The news that the grand old forest

With all this talk about the cost o

There needs to be an economy of tlm
as well as money. It is becoming to
easy and too natural to let the othe
fellow do n great many things that w
could just as well do ourselves.
President Taft's message on th
subject of disturbing the Judiciary a
times when it is most needed Is clea
and emphatic. He considers the indc
pendence of the judges of the land c
far greater importance than the bei
eflts to be derived by a sparsely se
tied territory from statehood. As tlm
goes on even those who now dlsagre
with the president on his veto wl
understand the logic of his posltlo
and give It thelrendorsement.
There seems little doubt that tli
Canadians will pass the reclproclt
agreement , although there must fin
be a general election. There Is m
much danger , however , as to the r <
suits of the election. It Is an impor
ant experiment. If It works out su
cessfully , as a majority In both com
tries believe It will , It will be extein
ed. If it proves unsuccessful it wi
be abrogated. But in any event thei
will be an Increasing trade betwee
two peoples so alike in tastes and se
nrnted only by an imaginary line.

Postmaster General Hitchcock w
recommend in his coming annual i
port the doing away with the weigh ! ]
of mall matter by which rates for ci
rylng It have been fixed by the ra
roads and giving compensation in i
cordance with the space required
the distribution and carriage of t
malls together with the frequency
the service performed. In other wor
th'o postal department has come to t
, conclusion that the proper way for t
government to do Is to pay for t
service that It actually gets. R
Hitchcock believes that under the m
plan a saving of nine millions of d
lars a year can be made.
. That cholera scare , which only
month ago threatened New York a
the whole country , has subsided n
there Is no longer any fear of Its
vaslon this year. If we , as a. peep
have advanced In one way more th
another during recent years It Is
the care and protection of pub
health. It was not so long since grc
contagions of disease swept over t
country nnd thousands died from the
In n single season. A vessel bearl
yellow fever or cholera patients , co
ing into New York harbor or any otli
of the Atlantic ports , was n signal
general despair and alarm because
was accepted that the disease woi
spread and much sorrow ensue. Tl
year the cholera patients were tak
core of who arrived In New York , n
no contagion resulted. The count
owes a great deal not only to the fal
ful officials at the metropolis for thi
care nnd alertness but as well to t
thousands of medical men and heal
ifllcers and teachers and scientists
vho have been so effectively Instilling
he principles of modern hygiene Into
ho public mind In recent years.
There Is reason for special congrat-
ilatlon In the Increasing value and
llgnlty that Is being placed upon spe
cial preparation for the diplomatic
service of the United States. There
vns a time , we admit with shame ,
vhen diplomatic appointments were
landed out ns rewards for party ser
vice , with very little regard as to the
Itncss of the Individual for the post-
Ion. Those days are forever gone.
Ambitious young men realize the
change and are entering minor posl-
Ions In the legations nnd embassies
that they may by years of service be
come fitted for those of greater Im
portance. A successful diplomatist
mist bo n person ot exceptional ad-
Iress , educated , cultured , n linguist
and a compendium of general Informa
tion. Especially must he be familiar
with the manners , customs and gov
ernmental methods of the country to
which ho Is accredited. But it is all
worth while , for In American diplo
macy Is opportunity for n career of In
ternational prominence nnd celebrity.
TAPT UPHELD.
Congress stands pat with President
Taft. The effort to override the pres
ident's veto on the wool bill has failed.
The president , in his message , points
out that the only Intelligent thing to
do Is to await n report of the tariff
commission , now making an Investi
gation on a scientific basis , Into the
tariff. To act hastily now , without
awaiting that report whlcli will be
available In December , would be a sil
ly play to the galleries and not con
sistent with wise statesmanship.
HERE'S A SUGGESTION.
There Is more human Interest In the
aeroplane today than in any other
line of activity. A number of airship
meets have been held In Nebraska ,
with varying success , but none that
has yet been held would In any way
detract from the Interest that would
center In a great airship exhibition in
Norfolk this fall. For a couple of
thousand dollars a line of flying ol
high order ought to be available , and
such a program might furnish the fea
ture of a fall festival which would
give to the people of Norfolk's terrl
tory the entertainment that they crave
once a year.
A famous band to make music and a
live stock show , in which fine spec !
mens of farm stock could be assein
bled , might also be drawing cards.
A POLITICAL LESSON.
As the balance of power , the insur
gents In congress have been carrying
things with a high hand. They have
been able to dictate either to the re
publicans or democrats , neither 01
whom could act without them. Bui
on Friday the regulars dcmonstratec
to the insurgents that If they care tc
be branded as republicans , and to re
celvo republican help , they must ap
predate the fact that , all alone , UK
Insurgent band Is a mighty small call
bretl affair.
The republicans absented them
selves , leaving the insurgents and tin
democrats with whom they have beei
making love , together. Seeing the !
opportunity , the democrats cut loosi
from their affinity nnd began votini
through democratic measures. Thi
o Insurgents , opposed to the measures
found themselves outvoted and heir
less. They grilled the faithless demc
crats and uttered angry words agains
the designing republicans who hai
thus left them In the lurch.
All of which demonstrates that th
"balance of power , " if It wants to ge
anywhere , must be faithful either t
one side or the other In the fight that1
on.
MADISON COUNTY TICKET.
Republicans of Madison county ma
111 well feel pleased over the result of th
primary election held last Tuesdaj
A splendid ticket has been placed 1
ig

