Secretary of State Earle W.
Hodges has decide! to be a candi
date for reelection and knowing
him personally as the editor of this
paper does we cannot refrain from
endorsing his candidacy. He vas
made an efficient and painstaking
official during his 'erm in this im
portant office and when in doubt, as
to matters of weight has abided by
the decision of the attorney general
to the letter. He is a clean, ener
getic, and capable young man for
this position and has proved his
ability m the office he se ks to hold
another term. He has a large
number of friends throughout the
state and will no doubt be Select
ed by a handsome majority.
The boy who has the freedom of
the streets after nightfall, without
business or permission, is cultiva
ting a very dangerous habit. Any
place where a boy has no business
is a very dangerous place for him
whether it is on the the street, in
the store or elsewhere. A boy
that is alright likes his hom«
friends, books or newspapers in
preference to the class found on the
streets, without business. Busi
ness men of all kinds look upon the
boy loafer as a dead beat of the
future.
Summary of Tariff Bill in This Issue.
The new Underwood-Simmons
tariff bill, upon which Congress
has been working for the past nine
months, is now a law and its pro
visions have already been put into
operation.
How many people know what the
provisions of this measure are and
what effect they will have upon the
various commodities that they buy?
Probably not one in a thousand, and
the proportion may be less.
For the benefit of our readers, we
publish in this issue a complete
sumary of the new law, with an
analysis of its provisions. This is
the first summary of this nature
that has been published.
Read this articles on the new
law, which appears on another
page of this issue. We think you
will find it very interesting reading.

FELT HIS FAILING MEMORY
<een Sorrow That Clouded the Closing
Years of America's Great Poet,
Emerson.
I had as a fellow-guest a man who
nad long been intimate with Emer
son and whom the poet was very
?lad to see. Talking after tea in
he library, Emerson said :
“I want to tell you about a friend
in Germany, his name I cannot re
member,” and he moved to and fro
uneasily, in his effort to recall it.
‘This friend with whom we have
taken tea tonight, whose name also
t cannot remember,” here again
’ame a distressed look at the failure
if his faculty, “I cannot remember
bis name either, but he can tell you
if this German friend whose name
f have also forgotten.”
It was a sorrow to see the break
ing down of a great spirit and his
agitation as he was conscious of his
waning power. And yet. so far as
I could see. it was only the memory
that was going; the intellectual
strength was still apparent and the
amiability of his spirit was perhaps
even more manifest than in the years
when he was in the full possession
of himself.
This came out in little things; he
was overanxious at the table lest
the hospitality should come short,
troubled about the supplv of butter
and apple sauce, and^soon afier I
saw him on his knees on the hearth
taking care that the fire should catch
the wood to abate the evening cool
ness that was gathering in the ’mom.

FTosmer.
TAUGHT FLEDGLINGS TO SING
Methods of Mother Wren Were Thor
ough and Productive of Most Sat
isfactory Results.
THp real musicians arc the birds,
and it is interesting to know that the
young fledglings, in some cases at
least, have regular singing lessons
from the mother. A wren whose
nest was in a box near a country
house was watched by the family as
she patiently instructed her little
ones. Placing herself on one side
of the opening, and in front of her
pupils she first sang her entire song
very distinctly. One little flntterer
opened its mouth and tried to follow
her; hut after a few notes its voice
gave out and it lost the tune. Mam
ma Wren immediately took up the
melody at that point, and sang it
through as clearly as possible, when
the youngster tried it again and fin
ished triumphantly.
Then the mother sang again, and
another nestling followed her. break
ing down as the first had done, and
beginning afresh. Sometimes there
were three or four failures before the
tune was carried through; hut the
wren always began where the little
one broke down.and sang to the end.
These singing lessons lasted for some
time, and several of them were given
every' day.
ANOTHER MOUTH TO FEED.
Father—And did he give you any
encouragement, dear?
Daughter—Yes. father; he asked
me if you and mother were pleasant

DRAWING IT FINE.

tinction ?’ ”

We would not take from our ministers and
churches any of the glory and honor due them for
their good and beneflc/al work amoung our young
men. We want to divide the honor with them.
Do you know the bank and church should go hand
in hand in helping young men to lead good moral,
honest, honorable lives. The young men who dis
grace their families and the community never have
a bank book in their pocket. The young man who
weekly deposits a portion of his earnings, seldom,
if ever, sow many “wild oats." Parents can do r.o
better act than to assist their boys in starting a
bank account. It is a stepping stone to all that is
good.
