Advice.

I've been though the mill, my boy,
Ihave bumped the bumps Of fate,
I've seen gold turn out alloy,
I've seen friendship charge to hate,
I've seen plans 60 for astray .
When it seemed they must succeed
Take a tip from me today,
Never go a bove your speed,
Never spend a cent unearned.
Never gamble on the morrow,
Here's a lesson man has learned
Very often to his sorrow
Let an old man tell you now
Serve a lettle-you may need,
Gaurd yourself, and anyhow
Never 60 above your speed.
I've been though the mill. / know
Just how easy life appears
To the eyes of youth, but, oh,
Far down the lane of years
Disappointments wait for you
Vain will be regrets, indeed,
Keep your heart and purpose true.
ENever 60 above your speed.

HIS ELECTION
IS IMPOSSIBLE
Roosevelt Cannot Get Enough
Republican Votes To As
sure Him Victory
WILSON MAY WIN
Roosevelt Must Have Eight Out or
Every Ten Republican Votes To
Be Elected

In 1908 the popular vote for Bryan
was 8, 400, l04, and that for Taft, 7,61S,-
9O8. Assuming that the relative
strength of the parties in this election
will remain the same, Mr.. Roosevelt
would have 10 get the vote OF eight out
of every ten Republicans in the nation
in order TO be elected. Does any one
believe he can do this? 1t will not do
to answer that he will get large pro-
portion of the Democratic vote, for
every one knows that is not true. The
information coming in to national head
quarters is that for every Democratic
, vote going TO Roosevelt four or five will
go To Taft. Mr.. Roosevelt will have TO
depend upon the votes of those who
were Republicans in 1908, and he most
have practically all of them in order TO
stand any show of election. Isn't it
perfectly apparent that he cannot get
them?
In Kansas, for example, where Bry-
ans vote was l6l, 209 and Taft's 1917,
2l6 in 1908, Mr.. Roosevelt must have
81 $40 per cent, of the Republican vote
in order to carry the state. In Illinois
Roosevelt must get seven out OF every
ten Republicans, with the same percent
age in Iowa, North Dakota and New
York. In Missouri he would have TO
have nine out of every ten. In Penn
slyvania and Oregon six out of every
ten Republicans must vote for Roose-
welt in order for him TO carry the state.
is there human being who believes
that this proportion of Republicans in
each state will vote for Roosevelt?
But, while it is mathematically inn
possible for Roosevelt TO be elected, il
is possible, unfortunately, for Wilson TO
win, because of Republican votes cast
for Roosevelt. In the country at large,
il would require but sixteen Republican
votes out of every hundred 10 be cast for
Roosevelt To give Wilson popular
majority.
1t follows, therefore, that the only
way TO defeat Wilson in the nation is
10 vote for Taft. The only way To
keep Wilson from carrying any state,
and thus contributing materially TO
his election, is to vote for Taft. A
vote for Roosevelt helps Wilson; il
cannot by any possibility elect Roose-
velt.

iIrs. Eddy's Will

The full bench Of the Massachusetts
Supreme Court decides that the will of
Rev. Mary Baker Eddy has created a
valid public trust which can be ad-
ministered by a trustee appointed by
the court. The decision also declares
that the heirs cannot inherit Mrs.
Eddv,s property.
The court holds that the Massachu-
setts statute limiting the amount as a
bequest TO religious body applies in
the present instance as against the
administration Of this trust by the
Directors of the Christian Science
Church but that valid trust having
been created it can be administered in
accordance with Mrs. Eddy,s wishes
by another trustee.
This finding fleets only the portion
of Mrs. Eddy,s estate in Massachusetts
consisting of two properties estimated
at Sl55, 600 in value. The most of. Mrs
Eddy,s estate is in New Hampshire
and the Supreme Court of that state
last spring decided that the trust Great
ed by Mrs. Eddy, by which her fortune
was TO be used" for the purpose of more
efiec tually promoting and extending
the religion of christian Science as
taught by me, +" was valid.

The Popular Vote

Figures tell the story. Here's the
popular vote given in round numbers
showing that Mr. Roosevelt, who was
hailed by all Progressives as the next
President of these United States, poll
ed but about 100000 more votes than
President Taft. Each polled about
three million and a half. President
Taft carried his own State over Mr.
Roosevelt, and beat Mr.. Roosevelt in
his own State by more than $4,000
votes. The fact that the Taft vote in
Maine was but $4,000 was due to the
methods adopted by members of the
Republican, State Committee. Maine
could have been carried for Taft over
Roosevelt and Wilson had the old
time campaign been carried forward