The ticket Is n strong one , from top
to bottom.
AUGUST.
In many ways August Is the crownIng -
Ing month of the year. It IB n period
of fruitions. And yet there Is not that
approach of the cooler weather of Sep
tember that brings haunting remind-
crs of the decline of the year. August
Is the high tide of nature's llfo , the
ull rounded consummation of her tolls
nd her Joys , nnd as yet there Is no
Int of the Inevitable ebb.
To most people August Is an unpop-
lar section of the revolving year ,
ho sun has gone n considerable dls-
inco southward , hut little relief has
s yet come to the heat. There arc
ays of Intense humidity when an air
urfeltcd with abnormal moisture lays
ts oppressive and clammy hand on
ho human physique.
Most nature lovers would perhaps
jay that Juno Is the high tide of the
ear , that glorious period of nature's
dolescence , when nil her greenery la
ntalnted by the tan of the sun and
he soil of flying dust , when all IE
ope and expectation.
And yet , Just as there are few people
f middle life who would care to live
.11 through the struggles and ques
lonlngs of their youth , even thougli
hat youth was gay with song and
ance , so Juno at Its best Is n time ol
mmaturlty. The seed has been casl
nto the ground , but It has been left tc
ho chances and changes of n fate be
fond the power and ken of man. The.
uture Is a fog bank , and no one knows
whether his toll Is to bring a prize or r
blank.
In August the harvest of the pro
ducts of the earth fills the air wltl
sweet odors , the shimmer of the glos
sy corn Is the visible sign of the
wealth of nutriment which a lovinf
mture has placed out of sight in UK
black soil. The golden apples are red
dening In the tree tops , and the air Is
Harmonious with the hum of insec
olces.
The work of the fields has so fai
progressed that the teller at the wors
ms faced his losses and has little feai
of future decline , and under usua
conditions he Is sure of ample reward
September and October have i
higher pitched chord of color am
sound , and a riper and more abundan
harvest But In the frosts that se
aflame the tree tops there Is the coli
forbidding touch of death.
RAIN.FALL.
Is the cutting of .American forest
affecting general rainfall ?
If the theory of some scientists 1
correct , that the reduction of fores
areas has caused general rainfall ti
decline , public water supplies wil
provo inadequate.
Prof. Willis Moore , chief of th
weather bureau , threw a worrisom
bombshell Into the camp of the cor
servatlonlsts , when he said that foi
est cutting is not merely not affectln
general rainfall , but ho minimizes It
alleged tendency to create freshets i
spring , with a corresponding sma'
rim off of water In summer.
Ills statement as respects freshet
was less significant than it was gei
orally regarded at the time. Pro
Moore took the ground that soil unde
agricultural cultivation may retal
water just as well as soil supportln
an ancient tree growth. He produce
figures from the valley of the Seln
covering several centuries , tending t
support his view that deforestatlo
did not have these unfavorable result
The conditions In the Seine valle ;
one of the garden spots of the worli
are , however , different from those pr
vailing in our country when the tic
her is removed. The thrifty Frenc
peasants , one can well Imagine , malt
careful use of the deforested areas fc
farm purposes , and the ploughed an
fertilized land quite likely may retal
moisture as well as the tree growth.
In our country , when a forest is r
moved it Is quite likely to grow u
merely to rough untilled brush Ian
which ono would think would not r
tain moisture as well as the old fores
The observations of Individuals H
Ing along great rivers has been durlr
recent years , that In spring the watei
reach portions of the banks nevi
touched before' while In summer , h
ands not before accessible , can I
reached with dry feet.
Rain comes from the clouds of mol
ture drawn up from the vast ocer
wastes to the south and southwest i
our shores. Until these dry up U
rupply will equalize In long periods i
years.
One of the best rainfall records i
the country has been that of Samu
Redman and his son of Now Bedfor
Mass. , kept from 1814 to 1908. F <
the fifty years from 1814 to 18C4 , th
showed nn average of 40 Inches pi
year , and from 18G5 to 1908 , nn a
erago of 47 inches.
In spite of the deforestation in U
Ohio valley , rainfall figures at Clncl
natl from 1871 to 1889 showed an a
erago of 41.3 Inches , and from 1890 i
1908 , of 41.8 Inches.

