COMMON SENSE AND THE TARIFF

The debate President Roosevelt and Mr. Whitney of
what the president said year ago regarding
the tariff free hides may be highly entertaining these
emen but is of interest to the public OF far interest
il the report that the packers making from $4,000 to $4,000
day of duty hides and the prediction by retailers
that the of shoes to advance because the packing trust
has complete monopoly in supplying hides.
Here clear of tariff that is shelter to monopoly
Whether President Roosevelt promised Massachusetts shoe
aces that he would work the removal OF this tariff
mnaterial Hides should be admitted free and the president
.d urge upon congress the removal Of this oppressive tariff
Neither the president tariff tory OF the andpat type
adduce single good why the people should pay
Of 700 day the packers Why subsde the greedy packers
Why ubsdze the cattle ers who accept the prices
fixed by the for beef the hoof And the other hand
why not subde the who pay the prices fixed
by the for the finished products But neither the
the producers asking for subsidies They simply
ing for square deal"
High prices themselves bad when they normal
The great the supply has resulted in higher
level of prices which, if had increased poporonate would
be productive of hardship The present prices prices
and therefore artificial Prolbve tariffs simply
form Of the special privileges which permit the to maintain
artificial level of prices and prevent normal advance
Time when the astue members Of the Home Market
Club convinced the wokingnen that high tariffs by fostering
dusy demand labor and therefore maintained
high level that offset the evil of high prices But
sodaion answering this argument effectively each
year Thousands of who have been thrown of work by
consolidation of industries fail that demand for labor is i'm
by system They might be consocd in their search
for jobs they could be convinced by that equally celebrated
exploded arguments that cheaper production and there

There is undoubtedly a practical
art OF discovering springs. says Cas-
sier's MagaisRe. Indians or frontiers
men can find water in the desert
where q ''tenderfoot" cannot. Mex
leans and experienced prospectors
can similarly find ore. These arts
consist mainly in the recognition of
superficial signs which escape the
ordinary observer.
1t is not necessary that the OBJ
server should consciously note these
signs separately and reason upon
them. No doubt he frequently does
SO, though he may not give away
abe secret of his method to others.
But in many instances he recognizes
by association and memory the pres
ence of o group ofindications, great
or small, which he has repeatedly
found TO attend springs or ore de-
posits.
This skill, due to habit, is often
almost unerring for a given limited
district, but under new conditions
il breaks down. Old miners from
California or Australia have often
made in other regions the most fool
ish and hopeless attempts to find
gold, because they thought this or
that place looked just like" some
other place in which they had mined
successfully.
Apart from the magnetic minerals,
there is no proof that ore deposits
exhibit their presence and nature
by any attraction or other active
force. With regard to water, how
ever, there may be an action affect
ing the temperature and moisture of
the everything surface. Even here,
however, il seems more likely that
such efforts are manifested visibly
to a close observer rather than by
direction of his nervous or muscular
system. The favorable fields for wa
ter OWNERS are in regions in which
water is abundant, but not gathered
upon given horizons of impermeable
strata underlying porous rocks.

In his capacity as Judge, Lord
Brampton always insisted on the i'm
perative demand that every case
should be investigated in its minu-
test detail. Upon small points, some
times, the great issues Of case de-
ponds. As exemplifying this Lord
Brampton cites q curious case that
came before him OF the western cir
cult.
A solicitor was charged with ferg-
ing the will of lady which devised
TO him a considerable amount Of her
property. but as the case proceeded
it became clear to me that the will
was signed after the lady's death
and then with dry pen held in the
hand Of the deceased by theaccused
himself, while he guided it over a
signature which he had craftily
forged. A woman was present when
this was done, and as she had at
tested the execution OF the will she
was necessary witness for the
prisoner, and in examination-in chief
she was very clear indeed that il
was by the hand OF the deceased that
the will was signed, and she herself
had seen the deceased sign it. Sus-
picion. only existed as to what the
real facts were until this woman
vent into the box. and then a scene
highly dramatic occurred in her
cross examination. After getting
an admission that the document was
signed in bed with the prisoner near
by, the woman was asked
did be put the pen in her hand p
Yes"
And assist her while she signed
the will 2'
Yes"
How did he assist her ?"
by raising her in tho bed and
supporting her when he had raised
her,"
did he guide her hand ?"
No"
did he touch her hand at all p
~ think he did just touch her
hand"
When he did just touch her hand
was she dead 7"
At this last question the woman
turned terribly pale, was seen to
falter and sank in a swoon to the
floor, and so revealed the truth
which she had come to deny"

A man is q man down to his
thumbs. and a woman is q woman
down TO her little toes" writes DIR.
Havelock Ellis in his book MEN
and Women" There is hardly a
measurable quality Of any sort
which is not unlike in the two sexes.
Women even button their garments
on the other side from that chosen
by men and choose Sunday instead
of Monday as their favorite day for
making way with themselves. So
far as laboratory tests 20 DR.. Ellis
says that women are unqnestionably
superior in general tactile sensibi-
lily and probably superior in the
discrimination Of tastes, with no ad-
vantage either way In the case of
the other senses. Women have bet
ter memories, read more rapidly,
bear pain better. recover better
from wounds and serious illness,
are less changed by old age and live
longer.
Furthermore. according to the
same authority. women have rela-
lively larger brains, especially in
the frontal region. Ithas long been
said that women are the more like
children, but DR.. Ellis says that
men are the more like apes. Wo-
men, in short, are more civilized
men. and civilization itself is but
the process of making the world
lady like. In fact, the only thing
left in which man is superior is
muscle. Men are two, three and
even four times stronger than wo-
men and the occasional exceptional
woman hardly reaches the level OF
the average man.
Even between the age of eleven
and fifteen, when girls are taller and
heavier. boys still retain their sin.
gle advantage in strength. Men,
too. If slower of mind and quicker
of body, have greater lung capacity
and more blood corpuscles and ex-
hale nearly twice as much carbon
dioxide. But men are less able To
endure CONTINENT and bad air.
This physical superiority man
shares with the males OF all the
higher animals.

NEW APPROPRIATENESS TREATY.
Each Power to Assist Other if Attacked
 by Another.

London, Sept. 1.-The conclusion of the new Anglo-Japanese treaty of al- Iiance, which the Associated Press an- nounced on August 25, had been signed, has only now become definitely known to the English newspapers, which are keenly interested in 1t, and are anxious ly discussing it's probable contents.
 An important modification binding either power to come to the assistance of the other if attacked by one instead, as in the old treaty, of two powers, causes inquietude in some quarters, where 1t is thought to add enormously to Great Britain's responsibility; but on the whole complete satisfaction is ex- pressed as to the scope of the new treaty as far as it is at present known.
 The Daily Telegraph representing the views of the government and well re-5 fecfing the opinions of a majority of the newspapers, in an editorial says:
 .iThe new Anglo-J Japanese treaty will guarantee the terms of the Portsmouth treaty. It will check any insane idea of Russian revanche, will render im- possible any anti-Japanese coalition and effectually terminate, the scramble for China. x-r..
 It Is supposed that the new treaty established an unqualified defensive al- lance between Great Briatin and Ja- pan, and 1t is believed not unlikely that India is. included in the sphere of terri tory over which thetreaty aims for the preservation of the status quo. Should this nroVe the case its value to Great Britain will be enhanced.
