The advancement of Senator Bran- degee to the front-row seat in the senate, formerly held by Senator Elk- ins of West Virginia, leaves no doubt as to how he stands among his sena- torfal associates, or how he is regard- ed by them. 'There is no question as to his preficiency as a senator, or that he deserved the commendation of the iate Orville H. Platt, who is today o extelled by the faetion who have hounded Senator Brandegee for the past thres ywars, and propose to keep it up for two years more. 7t is due to this faction—the Hill faction—that there is a democrat in the governor's chair today, and it is hecause of their h-handed methods thet this long senatorisl, campaign, with hundreds of thousands under it, has been pronounced by observing crities as the most demoralizing cam- patgn Connecticut or New Enghnd has ever witnessed; but they are still unabeshed and are shouting, “Let the merry war go on!” A republican letter writer to the Hartford Times gives them notice that they should mot in their present ela- tion be too sure of their power to put HiM in the place of Brandegee, since two years is quite a while to wait, and as this faction is making good dem- ocrats of good republicans every day, they may succeed in making a demo- crat the successor of Senator Brande- zee. It the republican party has any de- ire to carry Connecticut in 1912, it wants to work for organization in- stead of disorganization, or the 26,000 republicans, who stayed away from the polls last’ November may go to the polls two years from now and vote the straight democratic ticket. TO OPPOSE STATE TAXES. The state tax was imposed with the hope that it would prove to be a rTe- straint upon the legislative extrava- gance, and it seems to h taken well. The Mayor's association of Connecticut is for compelling the state to live upon its revenues. The Bridgeport Telegram says upon this subject: “Mayor Buckingham is taking ac- tive -part to oppose the laying of a state tax such as towns and cities have been obliged to pay during the Jast two years in order to atone for undue extravagance in the manage- ment of Connecticut affairs. Its im- position was resented from the first amd now that the victimized com- munities realize how much it adds to their taxes, the feeling is dally grow- ing stronger. Bridgeport’s share of the state tax was $87,000 last year, and a trifle over a mill was added to the tax rate in order to raise it. This has brought the necessity of retrench- ment upon the part of the state, home to everybody; and perhaps the object lesson has been worth the mopey.” It will be a healthy condition of things when the legislutors cease to vete gratuities and to enter upon #schemes in the name of the state which would not find favor with them as private individuals. The state’s in- come is large emough to meet every requirement. EXTENSION OF COTTON GROWING Peru is getting to be a promising cotton growing country, and has 125,- 000 acres of land under cultivation which turned out 55,000,000 pounds in 1910, at a valuation of seven millions. The cost of producing native cotton is placed at 2 1-2 cents a pound. Of the crop, 66 per cent. is American uplands, and 2 1-2° per cent. land and Matafin, Consul Miller of from Mexico ment: “In the wicinity of Columbus, Ta- maulipas, cotton has this season been wrown for the first time. During the last two years a resident of that place experimented on 4 small scale, and the results were such that not only he, but his neighbors also, became enthus- ia: over the prospects, pecial seed was imported from Georgia and the first planting made in Jun Several hundred acres were ¥ ted and the results are proving very satisfactory. The plants grow large and tall and the production was one bale and more per acre. The planters state that they have had no trouble from the boll weevil, but some mage was done by th& army worm. Already plans are being made for planting & mueb larger acreage next year, and more seed will be imported from the United States. Experienced cotton planters from Oklahoma and olher states express great faith in the prospects for the successfyl culti- wadion of ‘cotton In this district.” Tampico Wriles, to the state depart- end his term fat and jolly. \ \ NUMERALS AND ADVERSITY. A southern paper, the Fort Mills Times, has ventured to call attention to the figure one as an ill-omened digit when it is the last figure of 4 date. This editor recalls that “for the last fifty years every ¥ear ending with the fgure 1 had proved disastrous tos the counitry, especially to the south. The year 1861, the opening year of the war between the most states, was the most disastrous of all