o All the hope and ambition In thi

Some people have too much respec

My experience with country-town sc
clety Is that It Is very pleasant untl
the singing begins.
.Other people are ns selfish as yon
are ; that's the reason you must ai
n
tend to your own affairs , or they won' '
bo attended to.
When a'man falls In business , som
people always say : "I'll bet he featl

v Don't laugh at ugly people ; prol

You might as well take your mod

Whether a man's fault is foolls

talking or foolish writing , does nc

You may not always know the trutl
but when you finally discover It , It I
foolish to deny It.
That which we know as "learning ,
and which nil of us are criticised fc
knowing too little nbout , is not so in
portant as school teachers and pr <
fessors believe. But learn all you ca
that's modern , and useful , and true.
Frequently you do not know , nn
cannot find out , but politeness , fal
ness , Industry and temperance wl
never fall you. And If you add ca\ \
tlon , and as much simple comma
sense as you can acquire as a result c
experience and reading , you hav
about all there Is.

Useless DolnQs.
There la no use In cussing when
things nro going wrong , for saying
things nnd fussing won't bring gooc
luck along. If fortune treats you mean

around serenely , and smile the good
old way. There Is no use repining If
you have got an ache ; there Is no use
in whining as though your hearl
would break It's best to sit and suf
fer your little pain nnd grin ; your luck
might bo much tougher than It has
ever been. Sometimes the gods cor
rect you , and If you give no screech
your neighbors will respect you , ant

use in ranting ; the quiet man is best ;

If , to shield my hearth and home ,
brain him with his weighty tome , the
janizaries of the law will lead me to a

I slew an agent long ago ; with fervk

The Silken Cords of Love.
Say , girlie , if you know your power
over that young man you'd bo as-
( ounded. If ho truly loves you ho will
go through flro , snow and water for
you. In the full flush of courtship he
will do your will though the sky fall.
But it's his nature to bo both Dr.
Jekyl nnd Mr. Hyde. Ho will flatter
you , ho will give you handsome gifts ,
he will sacrifice his nil for , nnd the
nest moment ho will tempt you. Be
ing n man , ho craves ownership , but
you're not his property , oven though
a diamond glistens on your finger.
Stand by your colors. Prove to him
that you're sweet and modest and
clean. Draw your lino. Ho will not
ho dare not cross it It's your peril.
Ho will respect you for it Down
deep underneath you're the typo of
woman ho wants. Whatever or how
ever a man may feel after marriage ,
secretly before marriage he la delight
ed to feel that "that little girl" can
make him do anything. There's your
time , young woman. Consecrate the
rose on your cheek , the sparkle of your
eye , all the charms of womanhood
which he is so eager to possess. Make
him pay a price for them. Let that
price bo none otlicr than the upholding
of his nobler self.
Fish to Leave Alone.
Marriage at best Is uncertain , but
there's no use insisting on having n
rotten npplc. When you hear girls
say of n young follow , "Oh , my , ain't
ho just liTi'slstlhlo ? " "He don't care
how ho spends money on a girl so
long's hu shown her a good time"
tlmt'it a good t.vpo to leave alone. A
weak man needs a < ? much watching as
a bad one and does as much damage.
If you must marry him do It quick
before hr > goes to Jail or skips the
town. You don't want to bo disgraced
before you are married. Don't marry
a rake to reform him. It can't be done
except on the stage or in flctlon. If
he won't be decent for his own sake
and his mother's ho won't bo for yours.
There's no magic in a marriage cere
mony. You want to start a homo , not
a Keeley cure. Don't marry n scoffer
of religion. You don't want a fanatic
who is so pious no one can live with
him , nor do you want a sneering skep
tic. He's a shallow man who doesn't
respect the sacred things of another.
Don't elope. Occasionally parental
tyranny demands radical action , but
runaway marriages ninoty-nino out of
a hundred mean abandonment , dis
grace , divorce and hell , so the deser
tion and divorce judges sayy
Your Beau Ideal.
Of course you are seeking your ideal
and you will expect to find him until
you are thirty. Strange to say , you
would tire of him or ho of you before
the honeymoon would wane. What is
your ideal beauty ? Remember Ju
venal , "When the gods would torment
a woman they give her a handsome
husband ? " Besides the beauty man
will bo vain nnd selfish. Rave over
brains ? But he's a dull bookworm or
has nil the rasping Irritability of
genius. Remember Carlyle's Jane ?
The college athlete ? Next to society
divorces and the stage statistics show
the woman who marries an athlete is
most likely to apply for n divorce. The
soldier of fortune , dashing nnd hand
some ? But ho has a debonair way
of slipping off with some other roman
tic maiden , leaving unpaid hills , bro
ken hearts and unwelcome offspring.
Mighty queer , but the picture in the
comic papers , uproariously funny for
ngcs , of the man carrying the crying
baby is nearest the real ideal. It rep
resents the domestic spirit , the fellow
who loves home , willing to shnro the
trying things of a woman's llfo , the
man who loves you in eplto of your
faults and endures things for your own
dear sako. The other ideal , half dare
devil , half saint , part scholar , part Don
Cacaar , is Impossible and oilata only
