Path of the rtakapo.

Several birds make regular paths to
and from their resorts. Those of the
Antarctic penguins are noted by all
explorers in their region. Very no
ticeable are those ir the haunts of the
kakapo, the large. rock-dwelling, bur
row-nesting owl-like parrot of the
mountains of New Zealand. They
beat down regular paths along the
spurs and ridges where they abound,
so that a person might be excused for
supposing they were meant for human
feet 1t is along these avenues that
the birds go to and fro on their noe
turnal rambles, and as they march
they snip off and perhaps eat every

Republican candidate for mayor of
Denver against r. w. Speer, in 1908,
and now candidate for Republican
nomination to Congress from this dis
trict, has issued the following state
ment:
Let me suggest to the voters of Col
orado, that;
A wise use of the ballot will accomp-
lish more for the cause of good gov
ernment then all the enactments that
can be crowded into the statute
books 1t is time to call halt on ill
considered legislation based upon un-
sound theories of government.
Respect for government and obedi-
ence to law are essential and must
be enforced. The law breaker is an
enemy to society and to government.
He should be so treated, whether he
be rich or poor, powerful or weak.
The condition of the finances of the
state renders it imperative that strict
economy be practiced. 1t will be well
to stop the creation of high-salaried
boards, commissions and bureaus.
There is something radically wrong
when each succeeding biennial period
shows an increasing deficit.
The policy of locking up the public
domain against bona fide settlers and
prospectors is not to be countenanced.

TAFT ON INSURANCE.

Anything that Mr.. Taft writes
about life insurance is bound to
inspire universal confidence and
will be accepted as conclusive by
millions of Americans. Moreover,
Mr.. Taft practices what he
breaches. He now carries $780,
600 of accident insurance. His
strong and unselfish sense Of
duty is reflected in the following
paragraph of this article, which
should be an inspiration to his
countrymen:
"There is no cause that | know
OF that works on conscientious
man who loves his wife and his
children so much as the prospects
of leaving them helpless In tn.
word and dependent on others;
and there is nothing comparable
to the relief from this worry that
the instrrmentality of life insur-
ance offers to a man who has
family and who has only his
brains and his hands to support
them from year to year, and who
must regard his possible death as
the launching Of those near and
dear to him upon helpless sea
of trouble and want. All man
can do under existing circumstan-
ces to safeguard his family is to
get his life insured"
Mr.. Taft believes that the peo-
pie generally share his ideas as 10
the necessity Of carrying life in
surance, and he testifies to that
belief as follows:
at is to the lasting credit Of
the American people that they
are coming more and more to
realize the necessity for life III
surance and are in constantly ia
creasing numbers availing them
selves of its benefits. This fact
is significant of the love Of home
and family that characterize
the average American and Of the
sense of responsibility that is his
highest domestic virtue. "-Ex.

ton. are the people Of Louisiana

1t is the belief &C the writer
that the situation largely is due

decided to unite in what is called
the unit marketing system, in
which the farmers of each local.

the units cooperate under a

Cooperation is type of sell

reason for cooperation is the be-
lief that Trough it each indi-

to the individual rights and priv

can not keep your cake and eat
it too" Nor can you keep your

Yet there are some who would dc
