Porto Rico was prior to 1898, and
what her representation in the Span
ish parliament amounted to, will dis
count Mr.. Gomper's conclusion that
the United States government has
treated the island unfairly, and that
what her people chiefly need are rep
resentation at Washington and more
complete system of home rule. These
things will come in due time; but
what Porto Rico requires more than
anything else-and it is here that we
are at fault if at all-is aid from this
country to tide over the distress
which inevitably followed the change
in her political and commercial rela-
tions. Mr.. Gompers has probably not
overstated the poverty and depression
now existing in the island, but the
American people, or the government
they have provided for the Porto
Ricans, cannot justly be blamed for
the situation. The remedy must be
found chiefly in the enterprise and en-
ergy of the insular population, and it
may be confidently assumed that
whatever aid the United States can
give will be extended whenever the
way is pointed with sufficient clear
ness.

Canadian Reciprocity.

The movement in favor of reciprocl-
ty with Canada will not down. At a
late meeting of the Boston Mer-
chants association it was resolved
that we 'reaffirm our belief in the
wise policy of entering into reciprocal
relations with other commercial mar
kets of the world, especially with Can
ada and Newfoundland, as increased
trade with them will add largely to
the prosperity of New England, as
well as to that Of other sections Of
our country"
President Mellen Of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford road lately ad-
mitted that reciprocal trade relations
with Canada would increase the bust
ness OF the New England states, and
whatever increases the business pros
perity Of those states would improve
the general business situation.
We need the lumber, iron, steel and
raw material Of Canada and the mari
time provinces and they need the
New England markets for their manu-
factures.-Boston Globe.

STRANGE FREAK OF NATURE.
"sheep.Eater's Monument" In Gold
REGION Of Idaho.

0HCCB-6ahSi mOildtuCuA WIN
Region Of Idaho.
One Of the most remarkable natural
curiosities on the earth Is to be seen
in a rugged and almost inaccessible
part of the newly-opened, but already
famous Thunder Mountain gold region
in Idaho. This strange freak of ma
ture is called "Sheep-eater's monu'
ment," and is said to have derived its
name from a tribe of Indians formerly
inhabiting the district.
The mountain is seventy feet high
and consists of rough shaft, com.
.rosed Of boulders and gravel, tapering
slightly upward, and capped by huge
irregular rock, whose weight Is esti-
mated at not less than fifty tons. The
cap rests on slender projections from
the shaft that are gradually being
worn away by the elements, threaten
ing the eventual fall Of the great
stone. The monument stands on the
slope Of ridge which rises 1000 feet
and descends 500 feet from the site.
1t was undoubtedly formed by erosion.
The surface of the declivity has been
for centuries, and is yet, being washed
away by water, the result Of melt
ing SHOWS and rainfalls.
Originally the capstone was sta
toned on the ground, but gradually
the soil surrounding 1t was carried
away, a narrow vertical section just
under 1t being left intact, owing prob
ably to some hard cementing sub
stance in the conglomerate and posi-
bly, also to the direction In which the
eroding torrents expended their force.
How long time was required to form
the shaft may De only partly realized
when it is stated that there are trees
not far away taller than the monu'
ment. AS the eroslve process con-
tinues, the shaft is likely to increase
in length unless a soft spot should be
reached under the present surface, In
which case the curious formation
might topple over and break into
pieces.-Montreal Herald.

London Bullseye.

Lewis C. bennett Of Saco, Maine
has a London bullseye watch, which
is nearly 200 years old.
The watch was owned by Isaih Den
nett, grandfather of Mr.. bennett. The
watch was made by Thomas Spruce
Of London. While the watch has not
been running regularly for some time,
a jeweler said that he could repair 1t
so that It would keep as good time as
any watch made to-day.
There are in the inside case many
slips of paper which give the dates
that the watch has been cleaned. The
last time, according to the paper, was
in 1917, when Edward S. Moulton
clock and watch maker OF Saco, did
the work.

Railroads in the PHILIPPINES.

Secretary Taft recently gave the
house committee on insular affairs his
views as to railroad construction in
the Philippines. They have been mod
flied slightly as the result of the Sec
retary's recent conference at New
York with men who probably will put
money into roads in the Philippines If
they can get sufficient guarantee.
The bill, drafted by Chairman Coop
er OF the insular committee after con-
sultation with Secretary Taft and for
mer Secretary Root, authorizes the
Philippine government to issue rail-
road aid bonds to certain amount or
10 give a guarantee that capital in
vested shall yield minimum Of 4
per cent per annum. The secretary
now suggests that the Philippine gov
eminent be authorized to guarantee 5
per cent interest on bonds or stocks,
the total liability not to exceed ST.
100000, but that if that offer be not
accepted the local government shall
ne authorized to issue per cent
bonds to an amount not exceeding
$4,000, 900 and build the roads itself
and operate or lease them.
Apparently Secretary Taft has
learned that per cent guarantee
will not tempt American capital. It
would If the roads were to be con.
structed in this country, but the more
remote the place where the capitalist
invests his money and the greater his
unfamillarity with local conditions the
larger the interest rate he insists on.
1t may be that when the Philippine
bill becomes a law that the money
per cent guarantee will not be attract
I've. Hence the manifest wisdom of
the alternative proposition, which is
not in the Cooper bill, that the Phil
ippine government itself may build
the roads.
Railroads are imperatively needed.
They are the best Of missionaries In
the archipelago. They will serve to
civiliae, pacify and enrich the people.
They will have great strategic value.
They will lessen the number Of sol
diers needed. More than that, they
will cheaper greatly the cost Of trans
portation from the interior to the sea-
board. Extensive districts where moth
ing intended for expectation can be
raised prohtably will become popu-
lous and productive.
II authority to build railroads can
not safely be intrusted to the present
Philippine government new men
should be appointed to whom II can
be intrusted. But as a matter OF fact
the men now in Office can be depend
ed on to do the right thing If only
they are given a chance to do 1t. Con-
gress should accept Secretary Taft's
revised conclusions.-Chic Trib-
une.

