In days of yore, in baby lore

There runs a tale of Shaftoes voyage
Across the boundless sea.
His love was true: his eyes were blue,
Like gold that's finely spun,
Beneath his brave tarpauiin shone
His bright locks in the sun.
He sailed away one summer day.
His heart was light and free,

And buckles at the knee.

NOT AlCHILD OF PROTECTION.

The high protectionists find some
satisfaction in asserting that the
Standard Oil Company is not a child
of the protective tariff That fact, in
their estimation, is apparently, conclu-
sive that trusts are not fostered by the
tariff.
1t is true there is no tariff on pstro-
foreign kerosene to come in COMPETE
ton with the domestic article. This
country is the greatest producer of
coal oil. That article is, of course.
produced in other countries, but not in
sufficient quantities to justify an
attempt to invade the market of this
country. The Standard Oil Company
has a monopoly of the coal oil bust
ness in this and some other countries.
According to the general understand
ing that company and the great Rus
sian coal oil monopoly have divided
the markets of the world between
them. The Standard Oil Company
therefore, does not need protective
tariff. 1t does not need any tariff. 1t
can put its prices as high as it pleases
without inviting competition.
1t is ,. mistake to assume that be-
cause the Standard Oil Company is
able to establish monopoly in oil
without a protective tariff, such a tar
if does not assist other companies and
corporations to become trusts. If the
Russian coal company was trying to
find a market for it's product then a
protective tariff would be of great as
sistance to the Standard Oil Company
in maintaining it's monopoly. If the
tariff were taken off of steel products
the Billion Dollar Steel Trust would
not then be able to fix prices for it's
products at whatever it pleased.
We do not undertake to say that
there is no reason for an increase in
the price of kerosene, but it is doubt
full if there is reason for such an in
crease as has taken place within the
last month or two. The Standard Oil
Company says there is, and 1t points
to the great increase in the price of
petroleum, but it is worthy of notice
that there has been no decrease in the
enormous dividends which it, pays. 1t
looks as II the company ought to bear
some of the increase in the cost of the
crude product instead of saddling the
whole of 1t on the public: instead, in
fact, of putting up the price of the
refined article so much that II is pos
sible to pay even greater dividends
than it has been paying.
The action of the STANDARD Oil Com
pany, in increasing the price of kero-
sene, presents an argument why the
government should have the super
vision of trusts-should in fact, con-
troll them. With such control IL would
be easy TO determine whether or not
the increase in the price OF kerosene
was justifiable.

Congressman Loud of California
was badly beaten in the race last No
vember. On his way East to attend
the opening of Congress the train on
which he was travelling was partially
wrecked. A colleague congratulated
him on escaping serious injury and
Loud replied: "Oh, that was nothing
after the wreck / was in on election
day"

No public document bearing King

Immediately. Thus the King is kept
busy. and sometimes overworked, even
on his holiday trips.
Congressman John Wesley Gaines
of Tennessee has habit of making
absurd remarks. The other day he
said Mr. Speaker, what will be the
effect If the enaeting clause is stricken
from this bill?" The House roared,
for everybody knows that the easiest
way to kill bill is to strike out the
enacting clause. Mr.. Dalzell, who was
in the chair, said: Perhaps the gen.

chicken cross the road" But Mr..

An uufortunate Greeting.

and the meeting was naturally cordial,
says the Chicago Post. They were
both comparatively young men.
Married." asked the one with the
cane finally.
Yes" replied the one with the UNI
brella rather shortly.
Might have known it," exclaimed
the man with the cane. You always
were a great fellow with the girls,
especially these little, demure ones.
Say! 1 have your wife pictured in my
minds eye now. She's petite and I'M
sophisticated-one of the willowy
trusting kind that has to be sheltered
and protected"
The man with the umbrella was un-
easy, but the other did not notice it.
ANY children?" he asked.
"One"
Boy or girl2''
Girl"
The man with the cane laughed glee-
fully.
"A papa" he exclaimed "A papal
And you so young Oh, me! oh, my!
When 1 think of that girl sitting in
your lap and calling you papa it
makes me want to marry, too. Say!
I'd give a farm for peep into your
domestic circle, just to see that girl
going ride-a-cock-horse on your knee,
and"
well, you wouldn't see it," broke in
the man with the umbrella holly.
Il wouldn't?''
mo, you wouldn't you grinning idiot!
/ married a widow with an 18-year-old
daughter, and if you waited a thous-
and years you wouldn't see Jeanette
doing stunts on my knee or hear her
calling me papa"
We'll, by thunder." muttered the
man with the cane as the other stalked
away. And l thought I was jollying
him just right, too. A fellow can't be
too careful in this world"

The Ministers Union at Hamilton,
o., has communicated Santa Claus.
He is an imposter. the union says;
theatrical old imposter who ought to
have no place under Christian institu-
tions. But has the union anything
better to put into his place? Would IT
wipe out every myth and make-believe
in the world? II it could do any such
thing, it would revolutionize civiliza-
ton. and the union itself would be
pretty apt to suffer severely. The old
proverb of straining at a gnat and
swallowing a camel would seem to
apply il this instance. The immense
amount of good that Santa Claus does
makes the harm he may do infinitessi-
NAL by comparison. II the Minister'S
Union of Hamilton, O., has no greater
evil to fight than the children's saint,
it had better disband and go out of
business.

insisted that there should be no eXecu-
tive interference with the legislative
branch of the government. He also assail-
ed the organization of the house for lead
ing the party into disaster. and declared
amid tumultuous applause that he would
decline to follow blindiy when the lead
ers blundered.
He went over the testimony of Mr..
Havemeyer, president of the sugar trust,
before the industrial commission, in sup
port of some of his arguments, and paid
his respects to some of the members OF
the ways and means committee, who, he
asserted, have changed their positions on
the reciprocity question within the last
few weeks.
AS the evening advanced, considerable
asperity was manifested. The opponents
Of reciprocity seemed confident of ma
jority, and were anxious for a vote, while
the friends of reciprocity counseled
against precipitate action.
Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois, chairman Of
the appropriations bill, who followed Mr..
Smith, made an appeal for harmony ard
strongly advised against hasty action.
Seeks to Avoid Agitation.
The welfare of the party, he urged, de-
manded that a solution of the problem
satisfactory to all should be found. He
said that the Sibley proposition would be
satisfactory to him, as personally he IA
vored a limitation of time for reduce
ton of duties on Cuban products to run.
He was followed by Mr. Dick of Ohio,
who favored an abandonment of the rec
iprocity scheme, saying the country was
prosperous, and agitation should be
avoided.
Speaker Henderson came forward with
a plea for party harmony, and moved
that the caucus adjourn until next Tues
day.
Mr.. Littlefeld, of Maine, countered this
stroke by proposing to amend the speak
ers motion so as to eliminate Tuesday
which if carried would have resulted in
sine die adjournment of the caucus.
The amendment was lost, 81 to 49, and
then the speakers motion to adjourn until
next Tuesday prevailed, Y to 81.
The beet sugar advocates claim a
Strength greater than the vote showed,
saying the speakers appeal carried
enough votes to cause another recess.
During the caucus it developed that the
administration was inclined to accept the
Slbley proposition.
