''The American steel workers

ers anywhere in the world" The
true test Of wages is the amount
of products turned out for the
wages received. The American
worker in steel turns out three
to four times:as much product as
similar workers else where. No
one has yet proved that he gets
three to four times the wages
paid foreign work1nen in similar
lines. The same argument applies
to many other manufactures.
Such men as Governor Cummins
of Iowa and Governor Lafollette
of Wisconsin believe the tariff On
steel products should be reduced.

In the records of the United
States industrial Commission, in
the testimony of Charles M.
Schwab, occurs the following pas
sage:
"Question: Is it fact general
ly true of all exporters in this
country that they do sell at lower
prices in foreign markets than
they do in the home marke?-An-
swer. 10y Mr.. 5chwab.) That is
true, perfectly true"
In the face of such evidence,
will the republicans persist in
deny ing the fact that prices on
American made products are
cheaper abroad than at home?

THE COURTESY OF A JUDGE.

", long since Judge Pool of New York had occa-
sion to call to court as witness, Mrs. John Van
derpool. Her presence was desired for only a few
minutes but she objected to entering the court
room because of the bad air.
Mrs John Vanderpool is rich-very rich. She
has money enough to command influence, for it is
true that the mere possession of money is power.
Mrs Vanderpool is also very old, having passed her
eightieth milestone. This Judge moved his court
out on the sidewalk, asked Mrs Vanderpool the
questions he deemed necessary in the open air, and
then sent her home. After that some mud batteries
were turned loose in his direction, and he was de-
nounced as trucker to wealth, man who would
upset the routine of peoples court to satisfy the
notions of a woman who had a million.
Most women have motions when they are on
the other side of 80. The who is a real man
will respect those notions, if he He'll accept
personal discomfort and trouble because an old wo-
man asks it. The Chinese are barbarians, but they
are sublime in their love for the aged The respect
they show to parents and the courtesy which they
invariably pay to old men and women of high and
low degree are worth studying and emulating.
1t is good to believe Judge Pool cared nothing for
Mrs John Vanderpool's money, and that IN his
breast is stored a large quantity of Chinese virtue
He did kind act and does not deserve criticism.

President Roosevelt did the right thing when he
declined to re-appoint a negro to a Georgia post
office, the president having first satisfied himself
that the incumbent was obnoxious to great MAORI
ty of the patrons of the office.
In dealing with it's own people the government
should show the same consideration that it does
in dealing with the peoples Of foreign countries.
Whenever from any cause, one of our representa-
tives abroad is obnoxious, the country to which he
is sent notifies the government at Washington that
he is not welcome. 1t does not specify why he is
Objectionable, nor in what he has offended. The
simple statement that he is not wanted is sutic lent
Our government does not enquire into causes, but
Immediately recalls the representative and sends
another in his place.
The people of the United States are certainly en-
titled to the same courteous treatment No man
should be foisted upon people or a community
who are violently opposed to him. President Roose-
welt showed good common sense and also spirit OF
courtesy that is commendable in giving to the Geor-
gia town postmaster who welcome to the cltl-
zens. If the president will but continue the good
work the people of this section will return the COM
pEment by being less critical when it comes to a
little off color indulgence of his own tastes.

PECULIAR MURDER CASE.

DR.. Orvlle S. Burnett of Chicago has been found
entity of the murder of Mrs Charlotte S. Nichol of
Nashville. Tenn He is recommended for a sentence
of Is years in state prison The is peculiar in
MANY WAYS. The man who stands convicted of MUIR
der is not supposed to have lifted his hand against
the dead in any but the most atfectionate manner.
The two were sentimental idiots who yielded to an
inflammation for each other and betrayed the faith
and love of those to whom they were pledged as
husband and wife by law of God and man. An ext
gency arose which threatened to separate them and
interrupt their shameful liaison. They resolved
that if they could not live together they would die
together. and see if there was satisfaction in
that.
They attempted suicide together ina Chicago no.
tel The woman succeeded, the man failed. The
law regards suicide as a crime, and in many cases
inficts punishment upou those who attempt it..
The law not only forbds any person to kill another
but it requires each individual to all possible
care and diligence to prevent Others from commit
ting murder even when it takes the form of sef-de
structon To neglect to do so, when one is perfect
" able to prevent the commission of the crime,
makes the negligent one an accessory to some de-
gree 1t was the duty of Burnett to prevent Mrs.
Nchol from killing herself. His consent and agree
ment makes him offender against the law in con-
nection with his own attempt at self-destructlon,
but it also makes him accessory before the fact

HOW HE STANDS IN WASHINGTON.