VICTIM OF NOVEL ACCIDENT.
Woman Awakens to Find Herself on
Top of a FREIGHT Car.

Top of Freight Car.
Mrs. Joseph Callowitz went to bed
at her home at Centralia, Pa, and
woke up in the morning on top of a
box car.
The car, one of an extra west-bound
freight train on the Lehigh Valley rail-
road, jumped the track at Railroad
street and Locust avenue, on the
northwest corner of which the Gallo
WITT restaurant and residence is To-
Gated. 1t turned at right angles with
the track and plunged into the build
ing. 1t cut swath eight feet wide
through the barroom.
The car was so high that 1t reached
the first floor ceiling, and as it dashed
into the house it tore out the floor of
the room above the saloon, in which
Mrs. Callowitz and an infant were
asleep. The car roof took the place
of the floor, and Mrs. Callowitz's bed
settled firmly upon it.
Trainmen and neighbors came to
her assistance and by means Of a
plank she reached a rear room with
her infant and secured clothing, She
was uninjured, beyond slight cut on
the nose.

EFFECT OF AUTO RACING.
French Doctor Says It viii Produce
Elongated Brain.


Elongated Brain.
A debate recently took place In
Paris between brain specialist and
an eminent physician as to the effect
high speed auto racing had upon the
brain. There was marked disparity
in the views set forth, and this has led
to much discussion on the subject.
The brain specialist predicted that
motor maniacs will be represented In
the insane asylums in the near future.
There are few already there, and he
contended that many more should be
confined although driving their cars
unmolested at the present time.
It remains to be proved how fast
the brain is capable of travelling; II 1t
cannot acquire an eighty-mile speed
per hour, then an auto running at the
rate of eighty miles per hour is run
ming without the guidance OF the
brain, and the many disastrous results
are not to be marveled at.
If this be true, 1t must be said that
automobiles run remarkably we'll alone
and without the aid Of guiding brain
for even at their best speed not more
than 20 per cent of them meet with &C
cldents, and a large percentage oil
these are due to defective machinery

The second is the name OF n small

from the old song why Not To-
nlght?" 1t is said that an interesting
religious revival was once held In this
locality, at which this song was sung
a great deal, and the people became
so carried away with the music that
the place was ever afterward called

HAS ISSUE AT LAST
DEMOCRACY LIFTED FROM THE
SLOUGH OF DESPoND.
Gen. Miles the Discoverer and "Patrl-
otism" the lssue-Surely an Essen
TALLY Democratic observation-disclosures
It They Car Claim Everything.
At last an issue for the Democrats

At last an issue for the Democrats!
After vainly casting about fol-
months, after fine-combing the recent
history of the Republican party, and
exploring the ruins of all past ma
tional works, the Democrats have
finally got an issue. Gen. Nelson A.
Miles discovered it. Where, when
and how are details not given. Let it
suffice that the party has an issue.
Now indeed can it have something to
talk about, an excuse for holding a
convention.
The issue is Patriotism.
Gen. Nelson A. Miles located it, cap
tured it. and sent it under special
delivery stamp to Grand Rapids,
Mich. How he ever came to select
that town no one can surmise. What
with floods, darkness, wrecked homes
and deserted factories, Grand Rapids
had troubles of it's own, but round,
fat burgher, named Doran, gave shell
ter to the newborn issue and an
nounced it to the world and democ-
racy. Patriotism is the issue. 1t is
essentially, peculiarly, indivisibly and
eternally Democratic doctrine.
Sound the bugles for the past! De-
mocracy has an issue.
Gen. Miles read two Fourth of July
speeches, five schoolboy orations and
William Alden Smiths speech at the
fiag-raising at Sparta Center before
he undertook to introduce the issue,
through the medium Of Grand Rapids
and Burgher Doran. The Miles Gre
dentials to Doran and &c. Raps" have
the right ring. They ought to get the
hand at every period.
Here, for instance, are magic lines:
"The change from oppression to lib
erty is wrought by violence, but the
change from democracy to despotism
is quiet, insidious, subtle and fatal"
Whittier are we drifting?
The spark which fired that line was
of the same fire which stirred Will
lam jennings Bryan's recent prophecy
Of the terrible impending conflict be-
tween capital and labor.
Indeed we need patriots in this
crisis. Patriotism, logically, is the
paramount issue.
Old Rome, France and Kokomo
were searched by Gen. Miles for pow
der to shoot the patriotism rocket.
The Democratic party, it is evident,
v i'll claim the flag, the declaration of
independence, the constitution and the
little red Chicago Jour
nal.
