Peace in Mexico is of the stren
uous order.
Many a married man has a
chaperon in his wife.
Democrats agree with “T. R.”
that it would be very unwise to re
elect Taft.
A New York suffragette says
when women get the ballot they
will reform men's clothes. Men
who now have the ballot might
hit the iron while it is hot.
The farmer who is improving his
soil while makings living for him
self and family is a good farmer;
the man who is making his land
poorer is a poor farmer, no matter
what else he may be doing. The
Progressive Farmer.
QUICK ACTION BY CONGRESS.
President Taft sent a message
to Congress last week recommend
ing an appropriation to strengthen
the levees along the Mississippi
river, which does not seem content
to remain in its long honored bed.
Within a few hours after this mes
sage was received a bill for this
~purpo'se 'appropriating $350,000
was passed and became a law. For
quick action by Congress, this bill
establishes a new record.
FOUR NEW SENATORS.
The four new senators from our
twin baby states, Arizona and New
Mexico, have taken their seats.
New Mexico sent Thos. B. Catron
and A. B. Fall, Republicans; while
Arizona sent Marcus A. Smith and
Henry Ashurst, two stalwart Dem
ocrats. to kill the votes of the two
New Mexico Republicans. The
United States Senate now consists
of 96 members which number is
not apt to be increased for many,
many years to come, as all our
territorial area on the continent,
has been carved into states, with
the exception of Alaska, which
however, is some distance from the
main land.
PRtSIDENTIAL BOOMS.
The sturdy and solid growth of
the presidential boom of Hon. Os
car Underwood of Alabama, is
exusing much uneasiness on the
part of other candidates for the
Democratic nomination. Under
wood has shown leadership of un
usually high order since the Demo
crats in the House became the
majority.
His success in putting through
party measures has been excep
tionally brilliant and he has forced
a hostile Republican senate to pass
the bills he prepared, which would
have materially reduced the tariff
but for the presidential vetoes.
His many friends in Washington
are greatly encouraged over the
enthusaism with which his boom is
spreading throughout the North.
They claim that his election to the
presidency would not only insure
material and healthy progress, but
that progress would be accompa
nied with national prosperity which
is its most desirable companion,
and would be a tremenous party as
set for Democratic service in fu
ture campaigns.

WILSON GEM
OF HIM
Montana Newspaper Hails Him
as the Standard Bearer of
the Democratic Party.
PROGRESSIVE AND ABLE MAN
True Patriot and Morally and Intel
lectually Fit for the High Posi
tion to Which He Is Reason
ably Sure of Election.
Helena (Mont.) Independent.—The
people will name the democratic
party’s candidate for the presidency.
In the next democratic convention
there will be no boss whose voice will
be heard above the railing cry of
real'popular sovereignly; mere will
be no machine which will interfere
with the registering of the people’s
will.
From Maine to California, from
Minnesota to Texas, the delegates
who will assemble to name the party’s
Standard-bearer In the next campaign,
will come with but one purpose in
view—to restore real democratic gov
ernment to power in the nation's capi
tol.
In view of this situation, a situation
which is most encouraging to the
party, It is possible now to forecast
the result of the democratic conven
tion, and that forecast points uner
ringly to the nomination of Woodrow
Wilson, former president of Princeton
university, and governor of New Jer
sey, for the highest office within the
right of any people.
The democratic candidate must be
a progressive. Such a man is Wood
row Wilson, whose record iu New Jer
sey has stamped him as one of the
most progressive men in public life.
The democratic candidate for the
presidency must be unafraid and free
from all Influence of political bosses.
Such a man is Woodrow' Wilson, who,
In Ills own state, unhorsed a political
dictator whose power no one before
had shaken.
People Have Faith in Him.
The democratic candidate for the
presidency must be essentially demo
cratic. Such a man is Woodrow Wil
son, whose political ascendency has
been accomplished only by reason of
the faith the people have in him, and
who will carry into the high office no
secret bargains with those who manip
ulate politics for private gain.
The democratic candidate must be
morally and intellectually fit for the
place. Such a man is Woodrow Wil
son, whose training enables him to
give to the great problems of the
day an integrity above question and
a mental capacity and a knowledge of
public affairs which has probably not
been excelled in an executive officer
since the days of Jefferson.
In W’oodrow Wilson, there is ample
evidence of America's ability to de
velop in each crisis in the nation’s
affairs a man who is equal to the
emergencies of his time. Washington 1
appeared on the scene, when the dis
satisfied colonies needed a strong man
and a military genius to lead them to !
national independence. Jefferson came
when the new democracy needed a
man to take the reins of the govern- :
ment from the hands of an embryo no
bility and restore it to the people.
Jackson came when the money power
first asserted itself in the control of
the American government. Lincoln
came when the union was about to
break upon the rocks of domestic
strife.
The Man for the Occasion.
And now, when greater problems
than those which confronted Wash
ington and Jefferson and Jackson and
Lincoln demand courage and ability
of almost superhuman character;
when from the length and breadth of
the land there goes up, as in I860, the
prayer, "God give us a man,” when
plutocracy is enthroned in high places
and when the life blood of the coun
try Is being sucked by the vampire of
| big business; when greed and avarice
i have been substituted for patriotism
and justice; when sporadic and half- !
hearted attempts to right existing !
wrongs only aggravate them: when j
the nation demands acain the genius
of a Washington, the faith in the peo
ple of a Jefferson, the courage of a
Jackson and the sublime patriotism of
a Lincoln—at such a time as this it is
j like watching the hand of a benefi
■ cent destiny to see Woodrow Wilson
loom large on the scene of national
politics.
