The High Cost of Living.

A GOOD MILOSOPUY Let ua not care too much for what hai pana. let ua not leave our peace nf mine at tha mercy of events. C. U. Ames. I like that philosophy. It smacks of a certain audacity, nn: 7t It satisfies. Whatever happens, happens. If ro tried to prevent It you did your best Let It happen. It Is too late to mourn I do not care how healthy or Jiros peroua or fortunate you may be thing will happen to make you mis erable If you will let them. The happiest man I ever knew bad the Ames philosophy. He believed in God and loved boy He waa a big brother to ell of us. No gang; was complete without him. And when eoraetbing happened to prevent nutting; expedition or fishing or what not he would aay: "Well, let'a do something else." "But, Uncle John, the day la apoiled." Wherect he would laugh bis boyish laugh ho waa over sixty and rflply. "Every day is good for something." lie never cared too much about what happened, and his peace of mind did not depend upon events. One eying in especial I well remember: "Don't cry over spilled milk. Go and get some more. There's plenty of milk." Looking back to those days, when onr boyish feet Joyously brushed the dew from the meadows of asphodel. X can see that bis life had many happenings that might have spoiled it yet I never saw him in any but a cheerful mood. Be felt that happenings, however grievous, must in the end be endured. Therefore why should be spoil bis peace of mind? Rare serenity 1 When I see men and women fret

and fidget and chafe and shorten their lives because of that which must needs

happen I think of Uncle Ben. Men and women die dally for want of hla bit of philosophy.

Because none of us ever reaches his

Ideal. All of us are disappointed

Despite our beet laid plans, grievous

things will happen. Shall we therefore be the playthings f fate? Shall we. because of events we cannot stay, spoil our live? Let us not care too much for what happen. If it happens, let it.

If you fall out of a window do you blame the force of gravity? The high cost of living is a problem with which every household is concerned these rays, and it has become a habit to criticise the middleman, or the producer, and attribute it all to them. The must bear their share, but a fair analysis of the situation will show they are not altogether to blame. Perhaps they should not be held for the largest proportion of the advance. Modern retail business is not conducted along the same lines it was a dozen years ago or twenty years ago. The housewife no longer takes her basket and journeys to the grocery, selects her food, pays for it and acts as her own delivery boy. She uses the telephone. She insists upon fruit and vegetables out of season, she has it charged, she has it delivered to her back door. For these luxuries for luxuries they are she must pay. If the fruit is out of season, then - it must have been ripened artificially or kept in cold storage, and this work is done by commission men who charge the groceryman, who in turn adds the charge to his customers. Look into every detail of modern living. How many men today shine their own shoes? How many men who live over ten blocks from their places of business walk instead of riding on a street car? How many go home for the midday meal? How many shave themselves? ' Whence comes the money for the manicurist? For the countless shining parlors? For the multiplying barber shops? Why the ever increasing automobile trade? Twelve million people rode on Indiana interurbans last year. Twice that number rod on local street car lines within the state. The man today who wears a "hand-me-down" suit is the object of derision. He at least must have it made to measure. Who pays for the moving picture shows? Who makes the vaudeville a profit? A hundred thousand stand in line to buy seats in the bleachers prior to the world's baseball championship series. The number of pianos sold on the installment plan would reach twice around the equator. We have more saloons than we have groceries and more cigar stores than either. We demand hot and cold water, a bath, electric lights, janitor service, with an ice chest and a range thrown in if we rent. Where is the family that would put up with the "good old days" when we jumped out of bed and had to break the ice in a pltclier in order to perform our morning ablutions? Where is the family that is content to "wash off" in the family tub, a la Diogenes? What proud head of the household is content to do without hardwood floors and submit to the indignity of the old-fashioned rag carpet. High cost of living is due to many factors, and it is too high. But is it due to the greed of those who sell or to the extravagance of those who buy?

Advertising Indiana.

