APoliceman's Love-NIaking.

Has a policeman the right to make
love TO a girl to win from her a con-
fession of crime? This is what Ser
geant Wheelwright, of the new force,
has done, and the ethics of the thing
are not bothering him at all, for he
has succeeded in recovering $4,000
worth of jewelry for Mrs. Samuel
Goldberg. Wheelwright suspected the
maid, Miss Nettie Goldman, and, hiring
out as gardener on the despoiled
woman's premises, he began making
strenuous love TO the girl. The maid
ems heart was lightly won, and in
three days she was ready to elope with
him. Then he began talking about
funds. How could they go to Paris
without a lump of money? Nettie fell
into the trap. She confessed that she
had taken the jewelry. and offered to
turn II over TO her lover with the un-
derstandins that he would convert it
into cash for their honeymoon. The
Mr.. Wheelwright locked her up. Nj
Goldman used three languages
French. German and English-to tell
the sergeant what she thought of him
but the sergeant says he does not mind.

HOLES IN THE AIR.
Invisible Pitfalls with Which Air

ships May Have to Contend.
Some very terrible accidents may be
expected to befall aerial navigators
should airships ever become sufficient
ly perfected to make this species of
travel at all common, owing to the
fact, well known TO all aeronauts. that
there exist in the earth's atmosphere AZ
certain places and under certain con-
ditions veritable holes or pits of vast
depth. An airship sailing unwittingly
into one of these aerial craters would
sink with far more certainty and far
greater swiftness than would leaden
ship of the same size and shape in an
ocean of water.
Accidents of this nature have ac-
tually happened TO aeronauts in the
past, but. of course. the ordinary bal
loon is not nearly SO much affected by
the sudden descent as an airship would
be. Nevertheless. an experience of the
kind is sufficiently disconcerting even
TO the stoutest hearts and strongest
narves.

Women. as Il rule. take little or no
interest in politics. In their view poll
tics is something for men to think of
and talk about endlessly-a subject re-
mote from the pressing daily concerns
Of the household. Say tariff To the
SHES. or summons the kindly smile
wherewith the patient sex put up with
the masculine bore.
But just the same. politics" comes
home TO every wOman's pocket. wheth-
er she knows it or not. Every dress
that you buy. madam, every hat, every
pair of gloves, everything you wear.
is made dearer by the tariff. You
have TO pay twice as much as you
ought TO for suit of clothes for your
boy because of the tariff. And those
clothes. thanks TO the tariff again, are
half shoddy. The meat on your table
scars in price because the tariff shields
the food trust from competition. Your
rent is higher than it would be if the
tariff didn't make building materials
cost so much. Its the same with your
shoes. and your husbands shoes and
your children's shoes. The very pur-
pose for which the tariff exists is TO
make things dear.
On account of this tariff the trusts
are able 10 send goods abroad and sell
them much cheaper to foreigners than
they do to you here at home. which is
a plain swindle There is no person
so poor in this country that the tariff
does not tax him. not for public reve-
nue., but for the enrichment of the IA
vored citizens that with the govern
ment's help are empowered to charge
more for the things they have to sell
than they could charge without that
help.
The woman is the treasurer of the
American home. Most husbands. espe-
ciaily wage-workers. turn their earn
ings over TO their wives. who can make
dollar 90 further than n man can.
Therefore if politics" makes the dol
lar 90 a short way instead of a long
way, who should be more interested in
politics than women? Every woman
in the land to whom the expenses of
the household are a subject of thought,
Of anxiety. ought to be personal enc
my of this price-raising tariff, for it
is 4 personal enemy to her.
And the tariff can only be changed by
politics. by men learning about its
trust-breeding and trust-protecting and
cost-lifting qualities and voting on cleo
ton day in favor of doing away with

Why They stand Together,

The allies of the beet sugar crowd
know that the tariff on their own prod
ucts Is as indefensible as that on Gu
ban sugar. They know that Cuban
reciprocity means the reduction of the
tariff on two important commodities
that are imported in large quantities.
They do not desire TO see beginning
made in lowering duties. They know
that no American interest will wish to
see this demonstrated, because it will
also prove that a reduction of the tariff
is not ruinous, as they have been as
serting.-Louisville C0urier-Journal

TreatAuLawbreakers Alike.

