abuse the public of The idea that
there will he any tariff legislation
4 inimical to the interests of the
trusts and as a result the party is
badly divided today and will be
still more so in the near future.
With this Situa ion in the Repub
lican party, Mr.. CleNeland's strong
words on the tariff have had an
invigorating effect on the Demo
Gratis and have brought out few
of the old timers whose influence
is considerable and whose c0ntrl
buttons to the campaign fund go
as far as any0ne's. Mr.. Cleveland
has declared that the party is
"face to face with great Oppor
tunity" and that the fall elections
are "but the skirmish lines Of the
great contest of 1904" and the
Democrats appear to have ac-
cepted the statement and are miss.
ing no opportunity to strengthen
those lines. 1t is clearly apparent
that if the Republicans can main
tain their present majorities, on
the ''let well enough alone and
the "staud pat" slogans, the lead
ers will soon be following up the
precedent set with the tariff and
telling the people that the trusts,
like the tariff, are a blessing in
disguise. Already it is said that
the trusts must not be disturbed
because it will interfere with the
wOrkmen they employ and the
same argument has been used in
regard to all tariff protected in
dustries, but those same workmen
are beginning to appreciate that
even TO be employed is not an un-
mixed blessing when the condi-
tions make for such high prices
for the necessities of life that they
are unable to make both ends
meet.
Secretary Shaw's persistent adj
vocacy of the Ship Subsidy bill is
not likely to make many votes for
his party, especially i'll the West.
His contention seems to be that
because the government subsi-
died the transcontinental rail
roads il should subsidize the
transOceanic steamship compa-
MES. The difference is so appar-
ent that it must appeal to the most
shallow thinker. And too, the
record Of the governments efforts
to help the transcontinental rail
roads is not one to be proud of.
AS is always the case when the
government turns philanthrOpist
with the peoples money, it got the
worst of it, The close connection
between the railway interests and
those Of Mr.. MOrgan's big ship.
ping combine are well known. In
fact they were exploited to Eng
fish investors to induce the invest
ment of capital in the shipping
trust. and it is apparent that after
lighting an isthmian canal to the
bitter end, aud AT last being de
feated, the railroads intend to
forestall water competition by mo-
nopolizing the transportation ia
cilities. IL Is for help for this pro-
spectiye monopoly that Mr. Shaw
is so pathetically appealing, aud
II is safe To say that the majority
of the people will not approve his
course.
IL is gratifying to learn that the
Republican leaders in Delaware
admit that they are defeated and
thar hy their eoquetry with Gas
man Addicks they stand an ex-
celleut chance Of seeing two Dem
ocrats representing their State in

The Sensible Traveller.

A man when travelling has the com.
mon sense to ''do himself WELL" even
if dining car luncheons and dinners
add to the cost of his journey. A wom-
an will nibble bun and sponge cake
and have cup of tea ON the boat, ar.
irving at her journeys end utterly wea.
ried out for want of proper food.
Travelling is so fatiguing," she says
as she pulls the blinds down and pre-.
pares to spend the day in bed. Mean.
time her next door neighbor, who had
a breakfast on the train or dined well
on the boat, arrives bright eyed and
brisk and goes off to golf for the day,
with dance in immediate prospect.
Some women learn these things after
little painful experience. Others new.
er do.
The Women Men Like.
There are many different ideas re-
garding what special virtues in women
are liked by men. One observer says
that, first of all, one must understand
that what they like are not always
the same thing. A man is often at
tracted by bewitching smile, but a
good tempered woman in the end has
the greatest hold on him and wins his
respect. 1t is Il mistake to think that
In these days men prefer brainless,
silly women. On the contrary, they
like those who have bright, quick
brains, who take an interest in things
around them and can talk sensibly on
subjects in which they themselves are
interested, though if the women pos
sess superior knowledge on any one
topic they will do well to keep that
fact in the background and play the
part of Interested listeners-Detroit

hill, N. H., April 10, 1911, but went to
Llttleton in 1925. The press reports of
her death say that she studied at St.
Johnsbury Academy, but by this is prob.
ably meant the st. Johnsbury female
seminary which was Incorporated in
1924 and continued is years until it was
merged with the Academy which was
founded IN 1912. After leaving the semi
nary Mrs. Merrill taught school for sew.
eral years in Bath and Littleton, and
married Mr. Merrill in 1884. Their
golden wedding anniversary was cele-
brated IN 1884 and Deacon Merrill died
the next year. She had been a constant
member OF the Congregational church in
Llttleton Tor 81 years.
That this New Hampshire girl caught
something OF the gentle and kindly spirit
that must have pervaded the seminary
under the administration Miss Almira
Taylor aud other teachers who wrought
SO much for St. Johnsbury in its
earlier days, is shown by the following
paragraph from the Littleton Courier:
Always the friend of the poor and at
tilcted in the days ere advancing age had
narrowed the sphere of her activities she
was persistent i'll her efforts to supply
their wants and alleviate their suffrrlngs.
For many years she was a constant visi-
tor at the bedside OF the sick and a COM
torter OF the widow and the tatherless. !"