Not only the Democratic party, but
the nation, too, is blessed that such a
man is available for the presidency.
Let George Do It.
Governor Woodrow Wilson of New
1 Jersey, while campaigning strenuous
ly in the interests of the Democratic, j
candidates, came to a small hostelry
in Susex County, in the northern sec
tion of the State.
The waiter handed the presidential
possibility the menu card, but the
Governor, tired from the day’s cam
paigning, pushed it away and said:
‘‘Now George, I don't want to both
er with that. Take it away and go
out and get me a good dinner. Get
the best you have. That's all.”
The waiter brought in the dinner
which the Governor ate. As he was
leaving the dining room the waiter
said: “Mistah Wilson, if any o’ you'
friends from down at Princeton what
can't read neither comes up this way
you jest send ’em to George an’ i'JJ
| take care o' ’em all right.”

MAKING AN
IMPRESSION
Young Barnard had opened the back
door of his home and turned King II..
his bulldog, out for a run in the big
yard, himself following to smoke a
cigar and incidentally gambol a bit
with King, his most valued posses
sion.
King II. is so bow-legged, so promi
nent of tooth and so splotched and
generally so terrifyingly ugly that the
mere sight of him is enough to drive
a nervous person into hysterics or
into the nearest tree. This, of course,
enhances his value in the eyes of the
owner.
King saw the cat first. It was not
the sort of cat one would expect to
find wandering in back yards, being
white and silky and languid in its
movements. Perhaps the fact that the
cat moved haughtily, like one accus
tomed to reign over its surroundings,
was what irritated King. At any rate
he showed his resentment in the
usual way.
“(lood-boy!" chortled young Bar
nard. “Good work!"
It was not that he wished to see the
cat hurt, but King certainly needed
exercise and there was not much dan
ger of his catching the quarry. Around
the yard the two flew like two con
tinuous streaks, the cat disdaining to
climb the fence and escape. It kept
exactly two yards ahead of the dis
gusted bulldog. Barnard stood on the
steps grinning and encouraging King,
whose tongue had begun to hang out
from exhaustion.
Suddenly there was a rush from the
other side of the high fence bordering
the next yard. A mass of brown hair,
two indignant brown eyes and two
widely waving hands burst upon the
vision of young Barnard.
“Trixie! Trixie!” shrieked the girl
“tie’ll be killed! He will! Why don't
you call off that horrible dog? Trixie,
come here!”
Young Barnard glared back. “Is
that your cat?" he asked. "Why don't
you keep it at home?”
The cat had leaped agilely to the
fence and into the arms of its res
cuer. Then it turned and sneered at
the frantic bulldog that was dashing
itself against the fence. Young Bar
nard naturally went to the comtort of
his dog, thereby approaching the fu
rious young person across the fence.
“A cat,” she said, hotly, “has a per
fect right to climb a fence if it wants
to and I'd have you know that Trixie
had taken three blue ribbons and,
anyhow, I don't see how a human be
ing can have such a dreadful looking
creature around as that dog pf yours 1
Why, he'd have killed Trixie in two
bites!”
"King is as gentle as a child!”
young Barnard retorted. “He was
just playing with your foolish cat.”
The young person across the fence
elevated her eyebrows disbelievingly
and sniffed pointedly. “Anyhow," she
insisted, “he’s probably scared Trixie
into heart disease!” There were tears
in her eyes as she stroked her pet.
Young Barnard, his wrath cooiing,
took time to observe that her skirts
were to her shoetops and she was
small and slight. He felt a little
ashamed of himself for quarreling
with a child, being 25 himself. More
over, she was very pretty.
"See here, little girl," he began mol
lifyingly, "you mustn’t feel angry.
Your cat really isn't hurt and —”
Her eyes flashed furiously. "You’re
ruder than your ugly dog!" she de
clared. "I know where the dog got
its bad manners!”
Young Barnard found himself alone,
gazing at the door through which a
tempest of brown hair, flashing eyes,
short skirts and white cat had just !
disappeared.
Now what the dickens is the mat
ter with that kid?" he muttered be
wildered.
"1 didn't know you'd met the West’s
niece,” said his sister when he en
tered the house.
"Neither did I," said young Barnard,
shortly.
“Well, you were having a chatty lit
tle time with her just now!” persisted
his sister. "Ever since I heard she
was coining I’ve wanted you to make !
a good impression on her. She’s ter
ribly fashionable and awfully popular
and has been abroad six times. Did
you ever see such exaggerated styles
as she wears? Her skirts are two
inches shorter than any other giri’s
and she looks about 1(1, instead of 22,
but she's a dear!"
"Great guns!” groaned young Bar
nard, suddenly grasping the situation.
“And I called her Little girl!’ No
wonder she exploded: Oh, I made a
fine impression, all right!”
“Now, Billy Barnard!" said his sis
ter, “begin at the beginning and tell
me all about it!”
Stern Advice.
William Dean Howells, at one of the
“In: mortals’ ” recent receptions in
New York, told a good story about a
critic.
"To this critic," he said, “a popular
novelist brought his first novel in
manuscript—a manuscript of about
140,000 words. The critic duly read
it, then he gave the author this ad
vice:
" ’Cut out half.’
"The young man accepted the ad
vice. He cut out nil the weak and
dull portions, and it seemed to him
hat the story was improved wonder
fully thereby. He sent it in its m. vv
form to the critic, v.ho th n gave him
this second piece of advice:
“ ’Cut out the other hall’.’ ”