When we hear of Hood River, or even Oregon as a state, wo invariably think of apples. When we hear of California we think of orangeSy Kansas suggests wheat, Michigan is a synonym for potatoes, peacheQ and celery. Verily, "by their fruits ye shall know them." A leading Chicago daily had for one of its leading features in a recent Sunday issue an article upon "No Man's. Land in Northern Indiana." Certain novelists have conveyed the impression that the southern portion of our state is populated by whitecaps and other desperadoes, while the central portion is supposed to be inhabited by a mongrel people who eat pie with a knife. Isn't it about time that Indiana was getting on the map as a state that produces? Opportunity is not only knocking at our door, but she is smashing it in with a sledge hammer while we complacently snooze. The Apple Show (which should be spelled with capital letters) that is to be given In Indianapolis early in November should mark the beginning of a new era for Indiana. As the Palladium has set forth today in a Beries of articles by one who has studied the subject of apple growing Indiana is fitted in every way to be the center of the world's apple market. It has the soil, the climate, the distribution facilities excelling even Oregon In all of them. That we do not cultivate this industry is due to our ignorance and to our indifference. There is no excuse for either. Literature for the asking may be had upon the subject, Purdue is furnishing the farmer a conclusive object lesson in the cultivation of eight orchards, while the market is clamoring for apples exactly like those that can be raised in Indiana. It was once said that the trouble with Kansas was that it raised too much hell and not enough corn. Indiana pays too much attention to politics and pays too little attention to her agricultural possibilities. Put an Indiana apple on the market side by side with an apple from the famous Hood River valley and the Oregon product would go begging, so superior is the Indiana product. The Indiana farmer is behind the times. The Indiana manufacturer is holding his own and more in the markets of the world, but the farmer is backward. He still clings to the practices of his fathers. Will it take the experience of New England, where the increasing number of abandoned farms finally aroused the people to a realization that from the soil springs, the strength and prosperity of a community, and that farming had undergone a revolution more radical even than industrial pursuits?

Putting It Over by a Smile. Ex-senator Aldrich is a pleasant gentleman. He is even likable. While in Indianapolis he ate no children nor attempted to whip anybody or take away tableware that did not belong to him. Whereupon the multitude wondered greatly. Aldrich made friends in Indianapolis and Indiana for his central bank scheme. He made them not because of the logic or fairness of his proposition, but because . of his affable personality. Is it not generally true that those who accomplish things in politics are of such a character? The "boss,' a a rule, is persuasive and plausible, rather than arrogant and domineering. Even the late Thomas Piatt was known as "the easy boss." Tammany's wonderful hold is due to the superficial humanity of its leaders. They give picnics in summer, and excursions down the bay; they give turkeys at Thanksgiving and presents at Christmas time; the baby is remembered at the christening; flowers are sent when the grandfather dies; the boy and the girl are found positions when they seek to join the army of wage-earners. Every successful politician is a "good fellow" or his campaign manager is. It's hard to fight a "good fellow." It's hard to deliver a punch to the man who is smiling at you and holding out his hand in greeting. It is the strongest and most practiced game of the "boss" to put under obligations to him by some favor he did fur you, either voluntarily or for the asking. Only those who are firmly in his grasp does he drive like slaves. Only those who refuse his bounty and reject his proffer of friendship does he attempt to break. Aldrich is a typical "boss" of the greatest money power and the greatest political power on earth. His courteous reception of Indianapolis citizens gives an inkling into his methods while in the senate. No wonder it was a difficult task to defeat him, an embarassing task to oppose him. The only way to fight such men is to reject their overtures, accept no favor from them, hold them at arm's distance and always keep in mind that they are playing a game, their game, at which you cannot win if you play it their way. Jl countless throng of men and a dozen nations have been lured to their destruction by a smile.

