WHAT THE POPULISTS STAND FOR. The year 1012 issto see populism re- vived. The call is out for the comven- tion, which is to be‘held at St. Louis next week, beginningron Tuesday. The dear old people’s party of thirty years ago is to reorganize and shout and hold ts banners aloft antl to call on the people to support its¢principles, which are: 1. Congress shall jssue all money wnd regulate the valuegand the volume. 2. The public land for actual set-! ers, The government to control the rallroads and those ~public utilities which Dby thelr nature are monope- 1. The all Protection of labor. This was radical doctrine once, but is tame now. What is being advo- cated now is to restope the rights of the people by doing away with all courts and authority and demand that the plain people shall live in houses and have butter on their bread. The populists are warned that the ull moose is abroad and that “this oracious animal has already stolen platforms of the democrats, the s, the anarchists, the Industrial s of the World and the Ca- morra,” and asked: “What chance s a mere populist when the bull oge is abroad?” initfative, referendum and Worker: WHO DISCOVERED TAFT? Too many Americans think Roose- velt not only discovered Taft, but made him: and they will be surprised to now that President Harrison recog- ed his ability and made him solici- tor general of the United States when he was only 33 years old; and,because f his conduct of this office he was made a United States circuit ‘judge in 892, When President McKinley cailed for the broadest minded man in America head the Philippine commission, Judge Day of Canton, Ohlo, told him B! Taft was the man for the place, and he resigned a judgeship to per- form this patrfotic duty for the gov- ernment, Colonel Roosevelt, at a later day declared, at great personal sacri- fice, when he declined an appointment upon the bench of ‘the supreme court of the United States because he felt he was needed to promote government in- terests in the Philippines, of which he was the first governor. Willlam Howard Taft came to Roosevelt as one of the most dependa- ble and able men in the McKinley ad- ministration and after seven years of service and association with the Col- onel, impressed him so well he would ommend no other man as his succes- sor in 1908, No man could speak higher of an- her than Roosevelt has repeatedly ne of “Bill” Taft, and he said: “Of the men in this union he was the man pre-eminently fit in the point of prightness and character, of fearless nd aggressive honesty, and of fitn for championing the rights of the peo- s a whole to be president.” President Taft stood appreciated and ised through four administrations has three limes declined an ap- pointment upos the supreme court ench that he might patriotically serve s country.

The ery for cheap living is intense, but cheaper living means increasing the buying power of the dollar and this in turn means a proportional reduction in wage rates. To make manufacture or production profitable the wage rate has ta be in true relation to it. The high cost of living is a condition which can be borne when work is plenty, better than cheapness can be borne with no demand for labor and idieness indefinite. What it is pro- posed to do means that the economic policy of the government is to be changed, which will for a time upset manufacture and destroy confidence and put labor into enforced idleness, as it did when Cleveland was president and. things became cheap and the buy- ing power of the dollar was in some cases quadrupled, and labor was in 1o demand and thrifty workmen spent vtheir surplus to live and those who live day by day or hand to mouth were beggared. This 18 a true picture of the real effect of changing governmental poli- cies and coming down to a cheaper plane, It is up to labor to look up these matters—to think hard in its own ifi- terests—for adversity imposed through unintelligent action is hard to bear. HISTORY WILL REPEAT ITSELF. “Hawleyton post, ® A. R., of Bing- hamton is now only & memory,” says the New Haven Times-Leader. “Every individual of its membership of 50 has responded to the final roll call and only records attest the existence of this particular branch of the Grand Army of the Republic. This will be a frequent story. The vanks of the once large army are dwiwdling in startling fashion. But even when every mem- ber of this unique and honorable or- ganization has passed to the great beyond, their deeds will live. History will recount the deeds of heroism and self-sacrifice. The world is today a better place to live in because these men fought for its people.” The Leader’s comments are too true. Time .makes an end of our bravest and noblest citizens; but it does not so quickly stop the slanderous and un- patriotic spirit of those who have dis- honored themselves and their country. No Grand Army men wince before the wicked slanders wkich have followed them since they stood solid for the honor and perpetuation of one repub- lic from shore to shore, and taught the lessons of patriotism and fidelity to the flag which will be of value long after the roll call has been finished and a thousand post records tell the story of their love of country, their eivie service, their broad charity, theit democratic comradeship, their wreaths for the dead and warm hearts for the living. These posts will disappear one by one like the cobwebs on the grass on a summer day, but the spirit which they represented must live on, or the republic they saved will surely perish. WHAT I8 CHAMPAGNE? It is not so long since the govern- ment had a serious time determining what whiskey was. Dr. Wiley found that it was more things than could be put on the label or that could be readily classified. In time the gov- ernment got whiskey under control for purposes of honest taxation, much to the vexation of those who had made it otherwise. The federal authorities recently seized six es of wine made in San- dusky, Ohio, on the ground that to label any American-made wine cham- pagne is a violation of the pure food and drug act; and an assistant district attorney from St. Louis is now on his way east to learn what champagne is. He has no easy task upon his hands, and it might be much easier to dis- cover what champagne isn't. s been shid that most of the imported champagne is American cider which has journeyed to France, been given a larger per cent. of alcohol, a new sparkle and a new bead and sold for genuine champagne on its return to America. Since there is not half enough champagne produced to supply the de- mand of France alone, it is safe to conclude that champagne in America is something else masquerading under a genuine label. If this disirict attorney takes time enough he may get champagne defined and classified so it is possible to tax it. EDITORIAL NOTES. When Roosevelt used to read the riot act to congress it used to be amused by it. The Colonel didn’t get into the politi- cal swim by the primary route; but he got there. President Taft does mot propose to swing around the circle to save him- self or his party. Happy thought for tpday. not take a person long to they think of you It tell does what Dr. Wilson has never had a demo- cratic congress on his hands. That's how Cleveland lost his grip. It costs the consumers of New York $150,000,000 a year to have their food landed at the kitchen door. What's the matter with Kansas? It's the one state that is making a monkey of the republigan party. Beveridge feels sure the bull moose party has rigen straight from the grass roots. It promises to go to grass. coR e ] The progressive party’s platform is eclectic——it is made from sclect tions of all platform of recent Legally elected negro delegates were | refused recognition by the bull moose convention—they were from Missis- sippl. The Colonel names Mr. Bird as the progressive candidate for governor of Massachusetts.

