LEAVE CAMEL FAR BEHIND.

Several Animals Can Go Without Water
for Remarkable Long Periods.
Several other creatures besides the
camel are able to get along for extend
ed periods without drinking.
Sheep in the Southwestern deserts Of
America go for forty to sixty days in
winter without drink, grazing on the
green, succulent vegetation of that sea-
son.
Peccaries in the desert Of Sonora live
in little dry hills, where there is no nat
ural water, for long periods. They can
not possibly find water-in fact, for
months at a time the moisture they can
obtain comes from roots and the fruits
Of cacti.
But the most extraordinary case is
that of the pocket mouse, one of the
common rodents of the desert.
This little creature, by the way, has
a genuine fur-lined pocket" on the
outside of his cheek When it is hun
cry it takes food from this pocket with
its paw, just as man would pull
ham sandwich from his pocket.
One of these mice has been kept for
three years with no other food than the
mixed bird seed of commerce. During
this period it has not taste of either
water or green food.
Other experimenters have found, in
fact. that these mice in captivity refuse
such treats, not seeming to know that
water is good to drink.
The bird seed put before this mouse
contained not more than 10 per cent or
moisture. which is less than Is neces-
sary for digestion. Stuff SO dry as this

to the interests of science.

The hunting season this fall in Wis
consln and the upper peninsula of Mich
1gan promises to be one of the best ever
known. Deer arc unusually plentiful,
and bear, water fowl and small game are
numerous, owing in large measure to
the intelligent care that has been exer-
cised by the two States in the protection
of game. Reports from all along the
line indicate an abundance of game and
the best of sport for those who go into
the woods this fall for rest and recrea-
ton. Many of the camps and resorts
are to be kept open later than usual this
season to accommodate visiting sports

Good Reasons for a Change.

Republicans who detest Roosevelt
ism, but do not like to ally themselves
with the Democrats, should take cour-
age from the example of Dewitt Clin-
ton Oyerbaugh, president of the Grand
Hotel Company Of New York, a life
long Republican. He was member Of
the famous Committee of Seventy who
overthrow Tammany, and is president
Of the North Side Board Of Trade.
His reason for his change of heart
he declares to be, that he dislikes the
methods Of Mr.. Roosevelt and cannot
trust him to settle the vital questions
Of national Importance, such as mon
opolies, strikes, Investigation and pun
ishment Of dishonest public officials,
squandering uselessly the public mon
ey and the rich trust combines which
are eating like a cancer into the very
life of the nation and the tariff to be
adjusted properly.

Farm Produce and Protection.

uIacturer threatened with imports. The
FARMER must have markets abroad.
Tor ne raises more than the home ma@-
ket can consume. He does not fear
any competitor from a foreign coun-
try, 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 peo-
pie can consume the surplus must find
market abroad in competition with
the surplus of other countries. Near
~ always, the price that the surplus
brings abroad fixes the price at home
what the farmer needs is not pro-
tective tariff, but protection from the
trusts, elevator combines and corpora
lions. 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 is mainly caused by the pro-
tectlve tariff. Steel rails and nearly
everything the railroads use are in
creased 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 the manufacturers
can charge a great deal beyond a rea-
sonable 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 plat
forms pledge the candidates to uphold
the protective tariff, so no relief can be
expected from a Republican Congress
or Republican President.

77-I,c,, the late Senator Hanna took
nm the fad Of the Civic Association and
+.te1 n arbitrate all disagreements be-
800 capitaI and labor, he made some
- tfso principal labor leaders believe
4I,,+ tho concentration of business in
tbo lands Of the trusts was for the
t,anafit Of organized labor. There was
~ hp the trust for the masters, with
+bo protective tariff to enrich them,
and combination Of labor to force
m the wages of the workingman to
l,aoo pace with the increased cost Of
1i,-fng AS long as the business boom"
Inontfnnpd the Hanna plan worked to
Inorfpction. and both the trusts and the
iaLor leaders thought they had at last
.rp9ried q Utopian existence. All that
.vas necessary was to "stand pat' and
:"lpt we'll enough alone" But the con-
surIcrs who have to pay trust prices,
find the effort beyond the reach of
.+hrfr pocketbOoks and have been COM
DpIIpd to resort to economy. The Steel
Trust and other large trusts and the
railroad combines discovered their
earnings decreased and many mills
and workshops have been shut down.
Wares have been cut and strikes have
become epidemic and the inflated pros
perty bladder is punctured. The rail-
roads had advanced their rates, but
soon depressed wages. The Coal Trust
advanced prices, but the miners re-
ceivel no increase. The Beef Trust
"boomed" beef, but cut wages and low
cred the price of cattle and hogs. 9th
er trusts acted on the same hypothesis,
that they could continue to plumber the
consumers and reduce their expenses
and pay big dividends upon watered
stock.
Tile trusts did not kill the goose that
laid the golden egg, but they have so
m0ltreared her that the eggs dwindled
in size and value. The numerous
strikes that have resulted from the
wage cutting has brought about the
combination of manufacturers for the
open shop" The manufacturers trust
must he preserved at all hazards, but
the labor combine must be disrupted.
Everyone with a vestige Of common
sense is demanding some kind of tariff
revision, to stop the trusts from plum
dering the consumers and especially to
hinder the trusts from selling cheaper
to foreigners than to the American peo-
pie. y strong minority Of Republicans
cIamored for reciprocity and tariff re-
form, but the leaders said, "Stand
pat"
President Roosevelt was for some
time In doubt about tariff reform; he
yacjIIated between revision" and a
Commission" The Protective Tariff
League threatened to defeat his NOM
nation and the trusts declared they
would put up no money for the cam
paign SO what could the poor man do
but succumb to those mighty auxtl-
iaries Of the Republican party and
stand pat"
So there is to be no relief from pro-
lection, no escape from the plundering
trusts, no reciprocity, if President
Roosevelt and a Republican Congress
IS continued in power. Parker and
Davis Retrenchment and Reform is
the only hope for the people.