active since the announcement that jORS that even if nominated, he will the Democratic National committee ; refuse to accent

rank and file of the Republican party, and that there has developed strong opposition to the President. The only candidate to appear in opposition to President Taft up to the present. Is Senator La Pollette, and indications are that these will be the only names that will receive serious consideration at the convention. There is still a possibility, but no ap-

dent was advised to prolong his trip so as to take in these states on the return from the Pacific Coast, and endeavor to turn back the tide of sentiment there in his favor. At this time the strength of the progressives is largely problematical, but that it has grown sufficiently to give the President and his campaign managers uneasiness is not denied. But

parent probability, that aa attempt jthe reception accorded the chief exwill be made to bring forward the ecutive on his present trip to the Paname of Col. Roosevelt, but it is well cific Coast has greatly encouraged known that such an attempt will be j them, and led to the conclusion that

made over tne vigorous protest of the : the President will carry the conven

tion with a rush. President Taft's own state, Ohio, is

expected to give him a solid delegation, all the Republican leaders there except former Senator Foraker and James Garfield having declared for him. Three years ago much opposition to the nomination of Mr. Taft came from New England, but conditions there have changed since then, and a solid delegation probably will go to the convention instructed for Mr. Taft. This change of sentiment is held to he due to the fact that the President has freed himself from the political advisers who bad gathered about him during the first part of his term and who had become unpopular with the people.

tee to provide for a direct vote for rtel

egates to the convention. It is announced tLat the Democratic progressive league will ask the committee to

make such a recommendation to the

state committee. i

The activity of the convention boom-1

ers forecasts a lively fight in the com

mittee for the convention city. Bal-. timore has been in the field for some ' time and is making a vigorous effort i to obtain from members of the com-

mittee pledges of support of their cam-!

paign to take the convention to the j Monumental City, and the Baltimore ! boomers assert they have been given j

assurance of enough votes to win. j

Recent developments would indi- j

cate, on the other hand, that the Bal-

timoreans are a bit over-optimistic,

as Chicago, Kansas City and St. Louis

have entered the fight and it is said St. Paul intends to extend an invitation to the committee. It is understood that some of the members of the

national committee, who several months ago were disposed to vote for

Baltimore, have changed their minds.

It is said they have been impressed with the argument advanced by some of the Western .members of the committee that if the convention sho'ild

be held in an Eastern city, and a can

didate with reactionary tendencies be nominated, the party would enter the camapign with a heavy handicap.

Up to the present the men who have

been considered as candidates for the nomination for president have given no indication of their preference and taken no part in the preliminary skir

mishes over the selection of a convention city. Friends of Governor Wilson have intimated they believe the gov

ernor would prefer to see the convention go west but so far no declaration has come from the governor.

The announcement that the Demo

cratic National committe would meet

here in January, which will be almost a month later than the fixed date by

the Republican committee, gives assurance that the Republican convention,

will, as usual, precede that of the Dem

ocrats. It has been intimated by mem

bers of the Republican committee, who have been exchanging views as o

the time for holding the convention, that the delegates would be summoned

to assemble next June, probably the latter part of the month.

Chicago is about the only city con

sidered so far by members of the Republican committee as the place of

holding the convention.

Despite the fact that the convention

will be held almost every year from this date, there already is strong talk of an etxended fight against the re-

nomination of President Taft, and the indorsement by the meeting of pro

gressives in Chicago this week of Senator LaFollette is regarded here as

but the opening gun of this campaign.

Notwithstanding this, old political

leaders, professed to be optimistic as to the outcome and freely concede the nomination to Mr. Taft. On the other hand there seems to be no question that there has been

considerable dissatisfaction among the

HOW TO SAFELY PEEL YOUR FACE

(From Beauty Culture) If you have a muddy, sallow or blotchy complexion, the most sensible thing to do is to remove it rather than to patch it over or "doctor" it with any cosmetic, rouge or lotion. The only way to really remove the complexion aside from resorting to an expensive and painful surgical operation is by means of ordinary mercolized wax. Spread the wax over the face, as you would cold cream, washing it off in the morning. This gradually absorbs the lifeless and the halfdead outer skin, in minute, almost invisible particles and gradually the fresh young skin beneath beams forth. Then you have a clear, smooth, velvety, healthy-hued complexion such as no unnatural method can possibly produce. Surface defects due to weather, Illhealth or the ravages of time, of course disappear with the discarded, skin. Ask the druggist for an ounce of pure mercolized wax; this is usually sufficient.
