From the trees they built their cabin,

And once settled in their dwelling
They felt free from any harm.

From the trees they built their cabin,
1t was good and snug and warm,
And once settled in their dwelling
They felt free from any harm.
A trust in God to protect them
With the Bible for their guide,
Here they reared their loving children
And in Christian faith they died.
But the sons and daughters are left behind,
Today there are many here
Who will help us celebrate
This, our great Centennial year.
Once the travel from the village
Was by stage coach near and Tar,
Now we go by automobile
Or by the fast steam car.
And the telephone and telegraph
We're not heard of then,
And they used to write their deeds
With the little old quill pen.
Some were summoned by the war cry,
In the year of sixty-one,
Few are left of those brave soldiers,
They were good men every one.
Far and wide Brooks sons have scattered,
But they are always welcome home,
And on this day of her anniversary
She bids them welcome, come"
This day of all others
Come back to home and farm,
From the wide worlds busy corners
To the home where you were born.
Vacant places you will find here.
Hearts are aching with the joys
AS Brooks once more welcomes
All her older girls and boys.
Some of their friends have departed
For the land where all Is day,
And the men of our tomorrow
We're the boys of yesterday
But other friends are left you still
To bid you welcome here.
And best of wishes now they bring
To greet Brooks hundredth year.
l seem to hear adown the ages
voice in accents firm and clear,
Guard faithfully church and hearthstone,
W hich your forefathers held most dear.
Keep Brooks banner waving
Always for the truth and right,
i hat in her future generations
She may proclaim her power and might.

to Crane and his associates We mention it fact in spite of them and fact credtable to the republican party.
 The candidate for the presidency chosen by delegates unhampered in making choice. MT. Roosevelt had had nothing to do with the selection of the delegates He had refrained from any activity republican state primaries and conventions and had disavowed the activity of friends in his behalf
 But his silent influence upon the convention greater than that of any other greater than that of any group of It forced the reactionary element candidate whom they did not want but whom the party wanted It also forced upon them the most progressive platform ever declared by a repub lican national convention, platform that embraced practically all that essential in progressvism. e. Moreover, MT Roosevelt the director of the issue of Americansm upon which the national cam paign be fought. He compelled it's adoption by the republican party, and week later it's adoption in another and weaker form by the democratic party at St. Louis.

Mir Roosevelt and the Republican,

If Roosevelt thinks that he is back in the repub Hcan party, he could enghten himself by asking Murray Crane, Penrose Shoot and other recon structed standpatters who dominated the 1916 repub lican convention they dominated the preceding one. They went to both conventions to defeat Roose welt and they did it in way that would have glad dened the heart of Mark Hanna the inventor of the steam roller.--The Arizona Star.
 It be imagined from any utterance he has made that MT. Roosevelt thinks he is back in the re- publican party. He has only stated that he will support Mir Hughes and the republican platform this year because both candidate and platform ly and quite nearly express the principles of the progressive party But if Mir Roosevelt had chosen or should still choose to re-enter the republican party Crane Penrose, Barnes. and Shoot would not be the men delegated with authority to keep him out. All of them retired to the ranks by the action of the convention in nominating MT Hughes
 Though they contributed in some measure, how much uncertain the defeat of MT Roosevelt last month they did not do it by the steam roller process The steam roller was fired up. There hint of irreguarity, the proceedings. There have been few republican conventions where there such entire lack of the dominating influence of clique We not mention this though. thing creditable

Mr. Smalley's Candidacy

Announcement has been made by the friends of MT George H. Smalley. of Tucson. that he will be a candidate for the republican nomination for state tax commissioner There will probably be other didate for this nomination. Mir. Smaley has been resident of Arizona for and for the last six years he has been closely identified with taxation questions is probably a thorough student of taxation than any other in the state. He time fact, during its existence. secretary of the Maricopa County Non-Partisan Taxpayers League. and during that time he made many practical suggestions the board of supervisors of this county resulting in economies which saved tue taxpayers much money without detracng from the efficiency of the public service.
 Leaving Phoenix Mir Smaley returned to Tucson has been connected with the city government the budget system which has successfully put in in Tucson with the result that in the first three months of it's operation there was saving of s1OOOO. It theory MT. Smalley that the budget system should be applied to the state well to cities counties and that plan of monthly account ing under budget allowances should be devised.
 At the time of the making up of present tax code The Republican urged the application of the budget system state. but the legislature and the authorities believed that the government should be unhampered.
 the system rejected and the result has been disastrous taxpayers and to the government itself. Undoubtedly large have been wasted but we also have no doubt that under a budget and counting system the government in many would have made a convincing showing of economies where there is fixed suspicion of reckless extravagance

