MANS LOVE OF THE DOG.
Of Ali Animals Only the Dog Has Made
Alliance With Us.

From Our Friend the Dog by
Maurice Maeterlinck in the January
Century: Man loves the dog, but how
much more ought he to love it If he
considered, in the inhexible harmony
of the laws Of nature, the sole eXcep-
ton which is hat love Of a being that
succeeds in piercing, in order to draw
closer to us, the partitions, everywhere
else impermeable, that separate the
species! We are alone, absolutely
alone on this chance planet; and, amid
all the forms of life that surround us,
not one, excepting the dog, has made
an alliance with us. A few creatures
fear us, most are Of US, and
not one loves us. In the world of
plants, we ave dumb and motionless
slaves; but they serve us in spite Of
themselves. They simply endure our
laws and our yoke. They are impotent
prisoners, victims incapable of escap-
ing, but silently rebellious; and, so
soon as we lose sight Of them, they
hasten to betray us and return to their
former wild and mischievous liberty.
The rose and the corn, had they wings,
would fly at our approach like the
birds.
Among the animals. We number a few
servants who have submitted only
through Indifference, cOWardice or stu
Didity; the uncertain Inc craven horse,
who responds only to pain II is at
tached to nothing; the passive and de-
Jected ass, who stays with US only be-
cause he knows not what to do nor
where to go, but who nevertheless, I'M
der the cudgel and the pack-saddle, re-
tains the idea that turks behind his
ears the COW n the OK. happy so
long as they are eating, and dOcile be-
cause, for centuries, they have not had
a thought OF their own the affrighted
sheep, who knows no other master
than terror; the hen, who is faithful
to the poultry yard because she finds
more maize and wheat there than in
the neighboring forest. l do not speak
of the cat, to whom we are nothing
more than a too large and UNBEATABLE
prey, the ferocious cat, whose sidelong
contempt tolerates us only as encum-
bering parasites in our own homes. She,
at least, curses us in her mysterious
heart, but all the others live beside
US, as they might live beside a rock or
a tree. They do not love US, do not
know us, scarcely notice us. They
are unaware of u life, our death, our
departure, u return, our sadness, our
joy. our smile. They do not ever hear
the sound Of our voice, as soon as 1t no
longer threatens them; and, when they
look at us, it Is with the distrustful
bewilderment Of the horse, in whose
eye still hoVers the in~fatuation of the
elk or gael that sees us for the first
time, or with the dull stupor of the
ruminantS, who look upon us as a mo-
m%entary and useless accident Of the
pasture.

A note Of family pride vas struck in
the conversation between three small
Reading, Pa, boys the other day. The
parts played by their respective grand
fathers In the civil war were being de-
picted by two Of the boys in vivid colors.
The career Of each, it seemed, had been
halted by confinement in southern pris-
ons, and it was on the latter fact that
the lads laid particular stress. The third
youth, unable to match these ~recjtals with
any military achievement of his own for
bears. preserved an envious silence for a
while, and then, not to be outdone, said
disparagingly:
why, that's not so much. My Uncle
Bill was In jail a long time, and he was
never in the army at ALL"

Davi. Of West virginia.

The Republican press is profoundly
concerned about the Democratic vice
presidential candidate on two scores.
1t regrets his advanced age more than
words can tell and is already beginning
to admit the possibility that If elected
he may not outlive his term of Office

it is panied that he should be man

100000, instead Of one Of more moder-
ate fortune. There is vague sugges-
ton in the editorials that have come to
our eye that vice presidential candi-

somehow SURRENDERED it's principles by

THE TARIFF A. SUBSIDY.

Grinds the Poor by Vastly Increas-
ing Cost of Living.
At one Of the hearings before the ma
tine commission Representative Gros-
venor said, Subsidy is a frightful
wordw And yet he Immediately began
to plead for aid to the shipping indus
try and tell the Detroit people that the
city's lines of communication were due
to subsidies. land the question now is
whether the great system that has
built up your inland trade may not
demonstrate some plan by which con-
gress can accomplish equally good re-
suits on the high seas"
Grosvenor was always generous with
other peoples money. He would vote
Tor subsidy or procure pension for
Satan If he was a voter in the Eleventh
Ohio district.
The protective tariff law is but a
multiplicity of subsidies to the trusts
and manufacturers when the rate of
duty is beyond what will produce
enough revenue to provide for the nee
essary expenses Of the government.
Although every Republican congress
man does not plead for ship subsidy.
yet they all vote. work and plead for
tariff subsidies that vastly increase the
cost Of living.

will rule the roost. As sop to the
Van SAINT faction the platform COM
mends the governors action in "espous-
ing the cause Of the people against the
railroad merger and trusts" How the
trust magnates must grin when they
read about the man they defeated

would be interesting to know how
much the victory cost the trusts and
still more interesting to see what the
voters will think of the combination.

TIME TO DRAW THE LINE.
New York Becomes the Dumping
Ground of Addicks Refuse.

