TARIFF REVISION AND DEMOCRATIC VICTORY
There is ample justification for the confident be-
lief now being widely expressed to the eject that an
aggressive campaign the dominant issue of A reyi-
sion of the tariff and the consequent remedynR Of the
trust evil will result in the election Of q Democratic
Congress.
Present conditions assredly indicate that the

and others under their control who had dared to ad

ever, they have not silenced the people The issue
Of tariff revision has received thoughtful discussion
and consideration and the majority Of American
voters are now arraysd asnst the Republican party

HE STARTED THE TROUBLE.

The recent visit of Senator Fairbanks of Indiana
TO Kansas City has called forth the expected fubdub
from the Republican organs in the western part of
Missouri. Numerous interviews and effusvely COM
plmentary comment followed his short stay.
This is all very funny to observers. 1t has been
only few short months-a year ago last February.

annual banquet Of the Young Mems Republican Clubs
in Kansas City He was the star attraction His
speech was ''the speech"

evening. Every ons was in good spirits. In such
good spirits were they and such good spirits were in
them that when the CoIonei then recognized as tie

ised the support Of the Missouri delegation to Senator
Fairbanks for the Republican Presidential nonira-
ton in 1904 there was much hurrahng. DE Boss,
had spoken and his words sounded well to Missouri
Possmazters.
OF all sad words, the saddest are those which
might not have been. SiI months after the National
Committeeman had presented Missouri to Fairbanks
Theodore Roosevelt was President That little
speech Of the Colonels was recalled. Roosevelt had
been looking for delegations and Missouri had not
been on hand
Explanations have done no good The Fairbanks
episode started the great ght for control of Missouri
patronage. A small bunch Of anti -Kerensites in Kan
ass City. who had organised Roosevelt Club shortly
after Fairbanks had attended the Kerens banquet
are now in the saddle In the western part OF the
State. All the Federal o1css in St Louis have been
taken away from Kerens. Most Of the Postma sters

BuI introduced which Would Pre-
vent Docking o. His Tail I'm Dis
trIct of Columbia.

Senator Gallinger's bill making it
unlawful for any person to dock the
tail OF horse within the District of
Columbia was introduced at the in
stance of the Washington Humane
society, which recently passed reso-
buttons thanking President Roose-
Welt for his determination not to
have u pair of short-tailed carriage
horses Several pair that were 9TH
erwise satisfactory were rejected be-
cause they had short tails, and the
presidents bold stand on this ques-
ton was heralded far and wide.
What the Humane society did not
know at the time it passed the reso-
buttons, and what Senator Gallinger
does not know yet, is that President
Rooseve't's favorite riding horse,
Bleistein, has had his tail locked so
closely that there is not enough left
10 wagge.
However Mr.. Gallinger's bill pro-
vides just the same that after il be-
comes a law every locked horse in
tie district shall be registered and
laat after 90 days from its passage
any person driving an unregistered
docked tail animal viii be held ia
have violated the law and shall be
liable to a fine Of $500 and 80 days in
Jail for each offense.

These islands are small ip terri
torial extent, in population, and 10
resources; but they have strategic
value, and our Government has
preferred that they should not pass
from the control OF Denmark,to that
of an ambitious European naval
power. The harbor Of Charlotte
Amalie is probably the most FREE
quented port in the West Indies,
many vessels Of various nationali-
ties using it for coallng purposes.
The group consists Of the three
principal islands of St. Thomas,
St John; and Santa Cruz, with nu-
merous smaller islands and rocky
points. The total population Of the
group is said to be about thirty
two thousand, of whom perhaps
only one-sixth are of pure white
blood. The negro popu'alon, how
ever, is said to be except 'nally in
telligent. The English language
is commonly spoken IN the islands,
and general conditions are rePuta-
BILE and orderly, the climate being
healthy and the productions those
of the West Indies in general. The
island of st. Thomas is important
solely on account of the great ex-
cellence of the harbor of Charlotte
Amalie. The island of Santa
Cruz however has an agricultural
character, and at one time its
sugar plantations were prosperous.

HYPNoTIsM BECOMES A FAD,
Several OF the students of Syracuse
University BECOME Experts in
the Mysterious Art.

The students of Syracuse uni
versity have taken up the fad of hyp-
notisn, and several have become ex-
pert in making their fellow students
do all sorts of funny stunts" The
experimenting was started by j..
Richard Street, professor of psych-
ology, who is a firm believer that
hypnotism win come to be used le-
Ultimately in many useful ways. He
taught his stundents how to hypno-
tie, and encouraged them in their
experiments.
At the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity
house the boys perform in manner
highly amusing to spectators. The
star hypnotist there is A. S. Hur-
rell, of the class of 1904, who is an
expert hypnotist. He gave an exhi-
bition before several people, and sue
ceeded in putting f. A. Lowther,
1902, into a hypnotic state, and has
his fellow student completely at his
mercy. Hurrell says he can hypno-
tie anyone.
