one name will shine in golden splen-

Be A Booster.

The difference between a booster
and an ordinary man is that one is
a regular fellow, the other just a
namby-pamby. If you live in a
Worthwhile community, it ought to
be second nature to talk it up all the
time, and when not talking about it,,
dream about it when you are asleep
The man who will not boost his
own community is not citizen-he's
a cipher. A community cipher is one
who takes no interest in anything
about the town except himself, and
generally no one wants any interest
in him. All men tell their own story.
If a man is worth while the COM
munity soon knows it. It does not
take long to weed out the chaff and
the oats.
The boosting habit is like a good
peach-the more you eat the more
you want. If you love your home
town, hit it up, talk it up, help it
along. Tell your friends to come
out and see you. Let them know that
you have the finest home town on the
map. They will come to believe you
after awhile. Many a family has
been drawn in just that way. Lots
of families are now on the Hilltop
section because some fellow became
a booster. Boosting may be a sort of
religion. 1t is a good thing to be-
lieve in, to have faith in.

Tricks In Base Ball.

There is no denying that modern
professional baseball has lost GER
tain modicum of color. In the old
professional days there was little of
the tricky or inside" variety of play.
To-day whatever may be "put over"
goes with the sport, and the more I'M
certain or questionable the turn that
is played the better off the club Is
that gets away with it. 1t may be
that sport is menaced by these tactics;
but it would seem to be the better
policy to let the game proceed accord
ing to the old set rules, and not be
so completely at the mercy of what
ever may be evolved in the way of
plays that are merely permissible"
because certain liberties may be
taken on the question of "interpreta-
ton" of rules. Interpretation is
subterfuge more than principle.
"Tricks in all trades" has been an old
saw for ages, but no trick ever yet
enhanced anything that had connec-
ton with human prowess. In the old
games of ancient Greece it must have
made Caesar pale to know that one
of his athletes had gone to Athens
and been Cheated" out of his laurels
through some petty device that "ruled
him out" in a contest where he had
all the better of the argument "Won
on a technicality" would never have
gone for much in the way of popular
in those days. No more
should it go to-day. Baseball is the
manifest of all sports-at least it is to

Men OF Principle

Farmer Jones was a firm believer
in keeping the Sabbath; he regarded
it as his duty to show others a good
example.
But that didn't prevent him loiter-
ing after service to have a chat and
harvest looked larger than sermons
and theology.
"a purity mare we've got there. Mr..
Johns!" said he one Sunday, as he
paused by another farmers gate.
'Iss, she be that, Mr.. JONES'" was
the reply.
eff 'twasn't Zunday, I'd be askin' if
she wor for zale"
"And likewise, if 'tworn't Zunday,
I'd say she wor."
"a strange coincidence, Mr.. Johns"
said Jones.
Then after long pause, he added:
"Now, if 'twasn't Zunday, what'd we
ask for she?"
"Well, I'd ask 45 pounds"
"Pd give we IS pounds!" replied
Jones, sharply.
Couldn't take that" said Jones re-
gretfully; "but if 'tworn't Zunday, I'd
split the difference"
$50 we would" agreed Jones.

Selecting A Minister.

The selection of a minister for the
village church is always fraught with
great interest, many illusions, much
Impotence, varying opinions, an as
sortment of ideas and ideals, and a
whole lot of things too numerous to
mention. Indeed, practical expert
ence tends to show, and perhaps to
prove, that selecting the minister is
about the most difficult thing in the
world to properly surround. 1t can
not be done in day, minute or month.
There are so many and varying things
to be taken into consideration. Here
are some of them:
Does he preach a good sermon :?
Has he got good delivery? Does
he appear we'll in the pulpit? Is he
earnest? Is he a doctrinaire? Does
he preach the Bible? Is he sensa.
tional? Has he got good voice? Is
he pious? Is he sociable? Is he up
to-date? Is he good man?
Some of these questions may seem
irrelavent, but you may be sure none
of them is. When the new man has
delivered several of his best efforts,
generally he has made some friends,
and no doubt repealed others. 1t is
impossible to please everybody. One
person says he is all right. Another
thinks he is stiff, or stilted. He does
not appeal to another, and still an
other believes he is the best man the
community has ever looked over
These and similar expressions are
what the candidate gets, and in most
cases he knows what to expect. Most
ministerial candidates want the job
or they would not be after it, and it
takes a mighty level-headed man to
apply for the position of village pastor
and really hope to get it. 1t never
comes easy.

in the Eastern Hemisphere, the West
has maintained its title as rock of
refuge and justice, it is Americas
work to build upon this rock, at least
her portion of it, the noblest struc-

to carelessly slip back into the whirl-
pool of crime and hate of the world

breaking of all the commandments of

hold fast by what she has, making
meanwhile more and more perfect
thereon her achievement of democ-
racy and freedom.

