The prejudice against Taft because of the terms of the treaty of reciproc- ity with Canada is dying out in the west. While the country is as silent as death just now upon this question, which was so near a paramount issue that it captured Roosevelt, who finally slid away from it by saying that when he endorsed it he did not understand the question. President Taft has neither retreated nor apologized, but simply feels that he did his duty as chief executive. Now the Des Moines Capital, which has al- ways been opposel to reeiprocity in any form, tells its readers that it re- gards President Taft as “the smoker out of reciprocity,” for he gave the people a chance to kill it. The people were demanding reciprocity with Can-~ ada and the legislatures of several New Fngland states had endorsed it, and here in New England the press of all parties was largely for It. The presi- dent met public opinion like a man, and with a view of theapening the price of lumber and other things urged congress to approve the treaty, and it dd. Canada declined to emnter into the agreement, and those who do not consider the pressure of public opinion and the duty of the chief executive, are holding him responsibie and still breathing vengeance against him as if §t was a personal instead of a national matter. 3 Says The Capital: “Less than four ago there was an insane demand r reciprocity. Men were loud- about reciprocity, who did not know the meaning of the word. Many men who had been protectionists were heard to say that they were protec- tionists, but, like Blaine, they were in favor of reciprocity. The martyr Mec- Kinley was quoted in favor of reci- procity. None of these things charac- terize public debate at the present me. Neither the republican nor the ocratic platform demands any kind reciprocity. Readers of The Capi- El will remember that we have always nounced reciprocity ,in whatever Muse or name proposed, as a sham, Wther understood or misunderstood. Ne have always called it a cheat. If ur government made a smart trade md beat the other country to it, the Jther country would go back on it as n as the discovery was made. Our ::nu'y would do the same thing. Seo what could have been accomplished? “Reciprocity could not live in public febate. It died a natural death. It rished under the axe of common in- 1ligence. “Therefore we must give President Faft credit for smoking reciprocity yut and giving the people a chance to ¥ e WHERE ROOSEVELT MUST SOFT- PEDAL. The fact that Mr, Rooseveit is going Yo split the solid south in two is pleas- g to every one but the followers of \he democratic standard; and he is yearching for a broad-minded southern Yemocrat who has edge to do it with in ihe office of vice president, without any mmediate prospect of finding him. The southern republicans have their blood stirred and they want to know If the Colonel proposes to wine and fine the colored gentry, or is going to take a white man's position on the tolor question. We glean this from the Charleston News and Courfer: It has been observed that in several states, such as Virginia, Mississippi end Texas, the bull moose organizers have declared that they will not re- ceive the colored brother into their midst. In some of these states the col- ored brother has announced that he will run a bull moose party of his own. That must be exceedingly embarras- sing to the statesman who made a feature of the announcement, while he was president, that the ‘door of hope’ should not be shut in the colored bro- ther's face."” Frogm Birmingham, Ala., the follow- ing despatch was sent out: “Two complete delegations will 0 from Alabama to the third party L‘ofi- ventfon in Chicago, beginning August 6. Failing to gain recognition in the regular state convention, held here to- dar, the negro progressive republicans met tonight and eiected a full contest- 1tion.” Juthern commenter on this means that the bull moose party must meet the racial issue at Chicago. elt must ored brother in politics or put himself at odds with the great majority of his followers who are voters in the south- It means that Colonel Roose- either go back on his col- ern states, including the southern Roosevelt republican leaders, who, like Cecll Lyon, of Texas, fought for him, tooth and nail, against Taft in the reg- ular republican convention last month,” With this condition in the south and the conflicting state platforms it is evident enough that the Colonel will have to do some soft pedalling or there is going to he a stormy time at his Chieago convention. The Rev. 8. G. Ohman of New Brit- ain says he was made a delegate to the il moose convention without being consulted, and fhat he is not affiliated with the Roosevelt party. A woman on the car said: *Tf wo- men acted as much lika fools as the men do on occaslons, they would all be locked up!” Perhaps she was a spiaster.

