Your eyes shall lock upon a face
Calm IN eternal sleep;

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Ledger 0nd.) says:
Socialism can never make much head
way in a free and enlightened country
II the people exert their intelligence
and examine the subject thoroughly A
great many persons have feared that
we might plunge toward socialism
blindly, but we are inclined to think
that their fears are not well grounded,
and that the whole people, If social
ism were to come under examination
and debate. would deal It as telling
blow rs it received at the hands of
the Federation of Labor"
The Age-Herald Dem.) of Birming-
ham voices Alabama's fear that Sec
rotary Taft's mission to Panama is
really to arrange for the little repub-
lies annexation to the United States,
and proceeds from this idea to reason

land and tiny Panama. holding. at

The Louisville Courier-Journal
(Dem) says: Ex-Governor Black OF
New York who nominated Roosevelt
for President at Chicago. occupies Just
now an embarrassing position. Nat

A pefective Memory.

Mrs. Ferguson had just returned
from an entertainment. and was in
ecstacies over a young woman elocu-
ZIONIST who had taken part in it, says
the Chicago Tribune.
"she had on a trained gown OF dark
purple velvet" she said with bodice
trimmed in deep cape collar of real
Irish lace and lace cuffs. She wore her
hair Dompadour and had diamond
cluster at her throat"
What did she recite?" asked Mr..
Ferguson.
Something about little girl whose
mother lost her in the park, or some-
where. I've forgotten the name of II.
You know well enough what a wretch
ed memory I have. But It was awfully
pathetic. What are you grinninR
about, I'd like to know"

There is woe in st. Louis and per-
turbation throughout Missouri. So
ciety is torn with doubt and unsatis-
factory speculation. There is no peace
or happiness in the land. At a Worlds
Fair banquet the other day. so 1t is
reported, President Francis ate his ice
cream with a fork. while one OF the
distinguished visitors used a spoon.
Manifestly, faux pas was committed
by somebody. But who was it? If a
fork is the proper thing for ice cream.
then a spoon is a solecism, and vice
versa. But there seems to be no sat
isfactory authority TO settle the ques-
tion. Under the circumstances it seems
that the st. Louis people viii have to
go on eating their ice cream with
knife.

Lea Park to make it one of the finest

A LESSON FROM THE PRICE OF
BREAD.

In an interview with Sir Walter Fos-
ter. a member of the English Parlia-
ment, which we published yesterday,
the statement was made that a loaf Of
bread in England made of American
flour costs just half as much as 1t costs
in this country the loaves of course
being of the same size. Doesn't that
explain, to a great extent, why 1t is
that ships can be built in England
cheaper than in this country and why
English spinners almost monopolize the
trade of the world in cotton goods,
notwithstanding the fact that they
have to get the bulk of their raw
material from us?
And clothing in England is a great
deal cheaper there than here, and so
are house rents. 1t is a safe PROPOSE
ton that an English workingman gets
about all of the necessaries of life for
very much less than they can be had
in this country. That is because of
our high protective system, a system
that enables the great manufacturing
home market at exorbitant prices and
permits them to sell them in the for
eign market at from a quarter to a
third less than they are sold at home.
We pride ourselves on the fact that
wages in this country are far higher
than in England. but. as a matter of
fact. is II possible for a wage-earner
to save much more here than there?
Because living is so much less in Eng
land the wage-earner is able to work
for smaller wages and because he does
England is in a position to build ships
cheaper than we can build them. and
to take from us s1OO.OOO,000 or more
annually in ocean freights.
What great benefit to the wage
Garner is higher wages If the cost OF
living is such that he is able to save
little or nothing? Wouldn't he be
just as well off with less wages If the
cost of living were such that he could
save just as much as he does now,
and at the same time, live just as
well?
nc BVAa NlbBeA III AidHhd betS tnucn
higher wages than are paid in the gold
mines OF Colorado, but he doesn't have
as much at the end OF the week as
the Colorado miner does because he
has to pay twice as much for the neces-
saries OF life.
When the matter is sifted to the bot
tom it viii be found that the greater
part OF the benefits of the high pro-
tective system goes to the industrial
trusts. The protective system enabled
Mr.. Carnegie TO accumulate $500. 900, 900
In about twenty-five years. Indeed
there is a big crop OF multi-milnon-
aires who owe their fortunes to the
tarihf schedules for which the Republic
can party Is responsible.
