The old school bell again chimesout “come!” and as we look forth and see the groups of boys and girls on their way to school. we note some whose elastic step and cheerful faces are highly indicative of the soul and mind, and all such wiil prove a blessing to themselves, their teachers and their school. Their actions show their anx- jety for work; their lessons will be perfectly prepared; their recitations well given, and they will attain to that round on the lader of fame and learn- ing called success. They will master all knotty problems, not only in school | but ir life. They will not require pun- ishing in order to teach them the necessity of getting their lessons. They study because they love to; are industrious and energetic from prin- ciple ; their life will be a success. Following comes another group of boys whose lagging steps and sullen faces show that the sound of the bell grated harshly upon their ears. These boys will prove unruly, unkind, and, unlike the other class named, will take but little interest in their work, and at the end of the year, in spite of a teacher's earnest efforts in their be- half, will be but little farther advanced than in the beginning. We need not say what the result will be in the latter case, but to these boys’ parents we wish to say, try to cultivate in their minds a love for the school and school work. See to it that they are in school every day; that their report cards show a good grade, or know why such is not the case. In other words, see if you can’t control your boys, and not depend upon the teacher to do it. A PAYING INVESTMENT. Mr. John White, of 38 Highland Ave. Houlton, Maine, says: “Have been troubled with a cough every winter and spring. Last winter I tried many ad- vertised remedies, but the cough con- tinued until I bought a 50c. bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery ; before that was half gone, the cough was all gone. This winter the same happy result has followed ; a few doses once more ban- ished the annual cough. I am now convinced that Dr. King’s New Dis- cevery is the best of all cough and lung remedies.” Sold under guarantee at E. H. Miller's drug store. 50c. and $1.00.

The nature lover's creed, written by Mary Gage Peterson, chairman of the forestry department of the General Federation of Women’s clubs, is as fol- lows: I believe in nature and in God's out o’-doors. 1 believe in pure air, fresh water, and abundant sunlight. I believe in the mountains; and as] lift up mine eyes to behold them, I re- ceive help and strength. I believe that below their snowy crowns their mantles should be ever green. I believe in the forests where the sick may be healed and the weary strengthened : where the aged may re- new their youth, and the young gather stores of wisdom which shall abide with them always. I believe that the groves were God’ first. temples, and that, here al! hearts should be glad and no evil thought come to mar the peace; I believe that all who seek shelter within these aisles should guard the noble heritage from harm. and the fire fiend never be :l- lowed to roam unwatched I believe in the highland spring: n Inkes. and would have noble trees stand guard around them; upon the mountain sides 1 would spread a thei carpet of leaves and moss throne: which the water might find its wa into the valleys and onward to th ocean, 1 believe in the giant trees which have stood for thousands of years. and shall come nigh them. I believe in the ax of the trained woodsman, and would have <t hew down the mature trees of today. that we may secure lumber for our needs, and the trees of smaller growth have more light and air and space. I believe in the seeds of the trees. and would gather and plant them, and I would care for the seedlings until they are ready to stand with their brothers in the forest and plains, then the wilderness and the dry land shall be glad and the desert shall rejoice. 1 believe in protecting the birds and the animals that live amid the trees, and the ferns and mosses and blossom- ing plants. 1 believe in all the beautiful things of nature, and would preserve, protect. and cherish them. “Come, let’s to the fields. the meads, and the mountains, The forests invite us, the streams and the fountains.” WANTED, MEN AND WOMEN TO SWEAR and affirm before the under- signed, when they have documents to which lawful affidavits are required.

Overrules Washington Menument Reg- ulation For Benefit of the Sightless. The kind heartedness of Mr. Taft and his sincere, common sense Sym- pathy with the unfortunates in this world has just been brought to the at- tention of the blind in a peculiar way. Away up in the top of the Washing- ton monument, where thousands go to behold the beauties of the nation’s capital, the Columbia Polytechnic in- stitute, which seeks to make it possi- ble for the adult blind of the United States to rise above conditions of de- pendence by becoming self sustaining. placed on sale souvenir post cards manufactured by its blind. Some sen- timental persons took the view that this was undignified and succeeded in having the superintendent of. public buildings and grounds order the cards removed. F. E. Cleaveland, principal of the institute, appealed to Mr. Taft, then secretary of war and within whose jurisdiction came the office of public buildings and grounds. It took only a few words to convince the sec- retary that the blind should have the benefit of this privilege, and the cards were again placed on sale in the mon- ument. “For this action,” said Principal Cleaveland in discussing the incident, “Mr. Taft deserves the gratitude of every blind person, particularly the progressive blind. who are striving to help their less fortunate fellows.” ANTI-NEGRO PLANKS IN WEST VIRGINIA DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. Jim Crow Plank. We favor the enactment of a law re- quiring common carriers engaged in passenger traffic to furnish separate coaches or compartments for white and colored passengers. Elective Franchise Plank. ; Believing that the extension of the elective franchise to a race inferior in intelligence and without preparation for the wise and prudent exercise of a privilege so vital to the maintenance of good government was a mistake if not a crime committed by the Repub- lican party during the reign of passion and prejudice following the civil war for political ends and purposes, we de- clare that the Democratic party is in favor of so amending the constitution as to preserve the purity of the ballot and the electorate of the state from the evil results from conferring such pow- er and privilege upon those who are unfitted to appreciate its Importance, as it affects the stability and preserva- tion of good government. Taft's Religion. To dispose of questions which should not be asked as speedily as possible let us say that Mr. Taft is not a= Roman Catholic. He is a member of the Uni- tarian church. That was the church of his parents, and he has never separat- ed himself