And an “the younger’ generation prate of this most wonderful of o how the days are growing shorter, the air more velvetry, the joy of live ing more appreciable, there is always one of the oldest inhabitants at our shoulder to tell us we know not of ‘what we talk, we are newcomers cn this mundane sphere, We have yet ‘%o live and to learn. And they are right. For therg are few of us this side of the zenith of life who can really recall Indian Summer as it was in the old days, the good old days, that are gone beyond recall. And if we do remember a real, honest-to-goodness, dyed-in-the-wool Indian Summer, we must know that it never really ‘took place this early in the year. It always came just before Thanksgiving, say about two weeks before the turkey was shorn of his earthly power, well, Just about the time grandpa went out in the barn yard and looked over Mr. Gobler previous to the feast. And, having conjured up this much of an old time Indian Summer we know ithat as such things are counted now those of the past were the real ones, the ones over which poets had irea- son to sing, the days lovers had cause to_love, when the morning air sent a thrill through the bones, when the cool of the evening was ripe even unto mellowness. Oh! Those were the days- Is it a wonder then that the pld- timers now go along their weary way with their heads cast down, with slow nodding as if to say, The world is all wrong? Is it not cause for them to grieve when they hear their predestined successors launch fortn into elogquence at a season of the year that no longer measures up to what it did in days gone by? Worse still, a liberty, “a’{ how can they. bear to hear the fore- casters tell of an Indian Summer at hand in the early stages of October when at the very earliest it could be present only in the dying stages of this dank, dark and dreadfully dreary month. Why, man alive, we might even have an intervening snow-storm before Indian Summer really comes along, and yet here are these boys who have nothing else to do but lean their broad shoulders up against the sunny side of some main street building and tell of What kind of weather we are enjoying. These insolent young people to take away all the glories from those who should know all these things, and do know them, by reason of the fact that they have weathered variagated seasons of life. If you think the young fellows know anything about their subject just go forth on any highway and en- counter an oldish man, one who has seen all the seasons of the year many times over, and ask him what he knows about Indian Summer. Should he be honest with you, and he most surely will, he will tell you that com- pared with the days of his youth, when Indian Summers were abundant and luxurious as the ra- diant blushes of sweet maidenhood, the present day knows not the won- derful glories of Indian Summer; that the sylvan dells and hillsides are not as golden as he once knew; that they are not as hazy and misty and dreamy and enchanting as, well those of fifty years ago. Purple, gold, silver, and pearl are the shades prevalent during Indian Summer, when the rich colorings of the trees taka on an added lustre that is born over again every morn just before the angeis step out on the tufted green and blow the dewdrops away so the feet of earthly wanderers may not grow damp and weary. ‘When the birds sing forth in'all the joyousness of their innocent hearts, when the clouds drift away and leave the sky hanging like a huge mantel over all mank}nd, that is Indian Summer. back this year as reign in the past. as May it come it was wont to PROTECTING THE PRESIDE N'T. Sunday while President Wilson and his flancee were attending church in Ealtimore, the Monumental City, the gecret service men were forced to ar- rest a particularly peculiar individual Who found especial delight in dogging the presidential footsteps. The guar- dians of the President saw something supremely suspicious in the actions of this man and so they forthwith cast him in jail from whence he was liberated, after it had been duly es- tablished that he was a harmless in- cividual, someone who probably wanted to get the president's auto- graph to a book, or a donation for some relief fund. But, withal, it was a good thing that the man was ap- prehended. He had no business to follow the President in such fashion as to prove embarrassing the church-going party, or to arouse suspicion as to his intentions. And even if the secret service men did make a mistake and lay hands on a harmless creature, it were better that this happened than that they allowed him to carry out his maneuverings, or to prove himself later a fiend. It has been just fourteen years ago thdt the United States was plunged in sorrow because the secret service nien at Buffalo allowed a stranger, to carrying a revolver’ covered with handkerchief, to approach the a late President McKinley. At thig particu- lar time, when all the world seems to Lave a grievance against some thing or individual, it is time that a better protection be thrown around the chief executive of the land. Past events have shown to what means men will resort to accomplish their ends. Hap- pily the era of bomb throwing is over, the day of blowing up ships and factories has passed. But those things have at least served as warn- ings, and a man in public life is al- ways at the mercy of the rabble. Understanding all this, the men of the secret service did well in blocking the Ealtimore stranger in his endeavor to get too near the President. When the seas are troubled it is well to keep a sharp lookout. FACTS AND FANCIES.

