Neither the bullmoosers nor the progressive republicans are making much noise at Washington these days; and for that matter, neither are the regular republicans. The democrats are the active fellows, and although there are some differences among them, the differences are being ironed out nicely by that expert manipulator of the hand iron, W. W. himself. The tariff bill is coming along and is holding together well, although the fellows who have been pinched of trampled upon are ‘ hollerin,.’'—Columbia City Post.

== These are beautiful days that ought | to make you feel like getting up on . your toes and doing things, real • things, not just putting in so manyl hours for so much money, but actual-, ly working out some plan that will help your community, your fellow man, your family and last and least, yourself. The days are whirling by rapidly and it won't be long until an- ) other generation will be doing things. | They will size up your record. What will it be? A history of something actually achieved or a life of pleasure, idle, mis-spent hours? Will the future populace be glad you lived or won't it make any difference? It's up to you right now. and by the way there are many things to which yo i may devote your attention in such a way that it will aid everybody here and for miles around. This week the “lazy husband” law goes into effect in the state of Wash- 1 ington. Husbands who will not do i their duty by their wives and families will be put to work by the authorities on the county farms or on the roads and an equivalent of the value of their) labor will go to the families. It is I to be hoped that th e Washington la v will find its way eastward with great rapidity, for there is urgent need of

it in every state. The law should be I broad enough, too, to cover the cracker barrel statesman, who spends all of his time in the village grocery store , while his wife takes in washing or sewing or keeps boarders. The modern civilization has no place for the man who tries to run the affairs of the government while his wife is oblig- | cd to run the farm. The other patriot who goes fishing while his small children go tq work in the factory and miss their schooling should also be | remembered. There is no time or place for barnacles in this day and age. The loafer has gone out of style along with the drunkard, the calamity howler and the wife beater. The loafer is a relic of a by-gone period in our national development and the man who is physically fit and does ' not busy himself in behalf of those dependent upon him is an outcast. Respectability has fallen from him as the years have gone by. The keen competition in every line of endeavor ) has made the lazy man as much of a tiling apart from the general scheme ; of existence as a leper. There is no sympathy any more for the loafer. A 1 little touch of the Washington law ■ will probably make men of a good number of them. —Grand Rapids Perse.

NO COMPLAINTS REGISTERED. — Taxpayers Pleased With the Assessments as Taken.

DOINGS IN SOCIETY Persistent Effort. It you say to yourself, “I will be a traveler,” or “1 will be an engineer," or "I will be ,a statesman;" if you will never unsay it. if you bend all your powers in that direction, if ypu take advan- s tage of all the helps that come in your way and reject all that do not, you will some time reach your goal, for the world , turns aside to let any man pass who knows whither he is going.—David Starr Jordan.
