WE ABI fairly settled cow. and I will aad you a few lines, tired a, I am. Mamma is delighted with the little old sleepy town, and I am deltghtsd that we are out in the country, and don't live In the town, and that we havo a pony and buggy and can J rive to town when we like, and that we don't have to go there unless we really wish to go. Personally, I would be willing not to see a town again in a hundred years. 1 want to sit under the pine trees over on that hill, or lie In the hammock and read, and let the June sun.shine soak In, all summer long. I have just read that last line oer. It aounds poetical, but It won't be June sunshine after to-day. However, you know w hat I mean In other words. I am coins to take

NOTHING BUT PROMISES. ! "CRAFT" IN SHIP-SUBSIDY.

Republican Do Nothing Beyond Passing Appropriation Bills for Themselves.

The Old Gang Planning a Legalized Raid on Untie Sams Stiong-Box.

The claim of the republican party that It la "the party that does things," hastily

agrees with the "let well enough alone" policy, upon which the elections were fought last tall. The majority that controls congress is doing not hing but pass the appropriation bills and even many of the premises made m the last republican national platform have not beeu redeemed. Monopolies have not been restrained; the trusts are still working on full time. The reciprocity treaties, made with so much i.oi-e a. ii expense by Mr Kasson, have t.ever been ratified. The bills for the relief of the laboring men ire atill being fought over In the committee and .t is sAfe to say will, If favorably reported, only pass the house of representatives for io!itii al effect Shiphubsidy, that was promised to the ship trust, has been again postponed until after election -mm hieb the taxpayers must give thanks to the reselute opposition of the democrats who have s-ttrred

up the voters so that republican auresanien "fear the people." The plead iDf Of S. retary Taft for free trade with the Philippines gets no response from "the party that does

things ." The r. publican majority in con- j r-ss says: "Yes, we recopni.e the need, the islands are sadly cramped for want of t mde faclllt ies and in a year or so we will do something about it." There is one thing that "the part) that does tilings" nver Ofaltl and that is. to makeextravagaut appropriations The old flag and an appropriations" is still the battle cry of these patriots. EVERYTHING IS CLAIMED. Ali Thai Remains for the Republican Party to Do Is Amend the Old Testament.
