like piece of dirty, black, watersoak

"That's nice money" he said to the
cashier. Where come from some

too much like what they might consider

Even Tar;fBite, want Refor,,

The best hope for tariff reform is in
the antagonism of the tariff beneficial
ries, as where the care for the sugar
trust has run counter to the interests Of
the steel trust, and in the growing pop
ular sense of the inequality of the
whole system. This small matter of
the sugar duty has illustrated so many
of its iniquities that even high tariff
men themselves are beginning to peck
at it and little by little the hollowness
of the whole structure will be exposed.

The principle of arbitrary tariff pro-

1t is the policy of isolated neighbor-
hoods. We have surplus goods to sell

to make by use of a bludgeon. The sur
prised nation may be caught at dis
advantage for brief season, during
which time we will enjoy an inflated

How the Homo Buyer Suffers.

There was time when man in New
York could buy a commodity ''for ex-
port" cheaper than he could for avowed
use in this country. So he would "go
through the motions" of shipping his
purchase abroad, though it did not get
beyond the dock, from where it would
be delivered, to his New York address.
In the competition that our manufac-
turers meet with abroad they find 1t

Much interest has been taken IN Val
ley Forge by Pennsylvanians for many
years. Recently the State was induced
to buy some 217 acres of the historic
revolutionary camp ground for PARK
and the Daughters of the American
Revolution presented to Congress the
subject of making the place national
park and military rendezvous. A num-
Der of prominent Philadelphians ap.
peared before both the House and the
Senate committee to present reasons
for making the most noted camp of the

The land can now be purchased at from
500 to $135 per acre, the largest tract
owned by any one person being PA
acres. The State of Pennsylvania is
ready to turn over to Congress its hold
ings at the purchase price and an ap-
preparation of 100000, it is estimated,
will be ample for the purchase and the
initial expenditures for the park.

Fire at the State university in Iowa
City cost the State >$250.OO0 and badly
crippled the work in the big school. The
college of medicine and the literary de-
partment buildings were destroyed by
fire, which ragged for two hours. At pres
ent there is no theory to explain the
cause of the fire. The medical school
building was deserted, and there were
only few pupils in the literary school.
Extraordinary efforts We're necessary to
save adjoining buildings. Work of the
university will be much hampered by
the destruction of the recitation rooms
The college of medicine will close in two
weeks, and arrangements have already
been made to continue the work of these
classes without interruption, but some
of the literary classes will experience DIFF
ticulty in pursuing their work. This is
the second hard blow the university has
sustained recently. About three years
age the library building was burned. 1t
was stored with thousands of valuable
documents and books, none of which was
saved. The loss was irreparable, as
many Of the books cannot be replaced.
Since that disastrous fire extraordinary
precautions have been taken to prevent
similar destruction Mt the university.

Athletics, like any other good thing,
may be overdone. If made passion,
instead Of pastime, they may prove
detrimental. A youth who makes the
development Of his body life-study, to
the sacrifice of his mental growth, is
not popular in college or elsewhere; for
the chances are he will develop into
professional. There is, nevertheless, no
drawer ambition of youth than to pos
sess clean, strong body-to excel In
the healthy, ardent sports of men. You
never saw sound, strong boy, able to
box, fence, race, and play football, who
was dishonest. You never knew
STRAIGHTFORWARD steeplechaser, straining
to his last ounce Of courage for the
honor of his college and class, who lied
or cheated or stole. Athletics breed
sincerity. For that reason, If for no
other, the clean-cut fellows who prac.
tice them can afford to take the risks.
In the Olympian games Of old there
was no talk of shattered constitutions,
of hazarded failure of heart. The win.
ner of the wreath would not have cared,
anyway, If his heart had stopped beat
ing the moment after he had been
crowned with the trophy. Men were
created to strive, to wrestle, to show
square fight in a square cause. Field
sports make fine beginning of life's
battle. INDUCED in with discretion,
they are half boys education. Weak
hearts are made by fear, not by effort.
Hear the old fellows-cheer the young
ones in the arena and believe 1t. That
is why the croakers who deprecate nth-
letics will never have respectful audi
ence. That is why the strenuous games
of the track and gridiron will flourish.
That is why Beauty, sympathetic aud
a-fiutter, will ever pay tribute Of sigh
and alteration to the noble bruises of
Drawn. The wisdom of athletics lies in
the athletes knowledge of his own limit
Of endurance Most have the knowl-
edge and few abuse it.
