Reputlican Party Will Gain New Vitality DESERTERS WILL RETURN But When They Do Let Them Bring Forth “Works Meet for Repen tance”—Republicans Have Made the Grandeur of the Country for Sixty Years. ‘ The address of President Taft to the Beverly Republican Cluby, Beverly, Mass., Sept. 3, was as follows: Gentlemen of the Beverly Republi can club and, I am glad to say, my fel low citizens of Beverly, I thank you for this cordial greeting. This club suggests one or two thoughts of a po litical character that I did not touch upon in the remarks I addressed to you on Saturday. It suggests the ne cessity for renewed organization of the Republican party under present condi tions. The Republican party has been successful for many years. I think the last national defeat we suffered was in 1892, and that is twenty years ago. We have reached a point where it was natural that there should be some gentlemen who were convinced that their position in the party was not all that they thought they were entitled to and therefore they were in favor of sloughing off into a third party. Now, the danger in the continuance in power for a long time; to the party itself is the jealoubies, the factions, the quarrels within the party that long life and success are apt to generate, and, while, of course, a third party is a misfortune to the Republican party in the loss of some votes, we must be philosophical and look at this result on its good side as well as on its bad side. I conceive in respect of the life of the Republican party that secession of a third party is going to give us new vitality in the very feeling of fight that the injustice of the claims of the third party will arouse in us as real Republicans. We know that we are a better set of men than we are now called by those who were very glad at one time to be known as leading Re publicans. We know that we stand in the nation as the guardian of those institutions of civil liberty under our constitution, the preservation of which has made this nation permanent and great, and that nothing could come to this country of greater political in jury than such a split in the Republi can party as would destroy it. The importance of this campaign in its immediate result is great. I could hardly state with more emphasis than 1 really believe the crisis that we now face with reference to the continuance of prosperity in this country by reason of the vote that we are to have in No vember, but there is something be yond November with respect to the Republican party. It is essential that we should continue and revitalize it as a permanent party and a permanent force in this nation for the continu ance of the progress that has made it great. No student of history can dery that the grandeur of this nation and the height that it has reached among nations during the last sixty years has been due to the guidance and the force and the energy and enterprise of the Republican party. We propose to have that continue. We propose that the force represented by the Republican party shal’ continue useful in the his tory of this nation. With that in mind, I would urge upon you the necessity for closing up the ranks, finding out who is a Republican, and who is not, and. when you find a man who is not, do not count him for the party. One who is not loyal never helps. i There is no use, gentlemen, tempor izing about this matter. A man is a Republican or he is not. Is he going to support the national ticket, and is he going to support the State ticket? If he is he is a Republican, and if he is not he is not a Republican. Now, such a policy may cost us some votes, but in the not distant future these gentle men who have deserted us in the hope of enjoying office, on the one hand, or a millennium, on the other, will find themselves without office, millennium or party. They will feel a bit lonely, and then when they come back to the Republican party, as they will come back, let them come back as Republi cans, but bringing forth works meet for repentance. iTS o S e S SR B R <STARROIA s i ] R R AT O T AR .‘,;x?\r-!‘h:‘ N BRI NN AR IR G SRR R S ”i 3 et ‘t‘ S \av;:\.i',:':)\.*\ S LRI, i 5 RREE S € B TRREREI AST ST P PR & W ?:‘fi:a::,.ug\,: (!

