We fear that we have gone astray-
Come, Wanamaker, let us pray!

Knute Nelson's head was level when
he uttered the following sensible words
IN congress: "The price of labor is pri-
marily governed by the law Of supply
and demand. The protected producer
does not measure the sum he pays by
the amount of protection he gets, but by
the ease or difficulty with which he can
procure labor, or by the fact whether
labor is scarce or plenty"

A Scotchman named McKechnie SAYS
that Highland blood is not Celtic. He
declares that the Irish have Celtic blood
rushing wildly in their veins; the Welsh
have it in less fervid form, but the
Manx and the Cornish have mono OF it.
He says he has no name for the blood of
the Scottish Hlghlanders but Highland
blood, which he regards as being better
than Norman blood, but NO man of Gel
tic blood has any conception of Justice.