Under the heading of "a friend of New Washing
tom the Washington Times Of the 4th inst. has this
to say concerning man who is very close to the
people of Florida:
''No member in the House takes more lively in
terest in the advancement and improvement of the
National Capital than Representative R. W. Davis,
of the Second Congressional district of Florida. In
the language of Mr. Davis, the Capital belongs to
the nation, and Congress should deal with it as a
national possession If the Improvements proposed
by the Parking Commission are carried out by Con-
gress, he said, then indeed will Washington be the
most beautiful city in the world. 1t will be, he
said, exactly what its founder intented, city of
magnificent distances.
'Mr. Davis is serving his third consecutive term,
and as recognition of his ability Speaker Hender-
son paced him on two of the most important COM
mittees of the House, Interstate and Foreign Com
merce and Merchant Marine and Fisheries These
are Woodworking committees and they are called
upon to consider questions affecting the entire well
fare of the country. When the ship subsidy bill
comes before the house the statesman from the
Second Florida district will have something to say"

to how the ring was to be redeemed
before Lowery should note it's abb
sence. She took her weekly allow
ance from her husband Saturday
night and put $3.50 of it away in a
bureau drawer. LOwery went out,
and when he returned he found his
wife on the floor, her hair in dis
order and her mouth gagged with a
clean, white hanCk rchief. When the
gag had been removed, Mrs. Lowery
told thrilling story of how three,
bold masked colored men had enter
ed the room, attacked her and car
ried off the $3.50. Lowery informed
the police, but before they got to
work Lowery told them there was no
use in looking for the thieves. Hi
wife, he said, had admitted that she
had fibbed to hide the fact that she
had pawned the ring and he had for
given her.

ECCENTRIC MANS WILL

Postmaster Daniel Conklin, an &C.
centric resident of Buchanan on the
Hudson, in his will has left all his
property to five young girls of that
village. 1t will be bitterly fought in
the court, according to notice of a
contest served by his two children
and eight nephews. Conklin was rs
years old, loved to play games with
the girls of the village, and was often
seen enjoying a game of tag with the
heirs of his property. Among his
favOrites, whom he called my child
rem" were Ruth Handley, Blanche
Sherwood Mackey, Viola futile,
Rosie May Cole and Clara May Risk,
and to them he gives his wealth in
equal shares. Two of the young
heirs are cripples, and Conklin often
said he wished he could take care of
them during their life, as he felt ser
ry for their affliction.

SAFETY OF THE MAILS PROVED

a
1t was left to Long Island City
man, a travelling salesman for New
York shoe house, to demonstrate in
a most unique manner the safety of
Uncle Sans mails. The expert
menter, w. T. Geissenger, was at
Braddock, Pa, several days ago, and
the conversation with a salesman of
foreign birth turned upon the alleg-
ed dishonesty of the United States
postal servants. Geissenger at once
took up the cudgel He said the SER
vice was the best on earth and he
would prove it. 81 can send this sill
yer dollar through the mails as it is,
and my young daughter will get it
tomorrow" he said. "You nor your
family will never see the coin again."
was the sneering answer. Geissen-
ger pasted slip of white paper on
one side of the dollar, on which he
wrote the address of his daughter,
and, taking it to the postotfice in
company with the cynical salesman,
placed cent stamp on the bare face
of the coin and rendered it to assis-
tant Postmaster John Lowers as
merchandise" Postmaster Christian
Sheets told him it was all right, and
yesterday Geissenger received a let
ter from his daughter, thanking him
for the present.

ELLEN STONES BRIGHT FUTURE.

The offer of an American magazine publisher to
paw Miss Ellen NJ Stone $35, 900 and royalties for
series of six articles is the less surprising because
it is directly in line with the literary demands of
such publications. Miss Stones story may be very
interesting although the meagre details that have
been given out do not indicate that it anything
but commonplace except in its international as
poets. Certainly such an offer is hattering and
now that the missionary is safe and sound, it looks
as if $4,000 would be pretty far compensation for
her six months of hardship. 8ut this offer is only
the first one. If Miss Stone desires to take adyan
tage of the opportunities there other methods of
proft. After the magazines have been exhausted