from it. His wife, however, Is an Episcopalian, and he worships more often beside her in her church These are the facts, which are utter- ly and absolutely unimportant. The matter of a man's religion has no right ful place in consideration of his fitness for the presidency. The constitution of the nation, ordained and established “to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity,” expressly places the very suggestion of such thought outside the pale of patriotism. No words can be clearer than these from our country’s fundamental lawy “No religious test ever shall be re- quired as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.” The numerous queries about Mr. Taft's religious belief show simply the extent to which his enemies have goue to rouse some prejudice against him Since there was no spot upon his whole elean record of private conduct and public service to which they could point to Taft's detriment they display- ed their willingness to descend to any depth of petty. cowardly, contemptible attack that might do him barm.—Phila- delphia North American. Same Old Story. Taft talked “straight talk” to his countrymen about every issue that en- grosses the thoughts of Americans to- day. Bryan promises a series of post- scripts to dispose of tariff, railroads. ‘eurrency, trusts and everything else of real importance. And then he engages in one of his melancholy searches after a “paramount issue” and finds it in the rhetoricgl, fustian and: tinsel .plati- tude, “Shall the people rule?” 1t is the old, old story. The garb of the conservative does not sit well upon the born Crusader. Mr. Bryan has put forth a tactful, smoothly phrased bub- dle of generalities, and he has done so at the very moment when the mental appetite of the whole people is sharp- ened for strong meat and not wind pudding. With a score of honestly disputed and important questions open, he chooses deliberately to select as the chief Issue of the campaign a query to which there is absolutely no negative response—‘‘Shall the people rule?” The people always have ruled and always will rule.—Philadelphia North Ameri- can, Aug. 15, 1908. Reciprocal Boosting. Judge Parker is laboring for the Bryan cause in California, which re- cals the fact that Bryan’s campaign in Nebraska for Parker kept the Repub- lican - majority in the state down to 86,000.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Mr. Bryan criticises Mr. Taft for adding to the Republican platform. In the meantime the number of ‘“para- mount issues” which Mr. Bryan sub- : Omaha Bee. | tracted from the Democratic platform | would fill several large volumes.— TRYING TO HOODWINK NEGROES Democrats Pursuing Their Usual Double Faced Policy. Upholding Disfranchisement In the South While Forming Colored Bryan Clubs In West. [From the Baltimore Sun, Dem.] General Winfield S. Hancock, who was the Democratic nominee for pres- ident in 1880, declared the tariff was principally a “local question”—that is to say, a Pennsylvania Democrat might be a protectionist for protec- tion’s sake, while a Democrat in Geor- gia or in Iowa might hold fast to the doctrine of a tariff for revenue only. | The Massachusetts Democrat might be a free trader without reservation of any kind, while the West Virginia Democrat might be a free trader only with respect to commodities which were not produced by his own state.” General Hancock's pronouncement was considered an ingenious evasion of- the tariff issue, but it did not pro: duce harmony in the Democratic par ty, and the general was defeated. Twenty-eight years have passed since General Hancock defined the tariff as a local question upon which the Democrats of each state were free to act with regard chiefly to local in- terests. The principle which he then formulated seems to have been adopt- ed by Democrats in the west in re spect to the relation of the Democrat- fc party to the negro. Last week the West Virginia Democratic convention embodied in its platform planks de- manding certain qualifications for voters, designed to disfranchise many negroes. Their platform also contains a declaration in favor of separate coaches for white and negro passen- gers on railroads. The West Virginia Democrats not only refuse to hold out the olive branch to the negro and in- vite him Into their fold, but they are determined to limit his political activi- ty by a disfranchising law and to bring him under the operation of a “Jim Crow” law when he travels on the railroads of that state. What Are the Promises? Out in Nebraska and in Kansas the Democratic campaign managers are organizing negro voters into Bryan clubs. In Ohio no effort will be spared to secure the support of the negro voters for the Democratic national ticket. What pledges have been given and what inducements have been of- fered does not appear. But it is a fair Inference that the managers have promised to do “something for the ne- gro,” perhaps to recognize him in the distribution of offices, if Mr. Bryan should be elected, and also to take such action as the negroes may de- mand in respect to the reinstatement of the negro battalion dismissed from the army by President Roosevelt for the attack on Brownsville. Last week when the West Virginia Democrats were declaring for a disfranchisement law and for a “Jim Crow” law the Democratic convention in the Twelfth congressional district of Ohio adopted a platform favoring ‘the enactment of laws which shall accord to all men accused of wrongdoing, whether sol- diers or civillans, a fair and impartial trial and an oppertunity to be heard before conviction or punishment.” This apparently refers to the Browns- ville incident. It may also have a broader meaning and a more extended application and may be susceptible of an interpretation which will make southern Democrats open their eyes with amazement and possibly with ap- prehension Race Question “Local Issue?” There seems to be no ground for rea- sonable doubt that the Democratic campaign managers in the west, in the effort to secure negro support for their national ticket, are acting upon the principle that the race question is only a “local Issue.” It is evident that the south does not approve this plan of campaign. but is powerless to check it The Democracy of the south is in full accord with the position taken by the West Virginia Democrats last week. And yet If Is assumed by those who are trying to get negroes to support Mr. Bryan that the south will act In hearty co-operation with the Ohio, Ne- braska, Kansas and Illinois Democrats who are welcoming the negro into free fellowship In the Democratic party and probably promising to annu! the decision of President Roosevelt in the Brownsville matter. The theory of western Democrats that the race prob- lem is merely a local issue Is calcu- lated to give the south much concern. Many Democrats in that section may question whether it is worth while to elect a Democratic president who may open wide the door of political oppor- tunity to the negro.