One lady heie upon opening a pureau drawer, was terrified to tind what seemed to her a monster snake coiled up init. She had sufficient forethought to shut the drawer and, running to the tele phone, called for her doctor to come and chloroform it. He, how ever, ¢id not scem to think it ex actly in his province and suggest ed calling a negro man to kill it. When it was dispatched it was found to be only a harmless rat suake. Another lady was horror stricken at seeing the head of a snake poked up between the bricks of the hearth just in the act of seizing & mouse. A negro woman was frightened almost out of her wvits a few evenings ago while sit ting on her steps by a snake fail ing from a tree on the step at her foot. These ratsnakes are said to be very useful in exterminating rats and also perfectly harmless, but it would be hard to find any woman who would be willing to have one around the house in the place of a cat, as his been suggest ed. When You Set Out Shade Trees It is not dasirable to plant trees in a straight line unless they are planted on the sides of a straight walk or road. It is monotonous and tiresome to see the trees on the grounds 1n straight rows, However, it is sometimes necessary to plant them in straight rows. When this is necessary the monc tony may be more or lcssbrokefi by planting groups of trees and shrubs a short distance from the straight row of trees. Try to arrange the trees, shrubs, etc., on the grounds in such a wey that all parts of the grounds can not be seen at one time. Of course this cannot be done on small grounds, but there is no reason why the grounds of a farm home should be small.—lL,, A, Niven, in The Progressive Farmer. Astor Inheritance Tax Paid; Totals $3,150,- OCO. - Albapy, N. Y., Oct. 11—A check for $3,150,000 was received today by State Comptroller Schmer in pavment of the advance inheri tance tax on the estate of the late Col. John Jacob Astor, who per ished on the steamer Titanic last April. The temporary tax was paid at this time in order to obtain a b per cent rebate allowed by law if the tax is paid within six months after the death of the decedent. This rebate is equivalent to $155,- 000, The temporary tax repre sents an estate, the estimated value of which is new placed at $75,000,- 000 although the final tax will not ®e tixad until after the estate.has been appraised., The payment is the largest in heritance tax paid on a single estate since the enactment of the law twenty-seven years ago and is nearly one-third as large as the entire tax collected during the fiscal vear ended Septensber 30. The preliminary tax on the estates of the other victims of the Titanic disaster, including those of the late Isador Straus and Benj. Gug gerheim, has not been paid. The executors have until October i 5 to make the payment in order to benefit by the 5 per cent rebate, While we send our influence abroad as much as possible, we should live so that we shall be benedictidns to ‘hose nearest us, Rev, J.

A few months and the dear old year of 1912 will be gone. But remember, “Time and tide wait for no man,”’ and how swiftly time passes. One of our Ashton negroes was accused of stealirg chickens, but being a good laborer, he was not prosecuted, and instead a negro minister was sent to warn him of the sin he was committing The parson said: ‘‘Rastus, what would you say if the Lawd wuz to ax you what you gone done with all dem chickens you stole?”’ Rastus seratched his wooly head awhile and said: ‘‘Well, Parson, vo’ know a man ain’t ’bleeged to testify against his wife.”’ | LEONNE DELORAINE. Don’t Waste Labor Isn’t it, when you come to think of it seriously. just as unwise and as extravagant to waste labor as to waste money? It all amounts to the same thing in the end, for to fritter away time and strength doing unremunerative work, or work unnecessarily hard, is to de crease the profits of the day or the year just assurely as would be done by scattering d.mes or dollars. Yet there are many far mers who would lament the loss of a nickel but who, day after day and year after year, do work that is absolutely unprofitable, To put the potato patch, for example ¢en minutes’ walk from the house, when there is plenty of land avail able rnght to hand, and so to make necessary a lot of extra time every time potatoes are wanted for eat ing, is just as truly a wasie as it would be to throw away the price of the extra time required in go ing to this distant patch for the potatoes.—The Progressive Far mer.

