And Now We Have the other FriIIs.

Having abandoned the blue. settled
the shade of our army uniforms to
conform more closely to that of the
British imperial legion, we have at
last secured an army staff. For the
benefit of those who don't know what
an army staff is. ii is perhaps well TO
explain that it is Il company of presi-
dental favorites. who, seated. at Il
mahogany table. decide how a battle
several thousand miles off shall be
fought by Il man who * on the scene
and who. it should he assumed. would
know more about how the fighting
should he done than all the peg ar
fists in christendom.
During the Spanish-American war
we had sort of army staff. They
were seated in Washington and cabled
bothersOme stuff TO Dewey. The lat
ter cut the cable so that they would
have the opportunity to play domi-
noes. and then, acting on his own
Judgment. went in and wiped the
Spanish fleet out of existence.

powers the president TO commission

staff may select brigadier for com

On the occasion of sad anniversar-

are gathered the best and most last

The DingIey Tariff and Prosperit,

The New York World presents "A
singularly conclusive argument on
certain leading points in the great
tariff controversy, while many volum-
nous speeches have failed To make
the matter equally clear. Says the
| World:
| Quoting the Worlds figures show
ing the great increase in freight traf-
fic within eight years past. the Troy
Press remarks:
The World, for the sake of consis-
tency, should do one thing or the 9th
er-stop printing such solid and stu
pendous proofs of unprecedented
prosperity under protection, or else
drop its tariff-smashing editorials in
to the waste-basket.
Our contemporary, for the sake of
intelligent discussion. should make a
little effort at self-educatiOn. and
learn a few hard facts like these:
Il. Railroad traffic'S greatest in
crease was under much lower tar
itf-from 1873 to 1890. During that
time it doubled. Under the Dingley
tariff it has not approached that rate
of increase.
freight traffic of the past five years is
due to the greatly augmented exports
of grain, provisions. cotton and other
unprotected products of the farm.
''3. Exports of protected pro-
anufactures-have not in
creased as fast under the higher Ding
ley as they We're doing under the low
Ell Wilson tariff, and their contribu-
ton to the increased freight traffic
has been relatively less.
Our Troy contemporary should
study Thomas B. Reeds last article
on the tariff question in the North
American Review. In it he admits
that the advantage given to 1900
beet-sugar growers is the only clear
and conspicuous case of benefit to
the farmers by the Dingley tariff. Yet
farming supports clear majority of
the American people. How. then. can
ii be true that all the prosperity in
the land is due to the Dingley tar
iff?"

Substitutes for Coal.

Necessity is the surest promoter of
invention. The recent coal strike
causing the prices to advance to al
most beyond rAach has resulted in the
granting of over 1000 patents on ma
chimes to burn either oil or gas The
necessity for a family medicine that
could be relied on absolutely in cases
of stomach, liver and kidney ailments
led to the introduction of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters so years ago. Today
it is world famed as n cure for loss of
appetite, insomnia, nervousness, fiat
ulency, Indigestion, dyspepsia, consti-
patton and biliousness. Try a bottle
and be convinced of its value. 1t con-
tains nothing that will injure the
most delicate system, and is therefore
specially adapted for restoring
strength to those who have become
weak from long sickness or those in
need of a tonic. Don't accept sub
stitute.

But the Publfc Must Paw.

The public, which pays the cost of
all industrial disturbances in the end,
is just beginning to realize the bill it
is going to have to pay for the anthra-
cite coal strike. The event started
an endless chain of causes, which pro-
misses to bring about the final effect of
permanently increased price of all
kinds of fuel. One event impinges on
another and that knocks down
third brick of causation. Winter scar
city of anthracite puts up the price in
spite of all efforts to keep it down.
But this increase of price will be a
new argument for increase of wages
before the commission. Should that
decide for the miners. the increase
would certainly be permanent, as it
may be in any event.
Meanwhile the scarcity of anthra-
cite increases the demand for soft
coal. and dealers take advantage of
this to put up the price. The soft
coal miners make this an argument
for demanding increased wages, and
are threatening to strike if they
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1903-01-10

should be denied. If the soft coal
wage scale is raised, the high price
may be expected to be permanent.
Other kinds of fuel will be affected in
the same way in lesser degree.
In this way the final cost of the
anthracite strike, to be paid by the
people. will be many millions of dol
lars a year for an indefinite time
Just now the general public is more
concerned in getting coal TO burn
than i'm the price il pays for il. The
increase viii bear very severely on
the poor in great cities already near
TO the starvation line. Charity is
helping these through the winter;
though charity is a bitter source of
means of living. :

The passage of the primary election
law remanding to the people the nomi-
nation of state and county officers, and
that by plurality vote-will necessitate
a waking up on the part of the electors.
If the masses of voters are as Indifferent
as they have hitherto been, the new sys-
tenn will result in passing the offices over
to the most eager of the seekers who or
ganize for themselves a following and
diligently push their candidates.. This
will lead to dissatisfaction but it will be
incoherent and unorganized. The peo-
pie must guard against this by new
modes of organization and party work.
1t should not be left to mere scramble
of office-seekers running footrace to Sc
cure the plurality where host are push
ing for the same office. It should not be
left so that syndicate of aspirants can
form combine and work for each other
in circulating nomination papers and
pulling together at the primaries. The
fellows whose boast is that they are not
in politics for their health are not put
out of existence by ending the system
of delegate conventions. They will adapt
themselves to the new conditions.-Mad-

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20. 1908.

EVIDENTLY the railways of the state
do not intend to be held up for higher
taxes by a prejudiced legislature without
presenting their side of the controversy
in the fullest manner possible. A bureau
of information has been established and
circulars sent out giving the railway ar
gument in lucid manner. The latest
bulletin, No. 5, attempts to show that
the tax commission has greatly under
estimated the total wealth Of the state,
and hence it's conclusions that the rail
ways own one-eighth of the property an
error. A comparison is made between
the figures Of the commission and the
census returns of 1900, showing quite a
wide variance. The gist of the argu-
ment is that railway property is nearer
one-twelfth than one -eignth of the total
valuation of all wealth in the state. 1t
has already been shown that the rail
ways now pay one eleventh of the tax,
which, according to this showing, is
more than their share.

Where Cobras Are Held to Be Sacred

Where CObras Are Held to Be Sacred.
The Hindoos on account OF their SUI
perstition are very loath to destroy Il
cobra. 1t appears prominently in their
mythology, and it is venerated both as
a symbol of q malicious and destruc-
tive power and also a beneticent one.
According to Mr.. A. Is. Forbes, cobras
are looked upon as guardian angels,
and there is Bengalese tradition that
a male infant auspiciously shaded by
cobra will come to the throne.
