PENNSYLVANIA RESULTS

It is an interesting revelation which nas been made by the primary re- suits in the state of Pennsylvania. where as hard campaigns were waged TOT nomination as for many elections. Particularly important was the out come because of the issue which had been made of Penroseism and vet the outcome shows that the great majority were swayed less by the attacks which nave been made upon that claim than by the general conditions which exist and which it is desired to overcome
 The very large majority by which Fenrose won shows the reason for the heavy party registration which pre-
 ceded the primary. It reached such numbers as to cause uncertainty as 10 what 1t meant. It was realizad mat there was a large return from
 me ranks of the progressives, but whetner 1t was for the purpose of tending support to the, principles of lne party or for the support of the Ddmmsck candidacy. which gave prom ise or stronger backing, was uncer- .an- Ine ngures tell the story just the same as they did in the recent New Jersey election. ii shovs tpe serength of tho respective candidates and 1t likewise indicates the deter mfnAflon to support republican prfn- @pies. The heavy registration and the stg Penroso victory can we'll be taken as . protest against the conduct e national affairs under the present ad ministfation, and an acknowIedgnent Of the futflfty of the third party.

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Go Forth and Do.

When we see a deed we can gen. erally say whether it is good or evil. We may be partially mistaken as to it's motive, we may not have sufficient foresight to see its consequence; for all that, most ightforward actions are usually intelligible enough, at least to those who do them, and if we de- sire mental sanity we must be the doers, not the mere onlookers. Where do we come from what was the sphere of our spiritual beginnings? We can not tell: being here, let us go forth and do something good.
 Let not thought be undervalued; it is the divine spark in man, the root of his possible nobility, the inspiration of his progress But as thought Is im- pressed on the world only by action, so 1t is only by action that it is im- pressed on the individual. Thought that never becomes active Is a dead thing. It may become like slough. bottomless nire. from which not even grasses grow: but it should be a living force like a powerful river, go- ing to water and fertilize far places, turning mills on its way that grind the peoples bread What we really have to beware of is the kind of thought that leads to mere muddie- headedness, simple stagnation and confusion.
 To help fn building a better human ity, to fight against meanness and ay- ariea and cruel yiee--te have tender words CT at least a hand grasp for the suffering: gentle respect fer the aged. cheering eneeuRa cement fer the yeung, an nEwara push fer the man Whe is dewn. smile fer every little ei1id-these are forms of service to which we can all attain; any or all of these are better than prefitiess think ing We find life's riddle tse great Ter usi let us leave it-iet us go forth Ia I.

CHANCE TO CUT WASTE.

Perhaps nothing has served to call attention to the evil of leave to print in the Congressional Record and the waste of money through the printing of documents for which the country has no use and which require large sums to compile and store, than the speech by Senator LaFollette. In his address to the upper house what the senator actually said occupied but seven pages of the Congress ssional Rec ord, but what he read into that daily record of congressional doings through documents submitted amounted to 365 pages and in being made up as part two of the days doings cost the gov ernment over s12,00o. He over-exer- cised a privilege extended to senators and it is but natural to wonder how many will ever read it and what good will ever come from it. It is easy to see what might happen if every senator sought to extend his privilege to such a limit.
 Though he may be thoroughly wound up in his subject, the senator should have had experience enough to know that it is the short speech-to the point which is read and which is likely to make the strongest appeal. There is nothing in his whole voluminous speech which would be missed, but there would be a whole lot of time and money saved, or devoted to better purposes if such practices were elim- hated. It is just such abuse which directs so much opposition to the practice of filling the Congressional Record with campaign speeches and other reading matter entirely outside the doings of congress. It reveals the opportunity for the elimination of a large amount of absolute waste.

CROP HARvEsTERs.

In getting out its call for the 10000 mon needed to harvest it's crops this year Kansas is making an early start but if past experiences are a criterion 1t Is not bit too early. With the great number about the country who are seeking work that section should be able to furnish a sufficient quota to get in it's grain even though a bumper crop is looked for, and yet while thousands might parade the streets denouncing capital and crying for work none knows better than Kansas the difficulty which exists in securing the help of a large proportion of those very same men. Kansas will not be the only state to offer employment to large numbers during the harvesting season, yet each any every one Of them knows perfectly well the trouble which will be experienced in getting the labor
 It is only the usual state of affairs There is always trouble when business of all kinds is booming and all class es of help are scarce. and there is like wise trouble when there are slack times and plenty of help is available, but is particul0 about what it does for living Machinery has con- trfbuted greatly to the relief of the big grain raising states, but it has by no means dispensed with laborers entirely. The problem of help has all ways been a big one with the west ern farmers, particularly during the harvest season which means only small part of the year. and it is like ly to continue until there is a better distribution or until those sections pro- vide work for the harvesters during the remainder of the year. Depend ing upon the idle is a decidedly un certain proposition. They work only when and if they please
