Dear aunt Madge:
A niece OF mine from Hancock, Maine,
and took delightful auto ride to the
adjoining city OF Alhambra the other day.
1t was cool, but the air was bracing as we
felt its sting, coming from yonder snow
capped ''Oid Baldy".
We called on Mrs. Davis, formerly of
Ellsworth, and met Mrs. Armstrong, her
sister in-law, visiting her for the winter.
o, how we did enjoy this visit. 1t, for US,
was like being at home again in Maine,
and l think there must have been some
burning ears there, for we called to mind
and spoke of many friends whom we all
knew or had known in the good old past
time. SUSAN.

Just put them up 1t auction.
And laugh 10 see them 90.
We often borrow trouble;

We seem to take pleasure,
In trying to be blue.
Just auction on each trouble,
And buy supreme content.
And smile and trust your Maker,
And never more lament.
Our woes they may be many,
But still, they could be more;
Just turn the light on trouble,
And shut the outer door.

FROM Chicago comes a strong protest
over the manner in which the Admins
tration is disseminating declarations lead
ing to belief in widespread prosper
ity." A system has been adopted of get
ting reports from the bank examiners all
over the country, which reports are as
sembled and their purport set for publi-
cation. The national bank examiner, in
contact all the time with the class of men
who are most familiar with the status of
business, must know whether there are
signs of improvement or not, but he
feels that the Government requires hira
to put the best face on affairs, and ac-
cordingly he may often report improve
ment when there is no improvement and
his utterances be in decided conflict with
those of the men whose institutions he is
examining. While it is always good to
inspire men with courage and purpose,
It is not right to put false color on
affairs and thus lead men into invest
ments and enterprises which will turn
out badly or which must wait long
lime before achieving

HENRY WATTERsoN calls up the Mex
ican question, blaming Bryan but not
exculpating the president. The Indian
apolis speech must be repudiated says
Marse Henry. This all sounds very well
but we are skeptical. The President
has begun to repudiate himself, we rec
ognize. He is recanting as regards the
national defence. He must reverse him
self on the question of the tariff. But
can he 60 the whole distance on Mexico?
When man begins to confess the error
of his judgments and the failure of his
policies, there is no foretelling the end.
Apd every time that the President con-
fesses himself in the wrong he weakens
confidence in his future plans. The
President knows this, for he is philoso-
pher. Recantation for him means an
added certainty of defeat. Our guess is |
that he will prefer to be licked without
reputation.

only one to aid 1.-THE assumption being,
for the purpose of the moment, that the
purchase bill was of that character.
Since then the business men of the
country speaking through a poll of the

in overwhelming majority, in favor of
Government aid to privately-built ships.
