OPICGITV Fflw TJ-OI FAIM- EN'S STANDPOINT. ¥ The Bulletin commends to the a tention of ifs readers “The Farmer's™ lotter upon the proposed reciprocity treaty with Canada. While he is an able and loyal Granger, he does not Itke the way in which the National Grange officers have tried to commit the Oramge against the policy of the admimistration withont paying any at- tentien to tMose members who are in faver of the meighborly trade which sush & treaty will promete. The Farm- or takés a broad view of the matter and presents a few facts and Aigures Just to show seme of the advantages of this policy, which he interprets as likely tg prove beneficial to the great- est number. The Bulletin knows The Farmer has been a loyal repwblican and protec- tionist frem the start, and that he is now standing ‘what he helieves to be for the best interest of the repub- lican party and the country at large. He recognizes the right of every Gran- ger to take any position he sees fit upon the subject, but he is decidedly opposed to any misrepresentation of) the Grangers, or any political tacties to wheel them into line in a body against a wise policy from nurely self- ish purposes. 1t is an interesting letter and worthy perusal whether' one h tor or against attention to ' some facts importance. There is no disputing that in various wa; the country will be greatly benefited by the adeption of a more liberal pol- icy teward eéur neiglivor to the north of us LORIMER. There appears to be only one wise thing for Senator Lorimer to do, and that Is to resign. There appears to be no escaping: the latest revelations. The testimony of Mr. Funk and Edi- tor Kohlsaat that a fund of $100,000 was raised to elect him s direct and vositive. His case is likely to be re. opened in the United States senate and hé may not find another six to save his’ pelt. ‘Ten of the men who gAve Bim their support are ex-sena- teer. Conservative as New FEngland 18, looking at” the case now, sie sees thet the whitewashing of Lorimer was & great mistake which the sén- ate ought to undo to save itself from the imputation of n.erely pleading techmicalities against the aroused mor- al sense of the people. Even if a sec- ond invesMgation falls to bring heme bribery to.Lorimer himself, the rey- elations of methods and means spread before the country .last winter and amplified recently In Chicago should be sufficient. in the interest of purity of election, to force a declaration that his seat in the senate be declared vacant.

An English physician recently aston- 18hed his hearers by saying that clean- liness miight be next to godliness, but that good food was the foundation of health—that well-ted, dirty children enjoy good health, while cleanly, tin- derfed children de not. Listen to what m. doctor had to say with reference eeding children: ell-fed children would almost empty our hospitals, and would gdd a great many of our medical men to the list of the unemployed, Neverthe- Jess, it is ene thing to assert the un- - disputed importance of good feeding, Wat quite another te nsure that our mublic day ‘sehool children are prop- #ly nourishad. Somethinz is -being done by miving bréakfasts in sehool, but this only touches the subject. When parents of such children acquire @ better sense of their responsibilities in this all-important matter, and a Detter knowledge of how to utflise the ‘means at their disposal to the best Advantage for the physical; welfars of, their chifdren, we may hope to see a better state of things. In this our main hepe lies with the.mext géners- flon of parents, and we hope t the #ftortd which are now being' made in our scheols to instill a sound practical knowledge of cookery and domestic ecenomy in our ‘girls will bear fruit.” {1t is under-feeding and ting |- which is at the bottor ef nin tenths of the invalidiém of life, Wol = balanced rations and exercise rol life of half its aistress. b Lor- 1f Okiaboma really has’s “‘,o ?‘ to make P-nnnmnh enviots et S e " Mn whitewash is not fa roler.