EUening Post Amazed At
Huuhes.

The New York Evening Post has
tried every possible scheme to induce
Hughes to declare himself on the i'm
portant issues of the campaign, but
so far he cannot be smoked out. The
candidate is either too dumbly stub
born, and full of his own conceit, or
else he is not allowed to do anything
but just exactly what he is doing,
which is educating the people to dis
credit President Wilson. The Even
ing Post admits that Hughes has
knowingly refrained from declaring
himself on the Germans in American
issue, is holding on to their support
tenaciously, and does not intend to
let go the hold he has.
The strangest part of the Evening
Posts attitude, is that it led the
public to place proper valuation upon
President Wilson, yet at this time it
is trying it's best to find an excuse to
openly support Hughes, and cannot
make up its mind.
Too bad the greatest newspaper in
the world should be so worried about
little thing like that. November 7
will no doubt be a revelation to The
Evening Post. 1t will find the Ameri-
can people standing behind all of the
magnificent work of the President,
and it will have nothing to rejoice
over at the flag raising in Europe
over the reputation of an American
ruler at the dictation of foreign po-
tentate. Not this year, of all others.

The HeraLd's Poll.

The New York Herald for several
weeks past has been polling promi-
nent sections of various American
cities trying to get an idea how the
voters are going to behave November
7. This is an old custom of the
Herald's, and for many years past at
national election time it has made
these ballots with varying success.
The Herald claims that it's forecasts
have in the main been accepted as
standard, and have generally carried
conviction. In other words, if the
Herald straw ballot indicated de-
cided preference, the election was
almost dead sure to go that way.
This year, however, all of the
Herald's editorial influence and it's
moral support have gone to Hughes.
1t has concluded that Wilson is
fool and doesn't know it, and that the
foreign policies of the Administration
are disgrace to the nation. On
these points the Herald has been out
spoken. Now, making a straw vote
it would have us believe that the
race is going to be close. The straw
vote says deucedly close, doncher-
know. The public is expected to do
two things: First, it must believe that
Wilson is punk, and that the straw
vote says the race is close, so you
must vote for Hughes if you want to
see him elected, and the Herald ad-
mits he may not be-in which event
the Herald will be sorely slit between
the ribs. Confidence in the Herald is
not inspired for the reason that it
cannot blow hot and cold at the same
time and, still inspire confidence. 1t
is poor rule that won't work both

The "U' Boat Revelation.

The presence of German gu" boats
in American waters is a new phase
of the great European war. It puts
crimp in all theories about the pos
sibilities of submarine warfare. And
however much we may surmise about
what may or may not be done, the
fact remains that the gu" boat has
been discovered to be not only a
dangerous weapon, but really the ter
ror of the marine world. It's deadly
ferocious attacks allow nothing to
stand between them and their mis-
sion, which is to destroy the ships of
the enemy. Nothing has yet been
made that can withstand their at
tacks although claims have been made
about certain types of wire nettings
that are able to withstand or retard
shot from torpedo.
The terrible work of single day
off the coast of Massachusetts, right
in the lane of coastwise and ocean
bound shipping, shows with what
dangers are frought al attempts to
sail in any enemy vessel, or neutral
ship, for that matter.
Another lesson from the visit of
these "U" boats, is that German
frightfulness, even when confined
within the limits of international
law, may be all that imagination has
pictured it-or even worse. What the
results will be we cannot at this
time even family surmise, but we
may readily understand that there
has been great rejoicing in Germany
that this latest blow has been struck
at time when German surprises
were not being thought of. If the
opinion prevailed that Germany was
through this gu" boat lesson has
opened great many eyes, including
those of the American government.

