Bad Company.
How do men feel whose whole lives
<and many men's lives are) are lies,
schemes, and subterfuges? What sort
of company do they keep when they
are alone? Daily in life 1 watch men
whose every smile is an artifice and
every wink an hypocrisy. Doth such
a fellow wear a mask in his own pri
vacy, and to his own conscience? —
Thackeray.
Chinese Superstition.
What is commonly called a "cash
sword" is supposed to be efficacious in
keeping away evil spirits. It is often
hung on the front and outside of the
bridal curtain in a position parallel
to the horizon. It is said that it is a
formidable weapon, of which the ma
liciously disposed spirits are exceed
ingly afraid.
Only One.
Jack's mother showed him a
letter from a "new aunt," who had at

ing Jack's favorite uncle. "Mamma,"
paid Jack innocently, as he laborious

Paine," "does aunty pronounce her
front name in two syllables?"—Lip
pincott's.
For Perfect Health.
In order to support life and growth
and to maintain the strength and effi
ciency of the human body, some things
are absolutely necessary. Among
these, named perhaps in order of im
portance, are: Pure air, wholesome
nutritious food, unbroken sleep and
some form of muscular exercise.
The Celestial Empire.
Celestial empire is derived from
'lien Cliau, that is the heavenly
dynasty, meaning the kingdom which
the dynasty appointed by heaven
rules over. The inhabitants are called
celestials because they are subjects
of that empire.
Refreshing Streams.
How often a man has cause to re
turn thanks for enthusiasms of his
lriends! They are the little foun
tains that run down from the hills to
refresh the mental desert of the de
spondent.—Henry Van Dyke.

SURE TO BE WRONG
REPRESENTATIVE ADAMSON A
TRUE DEMOCRAT.
His Position in Opposition to Pending
Legislation an Excsllent Ex
ample of the Methods of
His Party.
Verily it is a hard task to fathom
the processes of the Democratic mind.
The only safe theory seems to be that
If there is a wrong way of going about
anything, that is the way the Demo
crat is going to adopt.
Witness the performances of Rep
resentative Adamson of Georgia. Mr.
Adamson, an earnest Democrat, is a
member of the house committee on in
terstate commerce, and in such capac
ity he is opposing the president's com
merce bill.
As near as can be discovered, Mr.
Adarason's objections are based chief
ly on the ground that the bill is an ex
ecution of certain Democratic prin
ciples and policies.
"The provision as to initiating an in
quiry into the rates and practises the
president borrowed from the Demo
cratic leaders," asserts Mr. Adamson.
He also says,"the president has bor
rowed from the Democratic platform
the suggestion that the commission
may arrest a rate before It goes into
efTect."
Naturally the average citizen, un
versed in Democratic ratiocination
will inquire why these facts should em
bitter a Democrat against the bill. It
would seem, rather, that they should
inspire him to advocate it and to lend
his influence to its early adoption.
For, surely, measures urged by the
revered Democratic platform and ad
vocated by the estimable Mr. Hryan
must be good for the country, even
though an unkind fate has decreed
that they should be advanced by a
Republican president.
There is a pretty vigorous demand
on the part of the people, regardless
of party, for the passage of the legis
lation mapped out by President Taft.
If he has borrowed some of his ideas
from the Democratic party, so much
the better for the party. It will give
Its orators something tangible to talk
about on the hustings next fall. Put
opposition to the measures, predicted
on such astonishing grounds as those
of Mr. Adamson will make no friends
for him or his party.
Champ Clark's Tariff Views.
Sir—After reading Representative
Champ Clark's spech in denunciation
of the Payne tariff, I feel like doing a
little "spluttering" myself, so here
goes:
It seems to mo the reasoning voter
must come to the conclusion that
Clark might well express the oft
quoted phrase attributed to one of
our great departed, viz., "The tariff?
I don't know a d n thing about It."
Clark Is a politician pure and simple.
A shrewd one, too, but his kind seldom
fool the people more than once in a
generation. All the voter needs Is ex
perience and a little time to collect
his thoughts, and the Clarks are ex
ploded.
Always destructive, never construct
ive, they are like a defective boiler,
thty "bust" when overloaded with
steam and the safety valve fails to
work.
Kong live the Clarks (they are en
t< rtainlng jokers), but soon may they
"bust." INSI'ROENT DEMOCRAT.

