It 1 ever with a sigh
Sweetent Summer says goodby;
'Fore old Winter's howdydo
Pins a fadln' flower on you;
Says, where withered blooms
you see:
"Keep a kind, sweet thought o'

An' that thought is what you
keep
When sweet Summer falls on
sleep;
An' In Winter's stormy place
That one flower smiles In your

When the storms of winter beat
Keep your dream of Summer

r GETTING RESULTS
VITH0UT any resort to
yjf bluster and without
pointing a single gun at
any one, the national adminis
tration has secured very desir
able results from both Ger
many and England. The Ger
man affair is not entirely set
tied but the attitude taken by
the kaiser plainly indicates he
proposes to abide by the wishes
of President Wilson. The dan
ger of trouble with Germany
has become remote.
At the same time Great Brit
ain is modifying the famous
order-in-council so as to make
it more pleasing to America.
Some features of the order-in-council
were arbitrary and un
just They were as injurious
to Americans as to Germans.
Present indications are these
points will be corrected.
The results constitute a
great diplomatic victory for
the administration. It is in the
nature of a triumph of peace
over war. The game has been
"to secure respect for our
rights at a very trying time
and yet do so without getting
drawn into the mire ourselves.
President Wilson is accomp
lishing this great object in re
markable degree and it is
wonderful work. It is gov
ernmental efficiency of the
highest order. A fool in the
white house would have
plunged the country into war;
a weakling might have sacri
ficed too much in the way of
American rights. President
Wilson being both capable and
courageous has succeeded in
upholding our prestige and in
remaining at peace.