Mast women think thn a man who ~with them is and some men recotnhet.hn it hkes 4 } a rather smart fellow to keep @ wom- an's” good opinion at such a cost. There is no reason why men and women should be at odds on intellect- 1 matters if they are mentally equal and dwell upon the same plane of receptivity. Receptivity is what makes people attentive in church and lack of it is quite likely what makes you yawn. Men and women keep too many of the shutters of.their menwutv closed, ducing mental atmosphere. no doubt that some cultivate an arti- fickal method of agreeing with others for social reasons, or as a matter of : but it does not develop the spirituality which-we are told #s a saving grace. Perhaps the man <who can impress the woman to see things as he does i the smnt,- est man. . once heard of a very wise school- mhn who upon being asked by a pupil a rather knotty question, re- puad- “If 1 knew, my boy, I could tel do not. know, it might tal me oOver half an hour to explain it to you, so I guess I bettor mot iry.” The trouble in this world of woes and weariness ie that too many people permit them- selves to tpy to explain things they know nothing aboot; and to waste a great _deal of time in doing it. A man who talks is very apt to do that ec- sionally; and I do not dare to divulge here who appear to make a good liv- ing by making it a professional at- tmcflon ‘The great’ Frenchman who first said the use of language was for concealment of thought only concreted in language that has long been a com- mon practice. The world really talks five times as much about what ft doesn’t know, as about what it does’ know. What do you suppose is the hardest stunt on earth for a man? Of course, there are a million of them, because most every man in employment thinks he has it; but as I have canvassed the fleld over it seems to me that the man who tries to prove he isn’t a fool might find the real thing. You know that in literature man is set down as a devil, a beast, a civic animal, a bundle of habits, a tool to buy and #ell, his own worst enemy, as vile, a stealer of the livery. of Heaven and a paradox; and after all of this, what success can he expect #. have in at- tempting fo prove that he isn’t a fool? There i8 no use of claiming that he is the dearest of all to God, for that only serves the more to show up his fool- ishness, since it shows he has a Friend he dishonors. This is a subject which it will do man most good to argue for himself, so we will waste no words: upon it, but let every reader wrestle with 1t for himself. A funny thing happened at an auc- tion sale the other day: and while such a thing may have happened be- fore, it is not of such frequency that it is remembered. A man dropped in- to a sale of jewelry to bid off an arti- cle he wanted and had made up his mind to buy. When it was put up he was the first one to bid; but he soon found there was another bidder pres- ent who was as determined as. he to get it and at every bid of his a woman's voice from the crowd raised the bid. He got his blood up, and the bidding went far heyond the real value of the ‘artiéle, and still the gentle voice in opposition raised the bid, until the price had climbed beyond all reason; but at last 1t was knocked down to him. When he reached home he was in a frame of mind: and his good wife asked him what the matter was. He told her of his experience when she said: “Why, I was there, and knowing how badiy you wanted that, T was determinéd you should have it if money could buy it; but I did not dare to bid any higher!” “This is the first time,” he says, “that Me ever knew Good Heart to make a bad mess” What the world fs/in need of is the creation of an atmosphere which leaves no doubt .of the brotherhood of man or the Fatherhood of God. There are a good many things in sight which some people think ounght to make a deep impression in this direc- tion; but they are not the real thing, The expression of kindliness toward one another is the thing which will make such an atmosphere and bring recognition of this great truth. Good- fellowship toward the trolley-car con- ductor, and ‘the factory-operative and the laborer alf counts to make real what ought to be a natural condition. 1t is by the spirit of the Lord we live, and breathe and have our being: and a grateful manifestation of this spirit would make of us a great and happy family. The joy in service and the joy in living ouzht to be constantly in evidence: and these two could not fail to produce conditions superior to any- thing the world has vet witnessed. This is the work of the individual and can only be accomplished by him. You know some people think that the rarest things are the best, though they are surrounded. with evi- dence that the commonest things are of most value, What is a rare pictura which cost a quarter of a milljon com- pared with a common smile which ‘puts a broadening ripple of humor in- to life? ¥f the man who bouzht this picture has not the eve to appreciate its merits, the poor man who has, can set more pleasure from it than the man whoe paid the price for exclusive ‘proprietorship which fans his conceit —and that is about all there is in it for him.
