It is difficult to see how President Taft’s 13,000 mile swing around the circle can end in anything but a sorry spectacle for himself. If he tells the people the truth about how he vetoed the honest attempt of both branches of Congress to reduce the high cost of living in this country; ho wupon taking office fie filled his cabinet with men connected with the law-breaking trusts, and how he tried and nearly succeeded in giving Alaska away to the land grabbers, he will discredit himself. If Mr. Taft juggles the iacts in the slightest degree, the insurgents, “swinging along in his trail,’’ will point out his misrepresentations with such truth and logic that the President will be more discredited than if he had remained at home. The record of the Taft administration is one that cannot be debated with any credit to - the President. Mr. Taft has himself to blame, together with men like Aldrich, Penrose, Guggenheim and Lodge, to his advice he listened exclusively.

One day last week the hired man went out to feed the hogs and found twenty-nine nice shoats and one fht sow were missing.

The Girl and Her Hero.
No young lady ever lost Her Hero because her hands happened to be a little calloused from wielding the broom or stained from dipping them in dishwater, says Bert Walker. No girl ever fell down an iota in the estimation of Her ’Hero because she stayed at home all afternoon and helped her mother with the work instead of coming down-town and putting on a parade of eight miles. • No girl ever lost Her Hero because she made" life more pleasant for dad and smoothed the wrinkjes from his brow and caused him to look forward to the evening at home with pleasure. .No girl ever lost Her Hero because she wasn’t an adept at usiflg all the latest and most popular slang of the day. No
girl ever lost Her Hero because she was a rattling good cook, a swell housekeeper and a/stemwonder to work. If she did lose Her Hero because of any of those things she should thank her lucky stars. He was in disguise. Instead of Her Hero he was a common cheap old tinhorn sport and she had better be a kitchen queen for dad and mother all her life than a broken-hearted drudge of a slave for such a brainless bat a single day. Just because a girl arrives at gray hairs and faded cheeks in single blessedness is no sign she didn’t have “a chance.” More likely it is because she kept posted on market values and refused to sell her heart and happiness for a mess of pottage.
WOODEN SHOES
More Popular in Chicago and Grand Rapids Than in the City of Amsterdam. Washington, D. C., Sept. 11. —A report from Vice Consul D. P. Young at Amsterdam reveals the fact that Chicago is one of the best patrons of the Dutch wooden shoe industry, and that more of that kind of footgear is worn in Chicago than in Amsterdam. The Vice Consul’s report says: “The United States is the best foreign customer of the Netherlands for this article of manufac ture, many hundreds of pairs of wooden shoes being worn in Michigan, lowa, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey and a few other states. In fact it is claimed that there is more wooden footgear in Chicago, Grand Rapids or Holland, Mich., than in the city of Amsterdam. Paterson, X. J.; St. Louis, Mo.; Lancaster county, Neb.; Marion county, lowa, and numerous other smaller settlements import large quantities of this article of dress every jear.”
MOB SPIRIT IN AMERICA.
Country Needs a Few Good Sheriffs Who Can Shoot Straight. American contempt of law, American worship of force, reached their apotheosis of absurdity and outrage in that Kansas community where a girl of 18, suspected of gossip, wa f decoyed by a youth of her acquaintance to a lonely spot and there set upon, stripped and tarred and feathered by a band of men and. boys. Although it is the palliation for lynching that its purpose is to vindicate womanhood under irretrievable wrong, the purpose here was to dishonor it. Whatever the pretext —and statistics show that in only one lynching in five is a woman’s wrong even alleged—-everywhere the effect of lynching is to degrade womanhood, as it is to degrade society. It devises a spectacle of atrocious suffering, exhibits it for the edification of men and women, boys and girls, and looses a spirit in the community which causes to be sought as souvenirs the rope that dragged the victim, the charred wood in which he was consumed and the fragments of his bones. Wherever lynching raises its head —whether in Pennsylvania, in Oklahoma, in Kansas or in the South—the phenomenon is not -of a masterful brutality, but pf degeneracy. Blood-thirst is in it. and cowardice and disregard of the traditions' and processes which have made society, and a perverting propensity to find light amusement in torture and death. Utter trivalitv is associated with a premeditation that stages the spectacle and contrives immunity. Of a typical American lynching may be said what Lord Acton said of the Reign of Terror: he appalling thing about it is not the tumult, but the calculation.”. The weakness of the law officers is very nearly at the bottom of the matter, and this, more than the mob impulse, is our disgrace. A few r sheriffs , able to shoot straight, willing to die if need be before a prisoner’s cell, the object lesson of a single lyncher sent to the scaffold, would go far to make these outbreaks a bad dream of yesterday. —New York World.

Wiltshire, a son of Harry Wiltshire of Rensselaer, who js "located at Zanesville, 0., was married last Thursday to M iss Helen Roessefer at- the home of the bride’s parents on Homewood Ave., i Zanesville. Miss Roesseler spent* several
days here this summer as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Wiltshire, and is known to several Rensselaer people. , The “A. J. Gilbert of Rensselaer,” mentioned in the Hammond papers last week as having been quite badly hurt by a fall in that city last Monday, was Cain Galbraith of this city, who had gone to Hammond with John Cooper. Through misunderstanding his name spoken, lie was entered in the hospital as A. J. Gilbert instead of A. J. Galbraith. He came home a few days ago, having practically recovered from his injuries. In the Sunday baseball game between Francesville and the Rensselaer Wrens, at the former place, the latter were defeated by a score of 13 to 8, although they started out very strong, holding their adversary to no runs, and scoring three. Rain brought about the loss of the game, they weakened perceptibly with the beginning of the storm. Francesville will play a return game here during the horse show. U Kankakee, IIT., has passed an ordinance imposing a fine of S2O on any driver who runs his automobile with the muffler open. Drivers have a notion that they ca,n get more speed out of a machine with a rajsed muffler and use this method when starting or climbing hills or grades. Alderman Sawyer of the Kankakee council, Who is a machine owner, declares this to be a fallacy. He has mo peddle on - his machine for raising the muffler, and claims he gets along just as well without it. He adds that the
class who are most flagrant in running with raised mufflers do it to show off.
