'Twould be good to strip off these rolls

And don overalls n a raggedy hat,
And be as 1.-THE n as lean again
As 1 Used to be in the old days when
My roseate future beckoned me
From where 1 dreamed meath a beechen

By a bubbling spring; and to feel as free
And to be as poor as / used TO be.
"Twould be good. 'twould be more than
good, to know
That nights when the sun sunk way down
low,
And shadows were stretching so cool and
There were buttery shelves and a cooky
jar :.
Where I could gorm in the good old way
With no one ever to say me nay;
And always a mother to hold me tight,
And to hear my prayers and say good
night.
'Twould be good to be on the dear old
farm,
And to jerk the line with my boyish arm,
And guide the old dun mule across
The smelly fields where the grasses toss,
And to pillow them under the fallow earth
And prepare for a plentiful harvest's
birth,
And to eat-'twould be well just to eat
again
With the appetite that my work gave

Protected by Administration.

The coal trust grows more and more
arrogant with the approach Of winter.
It steadily advances prices without rea-
son other than Its desire 10 squeeze more
money from the long-suffering public,
and the legal department Of the adminis-
tration does not lift a hand to put a stop
to the extortion. The evidence of a COIL
trust is not far to seek. 1t is open and
notorious, and yet the administration
whose head was wont to talk about
"shackeling cunning will not make
even a p%retense of enforcing the anti
trust law. 1t remains to be seen wheth.

by the robbery. is at least responsible

WHAT THE FARMER NEEDS.
He Does Not Want a Protective Tariff,
But Protection from Trusts
That Rob Him.

The farmer who has been beguileG
into believing that the protective tariff
helps him obtain an enhanced price for
his produce, should remember that the
farmer is an exporter and not a manu-
facturer threatened with imports. The
farmer must have markets abroad for
he raises more than the home market
can consume. He does not fear aly COM
petitor from a foreign country, so what
protection can a tariff on farm products
give him? No one is going to send
wheat, or meat, or corn, or cotton here
to compete with him. After he has sold
all the American people can consume
the surplus must find a market abroad in
competition with the surplus of other
countries. SNearly always, the price
that the surplus brings abroad fixes the
price at home.
What the farmer needs is not a pro-
tective tariff, but protection from the
trusts, elevator combines and corpora
tons. High freight rates and high trust
prices for all the farmer buys, eat up his
profits and these high freight rates and
largely increased cost of all he buys, are
mainly caused by the protective tariff
Steel rails and nearly everything the
railroads use are increased in cost one
third by protection and of course the
farmer pays his share of the bills.
Farm machinery. tools, barbed wire,
building material, clothes and many
more articles that might be mentioned
are protected by the tariff SO that tho
manufacturers can charge a great deal
beyond a reasonable profit. All this,
and more, the farmer pays and still some
otherwise sensible farmers vote for the
party which is openly in league with
those who plumber them. Remember
that the republican national platform
and state and congressional district
platforms pledge the candidates to up
hold the protective tariff, so nc relief
can be expected from a republican con-
9ress or a republican president.

NO DoNNYBRooK LEGISLATURE.

There is nothing in the charges made
employed by the Republican party in
carrying on this campaign to justify
the election of a Legislature committed
to a sixty-day row with the Governor
The Governor is not and has not been
running the machine campaign If he
had been the necessity could not have
arisen for his sharp rebuke of the Su-
perintendent of Public Works for the
political discharge of an employe, nor
would the party ticket have been man
ned by Shaw and a Mahelona- Gov
ernor Carter, though naturally solicit
tous for the success of his party, has
not undertaken it's management and IN
the one departmental case of offensive
partisanship brought to his notice he
of court. Surely his good faith with
the people is clear enough. If there
are other specific Instances of political
wrong-doing let Mr.. Kinney collect
them. lay them before the Governor
and .see what he does in the matter.
Mr.. Kinney's ingenious bubble over
undated designations makes the Exec
utive only technically and distantly re-
sponsible for the political misdoings OF
others. Then why not, if the Demo-.
cratic campaign is to hinge on his
hi n
cihc and close responsibility? Are the
Democrats afraid that they could not
make the connection?
The choice of an anti-Carter issue,
badly off the Democrats are for real
issues. such valid changes in the law
or the Territorial policy as tne,s advo-
cate are mere repetitIons of the de-
nands of the Republican Territorial
platform. ALI the Democrats have to
OFFER in addition is row with Carter,
and we submit again that a Legisla-
ture committed to such courses is not
one which the people want. They had
their experience when Home Rule
Legislature finished a ninety-day wran-
gle over Governor Dole. The public
wish is now for Legislature which
viii attend to business with the fidelity,
the sober spirit and the trained CELEBRITY
of a board of directors engaged in car
rying on the affairs of a great CONNER
cial house-not one which will waste
the peoples money Investigating

on the payroll by a road overseer so
that he would vote the Republican
ticket and whether Governor Carter
was an accomplice in the awful crime.

MAHELONA.

