out, | suppose you can take

Yes, it's a cinch; how delight
full it is that a country editor has
nothing to do between press

tomatically. When paper bills
become due money just drops off
the trees with which to pay them.
Subscribers vie with each other
to see who can pay the farthest
in advance. Advertisers beg for
additional space and the way
news hunts the editor is a shame
When the paper is out the edit
or goes back to his desk, leans
back in his easy chair, looks wise
and waits till the day before

On Grabbing Off the Kale.

| stand by my window alone.
and look at the people go by,
pursuing the shimmering bone,
which is so elusive and shy. Pur-
suing the beckoning punk, and
no one can make them believe
that rubles and kopecks are
junk, vain baubles got up to de-
ceive. There faces are haggard
and sad, from WEAKNESS often
they reel, pursuing the succu-
lent scad, pursuing the wander
ing, wandering wheel And
many are there in the throng
who have all the money they
need, and still they go racking
along, inspired by the demon Of
greed. To put some more bucks
in the chest, they sigh as they
toll, would begrand:" the beauty
and blessing Of rest is something
they don't understand. We
struggle and strain all our years
and wear out our bodies and
brains. and when we are stretch
ed on our biers, what profit We
then by our pains: The lawyers
come down with whoop. and
rake in our bundle of scrip, and
plaster a lien on the coop before
our poor orphans can yip. |
stand at my window again. and
see the poor folks as they trail,
pursuing the yammerlng yen,
pursuing the conquering kale;
and sorrow is filling my breast,
regret that the people wont know
the infinite blessing of rest, that
solace for heartache and woe. -

A Postal Library.

The Canadian parliament has
had presented for it's considera-
ton the establishment of a post
al library. There are 100000
people in Canada. and the scheme
is for the Canadian parliament to
vote sum of S1O,OOO,0O0 with
which to buy 100000 books,
or one book for each person in
Canada. At each town and city
in Canada there will be establish
ed postal library, containing as
many books as there are people
in the town or city. For instance,
Winnipeg, with 10000 people,
will have 10000 books, and a
little hamlet with 200 people will
have POO books, The plan is thai
there is to be no reading room
in connection with the postal H.
brary, but the books shall be
mailed to and from the persons
who want them, the books being
delivered and returned in the
same way as any other mail.
The idea is that borrowers shall
pay fee of two cents in stamps
for the use of a book for seven
days. When the plan is CON-
pletely worked out. it is expected
that anyone in reach of the post
office can secure any book de-
sired in the library of 10000, 900
volumes. simply by postal card
request. It is believed that on
the farms and in the smaller
towns the advantages OF such a
postal library would be tremen-
dous. 1t is expected that in
time, the postal library system
might absorb the public libraries
maintained by the cities.
In Iowa We have q travelling H.
brary which on a small scale has
many of the advantages of the
postal library proposed in Cana
da. It has been giving excellent

We notice that our Democratic
exchanges are peculiarly enthus-
iastic over the Progressive party
state convention held at Kansas
City recently. There is joy
among our Democratic friends
over the fact that the Progress
ives will be active III the present
campaign which they do not at
tempt to hide. and in this con
duct they give themselves away
that they regard the Progress
siveS as their allies and plum
shakers. 1t stands out clear
above all other things that what
ever motive the Progressives
may have in putting q ticket in
the field, the Democrats will
reap the fruits of it. And since
the PrOgressives must see that
this is the sole outcome of their
activity in the political field, it is
but reasonable to say that they
are not progressive, but mere
aids to the Democratic party, for
1T cannot be assumed from any
point that the latter party stands
for anything progressive. There
fore. since it is obvious that the
Progressives are in the field to
beat the Republicans for the
benefit of the Democrats, it
would be more honest for the

Army Burden WaxaA

In Russia the government is elab-
Grating measure for the increase OF
the army which will shortly be laid
before the duma For 1913 the Rus
sian military budget showed an in
crease OF nearly one hundred million
dollars, that OF 1914 an increase Oh
last year Of about ttfty-five million
dollars. As though this were not
enough it Is now intended to increase
the army by three new army corps
and two divisions of cavalry. The
fortif1cat1ons on the German and Aus
trian frontiers are also to be strength
ened and large part Of the artillery
Is to be supplied with new guns OF

The testimony of Mr.. Mellen,
former president of the New Ha.
ven Railroad, the financial looting
of which road is now being in
vestigated by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, makes it
plain how our big railroad men
acquire such stupendous for
tunes. The system adopted by
the New Haven management to
rob the Stockholders was a
method of pure rascality, such
as would put an ordinary citizen
behind the bars. But these big
railroad men, being eminent
tinanciers and upright and honor
able citizens i:) they will escape
with their gains of millions ac-
.quire by sharp practices. If Mr.
Mellen speaks true. the late j
Pierpont Morgan was no better
than the rest of the bunch with
whom he was associated in the
game of skinning the New Haven
stockholders. Mr.. Mcllen makes
the frank confession that the only
way to stop this game Of high
tinanciering in connection with
,>ur railroads is to make them a
oyernment monopoly In other
words. if the government intends
to step in and check the high
financing it would be just as we'll
for the people to assume owner
ship of the railroads. The bust
ness will have lost interest for
the eXploiters.

