THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY.
It is not a world for men to take
their ease in; but a world for work.
It is not a world for the selfish greed
of gain; but a world of generous
self-abandonment.
If any of our trustful friends who
have been tempted to follow the Bull
Moose out of the Republican party
wish to know what kind of a deal
they and their cause may expect, let
them study the fate of tho men who
have supported the perpetual candi
date in the past and see if they can
find one who has not been squeezed
dry and tossed aside.
with which only the legislatures and
governors of tho States could deal,
and with which the 'President and
Congress could have nothing what
ever to do.
COUNTRY TOWN ADVERTISING.
An unusual feature of the meeting
of the Western Iowa Editorial Asso
ciation at Council Bluffs recently was
an address on tho subject of adver
tising from a view point of the re
tail merchant bv David Oransky, a
well-known merchant and advertiser
of Atlantic, la. Mr. Oransky spoke
on "Retail Advertising ifrom tho
Viewpoint of tho Merchant." And
he declared that tho merchant
should advertise the quality and
adaptability of his goods rather than
depend on advertising prices. Ho
spoke In part as follows:
' It is a sad, but too true, fact that
country merchants as a rule, are not
extensive advertisers. I am convinc
ed that they should advertise regu
larly and persistently. I believe so,
not only because some people who
aro supposed to know say so, but
also because my actual experience In
connection with retail advertising in
a small town has demonstrated to me
the far-reaching beneilts, both direct
and indirect, to bo derived from per
sistent advertising.''
Limousine of the Ex-8peaker That Cot
$6,500 Brings $660.
Uncle Joo Cannon, who wielded the
jmvel for so many years In the house
of representatives, recently decided to
sell hta seven passenger forty horse
power llmouslno nnd so put It in the
hands of a Washington nuctlon com
pany. "We have hero the automobile be
longing to former Speaker Cannon,"
announced the auctioneer. "What am
I bid?"
"Two hundred dollars," proclaimed a
stentorian voice from the crowd.
"Two fifty," echoed another voice.
"I'll make it $300," called a third
person.
"What, only $300 for tho automobile
of n former speaker of the house of
representatives?" protested the auc
tioneer. "Why, n pair of George Wash
ington's socks would bring more than
that."
"Sure, I can break it up and sell it
for souvenirs for more than that,"
came the cry from nn unheard district.
"I'll make It three twenty-five."
"It's mine nt three fifty," declared
another voice.
So It went on, finally stopping nt
$000. The auctioneer told his auditors
that the machine had originally cost
S0.C00. But tho bid stuck, and finally
tho hammer feu.
New Poetry by Homer Greene
Homer Greeno has emerged from
Ills poetical retirement of many
years and is again contributing verso
to leading periodicals nnd Journals.
Wo reproduco thrco of his latest
pocniB in this Issue: "Thoudas"
which appeared recently In tho Now
York Tribune, "Tho Lost Leader"
and "At Armageddon" which were
published still more recently in tho
New York Sun. Whether Mr. Greeno
has In mind certain political events
of tho day is for tho readers of the
verses to discover.
Tho poems have attracted wide
attention, have been extensively cop
ied by tho press, and Mr. Greeno hns
received much commendation for
them, both In tho public prints and
by prlvato letters.
Ero thou dare to ralso My standard
or prosumo to follow Mo;
Pledge thy soul to all disaster to ful
fil my given Word,
Then go forth to Armageddon and do
battle for tho Lord."

DOUBLE DEALING.
In his quest for votes, Theodore
Roosevelt is telling the western
farmers that "the Canadian reci
procity act was a Jug-handled ar
rangement under which tho farmer
paid tho freight."
Yet this same Roosevelt, after
President Taft had submitted tho
reciprocity act to him for his opinion
In advance of its- adoption by Con
gress, wrote back that "what you
propose to do with Canada is ad
mirable from every standpoint." Ho
added:
I firmly believe in free trade
with Canada for both economic
and political reasons. As you
say, labor cost is substantially
the samo in tho two countries,
so that you aro amply Justified
by the platform. Whether Can
ada will accept such reciprocity
I do not know, but it is greatly
to your credit to mako tho ef
fort. It may damage tho Re
publican party for a while, but
it will surely benefit tho party
In the end. especially if you
tackle wool, cotton, etc., as you
propose.
And tho above letter bore this

Roosevelt." Ever yours. Indeed!