With the United States treasury rapidly approaching bankruptcy in spite-of burdensome,income and spe- cial taxes, and with the certainty of our markets being flooded with cheap goods immediately after the ending of the war, it is obvious to all but the most bigoted that a restoration of protection is imperatively neces- sary.—Kingston Freeman.

Peace has settled over the mining properties in the state of Colorado as a result of the broadmindedness, the liberality, the moral courage, the democracy, of%this single man. As we said when we received our first impression of the young man’s to the mining camps, which was a pleasant one, there is nothing more important in safeguarding the rela- tions of employer and employed than the utilization of the human equa- tion. It is capable of wonders. It is when the human equation is elim- inated, and a substitute force intro- duced, that trouble comes. The younger Rockefeller has taught other trustees of great accumulations a needed lesson. He has made good.— New Haven Journal-Courier. It will be interestinf to see how potent will be Mr. Rockefeller's in- fluence ‘when he comes to justify his altruism to those men whose money is tied up in the Colorado mining properties and who will demand their dividends no matter what becomes of the human forces who have hereto- fore utilized the natural elements so that big dividends were possible. Mr. Rockefeller has ‘“seen the wheels go round.” The trustees have seen only the product of the revolving process. It remains to be seen whether they can be convinced that the ‘“personal equation” is a big enough factor to be cultivated. 17 they can once be persuaded that con- sideration of a man Will bring them in as great returns, as their attention to a human machine, it is possible Mr. Rockefeller will not have difficulty in convincing his friends of the material benefit to be derived from the new cheme, family and frontier.— | visit | WHAT OTHERS SAY Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to the Herald Office. Getting Rid of Mexico for a While. (New London Day.) Because it is to be advocated by Secretary Lansing instead of by for- mer Secretary Bryan there will be much less outery against the recog- nition of the Carranza government of Mexico than would have been the case under the alternative circumstance. At first sight this appears like mighty poor sense. On closer examination it looks better, Secretary Bryan demonstrated be- yond reasonable doubt that in di- plomacy he was the sketchiest of im- Iressionists. He played hunches. He jumped at conclusions—frequently erroneous—and stuck to them through thick and thin. He argued backward from conclusion to premises. He found facts to support his theories and rejected facts which combatted them. Because the people of the country found him out, knew his weaknesses and expected them to enter into his diplomacy, they lacked confidence in his judgments and did rot hesitate to take exceptions to them, even when not overly informed cn the subjects themselves. On the opposite hand, Secretary Lansing has inspired the people with the utmost confidence in the orderli- uess of his mind, his capacity for weighing values, the comprehensive- uess of his viewpoint, and his free- dom from prejudice or timidity. A judgment of his is accepted as a mature judgment, not a snap judg- ment, and as the result of nice ju- cicial consideration. Consequently when Secretary Lan- sing states, as he is expected to do, that in his opinion the best interests of the United States will be sub- served by the recognition of the Car- ranza government that decision will be accepted by many thousands of Americans who would never have ac- of Mr. Bryan, even though the latter had for once happened to arrive at the conclusion by precisely the same processes as those employed by Mr. Lansing. And it is entirely natural and justifiable that this should be so. This newspaper, for one, is willing to accept the judgment of the secre- tary of state without protest, because it has confidence in the Lansing good sense and the Lansing capacity for sorting and balancing the facts though it has alway: unfitness of Carranza and has completely altered its opinion new. The sum of the situation is that the Mexican problem must be gotten out of the way, and imperatively without the involvement of this country at this time in any sort of a war with Mexico or with any Mexican faction. These are too perilous times for -this cointry to undertake a policing in Mexico if there is an decent way of avoiding it. So it is justifiable to accept any opportunity that presents itself for the solving of the situation even temporarily. That the present ascendeney of the Carranza faction presents such an opportunity is true. For the United States to seize upon it may not be heroic but it is 'prob- ably wise. We are willing to take Mr. Lansing's say so that it is. A Carranza government, under pan- American recognition, would probably he measurably successful for a while. Just possibly it might resolve itself eventually into a really good govern- ment. In any event it would be likely to last until the world war is over, the TUnited States’put in a state of mili- tary preparedness, and the Mexican situation, if it should again become acute, is not too big a one to be handled forcibly, speedily and with- out such loss and confusion as would result from an attempt to police the country at this time. not Kentucky Editors.

