This is the first day of June, one of
the most important months of the pres
emit year. Before the month is over ma
tional politics will have become clearer
through the selection of candidates for
the presidency. In the agricultural world
the extent of the food harvest will be
made more definite. In the educational
world new army of scholars will be
turned loose upon the country, and dur
ing this month the unusual number OF
weddings will begin the determination
of the future domestic life of the coun,
try-the great institution of the Ameri
can family will be either weakened OF
strengthened. So this June is great tim,
to live in and calls for the greatest anC
best there is in each one of us.

class all alone. The day before he
bowed to the will of the convention
at Chicago, he had yielded to the
pressure of his friends at home and
filed his papers for the nomination
for re. election to the United States
Senate. Now he says he will not
resign from the Senate, but proposes
on March 4, next, just TO walk out
of the Senate Chamber, take a
street car, ride to the White House
and go to work. For the confusion
Of those who might have imagined
that if the Senator were really
elected President a few days for re-
hearsal would come in handy before
assuming Office, he naively asks:
"Why should I resign?" There Is
no need, Senator, will be none.
