and Morality
In this staid old little town.
Multiply bylaws and ply them,
Only, where they the good will stern?
Forget Decency-Equality
For rum and frivolity?
Cherish Immortality? No.
Your right-That's why, it's staid
little town!
