SEASON OF SUMMER ExcURsIOSs

VIII soon be- In Fall BIast-ExOdus TO
Seashore, Lakes and Mountains Soon
To Begin.
The season when begins, excur-
sions and vacations of the untor-
tunate mortals who are destined to
work $50 days year In order to Sc
cure the reward of a weeks vaca-
ton, Is near at hand. and the trav-
cling passenger agents of the rail-
roads are busy and pamphlets ex-
plotting the merits of various sum-
mer resorts are being scattered
broadcast throughout the land.
The all absorbing topic of the
average Sistersville resident Is
where to spend the days In which
he Is permitted to forget this toll.
The excursion season begins about
June and continues until Septem-
Der I. There Is no end of resort
where vacation can be delightful
ly spent and Sistersvillians differ
greatly In ideas as TO what Is the
best resort az which to enjoy ones
vacation so that they go In every
direction. some preterriug resorts
where Can be found quiet and rest
and others having a prediction
for places where there Is a whirli-
gig OF pleasure.
The railroads are beginning to
advertise excursion rates, but 1t
can be said on the authority of
severalrailroads ficials seen by a
Review reporter yesterday that
there will be no change In rates
this year and they will be practi-
cally the same as last year. The
prevailing time limit to Atlantic
City, to where the great bulk #
Sistersvil1e excursionists go, will
be sixteen days. 1t has not been so
long since the limit was ten days.
Sistersville sends hundreds of ex
cursionists to the seashore every
year and this year will be no ex-
ception. Atlantic City Is great
favorite for many who like to bask
In the sunshine and dip In the surt,
and particularly with the philan-
derer Is this resort popular as they
like to meet the pretty girls from
all points there and enjoy the great
Atlantic City pAstime of flirting.
Many object to Atlantic City be-
cause, they say, 1t Is not a place of
rest and those who go there are the
worse for wear than the day they
leave.
Next to Atlantic City 1t IS prob
able that the Great Lakes are
most popular with Sistersvillians.
The islands and shores OF the lakes
abound In delightful summerlng
places aud picturesque aud beauti-
full scenery, where one may indulge
In piscatorlal proclivities, excurt in
the palatial steamers or enjoy the
manifold pleasures afforded The
land lubber."
To those who desire to combine
pleasure with education are Mt.
Lake Park, Lake Chautauqua, Our
own Moundsville camp grounds
and other resorts, and Sistersville

tired readers may be spared an intermina- :
bile search through an appalling heap of
literary rubbish to find the really good

These have called forth sort Of

of many milder lovers OF literature justly

their actual value. No doubt he con-

those whose sense of proportion is keener

did net overlook the error made by the
statesman from Utah. When the time
came for him to defend the army in the
Philippines he said, after quoting Raw
Inns:
Mr.. President. the great astronomer and
mathematician Copernicus died at the age OF
10, in his bed, canon Of the church, in the
bosom of the church. and his great work
about the revolution of the celestial orts was
only published to the world as he lay dying.
He was never tortured. 1t is possible
Senator Rawlins tried to interrupt at
this point to say that he meant Calico,
not Copernicus, but Senator Lodge cruel
iy continued:
1t is possible Mr.. President, that the sena-
tor was thinking of Calico. but Calico re-
canted. and lived ten years longer. Laugh
teri So that as the story applies neither to
Copernicus nor Galileo, it must be some other
tortured astronomer the senator has in mind.
ILaughter.J All, Mr.. President if the senator
had only told the right story of the right
man, If he had only described Gahleo reciting
his recantation and then as he arose from his
knees muttering under his breath the famous
words which have come down to posterity, the
senator might have taken that golden oppor-
tunity to teach the party to which he belongs
the lesson, which they seem to be as slow in
learning as the Roman curia in the sixteenth
century, that the world moves. [Laughter.]
And Senator Rawlins said not a word
more, while with this very auspicious in
PRODUCTION Senator; Lodge went on ''from
these fascinating historical studies" to
make strong speech in defense of that
splendid army in the Philippines whose
principal offense is that it has been vic

A SUBJECT OF VITAL INTEREST

From time to time T h ourn.a has
called attention to multiplying evidences
that no time is to be lost in undertaking
reciprocal trade arrangements with Can
ada if we wish to have measure Of cor
dial corporation in the work in. some
quarters, at least, on the other side Of
the line. - r-E : = - =:
+ Although much discussion and agitation
of the question have not yet brought out
any effort on the part OF the federal gov
ernment to take up this important
economic and political question. it is in
disputable that there is no problem in
volving the external policy Of the coun-
attention. The way to get official action
is to keep up the unofficial agitation and
discussion until statesmen and politicians
find that they must do something.
We cannot afford to lose the profitable
Canadian market while straining after
markets where the competition is fierce.
What we have got in Canada has come
almost without effort. Perhaps that Is
why we do not value it SO highly as
we might. But when, through increasing
tariff preferences for British goods and
increasing tariffs against our goods, we
find that we are losing this market, we
shall appreciate it.
1t is a good policy SO to direct our efforts
that we shall increase our trade with
Canada and make the process agreeable to
the Canadians instead of irritating, as
it undeniaby is to some elements in
Canada now.
A reciprocity convention held in Min
neapolis and attended by. business men,
publicists and lawmakers from both sides
of the line who desire an Improvement in
the tariff regulations that restrict trade
between the two countries, would be OF
inestimable value in awakening the public
to the wisdom of early action on this i'm
portant subject. Minneapolis has a great
interest in reciprocity and it will ere long
become "a pressing necessity She should
be foremost in the work OF promoting the
good cause.

AND THERE Was LAUGHTER

When there is In the United States sem
ate such scholar and historian as Henry
Cabot Lodge it becomes, senator's from
the wild west or the impetuous south to
get their bearings before they illustrate
their speeches with citations from history.
If Senator Rawlins OF Utah had recol-
lected that there is nothing Of any conse-
quence in history since the days Of
Cheops' dynasty that Senator Lodge is not
familiar with he would not in describing
the administration Of the water cure"
have said:
While in that situation the interpreter,
doubtless compelled to perform this infamous
service, stopped over him and said, "Gonfess,
confess. z It makes us think OF Copernicus
when he was subjected to the torture and
thrown down, They wanted him to announce
that the world did not reyoiye upon its axis,
and was promised II he would say5so that they
would let him go, or else they would take his
life, and, he refusing to say SO, they took his
life.
But the senator from Massac chusetts,
though he maintained silence at the time,
