WHERE HE FAILED.

We have never been fully satisfied with that John Smith and Pocahontas story. By all the rules of the game in such cases made and provided John was bound to marry the girl. There he was. if we are to believe the story. bound to block. or something just as good. waiting to be smashed. There stood grim old Powhatan with the club of Hercules raised to do the smashing. No doubt he was picking out the best place to hit, and John was wondering how it would feel and if there would be any of him left for the coroner to sit on.
 But there was trump to be played which neither of them counted in the game. It is likely that John. even while he was waiting for the clubbing to begin, had some thought of the girl who had already done him and his peo- pie some favors. and was wondering what had become of her. He probably thought she might at least come out and see him off. That she would dare to interfere in the game and stand off the old man would be the last thing the victim would expect. but she did it in good style aud her trump took the trick. The old man was bluffed and the clubbing stunt indefinitely post poned.
 Now we repeat that all the rules of the game. all the requirements of ehivalry and all the concomitants of romance, united in the demand that he should marry the girl. According to the legends of the day she was beau tiful. of high birth, and dead stuck on John. If he had married her he would have made himself solid with the high muck-a-muck. her father, and might eventually have gotten into the king business himself. And think what eff feet 1t would have had on the futurei The descendants of Pocahontas, thou- sands of them, are proud of their an- cestry and boast of having descended from a princess, but if they could at the same time hark back to John Smith. it would have added another button to their coat-of arms. John failed to take advantage of the best chance of his life. and we are almost disgusted with him.

quality of discernment. which win ena- bie her to differentiate between the pupil who has natural mathematical mind and the one to whom the simplest problem Is stumbling block. she is invaluable. And The New Bedford Standard shows how this eood quality of patience extends it's influence. thus:
 We have no doubt that this teacher has helped more than one student to be an accomplished mathematician, and that is well; but she must have helped hundreds to admire and to emulate her quality of patience. and that Is im- mensely better. Patience Is a quality which all Americans sadly need all their lives through: good many Of total darkness as to quadratic equa- tions. Any teacher who has ambition for the widest and most permanent in- fiuencs would better emulate Miss of her good quality as an importer of information would be slight.
 This is a more extended view. but 1t is correct one. The teacher who practices "infiinite patience" with hef pupils will necessarily instil more or less of the same quality into them to be of value in the battle of life. It was an axiom of an eminent French writer that ''he that has patience may compass anything" and whether we go to that extent or not in our belief in the virtue of that rare quality. which Disraeii called "a necessary ingredient of genius" most of us know its value, and most of us can remember times and occasions In our school days. when we would have been much happier and much more successful in our studies. if the teacher had possessed and practiced some of that which Miss Price possess ed in abundance.

r..roLLrrrr ANp FOLK.


 There is some talk in the East about the candidates of the two great parties for the Presidency in 1908. Judge Parker has very solemniy declared he will not be q candidate to succeed him. self il. heJs elected. Roosevelt has not made any such declaration himself and his family. we understand. counting confidently upon his winning this time. are already debating his prospects as the candidate of the Republican Party in 1908. The family expect him to be elected in 1904: they would appear to know he will be a candidate in 1908 and the only question that concerns the family just now Is how strong will he probably be then, in an appeal to the country.
 It Is not too far cry to talk of 1903 because in peculiar way two young men have advanced themselves to a foremost place. Folk of Missouri, and LaFoiietts. of Wisconsin. before the eyes of their feliow-countrymen.
 Folk has taken by the throat corr rupt ring in the city of St. Louis. He is now q candidate for Governor of the State of Missouri, with every as- surance of success. We venture at this great distance in time from 1908 to say Folk will not be the nominee of the Democratic Party in that year. There are too many prejudices alive and &C., tive at the North against the South for it to be possible that Southern man could with wisdom be placed at the head of, the national Democratic ticket; especially when that Southern man has fixed his home in Southwestern State.
 LaFollette presents far more in- teresting case. He Is a Northern man as we determine the style of such statesman, and he Is also Westerner. LaFollette stands for one proposition and up to this time he has won out on his proposition. namely: that cor porations in wisconsin should pay their fair share of the taxes needed to carry on the government of that State. He stands for a proposition that is alive there and must become more and more alive throughout the country.
 Can he capture and dominate the Republican Party with this idea? If he can, then the Republican Party must change utterly and totally the character of its organization. It lives breathes and has it's being through special privileges and exemptions, con ferred at the expense of the body of the people of the United States. La- Toilette thinks an end ought to be made of this system and he has whip ped the corporation people out of their boots in Wisconsin. Can he do as much in the national arena? We are quite persuaded he cannot. When you abolish corporation influence in the Re- publican Party. you abolish the Party itself. Irrespective of the result of the present campaign, 1t is clear that the great contest of the future will be between the individual private citizen and the combinations of capital. call them trusts or what you will. that have captured the government and are ad- ministering it h the interest of private rather than public pockets.

Huntsville Mercury.

