BAD PIES AND DEsERTloNs.
Poor Cooking Prompts Husbands to
Leave Their Wives.

Leave Their Wives.
Chicago.-Experts in domestic econ
omy have found the reason why so
many wives are deserted. Bad pies
and poor cooking they say are the
cause. Pies of the kind mother could
not make with malice aforethought
and pancakes that would serve as tar
gets in a shooting gallery have driven
the husbands to the bad.
Superintendent Ernest p. Bicknell,
of the Chicago Bureau of Charities,
and j. NJ. Hanson, Of the Kansas City
organization, have come to the front
with this explanation,
Both men believe that the conditions
may be improved by teaching wives
to realize their responsibility.

SCHOOL CHILDREN TORTURED.
Forced to Eat Soap For Chewing Gum ii
Study Hours.

Chicago.-Charges have been placed
before Superintendent Lane by Hugh
Brady that children in the summer
school have been punished repeatedly
for chewing gum during school hours
by having soap forced into their
mouths, being compelled to let 1t re
main until 1t dissolved and ran down
their threats.
Children subjected to the soap treat
ment returned home with burning
threats and raw mouths. Lester Bra
dy, one of the sufferers, was unable
to eat his supper, and after repeated
ouestionlngs the story cameout, Three
other boys also assert that they were
compelled to undergo the same treat
ment.

AND now it is declared by some
wise man of the East that because
there is a large number of Moham-
medans in the Philippines the islands
cannot have statehood or territorial
government for long time to come,
because of the clash in religious be-
liefs. There will probably be some
people in this country who will find
some argument to make against the
Philippines being retained by Uncle
Sam for the next fifty years to come
The person referred to above be-
lieves that American missionaries
will have hard job to convert the
Mohammedans to the Christian re-
ligion, and cites that the original
mandate of the prophet of those peo-
pie is TO kill all unbelievers. If this
mandate is carried out in Mindanao
it will be good place to send mis-
sionaries for the next few years.

STANDING BY PROTECTION.

When men calling themselves Re-
publicans find their remarks on the
present tariff followed by round
of Democratic applause, the incident
ought to make them thoughtful.
There is nothing in the platform
adopted by the Republicans of Ohio
to draw forth any Democratic signs
of appreciation. 1.-The principle of
protection" says the Ohio plank, "has
achieved it's most signal triumph in
the results of the Dingley tariff law.
1t has given US marked prosperity
at home and rapidly growing ex-
port trade, which are the envy OF
the world. The Republican tariff
policy has made the farmer and the
laborer more prosperous than ever,
and no Legislation should be permit
ted which will imperil the interests
of either" An unequivocal declara-
ton is made for continuance OF
tariff schedules which protect Amer1-
can labor against the low wages
paid foreign labor. r ciprocity
treaties were approved, as in former
Republican platforms, but on the
protective principle.
Nobody who accepts this platform
will be patted on the back by the
Democratic press, for the simple
reason that it is true Republican
doctrine. Democratic schemers are
eager to stir up the spirit of tariff
tinkering, but they will catch no
real Republicans in their net. The
Dingley tariff is complete demon
stration. In the fiscal year just
closing our foreign trade far exceeds
two billions. The trade balance IS
on our side by S675,ooo, 200. The
treasury surplus is $77,ooo,ooo. Demo-
carts who insist that their party
could do better will discover few
persons verdant enough to believe 1T.
Weak-kneed or fantastic Republic
cans who hope for better things by
ripping up the Dingley law will
make no impression on the solid
common sense of the party. The
Dingley law is no experiment. 1t is
a splendid success, an acknowledged
master stroke of craftsmanship

THE Agricultural Department is
about to publish a soil map that will
enable the farmer, wherever he is
located, to determine just what crops
will bring him the largest returns
in money. The map is to cover the
whole of the United States, and will
be on such a scale that every ten
acre patch will be represented by
one-eight of an inch square. But
each farmer will be able to procure
chart of his own neighborhood on
larger scale, so that he can arrange
his planting in accordance with the
suggestions which it conveys.
