The door of opportunity, says the
Omaha Daily News, is wide open
for the new session of congress to
make a record as the most progress
ive that ever appeared in history.
Just take a look :«t what cau bo
done:
Regulation of railroad rates and
control o" the "watering " of cor
poration stocks. This means sup
pression of extortion and of the pay
ment of tribute, by the people, on
fictitious values.
Government development of Alas
ka. it is a great enterprise, on a
par with the building of the Panama
canal and the controlling of the Mlsa
issippi basin water. It is one of the
splendid works which the people are
:o do uud for themselvts.
Grantii.g of womau suffrage. It
is a measure in which the whole
world Is interested, it would mean
that, o.'icu again, :.l e greatest re
public on earth ta'ces the leader
ship in the matter of political free
dom. It means victory of more
world-wide effect than those at
Yorktowu and Appeal utox.
Freedom from slaverv for sailors.
Kcono-nie freedom and safety for
the Am.rican rurali.st
Such is the progrij], in its main
features. AVhat does it tell you?
It surely tells that this is the era
when the rights £/id welfare of man
are paramount issues as seldom be
fore in the history of governments.
Great are the labors that have
been entrusted to thu democratic
president, senate and hoi'se. Great
is their responsibility.
One of the bi? mail order houses
of Chicago cleared SS.S22.610 last
year. T'u. likelihood is that some
oe its imployes were paid as much
as from $'£ to $5 per week. Most
of the money made by this firm
came ironi pockets of confiding
peopl: hi'ndret's of miles away, who
did not care to spend their money
at home.
Strange, isn't it, thai meat can
be brought ten thousand miles, from
Argentina and Austialia, arid butter
from Ntvv Zealand an' laid down at
our doors Tor a little more than
half the price charjred by our local
grocers and butchers?
That a woman is not afraid of
a burglar is proven by the fact that
her mind is awake only to the fear
that he may see what she isn't wear
ing scattered'all around the room.
Keep your mouth closed. The
moment you open it too wide the
Damphool Microbe pops in and
makes you want to bray like a jack
ass, says a notcl paragrapher.
There are only seven thousand
stars visible to the naked eye, say
astronomers. We saw more than
that the first time we put on a pair
of skate*
A Michigan paper says: "Tho girls
of today are the wives of tomor
row, and the mothers of the day af
ter,". Isn't that rather speedy?
THE FARMHOUSE PIANO.
The old piano is a pet.
The farmer thinks it fine.
It was the best that he could set
Iu 18t».
He tells the boarders with inueh
pride
Of how he blew his dough
To buy ;i for his bonny bride
So niuuy years ago.
The wires are getting rather
loose.
And yellow are its keys.
Sometimes it gurgles like a
goose.
Sometimes emits a wheeze.
Bu! still it seems a goodly thing
When girls from rustic dells
Sit down and make the welkin
ring ^