The champlon Roosevelt man of Ver- mont declines to go over to the enemy, but he followed the Colonel at San Juan hill and shouted for him at every turn Gintll he turned down the repub- {.lcl;n party—then Mr. Batchelder wired “I am shocked! For more than four months, I, who am a poor man with a wife and, two little boys to support, have worked literally night and day, ‘without fear, favor, or hope of reward, for the ‘progressive’ cause and have believed that you were that cause per- sonified. I have neglected my busi- ness, earned no money, and am many dollars poorer than I was that evening last March when I dined with you at Oyster Bay, after being summoned there by you. *** I wasa member of your regiment in 1908. For fourteen years I. have felt more affection for you than for any other members of my own immediate family. It is a ter- rible wrench, Colonel. * * * With a grief the depths of which rou can not know * * * I have decided that I cannot longer support you for presi- dent of the United State: Deponent saith not whether the Col- onel gleefully shouted on its receipt: “A dbully good thing!” or not. The let- ter shows this champlon “progressive” 1s not a blind follower to the last ditch —that he can be a progressive without being a renegade. THE AUTHORITIES AWAKE. ‘Waterbury is the only New England city that will tolerate an immoral and muckraking publication, and it is a sign of a new awakening for the au- thorities to declare that they will stop it if they have to arrest the editor and his staff every week. The Waterbury Republican calls at- tention to the law against the printing of such nauseating matter and declares that every issue of these. slanderous and blackmailing sheets is a breach of the peace. It will be queer if there isn’t stamina enough in Connecticut to make an end of papers of this character. The old Life in Boston and The Police Gazette were well intrenched and made a great fight for existence, but they had to go. The Republican well says: “Anybody who believes that the best way to handle the journalism of Smut- Slime-and-Slander is to treat it with silent contempt should step to the rear, This silent contempt business has been tried for twenfy-five years, and see the result, Fighting men are wanted to step to the front, and help bammer IT lifeless. The way to kill IT I8 to treat IT the way IT treats its luckless victims—hit at IT continu- ously and strike IT with the heavy arm of the law, week after week, until the job is finished. “Let’s hit IT fair but hit IT straight and fast and bard and often until the end comes. Step to the front and hold up the hands of the prosecuting attor- neys. They want your encouragement and support.” The men who print such papers are alive to their offence, and always man- ifest a spirit of deflance. They allege that prosecution is persecution and a good advertisement for them. A per- sistent enforcement of the law will take this out of them. There is no place in the 20th century for this foul and filthy work of scavengering the state.for the money there is in it. Slan- der and blackmail are both crimes and the law should be persistently invoked against such = publications, wherever printed. THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE FOR 1912 No true republican has to apologize for supporting republican principles or President Taft in 1912 The president struck the keynote of the campaign in his address of accept- ance of the nomination on Thursday, when he said the republican party stood for the maintenance of the con- stitution of the United States, unim- paired, and to preserve the integrity of the courts. The wave of radicalism which makes Debs look llke a conservative and which leads away from orderly govern- ment to mob rule is really something unprecedented in the history of the republic; but the people are alert and there is no danger that a majority will endorse the erratic course of a popular Ppolitical leader. President Taft has a proud record, and he dodges no issues. What he says may be relied upon. Here is one of his pledges: “The American people may rest as- sured that should the republican party be restored to power in all legislative branches, all the schedules in the pres- ent tariff of which complaint is made will be subjected to investigation and report by a caempetent and impartial tariff board, and to the reduction or change which may be necessary to square the rates with the facts.” President Taft, when declining to invade Mexico or Cuba, was not blind to the political opportunity of these situations, for he says: “It is easy to cultivate political support and pop- ularity by a warlike and truculent pol- but, with the familiarity that we have had in the carrying on of such a war in the Philippines and in Cuba, no one with a sense of responsibility to the American People would involve them in the almost unending burden and thankless task of enforcing peace upon those 15,000,000 of people fight- ing among themselves, when they would necessarily all turn against us at the first manifestation of our pur- pose to intervene.” President Taft is true to himself and his trust and begs no question. What he stands for, the American peo- ple cannot afford to throw down. EDITORIAL NOTES. The queer thing about politics is that it doesn't allow parties to speak well of one another. A person has to be about 50 years old before he thinks he knows how to cure the rheumatism. No dark horse will figure at the next Chicago convention! but “the darkey will come in for a status, ‘When it comes to glaring at facts and trying to cough them out of sight the Colonel takes the palm.