Taft's, Tribute to Knox.
The president at Pittsburg showed
his usual sense of fitness when, In the

THEORY OPPOSED TO FACTS
Wail of Representative Foss Should
Have Little Effect on the
Country.
Said Mr. Foss:
"Today millions of our people are
deprived of comfort and health, and
even of life, by the so-called protect
ive tariff on wool and woolens for the
benefit of the sheep ranches and wool
en trusts."
Certainly we have heard pretty
much the same cry before. Wasn't It
issuing with strong lungs from Massa
chusetts? Yes, yes, to be sure. "Give
us free hides and cheap shoes." That
was the way the "battle cry" ran.
"Give us free hides and cheap shoes."
Today millions are deprived of com
fort and health by the protective tar
iff on hides, and so on.
Well, what happened? The very
tariff bill which Mr. Foss now assails
placed hides on the free list. Surely
the "cheap shoes" followed? Not a
bit of it. Hides, leather and —shoes
are higher than ever.
Something seems to be askew with
the theory of Mr. Foss. Hut that is
not singular. Theory frequently goes
to pieces when it runs up against plain
facts. —Philadelphia Inquirer.
Sherman Praises Taft.
Vice-President Sherman, in eulogi
zing the president the other day,
touched significantly on a legitimate
phase of executive "doing things,"
saying:
"He is bringing about in a quiet
way, without great friction, many re
forms in the government service that
are not given to the public in a spec
tacular manner, but which will be
hown in the annual reports made up
at the end of the fiscal year. It will
be well then for those critics who
have seen fit to find fault with their
presidents, to look into these returns
and see to what extent the govern
ment and the people themselves have
been benefited by wise administra
tion."
Light in Massachusetts.
The commission appointed by the
Massachusetts legislature to investi
gate the cost of living, reports that
the tariff has nothing to do with the
increase of prices, incidentally the
report adds that the extension of
Canadian reciprocity in the matter of
manufactures is Inexpedient at the
present time. Really! This might be
called news "delayed in transmission."
For at least ten years It has been en
tirely obvious to ordinary intelligences
that under no circumstances could
Canada IJ<_ induced to accept reciproc
ity in manufactured products. Massa
chusetts lias finally found this out,
The world moves slowly, in some
places.
Sees Roosevelt's Position Plain.
Mr. Roosevelt is bound by force of
circumstances as well as by the logic
of th< situation not only to decline ab
solutely any efforts that may be made
in his own behalf, but to give his ac
tive hearty support to President Taft
and to stand by him to the end. No
body can justly accuse President Taft
of not making an honest, sincere ef
fort to carry out the spirit of the
Roosevelt policies, and under all tho
accepted rules and customs of politics
this entitles him to the support of the
Rooaevelt followers in obtaining a re
nomination.—Kansas City Journal.
Worthy of High Position.
History will have a fine place in Its
records for Secretary Knox, who is
continuing that brilliantly useful rec
ord made by him as attorney general
of the I'nlted States and as a member
of the s»-nate. President Toft Is quick j
to recognize this fact, and the Amer
ican people with their usual justice |
will brush away th«- clouds of petty
detraction which are prompted either
by self-interest or by sensationalism,
an<l will recognize in Mr. Knox a
worthy successor of a distinguished I
lln<' of masters of diplomacy.

