GIRLS WITH HAsTY TEMPERs.

The charms of youth at once are seen
and past;
And nature says: They are too sweet to
last"
So blooms the rose, and SO the blushing
maid
Be gay, not cross. Too soon the flowers
of spring will fade.
1t is always the most seemingly per-
feet peach that is found to have a
speck on it. 1t is always the ideal
maiden who possesses just one little
fault that keeps her out Of the earth
angel class and puts her in the ranks
OF human girlhood.
Those who live under the roof with
a girl are the first to discover her
failings. In all the catalogue of faults
none is SO hard for those about her to
contend with as hasty temper. Each
and every member Of the family is
obliged to be constantly en- his or her
guard lest by some shoughtlessly gpo-
ken word or act her temper may be
aroused and family quarrel ensue.
To imagine child is born with q
hasty temper is mistake The spirit
Is tostered in the child in infancy. ]

Truths About the Navy.

We know now when the decay Of the
American navy set in under the
maleficent influence of Secretary Dan
iels and the Democratic administra-
ton as a whole. The report of the
general board of the navy, dealing
with our fall from second rank among
the fleets of the world, gives exact
data. On the basis of displacement
OF ships built and building, the
United States dropped behind Ger
many in 1909. On the basis of dis
placement of ships in commission we
fell behind in 1911. For part of 1909
Mr.. Roosevelt was president. In 1911
Mr.. Taft was president. Since 1t is
inconceivable that Mr.. Roosevelt
should have been responsible for the
criminal neglect of our navy, it must
be assumed that the loss of second
place in 1909 occurred after March 4
OF that year. But, on the other hand.
fleet does not go to pieces in a
day. There are such things as naval
programs which must be drafted years
In advance. If, therefore, in 1909 our
navy had to make way for Germanys,
1t must be that, for several years be-
fore that there was no. that wise pro-
vision of our national needs and du-
ties for which responsibility rests on
Secretary Daniels.-New York Sat

PROSPERITY IS REAL
Conditions in United States Are
Not Due to the War.
Export Of Agricultural and Manufac-
tured Products for Twenty Months
Prove This--StatistIcs That
Battle Republican Orators.

Uncle Sam would be on easy street
financially and business would be
booming even II there had not been
the stimulus to trade arising out Of
the war in Europe said Fred b.
Lynch of Minnesota, in an interview.
Figures show" continued Mr..
Lynch. that within the last 20 months
we have exported $4,000, 100000 of
agricultural and manufactured prod
ucts, while in'the same time the value
of war munitions exports make to-
tai of only 100000 These, in
deed, are startling figures, but we
could cut out the value of the exporta-
lions for the warning countries of Eu-'
rope and have still tremendous to-
tai coming solely from the nations in
dustry and natural wealth. OF course
our Republican friends are quick to
say that all this prosperity is due to
the extraordinary conditions in Eu-
rope, but they are appealing to the
credulity of the people and will,
think, make very little Roadway with
hose who take the pains to make a
careful investigation.
For a long while the American peo-
pie were told that they could not have
prosperity under Democratic rule. A
lot of Republican orators made that
statement so often that no doubt they
got to believing it themselves In
the face of the cold statistics of to-
day the Democrats can get back at
them very neatly, for it is condition
OF prosperity and not theory that
now stands revealed where even the
dullest man can see it for himself"
