Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1901-07-05

There is nothing in this world"
said the president in a speech at San
Francisco, that so promotes the uni
versal brotherhood of man as com-
merce." What could Mr.. Mckinley
have meant by saying that commerce
promotes the universal brotherhood OF
man? That is not protection doctrine.
1t is free trade doctrine. And what
does he mean by encouraging COM
merce? Would he abolish the protec-
tive tariff. which hangs like milestone
about the neck of universal trade?
Has Mr.. Mckinley become free
trader favoring open markets and I'M
restricted commerce? If not, what kind
of universal brotherhood 1t Is that he
would have us aspire to?-The Public.

There are signs already that shirt
waists for men are to be tolerated. II
not encouraged, at informal functions
In and near New York in the coming
summer. Members of yacht clubs and
other out-of-door amusement associa-
lions which give evening entertain
ments at their club-houses welcome
the shirtwaist as happy solution OF
a troublesome problem in dress for
Il occasions, and the shirtwaist Is
II ore sure of meeting at least some

No Work on That Day.

Helston, a little town ten miles from
Penzance, recently held Its Furry"
in honor of spring. The town was dec
grated with leafy branches, and two
parties of from 20 to 80 couples each
danced down the main streets and in
and out of the houses. the doors OF
which were all thrown open to them.
The Furry" is very ancient festival,
and the day was observed as holiday.
The tradition is that any one who at
tempts to work shall be carried on a
pole and made to try to jump across
the river at point where is Is quite
certain the jumper will fall in.

King Edwards wages have been
raised to S2.350.000 year. Some
Americans will wonder what Edward
does to deserve such large salary.
When they have satisfied themselves
on this point they might begin to fig
ure on what John D. Rockefeller does
to earn some $5O.OOO,OO0 or more year.
We elect president ostensibly to be
our chief executive and pay him $4,000
a year. But our real executive Is Mr..
Rockefeller, and he doesn't have to
take the trouble to be elected.-Helena

Great Engineering Fe..

An interesting engineering feat was
accomplished recently in Radleuga
Bridge, between Newcastle and Gatee
head. A new bridge was built in ex-
actly the same position as an old one,
while traffic went on uninterrupted
ly. New piers were erected round about
the old ones, and spans and roadway
built a little above and Az feet to one
side of the old roadway; then the old
piers and roadway were removed, the
new roadway lowered into position,
and the work of moving 1t into place
was accomplished. The weight moved,
1000 tons, was pushed over by n.y.
draulic Jacks exerting a pressure OF
$500 pounds to the square inch.

Latest Fad Of Critics.

The latest fad of critics, the New
York Press says. is to rebel against
the names of months. They point out
that 1t is absurd for Europeans and
Americans OF today to dedicate one
sixth of the year to the memory OF
julius Caesar and Augustus, to name
third after heather gods and god
desses, to have two months OF doubt
full nomenclature, and to designate the
remaining four by misleading numer-
icals, September being obviously ninth
and not seventh In order.

The insolent assumption of John d.
Rockefeller that the wages paid by his
oil trust during the past thirty years
were gift to labor" has caused
great amusement among those who are
prompt to see the humorous side OF
things, and aroused the indignation OF
the serious-minded. But all know that
without labor Rockefeller's money
would have produced nothing, and that
his "gift" was merely an exchange OF
money for labor. and not fair ex-
change on his part at that, II the truth
were known.

CUBA LIBRE.

When sailed from tampa bay,
CUBA LibreD
And our ships got under weigh,
Cuba LibreD
AS we floated down the tide,
Crowding to the steamers side,
You remember how we cried:
Cuba Libre!"
When we spied the island shore,
CUBA LibreD
Then we shouted loud once more:
Cuba Libre!"
AS we sank Cervera's ships
Where the southern sea-wall dips,
What again was on our lips?
Cuba Libre!"
These are foreign words, you know
Cuba Libre!"-
That we used so long ago;
CUBA LibreD
And in all the time between
Such lot of things we've seen,
We've forgotten what they mean,
"Cuba Libre!"
Let us ask the president,
CUBA LibreD
What that bit of Spanish meant,
CUBA Libre!)
Ask Mckinley, Root and Hay
What on earth we meant to say
When we shouted night and day:
Cuba Libre!"
But alas! they will not speak,
CUBA Libre)
For their memories are weak,
CUBA Libre)
If you have lexicon,
Borrowed from Spanish don,
Send it down to Washington,
CUBA Libre!)

existence of much thicker veins, rum
