Miss Blanch Macon of Aurora, ILL.,,

betrothed last Christmas to Lieuten-

wounded, she decided not to wait for
his home coming, but bravely set out
on her 10000 mile journey from
Aurora to Camp Downs, Island of
Leyte, to join and nurse him back to
health.
They were to be wed on his return
to the United States next February,
but she will hurry the wedding day
by going to him in the islands, where
they will be married as soon as he re-
covers from a gunshot wound in the
neck which he received while on

If Americans are willing to let Hal
tians and Dominicans cheat and swim
die and repudiate under the protection
of the Monroe doctrine they must ell
ther agree to abandon that doctrine as
to those republics or take them in hand
when they become an International
nuisance and compel them to behave
decently. If the United States is to be
their protector when their rights are
trespassed on it should keep them from
trespassing on the rights of others.
Let us settle this point without need
less delay. If the United States is to be
the international policeman Of this
hemisphere so that there may be no
excuse for a European policeman to
come over strutting here with his club
to chasten barbaric. lawless American
communities, let the matter lie definite
ly understood. Then when the emer-
gency arises all will know exactly
what is to be done-Chicago Tribune.

A DELICATE SUBJECT.
Tamperinx with the Tariff Likely to
Invite Disaster.

II is certain that the question of tar
if revision viii not be seriously consid-
cred before the assembling of the Fif-
ty-ninth congress with its overwhelm-
ing Republican majority and that the
temper of that congress will determine
whether there Is to be revision or not.
In view of the disturbance to buSi-
ness caused by the Democratic tariff
tinkeripg of Cleveand's day there will
be revision, if there is to be revision,
only after the most thorough cOnSidera-
ton of the subject and i'll response to
urgent public demands.
So far there has not been any pro
nounccd demand for revision. At any
rate the people have decided to intrust
the matter TO the good judgment of the
Republican statesmen.
The tariff was made Il leading issue
In the campaign, and the Republican
party warned the people of the coun-
trys past sad experience in allowing
the Democrats to tinker with it, de
claring that the matter of tariI re-
vision should be left entirely to the
friends of protection rather than its
enemies, who were at late day con-
Tossing the error of their antagoniSm,
long and uncompromising, TO the prin-
ciple of protection.
There is no doubt that the tariff is
an exceedingly delicate subject and
that tamperng with 1t today would be
more dangerous, with the great cX-
pansion of the country's business OF
the past few years, than it was when
the Wilson monstrosity was devised.
Moreover, it has been demonstrated
that the country takes no stock IN the
Democratic contention that the tariff
is the mother of trusts. so it is the
plain duty of congress to 20 slow in
the matter of tariff reyision.-Irenton
Gazette.

The Presidential Vote.

Some of the Democratic papers are
endeavoring to discount the popularity
Of President Roosevelt, as shown in
the recent election, by tie fact that
there was gain of only ,@out per
cent in the Republican vote. AS this
rate of gain is little less than normal
and has been largely exceeded in sew
eral other elections, the point is made
that the president is therefore not
more than normally strong with the
people This is not sound reasoning.
The small Democratic vote must be
accounted for largely because of the
unpopularity of Parker ana the Dem D
cratic position hut also in some meas
ure by the Indifference created by the
conviction that that tLere was no pos
sibility of Democratic victory. On
the other hand, the conviction that
President Roosevelt was sure OF cleo
ton excused many who We're in sympa-
thy with him and his policies from go
ing to the polls.-Kansas City Star.
Expert Testimony.
Colonel Bryan insists that congress
ia no fit place for an honest Democrat.

Mr.. j. W. Doebler of Milton. is
the inventor of a new voting ma.
chine. 1t is very simple yet ac-
curate device, which enables the vo-
ter to record his choice for the sever
al offices To be filed at any election
either by voting straight ticket, or
splitting it to suit his desire. 1t is
so arranged that you cannot vote for
more than one candidate for the same
office, except for commissioner, audi
tor, member of the legislature, etc =,
where provision is made for regis
tering two or more votes as may b"
required. When the voters open
the door to go out of the booth the
vote is registered and counted and
the job is done. When the polls
close all that is necessary to get the to-
tails is to open the top and take them
down. Mr.. Doeblcr's model is a
marvel of ingenuity. He has made
application for a patent.
