BUYS LAND.

Mr.. ]. c. Anderson, of Side
view, this county, has purchased
a farm of us acres near Jack
son, Miss, and with his family
will go there to reside in the
very near future. Mr.. Ander-
son, with Mr.. ]. w. Chambers,
was returning from the South
and was in the terrible wreck on
the 9. & c., where so many were
killed and injured. These gen.
tlemen escaped with few bruis-
es and were of great assistance
to the injured passengers. Mr.
Anderson formerly ran the store
at Sideview, which, together with
his residence was burned short
time ago.

would remain for the night in
the Canon. A bonfire was built
at once and each boy took his
turn to keep it going while the
rest were sleeping on the cold
and heavy rocks, having for pill
lows stones covered with moss.
The murmuring mountain stream
flowing by the impromptu camp
ing party made everyone sleep
soundly, not even considering
that at any time they might be
awakened by some undesirable
four-footed visitor.
For a short period lightning
thunder and rain had to be en-

nerve and made the best of it.
DR.. Snyder sang and told stories
at intervals, he also took to watch
like any other boy. At five
o'clock in the morning camp was
broken and Clarence Wallace, of
Manitou, the faithful and exper-
fenced guide led the party on the
trail again. Some strenuous
climbing and walking had 10 be
done, but even though they had
not had breakfast, everyone was
determined to do his part. All
the lun ches carried had been de-
voured the night before, the par
ty not realizing that something
had better be saved for emergen-
cy. By seven o'clock Monday
morning Glen Eyrie was reach

arrived safe and sound at their
destination.
Some of the mothers of the
boys were much frightened dur
ing that Sunday night and laid
awake all through the night
thinking that something disas-
trous might have happened, not
realizing the boys were enjoying
the experience of their lives,
dreaming under the starry sky
watched by the silvery moon

sights of the peaceful Rockies.

THRIFT IN EDUCATION

II. E. Miles, president Of the
Wisconsin State Board of Indus
trial Education, calculates that
fifty per cent. of our national ed
vocational expense is wasted, and
he has inaugurated a system of
industrial education in Wiscon-
sin that preventsthiswaste.
President Miles says:
"The ordinary school, dealing
practically exclusively in book
work, appeals only to the child
who learns we'll from the printed
page, the type of child called alb
stract' minded.
"The type of Concrete mind
ed children, who learn best by
doing, get scant help in the pre-
vailing system. AS a result, p
100000 children between the
ages of ID and 10 years, through
out the United States, leave
school before they have finished
their grades. Only half of them
obtain work, and only haH Of
them leave school because they
have. to go to work. The others
simply lose interest, and become
idle and often vicious.
I'm Wisconsin, all children be-
tween those ages who have not
been through the grades, must
go to the newly established in
dustrial schools, and both older
children and adults may go to
them. The minimum time spent
in these schools is five hours a
week, and the employers pay
the students for the time put in.
They are taught English, the ele-
ments of citizenship, and hygiene,
as well as the most efficient
methods in the pursuit of their
trade, whatever it may be. The
latter classes range from machine
shop work to craftsmanship, and
result not only in a largely in
creased earning capacity, but in
turning out much higher grade
of citizen than is turned out by
the ordinary schools.
Last year, seventeen thous-
and students of all ages took adj
vantage of these courses; this
year $4,000 are being educated,
and next year the number will
be 10000. There are at present
thirty such schools in Wisconsin,
with a maximum annual appro-
priation of 5000 each, half Of
that being paid from the local
and half from the general school
fund. The appropriation for
this coming year is $4,000. The
average yearly cost for each pu-
pill is nearly ten dollars. Penn
sylvania and New Jersey are in
stituting similar systems and
progressive cities in other States
are following Wisconsin's exam
pie.
"This new method of conserv-
ing our human capital marks a
new era in the relations of work.

shows the spirit of thrift and the
spirit of humanity to be one"

= On Saturday, September 5th
I made a delightful tour in the
mountains, called the High
Drive, and visited Seven Falls
and South Cheyenne Canon.
We ate our supper on the
mountain and had most mag
nifcent and inspiring view. But
the greatest of all trips and ex-
perience was mountain hike on
Sunday, September 9th, when
DIR. Snyder and the following
boys Clarence Wallace, of Mani
tou; Joseph Turner of Muskogee,
Okla; Francis E. Till, of Kan

on tramp in the mountains.
We left Manitou at six-thirty a.

Canon, then over the mountains
and down on the other side to
Queens Canon, where we took
dinner and feasted on the beau
tiful scenery, stretched out on
one of the biggest backbones of

At two o'clock the homeward
journey was begun, but by seven

long, darkness prevented the To-

bringing such a number of people to
Electric Park, many of whom had be.
come inoculated with the park mi
crobe and had acquired an idea that
the one great need of Aberdeen was
a public park. They were surprised
to find a park of large extent upon
which thousands of dollars had been
expended by the Grays Harbor Rail-
way & Light Co.
They found delightful shady lawns,
gravel paths leading to a hill from
which splendid view is had, base
ball ground with grand stand and
bleachers and dancing pavilion. The
company offers the use of this park
to the public without cost, and has
erected cement cooking ranges, tables
and benches for the accommodation
Of picnic parties.
When analysed this park demand re.
veals about one-half hysterical senti-
ment that pays no attention to cost,
and the other half a real estate deal.
The present residents of Aberdeen find
it about all they can stand to provide
the streets, bridges and other absolute
necessaries and are content to permit
the luxuries such as parks to wait
until later day.

