CENTRALIZATION.
One ol the most interesting
chapters in our political history
is that which traces the growth
of centralized power in general
or federal government. At the
formation of the constitution the
creation of a supreme central
government was widely regarded
as a grave menace to the lights
of the several states and possibly
to the liberties of the people. To
preserve these intact and yet
create a central government with
ample and enduring powers was
no easy problem, but it was ac
complished by the franiers of the
constitution.
The rights of the states, or
stite rights, as we better knew
it, was not then a sectional doc
trine. It was held in Massachu
setts as tenaciously as in South
Carolina ; in Rhode Island as
firmly as in Georgia. It therefore
followed that the growth of cen
tralization, constantly watched
by jealous eyes, was slow, in
deed. Yet there was a steady
growth of the idea that the led--eral
government should be recog
nized as the ultimate and domin
ating government for the whole
land. The result of secession
was to crystalize this idea, and
todav we find the representatives
of all the people joining in mak
.iu'j; possible the exercise of pow
ders by the federal government
which would have been denied
to it not many years since. Even
in the south, where state rights
-were longest and most bravely
d.-ttndtd, but two aged senators
tnike ciiynified protest against
""such usurpation of power."
The powers of government
will yet be more centralized, but
some time a point will be reached
beyond which we dare not ad--vai;ce.
S.iall our st3te;meu be
wise enough to recognize this
point ?
IDLE RICH.
The Thaw-White tragedy in
New York City and the conse
quent publicity given to the sort
of life led by the . participants
and their associates is revolting
in the extreme.
But it is no new thing and
need surprise no observant and
thoughtful person . Wealth and
idleness have always produced
such characters and caused such
conditions in society. The hist
ory of mankind from Herodotus
to the present emphasises the
corrupting, corroding influences
exerted upon men, and nations
as well by wealth and idleness.
It was this combination that
wrought the decline and fall of
the Roman Empire. It was not
simply ihe enervating influences
of luxury that destroyed Rome,
bu- rather was it those social
vices which ever sarins from the
combination of wealth and idle
ness. The iile rich violate more of
tl:e laws of God and men than do
r
on
G.A.SEELEY

all other classes of society.
Wealth is not the condition which
gives this resultant, but idle
ness. It is true now as when
austere old Dr. Watts wrote it:
"Satan finds some mischief still
for idle hands to do."
The remedy for the mischiefs
of idleness is chiefly in the
hands of parents- They must
instil the minds of their chil
dren with horror for idleness and.
self-indulgence. They must
teach them the true ' nobility of
labor and. have them learn that
there is no measure of success
attainable without earnest, per
sistent work. Genius alone will
not score success, nor can wealth
purchase it. Fortunate, indeed,
the young man who has these
adventitious aids, but most for
tunate if with them he have
honestty and untiring industry.
It seems inexplicable, almost
that the children of most worthy
parents should become such
worse than miserable failures.
Pittsburg never had a more up
right, respected and public-spirited
citizen than William Thaw,
father of Harry. The elder
children were reared under more
careful parental control and they
were deservedly and highly re
spected. Accumulating business
cares on part of the father and
the demands of society as per
mitted by the mother placed the
training ot the younger children
in the hands of servants who
had no interest in and probably
little fitness for their work.
It is but another demonstration
of the truth that parents may
not shirk their parential obliga
tions nor delegate them to others
and hope to escape humiliation
and disgrace because of the
vicious conduct of their neglect
ed children. Truly "he that
maketh haste to be rich shall
not be innocent."
A GROWING NUISANCE.
What business is it of any
body's what President Roosevelt
eats? Why should anyone' be
concerned whether the president
breakfasts on hard-boiled eggs
or frogs' legs? And yet the
newspapers of the east have
been discussing this matter of
late. The' number of courses in
dulged in by members of the ex
ecutive's household has also been
chronicled. Whose business is
this?
This matter was carried to a
point of ridiculousness, and the
president, in order to protect
himself and family, was compell
ed, finally, to give the public a
statement of what he and his
family ate.
It would seem that the ten
dency of tli s people to become
meddlers is growing rapidly.
This matter of diet as concerns
the president but illustrates the
inquisitiveness of certain indi
viduals that infest every com
munity. They are eternally pry
ing into the affairs of their neigh
bors, sticking their noses into
matters that concern them not,
and the pity is that the self-
respect of those thus

TRIAL
OH YOtra FARM OF A
U.S. CREAM
iVe know from onr
flen lings with over
2.701) dairymen In the
Pacific Northwest and
from our own
practical ex
perience In
dairying that
the U. S.
Cream
Separator Is
the Dest ana .
most practical separator for every-flay farm
use It is such a well-made piece of maehlnt-ry
that It will last a lifetime. Riving every day
the quickest, easiest service. It is the beat
value for the money and we guarantee it our
selv.. In addition to the cuarantee of the
factory. To show our confidence in this
separator we will ship you one on ten days'
free trial. Thfn if it don't prove as represented
the best and most practical for your own use,
you may return It at our expense.
Hazelwood today stands with its gnarantt
behind thousands of U. S. Separators, and there
has never been a day when we have regretted
having guaranteed this fine separator. We
are thoroughly and practically familiar with
the advantages and disadvantages of every
separator on the market and we are handling
the U. S. Separator because we know it to
be the best there is.
SKIMS CLEANEST In addition, the U. 8-
Separator skims the milk cleaner than does
any other machine. This has been demon
strated over and over again. The world's record
for clean skimming has been held by the U. -S.
Hand Sepsiator for many years. No other ;
hand separator has been able to equal the
record made five years ag at the Pan-American
Exposition, and yet this record was lowered
by the U. 8. Separator in the official test at
the Lewis and Clark fair last year.
It wUl outwear any other separator. It U
more easy and simple to operate. It Is easier 1
to keep clean and It will keep right on year
after year doing Its dally work, giving perfect
satisfaction. .
PAYS FOR ITSELF The V. B. Separator

saved over what could be skimmed In the old
fashioned way. If yon don't believe It take ,
advantage cf our free talal offer and make the
test risht on your own farm. Skim In both ways
and figure out the result In your own way.
You wiU find the separator will pay for Itself
In a year. We sell It on easy terms and will :