Mr.. Mahelona, the two-spot states
man from the Fifth, has concluded not
to relieve the Republican Representa-
tive ticket of his name, and in a letter
which has kindly been provided for
him to sign. he declares himself ''un-
alterably opposed to any change in the
present law against gambling
This is the Mahelona whose initial
speech in the present canvass ran as
follows:
..Arnong the laws which I wish to
make is one that you all desire, be-
cause when you are seen with piece
of paper and pencil, that is che ia and
there you are in jail. 1 wish to make
a law that will stop arresting che ia
players AND WILL PERMIT OPEN
GAMBLING"
When the Advertiser reported tins
speech Mr.. Mahelona tried to deny it
but was overwhelmed by the evidence
marshaIed against him. He then con-
fessed and promised to be good, at
tempting in his eagerness to stay on
the ticket, to pose as an anti-gambling
candidate This is his posture today
but any one who takes stock in his
professions of reform, challenging as
they do his record of a lifetime, is fit
to hunt the moon for green cheese.
Mahelona is a humbug. He is I'M
reliable and inefficient. Conservative
electors will prefer to vote for Mr..
Trent, who is reliable and efficient and,
irrespective of his party, would make
a better Legislator than Mahelona could
even pretend to be-

concerned. in control of the party or

The decision of the Wisconsin court
is a wholesome one and it ought to go
far towards making party conventions

Is the blonde losing ground in the
struggle for existence? Professor Otis
7. Mason of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton thinks so and says:
1.-The golden tint of the hair, the
clear blue of the eyes and the white
ness of the skin is only an indication
of a lowness of vitality and a lack of
force. The pigment which gives color
to the hair, eyes and skin of the
brunette is simply an indication of the
general superiority of force and
strength and vitality within the in
dividual.''
borne out by the opinion of DR.. Garlic
ton Simon of New York, a celebrated
physician and statistician. DR.. Simon
says it is a well-known fact that the
proportion of blondes to brunettes is
rapidly decreasing and that the nat
ural inference is that they will event
ually disappear.
AS Professor Mason says" said DR..
Simon, lit is due to the fact that the
skin pigment is an indication of the

nettes remain single than blondes.
When blondes do marry they do not
have many children
Absence of force among blondes
What about the Germans, who are
generally blonde? What about the Rus
slams and Scandinavians, the majority
of whom are blue-eyed and light
haired? Are they inferior in forceful
attributes to the south European peo-
pies, the brunettes of Italy and Spain
and Portugal?
Don't worry about blondes. Their
Anglo-saxon, Celtic and Scandinavian
stock is sound and vigorous. No light
haired nation is decaying, but the
dark-haired Latins have lost ground
steadily for generations past.

INCREASED EXPORTS.

! The increase in exports of manufac-
lures from the United States during
. the past year, and especially in recent
months, has suggested the preparation
! OF some data by the Department OF
Commerce and Labor through its Blu
reau of Statistics regarding the expor-
tation of manufactures from the vari-
Gus countries of the world, and the re-
Iative growth in such exports. The
value of manufactures exported from
the United states in the year just end
ed exceeds that of any previous year,
and during the months of May, June.
and July manufactures for the first
time in the history of the country ex-
ceeded agricultural products in the ex-
port trade of the country.
This fact has led the Bureau of
Statistics to this study of the relative
growth of manufactures in the prin-
cipal countries of the world which sup
ply the four billion dollars worth of
manufactures which enter into the In
ternational commerce of the world.
The chief countries exporting manu-
features at the present time are the
United Kingdom, Germany, France,
and the United States. These four
countries supply about three-fourths of
the manufactures entering the inter-
national markets of the world, the total
exports of manufactures from these
countries being, in round terms, three
manufactures entering the worlds in
ternational markets being about four
billion dollars. A study, however, of
the relative growth of manufactures
and of expectation of manufactures in
these four countries indicates that the
United States is making more rapid
gains than any other of the group.
The relative growth in the exporta-
ton of manufactures is equally strik-
ing in its showing of the relative gains
made by these four principal manu-
featuring countries in their supply of
the worlds market for manufactures.
The accompanying table shows the
value of manufactures exported from
the United Kingdom. Germany, France,
and the United States, respectively, in
1880 and the latest available year. 1t
will be seen that the exports of manu-
features from the United Kingdom
grew from 1861, 400, 900 in 1880 to s1,14z,-
$50, 600 in 1908, an increase of. 1916 per
cent; France, a growth from 1888, 1885,
900 in 1880 to s405, 7s4, 900 in 1908, gain
of 1854 per cent Germany, an increase
from $3.50, 279,O 900 in 1880 to $3.50, 926,OOO
in 1903, an increase of 1895 per cent; |!
while the United States shows a growth |
from $102, S56.015 in 1880 to s452, 445, 629 in
1904, an increase of 1895 per cent. Not !
only has the percentage of increase by |
the United States been greater than I
any of the other countries named but
the actual gain has also been greater.
The increase in exports of manufac
lures from France during the period
named has been $66 sos, 600; from the

we will kill you. To insure your health

The Ministry is further informed that
the vast ajoriry of staff officers killed
in battle were shot from behind. which
proves that the soldiers are making good
their threats. On the whole, the Rus

officers than the Japs; especially great

The Responsibility.

1t is but right that the democratic
party should bear the brunt of the re-
cent unpleasantness at the court
house. That the unfortunate condi-
ton of affairs there was known to
some of the leaders long, long before
IL ever became public, is certainly a
fact. 1t is a common belief that the
eX-clerk had no desire to go into the
recent contest for the clerks Office
In fact it is stated by responsible
parties that the ex.clerk has made
that statement. Since he did not
have any desire to contest the matter
and yet did so, it must be presumed
that some pressure, some influence,
some persuasion was brought TO bear
to cause him to waive his personal
feelings that Others might gain the
advantage they thought would come
from the contest. Who could have
brought such pressure or persuasion?
1t does not seem reasonable that il
could have been anybody but the lead
ers of the democratic party who,
knowing conditions, feared the cleo
tion of Mr.. Larsen and possible au-
dit of the books. The fact that GER
tain shortages of past democratic Off

officials and reported as cash on hand
could not have been secret between
