Yet if society is to be properly reformed or transformed every one must .begin with himself. Regulars *aad Insurgents alike who visit Teddy comes away with an exhibition smile, on that refuses to come off.' Teddy seems to have the glad hand for the adherents of both sides. However great the financial gain one may make by the sacrifice of principle he is a poorer man than before the transaction was made, for nothing can compensate for the loss of character. Harvard has conferred the degree of Doctor of Laws on J. P. Morgan. He has proven himself master of laws in many a tussle with the courts of the land, so his new honor comes somewhat late. Failure is sometimes the best thing that can happen to a man. It cer tainly is if it leads him to diagnose the causes of. failure, and if the ex ?perience -thus -gained puts him in -better position to deal with the fu ture. " ? !. ? J ?Within rather wide limits the col onel is showing himself all things to all Republicans just at present. This course possesses the special at traction that it doe:; not by any means lessen the exalted nature of alia position as universal arbiter. When the political scandals arise one of the saddest things is the ?rief and humiliation which the in nocent families'of the offenders suf fer. The pride and confidence inj the guilty head .of the family reri ceives a rude ' shock and is often-! times shattered. Teddy gave it out that .he was to retire from the political game, but after a few days' of self-repression on the bleachers,; we: find .him down on the side lines qbac.hing Hughes to knock the' Rover; off the direct nomination bali? ' lty fall Teddy will be taking a full hand backing up the President and his gang. To live iu the cloud-land of senti tnentaWsm may be very delightful to j some people whose life is theoret-j leal rather than practical. But it ii the man of sentiment and not of sen- j timentalisni that.gains his place n the thought aud affection of other?, and this because sentiment dofi things in loviug sympathy while sen fimenlalisuV expends itself in empty phrases. Or course President Diaz of Mex ico h;is l>een re-elected. That was a foregone conclusion. The only wonder is thkt it was thought neces sary to go through the form of an election, for with all the power iu his own hands aud with his princi pal opponent languishing in prison, Diaz could say "I am- the-republic just as truly as Louis XIV of France | s*id. " I am the state." But in .Mex ico it is evidently still - needful t.u 4seeo up the appearance of repres -efttative government? We hope the'action taken by the J students of the University of New York, whereby they have sworn nev er to tring discredit upon their city, may prove contagious. If it does it ?wlii prove a good thing for many cit ies and for thousands of people. Ir | the -negative form of the vow could only be changed to a positive form in ?which the students would pledge themselves to bring credit upon the city by faithful discharge of the du ties of citizenship, it would lie even bettor. There is not a community but that would be improved by such Action whether by students or iiou St?de. t3. A young Massachusetts woman w.ho bad just taken a college course in farming took an abandoned farm in that slate two or three years ago, <aud by Ihn- intensive farming she has already made a good profit' off the farm. Her method with its re sultant success points the way into which another persou nHght well follow. Iu the eastern states and ?.(so in other portions of the coun try there are thousands of abandon ed farms which in proper hands aud ?cientific.aKy farmed might well prove veritable bonanzas. This fact ought to give potency to the cry of .back to the land. A Great Empire. The number of states in the union ? is now an even four dozen, and at that figure it will probably remain for many a day as there is no longer any territory in the continental Unit-, ed States. With the admission of Arizona and New Mexico one realizes what a mighty empire this nation has be i come since the original thirteen col j onies broke with England. While I the principle of 'elcration on much same basis -as prevails in this 'country is now followed by Austral ia, Canada, andi South Africa, yet nowhere else is it seen oh so large a scale or inclusive1 of such diver sity of interests. The diversity is not only climatic, commercial and industrial, but po litical also. Much of the political di versity is, of course, due tc geo graphical causes and the vast range in natural resources v, and produc tions. Because of this the view tak en by the wheat grower of the north west, the cotton planter'of the south, the miner of the mountain states, the corn grower of the mlddlfe-west, and the manufacturing element in the east is liable on some questions to be very different.. Then, too, the larger number of states the more complex becomes the relation of states to each other and to the federal government. Very fortunately the American* people are level headed, broad of view and tol erant of spirit, and all this with wise statesmanship and the firm, equable principle upon which our political system is based will enable every pro blem of government to be met and solved in a spirit of fairness and justice. In so doing America will, as in the past, .be a beacon light for other nations to follow in -.the.politi cal changes through which they may be called to pass. France ou the Decline. Over in France the steady decline in the birth rate is at last causing serious concern. With the popula tion of Germany increasing by leaps ?nd bounds, while that of France remains station ary the outlook is not promising. The French government now proposes to tax bachelors, give bounties for large families and com pel all unmarried employees of the state over twenty-five years of age to marry. It !.s to be hoped that the desired effect may be realized. It is a singular