The difference between Brogressive Republican» and Stand-Pat Repnbllesns can readily be seen in the contrast tie- twee n Roosevelt and Ta»t in their ac tion towards God’s great majority, the poor. In visiting some of the faetoriee tn the East where huudre-l« ol the poor are employed at starvation wages, R- oeevelt interviewed some of the girls —scarcely more than children—enrl ae- certained the amount of their pitiful wages and the number of hours daily they were required to work, and speak ing of their cold blooded employers, ex claimed in a fine burst of indignation. •the brut»-s! the miserable brutes! They are destroying the future mother hood of the country.” About the isme time Taft spoke before a mee'ing in New York city assembled for the pur pose of re-organizing the old stand-pat Republican party and eaid among other foolish things “that some |«-opl ■ seem ed to think that the poor under my administration ought to acquire proper ty ami cease from coffering.” Ninety per cent of the people who have ac quired property were once poor and it seems strange that thia President of the United Sta es should think that it is strange that the poor should acquire property and cease from suffering Ever since the days of Aristotle, the Greek philosopher, it has l>een the hope and aspiration of good and wise people ihat the sufferings of the poor should cease and that they should have homes. Happily we are done with Taft and he would never have been in the White House had it not been for Roosevelt who was grossly deceived in him. “All of our yesterdays have been but lanqw to show such men the -lusty road to death.” School began again this week and it is to be hoped that there will be no more interruptions. It is said that the snow is the poor man’s fertilizer, if so, then the country is pretty well fertilized. However one or two weeks of winter weather which has, at no time, been very cold is noth ing to complain of. The writer has seen snug winter weather set in with a ven- gence on the 12th day of November and never let up till April. Here before the first of Feburary pussy willows begin to burst their buds and the robins are sing ing. WEST SECTION LINE S 9-------------------------------------- 9 A number of people in our mid.«t are ill this winter Among them Wm. Nagle, whose condition occasione»! for a time, serious alarm, but who is better at present. Mrs. Buckley has an attack of grip and her son, Lionel, and neighbor, Mr. Crosier, have just recovered. At Arnspiger Lodge the whole family have l>een afflicted with the grip. Leona Freise was taken ill very sud denly during the recese session on Thursday morning and bad to be taken home by her parents. The young wife of C. Jorg«*nsen on the Russelville coach died on he 17th inet., leaving three young sons, the baby being only six months of age. The sym pathy of the entire community goes out to the bereaved husband in hie sad loss. Mrs. Jorgensen was Mise Mary Anderson. Telephone lines are now taking a much needed rest. They seem to be waiting for the advent of the Wilson regime at Washington.
