BOBBY WRITES HOME

extra. But, my goodness, I should think the man would know that by now, but papa says you wasn't feel ing a bit well and he don't think it's very healthy at Aunt Mary's town. I got your letter inside papas and one with it's own envelope. We are hav- ing a pretty grand time, me and papa, only it's been raining for so long now Of course, that is good fishing and I got boots, but still it's awful cold and things is wet something ferce-only l don't know would papa want me to tell it.
 Right there I stopped when the sun came out and papa hollered to come on, because he was going to paddle We had a grand time and the river was so high that papa didn't know but maybe he was foolish, but we couldn't turn round till we got a long way and we didn't get back till dark and papa was Scared.Th canoe was no good, and he ought to have taken the row boat. We'll, anyhow, it was nice com- ing home in the. stars and there was a moon, only I like stars best. I'll bet where Billy is they don't have stars like these here. They are so awful bright If there is a picture postal that may come from Nellie you can stick it in your next letter, but any from Mamie Kelly you can chuck.
 Never mind about the picture pos tals, because we are going to start home soon and papa says he hates to go back to work and maybe I don't hate to think of school Gee, I'd like to live here always!
 Anyhow this letter never did get mailed, so I'll bring it home to you myself. We're going nome in the morning and we have to get up at f o'clock and that's pretty early ain't it?
 Good by. very truly yours, BOBBY. -EXChange

POLITICAL
Who Kept Us Out of Wara

Theodore Roosevelt, speaking in Maine, and Charles W. Fairbanks, ac- cepting the Republican nomination for the vice presidency in Indianapolis, campaign slogan that President Will son has kept us out of war" Colonel Roosevelt branded the temporary oc- cupation of Vera Cruz as futil, dis honorable warfare, entered into pointlessly and abandoned ignobly," and ourselves. MT. Fairbanks declared there has been real war in Mexico, due to our own aggression.
 In this connection it is fair and proper to think of Mexico in terms of other nations. Suppose Mexico had been as strong as almost any of the belligerents of Europe Would the Vera Cruz affair have menat wa1s? The answer is that we would have been fighting in Mexico today in the full panoply of war, or we would have fought, come off victor and obtained peace earlier.
 The bald fact is that the Mexicans and not President Wilson kept us out of war, if we concede that the inva- sion of Vera Cruz was not war They kept us out because, being weak and torn with internal dissension, they felt they could not afford to fight back. Due to this very weakness, they are keeping us cut of war today.
 There is no cause for national pride in the Vera Cruz expedition if the administration was influenced partly in undertaking it by a strong pre- sumption that there would be no seri- ous striking back. Tackling a small glorious. It does not conport with the 1dealism which many admirers of the present administration attribute to it-Minneapolis Tribune.

LEGISLATION WITHOUT INVESTI-
 CATION,

In his address at Shadow Lawn where he attempted to defend his ac- ton in advocating and securing the adoption of the Adanson law, Presi- dent Wilson made reference to the case of the 30 cent gas rate in the state of New York which matter on being carried to the supreme court brought forth the suggestion from that body that the rate be put into effect and tried out before the court would attempt to interfere in it. This in stance was used to support the course which had been followed in dealing with this case of increased wages which had been dealt with by the president and congress without a pr per consideration of the effects of the legislation. and which followed as the result of the strangIehold which the railroad employees had upon the country.
 Such might be accepted as a pretty good and safe course for the admins tration to follow, was the argument Of the president, but MT. Hughes calls him to account on that in his speech at Dayton when he showed that the legislation on that so cent gas rate was not hurried legislation. It came as the result of careful examination and exhaustive consideration, a course which the president disregards but proposes to have done after the leg islation has been enacted. In the gas case there was investigation before the legislative action but in the case of the Adamson bill it was rushed through congress and the investigation is yet to be made. Can there be any wonder after such practice that all sections of the country have lost con- fdence in the law making methods of the democratic administration?

STEADILY PUSHING AHEAD.

Slowly, perhaps, but surely methodi- cally are the allied forces on the west ern front moving ahead. Each attack appears to yield something whether the Germans look upon it as a defeat or just the giving of ground. which is of no particular value from a military standpoint, in order not to cause a needless sacrifice of lives. Since spring the British and French have been working for the capture of Ba- paume and Peronne. Throughout the offensive they have been steadily gaining ground and they have got ten now to the point where they will soon be able to strike at the very ob- jects of their undertaking.
 There remain few stumbling blocks but they are fast being elimf- mated as is evidenced by this week s gains on the Somme where new will lages have been captured, eliminating with the occupation of Combles, the fortified point half way between the two objectives which 1t was impossi- bIe for the Germans to hold under the combined pressure of the armies un- der Haig and Joffre. and the capture of that stronghold clears the way to the larger centers which are so important to the Germans in the defense of that part of the front.
 The fall of even these two points would not of nevessity mean the breaking of the German line of de- fense but it would mean the retire ment along a much greater line than any which has taken place for a long time and the organizing of new de- lenses towards which it is highly probable that steps have already been taken. This is all a part of the game which the allies are playing and in which they are meeting with marked success

