All American. Now.

Colonel Nelson of the Kansas City Star, when asked by the New York Herald for his opinion with regard to the presidents attitude toward Huer- ta, replied: We are not furnishing ad- vice to the president of the United States; we are supporting him. We commend Colonel Nelson's reply to some of the presidents critics in con- gress He talks like an American."- Baltimore Sun.
 Not only Colonel Nelson, but many other men not of the presidents politi- cal party, the Herald is pleased to ob- serve, are supporting him quite as earnestly in the crisis which has been brought upon the country. Republican editors, business and professional men, including no less parsonage than MT. William H. Taft, until lately himself president of the United States, are sustaining MT. Wilson as unselfishly.
 It is now too late to talk about mis- takes or what might have been. Those are past; the future Is before us.- New York Herald.

A f1ve-year-old grandniece is her one confidante, be- cause she's the "only one who under stands me-" The other day at din- ner, after casting a reproachful glance at the other members of the family, she murmured: Yes, darling. never thought enough of myself I'm only now beginning to. hope when you grow up you'll think something of yourself" "Oh. auntie!~ exclaimed the little one, "I don't have to wait Till then, cause I think whols lot of myself now!"

JUDGE BY RESULTS
People Will Take Their Own
 Measure of the President.
Realize That 1t Is Always Possible tc Make Minor Criticisms of Any Energetic Exeeutive-Bio
 Things to His Credit.

In his interesting analysis in Col Hers of the record of President Wilson up to date, MT. Peter Clark Macfar- lane attempts to summarize the things discreditable as we'll as the things creditable to the president. It is worth while to- have both sides thus pre- sented. According to MT. Macfarlane the president is the greatest abso- lutist in our history" he has made the White House the seat of power.
 He has "mangled' the Baltimore platform. For instance, it declared for free tolls for American ships at Panar ma. but MT. Wilson has called. on con gress to repeal the free tolls provi- sion. The president said he could make no recommendation on equal suffrage because the subject was not In the platform. and then he urged the building of an Alaskan railroad on which the platform was silent. Before his election he said the door of the executive office should always be open, but instead he Is the least accessible president of a generation. He was always an advocate of publicity in government, but all his designs are shrouded in secrecy. And SO on.
 Now, all these things may be true. But what do they really amount to The president is able to be an abso- lutist" only so far as he represents public sentiment. That is the sole source of his power with congress. Every president who speaks forcefully for the whole nation in opposition to the demands of congressman who speak for a variety of interests, is bound to be called an "absolutist."
 AS for the Baltimore platform, the president has maintained it's spirit. It details when convinced that those de tails were wrong. It was evident that on suffrage. MT. Wilson was not ready to commit himself. He chose a way oi escape that seemed easiest. It hap pened to lead into a blind alley, and the result was embarrassing. But who fails to make mistakes? As to | accessibility and the amount of pub ncity possible, experience has made the president change his mind. These are mere details of methods of work Ing.
 | It is always possible to make minor criticisms of any energetic executive But president must be judged inc g large way by the big things in his | record.
 Thus far MT. Wilson's great achieve ments have outweighed in the public estimation all the minor criticisms that have been brought against him.

 paper Syndicate.)
 Long time ago, in the days when the clouds hung over the sky from the time the people got up until they went to bed, and the rain came pattering down on the roofs hour after hour, the old men would gather the little boys who wanted to go out in the wet woods to play, and tell them that they must wait until the sun had stopped crying over the death of her daughter
 And while the little boys listened, the old men would tell them about how the wise medicine men got word from the Yunwi Tsunsdi (the little people of the woods) to send the rat tlesnake to kill the sun. In those days the sun shone so hot every day that many people were made sick by the heat
 The old men would tell about how the rattlesnake went up to the house of the daughter of the sun, in the middle of the sky, and made a mis- take. It was the daughter of the sun be killed instead of the sun herself! SO, tuC OiQ LuSn WOulu say, Iu6 sun began to weep as soon as she found out that her daughter had been killed, staying up in her daughters house so long that the people grew cold and afraid because it was dark all the time.
 Then came the chief of the Little People and told the wise medicine men that they would have to send messen- gers to Tsunginai (the Ghost Country) in Ushunhiyi (the Gardening Land in the WesD to bring back the daughter of the sun.
 So the wise medicine men chose seven hunters to go to the Ghost Coun. try, and they set out carrying a box to bring the daughter of the sun back in. When they got to that country they found all the ghosts at a big dance, just as the chief of the Yunwi Tsunsdi said they would.
 And just as they had been told to do, they stood close by the circle ot dancers, and. whenever the daughter of the sun came round in the dance

Origin of the Word ve.ocipede.

Frank H. Vizetelly tells ''The Story of the Wheel" in the April St. Mich. olas. After describing the introduc- tion of the celerifere and the dandy horse, MT. Vizetelly says:
 By this time the principle of balanc- ing the wheel was understood. and the task of developing the crude vehicle of M. de Sivrac was begun. It was not long, however, before this machine was replaced by another. or was, per haps. only renamed. During the French revolution new form was introduced under the name of velocifere; and it's riders became known as velocipedes. In the year 1908 one of these vehicles, shown at the Luxembourg gardens in Paris, was much used. Eight years later another wheel of similar form came into France, and gained popular favor at the Gardens of the Tivoli; this was the Draisine, named from it's in ventor.

Republicans and Meat Prices.

According to President Wilder of the National Association of Tanners, "it is a fact that today we are paying more per pound for hides than the American people paid for a correspond ing weight of sirioin steak 35 years ago." And still our Republican friends oppose any legislation that would bring an occasional sirloin steak within the buying power of the average Ameri- can. Doubtless they think that a bit of hide, expensive as that now is, is good enough for him.,

each one of the seven messengers struck her with stick which they car ried. And when the seventh man had struck her, he stepped out of the cir cle of dancers and fell down as if dead.
 Then the seven messengers took her up, as they had been told to do, and put her in the box they had brought. And they started east to- ward the country from which they had come.
 Tn little while, the daughter of the sun came back to life and begged the man to let her out of the box. But they remembered what the chief of the Little People had told the wise medi- cine men, and they would not let her out.
 After they had gone a long way, the girl in the box said that she was hungry and begged the seven men to let her out to eat; but they refused and went on.
 When they were near home, the daughter of the sun begged the men who carried her to lift the lid of the box just little, for she said she was smothering. And so pitifully did she beg that the men decided that it would do no harm to lift the lid just a crack.
 And just as they raised up the lid of the box tiny bit to let in some air to the daughter of the sun, something flew swiftly past them into the bushes i and they heard a redbird cry, 'Kwish kwish! Kwish!' from the limb of a tall tree. Then they shut down the lid of the box and went on to where the wise medicine men were waiting.
 When the seven messengers got to the council house and opened the box they found that it was empty. It was the daughter of the sun who had flown out of the box when they lifted the lid-she had taken the shape of the redbird; and so we know today that the redbfrd is the daughter of the sun. 9
 And when the boys would ask what | made the sun stop crying for her daughter, the old men would only say: Oh. that is another story If it is raining tomorrow I will tell it to you. J

 Whole seed should be planted fif- teen inches apart in the row, because a larger number of tubers are set per plant than with Cut seed.
 For growing seed select piece of ground on which potatoes have not been grown for five years and that has been in alfalfa or other grass.
 Get potatoes for planting on this plot that are as free from disease as possible, and true to the type of the variety.
