THE DREAMS OF SUMMER.
Now drowsy summer takes the world
And rocks It In her arms.
A poppy flower, It seems, soft curled
Upon her breast that warms.
Among the fields With Indolence,
In gypsy gowns of tousalled gold,
She walks; or by some tangled fanes
Sits with the dreams of old.
Upstarting whan In rebel red
The sunset pitches camp
On uplands of the heaven overhead,
She lights her signal lamp.
The moon, she swings ao all may ass
The twilight way that she must taka,
Putting to bed the bird and bee
And Ufa In field and brake.
When night,letde from the folder hllle
Its clan of gypsy dreams,
Upon her cricket flute slid shrills
And scatters glowworm gleams;
Then slips the moon moth from Its weed
On pearl orbed wings of seat and tan.
And calls the wild stealth forth to feed
That lives In fear of man.
Sh* drives the warm winds thru the trees,
And thuds the earth with fruit;.
The tumbled ripeness no one sees,
Smells bruised beneath her foot; . „
Sho herds the sky’s cloud fleeces whits
On acres of the star*flowered blue,
And sows the earth with firefly light
And plants It with the dew,
Dim In the east when atara grow wan,
On housewife knees she kneels.
And blows the hearth fire ath of dawn
That red her faee reveals;
And then down tying, morning’s rote
Stuck In a cloud of golden locks,
She dozas In the garden close
Among the hollyhocks. •
Falls fast asleep; then, half aware,
Beside the sleepy stream,
Stoops, and bar hot face In Its hair
Startles her like a dream;
And pale wth fear the turns away
And to her hounds, the wood winds,
calls,
Who, mad with haste, sat all aaway
Where dark her shadow falls.
And from the Wile on lightning feet
Her whlppere-ln, the thurn'ere. raee,
While thru a vail of rain and heat
Earth shows a frightened face;
Till deep within the cloud walled west
Eve llohte a witch’s wlndowpana.
Where thru. In gold and acarlet dressed,
She sees her dreams again.
•'-Madison Caweln.
The Leader of a Great
Movement.
Reports from the Democratic
primnrie* held in Virginia Thurs
day show that Claude A. Swan,
son haa 'been renominated for
the United States senate.
Senator Swanson belongs to
the so-ealled reactionary faction
of Virginia Democrats, and tri
umphed over his insurgent or
progressive opponents. He jios-
serses one merit, however, which
is not reactionary, but is very
progressive, and of itself justi
fies his return to the senate, and
that is his championship of the
movement for Federal aid for
good roads.
A bill providing for this great
ieparture in good roads build
ing, wjticlv was introduced by
him at the ■ session of eongress
just cliised, ‘ attracted wide at
tention. • ♦
The time has undoubtedly ar
rived when the general govern-
teut must embark upon this
work and embark upon it in no
half-hearted manner. The meas
ure introduced by Senator
Swanson provides that #20,000.-
(HW a year for five years he ap
propriated and distributed for
good roads nsc among the states,
according *; to population. The
state and local authorities ore to
meet the appropriations with a.
like amount for whatever work
is done within their territory.
After reducing the tariff and
lowering the coat of living, the
next greatest good the national
government can do for the peo
ple is to give them good roads.
Senator Swanson has become a
leader in the work, and his re-
election to the senate is there
fore a matter for general grati
fication.
The Blacksmiths’ Convention.
The meeting of the Interna
tional Brotherhood of Black
smiths and Helpers here in Oc
tober will be an event of more
than usual interest. It will in
many ways be unique among
the conventions which Atlanta is
famous for entertaining.
The brotherhood had its origin,
in Atlanta 21 years ago, 'and it
comes back now to celebrate the
attainment of its majority, to
feel its muscles, so to speak, and
see what a husky, hefty grown
up it has become.
. When it was organised here
in 1890 it possessed but thirteen
locals and only 600 members. It
has grown now until its locals
number 600 and its membership
25,000, and Canada and Mexico
have been included in its juris
diction.
The good it iiaa accomplished has
been commensurate with, its or
ganic growth. It has been
largely instrumental in increas
ing the wages of blacksmiths
from 25 cents an hour in 1890
to 38 cents now, an increase that
has resulted in more than '10 per
cent of the workers at the forge
owning their own homes.