Why not swat every whim and every megrim and establish a cheery heart and an assuring mind? You create your world, and if you get too many queernesses into your life you come pretty near being anathema. It is up to every one of us to be some- thing better than that. Perhaps you have never interested yourself in the wonderful life of plants —do not realize how they may be maimed and multiplied—how they will fight for life. Just now cuttings are being taken from a great many plants and rooted. We think it is wonderful that a crippled lobster can grow a new claw, but it is no stranger than that an amputated geranium may be stuck into the ground and make new roots, and become an individual plant. You may have a pink bed and not gense what a miracle of life there is in that. There are five ways to increase the pinks—by cuttings, slips, piping, layer- ing and by a division of the roots. A slip is a stem pulled out with a little of the root or heel; a cutting is made from shoots that have not bloomed; pivings are shoots pincheq off at the base joint; you know what layering is, for thia is the common method of in- creasing rose bushes and grape vines. It is wonderful life—divine life—aif- ferent from our own, but just as mar- velous. It is informing to know the ways of plants, and the ways of God, for He is in all His works. What a way we have of sizing up folks, and how freely and openly we do I remember starting out one cold winter day resolved to buy a fur cap at an expense of seven dollars or more, if necessary. I went to a store where I was not accustomed to trade at because I knew the salesman; and he was mighty gladq to see me. When I told him I wanted a winter cap he sald he had one that would just suit me, and brought forth a pilot cloth cap which did fit. I asked the price and he said “75 cents,” and off I went with $5.75' in my pocket which I was in- clined to leave in that store. It woul have been better for him to have in- quired the style and quality of goods 1 was looking for than to have been so cocksture of his knowledge of my tastes and needs, or my ability to pay. As a plunge for economy it was great, but no proprietor would regard it as good business. This salesman is not alone, for lots of clerks are not careful enough to see what the customer is looking for. It is a good rule for clerks to assume nothing. | wonder whether we shine most at | home or away from home. You know some people think that good manners were designed for company use, and to please strangers. Of course, this is a misconception, since there is no place they fit so nicely as they do the home. Those who are always polite in the family make a deep impression, and the mannerly habit clings to them so that it seems natural and leaves no room for contrasts. It is a pity so few people are seen at their best in their own homes, and that their real fine qualities have to be learned from oth- ers. Some people carry every grouch home to share with the family instead of the smiles they waste on unappreci- ative people, just as some men buy cheap candy for their wives and choice candy for their ldeals—we all know how it is, if we do not practice it. But it seems to me home is a good place to have everything in that is sweet, and to kick everything that is sour out of. It seems to me that the grapevine beetle has a flight more readily to be imitated by man than the fight of any of the birds. All hard-shelled beetles in their flight combine the parachute with their gauze wings, and they sai] through the foliage and over the shrubs with the grace of move- ment of a dirigible balloon driven by motors. The wing covers extended are a perfect parachute and apparently help sustain the weight of the insect as well as to balance it. The design does not appear to be so much for speed as for safety, and it fills the The whole movement appears to be steady and reliable. The big bug setties on a light leaf like a steamer docking. There is in the performance precision, order and assurance. It is in moderate flight they make their best appearance—when fiying low. On the morning of July 28th a feath- ered chorister attracted my attention —a star of the spring cholr, who for some reason found pleasure in eon- tinuing his song.

