Republican Newspaper Makes
Some Startling Statements
TARIFF REFORM DEMANDED

tions Are Altered Massachu.

Column on or Before '09.

Washington. January 29.-(special.l-
That so strong a republican newspaper
as the New York Press should print the
following editorial article is regarded here
as at least little remarkable:
I'VE believe that Mr.. Bryan would give
tn country far better service In the Pres
ident's cabinet than Mr.. Paul Morton
gives. And this is not saying as much
for Mr.. Bryan as he deserves to have
said for him. We are certain Mr.. Bryan
would be vastly more useful to the coun-
try in the cabinet than any one or all of
the folio ing members of the United
ststes Senate: Aldrieh of Rhode Island
Dietrich of Nebraska Ellsins of West vr-
ginia, Spoon of Wisconsin. Burton of
Kansas, Mitchell of Oregon. Alice of
Delaware, German of Maryland, Stone of
Missouri Clarke of Montana. Depew of
New York, Platt of New York. Hans
brough of North Dakota. And when we
say this. too. we do not say much for
NJ. Bryan"
VIII Demand Tarit' Reform.
''The leaven of tariff reform is working
all over the country and especially active
In Massac chusetts,' said Hon. Charles S.
Hamlin, former assistant Secretary of the
Treasury, who is pleasantly remembered In
Washington. to reporter. II think

cessful Boston lawyer, and the same blood

that name. that Massachusetts can be
put down In the column Of states which
are sure TO express themselves at thhe
polls in the near future as emphatically
In favor of a revision of our present sys-
tenn of taxation. The inequalities of the
present tariff are proving so burden
some that there. -tfen1and Tor relief

So Ishero remained with the general
and was made an officer.
Later the general was ordered to
march through a wood to relieve a
Japanese force that had been cut off
from the main army and was about to
be oTerpowered by superior numbers.
The brigade started at evening, guided
solely by the sound Of firing, but after
dark the sounds ceased, and the gen

was moonlight, the ground was FIAT,
the woods were dense, and no one
could see a hundred yards. The gen.
eral called for 1shero. "Can you guess
which way we are to go?" he asked.
Ishero looked at the sky, then point

general.

For this shrewd guess Ishero was
made a colonel, and, his general hav'

very responsible position. He was
called the guessing aid. and the gen

Wisdom's Whispers

Life is like a chessboard where the
figures are moved by hand guided by
self-interest.
1t does not help things along to be
in a state Of perpetual irritability.
The human disposition is subject to
whims as well as to surroundings.
Each individual has a proportion of
good which is sufficient TO overcome
an evil tendency.
Many want most the things which
are owned or controlled by others.
Giving away to feelings of anger
shows want Of strength in your posi-
ton.
Ostentatous display pleases only
those who are responsible for IT,
Happiness often hangs on a thread
that is fexceedipglyi slender.
Stealing the utterances Of others
gives no lasting satisfaction.
Poverty has its lessons but few are
willing to accept them.

4 JRpBsL5l aJLBIER'S GUESSES

tOriglnall
When the Russo-JRpanese war broke
out Ishero Hitomi. a young fellow Of
Tottori, on the western coast Of the is
land Of Japan, was obliged TO leave his
mother aud a young girl, Okilli. whom
he loved and who loved him very dear
", to 60 and fight the Russians.
"NIy son will never come back" la
mented his mother
but, mother, think how proud my
ancestors will be Of me in the other
world if 1 fall with my face to the
front"
Okiki, who was young and full OF
youths optimism, was inclined to take
n different view. Rather let us think"
she said. "that Ishero will come back

mo hope Of that" replied the moth
er. "He has never been fond Of fight
ing. He has always been a thinker,
forever hunting a cause for every eff
feet"
Ishero, bidding his mother be OF good
cheer and charging Okiki to comfort
her while he was gone, marched
aboard a steamer with a gun on his
shoulder and was transported TO Man
churia. There he campaigned with his
regiment, but since he was not braver
than the others there seemed no chance
for his promotion. Indeed, he took lit
tie interest in killing people. If he saw
/ a bird flying over his head he would
stop firing to wonder how 1t supported
itself in the thin air. SO he soon came
to be regarded as a dreamer by his
| comrades.
One day the brigade Of which he was
a part was standing on river bank
the general fretting and fuming be-
cause he could not get his men across
to participate In a fight in progress on
the other bank 1t so happened that
Ishero stood very near the general
Ishero had something to say to him and
finally mustered courage TO say it.
Il think, general" he said, "thaf
there is a bridge or a ford about a mile
below"
The general looked at the little pri
vate who dared thus address him.
"How do you know he asked.
Il don't know. l only think So
Turning to one Of his staff, the gen
eral ordered him to ride down the banl
and find out the truth of Ishero's sur
mise. The officer did so and returned
stating that there was narrow bridg
capable of crossing the men in singh
file. The brigade was marched dow

into victory. When 1t was all over tn