Atlanta must not tail to see
that ao interesting a gathering is
extended all befitting hospitality.
The city council will contrib
ute an appropriation of #250. O.
T. Smith,, president of -the At
lanta local and head of the
finance; division of' the commit
tee on arrangements, however,
finds that the entertainment
fund is yet incomplete.
Making the meeting of an or
der in the city of its birth mem
orable throughout the organiza
tion should be incentive enough
to cause the Chamber of Com
merce and other civic organiza
tions to come gladly to the res
cue of the local committee.
THE BUSINESS DOCTOR
£y ROE FULKERSON
When a Really Low Tariff
Will Be Possible.
The tariff reformer must trav
el a long way. He must first
heat do\yn the rank growth of
high protection that sprung up
nbout the tariff wall proper in
times past and now towers above
it, well nigh concealing it alto
gether. Then he must level the
real wall to the point where gov
ernment income and government
expenditure may meet without
any great- strnining .or stretch
ing.
The nation has just now set
about the first stage of the work
in earnest. 'A start was made at
the recent extra session of con
gress. It will he continued at
the regular session and the presi
dential campaign following, and
with small doubt will be con
summated at the succeeding ses
sions.
Hut - when-that is done there
will still renin;n the problem of
raising enoifgn money to. meet
the enormous expense of operat
ing our government, an expense
thHt mounts higher every year.
This is done now almost entirely
by the levying of tho tariff. It
i» a system of taxation in which
the rich man pays no more for
the support of the government
than the poor man—a system
that is plainly unjust to the lat
ter. ' ,
Hnt the wav is being cleared
for the inauguration of a more
equitable method: The income
tax amendment needs the votes
of only four moire states to be
adopted. Thirty-one states have
ratified it. and four more which
will undoubtedly act favorably
within the next six months will
complete the required three-
fourths.
When, the income tax shall
finally become enacted into law,
the United States will have at
its command another great reve
nue-producing source, and the
tariff, loug overworked, may be
given at least a half holiday.
Government at the expense of
the poor will then become gov
ernment at the expense of every
one, according to his means.
This thin* of a bewitching smile can
be overdone Just remember what hap
pened to Mona Lisa.
A round billion of dollar* I* « anted
by the Bouth for Ita lilt cotton crop,
say* Secretary Hester, nt the Sea- Ur-
lean* cottoh exchange, and that much
and more be*lde» will be obtained If
only the fanners will get together and
aland together for a Ju*l price for thc|r
product.
So vigorous ha* become the campaign
for reciprocity In Canada that practi
cally all the spellbinders on both side*
are laid up with sore throat. A deluge
of words nearly killed the measure on
tills side th* border. May It make a*
lucky an escape on the other.
It la stated that at Iasi the woman
mayor of Hunnewelt. Kan*., and th?
masculine membera of her council have
agreed on a measure, which was a reso.
lotion to adjourn the round) on Labor
day. But shrewd observers Insist that
this amounted to no more than put
ting off trouble, and that when some
real work la to be dons the row will
start again.
The young stenographer pulled the aheet of paper from the typewriter
fiercely and angrily threw It Into the waste basket with a remark which Is
more used In Irrigation projects than In polite society. The Business Doctor
looked at him pityingly. "Far he It
from me to say anything to hurt your
feelings. Far bo It from me to do any
thing to aggravate you to still further
foolishness; but If you hope to ever get
any distance up the ladder of success,
there Is nne thing you must learn. That
one thing Is poise.
"Bad temper Is merely a strong will
uncontrolled. A strong will Is a valu
able asset when under, the control of Its
owner, but It spreads disaster when It
becomes greater than the man who has
It. A man's good, calm Judgment should
act as a governor on his temper. The
ateam which spins the wheels of a fac
tory will, also wreck the entire estab
lishment If the governor of the engine
Is taken off and thrown away; so also
will tho very strong will, which makes a
man so efficient In his work, wreck him
unless he learns to control It. There
are no poisons In the world. A poison
Is simply a med!c|ne taken In too large
a dose. So temper Ii<a strong will taken
In too large a dose. Oo from one end of this broad land to the other and
look at the really big men In the commercial world, and you will find them
men of calm exterior, or easy manners and Infinite poise. Evidences of vio
lent temper are more frequent In cab drivers than cab rldere. The man
who files Into a rage at trifle*, or even at big things, for that matter, not
only spoil* himself for good work for the rest of the day, but he also ruins
th* people iaround him. No man who can not keep absolute control over his
own temper may ever hope to handle other people. 'TIs true that he who
governs his own temper Is greater than he who taketh a elty.
