Germany, the total value of such goods

OUR NEGLECTED. FEET.
a Gefnsaa Soldiers observations on
EAe Pedal Extrsmities OF ~:
Americans.

What is the matter with Americans
feet? This question was asked last
week at the Brooklyn navy yard by
Capt. Casper F. Ficke. a veteran Of
the German army, now visiting this
country, says the New York Herald.
DO you know" continued the cap
tain, II think l counted a dozen signs
Of various sorts of feet doctors in
three blocks as l was riding on the
Sixth Avenue Elevated road, and I
have noticed the same condition on
other streets. The chiropodists Of
your city must live, and it must mean
lots Of poor feet.
'on your streets I frequently see
men, and much more often women,
who apparently walk with great diff
ficulty, and would be absolutely un-
half dozen miles. There is no good
reason for this, and it simply means
that their feet are neglected. Nor
NAL men and women can have perfect
feet If they will only give them a
little care, but, unfortunately, no
portion of the human anatomy is
more neglected.
"There is one place you can find
good feet, and that is in the German
army. I know all about 1t, and if it
was followed as model we would
not hear so much about corns, bun
ions, sore and tired feet, and
oil that sort Of thing. In our army
every private must battle his feet
once a day and grease them thorough
ly, rubbing the ointment well into the
flesh and massaging the soles, to keep
| them soft and flexible.
Every army man knows the i'm
portance of good feet, and If civilians
would follow that example you would
not see the sort of pedestrianism that
is exhibited on your streets. The feet
are as important as the hair or teeth,
and yet they do not receive one hun
dredth part Of the care. This is all
wrong, and humanity has to suffer in
consequence Of it,"

THE IRREpREssIBLE CONFLICT

An exchange has been looking
into the matter, and concludes that
there in an irrepressible conflict be-
tween labor and capital, and ex-
presses itself on the subject as fol-
lows:
Since the capitalist, Cain, slew
Abel the laborer, there has been
strife between the two elements of
the human family. Many times
have they measured strength,
many times have they entered in
to truce and hostilities have been
suspended only to break out again
with renewed force and bitterness.
We have been asked, "Is there any
way to bring about an amicable
and permanent settlement of the
dificulty?" We answer, not until
all men come to recognize and
practice the doctrine of"the father
hood of God and the brotherhood
of man." Not till selfshness S
eliminated from the breast of man
God created labor. He created il
after His own image, and after His
own likeness. Labor created capi
tai, after labor alienated itself from
God. Consequently, there is strife
between the two. Labor has in {
great measure forgot his Creator
and capital has come to believe
that it is bigger and Of more i'm
portance than its Creator; henc,
the breach between the two wild
ems, strife grows apace and ther'
will be no harmony between th,
two until the arrival Of that perioC

Mrs. Chester Conger was burned

little after 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. She died at s o'cloc'

mercifully relieved in part by tt c

She was alone at the time of the
accident, and though she retained
consciousness until she went under
the influence of opiates nearly two
hours later, she was unable to give
clear account Of it. She hfd
lighted a gasoline stove to prepar,
dinner. 1t was thought the stovc
exploded, but neighbors did no
hear it, though some Of tn

explosion after Mrs. Conger was
on fire. The stove was small

set on a box. 1t was found top.
pied over on the floor broken per.
haps by the fall. The reservoir,
a very large one, was intact.
There is a theory that the stove
slipped from the box, and in fall,
ing 4, pipe was broken, from which
gasoline was thrown upon Mrs
Conger. She was clad in gown
Of light cotton material and she
was instantly afame from head to
foot. She must have had great
presence of mind. She ran from
the kitchen through the dining
room to a closet, where there was
a woolen blanket. She wrapped
herself in the blanket and started
again to the rear Of the house. At
the kitchen door she was met by
Mrs. W. A. Moeur, who lives next
door and by a milkman. She was
no longer on fire. Every particle
Of clothing had been burned away
except her shoes, and much of her
hair was gone. She walked with
assistance to Mrs. Moeur's resi-
dence. In her fight through the
house she had set two door jams
on fire.-Republican.

THE THREAT OF
EUROPEAN REPRISAL


States need be asked for than is
furnished by American protection
lists at this particular time.
In spite of their attempts to dis
pose Of the matter with fippant
comment, they cannot keep from
continually referring thereto and
insisting that it should not be ac-
corded serious consideration.
Unable to convince themselves
even that there is nothing in the
proposition of general European
retaliation, they nevertheless feel
bound to continually repeat that
conflicting interests most neces-
sarily interfere with the formation
Of foreign combinations to keep
out American products. Even if
their assertions were in this parti-
cular true, they could prove
nothing. Separate action on the
part of the nations of Europe
would reach the same end. A uni
versal agreement to adopt the pre-
vailing American plan of shutting
out competition is not necessary to
the success of those who would
protect themselves against Ameri-
can aggressiveness. Acting inde-
pendently, although to the same
end, the nations of Europe could
each construct their protective
walls to come up to the measure
of their own particular needs in
that line without conflicting with
one another.
Realizing this, says the Houston
Post, some of the high tariff de-
tenders are insisting that q tariff
closing the doors to American i'm
ports would prove disastrous to
those adopting it, This is anus
ing, to say the least, coming as it
does from q class that has for years
been demanding and working for
the commercial isolation Of the
United States. There is no deny
ing that the adoption of the policy
of exclusion will hurt Germany, or
Austria or any other country that
tries it on, just as it has hurt this
country. But that will not pre-
vent them from trying it if they
are so inclined, nor will it prevent
the policy from doubly hurting us
if they adopt it.
Under ordinary circumstances it
might be argued that if ironcla.d d
tariffs are disastrous, Europe will
abandon them after a short trial
Owing to the peculiar workings Of
these producers Of artificial advan
tages, however, they are much
more difficult to discard than to
adopt. Favored interests of great
power grow up rapidly and flour
ish wonderfully under them and
soon acquire influence sufficient to
prevent and change of policy that
might diminish their ability to
pluck the consumer or deliver
them up to the tender mercies OF
outside competition. Adopted by
European countries, the productive
tariff policy would breed trusts
similar to those now controlling
this country, and which would see
to it that their business adjustments
were not disturbed.
Viewed from the standpoint OF
our own experience, there are no
bright spots in the prospect OF
foreign retaliation. There is no
ground to hope that it will prove
impracticable; no room for believ-
ing that once engaged in it will
soon be abandoned. In fact, it is
foolish to attempt to discount its
effect, as we'll as unreasonable to
expect that it can be avoided un'
less we ourselves manifest an in.
clination to accord to others trade
facilities equal to those we would
claim for ourselves.

AT anchor in the stream; from sailing
craft and inter-Island steamers at the
wharves, yesterday morning, the Stars
and the Stripes were flung to the morn
ing breeze from every ship in the har-
Dor, in honor of the anniversary of the
birth of Washington.
Yesterday was holiday as near as
amy day can be a holiday on the water
front-unless it be Sunday. Many of the

idIeness while others toiled on in the
work of discharging general cargoes
from the dark holds of vessels or load

The biggest American flag in the pos

ton, when eight bells sounded, and at
the same time and all of a sudden, the
tug Iroquois became gorgeously decorat-
ed with over score of flags. among
which Old Glory fluttered highest and
proudest of all.
AT noon the guns on the Navy wharf
doomed forth their brave salute in honor
of the day.