BECAUSE: 1. He has broken his solemn promise not to be a candidate for a tnird term, therefore his other promises are not to be relied upon. 2. For seven years he was president, and during those sev en years the very conditions he now pretends to comoat viciously were more thoroughly developed than during all the other periods in the country’s history. 3. The day he become Presi dent there werel49 trusts or com binations, capitalized at $3,000,- 000,000, and the day he retired from office there were 1,020 such combinations. capitalized at $31,- 000,060,000, 4. He permitted the Steel Trust to acquire Tennessee Coal and Iron Campany, its principal rival, in violation of the anti trust law, and forbade the prose cution of the Harvester Trust at the request of George W. Per kins, his present National Chair man. 5. The man, next to Roose velt, responsible for -the third term movement, is Geo. W. Per kins; Perkins is the promoter and defender of the most pernicious trusts in the United States, which are the most vicious imposers on the men, women and children wage-earners of the country. 6. He urges the legalization of trust watered stock and mo nopoly, as first advocated by Per kins, his principal supporter and financial backer. 7. He accepted campaign con tributions from trusts, insurance companies and ‘‘erooked busi ness,”” and denied that he had done so—““My dear Harriman ”’ H. stands for ‘‘Boss’’ Flinn, ‘“Boss’’> Woodruff and' other ‘‘Bosses’” who serve him. 8. During the seven years he was President, he failed, even refused, to lift a finger against high tariff. Who believes, if elected, he would try to reduce excessive tariff taxes? Why is he now surrounded now by high tariff men, who are contributing freely to his campaign fund? 9. He loves war better than peace. ' 10. Out of office he promises too much, and in office performs too little. ; 11. He says that the small farmer and the laborer of the city are not to be mentioned in the same breath with cowboys, ete. Afterdescribing the drunk enness and deadly shooting af frays of the cowboys he writes: ‘“‘But they are much better fel lows and pleasanter companions than the small farmers or agri cultural laborers; or are the me chanics of a great city to be men tioned in the same breath with them.” 12 President Taft, whoknows him best, says of him: ‘Heis a demagogue, a neurotic, a flatter er, an egotist.”’ C.

Churchwell--*Sell It For Less ee = I National Guards To - Meet in Macon Atlanta, Ga, Oct, 14.—Practi cally all the leading officers of the Georgia National Guard with headquarters in Atlanta are plan ning today to attend the meetihg of the Nationll Guard association of the state which will be held ia Macon this Saturday, October 19th. The meeting was called by Major Claude C. Smith, president of the association and he will be there in person to occupy the chair. This is the annual meeting and many matters pertaining to the prosperity of the militia will be discussed. Principal among these will be the army pay bill, now pending in congress, Addresses will be made on various military subjects by niembers of the militia and by U. S. army officers who have been especizlly invited to at tend. We wish t) reason a little with the man who has peanuts, cowpeas, soy bears or other grazing crops for his hogs. Itis a mistake to altow the hogs to ¢et their entire feed from these crops. When hogs are grazing these, a quarter or a third of a full ration of corn will be worth at least a dollar a bushel and no one can afford not to feed it. The failure to feed some corn to the hogs while grazing these crops rich in portein is almost as big a mistake as to feed ccrnalone in a dry lot. The only difference is that the wasted feeds—peanuts, soy beans, etc,—have not cost quite so much as the corn that is wasted by- the other method.— The progressive Farmer. : A female optimist is a womsn who marries a poet.

Holmes, Storm Will Bring Unsettled Weather Washington, D. C, Qct. 13. Unsettled, rainy weather through out the Gulf and South Atlantic states during the fi:st part of the coming week is predicted by the weather bureau as a result of a tropical storm now entering the Gulf of Mexico from the Carib bean sea. ‘““Elsewhere over the country the weathér will be fair during the next several days,’”’ said the weekly bulietin, ‘‘although a dis turbance of a moderate intensity, attended by local areas of precip itation will develop over the West.

This change to colder will appear in the Northwest Wednesday or Thursday. The man who has only corn to feed his hogs should probably sel them to someone who has grown peanuts, soy beauns, cowpeas, vel vet beans or some such erops for hoo feed; but if he will not do this, then he should buy tankage and feed one part of tankage to about eight parts of corn. The tankage is high-priced—sso to $6O a ton—but 1t is cheaper than corn alone. Soy beans and corn grown on the farm will make cheaper pork than tankage and corn; but tankage and corn will make cheap er pork than corn alone.—Th> Progressive Farmer. : Three days and 3 nights to the Fair for $1.00; 6 ad missions only 16 2-3 cents for admission. 400 votes with this ticket.
