continue only so long as the war con-
tinued. Representative Mcmillan of
Michigan, who has also arrived in
Washington, declares that his State is
opposed to permitting the Dingley bill
to remain intact. He says that the
people of Michigan appreciate that
the bill has accomplished much good,
but that it has done 90 is in itself an
argument that it needs revision so
that those industries which it has
already placed in an independent posi-.
ton may give place to others more in
need of protection.
1t is now believed that the President
will undertake to satisfy Western
Congressman and their constituents
by a forcible recommendation of leg
islation designed to curtail the power
OF the trusts and by the exploitation
of one or more reciprocity treaties.
Mr.. Roosevelt is too practical politi-
clan to believe that the demands of
the party in the West can be safely
ignored, but he considers that a strong
rap at the trusts will cause the de-
mands for tariff revision to be modi-
fed, especially as there will be an at.
tempt on the part of Republican
statesmen to show that, while the
trusts are quite independent of the
tariff, the small manufacturer will
suffer from any decrease of tariff
schedules.
The situation in New York is still
the cause of considerable worry both
to the President and to some of the
Republican leaders. While the Presi.
dent would like to see complete har.
mony in the State machine, he is so
opposed to Platt's methods and is so
adverse to compromise in a case
where he believes that he is entirely
in the right that it is difficult for any.
one to influence him. When Senator
Hanna came to Washington he tried
to straighten out the tangle and then
left for New York to see what he
could do Mt that end. The President
is inclined TO remove Platt's man Bid
we'll from the position OF Collector Of
the Port of New York. Odell is urg-
ing him to do 60 and Platt is begging
him not to, as is also Secretary Gage,
who, rumor has it, will resign in case
Bidwell is removed. That rumor,
however, is to be taken with large
grain of salt. On the whole, Platt
finds his influence in his own State
waning as never before. That frank
break" of Jerome, when he publicly
charged Platt with duplicity in the
New York campaign, has been taken
very literally by q good many people
and there is a disposition among the
New York Republicans to say, 1--WE
won, but DO thanks to Platt."

The Magic Helmet.

Mortimer Menpes, the English ar.
tist who went to South Africa to paint
dusing the war, says that he knew
nothing of campaigning or the articles
necessary for it. So he bought no
tent and no provisions. But there
was one article which he did chance
to get, which proved as useful as a
talisman. It was feld-marshaPs

also of John O'Brien in Illinois, who
served as boy under Nelson at the

DOWRIES TO PERFECT BRIDES.

The Michigan legislator was intro.
duced bill requiring candidates for
matrimony to present physicians GER
tificates as to their fitness for that
holy estate was not so far away from
scientific sanity, even though his
measure was laughed out OF committee.
He now has the satisfaction of seeing
the principal embodied in his bill in
dorsed by high medical authority in
England.
In Huxley memorial lecture before
brilliant audience of scientists in
London, DR.. Francis Galton, F. r. S.,
advocated the giving OF bonuses to
young married couples whose fitness
to become perfect parents had been
determined by examination. Con.
sidering the great moral and civil
worth of children born OF ideal pare is
DR.. Gallon declared his belief that the
State could we'll afford to give
"dowries to perfect Brides" After
celebrating this idea the speaker con.
tinued:
"Rewards for extra children might
be expected to add an average incre-
ment Of one adult son and one adult
daughter to the offspring OF every
favored couple. Philanthropists &C.
custOmed to befriend promising
youths should extend help to promis.
ing couples. Land owners might says
in so many words: The streets Of
town and city are loaded with the
germs OF contagious diseases, especially
OF diphtheria and consumption. Wo.
men sweep them up in their skirts,
take them home and spread death
about them. Shorten the skirt, d.
minish danger and live.
When smallpox, cholera and yellow
fever appear in epidemic form there is
a hue and cry. The greatest scourge
in the United States is consumption.
1t is favored by our climatic condi-
tions in the East, and on the lake
fronts OF our great interior lakes.
1t annually causes more deaths than
all other diseases added together. It
not only kills its victims, but it taints
the blood OF the offspring. 1t is the
worst OF hereditary diseases. Victims
Of consumption 60 about, before in :
capacitated, expectoratsng disease
germs in every direction. In many
cities, as for instance, New York,
local health boards prohibit splitting
in public conveyances. This is
mere acknowledgement of the fact
that death germs are spread by ex-
p ctoration.
Now Meigs comes forward and
practically says: "You cannot stop
percentage of millions from splitting,
but you can stop women from sweep.
ing up the germs and taking them
home." Meigs is right. Nothing is
mere incomprehensible, more amazing,
than to see Broadway pavements swept
by the skirts OF unthinking or foolish
women. A law forbidding women to
wear dresses within two inches of the
pavement would not only be good
law, but one which would make vast
difference in the health records and
vital statistics OF every town and city
enacting it. All honor to Meigs.

WRECKED BY HER OWN GUNS
The Battisship Alabama Could Not Stand Their
Recoil.

kecon.
The N. Y. Herald OF the 17th inst.
says: So serious was the accident to
the battleship Alabama during her re-
cent target practice off the Virginia
capes, it was learned, that the vessel is
in practically the same condition it
would be had it been through great
battle. Previously it has been admit
ted only one thirteen-inch gun had
been disabled by the premature ex-
plosion of shell and that few plates
had buckled.
As . matter OF fact, both the 13.inch
guns of the forward turret have had
their rifling 80 badly damaged that
they cannot be used. Decks have
been tern up where the big guns have
been fred over them. Sections OF the
main battery Of 6-inch guns have been
rendered unsafe for the gun crews by
the loosening of bolts that held the
gun carriages to the decks, and in at
least one case the ship has developed
q structural weakness through the re-
coil Of the guns in the main super
structure.
Though every effort has been made
TO belittle the damage done to the
ship it is conceded in naval circles
that the disabling of two out of four
13-ineh guns. the impairment of the
mounts of at least four OF 14-inch
guns and the establishment OF the
fact that the ships magazine is full of
defective shells, are q serious matter
and . most serious menace to her ag-
gressiveness in case of war.
Deck beams have buckled under the
strain put upon them by the prema-
ture explosion Of shells in the 6-inch
guns and extensive repairs Of the ship
itself will have to be made.

BITS OF WISDOM.

Money talks so does
good advertising.
"Cleanliness may be next to
Godliness"-but the biggest
advertisement sells the most
soap.
"The human race is but
contest for dollars" 1t you
don't advertise you are not IN
the race.
Saying the right thing at
the right time" implies to adj
vertising-if properly done is
immensely profitable.
AS the rudder is to the ship
so is printers ink and judiclous
advertising to the success OF
any business that makes bid
for public patronage.
ECONOMY is a good thing,
but it is poor policy to set a
hen on one egg to save eggs.
Wise advertisers do not de-
pend on a single ad and a
single insertion to bring them
a fortune.
Make your ads attractive;
see that they are placed in a
paper Of known circulation;
have them contain the offer
TOR sale of seasonable goods at
popular prices. They'll attract
bnyers to your store.
All things being equal, the
larger the advertisement the
more will it be read; but an
attractive advertisement, al>
though small, will do more
good than poorly written one
of three times its size. Frank