(Manchester Herald.) conceived and thought out German mind, postulating Ger- man invincibility in every respect, the three billion dollar loan is un- questionably an imposing event, says the New York Evening Sun. And if Germans are satisfied why should anybody else show any concern? Con- fidence in German soundness in all things in part of the great destiny of being a German. It was a banker in New Yark who told a story the other day which he ventured to call a parable of Teu- tonic finance. “There were two men in New York,” said he, “who were going to San Francisco. Now you can buy whiskey in New York for a dol- lar a bottle. But it costs $10 fn San Francisco, where 1 commodity prices range higher. So the two men determined to do a' stroke of business, and therefore they bought a bottle of Whiskey in New York to sell in San Francisco. They rted together on their journey and travel- ed uneventfully till they arrived at Buffalo. At that point one of the men developed thirst, and in spite jof the remonstrances of his partner As the cepted the same decision at the hands believed in the | job | he insisted on taking a drink from the bottle of whiskey. ‘But ©of course I'll pay you,’ said he, and gave the other man a quarter of a dollar, “The train rolled on and at Cleve- land the second man in turn found himself in dire need of & d he took a drink from thié: his present necessity and! réeiify his companion with a quarter dollar.

The jour- ney progressed, and at Chicago the man who had first helped himself to a drink took another, and again paid his companion a quarter; the same ; quarter- Proceeding, at Louis the alternate took another drink and reimbursed his fellow traveler with a quarter, the same quarter. And | o0 they went on, solvent and moder- | ately stimulated, and when they reached San Francisco at leat each of them had received a total payment of several dollars in cash and all his own money was intact in his pocket. But all the whiskey. was gone. Horrid Brute, (Youth’s Companion.)

As the lady was rather given (o | making great ado over trivial mis- | haps, and as the judge was much pre- occupied, he did not pay much heed. Soon after, however, finding her in tears, he made kindly inquiry as to their cause. | “It'’s your heartless in-indifference to anything that h-happens to me,” sobbed the aggrieved little woman, “1 | d-didn’t suppose you'd w-worry much | because I swallowed a button, but I d-did think you might have taken enough interest in it to inquire w- what kind of b-button it was.” which | pre- 8 The Country Girl, (Meriden Journal.) “It is time that the country girl vere getting her share of attention in the effort to advance the conditions of rural life.” This is the announcement of one of those critics of rural con- ditions who exist in such large num- | bers in the large cities, whose self- | complacency is equalled only by their ignorance of everything rural, and whose condescension is almost as ir- ritating as their assumption of super- icrity—if such a thing can be imagined, declares the Rochester Herald. The particular spe:men of the ob- noxious species whosz words Wwe have quoted finds that the country girl has been terribly neglected in the sccpe of the rural uplift. Only think of it, state universities send out scores of lecturers to men, but none to women. Crop-demonstration cars do not contain a single exhibit to show the country girl “the real poss bilities of enriching her home.” TIsn't it shameful? Naturally, it would nevey to a eritic of this type that there might Le a reason for such significant omis- sicns, and that this reason might be the ability of the country girl to carve cut her own career without the help of busybodies masquerading as up- lifters. The fact of the matter is that the typical country girl needs assist- ance in directing her mental ener- gies about as much as a German busi- ness man needs a training in effi- ciency. oceur Brave Little Serbia. (Bridgeport Farmer.) Not to Belgium, but to Serbia, must be conceded the glory of having made the most successful defense against the aggressions of powerful foes, that the world has been since Holland de- fended against Spain, centuries ago. At the opening of the war Belgium had a larger population than Serbia, though a somewhat smaller army. But the unorganized population of Belgium, available for military duty was about- 400,000 as against 60,000, Belgium, despite a brave resistan was soon overwhelmed, while Serbi; has until this time kept its territory free, driving the Austrians out soon after they crossed the Serbian fron- tiers. The Germans having now gained a foothold, aiding the Austrians, will have the aid of Bulgaria and there is every likelihood that this little country will be devastated as Belgium was. Serbia’s apparent military superior- ity over Belgium may be attributed’ to several causes. Belgium was opposed tc a German, and Austria to an Aus- trian foe. Serbia had more notice and | more time to prepare. Perhaps the chief reason is that Serbia had but just concluded a war, and had raised up a veteran soldiery, with experi- enced officers and equipment adequate to her needs, which Belgium lacked. A Plagued Industry. (New York Sun.) Conservation of natural resources is adorable when exploited to exploit a conservationist, but abominable if applied to keep an honest industry from bankruptey. It is stated from good authority that there is invested in the lumber industry in this country $2,250,000,000, and that when prosperous it gave em- ployment to 400,000 wage earners. The industry languished, failed to re- | turn profits, because of low prices sed by overproduction. Those ng capital invested proposed an | agreement to conserve the forests and were threatened with jail if they did so; that kind of conservation being a combination in restraint of trade. An investor in the plagued industry there- fore remarked: *If we conserve the forest we go to jail; if we do not we go into bankruptc The Federal Trade Commission, it is reported, has been so moved by the spectacle of innocent but bewildered citizens facing jail or bankruptcy that it contemplates asking Congress to | modify the Sherman act enough to | permit lumbermen to earn a living | without horrid visions of prison cells for so doing.

