INDIAN SUMNER TIME.

INDIAN SUMNER TIME.
The mountains slumber sweetly N
the haze,
The twilight glow is rosy like old
VINE
And human life is wont to stand and
Upon scene so chaste, and so
divine.
We feel that Nature, weary from the
toll
OF pouring fruit and grain in
Plenty's lap,
Is overcome, and silencing the moil
Has settled down to take a needed
nap.
The leaves are turning yellow, brown
or red,
And have begun to tumble to the
ground,
The violet and daisy both are dead.
And goldenrod is blooming all
around;
The haws are turning black, and
SEEM to smile
Invitingly to urchins as they pass
The nuts are peeping forth with rus
And cheerful crickets chirping in
the grass.
The orchards are a-bend with Juicy
wealth,
The cider mills a-buzzing with
drunken bees,
The air a-tang with rugged human
health,
While somnolence is tincturing the
breeze;
The creeks are dancing to a sleepy
tune
The singing birds departing for the
south,
October clasping hands with smiling
June
Who holds yellow rosebud in her
mouth
And yet there is sadness in the air.
The sprite of dissolution is abroad,
Old Boreas has left his frozen lair
And is advancing down the Arctic
road:
We feel his breath upon the autumn
breeze.
And contemplate his coming with
dread:
We know his cruel mission is to
freeze
And leave the lovely flowers black
and dead

The controversy over boundaries
which preceded the admission OF
Iowa into the union in 1916 Gre
ated considerable discussion, and
brought the proposed state into pub
lie notice. While, searching through
old newspaper files a member of the
staff Of the State Historical society
Of Iowa found the following statement
copied from Baltimore newspaper
OF 1915: "The people of the west are
accustomed to things on a gigantic
scale. Their rivers. forests. prairies,
cataracts and caverns are of the
sublime order; their lakes are in
land seas: they measure pork by the
cord and mass-meetings by the acre.
1t is quite natural. therefore. that
they should wish every one of their
states to be in dimensions an en-
pire Iowa is giantess in swad-
ding clothes: she uses the cradle in
which Hercules was rocked. Yet is
she disposed to complain that she is
stinted Of her fair proportions"

The able and brilliant editor

Pleasant,,A. Stovall, now minis
fr tos SWITZERLAND, travelled IN
Mexico several years ago. His
accounts of the habits and ways
Ut those people explain much
that has been transporting in that
wretched country the past few
years. Mr.. Stovall called it ''the
land of Manna"-land of tomor-
row-which he thus explained ::
If you asked an idle man, (and
they were generally idle) to do
some work for you, the invaria BILE
reply would be "Manna''-to.
morrow. These people could, if
they would, learn q Lesson from
Cuba. That country was for a
time very much like Mexico
but Uncle Sam give the unhappy
isle the benefit of his help and
advice and Cuba is becoming a
new and better country. A re.
cent issue of the Brooklyn Star
and Union says that the Cubans
are learning that business is
more pleasant and more profit
h BILE than idleness and rayo,n
tions. In 1914 America bought
from Cuba 500, 900, 900 worth of
products of that country. Since

fore his death that he did not be-
lieye Frank guilty. Thousands
of people who had read the
evidence as published in the
papers sent petitions to Gov.
Slayton asking him to do what
he did. To hang a man on doubt
full circumstantial evidence and
the evidence of vicious negro
was more than Gov. Slaton
thought he ought to do. Life i'm.
prisonment might give a man a
chance to prove his innocence,
and life Imprisonment is by
many people regarded as a living
death-worse even than capital
punishment. And yet from the
abuse heaped upon Gov. Slatop
one might imagine that he had
granted Frank full pardon in
stead of condemning him to pris-
on for life.
The Atlanta Constitution, in an
editorial, headed "Georoia's
Shame" urges an immediate
and thorough effort to bring to
justice those who have so flag
rantly taken the law into their
hands.
The Augusta Chronicle, edited
by one one of the South's ablest
and most ihuential writer's, says
in a powerful editorial: There
can be but one answer to this
assault on the authority and in
tegrity of Georgia. It is a
straight issue between law and
anarchy. Let Georgians choose
for themselves. This climax
was inevitable as long as we
permitted inclndiary publica-
tions to set Georgia aflame.