For the information of the outside world, it Is due our people that The Mercury say the editorial in The Even ing Tribune of last Friday denuncia- tory of Huntsville cotton mills, and that no more are wanted here, does not represent. the sentiment of very large majority of our best and leading citizens. On the contrary. our people very generally welcomed and labored in securing the location of the mills we have here, and will be glad to see many more come in. While condi- tions may not be, in all respects. as we would like to see. we undertake to say the mills here in every respect will favorably compare with those of any other community in the United States. The condition of the operatives, as to schools. churches. libraries and other helpful agencies, have been greatly inforced and no doubt will continue to be made better in the future. and this expense is borne by the owners Of those properties. As The Montgom- cry Advertiser says. our evening con temporary must have been looking through blue glasses when the tirade was written.

ABSURD TARIFF PLEAS.

one or the most absurd arguments if that is the word for it---used by the tariff-defenders in defense of the high prices. and in their efforts to show that those excessive prices are not charge. able to the tariff. is. as one of their newspapers expresses it, there is no tariff on houses. and no dwelling house trust" yet rents are high. Ergo, the tariff is not to blame for high prices.
 That is actually the way one news paper attempts to explain away the fact that prices for all necessaries of life are high. Houses are not protected, and home rents are high, therefore the tariff and the trusts are not to blame. This special and spacious pleader conn pleteIy ignores the fact. and evidently thinks his readers will not think of 1t, that houserent is high because 1t costs more to build them, and 1t costs more to build them because almost every thing that enters into the construction of a house, excepting brick, perhaps, is protected. Lumber and nails, iron and other metals, screws and window glass ---in short, almost everything used eith- CT In building, finishing or furnishing home is protected by the present tar- if. Under such conditions it Is no wonder that building houses Is expen- sive, and 1t is equally plain why rents are high. The defenders and apolo- gists of the trusts tell half the truth but dare not tell all of it. It wouldn't be good politics.
 These special pleaders think they have covered all the ground and made their position impregnable when they declare that "ail the materials of which houses are made are produced at home In sufiacient quantities to supply the do- mestic demand" They want people to believe that because we can build our houses without the use of any impor.- ed material the tariff cuts no figure. They carefully keep back the fact that the duties on some of these materials are practically prohibitive, thus enGb- ling them to charge their own prices for home productions.
 For example. if a man could buy an imported article for one dollar. if there was no tariff on 1t. a duty of 50 per cent. on 1t would make it cost him one dollar and half. would 1t not? Then, if the home manufacturer can make the same article at profit for one dollar, the high duty on the imported article enables him to demand and receive one dollar and forty-five cents and still undersell the foreigner. Is 1t not plain. under the circumstances, that the pur- chaser Is actually robbed by the pro- tective tariff. and we have not given l suposititious case. but have stated just what is being done; yet we are told that the tariff works no injury because we can get everything we need made at home! It is blatant effrontery to mke such plea. but 1t is the best the tarlffites can do.

A curious and unique condition of political affairs now. exists in Florida At the primary for State officers W. NJ Holloway was nominated for Superin- tendent of Education. On account of some charges against him the Demo- cratic State Committee met last satur- day and named another man for the position. They decided that they had no power or authority to take MT. Hol- Ioway down. so they put up another man in place of the one who was nomi- mated at the primary. Now there are two candidates for one State office. both claiming to be regular, and some papers are supporting one and some the other. It is queer tangle. and the voters will have to settle 1t. if they can.

widely Different Views.

All we have to say to The Advertiser Is to come up and investigate the sit- uation. We deal in facts not theories. we have had experience, "have drank at the branch" Our digestion Is fine. our glasses are not blue, we know 9 good enterprise when we see It, but vile we want. We have built to what we have, it would disturb some business interests to move them. if such a thing was ever possibility. which 1t is not, but we want no more. others can have them. We have given our advice now let others try the experiment.

The Only Way.

The war correspondent had been giv- en carte blanche by his paper in the matter of reduisitions.
 "Please send me-" he cabled, two pairs of field glasses which will carry 600 miles. As the armies are 1900 miles from here, by using both pairs at once I may be able to see what is going on and send you a good story.
 Then he went back to his pipe.

We are "assimilating'' the Philippine natives right along. An army officer writes to a friend in Washington in this strain:
 Yesterday we had another battle with the Moros and killed about 25O men, women and children. Those who were present say 1t was a most terrible sight Our troops cornered the Moros and Kill ed every Moro in sight and then burn ed everything they had. If the officials will only let our men do this aoout twice more there will be ne more trouble. The Moros have been sneak ing in and cutting down our sentinels. We are all getting hardened to killing Moros.
 How is that for a sample of the be nevolent assimilation" of which we have heard so much? The Moros may be had citizens, but how much worse are they than are the soldiers who kill the women and children when they get to them? Is that the plan adopted by our government to pacify and civilize the inhabitants of our new possessions? Is that our plan of fighting them for self f-Kovernment? Or, is it the plan to kill all the natives in order to get them out of the way? The latter seems most likely.
