Had Congress been in session when
: German emis5aries and agents be-
gan the agitation for an embargo on
munitions of war it might have succeed
ed. 1t was advocated by a subsidized
press, by men of German birth who had
taken out naturalization papers and en-
joyed all the privileges, opportunities
and advantages of American citizenship
but who in the present crisis are for the
Fatherland, and by the pe.ce-at-any-
price people, who are as inconsistent as
the Prohibitionists who vote the Demo-
cratic ticket. The specious argument
that Only by prohibiting the expectation
of munitions could this country main
tain its neutrality was readily exposed as
a measure to aid the Germans, and while
this agitation was going on an attache
of the German legation at Washington
frankly admitted that not only was
Germany buying munitions in this coun-
try, but was buying, or endeavoring to
buy, the factories in which they are pro-
duced in order to control their output. 1t
is further believed that the German
propaganda has been endeavoring to
bring about a declaration of war against
Germany, which could only operate
against the Allies, and while this coun-
try has been placed IN a humiliating posi-
ton by allowing the murder of her citi-
zens by the Germans to continue it is
better to endure that than to aid, how
ever indirectly, a country that is a
menace to the civilized world.

GET RID OF HUM0RS
AND AVOID SICKNESS

Humors in the blood cause inter-
nal arrangements that affect the
whole system, as we'll as pimples,
boils and other eruptions, and are
responsible for the readiness with
which many people contract disease.
For forty years Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla has been more successful than
any other medicine in expelling
humors and removing their inward
and outward effects. Get Hoods.
No other medicine acts like it.

A Wisconsin dairy expert points out
that, the country over, dairy farmers
own the farms they work to a greater
degree than most other farmers Farm
and Fireside.
A local business man says there has
been more loss than gain to Waldo coun-
ty from potato growing, and that is I'M
questionably true of recent years, and is
certainly true of the early days, when
practically every one engaged in the po-
tato business failed. This gentlen an
thinks dalrying is the most profitable
industry for Waldo county, as there is
always a ready cash market for cream
and the keeping of stock provides the
best of fertilizer for maintaining, and
increasing, the productiveness of the
farms. Good prices for all dairy pro-
ducts have prevailed for some time and
are likely to continue, and dairying is
not materially affected by the weather
conditions which this season have result
ed in a general failure of crops.
The Seattle Sun, which is of course
a Democratic newspaper, presumes upon
the ignorance of it's readers when it en-
deavors to convict Mr.. Taft of inconsis-
tency because in recent address at St.
Louis he insisted that the time is now
at hand to intervene in Mexico" when
as President he "did not make any move
toward putting down the Mexican revo-
luton by force" In fact, this country
had no grounds for intervention in Mex
leo during President Taft's administra-
ton and with the large mindedness char
acteristic Of the man he refrained from
outlining policy with regard to that
country lest it might en- barrass his sue
cessor. Neither Presiden: Taft nor
President Wilson had any right to inter-
fere in Mexican affairs, other than to
protect the lives and property of Amer
leans in that country, but which the
present administration has signally fail
ed to do. The attempt to dictate who Mex
leo should, have for president, and the
supplying of munitions to the revolution
lists, were not only unwarranted but have
caused unnecessary bloodshed and de-
struction of property. and the end is not
yet.

same erect upon SOmeOOQy else. To-
! day is short; yesterday has gone; now if
you have anything to do, get busy" A
few moments ago one of the parlor
maids came through the lobby with a
big branch of red autumn leaves-a pos
tive proof that yesterday has gone, and
that something that was summer-like
despite the rain, has gone with it. We
are close upon the threshold of autumn,
an autumn that differs q little from
other autumns we have known, because
of the trouble and uncertainty that hangs
yer the nation, and makes every heart
little anxious as to what today, how
ever short, may bring forth. The gen
eral feeling among the men here-and
many of them here are men of affairs,
W hose judgment count-seems to be
that the hour has struck when America.

where we sat comfortably sheltered
from the wind, and saw the fame grow
brighter and brighter, and then gradual
ly fade and die, we could picture the lit
tie party up there in the glare of it.,
after their hard climb, and imagine the
pleasure the two boys were getting from
the excitement and novelty. The party
had lunch with them, and did not reach
home until long after midnight. In spite
OF the threatening clouds many people
from the house went up to the Red
Bench to view the illumination, and from
there could see fires on several other
mountain submits, including Mt. Wash
ington; but the evening was pronounced
more or less Of failure on account of
the weather. There were many things
added to the already long list of things
that have been said about the weather,
and to all of them heartily subscribed.
Yesterday it rained, night before last it
rained, and today there are autumn
leaves, and it is ready to rain again. Yet
as stood an hour ago among the flowers
on the lawn admiring their beauty,
looked up at Mt. Clinton; at the crows
nest we'll up near the summit, and at
the white tents of the caddy boys and
musicians that cleaned picturesquely in
the little clearing on the mountain side.
The grandeur of the scene lifted my
thoughts above life's ''little day" with
it's rain and its shine and felt, or al
most felt, that could forgive even the
weather. K. L. NEWELL.

The principal reason why motor
trucks and motor delivery wagons are
not used almost exclusively in COM
mercial haulage is because we have not
become accustomed to and are not quite
ready for machines which have been
invented to take the place Of the morse
during the last few years. In other
words we still have the horse habit
and think in horse terms ana use tI M
horse as a standard for measuring al
power
The motor truck has so many ad-
vantages over the horse as IhetloL

exact statistics show that the morse Is

Of horse flesh has increased more than
40 per cent in the past TO years ana
the increase will undoubtedly be much
greater during the next decade as a
result Of the European war and the
large number OF horses and mares that
have been exported during the past
year. The price Of horse feed has also
increased more than 1875 per cent dur