The Outrageous Campaign Of Defama
ton

Whether it be called a conspiracy
or not. there has been a campaign
Of defamation of the business condi.
tions of the country, conducted solely
in the hope Of defeating Democratic
candidates for Congress and securing
a Republican House this fall 1t is a
disreputable campaign, and danger
GUS one. Any merchants credit is
liable to be impaired by the circula-
ton of rumors that he is embarrass-
ed. The effort to convince the coun.
try that the state of business is very
bad is directly calculated to make it
bad, and that is its purpose. The
protectionist propaganda would be
glad to see panic. The last one
We had was when they were in full
possession of the Government, but
their effrontery is equal to charging
any dullness Of business now on the
Democratic Party, while denying that
they were responsible for the panic
of 1907.
The effort of men in Congress and
of the distinctively Protectionist or
gans to collect and repeat and en-.
large on every indication of dullness
of trade, and to predict worse con-
ditions in the near future, is wick
ed and deliberate effort to bring about
a bad state of business in the hope
of making some political gain out OF
it. The. banker in Fort Wayne who
refused to answer the inquiries of the
Protective Tariff League and told the
league what he thought of it's efforts
was patriotic man who was trying
to make business better, while the
League is openly trying to make
it worse in the hope of chang
ing some votes in November. It
might as we'll save it's efforts. A Re-
publican House could not change the
tariff.-Philadelphia Record.

There is absolutely nothing wrong
with business. The only trouble is
that some people seem pessimistic.
If everyone would only cheer up and
attend to his business this calamity
talk would stop Immediately.
"My own business is fifty per cent
better than it was last year,"
Mr. Ford also told the President
that he saw no evidence of any sort
of business depression, psychologist
ally or otherwise, and that in his
opinion business was getting better
all the time.

G. 3. kegIey, Lawmaker.

of the State Grange, Is entitled to
the blue ribbon. Since Master Kegley
blossomed forth as the head of a Sc.
lect, self-appointed, lawmaking body,
and general regulator Of the conduct
of business in the state of Washing
ton, he has devoted his time to cavort-
ing over the state in a campaign of
abuse of all who fail to cheer for the
children of his befuddled brain, the
"Seven Sisters"
In recent letter to a granger in
this county he follows his usual
course of denunciation, in lieu of argu-
ment land calls the Farmers Union of
Walla Walla, Columbia and Garfield
counties, "a bunch Of rubber-tired far.
mers, who are reactionary and who
have more love for their dear old
party than any interest in the farmers
cause'-as revealed by Master Keg-
ley, or course. he cOncludeS the let
ter with the following lie about this
paper:
II hope that what was published in
the Aberdeen Herald, owned and con-
trolled by the prince Of reactionaries
and Stand Patters,' should not have
influenced any one to turn back"
The crime of the Farmers Union
was the adoption of resolutions de-
nouncing the Seven Sisters, while
the offense of the Herald consisted in
printing a press dispatch from Walla
Walla, giving the news of this action
of representative gathering of the
farmers of the three most important
agricultural counties in the state.
That the management of the Herald
is "reactionary," or a prince of any
thing is brand new news in this neck
OF the woods, yet the statement is
characteristic of that farmer of far
mers, Master G. B. Kegley.

Tho Party Platforms.

Mayor Splawn, of North Yakima, a
very worthy pioneer democrat, is quot.
edd in the press as being displeased
with the platform adopted at Seattle
last week, and the Aberdeen World
cites this expression at great length
in an effort to prove that large dis.
sension exists in the ranks OF the
democratic party of the state. Moth.
ing is farther from the truth. The
writer has missed very few demo.
cratic state conventions in the past
thirty years, and he asserts without
fear of successful contradiction that
the convention this year at Seattle
was the most harmonious in that per.
iod.
No platform ever written suited ev.
cry individual making up a party, so
the mayor Of North Yakima is fully
within his rights in expressing his
displeasure thereat Yet Mayor
Splawn will not leave his party on
that account, for the most excellent
reason that no matter how many OBJ
jections he may find in the demo.
cratic platform, he will find cold COM
fort should he seek it in the repub.
lican platform adopted at Tacoma,
and of two evils will chose the least
1t was another distinguished citi-
zen of North Yakima who filed Wig
orous dissenting opinion on the re-
publican platform, Col. Robertson, of
the North Yakima Republic, in fact
the Yakima editor has the Yakima
mayor beat mile in the matter Of
denunciation, and the worst of it is
that the criticisms of the former
contained the largest percentage of
truth.
But, the pleasure or displeasure of
few members of party with its
platform does not make or mar that
document. The only valid reason for
calling political conventions this year
was that each party might inform the
voters of it's intentions and policies
and pledge it's nominees by the for.
NAL adoption of a declaration of prin-
ciples, and upon that declaration each
party must satnd-or fall. The dem.
ocratic platform at least stands for
something. All may not like it in
its entirety but there is no ambiguity
about it, it says what it means and
means what it says. Voters who read
it know the pledges given by demo-
cratic candidates, but the republican
platform-a string of meaningless
phrases and downright falsehoods-
utterly fails to pledge it's candidates
to any live proposition, contains no
apology for past misdeeds in the state
nor gives any hope of improvement
in the future.

SAD, VERY SAD.

Day in, day out he means and signs
And shakes his head in doubt;
His sorrow he can not disguise.
The country's down and out.
The workingman is on the bum;
1t surely is crime
To make fellow-being glum--
They work him overtime.
And 10, the humble farmer guy,
His lot is worse by far;
1t takes two loads of wheat to buy
A 1915 car.
The railroads are in dire distress;
All, brethren, it is tough!
For in detection they confess
They haven't cars enough.
The bankers, too, are stricken sore;
When harvest time begins,
With one accord they'll raise q roar
And build more money bins.
Small wonder that this patriot
Should be so heavy-souled;
A pesky Democrat has got
The job he used to hold.
