that kingdom. A third-class ticket OF
this kind costs about g. which makes
travelling very cheap indeed. for with

where the main lines Of travel have
recently come into the hands Of the

A passenger desiring one Of the tick

market, but to keep the American
manufacturers from taking the British
colonial markets away from the British
urges the adoption of our policy
The things which have provoked this
attitude of Chamberlain are the su-
prenacy of the United States in manu-
featuring and the wonderful expansion
of German manufacturing and com
merce as well. Behind the Chamber
lain policy there is no resentment at
the tariff laws of Germany and the
United States; but a resentment at
the commercial and industrial expan-
sion of both countries, which have
rendered Great Britain's industrial
and commercial supremacy a thing of
the past.
If there is any one in this country
who questions the wisdom of the tariff
policy of the United States, which has
created the conditions above outlined
he certainly cannot be found in the
ranks of the protectionists. The wis
dom of our policy is most heartily in
dorsed by Chamberlain himself, who
gives it the highest possible praise in
his recommendation that it be copied
Great Britain can save herself from
being driven out of the markets which
her own colonies afford. There IS no
longer the remotest thought in Great
Britain of being able to recapture the
American markets.-Seattle Post In

Official Salaries at Washington.

That $4,000 a year is an made
quate salary for the President of the
United States has long been recog-
nized by ali persons who are familiar
with the requirements imposed by Of
fetal life in Washington at the pres
ent time. The $4,000 suggested by
Senator Gallinger in the bill he has
just introduced is none too much, and
sufficient reasons could be found even
for making the figure 100000.
When it comes to the other in
creases of salaries proposed in the
bilI-the Vice President and the cab
met officers from $4,000 to $4,000,
the speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives from $4,000 to $4,000, and
senators and representatives from
$4,000 to $S,OQ0-there will be more
probability of active discussion. How
ever, the same reasons that apply in
the Presidents case unquestionably
apply, and perhaps with even more
force, in the cases of the cabinet Off

Before the Crate.

A song that's old and always new,
A story none can quite explain,
A woof of dreams that stretches through
The farthest deeps of joy and pain;
A bit of music men have sung,
And still must sing. till Time is late
Is that old song I find among
The blazing embers in the crate.
A power that is more than art,
Yet hoE1ely with the soul of home,
That brings to every human heart
Tales of old times where'er we roam
Old faces, forms, old loves, perhaps.
Old hopes and fears that wreathed our
fate,
Come flooding back. when Memory taps
My shoulder at the blazing CRATE
Old, and yet sweeter for its age.
Like growing wealth of aged wine.

the other members of the cabinet the
situation is, though in varying degree,
similar.
1t is a perfectly practicable thing
for Congress to raise the salaries of
executive officers without much trou-
Bile, when it sees reason for the step.
With the salaries of it's own members
the case is, however, very different.
The first word that is heard upon
such a proposal is grab and the
record of the past shows that mem
bers of the lower House especially
take their official lives in their hands
when they vote for such a measure
Their constituents do not forget it at
the next election.
While the subject is being agitated
there is another branch of the federal
service which should also come in for
consideration. That is the diplomatic
service. Our ambassadors and many
of our ministers abroad must always
spend large sums from their private
incomes in order to hold their places
without making their government ap-
pear. ridiculous to foreign eyes, With
the foreign relations of this country
becoming ever more complicated, and
with the need of trained diplomats
becoming in consequence ever great
er, the United States can well afford
to take early steps to place the dip

Kidney Pills after eight years of tor

Henry Soule of Pultney ST.. Ham
mondsport, N. Y, says: For eight
years l suffered constant agony from
kidney complaint. 1 endured the
worst torture from gravel and the
kidney secretions were excessive and
contained sediment like brick dust. 1
had to get out of bed from ten to
twenty times a night and the loss of
sleep wore me out. Indigestion came
on and the distress after eating was
terrible. Doan's Kidney Pills effected
a complete and lasting cure, and after
the symptoms of kidney trouble were
gone my stomach began to work as
it should. This lasting cure, espe-
cially in person of my age, proves the
great value of Doan's Kidney Pills
more convincfngly than could any
words of mine.'