Should Get Familiar
With the Amendmendments

Voters should begin to familiarize
themselves with the constitutions
amendments and other measures to |
voted upon this fall, says Cornelius
Roach, secretary of state.
The ridiculous practice OF permit
ting an unpopular measure to carry
to defeat all that are submitted. goot
and bad. regardless OF merit. should
not prevail" Roach says
Discussing the measures to be vOt-
ed upon at the next election, Roach
said:
No: ! on the ballot this year is
designed to exempt the taxation ques
tion from the application OF the in
i!nttiative lawand to provide for local
authorities passing upon uthe genu-
ineness of signatures on initiative AM
referendum petitions
No. 9 on the ballot is submitted fol
the purpose OF giving the people of
Kansas City the power. if the SO wish
Of acquiring municipal utilities.
No 3 is to provide for a state levy
of | mill for the improvement OF the
public roads.
No. 4. if adopted. will fix the sal
airy of the members of the Legisla-
|ture at 81 900 a year. At the present
wage, most members of the General
Assembly take the office at finan-
cial sacrifice, and many citizens
whose worldly goods are limited ara
practically prevented from aspiring
to the office of lawmaker.
No. is intended to give st. Louis
debt-making power for the purpose OF
building or acquiring a subway. II
the people OF St. Louis want sub
way, what sane objection can their
be to letting them have it if they
want to pay for it with their own
money? The bigger and better st.
Louis becomes, the greater and rich-
er is the state.
No. 6is another good roads measure.
This Is to grant the people Of spe-
cial or general road district the pow
er to make levy for read purposes
If the voters of the district so de-
eide by majority vote.
No. : is for the purpose of pro
viding by law fer the payment OF
pensions to the deserving blind.
No. is to provide for slight
change in the proceeding for amend
ing charters of cities having more
than 100 900 inhabitants.
This year for the first time the
provisions of the referendum law will
be applied in Missouri. Four acts
Of the Forty-seyenth General Assem-
bly, have been suspended, and will
be referred to the people at the No
lection. Here is the first test of
fhe ability of Missouri voters to
do statutory legislating. The first
one of these propositions will be
nubered nine or the ballet.
No. 9 relates to the number of men
railroads shall employ on certain
trains, and fixes what is known as
a full crew."
No 10 Is known as the county
unit" local option liquor law. It's
object is to control the liquor traf-
fic, with the county as the basic unit
No. II is designed to delegate the
excise powers of the state over ST.
Lo'lts to the City Of S., Louis through
its local officers. The excise power
relates to the control of the liquor
traffic.
No. II is similar delegation of
state power with reference to police
control of St. Louis The last two
are popularly known as home rule
laws.
Other propositions may be added
yet this year through initiative pc
1Aions. These may be filed up to
August Sth.

Progressives to abandon all claim
to a distinctive party purpose and
unite with the Democrats as
Democrats.

Considerable significance car
be said to lie in the fact that the
recent attempt of militia officers
to recruit the state nationa.
guard among the laboring class
i'll the lead mining district of St.
Francois County was complete
failure. That the young labor.
ing men o. this country are dis
inclined to do military service is,
however, not proven by this lack
Of interest in maintaining the
state militia up to its full strength
for when it recently seemed al
most certain that We we're to
have war with Mexico. the re
crultinE offices of the reguia l.
army were ;hronGeu with young
mrn AtrEin4 to enlist. The dis
favor with which the working
people look upon the state militia
comes from the fact that the
state soldiery is made the power
to hold the working masses in
subsection to organized capital.
When labor wars with capital,
the young working men, organic
ed as a state guard are turned
against their own class, and may
be ordered to shoot down their
own fathers and brothers. La
Dor has no right under our laws
to call out the state soldiery to
support it's contention against
capital. 1t is this one sidedness
of the thing that is making the
laboring class view militia service
with contempt. just how far it
is right each of our readers may
form his own conclusions.

A Democratic paper wants to
know what use there is in con
stantly reminding people that
times are hard and business all
shot to pieces. No particular
use. Everybody is fully and
frightfully aware of it anyway
Still, there is fully as much use
of the Republican papers doing
it, now that it is fact, as there
was of Democratic papers doing
it two years ago, when there was
not the semblance of truth in the
claim.-Preston Republican.

well, Iron county Is dry,
and | trust everybody is satisfied
with the vote he cast in the cleo
ton. We have added another to
the innumerable legal thou shalt
nots' binding US to straightlac-
ed virtuouS existence. tho Mil
lenium still seems afar off. There
is the Tobacco Habit yet to be
dealt with, and after that, the
coffee habit; and, beyond these,
other vices and weaknesses to be
legislatively suppressed and abat-
ed. But, eventually, if there be
no revulsion from zeal in the re
form of our neighbor, law will
duly protect every man against
himself, giving to individual char
acter and stamina the utilitarian
qualities of a second hand post
age stamp. Our statue books
will then happily fence the
straight and narrow way to eter-
nal beatltude. -Ironton Register.
Come, now, Bro. AXE, aren't
you taking a laundiced view of
the matter? What boots it that
you must henceforth, within the
precincts of your bailiwick,
abandon to authority the person
al privilege of taking one" when
you feel like it? From what we
know of you. it is a small matter
to yourself whether you take
one or not; you merely feel that
society has infringed upon your
personal rights in saying that
you shall not. And are you not
somewhat selfish in this attitude?
Your neighbor may not be the
man that you are-that he may
take one" or leave it alone, as
he pleases. He might, as has
often been the case, in exercis-
ing the personal privilege of
taking one" he might repeat the
operation. until he was ripe
for murder and make himself a
nuisance to society in general,
and, perhaps, to an individual
like yourself, in particular.
When such a man cannot control
himself society must fence the
straight and narrow way" for
him to decency, cen though by
SO doing it must give up some of
it's own privileges. Thelegal thou
shalt not" in this respect, will
call for small sacrifice for the
welfare of his brother, his broth
el's wife and children from any
one but the man for whose con-
troll we enact prohibitory laws
against his licenses under the
rights of personal privilege.
