"Haying Eyes, They See Not"

The world is just a vast picture gal
lery.
The paintings hung on its walls are
by the Great Artist.
Your pictures by "the masters" be-
side these, are only daubs of imita-
ton.
The real pictures worth looking at
are the Giving pictures"
Note some of the pictures, framed
by the windows of the houses, on your
morning walk.
There are all sorts OF frames, some
broidered with lace and dim with plate
glass, some of solid and narrow panes,
some wide open to the passing glance.
Here is one window sketch:
A mother stands in the center Of a
group of children.
She is putting the last touch to their
toilet before they set off to school.
Look into the mothers face. Look
into the faces Of the children.
The picture stays on the retina and
warns your heart.
Here is a portrait:
A maid is washing the panes Of
glass.
Her unadorned beauty is adorned
the most.
In her face are high spirits and good
cheer, health and grace are in her un-
conscious pose.
In the portrait you see an apotheo-
sis of the Willing Worker.
In it you see that all work ought to
be a thing Of beauty and a joy forever.
Another window and another picture.
This Is a fine one:
A young man kissing his mother
goodbye.
You see at a glance that he is a
drummer"
The love that makes the world 60
round Is in the mothers face.
You are a better man for having
looked at that face.
And here is a cartoon:
Two boys with brooms are being
drilled by a pompous third.
You smile and walk on.
A glimpse through the panes shows
a maiden, doubtless before a mirror, 6
scowl on her face, combing her hair.
You write Disgust" below tn.
sketch in black and white.

IrAKE from the Post rsnatch:

The first fruit of the new constitu-
tional amendments is seen in the an
nouncement Of the school board that
free books and stationery will be
furnished pupils Of all grades. The
rule is effective at the beginning of the
next school year.
The cost is even more trifing than
the public has been led to believe.
The superintendent estimates that the
cost of supplying very child in the
fifth, sixth, seventh and eight grades
will be 1927, 900 the first year and $12,-
500 for each Of the following two years.
The annual cost of free books for the
higher grades will be the same, $12,-
500, and the total annual charge for
new books, stationery, all grades, and
kindergarten supplies is estimated at
$45, 500.

that "the campaign of education" it
began has ended In this "great bless
ing to St. Louis" But 10 it a blessingp
Is not it's tendency altogether evilP
It's a mighty inferior citizen who de-
ponds upon the State for his living
and the accessories to his existence.
The good citizen, the citizen who is
worthy his estate, is the man who
provides for himself, and exactly as
he places his own natural burdens
upon the back Of the State, in so much
is he less worthy and useful. The
free-text-boo k heresy is in the nature
of an object-lesson to the children and
youths of the land, teaching them the
monstrous doctrine that the State, and
not the parent, " the pupils them
selves, must provide the things neces-
sary to their material progress through
life. 1t is a most vicious doctrine tc
a free people, who are supposed tc
possess the attributes and the man

The New York Sun, a rabid, thick
and-thin Republican organ since the
death of the lamented Dana, last
month gave voice as follows:
During the late armed resistance to
United States sovereignty In the Philip
pines, the public demand that rebellion
and its .barbarities be put down with

terms was almost universal, and it pre-
vailed. We were spared the humili-
alton and the damage to our authority
involved in our submission to those

Pennsylvania is in a state Of anarchy
beyond the power of her entire Guard
to control; and yet instead OF an ire
sistible demand for a restoration Of
law and order without compromise,
not a few people, among them public
officials Of high rank, are holding soft
conferences with the representatives Of
disorder and, directly or indirectly,
positively or negatively, some are even
throwing the weight Of their influence
against the objects Of their enmity.

Passing of the Protective Tariff Age.

The industrial world Is fast amalga-
mating into one family, and the lines
Of empires no longer serve as the
horizon of commercial outlook and the
limit of trade expansion.
Modern application of steam and
electricity in transportation and COM
munication Is fast annihilating dis
lance, wiping out radical projudices,
reducing climatic differences, and 30
bringing all mankind together in the
same mart and into genial understand
ing among the peoples of the nations
of one a rother'su commercial needs and
capabilities.
Great business houses nowadays are
world institutions, with branches in
the commercial capitals Of every con.
tinent. ~
Within the decade we have seer the
trusts expand from state to interstate
and now to international scope and
operation.
1t is an evolution that to the trade
OF our country at least means little
short Of revolution.
In this new perspective, the protec-
tive tariff, which has never been re-
garded as better than a necessary evil,
must become recognized as an intoler-
able handicap.
Men of all parties who are broad
enough to rise above mere partisan
politics are beginning to see and to
say that If American industrialism Is

