REPUBLICANS AS DODGERS.
The work accomplished by the
present Democratic house and the
Republican senate is ,worthy of
comparison and redounds with
great credit to the efficiency and
wisdom of the Democrats. The
Democrats with their work plann
ed ahead completed their entire
program before the Republican
senate was fully organized. In the
language of an enthusiastic mem
ber of the lower house, "The Dem
ocrats accomplished more in the
first fourteen days of the extra ses
sion than the Republicans had ac
complished in the past fourteen
years." The Republicans unable to
longer mislead the laboring class
n .sed their energies in a vain at
tenipt to align the western farmers
against reciprocity. This last
effort of a repudiated party is sig
nificant by reason of the fact that
it has brought about the greatest
dissensions ever experienced in
the ranks of the Republican party.
The present attitude of the Rep
ublicans in the senate toward the
reciprocity agreement is ample ev
idence that the Republican party's
representatives in that august
body have undergone no change of
heart since the close of the sixtieth
congress. The charge made against
the Republican party, that it has
become the representative of priv
ileged interests in the national
congress, is substantiated by the
action of Republican representa
tives in the present extra session.
Through the action of Senator
Root in offering an amendment to
the reciprocity bill as passed by
the house, that measure is now in
serious jepordy and its chance of
reaching the president for his sig
inture is a remote possibility. The
announcement of the senate finance
committee, that an adjournment
will be taken in the latter part of
July, forecasts a postponement of
any action by the senate of the
farmers' free list bill and the wool
schedule.
The hope of the people is with
the Democrates. We can no long
er look for a redress of wrongs at
the hands of the Republicans. The
Republican party has outlived its
usefullness. The hands of greed
and competition have erased every
motto of progress from its banners.
The party of Jefferson looms larger
upon the horizon of the hour than
ever before and in the elections of
1912 the Republican party is
doomed to overwhelming defeat.
The Democrats will march to tri
umphant victory.
We note from an exchange that
after witnessing a game of base
ball in a Missouri town, a man
dropped dead. The game played
in Harlowton last Sunday, we
should judge, was enough to make
any Martinsdale rooter long for
that land beyond the seas.
EXIT DICTATOR DIAZ
The retirement of President Diaz
of Mexico was in striking contrast
to the historic farewell of our na
tional hero, George Washington.
It required the subterranean mu
tiny of the mob to drag a resigna
tion out of Diaz. Although he
had been president eight terms
and ought to have conceded that
there should be more than one
man in Mexico able to lead its des
tines, he could not admit any fact
imputable to him which may have
caused the revolution.
George Washington, on the
other hand, after wrestling from
King George the choicest of all
his colonial possessions and being
rewarded by the highest gifts in
the power of the American people,
insisted on his own retirement.
He longed for the seclusion of
Mount Vernon and the reprieve
from an anxious and agitated life.
Washington was a leader whose
soul was moved only by pure patri
otism. His only ambition was to
see his own beloved country freed
from the tyranny of old world
monarchies and started upon a
foundation that would be in keep
ing with the wisdom and patriot
ism of its founders.
Upon the other hand the patriot
ism of Diaz has a tinge of person
al ambition. Anxious for Mexico's
progress, Diaz' opinions were warp
ed by his lust for power. His
conception of what Mexico needed
was some kind of ready made
government delivered in packages
and all of them sealed and.. stamp
ed with his name.
Revolutions have been frequent
in the southern republics and we
who have been trained to respect
their authority of the law look
upon our southern neighbors as
being incapable of self government.
But had Diaz been more like
Washington and trained his people
along the line of Democratic ideas
they would now be able to assume
the responsibilities of a sovereign
people.

The Trade Winds.
The constancy of trade winds is due
to the permanence of the conditions
which rule them. As the heated air at
the equator ascends surface winds set
in from north and south and, uniting,
ascend in their turn and flow off in
opposite directions. As the velocity of
the earth's revolution from east to
west is much greater at the equator
than at the poles, wind blowing along
its surface to the equator is constantly
arriving at places which have a higher
velocity than itself; hence it is retard
ed and must lag behind, and under the
influence of two opposing forces it is
compelled to take an intermediate di
rection, so that what was originally a
north wind is deflected and flows
southwest, while what started as a
south wind becomes northwest. From
the great service they have rendered
to navigation these reliable winds are
called trade winds.
His Black Suit,
He was not a good card player. He
admitted it. His game was pingpong.
But that was no reason why his part
ner should be so disagreeable when
ever he made mistakes.
After a particularly glaring error the
pestering partner turned upon him
with real anger.
"Why didn't you follow my lead?"
he asked.
"If I followed anybody's lead, sir,"
exclaimed the novice hotly, "it cer
tainly wouldn't be yours."
His partner snorted and subsided.
But in the next hand he threw down
his cards in desperation.
"Look here," he cried; "didn't you
see me call for a spade or club? Have
you no black suit?"
"Yes. I have," retorted the novice.

your funeral."