C, property ralsed, Few capitallsts THE MAN WEO TALKS a young man earns in the goes into his pocket, but what he spends in the evening goes imto his character.” How yould you interpret this? The bane J:d the blessings of life depend upon what use we make of our money, or through the use of it, make of ourselves. We are simply an expression of our thoughts and our aets, an@l in keeping with our feelings and perceptions we make sour invest- ments. Money does not make our character, but the way we use money does. A good use of money exalts the spirit—a bad use of it debases the soul. Money enables us to show what pos- sesses us, by what we seek to pos- sess. If we sensed this more deeply we should be more careful about the investments we make. Dr. Cuyler's averment is true; work fills the wal- let, but conduct gives the true meas- ure of the individual When we learn that what is going on within us is of as much importance as what is going pn without ourselves we are getting a' true grip upon life. ‘When we can rule our spirit we shall the better understand why our neigh- bor cannot rule hi Our whole life ‘hag its foundation in our own mind, and we can make it what we will. All which goes to make life worth living goes from the within out. AIl that happens to make life uncomfortable comes from without to agitate the within, and we let it. We cannot es- cape the comsequences of our own heedlessness and dullness in this di- rection. Too many people are dead to their own power to protect them- selves—blind fo their own duty with regard to their own spirit, Too many people are on bad terms with them- selves, when they should be on the best of terms with their own ego. They make a mess of life because they do not understand themselves or - their relations to others. Know thyself! of modern farmer it does not seem as if beholds the well kept acres there ever could have been a time when man was a stroller on the earth, a gleaner in God's wild gardens like other. creatures, a robber of birds’ nests for the eggs, leading a vagrant and uncertain life; and he kept it up long after he had trained the animals to serve him. He has been here on earth so long he cannot tell where man was originally located or with any certainty locate the Garden of Eden which is alleged to have partaken of the atmosphere and ease of heaven. The organization of towns, provinces, states and countries for his protection bears evidence of the savageness and perils of the wandering tribes in their early days, Man's career from the cave to the palace represents harsh experiences and wonderful develop- ments. Man in thought has attained heavenly wisdom, but he fails to grasp and make practical the power of God as expressed in love and meroy. Do not let yourself become touchy. There isn't half being done in the famlly or neighborhood to irritate you that you imagine there is. Half of the world’s noises and annoyances are ac- cidental, and most of the other half are not made with wilful intent to dis- turb you. It is the thought that things are done to annoy you, ,or with an open disregard of your feelings, which irritates and agitates you and wrecks your nerves. While you imagine others are doing this mischief, yon are do- ing it yourself. Self-persecution— senseless persecution at that—is all too *common. If you will give up thinking things are done to annoy, you en they are not, you will find comfOrt where you now realize only discomfort. Do not expect fclks to live by yoursrules, for they have all they can do to live by their own. Do not make a grievance of conduct over which you have no control, for it does not pay. Just let the outside world wag as it will, and resolve you'll be gay and happy still. | like the catbird because of his ability to Imitate the sounds he hears. He mocks and scolds and jeers like his cousin, the ‘mocking bird; and if he cannot, like his cousin, cheep like a little chicken in distress, or whistle like the neighbor's boy, he can ap- proach the noise of a wheel calling for grease and imitate the mew of a cat. He is sleek and graceful in movemeni and displays a liking for human com- pany, and at times manifests a friend- ly spirit. He comes year after year like the robin; and we get to regard- ing him as an old friend. He likes to hector the cat; and it takes her some time to understand him; but he knows her well enough not to put himself in the way of becoming an agreeable morsel for her. The catbird seems to be controlled by a spirit of humor and sarcasm, and might be called the jester of the garden which he inhab- its. He can sing a pleasing song, and when he lets loose the true music of his heart we feel like applauding him. He is usually unpopular with people who have nerves and are disturbed by unusual sounds. A writer about dogs says: ‘It is so easy to ck a dog; he doesn't take it to heart; he is used to it; it belongs to the lot of a dog.” Does it? Where, think you, does the writer get author- ity for any such declaration as this It is not dog fanciers and keepers who endorse it, for their sentiment is: “Love me—Ilove my dog!” The best trained animals are the resplt of kind- ness, patience and persistent teach- ing. It is a brutal error to think any animal can get used to abuse any better than man. A cross word spoken to a highbred horse, Rarey noted, in- creased his pulse beats four a minute. A cross word from the master of a faithful dog will make him sulk for hours unless the more pleasing word will follow him along that line of re- form, There are goats in all political par- ties.

Not if he dis- closes a change of heart since he wrote that book. It does not make Taft look like a back number to us because he does mot think he is the only bright and shining star! One reason men de not care to see women\in politics is pecause they like to meet some one once in a while who ceems to be sane. The color issue at the south is apt to creep into the Chicago convention. Duplicate sets of delegates are booked to appear there.