for this section. Ten years later, or in 1871, President Grant suspended the writ of habeas corpus in many states of the south, in which he used United States troops to hound down and persecute the Ku Klux clans Sea Is- | and their sympathizers, forcing many of the best citizens of this section to flee from their homes, at the same time placing the negroes one rung higher on the ladder of political as- cendency which they presently climb- ed to the top. Phor crops were the rule in 1871, many negroes refusing to work the fields as they had formerly done. Eighteen eighty-one was a notoriously dry year, no rain of consequence falling from May to September. Very poor crops were harvested as a result of the drought. Less than 9,000,000 bales of cotton _were grown in the south in 1891. Nine- teen one was another short crop year, the rainfall of the entire spring and summer being so excessive that farm- ers were able to give their fields lit- tle attention.” The Charleston News and Courier predicts a prosperous year notwith- standing the record and repudiates the figure 1 as a bad omen even when placed before 3 it makes 13. EDITORIAL NOTES. Commander Peary, having come within a mile of the North pole, is iikely to be humored with the cake. It is said that only ten tainted votes were aiscovered back of Lorimer. Just what was the necessity of having one. There is no denying that January warme up (0 us in a way to assure us that 1911 is making fair promises. ‘When congress votes $9,000 to in- vestigate rural ignorance it looks as if it did not view this broad fleld with hope. The Harriman lines have ordered four million dollars’ worth of locomo- tives and regard it as a regular ex- pense. These warm January days make a body feel as if he might meet a “lee- dle German band” around the next corner. The importation of diamonds last year amounted to forty-eight millions. Bpt, then, diamonds were selling cheaper. The preparatory legislative move- ments look so much like unnecessary delay that the uninitiated think they really ar When we read that the thermometer s marking 34 degrees below zero in Montana, it seems if Comnecticut was a warm country. In this age, men in politics come forward and tell what they want, and get it. Those who wait to be selected Just get the remnants The Illinois man who sees all kinds of catastrophes in 1911 may have a clear vision, but let us hope they are not to be our part. ‘The Boston Transcript gives notice that the Yale eight are In the water. 1t will not be so very long before they will be on the Thames. \The members who jumped over the McLean fence now say without even winking an eye: “Wise men change their minds, but fools never do.” Even the Portland Express gives notice that “people are beginning to worry about the outlook for ice and what it will sell for next season.” ‘When they talk of recalling Fitz- gerald under the Boston charter, so many, citizens laugh that the matter is smothered before it can be born. The Ohio man who swallowed a hundred dollars rather than give it to ieserves to be an unlocka- An appointment man as the quite as satisfactory which comes to a result of a deal is never as the honor which comes unsolicited in recogni- tion of ‘merit. ‘The honest milk jar is considered the noblest work of the Massachu- setts dairy commissioner, and this seems to label him as the noblest work of God. Happy thought for today Have vou realized that the things we once thought the most important to our welfare, and could not get, were really of no account at all. Dancing and Good Legislation. Governor-elect Johnson of California seems to be a bit of a Puritan. He has refused to allow an inaugural ball and explains the refusal by saying: “My administration is going to be a direct one and one for business, and I ¢ouldn't see that a socfal affair would help par- ticularly to make the laws of the land and to aid me in governing the state.” We are supposed to be the defenders of Puritanism, but we cannot see any casual connection between the restraint of dancing and good legislation. The young people of California will guite justified in asking Toby Belch's question of their new governor: “Because thou art virtuous, shall there be no cakes and ale” —The Congrega- tionalist. Would Make It a Bonanza. If Postmaster Hitchcock could only collect postage on the Congressional Record it would help redace the postal gfiflcn still remaining some. .. John Burroughs tells us “the King- ‘dom of Heaven is not a place but a perfect harmony, spiritual state in which God's children live on in love and use- fulness. But the state of mind which produces Heaven within here is essen- tial for