"Don't understand that I advise you to be the namby-pamby man. The
world no longer praises mediocrity In character. There was a time when It
worshipped at the shrine of the moral weakling. Goodness Is eternally de
fined aa being purely negative. A man I* rated high morally for the things
he does not do rather than for the thing* he doe* do. You have been taught
to look up to Mr. Bank President because he does not toy with the festive
Martini, go to the burlesque shows, smoke, gamble, dance or swear. Th*
world today advoentes none of these things, but It has begun to see that a
man may do some of them. Why should Mr. Bank President boast that he
does not do them? Neither does a billy goat or a fence post. What th*
world I* looking for now Is positive virtues, not negative ones. It aaka what
have you dono, not what have you abstained from.
>■ '"Passion under control Is a positive virtue. This old world Is boosted
forward not by the Jellyfish, but by the live, virile men In It. These men
wh'o have gohe far have always held that passion In absolute check, mak
ing nf It a servant and not a master.and If you hope to reach the top In this
'or any othor Walk of Ilf*, you must emulate their example.’'
What mighty contests arise from trivial things! The Ladle* Home
Journal changed the entire policy of Its advertising department on the
strength of one photograph sent It from a country postofflee. The country
postmaster was a photographer, and almost every family In th* village was a
subscriber to Mr. Bok’s paper. When the month's batch of Journals ar
rived and the postmaster put them Into the boxes In the postofflee. he saw
that every box save one had. a Journal In It, and as the magaslne Is long,
they stuck quite a way out of the boxes.. He got a rush of .brains to the
head and set up his camera to photograph the scene. When the picture
came to the offlee, where It was sent to be used for advertising purposes, Mr.
Bok realized with horror that plainly visible In every box was the back
cover of The Journal Inatead of the front, and also plainly snowing In each
picture was the name, "The Christian Advocate." It had bought the bark
cover of Th* Journal for that month. No other publication can ever buy it
at anr price.
THE NOBLE DISCONTENT
By ELBERT HUBBARD.
(Copyright by the International News Service. Mil.)
A few years ago you could nelthe-
be legally born, get married nor die
without the aervlcea of a notary. Now,
If you do not like medicine you can
eschew It, excepting In the cax* of vac
cination, where, the punishment for
non-compliance Is Illiteracy. With the
ological heresy the punishment Is mere
ly social ostracism.
But In the matter of the law we all
move together. If <>u don't like the
law It makes no difference, there are
men whose business II Is to cram It
down your throat.
Browning tells of the Holy Cross day
In Venice when all J.ews were compelled
to attend a Christian church and reette
the Apostles Creed.
In these days the government doe*
not come with the ubiquitous gens
d'arme to take you to church, hut It
can and oceaslonalyly does corns with
the hurry-up wagon to take you to the
court house. One-half of all people In
ntt -ilhnce at court are there against
tin . will—I think I state the proportion
VOfreptlj'*
We err all entagled In the meahes of
the law, and while law promote* and
conserve* our liberties In some direc
tions, It curtails thsm In olh.rs. To a
great degree we are ruled by law* made
by men who had leea Intelligence and
lea* opportunity for observation than
ourselves—that 1*. we are governed by
the dead.
The reform of the Jaw Is vital to all
people; for wu are all answerable to
the law.
In the past there have always been
severe penalties Imposed for question
ing the Justice of the laws—laws were
supposed to be sacred things—Inspired
edicts.
And any man who expressed a doubt
ss to the righteousness of certain .laws
was assumed to be -the enemy of the
state and was speedily dealt with.
But If some men had' not questioned
the Justice of the law. and defied the
law. there would be today no such thing
aa freedom. The saviors of (he world
have alt been law breakers, which, of
course. Is quite a different thing from
saying all law breakers are saviors.