The Quail Trap, August 1, 1912.— Have we outgrown egg collecting and checked indiscriminate shooting, only to have a new and serious menace to New England birdlife? After the gen- ergl spring spraying of fruit and shade trees, do not our feathered friends carry infected grubs to their nestlings and so poison scores of young birds, In short, in our present. ways and means to have fairer apples, are we not destroying the natural protectors of our orchards? Not owing wholly to the modern use of insecticides, there have been fewer birds in Woodstock than recorded for 12 years. The defi- cit is not conflned to wormeaters— the loss 1s seen and heard all along the line. About half as many robins as tsual passed through here during the spring migration. While six pairs nested in our house lot in 1811, not a single pair | were raised here in 1912, Last year we counted thirteen robins eating our white cherries at one time, but this year three is the biggest bunch we have seen on the trees, is spoken. Dogs were never mean enough to harbor grudges and pilot vengeance—that belongs to men of low type. The dog never boasts that he has a good memory for base pur- poses—a dog forgets and often re- turns good for evil, The dog Is capa ble of teaching man a few profitable lessons. I catch myself wondering how good the world is! How good do you think it 18?7 Judging by the talk it is Chris- tian; but from the armaments of the nations it doesn't look that way. The Master taught that Love was the di- rect way to peace—the Christlan na- tions say by their acts the only as- surance of peace Is complete prepara- tion for war, All that keeps these na- tions respectful to one another Is their financial and numerical strength, their ability to fight, anq their dread of war, As Exhibit A of the world's prog- ress in honesty and honor in two thou- sand years this does not look goed to me. I am Inclined to think the weorld ought te have done better, The love of gold and power as manifested in .government s greater than the love of God and fellow man, The age of eén- quest is not ended—the savage has not declareq allegiance to the Prince of Peace; but the time 1s surely coming when man will honor the laws of being ang recognize the value of the laws of God. I will represents responsiveness and firmness; and the value of it depends upon what you will. If you will for good the result is always praisewor- thy. There are too many audible I wills and I won'ts, and too few in- audible I wills and I won'ts which tend to strengthen and elevate the human soul. Resolution of the right quality needs be practiced for as much ag tone and time on any musical in- strument. It is not the dead who suc- ceed in life, but the active—those who develop power by true mental pro- cesses. It doesn't pay to be indolent —the mind must be exercised to make it alert and to strengthen the under- standing and the perception, To keep the physical and the mental well bal- anced it is necessary to will right and do right with persistenc SUNDAY MORNING TALK THE PERIL OF SNAPSHOOTING. It is not an interesting picture but I am going to hang it on the wall as a likeness of Jepson. My excellent friend does ‘not grin like that as a rule; neither is he usually eating watermelon. Moreover it is only two or three times a year that he is to be observed in a bathing suit. The cam- era merely caught him in a moment of vacation hilarity. He who imagines he sees the usual Jepson in this amusing snapshot Is sorely mistaken. Instantaneous views are likely to be misleading. Graceful athletes, whose motions seem poetry itself to the spectator, are caught by the sensitive plate in awkward and clumsy atti- tudes. Good looking people may ap- pear positively ugly when the camera takes them in some grimace. The shutter clicks on postures that are characteristic and on some that are not. No kodak is under bonds to tell the whole truth. Snap judgments of our fellow men are just as likely to be misleading. How often one is forced to alter opinions that have been made hastily! First impressions are frequently wrong ones, offhand verdicts need revision later. Think of these things as you meet new people this summer. Beware of prejudices that rest merely on some observed pecullarity of speech or manner. It Is not safe to set a man down as mumbsekull whose dress or conversation may not at once please your taste. On closer acquaintance his brain may prove as brilllant as his hat band. The apparently flighty girl may possess abundance both of mental and moral stamina. It is necessary to llve with people more than 16 seconds redlly to understand them. Multitudes do not show at their best in the process | of being introduced. And, on the oth- ! er hand, many meke a first impression ward. In either case it Is wise to sus- pend judgment till time has proved of what quality a nature really is. ‘When one shows you his snapshot of another survey it with interest but do not straightway accept It «for a finished photograph. It may simply depict some unnatural pose. Not once perhaps in a hundred times would the vietim be caught in that particular mental or moral attitude.