A LONG TIME
COMING
By LOUISE B. CUMMINGS
Copyright by American Press Asso
clation. 1911.
"Would you like to hire a man for
the season?"
The question was asked of a woman
who stood at the door of a farmhouse.
She was about fifty years old, and the
questioner looked to be ten years
older.
"You don't seem strong enough to
work," said the woman sympathetical
ly, "but come in and I'll get you a
snack."
There was something in either the
old man's appearance or the tone of
his voice that reminded her of some
one she had known before. Surely
that walk was familiar. She fed him,
and when her son, a man of thirty,
came in she said:
"Jake, this man wants to help us
out for the harvest season. Can't you
hire him?"
"We need help, mother, but I fear I
the old man is hardly able to work
all day in a field in the brolling.sun."
"I reckon there's some work in me."
replied the stranger. "Anyhow, I got
to earn a livin' or go to the poor
farm, and I'd rather kill myself work
in' than live on the county."
"Where do you hail from?' asked
the younger man.
"I don't know."
"Don't knowl"
"You see. I'm one o' those persons
who suddenly forget everything. It
was about thirty years ago, I reckon,
that I was discharged from a hos
pital. I remember comin' out of it,
but I don't remember goin' in."
"That was about wartime, wasn't
it?" asked the woman, much interest
ed.
"I reckon it was, for they told me
that when I went in I had on a coat
with brass buttons on it. I'd been
there so long and there had been so
many changes that no one could tell
any more than that about it."
The old man looked so lugubrious
that the woman turned the subject
"I tell you what you'd better do,
Henry," she said to her son. "You'd
better let him work for his keep and
do as much or as little as he likes."
"Just as you please, mother," said
the son.
So the old man stayed with them,
working sometimes a whole day and
sometimes half a day. There hung
about him that melancholy to be ex
pected from one who lived in a 'world
from which the earlier part had been
blotted out. Those who bad taken him
in were a widow, Mrs. Hardenburg.
and her son. She had been widowed
thirty years, having lost her husband
when the boy was a baby. Indeed.
Henry had never seen his father. His
mother had been married to a soldier
boy who a few weeks later bad gone
to the war and had not returned. He
was never heard of after the battle
of Fair Oaks in Virginia and was sup
posed to have been buried among the
unknown.
One day when the old man suffered
from a pain in his back the widow
proposed to rub the affected part with
liniment. His shoulder blade was ex
posed, and she noticed a large mole on
it. She started. She had seen on her
husband's shoulder blade just such a
mole. The shape of both were pe
culiar, being of oblong shape with a
protuberance on each side, the whole
being not unlike a clover leaf. Mrs.
Hardenburg said nothing to the old
man about it, but that night when
alone with her son told him that she
believed the old man was her husband
and his father. Henry considered her
assertion a mere whim. His father
he had always heard had been killed
in battle, and the mere shnmilarity of
a mark on their visitor's back to one
on his father's was hardly sufficient to
bring the latter to life.
From that time Mrs. Hardenberg
treated the old man with every kind
ness and attention. But she said
nothing more about her discovery to
I her son and did not mention it to any
one except her son.
One day while at work in the barn
the old man was kicked in the head by
a horse. He was removed to a hos
pital and examined by a surgeon, who
found that the new wound happened
to be in the same location as one
that appeared to have been made by a
bullet. The patient remained uncon
scious, and the surgeon decided to re
move a small portion of the skull that
was pressing on the, brain. As soon
as the operation was finished and the
sufferer had recovered from the effects
of the anaesthetic that had been ad
ministered he looked at the doctor and
asked feebty:
"Did we lick 'em?"
"Lick whom?"
"Why. Johnny Rebi You must be a
contract surgeon, aren't you? Any
way, you're not in uniform."
"What's your name and regiment?"
asked the doctor.
"Henry Hardenberg. -th Pennsyl
vania."
"Well, Mr. Hardenberg, you have
been a long while coming to your own,
but you've got there at last. The war
ended over thirty years ago."
When Mrs. Hardenberg was told
that the "lost man," as the neighbors
called him, was her husband she ex
hiblited no surprise, saying that she
knew him from his walk when he first
appeared, and the mole on his shoul
der blade confirmed her, in her opin
ion. With the son the matter was
very different. He could not believe
the story till his resurrected father
had proved it in many ways.

NAVAL men are just now paying a great deal of attention to the devel
opment of submarines, some making the prediction that this type of
vessel is destined to make the costly Dtrea)dnoughts obsolete. The
recent sinking of a German submarine with its cre",i. all but three of
whom were rescued after remaining under waiter several hours, has directed
attention to safety measures. One suggestioni is that su!linrelllls bhe built
with removable keels, so that in case of an at.id.lit the keel u.n be dropped
so that the body of the vessel will rise. 'The English adiutralty has adopted
a safety helmet with which all submarines will ihe etqupllie. The helmet fits
the shoulders and is attached to a short unaerlroof jacket. Inside the hel
met is a combined purifier and oxygen generator t.tlht will pertlit the wearer
to breathe the same air repeatedly while quitit lag a tlistbled craft and rising
to the surface. It is said that the apparatls can he put on in thirty seconds
without assistance. The cut printed above shows in unusual l view of a sub
marine. It is a section of the Norwegian Koiln, and the gasoline engines
and shafting for the twin screws are plainly shown. It will ibe noticed that
little space is left in this end of the boat for the crew. The new German
submarines will be constructed on this model.