Progress springs from doubt, and
until men are dissatisfied with the pres
ent order there Is nothing better for
them In the future.
The degeneration of nations has al
ways sprang from one reason; they re
garded their government and religion
as perfect. And so any ..man who que*.
t loncd either the religion or the laws
(and these things were always fie),
was quickly snuffed nut. Society has
killed and banished Its bast—the In-,
ventors, originators, the men of genius
—and preserved the commonplace; that
Is. those without sufficient Imagination
to picture a better condition.
And the argument I* this: When you
are satisfied with your art, your edu
cation, your attainments, your religion
and the government under which you
live, you are dying at the tnp and had
better telephone for the undertaker.
Sahitatioh vs. Swatting
From The New York World.
Th* boys of Minneapolis killed (i02(.-
515 files In n two weeks contest. But
It it not stated that they campaigned
against filth condition* In which files
are bred—that they cleared up garbage
end door yard'end barn yard refuse or
railed attention to defective sewerage.
"Bwat-the-Fly" contests are well
enough, but crusades against fly-breed.
Ing conditions are better. A few dosen
female dies domiciled In x neglected
garbage can could soon recruit ill* fly
brigade of Minneapolis to normal.
File* are carrier* of anthrax. African
fever, ophthalmia, pink-eye, cholera

agate It. Sanitation should supersede

Mr. Lorimer, from which support Mr.
Taft may devoutly beg to be deltv-

press I* all the more serious to Mr.
Taft's prospects because such action
carries with It no charge of disloyalty
to the Republican party, such as might
be brought against Republican senators
and congressmen who have voted

UNCLE WALT ^ 'philosopher
I often drop my helpful book to watch fair Arabella cook.
No weary kitchen drudge is she; she cooks with gladsome ec
stasy. I’ve seen her take some flour and
IN THE KITCHEN grease, and then produce a masterpiece.
With soul inspired and glowing eye she
makes the pudding and the pie: when from the oven she will
take some lovely and triumphant cake she feels the rapture
that is known by geniuses, and they alone. And when we
gather round the board and view with joy the tempting hoard
of things that make otir stomachs gay, we hand the cook a
large bouquet. .Jemima hasn’t learned to cook; she paints
large pictures of a brook: and pea green cattle stand therein,
’neath bughouse trees with leaves of tin; and crimson crows are
soaring by, beneath a stretch of brindled sky: the sun, tlint
shines on bird aud beast, is sinking slowly in the east. We
turn away, with sinking heart, from fair Jemima’• stunt in
art, give her the jolt that she deserves, and watch sweet Ara
bella’s curves. WALT MASON.

GENIUS OF NOTORIETY.
From Harper 1 * Weekly.
There Is such a thing (is a genius for
notoriety.—The Evening Post.
So there Is! And L’pton Sinclair
has It, don't you think? Is he really an
important person? It would not seem
so, but he has a wonderful and con
stant hold on the newepeper headlines.
Whatever happens to him—a breakage
of the Sabbath ■ and out-of-date Jail
sentence, separation from hla wife and
plans for a divorce suit—goes straight
to the top of the column on the first
page of the papers, and I* communi
cated to the world with an exclamatory
Introduction tn black type.
And hi* wife haa a considerable tal
ent of the same species. Her reasons
for cutting loose from Upton, given at
length to tho papers on August 28, are
full of new light, and very remarkable.
Upton, she saye, "Is an essential mo
nogamist without having any of the
qualities which an essential monogamist
ought to possess. He Is a conservative
b\ Irstlrct and nitui*> and a radical
merely by choice.” That I* bad, of
course, and trying to a wife who Is,
as this lady says of herself, "emotion
ally and Intellectually radtcaL” with
“the artistic Greek temperament.” It
was not that Upton was ao bad, but that
he was ursulted to her, and when she
married him she "had had no experi
ence and did not know the comparative
value of loves.” •
This Is Interesting and worth the
space It get* and the headlines. But,
dear! dear! where will society fetch up
when the enlightened modern Improv
er* have got ell their Improvement* put
In?
