"MARION HARLAND." Mr. Mary Virginia Hawes Terhune,

who is well known as a novelist and "writer on domestic science under the 3en name of "Marion llarland," was horn in Amelia County, Virginia, December 21, 1831, the daughter of Samuel Pierce Hawes. a merchant of Richmond. In 1866 Miss Hawes married the Rev. Dr. K. P. Terhune, a Presbyterian clergyman, who died in 1907. She began her career as a writer at the early age of fourteen, and before her twentieth year she had written find published several novels. In addition to numerous works of fiction Mrs. Terhune has been a voluminous contributor to the magazines for upward of half a century. To the general public, however, she is best k nown as a writer on cooking and domestic ecience.

THE SUPERFICIALLY WISE. (Prom the Washington Star) lie talks about the Scriptures la a tone of confidence Till you think his store of knowledge Must be wondrously immense; And he'll quote a bit from Shakespeare1, Aa bo many love to do. Till he gets you half believing That he's really read them through! He touches on the classics In a very learned way. Of the world's most helpful volumes He will have a lot to say; And we cannot venture questions, Aa we oft are tempted to, Because we've frankly stated That we never read them through. Of a Presidential message He makes comment far from short; He is there with criticisms Of a most impressive sort On each document that's offered. But there is, 'twixt me and you, A general suspicion That he never reads them through.

HANDLED WITH CARE. ( From the Washington Star) There's a boom in old Nebraska, There are several 'way out West, All commanding great attention Ere they meet the crucial test. There are some in wise Missouri And in traveling toward the East You will notice in Ohio There are two of them at least. Oh the vast enthusiasm Should these various booms combine Would create a mighty uproar Like the bursting of a mine. We must handle them at present In a deft and cautious style, And to ward off an explosion Keep them scattered for a while.

We wish to call your attention to the fact that most infectious diseases men as whooping cough, diphtheria and scarlet fever are contracted when the child has a cold. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will quickly cure a cold and greatly lessen the danger of contracting these diseases. This remedy is famous for Its cures of colds. It contains no opium or other narcotic and may be given to a child with implicit confidence. Sold by all dealers.

Fissures In tha Rockies. In some of the blgb plateaus or means of the Rocky mountains there are to be found a short distance from the edge cracks or fissures not more than four feet wide and often as much aa eighty feet deep. During the terrific blizzards that rage In the winter these crevices are filled to the level, and cattle and horses which are not acquainted with the country frequently drop Into them, their struggles only causing them to sink deeper and deeper. The cracks, Into which the sun never penetrates, are like refrigerator!, and the hapless brutes, when death has come to their relief, become to all Intenta and purposes mummies.

'A Cleae Student. The late Ooldwin Smith, writing for the Nineteenth Century, recalls that Robert Lowe, afterward Lord Sberbrooke, was so nearsighted that when he was reading bis nose literally touched his book.

Senator La Follette's Way. We are not surprised to read In various Tory papers throughout Indiana the statement that Senator La Follette is doing a lot of marching up a hill and marching down again, because of the hitherto indefinite dates set for his appearance in Indiana, and other western states. Just as it is the interests which do not want Roosevelt to run for the presidency that are shouting his name and insisting he is the only man who can pull the Republican through, so it is that element of the Republican party that is against progressive ideas, that is lamenting the fact of La Toilette's dates for speaking in Indiana being changed several times. Both the Rosevelt shouters and the Tories in Indiana who are lamenting over La Follette's non-appearance have the same purpose the common purpose to create dissatisfaction and discord in the ranks of Progressive Republicans who are favorably inclined towards Senator La Follette's candidacy. The former would have progressives believe that Roosevelt can be prevailed upon to run for the presidency despite his many insistent statements to the contrary; and, as many progressives would be for Roosevelt if he did run, this has the effect of keeping that wing of the party "up in the air," while the old crowd is getting down to its knitting and organizing. The Tories in Indiana who are so pained over La Follette's nonappearance wish to create the impression that La Follette is unreliable, shilly-shally, undecided in his own mind as to what he will do, or that he is playing cross-tag with his friends. The advantage to the standpatters in creating such an opinion among the masses is very apparent. If it has any effect at all, it is to prevent any solidification of sentiment back of La Follette and organization in his behalf until it is too late for either sentiment or organization in his behalf to accomplish much.

It will be rioted that none of the dates announced for La Follette's appearance in Indiana or any other state have been announced as "fixed." Kvery time the announcement of dates was accompanied by the statement that they were tentative, subject to change in order to permit Senator La Follette to accomplish what he is in the United States senate to accomplish namely, to lead the fight in that body against the forces of special privilege to be on guard eternally. Senator La Follette Is not like President Taft. President Taft has small regard for the office he occupies; he has less for the public's welfare; he has yet less for truth and justice. Witness his action in the Glavis matter in which he left the work of reviewing the important evidence in the Ballinger case to a clerk and went to play golf, instructing a stenographer to write the executive condemnation of Glavis, " just as I would write it" without knowing anything about the facts. Witness his recent apology for his Winona speech in which he admitted that he didn't know what he gave out for publication as his candid opinion of so important a matter of legislation as the Payne-Aldrich tariff, as he dictated the statement between stations on the train and did not go over it for revision. That is Taft. Again and again he has been forced in a corner by an enroused and enraged public sentiment, to find his only avenue of escape was to shift the responsibility upon the shoulders of others, usually subordinates, and plead his ignorance of matters that should have been given his most intense study, and upon which he had acted as though he had fully acquainted himself with the facts. We have before us the synopsis of the report of the tariff board on Schedule K, accompanied by a message from President Taft to congress recommending that the rates on wool and woolens be materially reduced. He also urges revision at once. He sets forth that the board has found that the rates in Schedule K are in many instances not merely protective, but absolutely prohibitive, and that as a result of these rates the American people are being clothed with shoddy garments at exhorbltant figures. President Taft characterizes the report as being the most comprehensive, thorough, impartial and accurate document he has ever witnessed, and he congratulates the board upon its work. We have the report before us. We also have before us the data presented by a little band of Insurgents in the senate during the time Schedule K was being framed and we can not see that the tariff board, which Taft justly compliments, has furnished any more reasons for lower rates on wool and woolens than was presented to the senate and the Republican "leaders" by Senator Dolliver, when he and La Follette and Beveridge and Cummins and Bristow and Clapp and others were leading the fight against the Payne-Aldrich bill. Yet Taft at that time refused to consider the data gathered by these Insurgents at their own expense, and at the cost of enormous energy and physical strength. La Follette 'was one of those Insurgents who worked until dawn, night after night, during the weeks of the tariff debate, gathering and compiling data, snatching a few hours of sleep and appearing on the floor of the senate at ten or eleven in the morning, there to match wits and tactics in parlimentary fights with the Old Guard, that worked in relays in order to break down, physically break down, the little band of Insurgents. It did kill Dolliver, that gruelling fight. It nearly killed Cummins. It all but exhausted La Follette, Beveridge and others in the fight.