mercial supremacy with a fair chance
the tariff shackles must be taken from
its hands.
Among such men is Frederick G..
Howe, a Republican, the law partner
Of two sons OF James A. Garfield, q
deep student and a good citizen.
MI. Howe has an article in the cur
rent number of the atlantic Monthly,
entitled, "The End of an Economic
Cycle" in which he ably shows that
the age Of the protective tariff in this
country is passing.
He takes a broad view of a broad
question and speaks with the boldness
that Its seriousness demands.
He points out that all history shows
a steady westward shifting of the
center OF world exchanges. The
march that began with the beginning
of civilization about the rivers of Mesa.
potamia has continued through Pho
necia, Greece, Constantinople, Venice,
Florence and the Netherlands to Lon

within the mark in anticipating that
New York will be the clearing house
OF the world within a comparatively
few years and that we Of this country
have now reached a position not un'

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.


All doctors have tried to cure cat
arrh by the use of powders, acid
gases, inhalers and drugs in paste
form. Their powders dry up the
mucous membranes, causing them to
crack open and bleed. The powerful
acids used in the inhailers have en-
tirely eaten away the same mem
branes that their makers have aimed
to cure, while pastes and ointments
cannot reach the disease. An old and
experienced practitioner who has for
many years made close study and
specially of the treatment of cutarrh,
has at last perfected treatment
which when faithfully used. not
only relieves at once, but perma-
nently cures catarrh, by removing
the cause, stopping the discharges,
ana curing all Inflammation. 1t is
the only remedy known to science
that actually reaches the afflicted
parts This wonderful remedy is
known as "Snutfles, the guaranteed
catarrh cure" and is sold at the ex-
tremely low price OF One Dollar,
each package containing internal
and external medicine sufficient for
a tull months treatment and every
thing necessary to its perfect use.
"Snufflcs" is the only perfect cat
arrh cure ever made, and is now rec
ognized as the only safe and positive
cure for that annoying and disgust
ing disease. 1t cures all inflamma-
tion quickly and permanently and is
also wonderfully quick to relieve
hay fever or cold in the head.
Catarrh when neglected often
leads to consumption -" "Snutfles"
will save you if you use it at once.
1t is no ordinary remedy, but a COM
pletc treatment which is positively
guaranteed to cure catarrh in any
form or stage if used according to
the directions which accompany
each package. Don't delay but send
for it at once, and write full particu-
lars as to your condition, and you
will receive special advice from the

DEVELOPMENT or RESOURCES.
Organized and Concerted Action Necessary
to Its Success.


w ID. Curtis, editor OF Pacific
Coast AdUertising, Of Los Angeles,
writes as follows III regard to the
upbuilding of communities
An organization OF some kind is
necessary in order for u group of
men to work harmoniously together,
but it is also the handiest way in the
world for group OF men to shift re-
sponsibihty and get rid OF work
1t is a matter of record that the
Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce
is one of the best organized and most
effective in the West. Secretary
Wiggins is in frequent receipt of re
quests for the bylaws under which
the work is carrie u on and tor data
concerning certain features OF the
work. The success OF the Southern
California exhibit at recent great ex-
positions has thrown its work into
strong reliei.
Now the chamber III It small COM
munity cannot hope to accomplish
things OF the same magnitude as
have been taken up by the Los An
geles Chamber of Commerce, but you
must not lose sight OF the TACT that
they are relatively just asimportant
and that they arr relatively Just as
easy of accomplishment and no more
expensive.
Perhaps you will not be able to ad-
yertise in list of Eastern magazines
intending settlers to whom you can
send printed matter, as the Los An
geles Chamber OF Commerce does
every year, But il is entirely feast
bic tor a certain group of bodies rep
rcsenting county or section to do
this. The San joaquin Valley Com
mercial Association should be able
to work out such plan, and any
group of towns whose interests are
similar could doubtless do ii.
Do not get the impression from this
that | think that the main purpose
Of such an organization is 10 place
advertisements in Eastern puhlica-
tions. BY all means no. That is
simply one feature OF the manifold
labors which lie before such an or
point at which to begin. There are
plenty OF things close to hand which
must be attended to first.
What would be the sense i'll in
viting people to settle in your COM
iuunity when their first visit there
might shock them over some OF the
conditions which you have neglected
and which might have been corrected
by concerted action, | say first of
all, make your community what it
should be as a place to live III and
place to do business in. Now Just
"what it should be" is a point that
no one can knoW so well as the lead
ing business men of the town-the
men who should be in control OF
your Chamber of Commerce. 1t is
question to be decided entirely by |
local environment,
Prepare figures and institute care
full comparisons between your own |
town and other towns situated SINH
Iarly. IT you find that your town is
ioing less for the surrounding coun-
try, and consequently is not in good