TRYING TO FOOL THE PEOPLE.
Tho Progressive platform con
tains many 'moral maxims and
humanitarian propositions with
which all right minded men agree.
Tho Bull Moosors have no monopoly
on tho dcslro that tho conditions of
labor, especially of woman and child
labor, shall be ameliorated. But
they do appear to have won tltlo to
tho exclusivo uso of that peculiar
form of embezzlement of public con'
fldenco which would doludo tho un-
thinking into the belief that voting
tho Bull Mooso candidate Into a third
term In tho Whlto House will insure
tho enactment of reforms which In
fact neither ho nor any othor Presi
dent, under our laws, would havo
power to bring about.
Tho Bull Mooso platform Is a
charter of falso protenso almost 'from
beginning to end, becauso It promises
from an administration of tho na
tional government things which tho
national government cannot give
Nine-tenths of tho glittering pledges
of that platform Involve questions
TREE PLANTING
Dr. Schaetfer's Arbor Day procla
mation is a clear presentation of the
advantages of tree culture, with
special reference to tho necessity for
providing new chestnut trees to take
tho places of the thousands being
blled by the blight.
His recommendations will
less bo followed in all tho
schools of tho State and a
generation will observe at least some
results from the efforts of the school
children of to-day.
While wo believe most firmly in
the Arbor Day custom and would
not bo understood as saying anything
in its disparagement, wo always havo
a feeling of regret on these occasions
that so much commendablo efforts
is wasted.
Treo planting Is a science, and In
asmuch as nearly all tho Arbor Day
trees aro planted by amateurs and
aro snbsequently permitted to fight
their own battles among unnatural
conditions, without any aid whatever
a very largo percentage of tho sap
lings never reach maturity,
Tho variety of trees chosen is sel
dom governed by tho character of the
soil where tho planting is to take
place and other Important clrcum
stances which an expert would take
into consideration.
If it were possible and wo seo no
reason why it should not be to have
all these celebrations under the su
pervlsion of a body like tho Park
Commission, wo would havo a great
many more trees for our pains
Most of tho European cities havo
awakened to the fact that treo plant
ing, to be really worth while, must
bo done by experts. Only tho men
who havo made a study of tho sci
ence aro able to tell with any degreo
of certainty what trees will grow In
what places and how to mako them
grow.
Dr. Schaffer recommends tho
planting of chestnuts. Wo aro not
prepared to say that from tho scien
tific viewpoint that Is not tho thing
to do at tho present time, nor aro
wc suro that it is.
TIME SIGNALS BY WIRELESS.
To Be Flashed From Arlington All
Over tho Country.
Under orders from the secretary of
tho navy the new wireless station nt
Arlington. Vn., which will bo tno lar
gest In tho world, is to-send out time
Biennis to all parts of tho United States
and ns far out to sea as the radius of
the station may reach. Tho three stool
towers of tho station aro now nearly
completed, tho center one being 030
feet high nnd making a landmark that
Is scon for many miles In every dlrec
tlnn. Besides maintaining communl
cation with naval vessels In all parts
of tho Atlantic, the flashing of time
signals throughout tho country will be
ono of the chief functions of tho now
station.
Tho United States will bo tho first
nation in which the flashing of time
signals by wireless has been attempted.
Thero nre many meciianicai mmcui
ties in time flashing yet to be solved.
It Is not known what wave length will
bo most effective at the wireless sta
tion. It in not certain Just how far
over tho Allegheny mountains tho new
station will be nblo to reach. It is ex
pected that flashes from Arlington will
go 3,000 miles out to sea, but wnetner
they will reach more than 1,500 mllos
to tho west or even that far Is yet to
bo shown.
NEGRO PROMOTED TO MAJOR.
Ftret of His Raco to Attain That Rank
In tho Regular Army.
In his promotion to tho rank of maj
or, Just nnnouncod nt tho war depart
ment, Charles Young of the Ninth cav
alry, a negro, becomes the first man of
Ids raco to attain that grndo in tho
regular army of tho United States.
Major Young Is also tho only negro
officer of the army "rtio was graduated
from tho military ncademy at West
Point
Ho has served with tho Ninth cav
alry, Tenth cavalry nnd Twenty-fifth
Infantry, all negro regiments, during
his entire service, with the oxception
of n year's servlco In tho Seventh cav
nlry, n whlto regiment
no is now attached to tho American
legation at Monrovia, Liberia, nnd at
the request of tho Llberlan govern
ment hns been permitted to nsslst in
the organization nnd instruction of the
Llberlan army. His record, it is said
at tho war department, is without
blemish.
FEWER BANKNOTES BY HAND.
Bureau of Engraving Begins Printing
With Power Presses.
For tho first time In twenty years
tho bureau of engraving and printing
of tho treasury department recently
began turning out national bank notes
nnd other paper currency printed on
power presses.
Sixteen presses turning out 4,500
notes a day were put in operation
This wns tho result of a compromise
Inserted In tho sundry civil npproprla
tlon bill permitting tho uso of power
presses.
Orgnnizcd lnbor made a strong fight
to prevent their use, but ngreed that
one-fifth of tho total amount of paper
currency should bo printed by power
instead of by tho old hand presses.
Theudas.
"For before theso days rose up
Theudas boasting himself to bo some
body, to whom a number of men,
about four hundred, Joined them
selves; who wns slain, nnd all, as
many as obeyed him, were scattered
and brought to naught." Acts v,
3G.J
Oh, Theudas, of tho later day!
Like to thy prototype of old;
Eager to tread ambition's way,
Boasting thyself as one grown bold
To guard the sheep within tho fold.
Oh, shepherd, with tho borrowed
crook!
Mouthing thy demagogic plea
With specious phrase and dauntless
look;
"All things to all men" thou
would'st be,
If but tho sheep will follow thee.
Crying "Thou shalt not!" thro' the
land,
Tho while tho daring plan Is laid
To inch tho ballot from the hand
Of him who holds it undismayed
By whispered taunt or loud tirade.
From the high hills of other days,
To what strango depths thy feet
go down!
Ah! sad the trailing of those bays
That bound thy head as with
crown
In tho bright years of thy renown.
And sad tho conscience crucified,
Tho empty boast, tho baseless cry,
Tho heart puffed up with heartless
pride,
Tho rabble's shout thy vox Del,
Whilo honor goes unheeded by.
Already, Theudas, thou art slain;
For honor lost Is death indeed;
And he can never live again
Who prostitutes his country's need
To love of self and lawless greed
But what of those four hundred men
Who, blinded, joined themselves to
thee?
Ah, Theudas, think of these! and
then
Unseal their eyes and set them
free
And this shall bo thy victory.
Naturo is good to tho United
States, and she does not pay much
attention to tho Jeremiads of dema
gogues who scorn to tako delight In
forecasting ovll. Tho country Is not
'going to tho dogs," no matter how
tho elections go. And it Is a land of
abundnnco and of unprecedented re
sources, despite nil assertions to tho
contrary. Wc are In tho midst of an
exciting national election. nut wo
nro also busy gathering crops which
will exceed tho average if they do
not In so mo respects break preceding
records. The New York Herald has
dono some good work In securing
estimates of harvests In the West
Tho Information comes from a Chi
cago bank which makes a specialty
of collecting facts or this kind, and
therefore Is reliable. It Is shown
from this source that tho agricultural
wealth produced by the five states of
Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dako
ta, South Dakota and Montana In
1912 will exceed $500,000,000. Tho
statement is mado In refutation of
rumors of foreign origin to the effect
that there would bo a crop shortage
In the United States this season.
tho nvo states mentioned are
among the most prominent In farm
production in the Northwest, but by
no means represent the limit of pos
sibilities in that and other quarters.
Other states which raise vast quan
tities of wheat, corn, oats and the
like as well as fruits and a wide
range of valuable products aro Iowa,
Nebraska, Kansas, Texas and Okla
homa. Then there Is Illinois, in
which Chicago is situated, the big
gest corn-grower of them all, with
Indiana, Ohio and Michigan, all
heavy contributors to tho annual vol
ume of wealth from the soil. In
short, thero is not a section. East.
West, North or South, whero agricul
tural prospects, aro not bright, with
every indication that in tho final
returns the figures will be Imposing.
There have been some drawbacks
here and there, but the farm output
of the country as a whole is such as
to assure enough and to spare. And
when tho crops aro good the people
havo a foundation for prosperity sure
and steadfast.