life there. It is a state of mind which makes both life and home hell, and it Is the despoiler of Heaven. And the state of mind is right in our own hands, and it is by our excesses that we make It just the opposite from wht it was designed to be. The temperate man—the man is intemperate in nothing—is the superman who is ex- pected to inherit the earth by and by and when he does, conditions will be Teavenly. Some women have a husband on their hands while others just let their husba.ds know that he has a woman on his hands. Do not ask me which one is most successful in matrimony. “There Is a great insufficiency of ta along these lines. It would not| be popular to make notes. It is s that those who get the most out of life win. Some men are of the same temperament and disposition with ref- erence to the other side of the housa. It is a good house where bossing is not a habit, rights are well balanced, and there is no attempt to keep the family mindful that some one is in authority. Of the two evils, it is bet- ter to win by flattery than by decep- tion. , The woman who is & good cook has the best of all the family. The stomach that is satisfled just invites contentment. 1 like to look out on the brown flelds becguse of what they hold for me and for You. They are like a rough casket which contains many jewels. Who could picture them better than did Ruskin in his “Modern Painters,” when he said: “all spring and sum- | glis mer is in them—the walks by silent, scented paths—the rests in noonday heat—the joy of flocks and herds—the power of all shepherd Iife and medita- tion—the light of sunlight upcn the world, falling in emerald streaks and falling in blus shadows, where else it would have struck upon the damp world or scorching dust—pastures be- side the pacing brooks—soft banks and knolls of lowly hills—thymy slopes of down overlooked by the blue line of lifted dome with early dew, or smooth in evening warmth of barred sunshine dinted by happy feet, and softening in their fall the sound of living voices— all these are summed up in those simple words: the flelds.” It may seem strange to you that The Man Who Talks really envies those who understand the art of con- versing. Everybody makes a try of it, and only a few become conscious of what a mess they make of {t. There is_a great deal of talk that is only en- titied to be called “gab!” and I'm not going to define this kind, for it may look too much like my own attempts. A good talker always appears natural and says agreeable and edifying things. You know Queen Victoria al- ways complained of Gladstone because he spoke to her as if she were a pub- Hc meeting. and some people always address public functionaries in this same unnatural way. The chatty per- son who can say bright things as if they couldn’t help it—who have an easy way of adding joy to the average of living, are of great service to all with whom they associate. Blessed are those who cheer and leave merriment ‘behind them for hours and perhaps years after they have said goodbye. You have heard that the good die young, and nobody seems to regard this as a joke; but the real truth is that none of us live out one-half our days. We talk about natural deaths, when. there is no such thing among men, as all end their days soon or late as the result of bad mixing of foods and consequent chemical poisoning Metchinkoff tells us if we do not take care of our intestinal flora that it will surely make an end of us. It is more than probable that the world does not live one-half its days because it eats times too much. “After middle says a medical writer, “I make bold to say a man will do well and live longer on what seems to be an under- supply of food rather than an over- supply.” And this doctor says: “What I want to impress upon my readers s that a state of good health is largely 2 matter of choice and will power, ani that those who find themselves in bad health should sit down and consider serfously the reason why.” When the people see themselves aright the wast- ing of life will be less common. The world hears more of the ten commandments of Moses than of the “ten demandments of industry but the latter are quite as important. There isn’t room here to cite the whole ten, but T'll include five that are gems in ‘any place of industry: 1—Don't lie—it wastes my time and yours. I'm sure to catch you in the end. 2. Watch your work, not the clock. An honest day's work makes the heart cheery and keeps the bosses’ face looking pleasant» 3. Do moce than I expect of you and T'm likely to do more for you than you expezt. Profitabl business can af- ford to pay good wages. 