A POTASH FIND,

Even before the European war roke out there were efforts underway this country to develop a supply f potash which would in part meet he needs of the country. Plants have cen established to secure it from the clip beds of the Pacific coast, and ef- orts have been made for the past few ears to obtain it from the salt en- rusted valley known as Searles lake California.

CANNOT OVERLOOK SAFETY.

Tt is an interesting claim which is likely to be made against the govern ment by the Eastern Steamship cor poration because of the wreck of it's steamer Bay State while on it's way between Boston and Portland. The steamer went onto the rocks in fog gy weather and it will probably be a total loss though no lives were lost. The claim of the steamship officials is that it was led off its course because the captain had mistaken a light and whistling buoy. which had been used temporarily to replace a 1ightship dur ing repairs, for another one of a sim liar though not exactly the same type at or near that same locality. The fixed buoy is at Old Anthony while the temporary one is at Cape Eliza beth, though flashing less frequently and for a shorter duration
 Notice of the substitution of the buoy for the lightship had been given and it was known to the steamships officers but it was the confusion over the location of the lights which is claimed to have caused the steamer to be sent onto the rocks. The investi- gation which is underway is expected to reveal the exact trouble on that occasion and it will be interesting to note what the findings are in view of the steamship company's claims.
 If the government was lax in sub- stituting a, buoy for a 1ightship where it could be confused with another it is time to find it out and tRe same holds true if the proper care was not exer- cised by the man at the wheel to dis tinguish between the lights. There is too much at stake in such a case to permit safety to be overlooked.

Dear Mamma: We got here all safe, papa and me, and we are having dandy time. Papa caught four fish the very first day and l got one.
 T wrote that far yesterday and didn't get any further because it isn't very easy to find time to do anything but go fishing and swimming and go down to the village to get the mail Papa is so crazy to get mail, but we don't get anything but your letters at all. There aint anybody around here. It's all woods and the owls and things make a awful noise at night when holler at papa just to see if he hears them, too.
 T wrote that part last week, and now there ain't much more to say, ex- cept that I fell in yesterday and papa pulled me out and l got my gray pants all spoiled with mud. Papa said it was a close call that is the way he said it, but I don't remember much about it, somehow. I ast him was there sharks here and he said 1 must not go out in the canoe unless he was along and he was some mad I guess Anyhow, I get enough going in the canoe with him all day. He don't much let me go anywhere alone, but l don't want to.
 We lost the forks and two knives somewhere, but we can cut things with our pocket knives and eat with our fingers most everything, only, of course, not soup. That we got in the cans and we drink it. Papa he took an awful cold but now he don't cough so much.

Today papa said I wasn't to tell about my falling in and his having a cold, but I don't guess I'll rub it out, because 1t makes the paper look so bad. Teacher said it was better to correct things on another part of the paper than to rub it out, so that's why I ain't changing it.
 Anyhow, we saw 8 hedgehog. Papa
 told me how to spell it. And last
 night it just came down rain in
 buckets, and papa had to get up and
 fix the tent. Part of it blew away and
 he got soaked, so we had to go to the
 fishing cottage that they keep ready
 for storms, and in the morning-this morning-everything was soaked and
 we didn't have much to eat left.
 You'd have to laugh at the bread that it sitting out to dry on the fence and the can was left open that had bacon in and now we can't eat it. It was me left the can open and the
 wagon with new things to eat won't be here till two days.
 q ain't written Q worT1 in this for a awful long time. We got lots to eat
 now and the fish Is biting agaln which they wasn't. A man came along about midnight last night and he scared me something awful. He was trying to
 steal papa's new hatchet and his coat Papa woke up and grabbed a stick and made out like it was a gun and the man run. Papa says he don't be- lieve there is a mother person round for twenty miles and he set traps for that robber with strings and he didn't l come back. So I guess he's gone now Tt turned awful cold and I most froze, but I got on ali my heavy things you stuck in. First off it was so hot we couldn't scarcely breethe but we
 are gone to a, new place now. We've
 been here a long time and we don't get mail only when the wagon comes that brings out the eats. That ain't | but once week and paper he always l asts is there letters before he opens anything. He always tells the man | that if any telegram comes to be sure
 to send it out special and he will pay