New York Becomes the Dumping
Ground of Addicl<s Refuse.
Addicksism has been taken into the
Republican fold Notwithstanding it rep
resents all that is censurable in poll
tics The Addicks delegates from Dela-
ware were seated in the Republican
national convention. although it was
we'll known that political debauchery
was the cause of their being there.
President Roosevelt has again approx
ed of the rotten side of Delaware poll
tics by appointing William NJ. Byrne
as assistant district attorney for New
York. who has been one Of the princi-
pal Addicks strikers and partisans. He
has only resided in New York for u few
months. so his appointment is therefore
the more remarkable. and when 1t is
remembered that the United States SEN
ate refused to confirm his appointment
as district attorney for Delaware it is
the more extraordinary. To inject the
poison Of Addicksism into the Repub-
lican organization of New York by
planting one of its shoots in that fertile
soil for strategy and spoils in the i'm
portant Office of United States district
attorney. where the opportunity for po.
litical evils are so numerous. is almost
beyond comprehension.
Talk of home rule and civil service
reform and boast, as the Republicans
do, that President Roosevelt is for their
honest enforcement and then think Of
such an appointment when the facts
were all we'll known. Usually excuses
can be made for bad appointments by
the president. He has to rely upon
what others tell him about those who
seek federal appointments, but in the
Byrne case the appointee. Addicks and
the debauching Of Delaware We're all
notorious. and no one had more wealth
of details Of the rottenness than Pres
ident Roosevelt
"This is the last straw" says the
New York World. I'VE can stand Adj
dicks in Delaware if Delaware can. we
can stand Platt and Odell in New York
II we have to, but when it comes to
making New York the dumping ground
for Addicks refuse which even Della
ware will not tolerate New York draws
the line"

OPPOSED 70 REFORM.
The True Republican positio, on the
Tariff Question.


Tariff Question.
The American Economist, the trust
supported organ Of the protectionists,
entirely approves the Republican plat
form and especially cvmmends the tar
If plank, which it says is "the pledge
against unnecessary tariff tinkering
and the pledge that no schemes for
reciprocity in trade with foreign na-
tions shall be permitted to injure any
industry in the United States" 1t is
well to have this, the highest authority,
tell us what the Republican platform
does mean ON the tariff question Those
Republicans who are anxious for rec
iprocitv with Canada and other coun-
tries will know their demands are not
to receive the, slightest consideration.
The Economist also shows it's utter
adherence Of the Cuban reciprocity
treaty which President Roosevelt
forced through congress, for it adds:
1.-The fact will not be lost sight of
that had the principles enunciatcd in
the platform governed the Republican
national administration during the past
two years there would have been no
such thing as reciprocal trade agree
ments with any foreign nation. no mat
ter how great the incentive or how
charitable the spirit which prompted
such negotiation, when the fact was
clearly demonstrable that more than
one industry in the United States was
certain to be injuriously affected
thereby"
That is certainly u fair slap in the
face for President Roosevelt, who the
Economist evidently thinks was not
governed by true protection principles,
for it is CLEARLY demonstrable that
more than one industry in the United
States was certain to be injuriously
affected thereby" The injured indus
tries are sugar and tobacco. both of
which are controlled by trusts, and the
lament of this Republican organ shows
clearly the connection between the
trusts and that party and the absolute
domination of the trust barons over
the late Republican convention.
The monopolists have SO tied up the
Republican party in its platform that
for at least the next four years. il that
party is successful, there will be no
tinkering with the sacred tariff law.
A Republican candidate for congress
may promise to favor reciprocity, or to
revise the tariff so that it will not
foster trusts. but If elected he will be
powerless to do anything for tariff
reform without breaking with his
party. 1t will be we'll for Republicans
who have hitherto voted the Republic
an ticket, but now think reciprocity or
q revision of those tariff schedules that
protect the trusts in selling abroad
cheaper than here should be adopted.
to question their candidates for con-
gress on how far they will be willing

boys Luck Waning.


Those who are called lucky are gen.
orally erratic individuals that take
chances and jump at conclusions. The
luck of such people never lasts, for
when their luck turns they get ratified
and throw wisdom, If they possess any.
to the winds. President Roosevelt has
been lucky, but 1t has been the luck Of
q gambler who takes desperate chances
and is sure to meet reverses when ev-
erything looks brightest for winning.
Before the Democratic national con-
vention met the Roosevelt luck was at
high water mark. In spite of all the
efforts of the Republican machine poll
ticians he had been nominated by ac-
clamation, had dictated the platform
and felt so sure of his election that he
selected an inexperienced manager of
his campaign against the protest of the
wisest leaders of the Republican party.
Since the nomination Of Judge Parker
the Roosevelt luck has turned, and for
tune has sought another to lavish her
favors upon.
The eclipse Of Roosevelt began when
the star of Judge Parker appeared on
the national horizon. He at once be-
came the national hero who could be
looked upon to do the right thing at the
right time.
The fustian hero, Roosevelt, who had
infamed the hearts of his followers
with questionable heroism at San Juan
hill, who had slain bears and cata-
mounts, the cowboy and the rough rid
er, sank into insignifcance when the
real civic hero appeared.
When President Roosevelt refused to
receive the deputation Of miners his
good fortune had deserted him, a
cranky spell possessed him.
Zone reason why Republicans begin
to fear that Roosevelt luck is waning
is." says the New York Post. 'un-
doubtedly their perception of the awk-
wardness Of his having suddenly to ap-
pear as an eclipsed hero. Their dejec-
ton is really comic They never dream
ed of this. Why, it almost looks as If
they had unconsciously drawn their
own platform to fit Judge Parker.
They held up candidate with clear
head and brave heart, ready for every
emergency How by any possibility
could those words be used of the ex-
pected Democratic nominee-a mere
Judge who had never smelled powder?
Yet the provoking man quietly dis
played before the country a ready
courage in great crisis which instant
" made Roosevelt's lights burn dim
and caused the nation to acclaim Judge
Parker as its foremost political figure.
"There is most important aspect to
all this. 1t means much for our na-
tional ideals. We are all hero worship
ers, whether we want to be or not. We
have had set before us again the great
civic virtues, home bred and nurtured
in peace. 1t is only by cherishing and
cleaving to them and honoring them
that nation can pass on the lamp Of
progress"
