ENOUGH OF DREAMERS

Now "Col" George Harvey is cal
ling ond President Wilson to resign.
AS the Toledo Blade sharply remarks,
this is futile thunder" Harvey is the
man who originally discovered Wood
row Wilson as presidential timber and
launched his boom. 1t took Wilson
only short time to sour on Harvey
and kick him overheard, and it has
taken Harvey somewhat longer to
sour on Wilson. The people would
have more faith in such men as Har-
yey If they showed as much foresight
as they do hindsight. What kind OF
craftsmanship is it that fails to FORE
see trouble, but only looks backward
regretfully at it after it has happened.
We want men now to pilot the ship
of state who are both clear sighted
and far-sighted; the political party
they belong to is secondary eonsid-
Grafton. But we have had enough
dreamers and schemers who can pilot
us in among the rocks and quicksands
but can't pilot us back Of them.--Path-
finder.

AFUNNY STORY

In an old file of newspapers the 9th

had an amusing sound when one com
pared it's figures with the prices of

lain's Magazine. The story was all
about how thankful American should
be- that they did not have to live in
the city of Havre, France, with its
extremely high prices for articles Of
food. The joke is in the accompany
ing price. list. Today such a story
would cause a rush or emigrants to
France. The list of prices was for
the year 1900 and was as follows
Bread three cents pound; milk
cents quart; potatoes, one cent ,
pound; sugar, twelve cents; rice,
8 cents butter SO cents; pork; twen-
ty-fve cents; beef, twenty-eight cents
lamb thirty cents, and veal, thirty-one