The PensIizine of Mrs. Hearst

The protest of Mrs. Phoebe Hearst to the state department against the confscation of her Mexican ranch by the de facto government is somewhat diff ferent from other protests that have been made by other American owners of property in Mexico In their cases. a doctrine had been laid down by MT. Bryan and has not yet been aside by MT Wilson that Americans holding property in Mexico at their own risk
 The confscation of Mrs. Hearsts property in the way of punishment for a peculiar offense- that of selling cattle horses and other supplies United States government for the of its army in Mexico Perhaps that is only pretext for many Mexican citizens desirous of possessing themselves of American gold, sold such supplies they could for the of the American troops
 If such transactions had been recognized of lenses against the de facto government Mrs Hearst found herself in peculiar position. As American citizen it would have been unpatrotic for her to fuse to sell needed supplies to her own government If of had existed the de faco government would, of course, have been warranted in sezing the property of any person who had afforded aid to the enemy But state of war has all along been dis claimed by both and the Mexican govern and the present time relations amicable and even affectonate It would seem there fore that the offense if any of Mrs. Hearst has ceased to he and that it is much the duty of our government to the punishment is stopped as it was it's duty insist upon the release of the captured troopers of Carrza for Mrs. Hearst they. was guilty only of performing service for the United States.
 Unless the government comes to the relief of Mrs. Hearst she may well accept true the maxim that republics unsrateful.

People and Snakes

A New York woman the of flat in which lived other people has brought herself into more or less notorety by allowing some of her pet snakes wander around the apartments and bring conster nation those individuals who could not be classed fanciers. According the information com ing through the papers, this woman had quite col lection of pet reptiles, and her living apartment appeared to be more or less of snake farm. While the snakes remained quiet their owners quarters there objection to them the part of her ten ants but when several of them began an exploring expedition about the rooms of the tenants, real New York sensation resulted.
 One of the tenants of this snake charmer objected to reptiles crawling around his rooms grabbed handy shovel and gave the snakes understand far he could, that they welcome. This incident moved the Hon. Allen Samuel Williams d rector of the Reptiles Study Society of New York, to launch indignant criticism of the welder of the shovel, and to impress upon other citizens of that interesting town that snakes might, under certain conditions be good companions real human beings, MT. Williams interesting to those dull persons who do appreciate the company of snakes and other crawling things:
 'Is there any law that forbids citizens to keep serpents if they fancy them any than birds goldfish? The of the if he really did grab a shovel and beat the black and blue and then cut him up with razor. suggests that his vaor would be useful in Mexico with Pershing than pent up in Yorkve The whole story is a sad reflec- tion upon boasted education, which. far as reptiles concerned remains at d very low level To those who know reptiles the knowledge is com that of all wild creatures serpens of species quickly tanned and accustomed to proximity of human beings and contact with them than any creature whether it scales fur fins feathers The average serpent is the gentle and timid animal alive

Easton, Pa, Oct. 27.-The Rev.
w. p. Fulton, ID. D., in his report on
Sabbath observance before the session
to-day of the Presbyterian Synod of
Pennsylvania, declared that baseball,
automobiles, social functions, moving

things are tolerated on our Sabbath

to change the present Sunday laws,
and urged church members to refrain
from golf. Sunday newspapers social
events and sports of all nature on Sun
day, and that campaign for the pur-
pose be conducted in all the churches
of the synod. He introduced a reso-
luton calling on the minister's and

losing the Sabbath, and to do all pos
sible to maintain the present laws on
the subject. and that the observance
of the Lords Day the week after Eas-

COLORED CLUBS IN
BIG UNION RALLY
Courthouse Too Small For
Event; Colored Vote Solidly>
Against Wilson

The colored Republican clubs of
Harrisburg held q largely attended
and enthusiastic Hughes meeting at
the courthouse last evening. 1t was
the first time in the history of the
city that these clubs have got to-
gether for joint rally and the show
ing made was most encouraging to the
leaders of the colored race here who
have been predicting that the colored
voters will go to the polls as a unit
to register their protest against an adj
ministration at Washington that has
ousted many trusted men of their race
from the federal service and filled the
place of Civil war veterans with cheap
politicians from Southern States.
The rally was preceded by walk
around in which many of the leading
colored men of town took part. Frank
Stewart, a well-known colored attor-
ney of Allegheny county, an orator of
ability and a veteran of the Spanish
war and the Philippine campaigns,
was the principal speaker. and DR..
Charles Champion, "A. Dennv Bibb and
w. Justin Carter, member of the ma
tiona1 Republican advisory committee,
also delivered addresses. Marshall
Fictlin was chairman of the meeting.
The courthouse was so overcrowded
that about 200 of the marchers could
not gain admittance. The First Cor
net band of Steelton and the Perse-
verance band furnished music.
