1t is not generally known by house
keepers that in most hospitals the beds
are placed to head north on account of
a theory that electric currents pass from
the North towards the equator And
that wooden bedclothes are better for
covering than cotton or linen for the
reason that the latter absorb exhalation
of the body, while the former, being
porous. permits the escape of these ex-
udations.

greater than ever before and grow
ing larger all the time? Germany
and France may threaten to retail
late if we do not admit their
wines and silks and sugars at a
lower rate Of duty; it is not the
first time they have threatened us
with commercial war. And yet
we have gone on doing business
under our own policy Of protection
and reciprocity and they have
continued to buy Of us.
It was not the free trade de-
mands of Great Britain that
brought us to a most destructive
tariff policy after the election of
1892, but the unwise and illogical
agitation in certain circles in our
own country. We have now
thoroughly learned to distrust the
Greeks who come as the bearers
Of gifts. The trade advantages
are now largely with the United
States. Should we ratify some of
the so-called reciprocity treaties
the advantage would be with
foreign countries. It seems to us
that before any good reason can
be offered for radical change it
must be shown that our trade is
in imminent peril.

A GOOD

The idea Of employing convicts
in road building has often been
preached, but nothing has ever
come of it. New interest has been
lent to the suggestion, however,
by the discussions at the Inter-
national Good Roads congress re-
Gently held in Buffalo.
Among the most instructive and
entertaining of the speakers was
Senator Earl, of Michigan, who
earnestly advocated the employ
sment of prisoners on the public
highways. One of his statements
created deep interest and is said
to have produced a profound i'm
preston.
Senator Earl told the delegates
that the prisons of the country
contained 100000 days labor
which might just as we'll as not be
utilized in road building. This
thought suggests wonderful posi-
bilities in the way of improving
the country's public highways
which are far from what they
should be-
Apparently there is no good

PROTECTION AND
RECIPROCITY.

Were it not for half a dozen rea-
sons the Inter Ocean would feel
inclined to apologize to the St.
Paul Dispatch, the Grand Forks
Herald and the Bismarck Tribune
for having said last week that
tariff revision should not be at
tempted through reciprocity
treaties; that this country would
enter into reciprocal agreements
with other countries whenever it
could be done to the mutual adj
vantage of both and without injury
to any domestic industry; and that
tariff revision, to be constitutional,
must be initiated by bill in the
House Of Representatives and not
by treaties in the senate.
Now why should e.the eminent
journals above mentioned be SO
seriously disturbed over the tariff
question? Is not the Dingley law
doing the precise work which these
papers in 1896 and subsequent
campaigns promised it would do?
The Blaine reciprocity spoken Of
by the Dispatch is in vogue now,
and the Republican party will see
to it that it remains operative and
that it be enlarged upon wherever
necessary; but there is a vast diff
ference between the kind of reci-
procity that MI. Blaine favored
and the kind that is proposed in
the treaties which have been be-
fore the senate during the past
two years. MI, Mckinley did not
favor these treaties as a whole;
and the brand Of reciprocity advo-
Gated by him in isfamous Buffalo
speech was that identical brand
advocated by the Inter Ocean last
week, towit: That which would
be mutually beneficial without i'm
pairing domestic industry.
/, What the Inter- Ocean would
particularly impress upon it's read
ers is that tariff agitation at this
time is unnecessary; indeed it is

reason why convicts should not be
employed in public road building,
and were it done a few years
would give us a system Of high
ways, the value of which would be
inestimable. Our country is in
advance of most nations in many
respects, but in thematter of good
roads we lag in the.rear. The del
egates to the Buffalo congress, it
is reported, were generally con-
verted to the idea Of employing
prison labor and it is thought a
movement may be started that will
result in something being done.
