Consistency Is a Jewel.

A politician of the ordinary type is
often inconsistent in what he does or
says. but when he rises in the scale
and aspires to be known as a states
man, his actions and speeches are
scanned more closely, and any incon-
sistency he exhibits at once lowers
him in the estimation of the people.
1t is reported that President Roose-
velt Is very much incensed at the criti-
cism of his words, acts and writings
that are constantly appearing in the
newspapers. He resents the structures
that have been heaped upon him, and
yet he should be the last man to do so,
for he has been unsparing in his re-
view of others actions, and has been
the first to call attention to their mis-
takes or Inconsistencies. Yet con-
sistency has not been one of the jewels
in President Roosevelt's casket. for no
public man has been on more sides of
many important issues than he has.
He has been free trader and tariff
refOrmer, and now has settled down
into ''stand-patter" for this campaign
or until he changes his mind again
in his speech at Logansport, Ind,
Sept. 3, 1902, he said:

try is TO treat the tariff as a business

Still More Evidence.

Bay City, ILL.,, Aug. ESPECIALLY :
Mr. X. f. Henley of this city adds his
evidence to that published almost daily
that a sure cure for Rheumatism is
now before the American people and
that that cure is Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Mr. Henley had Acute Rheumatism.
He has used Dodd's Kidney Pills. He
says of the result:
After suffering for sixteen years
with Rheumatism and using numerous
medicines for Rheumatism and more
medicines prescribed by doctors, at
last tried Dodd's Kidney Pills with the
result that l got more benefit from
tham than all the others put together.
''Dodd's Kidney Pills We're the only
thing to give me relief, and l recon-
mend them to all suffering from Acute
Rheumatism"
rheumatism is caused by Uric Acid

tho Uric Acid out of the blood. Dodd' S
Kidney Pills make healthy kidneys.

ELUSIVE BANK BOOK.
One City Institution Connts Upon Five
a Day BEING, IaSi.

Day Being Lost.
"If we don't have at least FIVE per-
sons every day come in here 10 give
notice of their lost bank books, we
think it unusual" said a cashier Of one
Of the city banks recently. Il haven't
any theories about it, but it is a fact
that there are twice as many of these
books lost in the summer time as there
are in the winter.
"As soou as book is reported lost
check is made against it in the bank
and the loser is requested to advertise
the loss. For from q fortnight to thir-
ty days ensuing no money can be with
drawn on that account, unless the book
shall be found. If not found the de-
positOr must apply for a new book.
Generally an affidavit must first be
made that the loser cannot find the
book: that it has not been transferred
or assigned.
"All this Is scarcely necessary, but 1t
makes a bank absolutely safe In re-
spect to that deposit, and 1t puts the
depositor to enough trouble to make
him or her careful thereafter. Every
thing having been performed as out
lined, the depositor may get new
book, which means opening new ac-
count, as accounts are never dupli-
Gated.
in my experience CT many years
do not recall case where finders have
presented books in hopes of withdraw
ing money. 1t would be almost i'm
possible for person not the owner
of the book to withdraw cent on the
account. At the time Of the original
deposit the depositor, before getting a
book. has to answer certain questions
which are framed to fix the depositor'
identity, and to protect the depositor.
The depositor must also leave an auto
graph oil the bank register. Whenever
money is withdrawn these questions
must be answered and the autograph
attached to an order. This is an eff
fectuaI test. Each book is numbered
and bears the depcsitor's name.
1--WE have been asked if depositors
would not be better protected if banks
omitted the name from the book and
simply numbered it. We can see no
advantage in that. The plan would
not defeat the purposes Of thief. foI
one who would steal a bank book
would know the name Of the owner
and the withdrawal of deposits is SC
well guarded that even with the own
er's name finder could not get mon
ey from the bank.

1.500 books lost every year of which
400 or 500 eventually turn up. Thai

point of ,any political party.
A nation like ours can adjust its bust-
ness after a fashion to any kind OF
tariff. But neither our nation nor
any other can stand the ruinous policy
or readjusting its business TO radical
changes in the tariff at short intervals.
This is more true now than ever 1t
was before. for, owing to the immense
extent and variety of our products,
the tiriff schedules of to-day carry
rates of duty on more than 400 .arti-
cles."
Then he was for reforming he tariff
by changing the schedule after pre-
limimry inquiry by commission Of
non-partisan experts, but after finding
that such a plan was impracticabie
he abandoned 1t. Since then he has
been wobbling, but now in his address
accepting the nomination for President
ne declares:
Eve have enacted tariff law under
which during the past few years the
country has attained height of ma
terial well-being never before reached.
Wages are higher than ever before.
That whenever the need arises there
should be readjustment of the tariff
schedules is undoubted; but such
changes can with safety be made only
by those whose devotion to the princi-
ple of a protective tariff is beyond
question: for otherwise the changes
would amount not to readjustment but
To repeal. The readjustment when
made must maintain and not destroy
the protective principle
II those inconsistent statements
mean anything they must be inter-
preted to signify that if the schedules
should be revised, rates should be in
creased, for that is what the protec-
tionists believe and President Roosn-
yelt is now evidently in full conl-
muuion with the stand-patters.
Perhaps this evolution of President
Roosevelt to protection has been nee,
essary for his political safety. When

ASTRONOMY AND MUSIC.


In the new letters of Carlyle there
is one which gives an amusing de-
scription of the attendance of the
gruff and glum great Scotchnlan at
the opera when Jenny Lind sang. His
wife was enraptured, like everybody
else: but he himself experienced only
contemptuous amaZement at the
fuss people were making about it all.

lie could not. with his nervous and
dyspeptic temperament, be expected
to enjoy the opera as another famous
