Turkrt anks the power fir explana
tion. The point is tbi: It is belter,
when helpless, to walk out voluntarily
than to bump the hump.
Throvohoit the country the parrel
post ia adding $1,000,000 a day to the
postal revenue. The new facilities will
not lark cash to keep them in lively mo
tion. A YKAR ao there waa deScIt of
f25.0O0.OO0 in the national treasury. Now
there Ik a surplus. Last year ended with
aurplusand the Republican record ia
still in the aacenriinit scale.
Amkn'pino the constitution of the
United Hlates ia nt aa difficult aa baa
been supposed. When the people made
up their mind Ibnrouuhly the methods
now prescribed worked well.
Compulsory voting Is one of the pop
ular subjects of legislation this year, A
song bird Hint refuses to sing csn be
made to sing, snd on the same theory it
is possible that a legal voter who refuses
to vote can be made to come across with
bia ballot.
Articlk XVI , just added to the con
stitution, reads: "The Congress shall
have power to lay and collect taxes en
incomes, from whatever source derived,
without appointment among the several
states, and without regard to any census
or enumeration." The constitution con
tinues to be one of Ibe best examples of
condensed language.
A rath kr incongruous provision in
the parcel post law ia apparent in Ibe ex
clusion of books from the benefit of the
cheap rs'ns. It has been po nted out that
deck of cards may be mailed by parcel
post, while the bible ia excluded from its
benefits. Just bow this discrimination
crept Into the law no one Is able to figure
out but that it makes the popular statute
appear quite like a "partial" poat is the
general opinion. This defect should be
hastily remedied.
Writing from the National Capital to
his borne paper the Brookville Republi
can, of wbicb be was for many years the
able editor, aud wbicb paper supported
the candidacy of Col. Roosevelt, F, A.
Weaver gives Ibis fair and truthful esti
mate of one of America's greatest Presi
dents: "The deportment f President
Taft, since the election of his successor,
has been such as to win Ibe admiration of
the thinking people of the nation. He
accepts tbe situation with bis accustomed
amlle, aod proceeds in tbe performance of
bis varied official duties in such a manly
fashion as to disconcert aod silence bis
maliguera. If possible he has shown in
creasing courage Id bis own convictions,
and tbo ability to defend wbat bo believes
to be right. He has, at ail times, recog
nized that be is the presideut of the whole
uuion of states, that no section or class
has a auperior claim upon biin for con
sideration. At a recent meeting of an
Important national organisation, com
posed of ladies from the South, resolu
tions were passed reciting tbe many acts
ol the President demonstrating bis con
sideration for tbe people of tbe South,
aud thanking hi in for putilio expressions
of sympathy aud best wishea. Tbe ad
verse verdict at the polls is not accepted
by him as in the least condemnatory of
tbe principles of the party be has had Ibe
honor to represent, but simply a back
ward movement of the pendulum of lime
reversion due to the discontent of the
people, who clamor loudest for change
while in tbe enjoyment of tbe greatest
measure of prosperity. Taft ia an opti
mist, has not lost taitb iu the people or
bis country, snd tberi is an abiding be
lief that many who voted for a change
last November will have cause to regret
bia absenre at the White House before tbe
coming four years have been numbered
with tbe past."
Spiking Their Guns.
Governor Tener's snswer to the resolu
tions which have been introduced In tbe
Legislature to start investigations is a
fitting one. He calls upon every em
ploye f his administration in be prepared
at tbe end of each day's work to give
complete report of tbe conduct of bis of
fice or depsrlmen'.. "We want every
thing to be done open and above board,"
saya the Governor, "aud there mils' be
nothing to bide from anybody." He also
adds that any member of tbe Legislature
desirinc inlormstion concerning any de
partment, who will iufonn the Governor
of bis wishes, will be given full oppor
tunity to obtain it directly from tbe head
of such department. This is a plain an
swer to tbe insinuations contained in tbe
resolutions and disarms those who
prompted them tor tbe purpose of dis
crediting tbe administration. Governor
Tener bas made bia administration a bus
iness one and today bas tbe confidence of
the people. Uiaopen proposition to give
everyone an opportunity to satisfy any
auspicion they may have regarding Ibe
conduct of tbe State's affairs it in keeping
wllii bis past record since taking tbe of-ne.-Oil
City Derrick.
The postolfice department is at work
on a plan lor tbe adoption of a uniform
mall box for tbe use of rural aud star
route pa runs, especial atteotiuu being
given t tbe needs of Ibe service in con
nection witb tbe development of the
parcel post. Rural mail boxes at present
are of many varieties, but few being
adapted to acoomujodate tbe larger sized
packages. The matter Is now in ibe
bands of a committee of postal olficers
which will recommend a new style of
Voi tbst will displace all boxes now lu

Old Age.
Old age as it comes in the orderly pro
cess of nature is a beautitu) and majestic
thing. It stands for experience, knowl
edge, wisdom, counsel. That is old age
as it should be, but old sge as it otteu is
mesne poor digestion, torpid bowels, s
sliHgisb liver and a general leeling of ill
health, despondency and misery. This
in almost every Instance Is wholly un
necessary. One of Chamberlain's Tablets
taken Immediatily after supper will im
prove tbe digestion, tone up Ibe liver and
regulate tbe bowels, That feeling of des
pondency will give way to one of hope
aod good rbeet. Sold by all dealersv-Ad.

Parents.
Young man, the most valuable asset that you can have
if you are thinking of getting married is a bank account. No
girl or no girl's parents want a poor man. Later on the poor
man won't want himself; because, being poor when he might
have been comfortable, is no fun. Start your love affair and
your business affairs with some money in the bank. It will
be your best friend. Ask any man who knows.