That is how La Follette works at Washington. He does not enter into the multitude of social functions. He scarcely spares time to eat, and when he does eat, it is of the simplest food. What he did in the tariff fight, he did, also, in the great fight to prevent the passage of the railroad bill, written in Wall Street, fathered by Wickersham, introduced by Aldrich, and backed by all the patronage and coercion that Taft had at his command. He fought the same way to prevent the passage of the bill that would have centered all financial resources of the nation in the House of Morgan. He fought the same way in the last session of congress to prevent the passage of many bills that were introduced by Big Business and backed by Taft. He has always fought that way, even back in his early days in Wisconsin, where, single-handed he pitted himself against the corporations that at that time had Wisconsin by the throat, and, by years of campaigning, during which he made no mis-statements, but presented facts, he transformed Wisconsin into the most progressive and the most CONSTRUCTIVE state in the Union. He is no mouthing orator, no demagogue, with a flow of words and a poverty of facts. If he were, "he would, not be feared, because he would not be either effective or lasting. Veneer will wear off in time. He is the student, the seeker of truth, no matter where it leads him, and the amount of research work he does is something enormous. No man in the senate can stand against him in debate, no matter what the subject matter under discussion, or how expert his antagonist is.

Large questions are coming before this session of congress. Already the issue of the tariff has been thrust into the arena. Within a few days the scheme to centralize all financial power in Wall Street will again be urged. The trust question is due for consideration. The

transcontinental railroads and ship building trust will attempt to mulct the Panama canal. La Follette has been spending his vacation studying these questions, and is still studying them. That is what his people sent him to Washington to do not to grab postoffices or plot to oust some poor devil of a politician in order to make room for another poor devil belonging to another faction. Knowing these things, La Follette has refused to fix any definite time for his short tour of the middle states in behalf of his own candidacy. He has considered his first duty was to his constituents and to the people at large, and he has lived up to it. He knows the methods of the old crowd well enough to know that the absence of one man from the senate floor during a crucial fight may spell opportunity to them, and he has been reluctant to leave his post of duty unless there was not the slightest danger of legislation being Jammed through or parlimentary tricks played in his absence. He is not putting his candidacy ahead of his duty to the whole pec pie. If he should find it necessary in his judgment, to remain at Washington until the adjournment of this congress, he would abandon his proposed trip without the least regret, knowing he had done what was right, in comparison to which the presidency is nothing to him.

When President Taft leaves Washington on a three months' campaign in behalf of his renominatioa, he leaves other representatives of Big Business in charge. It may be a Hitchcock, or a Wickersham or a Knox. But some one is on hand to see to it that the Interests are not harmed by the absence of the man they have used throughout his iD cumbency In office. When La Follette leaves Washington during a session of congress one of the people's greatest tribunes is absent from the battlefield, and until the senate can be redeemed from the rule of Big Business not a man can be spared from among the few who are fighting for the masses.

CHESS TOURNAMENT BETWEEN COLLEGES

Let the Tory papers lament La Follette's prolonged stay from Indiana. If he is staying away he is not rendering any aid and comfort to their lords and masters. And when he comes, he will not render them any aid and comfort. It is no time for the people to be upset by the unusual solicitude displayed in their behalf by papers and politicians who have always combined to deprive them of their rights.

CONGRESSIONAL RECESS HAS BEGUN (National News Association) WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 21. Both houses of congress adjourned today for the customary holiday recess. Some of the members living in nearby states will return home to spend Christmas, but the big majority of the senators and representatives

will remain in the capital. Of late years the holiday season has become a period of great social brilliance in Washington and as a consequence very few of those prominent in public life, to say nothing of their wives and daughters, care to leave the city at this time. Then, too, the abolition of railroad passes has been a potent influence in changing the old habit of the members of congress in making frequent trips to and from their homes.

A GIFT. There is one gift that you may give Which will not cost you anything. And when 'tis given you may live More gladly than you did and fling Aside a burden that has long Prevented you from claiming all The joy that might have made you strong And sweetened oft your cup of gall. Your gift shall make him richer who Receives it and you, too, shall gain; In giving, there shall come to you Fair profits that must long remain; Send your forgiveness to the one For whom you long have carried hate, And cease to stunt yourself and shun The self-scourged bigot's foolish fate. S. E. Kiser.

Beeson of the board of county commissioners, representing the western district, stated Wednesday he would not be a candidate for re-election. Joseph Groves of Dublin. Elias M. Hoover of Jefferson township and at present president of the county council, and Theo. Crist of Milton are candidates.