Our Kind Of Man

The kind of a man for you and me!
He faces the world unfiinchingly,
And smiles, as long as the wrong re-
sists,
With a knuckles faith and force like
fists;
He lives the life he is preaching of,
And loves where most is the need of
love;
His voice is clear to the deaf mans
ears,
And his face sublime through the
blind mans tears;
The light shines out where the clouds
were dim.
And the widows prayer goes up for
him;
The latch is clicked at the howell door,
And the sick man sees the sun once
more,
And out DER the barren fields he sees
Springing blossoms and waving trees,
Feeling as only the dying may,
That Gods own servant has come
that way,
Smoothing the path as it still winds
Through the golden gate where his
loved have gone.
The kind of man for me and you!
However little of worth we do,
He credits full, and abides in trust
That time will teach us how much is
just.
He walks abroad and he meets all
kinds
Of querulous and uneasy minds,
And, sympathizing, he shares the pain
Of the doubts that rack us, heart and
brain,
And, knowing this, as we grasp his
hand,
We are surely coming to understand!
He looks On sin with plying eyes
Fen as the Lord, since Paradise
Else, should we read, Though our sins
should glow
AS scarlet, they shall be white as
snow?-
And, feeling still, with a grief half
glad, Il
That the bad are as good as the good
are bad, -
He strikes straight out for the Right
and he
Is the kind of a man for you and me!

A SLdnderOus Campaign.

Party prejudice in this country
never leaped such chasms of form to
get at mans throat as has been
shown in the present campaign
against President Woodrow Wilson.
Led on by INSCRIPTIONS politicians
backed by the selfish greed of the
Money Lords, the country has been
treated to an unparalleled exhibition
of malice, hatred and envy. The filth
pots of hell itself have been uncov-
cred to do injury to good man,
magnificent president and one of the
ablest statesmen of all time.
Party politics as a system of gov
eminent regulation and management
is the only true basis on which re-
public can operate and on which high
ideals may be builded. But party
politics and party license are unequal
mates in scramble for power.
No party deserves success at the
polls that represents a predatory in
terest or that uses lying as basis
for power.
Nothing President Wilson has done
is right. The more signal the service
the more bitter the attacks. Keep
ing the country out Of war was a
moral crime. Respecting the rights
of the Mexican people was a sacri-
flee of principle.
Putting into effect the Reserve
Banking Law was slap at the Money
Lords.
Settling a strike that threatened
the very vitals of the nation was a
distinct surrender. But who has pre-
sented a better plan?
Everything from Mr.. Wilson is pal
pable folly. Really sensible people;
men of affairs and common intelli-
gence have been led to believe the
President joke, that he is fool in
high place and that he hasn't any
sense at all. People actually believe
all this rot, thanks to petty meanness
and vile lying. There is wall from
Maine to California from the anti
Wilson party organs. If his action
was right his method was wrong.
And the little gnats under our noses,
catching the refrais, jot down
obeisance to the fool politicians and
call Wilson fool.
When the partisan opponents have
charged words not Deeds" and made
this a slogan, when his words are
few and his action prompt, they are
more vociferous than ever in abuse.
Let method be right, they will claim
his action is wrong. If the action be
right his method is wrong.

Americas Great Opportunity.

Next to choosing ones God, mans
greatest act is the choosing of his
ruler. On November 7, 100000
American citizens will perform the
sovereign act of elevating to his seat
the nations chief magistrate. The
action in June of the two nominating
bodies of 1000 persons each has de-
termined the identity as being either
Charles E. Hughes or Woodrow Will
son. In all human probability on No
vember 8 the name of the President
elect of the United States will be
President Wilson or President Hughes.
But which?
An election is at hand, an act of
personal choice; 100,OOO,OOO people,
through their delegated electors, will
place in supreme power leader who
shall rule over more than per cent
of the people of the globe, and over
domain of over per cent of the
earth's surface. The great oppor-
tunity is almost here to say whether
the America of the last few years,
and the government in whose charge
it has been, shall be continued until
1921. Whether the America of peace
and happiness, prosperity and honor,
shall be allowed to remain; whether
the Western Hemisphere shall main
tain its status of essential law and
order, it's championship of interna-
tional law, and its belief in the up
holding of the humanities and the
principles of Cancellation and me-
diation.
1t is not too much to say that the
election of November 7 will be par
ticipated in in thought and spirit by
the greater part of the population of
the globe. In the midst of the awful
carnage, the veritable reign of hell,

certainly it is the national pastime.
There are beginning, also, to creep
into amateur ranks of baseball many
of the so-called "smart things" now
practised in the big leagues. There
are gradually edging into their ranks
the things that make for unclean
sport. There are clubs in close prox-
unity to Palisade or Grantwood that
are making lower standards in base
ball by these would-be professional
tricks.
