PROVISO THE FAITH
THAT IS IS HI,M
President Wilson has boldly de
clared that he would oppose any
man for important official stations
in New Jersey who was support
ed by certain individuals and in
terests in that state. He has not
hesitated to take a stand against
the bosses in his home state, and
it is beleived he will be as decided
in his opposition to the bosses in
other states, for not only New
Jersery but all the states, need
his aid in driving out bossism.
Those Democrats in New York
who are in conflict with Boss
Murphy have been looking to
President Wilson for aid in repud
iating and discrediting a man who
has assumed to dictate legislation
in that state and hand out public j
patronage as if it were his to
give or withhold as he might
elect. The first staggering and
all but fatal blow Murphy ever
received was at Baltimore, when
Bryan defied him and his power
and triumphed over him; when
the Bryan-Wilson democrats ser
ved notice on the bosses like
Murphy that they would no long
er be permitted to write party
platforms or to name party nom-j
inees, and now President Wilson
has followed up that sound policy
by denying Murphy the right to
name the collector of the port of
New York.
The powerful Tammany boss
was backing his choice Mr. Polk
— for the important station —in
fact, the most important federal
position in the state—but the
President didn’t look kindly on
the backing. He evidently con
cluded, as he did in the New
Jersey matters, to oppose any
man backed by certain individuals
for lie turned Mr. Polk down and
appointed John Mitchell.
This appointment is an official
repudation of Murphy by the
national administration. It is an
official notification that the Presi
dent will not recognize a political
organization as democratic which
acknowledges Murphy as its boss.
It is a formal announcement, in
effect, that the President of the
United States has enlisted in the
cause of good government in New
York, that the sympathies of his
administration are with the peo
ple who are battling against cor
rupt boss rule and corrupt ma
chine government.
It is gratifying, further, to
know that President Wilson’s at
titude toward boss government
in the rest of the states will be
the same as he has demonstrated
it to be toward boss government
in New Jersey and New York.
He will not be against the bosses
in one or two sections of the
country and be for them in other
sections, but he will turn down
the ringsters just as he has been
turning down the ringsters in
New Jersey and New York.
There are Murphys, Jim Smiths
Nugents, and such ringsters in
all the states. They have a con
tempt for such men as President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan, but
that thrift may follow fawning
they now pretend to honor and
respect such men. They are em
ploying the cloak of democracy
to win the confidence of the
President, but there is scant hope
for the bosses when the issue is
fairly made.
Elbert Hubbard, the noted writ
er and lecturer, gives Arkansas
quite a boost in a recent article de
scribing a visit to Hot Springs.
Among other things he says: “I’m
not sure about what the exact
charm of Hot Springs is, whether
it is the baths or the sunshine or
the glorious mountain-trails. Pos
sibly it is all three. Anyway, it is a
place to play and a place to laugh,,
and with it you forget your grouch
and the old world looms large and
lovely, and you go back to your
work feeling able to eat it alive.”
The Iron Mountain road has had
the article printed in book form
and is giving them free distribu
tion throughout the country.
To each of us is entrusted the !
i
building up of our own character, j
To fullfill that duty we must not
only guard against moral faults,
we must improve every talent we
possess, we must widen our in
terests, we must sharpen our
faculties by careful effort.
For the sake of embarrassing
the Wilson administration and
with a view to bringing cenures
upon the Democratic majority of
the present session of Congress,
the Republican stand-patters un
der the leadership of Senator
Penrose, of Pennsylvania, are
striving to prolong the session for
the attendant suspense certain
to be experienced by business
generally. Seeing that there
isn’t a chance to change
the tariff bill or in any way al
ter the general principle upon
which it is constructed they ex
pect to concentrate their ener
gies upon a policy of delay and
embarrassment. These old stand
pat Republicans would rather see
the county go to the devil than
to see the Democratic party carry
out its pledges to give the people
relief from the oppressive trust
rule that has dominated the
country so long under Republican
mis-rule.
Let us not waste our time look
ing for great work, but cheerfully
do the duties nearest to us, for
God never designed that many of
us should do great deeds. It is the
little things that make up life.
What the world wants daily is lit
tle, kindly deeds. Many of us hesi
tate because we cannot do lofty
work. This should not be so, and
we should improve the opportu
nities as they come; then when the
opportunity for doing great work
presents itself we shall be prepar
ed to meet it.
Consolidated rural schools are
needed in many sections of the
Southwest where there are now
inadequate buildings and short
terms. By consolidating two or
three small districts a good rural
high school may be had.—Farm

heart power into it. No life has

As the breath of the dew on
the tender plant, they gently
fall upon the drooping heart, re
freshing its withered tendrils and
soothing its burning woes. Bright
oases they are in life’s great des
ert. Who can estimate the pangs
they have alleviated, or the good
works they have accomplished!
Long after they are uttered do
they reverberate in the souls in
ner chambers, and quell all the
raging storms that may have be
fore existed. And, 0, when the
heart is sad, and like a broken
harp the sweetest chords of
pleasure cease to vibrate, who
can tfell the power of one kind
\vord? One little word of tender
ness gushing in upon the soul
will sweep the long neglected
chords, and awken the most
pleasant strains. Kind words
are like jewels in the heart, nev
er to be forgotten, but perhaps
to cheer their memory along, sad
life. While words of cruelty are
like darts in the bosom, wound
ing and leaving scars that will be
borne to the grave by the victims.
—Exchange.
All over the country a crusade
against the house fly is being
waged, but in a different man
ner than has heretofore been the
plan. Formerly it was “swat
the fly, ” but now it is starve him
to death by removing his feeding
place, such as garbage cans, out
buildings, etc., and removing his
breeding places. Experience has
taught modern civilizaton that
swatting the fly is a very crude
way of getting rid of the pest,
the most effective way being to
screen against him and destroy
his feeding place. It is truly a
great campaign and one every
person should engage in. Swat
the fly if you wrant to, but see
that your premises are thorough
ly sanitary and you will be help
ing the cause along much more.
Steps are being taken to unite
the two wings of the republican
party. The progressives are to
be invited to return to the fold.
If they consent it will be a case
of the tail wagging the dog, as
the republican party was about
wiped of the map( in the last
election. If this deal is consum
mated we predict that Roosevelt
will be the next nominee of the
party for president.
More pigs, calves, colts and
lambs should be seen on our farms.
We will never reap the rewards
of intensive farming until we
raise more livestock to consume
the crops.—Farm and Ranch.
An exchange thinks it a pity
there is no law against killing
time. If they were, the courts
would have to stay in session day
and night the year round.
