Taking the thick and thin Republi-
can papers for it, the strikers have no
cause for unrest and discomfort. Why,
bless you'll The country was never as
prosperous and work as plentiful and
the necessaries of life so reasonable
in price! We have little or no taxes
to pay. The affairs Of country are so
well related that we need have no con-
Germ about anything, except how to
get rid of the superfuous dollars that
overburden US. Complain? The
working man ought to thank God for
Republican overlordship that makes
his life a blessing alike to man and
beast. If you won't take our word
for it, just pick up and read any of
the little 2x4s luxuriating in office or
living in expectation. They won't lie
excepting, perhaps, when Democrats
are their theme, and then you can't
blame them; poor fellows, they have
no other resort!-Ironton Register.

HARMONY-OR LETHARGY?

| A special political writer for great
New York daily has spent week or
ten days in state and captured a
thorough knowledge of the thoughts of
the voters by hurried visits at politi-
cal headquarters, where men earn
their living by their successful opti-
mism for the party.
These stories, embellished with
readable sketches of rival candidates
and the influences governing public
thought, are syndicated to all parts
OF the country and form a basis of
speculation on the part of readers who
desire to stake wagers on their knowl-
edge of the trend of sentiment. Some
times they guess right, sometimes
wrong, but always they are subject to
self-deception in relying too strongly
on these staff" correspondents, be-
cause the latter must furnish the
story, no matter how meager the in
formation on which it is based.
In this particular series of tips from
the field there is strange sameness
of Signs of split, of a strong "re-
viyal of progressivism," and SO on, in
the Republican party, and of feel
ing OF confidence" and a noticeable
harmony" among the Democrats
which warrants the diagnosis of the
situation as one of cheer to the oppo-
nents of the present administration.
The results of the Republican pri-
maries have been proof of an active
revolt in that party, but are not
proof that there will be any important
detection in November. Success of
the Old Guard might have alienated
some Of the other factions, but the
Old Guard is composed of more polite
material. The Old Guard will not
bolt, but make the nominees believe
election, if it comes, is due to "us",
and that means-disappointment for
another group striving to reform the
party from within.
But why is there no contest in the
Democratic party-or is there? The
all-seeing eye of this political seer
dlscerns nothing but HARMONY, a
cloudless sky, especially within his no.
rizon, which seems to compass merely
those states which normally vote
nothing simply the party choice, the
Republican North.
DutIs IldC DTlgnC SKY indicative oil
harmony? Is it not possible it may
be the lethargy of sleeping giant, to
be dispersed when Democratic factions
come to grips as they did only quar-
ter of century ago, when Big Bust
ness went too far? There are indica-
tions of approaching storms likely to
dash the hopes of Democratic leaders.
A few more successes for the Pro-
gressives in Republican primaries and
Organization Democrats" will have
cause to seek safety themselves.
The same writer would probably
simply reverse his picture in visiting
the naturally Democratic states, for
there is primary battle worth seeing.
In Texas the first round ended in
knockout of the organization candi-
date, but the fight was between half
dozen, and the leader is yet to be chos-
EN-. In Missouri, the anti-organization
candidate for Senator won. These two
cases point to a division in the Demo-
cratic party that may be as pro-
nounced in the states where harmony
seems to prevail.

GIGANTIC HOGBACK MOUNTAINS

Mountains are mountains; but the
Alps are more abrupt, altogether more
perilous in every aspect, than any
range we North Americans know
They do not rise gently, slope after
slope, like our own Rockies or our
Sierras. They shoot up in gigantic
hogbacks and walls and pinnacles. 1t
is all very well to say that Mount Mas
sive, of the Rockies, is some $4,000
feet above sea level, and the more
famous peaks of the Alps only 1000
feet or so higher; the comparison is
not fair to the Alps. The peaks
shoot up from low valleys, not from
wide, high plateaus. That same

Moonshine stillsa re responsible for
not less than rs per cent of the fires
in the forests of the Pacific North

stills are usually located in inaccessi-

discover the smoke. Unmistakable
evidence of moonshining has been
found in the newly burned areas.

BOOSTING THE STATE.

Vermont has always taken the
annual summer tourist invasion as
a matter of course" said r. H. Der
rah of Chester, who Is at the Wood
stock to open up in New York an
official Vermont Information Bu-
reau. Though the State excels many
others in It's advantages, no effort
has previously been made to attract
people"
Mr.. Darrah said that the usual sea-
son opens in Vermont on June /
and lasts until Labor Day. The
finest periods OF the year are May
and June, and September and Octo-
ber, when the Green Mountains are
most attractive.

THAT .mskesa business grow, so
why shouldn't it work with a

the auto from an enemy to friend
of the church. When the people
of the whole community know OF
your church and the kind of ser

them to Your church instead of
away from it. The expense of ads
vertisiug is met through the collec

advertising draws to the church,
OF course the larger the collections.
So the ads pay for themselves in
actual money. The good that is
accomplished cannot be measured
