 There are millions in this coal strike for a good many of the Ohio and Penn sylvania politicians. They are all re- publicans, be it remembered.

An appropriate retort to the report that Secretary Shaw will resign. Oh! ,pshaw.
 It is significant of the progress re. gently made in Japan that the recent election witnessed the successful oper- ation of the Australian ballot system. China is preparing, to make an un- precedented exhibit at the St Louis fair. China has made several unprece dented exhibits of herself recently, and if she is not careful the powers will take a hand and make an exhibit of her.

The republican text book says that the republican party has increased the wages of American workingmen by protecting the product of their labor from competition abroad This is a republican campaign statement. Hut let us see how we'll it grooves in with .tlie truth. Protecting typewriters adds $45 to their cost. protecting
 sewing achines adds from $10 to $2O extra to their cost. And so with the carpenters tool box, the bricklayer's s Itrowels, the blacksmith's kit, in short. the tools of every workingman,s trade.
 And not only does it 1naKe their tools cost them more, but their beef. their coal, their bread, everything that is necessary for their well being and their happiness. They have to wear shoddy clothing because the tariff keeps out pure Woolen goods. On a thousand and one articles of everyday consumption the trusts, through exorbitant profits. made possible through the tariff, force the money out of the consumers pocket
 with which they declare big dividends
 and grow stronger in their oppression of the people. This tariff for trusts
 ouly must go.

It is reported that there are $30,000,- GOO worth of paintings in Europe be- longing to Americans who will not i'm port them because of the duty. This tariff on art is tax on education and
 cans to spend millions in Europe for the purpose of studying the very art which the tariff bars out of this coun- try. We should keep these people and their money on this side by removing the tariff and offering premium on genuine art importations. -s

The New York banks say they are short of money because the west and south have drawn on them to move the crops. Secretary Shaw offers to re- feve. the situation by helping the banks east and west, and now the western banks go on record as saying that they not only have all the money they need, but are looking for good investments for their surplus. Why do not the western banks buy some of the stocks that their New. York brethren have boosted and thus make everyone happy, ~'-s 's5:E :s-=

Isn't it rather q unique coincidence that almost simultaneously with the publication of the statement of Chair man Griggs, of the democratic congress sional committee, when he said that President Roosevelt was the best stump speaker the democratic party had this campaign" that the president should find tariff abscess on his leg which compelled him to abandon his itinerary of partisan stump speaking? There be strange things that happen in the theater of politics.

Children chase butterflies and build sand houses and thereby develop strength to do a life work. As we grow older we are prone to indulge in chasing the rainbow and building cas- ties in the air. And this inclination is not. all bad as some stern moralists tell us. Even though we never catch the rainbow,s even though our castles fail to find a foundation. we. are uplifted and strengthened for our real work in life Man is a working animal, but his best work is. done with his eyes be- holding the rainbow and his. hope moulding the clouds of sunset into ethereal palaces.

A GAMBLING SYSTEM

It Was Good Theory-The Practice
 Was Different. Only last summer theorist watched for several successive nights the rou. lette game at Saratoga and conceived a system.
 "The bank saves itself by it's limit" :" he said. If could persuade the pro prietor to take off the limit I'd beat the game..'
 Seeking the proprietor he pre-erred his request.
 aGot a system?' asked the proprie- tor with a winning smile.
 A winning system, was the reply.
 All right, then; I'll take the limit off for you''
 Now this great system consisted in playing red or black, no numbers, and doubling the loss and repeating the winning bet. Thus. if he chose red to play he bet $1. Losing he bet $2; los ing this he bet $4. If red then came up he would win S4, being one ahead, and repeating his $4 bet if red followed he would be s aliead This successive turn up of the color he bet on lie had calculated, based on his observations. would occur if " times in 100 and make his winnings, for he would change his color every time he went back to his initial bet On the night of his experiment. he chose red to begin on and black won. More than that, black turned up seventeen con- secutive times. On his tenth play he weakened, for two things broke on his mind: First, that if he did win that bet his profit would be only $1, and that if the run continued he would need the capital of bank to play. He was out as 1t was $1 ,O23 Fortunately for him he was man of wealth.
 If he had continued to double to the seventeenth bet he would have been $131,071 out. On the eighteenth turn red came up and his bet would neces- sarily have been $131 O72, when his net winnings would have been a single dollar The next turn was black. So out of nineteen turns eighteen were black. His system had gone to pieces on the first application. Yet after he stopped the run Of color was about as he had counted on for an hour. "It has cost me $1 ,O23 to realize that there is nothing but caprice at the bottom of chance" was his comment Washing ! ton Times.