There is no reason why there should be war made on big business or big labor combinations. Peace between them spells prosperity Olife James told Dr. Wilson when he addressed him that “Roosevelt has no show.” He doesn’t recognize a cir- cus when it in sight. Wilson, if elected, will tackle the downward revision of the tariff at once. That will please those who de- sire to knock out New England!

Only a short time before the air had been so pure and fragrant with the perfume of the near-by honeysuckle vine, it was surely disagreeable to ex- change it for the pungent, overpow- ering smell from the street-dressing. How, I should like to know, 1s my pet humming bird, a daily visitor to the honeysuckle, to know where to find his breakfast? That long bill of his is plunged deep into each fragrant cup until the entire vine has been rifled of its sweets. But they tell us the re- pulsive odor from the street is not an unhealthy smell, and that the mix- ture is used for good reasons and for the best good of all, and that it is sel- fish to make any such matter a grieyance. Prejudices, we are assured, make people forgetful of the rights and pleasures of others. That last state- ment I beg leave to contradict, for my friend and life-long acquaintance, Mrs. ‘Woodbury, was a person of strong | prejudices, and not a selfish thread in her entire make-up. Her pre-con- ceived opinions on prejudices, if you will, were always such as resulted in a kindness done to some one else less favored than herself. terthled ve a prejudic against baker's | she would say, “so I've brought | you some of my own, which I made | this morning.” “Don’t you like home- mede pickles?

She was always accusing herself of | being governed by her likes and dis- | likes ,and considered herself unrea- | sonable in that respect, but declared she couldn’t help it and that she was | too old to change. Her niece, Madeline Noyes, who lived with her, declared that she thought her aunt needed no change in that direction, and the lady’s many friends fully agreed with Made- line. Madeline had been brought to her present home when a mere infant, and there she had remained. All her life had been shielded from hardship and surrounded with all things desirable for her happiness, and had developed into a charming young woman, well- educated and devoted to the aunt whose loving care had provided for | her during all these years.

And g0 it proved. The young man who won Madeline’s heart and hand was one who met the approval of her relatives, and all went smoothly for once with love's young dream. “For- tunate for him,” was the laughing re- mark, “that he met Mrs. Woodbury's requirements, for it would have been Jamentable if she had taken a preju- dice against him.” “After all,” said one who had known her for vears, “her talk of prejudice amounts to very little, for I never saw a more unselfish, unprejudiced wo- man than she is. She is always doing some kindness to some one, and atill, whimsical old woman, bent only on an~ nouncing and gratifying her own whims.

She is not prejudiced as am, and can more readily adapt her- self to circumstances. Mr: Woodbury prejudices ac- companied her through life, and every more and more. They led her into many lines of charitable work among the poor and particularly won her favor, and she was a frequent vieitor and generous patron to them all. The only things he refused to tolerate and for which she seemed to hold a severe opinion were women's clubs and women In politics. Upon these she turned her viols of wrath, so far as her peaceful nature allowed.

A bird loving friend eald it might be the purple finch, which does not take on the red poll until it is two or three years old; and another acquaintance said it was probably a maturing lin- net which hadn't reached the color age. Since then the friends have agreed, since linnets were seen and heard singing in several localities in the vicinity, that it was a red poll Strange as it may seem, this is the first one I have seen in Connecticut. A half century ago they used to be caught and sold for cage birds and were good singers in captivity, but the law prohibits now the keeping in cap- tivity of the bobolink, goldfinch a linnets.

Mr. Roosevelt's “bully for vou!" manner takes the crowd admirably at eleotion time. But it did him harm when he was at the White House, and treated distinguished men light-heart- edly to back-slapping and nick names. The German ambassador, Baron Speck von Stef did not mind being called “Specky” in private (relates the Daily Chronicle); but there was con siderable irritation in Germany when Mr. Rooseveit was not careful to re« serve such familiarity for intimate oc- casions.