SexTCtary of State Lansing.
Secretary of State Robert Lansing
has Just announced a new and great
American policy, nothing less than
the control of the Caribbean Sea,
which is necessary to the protection
and control of the Panama Canal.
Such is the interpretation put on the
treaty he has Just offered the new
Haitien government providing for a
protectorate of ten years. Of course,
the policy is not stated in the broad
Map of the Caribbean Sea.
terms that the purpose of it is to
dominate the Caribbean; but far see
ing Washington observers, who have
believed ever since the American gov
ernment decided to build the Panama
Canal, that domination of the Carib
bean was absolutely necessary to its
protection, think the time has at last
come when this new American policy
has taken shape.
Control of the Caribbean requires a
port like Port au Prince at the east
end. The Panama strip itself serves
as a naval base on the west end of
the sea, while Xew Orleans naturallj
becomes the large naval base neces
sary for the success of the policy.
The treaty the secretary of state has
offered to Haiti must, of course, be
confirmed by the United States senate
THE COMMON MAN'S
WELFARE
3X the summary of the re
port by the Industrial Re
lations Commission it is
stated that facts show the con
dition of workers in the Unit
ed States has not improved in
proportion to the general in
crease in wealth.
Figures are given showing
the country's wealth has in
creased 188 per rent in 22
years whereas during that time
the sum total paid for wages to
mining, transportation and
manufacturing workers ha in
creased but 93 per cent.
This data i not sufficiently
complete to show the exact
manner in which the average
worker has fared, but it gives
proof our prosperity has not
been equitably divided with
the men who toil and there
fore form the basis of the
country's wealth.
What will the next 20 years
bring to light upon this sub
ject Is the country to remain
permanently in a condition
where a number will grow
overrich while a mass of peo
ple remain overpoor? Or
nhall the economic plan be re
arranged so as to give more
of a square deal, resulting ia
a mort balanced prosperity
and a more contented people?
Necessarily the answer rests
largely upon the workers
themselves in other words
upon the common man. The
path to betterment is open be
fore him if he will but insist
upon it. The common people
are vastly in the majority.
They may rule the country as
they will and such things as
contentment and prosperity are
dependent to large extent up
on the economic program ad
opted by the country as the re
sult of political action.
The national administration
now in power has a construc
tive program that looks to im
proving the lot for the ordi
nary citizen. The water pow
er bill, the shipping bill and
other measures of similar ten
or will do much if enacted and
adhered to in the future. In
telligence commands that
those who would bring about a
more balanced life uphold the
administration. It has been
many years since the common
people were represented so
well at Washington.
BETTER THAN LAST YEAR
flb HROUGHOUT the entire
nation the business situ
ation is much improved
over what it was one year ago.
Twelve months ago the war
shock had demoralized the
commercial and financial cir
cles to a considerable extent.
But there has been a safe re
covery and the evidence to
this effect is positive.
In the Clews financial re
view for August 28, some of
these facts are pointed out:
"Some idea of the increase in
business activity can be ob
tained from a comparison of
bank clearings with a year
ago. The total clearings at
principal cities for the first
three weeks of August was
$9,977,000,000 against $6,
947,000,000 a year ago, an in
crease of $3,030,000,000. In
cluded in these totals are clear
ings at New York amounting
to $3,095,000,000, against $2,
713,000,000 last year, an in
crease of $2,280,000,000. The
great increase in New York's
clearings is chiefly due to the
exceptional outburst of activ
ity on the btock Lxchange,
which was closed a year ago.
There has been a sharp revi
val of speculation, amounting
to a boom m the war group,
and the transactions since Jan
uary 1 are more than double
those of a year ago. At the
same time, there has been a
steady expansion of legitimate
business throughout the coun
try', as demonstrated by an in
crease of 69 per cent in clear
ings during the second week
of August in the middle states,
of 24 per cent in the New Eng
land states, 10 per cent in the
middle west, 3 per cent in the
Pacific states, 10 per cent in
other western states and 4 per
sent in the southern states. Re
ports from 135 cities in the
middle of August showed an
increase of nearly 44 per cent,
than which no better evidence
of trade improvement could
be found, even after eliminat
ing speculative transactions."
The conditions are satisfac
tory and all will be well if the
farmers can but get good pri
ces for their crops.
La Grande has been obliged
to stop the irrigation of lawns
in order to have a sufficient
water supply for domestic pur
poses; bring on the cool wea
ther and the rams.
Good thing Russia is a large
country or the Germans would
have it all soon.
It would be more in order to
bear the price of ship charters.
Farewell, August.
CURRENT THINKING
ITALY'S PLUMED TROOPS.
(Atlanta Constitution.)
War has ceased to be a flourish of
trumpets, waving of banners and
shaking of plumes; the spectacular,
aside from the soaring Zeppelins and
other aircraft, has been largely ellm
inaU-d. Like moles men dig in the
ground now, and are denied the priv
liege of going In glittering garb
where glory waits." But Italy pre
serves many of the features of old
fashioned war.
This Is the case with the Bersag
lleri, Italy's plumed troops, said to
be the finest Infantry riflemen in
the world. The Dundee Advertiser
says of them;
' The dress of the Bersaglieri Is jt
the most picturesque type, consisting
of a dark blue uniform with red fac
ings, but it is the headdress which Is
the soldier's greatest glory.. This
comprise a low-crowned black
slouch hat with a very wide brim and
decorated with droplng plumes of
green cocks' feathers. Although onlj
paid at the rate of a penny a day,
the members of this famous corps
.ave up their coppers in order that
they may be able to olrtaln for them
pelves plumes of better quality and
richer hue than those provided by
the government."
Their record from of old is one of
uplendid achievement, and great
things are predicted for them In the
present war, as "every man Is
picked man, chosen for his stamina
and strength " But dark ditch-fight
Ing Is not to their liking; with them
It Is the charge, with tossing plumei
under fluttering flags. And they are
permitted to have their way when
there Is occasion for it.
Another picture of the Italian sol
dier is given in an article by Andre
Mauriel, In Everyman, and it speaks
well for his staying qualities under
the hardships of war:
"The Italian soldier Is still the man
who eats scarcely anything, drinks
water only, lunches on little paste
and a glass of water and dines on
a few beans Between meals not s
crap. If he must go hungry he Willi
fast without, regret. This frugally
and this sobriety extend to all the
bodily requirements. The Italians
are inured against fatigue, very har
dy, capable of a physical resistance
beyond all others. Those who em
ploy them as laborers know It. The
endurance of the Italian is extraordi
nary. And when he rests, he need
only stretch himself In the sun to re
cuperate. He sleeps on the ground
for weeks without a thought. If only
he feels the sun on his skin he is'
happy." ' j
Evidently, these are men who will
reckon with the enemy. They have
already given a good account of
themselves In battles with the Aus
trian troops, and are yet to be heard
from in their promised aid to the al
lies. Bt the Bersaglieri he must retain
his plumes, and all the flashing fea
tures of the fight.
And It is well that he should, since
there are more early trampled graves
In this unholy war than there are
lasting glories.
His plumes shake little glory over
him. He goes to battle in the glow
of great traditions a plumed knight,
who holds his life but lightly, or
clings to It only that he may serve
his country.
Let the soldiers get what glory
they can out of this war of kings and
In the meantime, may God save the
People!
Admiral William It. Caperton.
and many members of that body may
disagree with the new policy. Hut
there is little doubt in Washington
that the administration has committ
ed Itself.
Admiral William B. Caperton is
now in control of Haiti. Although a
new president has been elected the
American is almost dictator; He ot
some other representative of the navy
department will likely remain there
until the treaty for an American pro
tectorate has been acted on.

OUR STRENGTH.
Our strength Is not In bayonets,
Or cannon's swift appeal.
Nor yet In costly armaments
Or battlements of steel.
Xor submarines to haunt the deep.
Or craft to cleave the air,
Nor wasting wars that always reap
A blight, the world must share.
Our strength Is not in bloody fields,
Where strong lives bite the dust,
In brutal, fiendish fight that yields
The lives we love and trust.
We want no conflict. It it comes
The demon In us all
Will see that every factor burns
Responsive to the call.
Our strength Is where all 'strength
begins
WHh valiant, loyal sons.
With Industry and thrift that wins
A home for loving ones.
Our strength Is brain and brawn with j
those
Who strive with Jill their might I
To live as neighbors, yet oppose
The wrong by dolnt; right.
Our Mrength Is In ur dally toll
And use of wind and tide, I
On factory and mine, and soil,
Where life and strength abide.
Our rock-ribbed citadel of strength
I Justice that is done.
And Uncle Sam will go his length
Till It Is fairly won.
Hurrah for Uncle Sam to lead
A peace that should prevail.
We live in strength yet live our creed
Not one would we assail.
