In discussing the subject Of subsidies

fact that the late President Mckinley
never specifically recommended sub
gidics in his messages to Congress.
Neither we believe. did the Republican
national platform of last year. Aid to
American shipping is susceptible of a
wider construction, and one more in
accordance with the dictates Of sound
craftsmanship, than is TO be found in
the payment of millions of gratuities

unprecedented extent in legitimate
business. The Hanna-Frye project,

LITTLE KIRMET ROOSEVELT
NOW A PUBLIC SCHOOL PUE

Washington, Sept. 2S.-President
Roosevelt has set an example to the
parents of the land by sending his boy
Kirmot to public school. Just like any
other healthy American boy, the little
son of the President went whistling
from the White House yesterday
mounted his bicycle and with his
brand-new books under his arm went
whirling off to his lessons. Arrange
ments had been made on Thursday for
his entrance at the Force School.
This school is on Massachusetts ave.
nue., in the neighbOrhood of the homes
of four of the Cabinet officers, and ex-
actly opposite the residence of Wayne
MacVeagh. 1t was into a crowd of lit
tie boys and girls who were pressing
for admittance that Kirmet threw
himself His newness was noticed
and he was at once piled with many
juvenile questions.
Whats your name?" demanded a
yOungster who lowered three inches
above him, and whose sleeves showed
a repugnance to associating with his
wrists. Kirmet looked him over from
head to foot and then said, with a
shade of defiance: Whats yOurs?"

The successful man, whether in
business, or politics, who has risen
by a constituencies swindling OF
his neighbors, by deceit and Chi
canery, by unscrupulous boldness
and INSCRIPTIONS cunning, stands
toward society asa dangerous wild

miration which such a career COM

kind OF success perhaps the most
dangerous of all the influences that

Sure lest for Rubles

The following may seem outlandish,
but the Wayfarer is convinced OF the
consistency and reliability of the test
for rubies:
The best way to test a ruby is to
get steel file or a piece OF hard
quartz and try to scratch the gem. If
you succeed the stone is not genuine.
Such a test with a topaz, however, is
likely to injure a valuable stone.
The test is no good with emeralds,
for though that stone is harder than
quartz,i it possesses the quality ofcrack-
ling easily. For both rubies and emer-
aids the optical test is best and object
ed to strenuously by the person whose
iewelry you are examining. A glass
which magnifies about a hundred
times should be used. Almost every
lprecious stone has little flaws, and
rubies and emeralds as a rule have
many defects which are so characters
tic that they can easily be detected by
a person with a little experience in
such matters. With rubies such test
is always deceptive Imitation rubies
are made with a color that not only is
absolutely durable but which is ever
finer than most OF the genuine stones
,yelowish tint is always suspicious. II
lis by no means conclusive, however.
The only trustworthy way in which
genuine rubies can be told from the
imitation is by the minute air bubbles
of the latter. which become clearly
3 visible through the magnifying glass
The genuine stone lacks these all
bubbles. but. on the other hand, posses
es certain defects which are wanting
i'm the imitation. These are certain
minute vacuums whose outlines ar
less distinct than those of the al
e bubbles in the imitation stone. Tn
trained eye can readily detect the diff
ference between an air bubble and
D vacuum and thus decide upon tn
5 question of genuineness in the stone
e The emerald also has certain charac
= @'teristic defects which are lacking il
the imitation stone and can readily b
= detected by the expert with magni

STAND AT THE HEAD
OF THE TEMPERANCE COL Vi

As a grower OF fruit this State should
stand in the foremost rank OF the
States in which the consumption of al
coholic drinks is comparatively small,
at least if the theories advanced by ex-
Derts on such subjects count for any
thing.
Chemical analysis assigns practically
no nutritiye value to juicy fruits, as
they consist of but little more than a
sac containing a solution OF sugar, the
amount varying from seventeen per
cent as with grapes, to about one
quarter per cent as with lemons. The
amount Of water contained in fruit is
surprising. In watermelons it is 50
per cent; in strawberries, 80 per cent. I;
in lemons, so per cent; in peaches, SS
per cent; oranges. Sc per cent; pears
S4 per cent; nectarines, SO; apples, 50
per cent; grapes and p,ums, 80 per
cent, not a fruit in the entire list con-
tanning less than so per cent Of sugar
The conclusion. in view of these facts
must be that fruit plays an important
part in the diet as a thirst quencher. II
is certain that when fruits form an i'm
pOrtant part in the diet that the crav-
ing for drink of any kind is noticeably
lessened. as they appear to be en-
dOwed with an inimitable flavor which
is ample inducement to imbibe liquid
in this wholesome form.
The question in many persons minds
as to what to drink and how to drink
it might therefore be answered on
sound reasoning, eat plentifuLy OF
Sound, ripe. juicy fruit 1t is fact be-
yOnd dispute that as fruit enters large
ly into the diet that the indulgence
IN and craving for alcoholic beverages
is greatly diminished. Constant drink
ers are rarely if ever great fruit caters
and vice versa. Hence it is more whole.

TARIFF AND RECIPROCITY

The views Of President Roosevelt
are undoubtedly in harmony with those
OF President Mckinley on reciprocity
In that last noble utterance Of the late
President this subject was dwet upon
as he had never done before, and the
fact that President Roosevelt declared
that he would carry out the policy Of
his predecessor, seems TO indicate that
this idea was included. During the
past few years our foreign trade has
increased marvelously, and there are
indications that under proper condi-
tions It may be extended indefinitely,
But It is impossible to sell everywhere
and buy nowhere.
This move has been construed as a
preparation TO abandon the tariff pol
icy but we may be sure the late
President had no such idea in his mind.
If any man understood the tariff, he
did. and there was never anything in
his public utterances to indicate that
he had abandoned his former views.
As all other real students OF the sub
iect, he knew that the whole system
of tariff is but an expedient, more or
less temporary 1t must necessarily
be flexible, in order that it may be
adapted to the needs OF business, as
they actually occur. None was ever
able to establish a schedule, and de-
clare that IL represented absolute JUS
tice. And so reciprocity comes in as
another expedient. II tariff schedules
are too high, there is nothing in Re
publican doctrine against their regula.
tion. II a reciprocity treaty with GER
tain countries will extend our market,
without materially injuring our manu-,
featuring and commercial interests
and without affecting labor, there q
no party doctrine to prevent 1t ha
frequently been said by Democrats tha
reciprocity is but free trade unde
another name. and so It may be wit
regard to our relations with thos
countries with which we have sue
special treaties, but we reserve tn
right to make them where they Wi
advantage us, and to withhold thel
where they would not.
On the other hand. the free trad
doctrine leaves us no such option, an
its advocates would put it into imm,
diate and universal operation, withol
giving business a chance to adjust 4
saf 1t would take from the hands ,
the Government the right to determir
whether such relations with particuls
countries would be benefit to us.
1t may be that reciprocity is TO I
the instrument through which fr,
trade will ultimately come. That