4. You owe so much to yourself you cannot afford to owe anyone else. "Keep out of debt or else keep out of my employment. 5. It’'s none of my business what you do nights, but if your excesses affect your skill you will soon lose your em- ployment. You would not employ such @ man! These are not original with me—they come from the west, but are valuable enough for a Christmas card. | do not know what the readers of this column have resolved for 191l Resolutions written on paper are or lt- tle effect—resolutions impressed upon the heart are the ones that tell. How few of us think io enlarge our wor who grasp the thought that our world can be just as large as we want to make it.” The more we know of books, of nature, of countries, of scholars, of human experiences the broader our world will be, the more we may real- ize of the wonders and beauties of life. It may be of small account to know when icicles hang rigid here, lilies are swaying gracefully on the islands of the sea; that when we are ‘utting ice here they are cutting hay n Australia: that over asainst our 1 ing of snow to the far west are California’s fields of golden povpies. Bédautiful nature-pictures as well as word-pictures are refreshing to the mind. Mind enlurgement is world _enlargement—to know many beautiful things, is to. increase enjoy- ment. Let us as individuals enlarge our world this yea e people think that Ananiaswas the world's most famous Har and some people think Munchausen was, but I have my doubts. There have been liars ever since the day when Cain tried to beat the Lord by asking him: “Am I my brother's keeper?” and the classic imaginings of men are to be found in the myths of past ages. T am inclined to think that the finished liar is just as natural to this age as be | any that ever preceded it. I read of a deacon whose grandson, after having curiously eyed his bald pate for vears, Ventured to ask him how he lost his hair, and he devont look 2nd” said ; our grand- P was made bald by dear mother who, because of his good behavior, patted him on the head until the halr was all worn off.” Munchausen never excelled that; and Ananias hadn’s mind enough’to frame a story to so impress a child mind. Silence is & virtus only where si- little bit. Why haven't you told me more about them? And why can’t I :l;:yto I(E'Mol here at the west? And “There, there, little girl,” interrupt- ed her father, “one thing at a time. ‘1 was never a ready letter-writer, and neither was brother James, and we both have been busy .men. I came west to the mines]; luck was against me for a time, but now I have made my pile and can count dollars with Jim, if he is a Boston banker. I want you to be better educated than you can be here. If your mother had lived lt} 'w‘;ould be different,” he added with a sigh. “But, Dad, dear,” persisted Mar- cella, “why can’t I go to school in 'Frisco? Then I'd come home oftener. and you could come to see me. “No, my child, I am sure the other way 4s the best, though I hate to part with you, even for a year.” ™ Then Marcella changed to wheed- ng. “Now, then. Daddie, who will look after you? You know you can’t fix your tie or make yourself look nice without me. Who will ride over the ranch with you when I am gone; and who'll have your coffee ready when you come in tired at night? You can't do without me, I am sure,” and Marcella stooped to pat her father's broad shoulders and kiss the bald spot on his head, where he felt a tear drop with the kiss. “Don’t make it too hard for me, child; I am sure I am right, but you know it is hard for me to refuse you anything.” Finding argument and coaxing alike useless, Marcella set about her pre- parations for the journey sad at heart. Meanwhile, her advent was discussed in the Boston home, where the hous hold consisted of her Uncle James, his | wife and two daughters. “She may not take civilization read- fly at first,” wrote Marcella’s father, “she has known so little of it in her life on the ranch. I have tried to supply her with teachers, and you will not find her entirely igmorant of books, but the restraints of society will be hard for her.” = Mrs James Whitney readily con- sented to receive her husband’s niece, though she inwardly quaked with con- sternation at the prospect. She was| a gentle, refined woman, well-grounded | in all the established customs of her native city, and to her a breach of eti- quette seemed equal to a moral trans- gression; but for her husband's sake she would venture much. Of he; daughters not 3o much could be ex- pected. Margaret, the older, was much a favorite in spite of her haughty, re- served manner. The younger, Char- lotte, still in school, was nearer Mar- cella’s age. “How ightful!” she exclaimex “now 1 shall have company in my| walks to school. And I hope she will like us,” “The question in my mind,” said Margaret, “is, shall we like her. She will interfere swith our plans very; often, 1 fear. Youll find her a great| care, Mamma, and we shall soon wish her back on the western ranch. I confess I look upon her as an intrud- o “Well, Margaret, T am thunkful she is my age instead of yours,” interrupt- ed Charlotte, “for I am giad she is coming and mean she shall have a good time here. We kids will not get in_your way any more than we can help, . you may rest assured, and I know Papa wents her to come. He was taking to me about her last night.’ “Very well,” replied her sister with a scornful little laugh, *“if yéu and Papa have settled it, there is no more to be said.” On entering her home a few days later, Charlotte heard voices from the library, and hastened to greet her new-found cousin. She rushed into the room and made herself known by giving Marcella a genuine school-girl hug and kiss, saying at the same tima, “I am so glad you are here. We shall be great chums, I am sure. Papa has arranged for your entrance into Miss Hopper's as a day pupil, so we shail have lots o ftime to go about sight- seeing this winter.” Marcella hardly knew how to re- ipond to this hearty greeting, but man- aged to stammer out some reply. Truth to tell, she was overwhelmed with the strangeness of it all. Mrs. sought at society functioms, and was ' - pated much pleasure there. won all hearts in the household, ex- cept Margaret’s. Margaret repelled all Marcella’s friendliness, and the sensitive child keenly felt her “older cousin’s indifference. At the sea Mar- of-doors. Her father's gemerosity provided her a horse. Often she was accompanied on her rides by her uncle and Charlotte, :.\‘:’t“ tnmn often “Where did you learn to swim?” queried she. “I thought I could bea: you there, but you can hold out er in the waves than I can.” “Daddie and I spent a season NOwW and then at the Californian resorts, and he taught me to swim. I am stronger than you, I suppose, and that is why T can hold out better.” Then with a sigh, “Dear Dad, how I would ke to see him.” Their daily practice made them ven- turesome in the waves and they often out-distanced thefr companions. On one such occasion they f themselves quite beyond the merry group with whom they started, when suddenly they.heard a cry for help, and hurried back toward shore. As they approached, they saw the bath- ers surrounding one of their number who seemed exhausted. Some boals Were coming to tive rescue, but Mar- cella reached the tired swimmer before the boats arrived. It proved to be her coisin Margaret, who could swim but 11147+ As Marcella reached her, Mar- screamed again for help and ner arms about her cousin’s T Marcella found even her skill an S the but she managed to ieep head above water till the boats ar- rived. Then pausing for a momen rest, she saw to her dismay eall th rest had turned back to the beach. For a moment she feit a thrill of fea: She had always been so fearless in th. waves; could it be her strength woul: fail her now? Even then she coul not helieve it, and made no outery But some one had spied her from th. boats and soon she was .taken from the water just as she was sinking for the third time. Long and faithfullv they worked over her and at last they were rewarded by a deep-drawn sigh from her lips. Her narrow escape was followed b: a slow fever. She lay listless and ir- responsive to all efforts to rouse her, muttering only a word or two of her western life and of the long-missed father. Now, for the first time, her friends discovered how lonely she had been, and Margaret now learned how her harsh words had hurt the sensi- tive girl to whom she owed her life. One day awakening from a quiet siumber, Marcella saw her father sit- ting at her bedside. With a cry of joy she threw hersgif into his arm: h, Daddle, Daddie dear, I've wanted you so much; how glad I am! T'll_get well, now.” ' And she did. Soon she resumed her rides with Ier father for companion. Long they lingered at the beach after the rest of the family returned to the city. But at last they, too, found a home in the east, and Marcella was once more engrossed in her’ studies, supremely happy with her father and with her relatives, even Margaret no longer looking upon her as an intruder. AN IDLER. lence is appreciated. Silence may be as preclous as gold under some oir- cumstance: but silence where the wise word or the kindly word are needed is about as contemptuous as anything can be. The whole beauty and worth of silence rests upon one’s ability to know