A PEN PICTURE OF ROBERT HOE.
How the Great Printing Press Manu-
facturer Appeared to a Visitor.

From Success.
A favorite maxim of Robert Hoe is that
ii is better TO get behind a thing and push
IL along than TO put yourself in front and
drag it after you. In other words, it is the
WORK. not the man, that is important and
deserves attention In this expression of
the innate reserve of the man we find the
explanation of the fact that Mr.. Hoe is
never quoted In the newspapers that he has
helped to make possible, and the further
fact that. while there are thousands of men
who can tell you about the Hoe presses.
there are very few who can tell you of the
master craftsman who directs their pro-
duction.
MIR Hoe is what we designate a silent
man; that is, he speaks little, but very
much To the point He has an air or ele-
giant leisure. but works harder than any OF
ais employees. His action in the hundreds
OF matters that claim his attention daily
s. deliberate. but decisive. Not detail of
his vast business escapes him, whether Ii
relates to the thousands of workmen and
hundreds of kinds of machines working In
the production of presses in his two big
establishments in New York and London.
OF 10 the probable effect of improvements
in the manufacture of paper or ink or
plates upon his own particular branch OF
the printing business. Although of means
and disposition that might naturally incline
him to rest his oars and take his ease, he is
to be found regularly at his office, studying,
planning and executing. In other words,
he is the embodiment of his own cherished
fnaNims of concentration and thoroughness
You need not talk long to Mr.. Hoe to
know that he is & shrewd business man,
but at the same time you realize that he
is devoted less to money-getting than to a
desire 10 make his institution of the great
est possible usefulness in the printing art

ance when my statement made The
evidence which l have seen is conclusive to
my mind that my statements in the New

ports under the protocol were incorrect

action hereunder.

to create everywhere there the impression
that the agreement of January 20 would be
carried into effect at the date mentioned
in 1T, since 1t was generally admitted by
natives and foreigners alike that the prompt
execution of the protocol would not only
prevent the then impending revolution but
would also render subsequent disturbances
of the peace impossible.
1T is true that the custom house at
Monte Christi has been turned over to the
United States government at the request
of the Dominican government, under the
provisions of the arbitral award of July IA,
1904-a wise and fortunate measure, in my
opinion, for all concerned"

Value of College Education.

SucCess-
We apt 20 overestimate the value of
an education gotten from books alone. A
large part of the value of a college educa-
ton comes from the social intercourse of
the students. the reinforcement. the but
tressing of character by association. Their
faculties are sharpened and polished by the
attrition of mind with mind, and the pitting
OF brain against brain, which stimulate am
bition, brighten the ideals and open up new
hopes and possibilities. Book knowledge is
valuable but the knowledge which comes
from mind intercourse is invaluable.

Dame Fashion ordains a season
of laces: most beautiful laces. What
is more beautiful than the floral
world-reproduced in lace? Exquis-
lite specimens were seen at the Palais
Royal. Entire robes are here for as
little as $1,000. Match sets, COM
prising great festoons, bands and
edges. at SOC to $500 a yard, repre-
sent the rose. the bluebell and the
edelweiSs: not the old-time fiat de-
signs. but in all the fullness and
beauty of nature itself. These are
accumulated by Dame Fashion, not
only for the trimming of elaborate
costumes of eolienne, wolfe and silk,
but are equally favored for the trim
ming of the smartest tailor suits.
Another feature this season is the
Baby lace While the designs are
small, they are conspicuously raised
effects and most attractively new.
There are aIl-overs, bands. galloons,
fiouncings and separable medallions.
Irish crochet, Lierre, AlencOn, Pom
padour, PrincesSe and whole array
of new combina tions that are most
effective and pleasing.
''One of the newest net effects is a
venise applique. The venise is cut
out and applied right on to the net,
and in some cases the net is partially
removed. This is merely one form of
the light and heavy combination idea,
that is both fashionable and exquis-
tie
The separable medallion galloon
is another very strong feature of the
new season. These galloons will be
much used on both spring and sum-
mer gowns. Net top laceS and chif-
fon rulings for the sleeves are
shown in infinite variety of beau
tiful effects. and at very reasonable
prices"

Congressman Fordney is certainly not
afraid of the cars when it comes to let.
ting the administration, as well as his
constituency, know where he is at on
matters pertaining to reciprocity with
the Philippines. Congressman Fordney
has been with Americans for American
products first, and then favored nations
afterwaId if there was anything to be
gained. Congressman Fordney comes
from farming district and he knows
that the farmer has been the first to
suffer from free trade relations when
ever they have been established and he
does not propose to be ag'in his country.
The bill which is to come up before con-
gress provides for duty on all goods
coming from the Philippines into this
country, excepting sugar and tobacco,
and on those articles provides for duty
of % per cent of the present Dingley
tariff rate.
Il am heartily opposed to the bill, !"
said the Saginaw congressman, land
shall do all in my power to defeat it, for
! believe it would work great injury
and injustice to the sugar interests of
the country"
There are. other congressman in the
state elected by farmer votes that are
not standing pat on this question. -Sug-

SUGAR FicHTTo.eE AHARD ONE
Congressman Fordpey, Home For
Holidays Is Not Discouraged.


From Saginaw Courier Herald.
Congressman Pordney arrived home
ats o'clock Yesterday afternoon. The
congressman left Washington Monday
night and went to Boston.
Things are going smoothly at Wash
ington," he said, I'm the matter of the
Philippine bill the showing made before
the committee has habits effect. There
will be opposition to the bill. 1 am op,
posed to it and I know that many others
are. The strength of the opposition can
not be determined at present. The
president and Secretary Taft seem to
have set their hearts on the passage OF
the bill No others are so much inter.
ested in it as they are.
cit Isl significant fact that in connec.
ton with the effort to rush the bill
through it is known that Philippine
sugar now in New York in bond will
yield something like sSO0,000 to those
interested in it if it can be held in bond
until after this bill passes, if it can be
passed. Of course there are many con.
gressmen who hesitate to oppose meas
ure advocated so strongly by the presi-
dent unless they have some personal in
terest in it.
WON'T BENEFIT FILIPINOS.
81 believe l owe my first duty to my
constituents. do not believe the bill
is in their interest and therefore I shall
do all in my power to serve them. Cub
an reciprocity has not benefited the
Cubans, but in % months it has lost for
the treasury Of the United States some
thing like 10000, 900 due to the 90 per
cent reduction of the Dingley rate of
duty. Everybody knows it has not
benefited the American users of sugar.
"This Philippine bill would not ben
eft the Filipinos any more than the
Cuban reciprocity benefited the Cubans.
The Havemeyer and brbuckle con-
Germs are the only buyers of raw sugar
in America. They are the sugar trust.
The benefits, believe, would accrue to
it.
"The statehood bills will not go
through without opposition. Okla
homa and Indian Territory may be adj
mitted as one state, but there is opposi-
ton to combining New Mexico and
Arizona as one state. If they are adj
mitted at all think it will be as indie
pendent states.
OTHER WORK OF THE SESSION.
"The matter of railroad rates will
receive much attention this winter
The bill introduced at the last session is
not entirely satisfactory to many. 1
think some action will be taken.
'The appropriation for the Panama
canal passed without opposition, but
as more money will have to be provided
than can be taken from the revenues,
a bond issue is practically certain. 1t
will have the opposition of the demo
Gratis.
1.-The democrats feel the smallness
of their minority keenly. But they
generally appreciate the generosity of
the speaker in giving them their full
of members on the princi-
pal committees.