The sons of a noble held noble rank as families, but they had no claim on their father's dignities. Every nobleman had a clear right to elect the King, and could stand for the post himself, but in actual p tice the election generally fell to some prince from outside, chibfly be- cause election depended on two fac- tors—force and money In the eighteenth century the lish noble was in the position of lords in England: in was constantly at odds he tyrannized over the as he was generally har was for sale when it came to electing a new king.

And the critic right to extent. There is a sort of stigma at- tached to the word as it is found in every-day use. When one cannot find fault with a prominent man upon any firmer ground, he calls him a “high- brow” and lets it go at that, know- ing full well that many of his hearers will at once assume that the person thus anathematized is wholly im- practicable. Then, some believe that a “highbrow” is a fellow who runs around and meddles in other people’s affairs—a sort of trouble-maker who is displeased with the ways of the world and who would bring heaven to earth long before we are ready for heaven. So it is, in a sense, un- fortunate .that the term should have fallen to such low estate. Every person who has ever under- taken to help mankind has encounter- ed opposition. Mankind, it seems, re- sents being helped 1t would much prefer to help itself. So when a lit- tie band of unselfish women under- take to make a little brighter the lot of the working girl, they are branded as ‘“‘highbrows,” and their efforts ridiculed. When a man gives a sum of money to build playground, to beautify a park, somebody ) the people do not need any such at- tention from the “highbrows.” And thus are many unselfish aims of well- intentioned people rendered impotent. impotent.

Journalism creates superfi readers. Unfortunately, the immense growth of modern knowledge in all branches makes an intelligent super- ficiality a necessary requisite of edu- cation. The man who reads line for line and word for word is in these days stranded on a desert fisland. Everybody must make a dart for use- ful information and snatch it where he can. But sound mental discipline requires that this ver ity should be tempered by a certain amount of slow,”steady, thoughtful, drudging ap- plication. ~Now the newspapers and current magazines do not encourage this—they do not even admit of it Who would plod through a page of a great daily? Who could? Instead, we are trained to run diagonally from top to bottom between two mouthfuls, or in the midst of an inquiry to the neighbor's baby Nothing takes our attention but what is thrown at it; nothing really stim- ulates our thought but a leaded head- line or a staring picture. But here is a strange thing would think this wild hurry of writ- ers and readers would at least foster one of the chief literary merits™— brevity. Quite the contrary. Our newspapers are one of the wonders of the world for size—and padding. Why it is that when most of us want to read only the headlines, and should apparently be satisfled with headlines and nothing else, every newspaper is stuffed with column after column of amplification which cems to add little to the few essen- tial words printed at the top? The reason is obvious. It is precisely be- cause we have acquired such a happy facility in the art of skipping that we are perpetually invited to skip like little lambs. 1 want to satiate baseball, you with the Jones with politics, Jones with murder. We can each a us make perfect brevity of the others’ interests. But brevity for, the paper as a whole would be quite out of the question.
