PSALM OF OFFICE SEEKER.

Hon. John J. Cornwell of the Hamp-
shire Review has turned psalmist.
Hearken unto the following;
Blessed is the Democrat who seeketh
not federal appointment, for he shall
not be disappointed. Neither will he
be tempted into much profane swearing,
nor discover that big politicians who
wrote him long and endearing letters
before the ides of November have since
suffered pen paralysis and that he can
no longer hear from them. And that
if he goeth forth to see them he findeth
them absent, or i'll, or bowed down I'M
der the weight of great public duties
of exceeding Importance, or with out
time to see and cheer his anxious soul.
Neither will he discover that those who
chased theIphantom office, hardest in the
late election and got it, and who now sit
teth snuglY and securely in government
mahogany, have since seen a great
light. Yea! greater than that witnessed
by Saul of Tarsus, and that they now
knoweth it to be hateful and positively
vulgar to seek jobs at the hands of the
government.
Veal Verify Neither will he make
the sad discovery that to help men into
Office earneth not their gratitude and
that our political masters knoweth US
only when they needeth US.
Blessed, therefore, is he who is CON
tent to earn an honest living and who
burns not with the lust for office, Selah!

THE BACK YARD.

A Boston man once remarked that
you could always tell the difference be-
tween New Yorker and one of his
own townsmen by the way they BACKED
their boots. The New Yorker BACKED
them all around, while the Boston man
never touched the heels, seemingly
thinking that no one ever looked at
him from behind.
Whether or not the foregoing criticism
was just to Beantown, it fairly hits the
ideas of most people about their back
yards. When the rage of elaborate and
angular houses was at its heights few
years ago, some one remarked that the
popular house fronts were Of the Queen
Ann style, while the rear with its gar
bage pals and ash heaps was Mary Ann.
Most people VINO live in individual
houses keep their front yards in pretty
good condition nowadays, just as most
people wash their faces and hair. But
their feeling about the back yard is ike
the Boston man and his boots.
In country village or settled subur-
ban district. the back yard is almost as
conspicuous as the front. No matter
how many geraniums and hydrangeas
you put next the side walk, if you have
ash barrels, garbage pals, unslghtly
chicken coops at the rear, the whole
place wears an air of fraYed decadence.
Years ago, when high tight fences
were the rule, man was king over his
own dominions. If he preferred to be
a sloven, no one was offended eXcept
such neighbors as looked out of the
second story windows.
The modern American town is taking
down its fences and turning itself into
park. One tousled back yard throws
its blot of frowsiness over a whole
neighborhood, discouraging neatness
and impairing real estate values.

many customers last week.
Dennis Brenneman lost a valuable
farm horse few DAYS ago. The animal
is thought to have succumbed to an
attack of spasmotic collie.
The observation tower to be erected
on Meadow Mountain, near here, has
been shipped and will be placed in the
near future
Senator Harvey Speicher of Accident,
was IN this district few days ago look
ing up the political situation.
Misses Cora Bittinger and Leanora
Wiley, attended the party at John
Hetrick's last Saturday evening.
James Tracey, of Oakland, was in
this village last week, looking up persons
interested in Ford automobiles.
Forest fires kept patrolmen and
wardens on the alert part of last week,
as the woods had become very dry.

Most Buyers Now Have
Old Cars to Sell

If you are postponing your decision as
to what car you will take, pending the
disposal of your old automobile, consider
carefully the cars that are made for trad
ing. Remember that most BUYERS of the
better grade cars have owned automobiles
IN the past and that they are disposing
OF those old cars because the cars failed

In the car that you plan to buy, YOU
expect a more satisfactory automobile

lack OF power, or speed, or uncomfortable
riding qualities, or lack of safety, or some
other detail has not pleased YOU in the
car that you are selling. Naturally You
will see to it that your new car will not
be similarly unsatisfactory. You should
further be sure that the new car is also
satisfactory in all other essentials such as
staunchness, simplicity, freedom from
mechanical faults and also that it is
modern in appointment, equipment and
luxurious furnishings. And be particular
that it is comfortable to ride in, that it

urers. A few companies, however, allow
as much as 50 percent. The list price of
the car IS placed at figure which permits
such a discount and still reimburses the
manufacturer, Most manufacturers work
upon the same basis of profit margin but
some manufacturers may produce more
economically than others. Some can sell
their cars with less effort because their
cars give better service.

Some Cars Made for
Trading

Recognizing tHdt many BUYERS OF new
cars this year are those who have owned
automobiles in the past, some well known
manufacturers have purpo ely planned to
attract the buyer who has an old car to
trade. 1t i the same practice as obtains
IN the piano, typewriter, sewing machine
and other lines.
Such cars have value, of course, but
since they are planned for trade deals"
the trade usually being made through a
dealer, an extra large discount IS allowed

takes he may make in allowing too gen

United States could not retake the
Philippines except at the expense of
many lives and thousands of millions
of dollars-if at all.
Our Japanese neighbors, flushed
with their victory over the Russian
navy, and courageous and proud-spir-
tied, anyway, realize fully their abil-
ity to capture the Philippines and
probably to hold them; but they do
not realize that war with America
would be very different from that
with Russia-that American pride and
valor would spend thousands of lives
and thousands of millions of dollars,
rather than surrender to Japan.
Pride, courage self-esteem, conf
dence, on both sides are the real dan
gers. Surely wisdom should dictate
to both nations that, in the interest
of peace, cause for friction should be
as far as possible eliminated l be-
lieve that no more fair, no more just,
no more honorable method for adju-
dicating this matter can be found
than that we are suggesting-the sale
of the islands at cost to the Jap
anese.
Japan would give the Filipinos
splendid vernment-better. 1 be-
lieve, than would any other nation
under the sun except our own gov
eminent. No one can visit the Phil
ippines without feeling pride for what
America has done for that people
and done in so unselfish and noble
manner, as an elder brother amongst
the nations helping younger broth
er. Under no circumstances would L
favor turning the Philippines over TO
the domination of a barbaric people.
The Japanese are not barbarians, but
highly civilized.
My discourse in Washington on the
18th, Peace Desira BILE, War a Ne
cessity," was evidently misunderstood
by some of my peace friends. While
L claimed that nations have never
been able to avoid war, and that they
never will be able to wholly avoid it
until the Inauguration of Messiah's
nevertheless I believe that
all lovers of peace should unite their
hearts and voices and pens and every
energy in removing all unnecessary
friction between nations, by doing in
3 dvance those things which would
make for peace. and by promoting
them. For instance. if the move L am
japanese had made an attack upon
the Philippines, it would be too late.
pride would never consent
to an overture of sale under stress;
nor would the Japanese probably be
willing to purchase then. Now seems
to be the psychological moment and,
as stated at first, it seems best that
these suggestions should come from
an ambassador of Christ. rather than
from politician of any party, so that
partisan feeling may not interfere, but
our nation as a whole approve and
uphold and carry speedily forward
this peace-promoting measure 1 call
for its endorsement by peace societies
and all who believe that war should
be only a last resort. Faithfully YOURS.

Early in 1912. and before R1cheson's ex-
