Consistency IL 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-
welt Is very much incensed ut the criti-
cism of his words, acts and writings
that are constantly appearing in the
newspapers He resents the structures
that have been Eeaped 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:
"What we really need in this coun-
try is to treat the tariff as business

tIEMoRY LANE. /.

I know lane, where the brier rose
Leans DER the old stone wall;
And the scented leaves from an ap-
pie tree
Like tinted sea shells fall
There's a turnstile, too. 'twixt the
winding lane
And the meadows with blossoms
white;
Blossoms of daises spilled by the
MIN
From her silver boat one night.
Here cornfiowers open their blue eyes
wide,
And peoples flirt with the sun;
While all of the grasses are glitter
ing with gems
That fairies from dewdrops have
spun.
All, yes! there's brook-it ripples
and smiles.
Past banks where the blue gentian
peeps;
But the song that it sings to the VIC
let's. l ween,
She deep in her little heart keeps.
Oh this is the lane that memory
paints.
Where loves fairest blossom grew;
For down by the stile met maid
With eyes like the cornflower blue.
Her cheeks were flushed with the
pink of the rose
Her lips wore the poppy's red.
And sunbeams were playing at aide
and seek Z.
Midst the curls on her golden head.
Lightly she tripped through the mea-
dow sweet,
And softly the breeze kissed her
brow;
Then she laughed-and her laugh was
the song of the brook
Methinks l can hear it now.
But alas for the passing of summer
dreams,
we met and we parted for aye;
Now 1 walk alone--here in memory
| lane
While She rides on the worlds
highway.

Earl got into the buggy with him,
which proved very difficult thing to
do, and being furnished with the keys
he returned and entered the cottage.
| AS he crossed the threshold ne paus-
ed in dismay. That vacant House
should have such an elegant carpet
on its hall struck him as strange, but
after moments reflection ne con-
cluded that its former tenants had
been people of wealth, who had occu-
| pied it as a temporary residence and
had evidently discarded the carpet
and left 1t on the floor But as he
entered one Of the rooms, which
proved to be .Lettie's parlor, he was
seized with transformation. Turning,
he bolted. back into the hall and out
of the house. dashing plump into Let
tie, who mad just arrived.
He looked like a burglar and felt
like one as he stood for an instant
staring at the frightened girl with the
ponderous bunch of keys dangling
from his hand.
IL beg your pardon" he said. This
is certainly one of the most unfor-
tunate and embarrassing situations
have even been in. And all on ac-
count of the lax business methods of
a beer gGZzling Dutchman. Though
feel like an ungrateful wretch to shift
the entire responsibility on his
shoulders, for ne certainly was kinder
to me than any man has ever been
before"
Briefly explaining tie situation to
Lettie, he continued:
IF you will promise to have faith
in me until return, I will either
bring the gentlemen with me, or his
written statement"
Lettie laughed.

The Tariff on i Meat.

The packers strike and the increas-
ed cost of beef and other meat, brings
the people face to face with one Of tile
excrescences of the tariff. The rate
of duty on beef, pork and mutton is
two cents pound and on preserved
meats, such as ham and bacon. five
cents pound. When the market for
cattle, hogs, sheep or beef, pork and
mutton is in II FORMAL condition there
would be no competition from such.
foreign products. IL no tariff was i'm
posed. in. times. Of stress like the pres,
ent meat would be shipped from Cam
ada and Argentina and the Australian
meat would find its way to the Pacific
ports. This competition would keep
the beef .barons within bounds instead
Of allowing them free scope to put
prices up. There is no fear Of the

~ nation like ours can adjust Its bust
hess after fashion to any kind oil
tariff. But neither our nation nor
amy other can stand the ruinous policy
OF readjusting its business to radical
changes in the tariff Mt short intervals.
This Is more true now than ever 1t
was before, for, owing to the immense
extent and variety of our products,

made must maintain and not destroy
the protective principle
Is those inconsistent statements
mean anything they must be inter-