fact that although France has so iow a birth rate the French in Canada are remarkable for their fecundity and large fam ilies. Many of! these French.i'Caua dians with their large'families have moved down into New England, where, like France, the birth, rate is very low, and at no distant day they will rule that once proud section of our country.' ;No country can prosper" whose birth rate is low., and the experiment to increase the births in Fvajiee will be watched with interest by ail the ::ivilized countries in the world. If it fails, France is doomed^ 'as sooner 'or later she will be overrun and con quered by some more prolific nation. The French, like the New Engl?nd ers, are in many respects a great people, -but they cannot survive' the destruction of the .home any more than New England can. What/ Wc Need. ;~ZZ J The census reports are already proving, a disappointment as regards the'rural population in some of the counties of the middle-west. There is an actual decrease in population due, in large-, measure, to the in creased size of farms. This necs sarily means fewer farms and con sequently' fewer families, nud .that in everyway is a misfortune. The freehold? farmer, known in olden times as the yoeman, is more per haps than any other person the back bone of the community, and there fore any decrease ia this class can not fail to be injurious to the best interests of the country. Rather should there be more and smaller farms more thoroughly cultivated and forming the happy homes of sturdy, independent freeholders. We need them more than we need lit tle towns and cities. In fact we could prosper without them, bht if you wipe out the farms we are doom ed, as the farmer is '.he backbone of the whole country. Therefore, the population of the town do not worry us. What we need is weli to-do thrifty farmers, who own their own farms and are making money. One such farmer is worth dozens of loafers about town. South Carolina Leads. ?It was surprising to the Charlotte Observer to learn from official esti mates that In 1910 South Carolina's crops of cotton, corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye. buckwheat, flaxseed. rice, potatoes, hay and tobacco ag gregated mor.j than North Carolina's although North Carolina led Virginia by not far from fifty per cent/ and Tennessee by a fair riiagln. 4n.-1899 the two state stood: North Carolina. $53^214.000; South Carolina. $51, ::24,000. In 190? the standing was: South Carolina. $109.0i:>,.000; North Carolina. $ 1 0:;.l 4S.000. South Carolina has an area con siderably less than three-tilths as large as North Carolina's and a pop ulation little more than two-lbirds as large. Moreover, of South Caro lina's population nearly three-filths are negroes, while North Carolina's negro population is in the propor tion uf slightly less than one third. To be sure, the Observer says. North Carolina has much larger areas of j mountain and coast land, which ha\e not yet been made productive, but, after all allowances South Carolina's record rema ns the bettec After the Knot is Tied. | While the .June wedding couples' are languishing in the seas of honey of The wedding journey, some ques tion arises in the mind of the phil osopher as to the aftermath. It has recently come to our ears, that at a certain sweil wedding, the friends were ciscou raged from marking gifts with the bride's married name. Although no siins'of future squalls disturbed the matrimonial heavens, yet in view of .the ordinary chances ! of hymeneal navagation, it was deem ed" wiser not .to permanently bur den the bride with her husband's initials. What will be the home life of families built on a founda I tion felt to be so temporary, Will not shipwreck be almost inevitable when it is held in view as a likely contingency oh even the wedding day And how great will be the Joy , alty of children to the home thai.ex I ists on a basis of expediency for the time being, rather than as a union to last until death do us part ???????????????"?"""^ mmmm Bankrupt's Petition for Discharge.

THE OVERLAND Woman Across Continent A Thousand Dollar Overland is now being driven from New York to San Francisco by a woman, absolutely with out masculine assistance* She will make all her own adjustments and will demonstrate to the automobile world why the Overland is the car for a woman to THE GIRL. Miss Blanche Stuart Scott, of Rochester, N. Y., started early in May from New York City, enruuie for San Francisco. She will tou~ leisurely, stopping at every impor tant town on her route. She will he unaccompanied, save for a wonman companion. Miss Scott is an ama teur driver, who possesses only a fair knowledge of automobiles. But she has unbounded faith in her Ov erland and is determined .to accom plish the trip. Her determination, together with the ideal car, will carry her through successfully. THE CAR. The car is a regular stock model 38, $1,000 Overland. A lar.;e lug gage box on the rear deck and a couple of spare tires form the only extra equipment. Aside from these points the car is exactly the same as any other Model 38 Overland. You can buy its duplicate here for the same price. SMPLICITY. Such a trip would be impossible in an ordinary car. A skilled mechan ic would be necessary to attend to mechanical derangements. But the Overland is so simple and so trouble proof that the veriest novice can suc cessfuly operate it from the very start; All complex mechanism has been eliminated in this cal. AN IDEAL WOMAN'S CAR. The day of the electric is passing. Gasoline cars have reached such a. high state of perfection that they now prove themselves far superior for woman's use. If we can show you a car just.as simple as the elec tric, far more economical?both in price and upkeep?and with an incomparably larger touring radius, doesn't the balance swing in favor of the gasoline car? We have such a car and will be pleased to de monstrate.