"Tho Lost Lender."
"Just for a handful of silver ho left
us,
Just for a riband to stick In his
coat."
Browning.
Not lost like him who felt thy scorn,
O poet of the mother land!
No riband by our leader worn,
No Jingling silver in his hand;
And yet upon his brow tho brand.
Not lost liko him, O poet great,
Who shrank beneath thy burning
pen,
And fell to silence In tho state,
Nor dared to seek his own again,
Or bravo the mockery of men.
Our leader lost, up from his fall
Strides blatant through the gaping
throng
To mount his self built pedestal
And rail against a fancied wrong,
And all vindictive hates prolong.
Bousing tho rabble at his feet
To soil tho flag that keeps them
free;
Whilo patriot hearts as ever beat
Aro swayed by his fallacious plea
Till they forswear their liberty.
Nb bribe indeed hath stained his soul
Or stirred his heart to seek our
fall:
But, Just to reach his sordid goal,
no Darters honor, faith, and all
That mado him onco our general.
Lost, lost Indeed! And nevermore,
Though nations bow at his command,
Though glory crown him as of yore,
Shall we, who held of old his hand,
Find our lost leader In the land.
Yet, surely, in tho far off years.
Whero passions pall and hatreds
neo.
Wo shall remember him with tears.
That, though ho loft us ruthlessly,
Our gallant captain onco was he

We noticed In one of the Wilkes
Barro papers a short time ago that
tho Co-operative Store of that place
had gono into tho hands of receiv
ers. There is a Pennsylvania State
law mado in 1S8S which says that
any credit whatever extended to a
concern of this kind is liable to for
feiture, or in other words the credi
tors of this concern cannot collect
any of tho bills against it, unless tho
concern Is honest enough to pay
them. The affair has not been set
tled at the present writing. The
great trouble with theso co-operative
associations is that tho people
expect too much for nothing. It is
also unusually hard to find a capable
manager.
This Wllkes-Barre store was tho
mother of the local Institution
which sold out to F. E. Lawyer four
months ago. Tho offspring, how
over, made a much better showing
and was as successful as possible to
be, until the men who were com
pelled to direct it became tired of
working for nothing.