when and where to keep silent. A graven image—the Tgyptian Sphinx—represents concret- ed silence, and @ man may, if he wants to. This kind of silence would he ®good for a divorce; and promptly held as contempt of court. It is not cour- teous for a man to remain silent when it were better for him to speak, or chivalric for him to be silent when ad- dressed by a lady. Silence has already been lauded as being precious, but this depends upon the relation of si- lence to conditions. Silence where praise is due comes near producing the meanest man. SUNDAY MORNING TALK GOALS AND PATHS. Goals are exceilent things, particu- larly the year's beginning, but paths are important, too. There is the high mountain. What a Iovely view from the summit! My willing soul would soar thither, but I am encum- bered with hands, feet and body and my spirit must drag them along while T stay in this mortal tenement of- clay. So it becomes me to use my common sense and find a path which, perhaps, others have trodden before me, and which, even if it be steep and circuit- flords a far better chance to scale the height than an{ heroic but foolish attemp to break through the! wilderness alone would furnich. 1 e ] Tolstoi saw the goal, but he was not| an adept in path-making or path-find- | ing. His one passion was to cut loose | from all the trammels of civilization and go where he could, by himself, live the simple, and what was to him, | the only rational life. But other men with equally high ideals have felt compelled to adjust themselves more or less to the existing order, and they have gone along paths that revealed themselves as they went, only in part. Sufficient was it for them to see the track ahead for a single day's march. So these two types of men—called the fdealist and the opportunist—appear in all periods of history, and we need both—men like Francis of Assisi and Tolstoi cn the one hand, and men Mke Booker T. Washington on the other hand. If we have buc one type we could more easily dispense with the former, for it is better to have a goal! without any apparent path to it, than] | to ave a path leading nowhere.” It is forever true that man fives not by bread alons, but oy his visions and ideals, his hopes and strivings for the ideal, But why be limited to one or the other exclusively? Jfave your goals, keep them in view always, but be willing to take the time necessary in | to improve and widen the path, ‘¢ one | is already Wiich te find & patl. You want the tuf friendship of some person. Perhaps you as @ young man had conceived a fondness for a young woman—a per- fectly legitimate and honorable pas. sion, but one that in all probability cannot find satisfaction unless you, to some extent, fulfill the requirements of one wito niight t be reasonably ex- acting. So begin with the effort to tone up your own life, perhaps to be more careful about personal appear- ance, maybe to fight the bad habit that is growing on you, to quiet down if you are over boisterous, to brace up if you are sluggish and indolent. Only that kind of a fellow ought to attain the felicity arising from the bestowal of a true girl's love. So, too, in our in the family, the community, the church, we need definite objects far enough be- fore us and _high enough up | to spur us on. But we need also the power to take one step at a time, to make a path if none already exists, or in sight. Those who £o about big tasks, like the real improve- ment of a city, either in its artistic, its commercial or its moral side, wiil succeed ‘in proportion as they are willing to take time enough to pro- ceed carefully enough, and be sati fled with a little progress from day to day, and month to month. This all mesns willingness . and capacity to ople with an infinite number of small details, but thoroughness and patience at this point will bring the far-away goal a little nearer. You want to be a better man. Who does not, here at the year's beginning? And though you have resolved, and re-resolved, and failed and failed again, you are not quite willing to give up the fight. Clarify, then, your vision of the man you may be, but spend some time also in thinking about ways and means. Are you willing to walk in the paths others have taken to- ward winning the heights? That as- cending path in most cases leads! through the church, through compan- ionship with persons definitely com- mitted tb the moral and spiritual life, through the daily use of the Bible, and of that mighty force known as prayer. Consider these well-worn but never outworn ways of growth. So as you go on in the path prescribed you will be a vear hence closer to the goal of pure and high character.