The hand of public authority should
be applied heavily against all riotous
strikers. And next let it fall with
equal force upon the railroad coal cor
porations, whose law-breaking, while
of more polite and elegant kind. is
none the less reprehensible. They are
breaking State law in adding the busi-
ness of coal-mining TO that of common
carrier. They are breaking Federal
law in combining to regulate output
and prices. And they are violating the
interstate commerce law in charging
unreasonable prices for the carriage
of coal. Let the lawless corporations
be suppressed equally with the lawless
striker. And beyond all this is the
necessity of action TO prevent a recur-
renee of like disaster.-Springfie

Iowa Republican Platform.

's''
The tariff revision paragraph in the
Iowa Republican platform is variously
considered The Republican organs as
Il rule undertake TO minimize it. The
Democratic organs, on the other hand,
attach great Importance to the deliver
ance. The significance of Il declara-
ton of any kind often depends upon
the time and circumstances surround
ing il, and ii cannot be denied that at
this particular time the declaration
made in Iowa means far more than the
same declaration made a year ago. 1t
is true that the platform of 1901 did
contain the substance of the tariff
plank of this year. But that was ex-
clusively local election and had moth
ing TO do with national policy. This
year the case is different. The ques-
ton is Il live and practical one and the
intention of the convention was that
the eleven Republican Congressman
who will be elected in Iowa this fall
will go to Washington pledged to vote
for tariff reform upon the lines laid
down in this platform.-BaltimOre Sun.

Roosevelt,s Indefinite Plan.

The President talks with great zeal
and earnestness about remedying evils,
which he does not define by an amend
ment which he does not clearly eX-
press. TO the constitution, which can
be amended only with the greatest diff
ficulty at any time, and not all at q
time when, as now, the people have no
ible, or what 1t could do If adopted.
1t will be recalled that in the last
Congress half a dozen bills were pre-
sented by Democratic members of the
House and Senate. and an important
bill by Republican member-the Bah
cock bill-to meet the trust evil. Even
the Presidents appeal for a publicity
bill was taken account of by these bills.
But what came of this rush of legisla-
ton. by the Republican majority in
Congress. or through President Roose-
velt's Intervention? Every scrap or
scrimpage of 1t was sidetracked; it was
not even allowed consideration; all test
votes We're dexterously avoided. The
bdptOCh UP PdithSA-
ship between the trusts and the Dingley
tariff, was suppressed. President
Roosevelt was unquestionably party
to this policy of avoidance and evasion.
He uttered no word advising action on.
or even the consideration of, these anti
trust bills. They were suppressed with
his approval.
Abandoning all attempts at legisla-
ton. demonstratiyely in the power of
Congress. the President has started out
on his stumping tour with great hull
labaloo for a constitutional amend
ment
The Presidents policy Is clearly one
of evasion and delay. He lacks the
courage to face the issue. He lodges
all expression on the antitrust bills be-
fore Congress, and then declares moth
ing can be done but by theimpossible
remedy of a constitutional amendment.
This will throw the question over until
after the next Presidential election,
leaving the President his opportunities
to humbug both the trust and anti
trust people. His party want the votes
of one section and the money and pow
er of the other.

BeyiuninC to Sec Lirht,

A protectionist newspaper in Boston
has come slowly around to the view
that there are several things in the
Dingley tariff that might be wisely re-
vised Among other things it mentions

little kindergarten beginning the BOs-

brought to recognition of the iniquity
of duty of nearly 100 per cent on the

II is remarkable how great is the

while Chairman Lemuel Eli Quigg in
the Republican State convention of
New York declared that the tariff and
the trust questions were so thoroughly
welded together that they could no
longer be separated and must consti-
tute one issue. President Roosevelt de-
clared on the same day that the tariff
and the trusts have no logical relation
with each other.-Philadelphia Record

Certainly there is no reason why
thoughtful men and women such as
we have should not reach such a
conclusion after careful thought, di-
vesting ourselves of passion and
prejudice, and then faithfully stick
to it.
Then we would have a right to
expect a revival and to expect also
conversions, not to church but to
God and His service that would
bring to us harmony, peace and the
well-being that are the natural and
certain results of such conditions.
