The lingo Spirit.

The reason for the speech of Presi-
dent Roosevelt at San Francisco in
which he made so strong a plea for a
greatly enlarged navy and other prep
arations for war is now apparent.
His friend Senator Lodge delivered an
address at Greenfield Mass. in which
he spoke Of dangers from without due
to our great industrial growth and
power.

of organization and production than

are driving less highly organized and
less energetic peoples to the wall.

President. Roosevelt and Senator
Lodge are evidently agreed that siren
uous steps are necessary to preserve
this country from the united opposi-
ton of Europe either politically by
tariffs and others forms of protection
or by the more resolute method Of war

navy. the army and the other con-
comitants of expansion. But If they
are sincere in their advice and really
fear this country is in such great
danger. it would seem that they should
take their fellow citizens more into
their confidence and say how soon the
attack may be expected and what
country will take the lead in Gripping
us. Bu3 are they not Mistaken Can
any country or a combination of them
gain anything by such a move? Eng
United States for almost her daily
bread can have no such intention.
France has always been our friend and
besides is having hard work TO make
both ends meet without the far great
er expense OF war. Germany is in the
midst OF social revolution and the
growing power Of the people is such
that her vast ornaments are more
likely to be decreased than To inaugur-
ate a war that would drain her re-
sources 10 the utmost. Russia could
make no stand against rs on the sea

ment who could harm Us?

Pat Outwits the Devil.

An Englishman, Scotchman and an
Irishman fell under the power of the
Evil One, who condemned all three to
be hung, but allowed them to select
the tree ON which the suspension was
to be effected. While the Englishman
chose an oak and the Scotchman a
pine, the Irishman selected a goose
berry bush. On the devil waving his
hand, the three selected objects duly
appeared and the representatives Of
England and Scotland were forthwith
strung up. When it came to the Irish
mans turn his Satanic Majesty walked
around the bush and said: I'm afraid
it is not tall enough on which Pat
exclaimed, "Oh, bedad, I'm in no hurry.
l can Just wait till it grows"

Trust Control and Publicity.

The new department Of Commerce
and labor has been very busy for the
past few months, but the principal
business accomplished has been the
appointment of Republican patriots to
good fat Jobs. The trusts, combines
and corporations have 50 far not met
with any encouragement from the new
department and commerce and labor
have not received any encouragement,
but the chiefs and the large army OF
clerks are receiving their salaries with
great regularity. All Of which IS said
to be giving great satisfaction to the
administration and as the demand for
patronage has been so much dimin-
ished by the number Of good places
that have been filed we are prepared
to credit this statement. The only
advance towards that publicity which
is TO do so much towards controlling
the trusts. according to President
Roosevelt has been the scrutiny Of the

Belinda soon will be a bride;
Her gown is white, writes she;
A crepe de chine of finest kind,
And fits entrancingly.
The bodice has two hundred tucks
And fifty yards of lace,
Put round the yoke and down the front
And every other place.
Teh skirt is shirred all round the top
And flares out at the feet;
The whole thing. so Belinda says,
Is just too simply sweet.
Belinda writes me pages ten,
And all are much the same;
She's told me everything except
The happy bridegroom's name.

thinner waist with fuller sleeves shows
in many examples a decided inclination
to blouse at the front. Be sure that the
waist is securely fastened down at the
back, for the exceeding thinness and
Ightness of the materials of these gar
ments make it likely that on a windy day
enough air will get inside the waist to

Other Departments Need Probing.

Other Departm euts Need Probing.
While the public eye is conferred on
the postoffice scandals it is well to
remember that other departments of
the government need probing just as
badly and perhaps even more So
What little has come to light about
the inside workings of the war de-
partment have shown that corruption
and cruelty have had full play In
some of the bureaus. Secretary Root
is a smart politician and so far
he has been able to keep from the
public the baneful doings of his de-
partment, but it is quite probable that
before a few months have passed
more light will be thrown on some
of the transactions. Gen. Miles will
retire in August and will then be free
to give his attention to some of the
abuses that have come to his notice,
which he has called to the attention
Of the Secretary of War and the
President, but have never been made
public. The procedure in the war
department has been similar to that
of the postoffice, namely, to make light
of charges and dispose of them, by al
lowing those interested in suppressing
investigation, to report that q most
exemplary condition prevails. The
land department also needs inveshga-
ton for the cattle barons are still al
lowed to hold the settlers by the throat

their barbed wire fences around hun

The American Protective Tariff
League, an organization composed Of
1000 protected manufacturers who
pay 500 year each in dues and who
contribute generously besides, is send
ing thousands of circular letters
throughout the country in an endeavor
TO secure the names OF all first voters
in 1904. The letter says that "a great
number of young men do not look upon
protection as vital interest to them
selves and to their country. No time
should be lost in placing in the hands
of such young voters a series of pro-
lection literature especially adapted
Young voters, when you get the num-
erous pamphlets which will be sent
to you at the expense of these pro-
tected manufacturers, ask yourselves
few questions like the following:
/. AS l am not manufacturer why
should vote for tariff duties which
prevent competition from foreign man
ufactured goods and enable American
manufacturers TO form a trust and
obtain higher prices?
2. How can a duty on goods protect
labor?
3. With labor on the free list and inn
migrants floclIing to this country I'M
checked at an average rate of 1900 per
day, why should | vote for a system
to make goods dear and increase the
cost of living?
4. Being farmer and knowing that
the prices Of grains are fixed in for
eign, free-trade markets, why should l
vote to maintain q bogus tariff on
wheat and corn, which scrtes as a
cover to the genuine protection ON
manufactured goods?
5. Why should manufacturers who
are selling goods all over the world
at free trade prices be encouraged by
high tariff to sell the same goods
here at 90 or 100 per cent. higher
prices?
6. Why should / vote money out of
my pocket and into the pockets of the
protected trusts?
Z. Does the Protective Tariff League
think that we young voters are ever
lasting chumps and that we can be
duped by its thinly disguised sophis-
try?
These and other similar questions,
taken before and after, will render
tariff league literature inocuous and
harmless even when taken in ton
lots. The worst thing that could hap.
pen to protection and its beneficiaries,
the manufacturers, is to start tariff
discussions in our oranges, labor
organizations and homes. The Tariff
League is supplying its sophistry to
5000 papers every week. 1t has kept
steadily at this work for fifteen years.
Its members have become millionaires
and -millionaires in the mean
time. They are interested in having
the farmers and workingmen believe
that all Of our prosperity, our good
crops, our fertile soil, are due to pro
lection" They know well that PRO
lection" enables the trusts to skim
the cream off our prosperity and leaves
only the skinned milk for the far1u-
ers and laborers. But can we blame
them for asking us to support this sys-
tenn? We can stop the tariff plumber
ing when we know and vote for our
own interests. Why not do 1t?