LAND IN CANADA
AN INVESTMENI
WORK IT, AND SECURE 20 PEH
CENT. ON THE EXPENDITURE.
Farm lands In Canada increased ii
value this Spring from fifteen to twen»
ty per cent, and as a result of this
Increase thousands of those who hava
gone there within the past few years
have had that much more value added
to their holdings. There is proof here
that as a field for Investment there
Is nowhere to be found a more profits
able one than in purchasing farm
lands in Canada. And, as a field for
occupation and working the farms
there Is nowhere on the continent
where more satisfactory return is
given. The crops-are always sure and
the prices are alwayß good. With
railroads entering and traversing all
the settled parts, there are very few
districts in which the farmer will be
more than from ten to twelve miles
from a railway station. Roads are
good, and big loads are easily handled.
The price of getting grain to the pri
mary market is low on this account,
and then in reaching the world's mar
kets the railways have their rates con
trolled by the Government, and what
may be considered a fair deal i 3 cer
tain. Good prices for all kinds of
grain Is the rule, and if the investor
has made good money by the increased
value given to his unworked land, it
is not difficult to understand that the
profit to tho man who works his land
is Just that much more, and there
will be no depreciation. The man
who holds a free homestead of one
hundred and sixty acres of land,
which he got for $lO as an entry fee,
has land which at its lowest estimate
is worth ?10 an acre—yes, sls an acre
—the moment he has completed hla
three years' residence duties. It will
continuo to increase in value until its
earning power gives a reasonable in
terest on a certain sum. That is, if
he takes off the land fifteen to twenty
dollars per acre clear profit each year,
his land is worth to him, at a fair rate
of interest, S2OO an acre. If he only
realizes $lO an acre clear profit, it Is
worth SIOO per acre. Now, thou
sands of farmers are duplitating these
figures. The price of land in Canada
to-day Is much less than Its realizing
value. The fact that tho fifty thou
sand Americans who went to Canada
year before last were followed by one
hundred thousand last year offers
some evidence, and good evidence, too,
that there is getting to be a pretty fair
knowledge that money is to be made in
Canada lands. As an investment money
is to be made, but more by living
upon the land, secured either by home
stead or purchase. The one hundred
thousand of last year will be one hun
dred and fifty thousand this year.
These comprise people from every
state in tho Union, and it is Just being
realized tho asset that awaits the
homeseeker in Canada. The large
numbers that have gone, though,
makes no appreciable difference in
tho supply of land. There is still left
vast quantities of the best of it. But
the longer a delay is made in arriving
at a decision, the price will advance
proportionately, and the more de
sirable homesteads near the railway
lines become rnorfe difficult to secure.
Tho Government publishes interesting
literature, which may bo had on ap
plication to any of tho agents whose
offices are located at different points
through the States, and they (the
agents) will bo pleased to assist in
any way possible in the choice of lo
cation.
Children.
Listen to this opinion from David
Starr Jordan:
"There Is nothing in all the world
so Important as children, nothing so
Interesting. If you ever wish togo In
for some philanthropy. If you ever
wish to be of any real use In the
world, do something for children. If
you ever yearn to be truly wise, Htudy
children. We can dress the sore,
bandage the wounded, imprison tho
criminal, heal the sick and bury the
dead, but there Is always a chance
that we can save a child. If the great
army of philanthropists ever exter
minate sin aud pestilence, ever work
out our race's salvation, It will be be
cause a little child has fed them."—

For Proper Care of Tuberculosis.
According to tho National Associa
tion for the Study and Prevention of
Tuberculosis, New York state leads
in the number of beds for consump
tives provided up to May 1, with 6,476
beds; Massachusetts Is second with
2,403 beds; Pennsylvania, third, with
2,:i4" beds; Colorado, fourth, with 1,489
beds; and New Mexico lifth, with
1,104 beds. As yet, not one state in
the country has made adequate pro
vision for Its consumptives. New
York lias set Itself the task of having
"No uncared-for tuberculosis in 1915."
and several cities in other parts of
the country havu adopted similar pro
grams. The national association
»a> s that tuberculosis will not be
stamped out until all cases of this
disease ore cared for either in their
homes or lu institutions. With this
eud In view, efforts wilt be made to
Increase the number of hospital beds
in this country to at U ast 35,0ti0 by
May 1. 1911.
