FINISHING CARRIAGES.
The Many Coats OF Paints and varnfsn
Required.

Required.
One often wonders at the cost of an
article, and entertains doubts as to ito
moneys worth, until lie has seen the
process Of its manufacture and gets an
understanding Of It's intrinsic value
Few realize what an amount of work
is necessary to put the fine, smooth
finishes on the driving wagons seen on
the speedways and parks. 1t is this
finish which really costs the money
that the manufacturers ask for these
vehicles. The New York Sun gives an
account of the labor required to en-.
amel a first-class driving wagon.
Fourteen coats Of white lead. paint
and varnish are put on a welLfinished
wagon, and after each coat is put on
it has to be almost rubbed off again.
First the plain wood is sandpapered
until it is like satin. Then a filler of
lead is rubbed well into the pores OF
the wood, and rubbed off again with
powdered pumice-stone and water.
leaving only what has gone into the
grain. After three coats Of this filler,
coat Of black coloring matter is
rubbed in, and the process repeated IN
til the body is we'll stained, and is as
smooth as the original wood.
Then the work Of polishing begins.
Coat after coat of varnish is put on,
and when dried, rubbed with pumice
and water. Six or seven coats treated
in this way bring fine polish, and
then fine quality Of thin varnish is
used for the finishing. Two coats of
this are rubbed down, and then final
coat is put on quickly and smoothly
and left as it dries. This makes the
glossy finish,- and after it hardens for
two or three days the wagon is ready
for use.
If the primary coats are not well
rubbed down any little unevenness
will show through all the succeeding
coats. All the work must be exact and
thorough. 1t is very hard to repair any
wagon that has been scratched or
knocked. The only way to make it
look we'll again is to take off all the
enameling and do it over. When the
amount Of work required to finish a
wagon is comprehended, one realizes
why it costs so much.

MAINTAINING THE BALANCE

Learned men are devoting their
time and their brains to devising ways
and means of saving and prolonging
life, and other men, equally learned in
their way. are devoting their time and
their brains to devising ways and
means of ending life prematurely.
That is, the latter are engaged in the
invention of various rapid transit ma
chimes and rapid transit methods, and
these machines destroy more people
today than did the plaques of olden

the type, she seems; so careless of the
single Iife," complained a poet once.
But nature cannot permit herself the
luxury of caring for the single life
If every life were so protected that 1t
attained maturity and reached old age
the world would be overpopulated and
race suicide would be recommended
instead of decried as it is today

man as well as the elements are en-
ployed to keep this planet from be-

nature might find herself facing an
awkward problem.
AS it is, although people may live
longer in the future, no more of them
will live, perhaps, than have lived in
the past. Not all, only the fittest, viii
continue to survive. And this in spite
of the fact that 1t is the spirit Of the
present age to substitute a more hu-

SO Justify for the past generation or so

the East has been rifiing his clothes Is
giving a preliminary waking up yawn.
The Chicago Tribune, commenting
on the Johnson speech, says:
That was powerful speech made, by
Gov. Johnson. before the Merchants club
Saturday night. 1t struck responsive
chord in many breasts. 1t touched a
live wire
Following Gov. Johnson's argument,
the Tribune says very fatty that the
West is going to be for Western man
for president in 1908. 1t will have none
of the candidates which the East is al
ways so cheerful in proposing. The
Tribune says it may be Fairbanks, or
Foraker, or Cummins, or La Toilette, or
Deneen, and it may be none of them.

Of Republican possibilities only. But

ditions that should be upset tomorrow,
not years from now Moreover, there
may not be any Republicans in the
West in 1908.
The man in the White house is not
all there is to the federal government.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been taught that
truth quite forcibly of late. The crimes
committed by the East by which the
West suffers might be checked in some
measure by an executive who knew the
West, was in sympathy with it, and
had working agreement with the CO.
ordinate branches of government The
regeneration of the politics of the
country will help the West by driving
the money changers out of the temple
of our liberties. But it is not neces-
sary to wait for a presidential cam
paign to begin the work. 1t should be-
gin today. The arousal of public SEN
timent, the waking UP of that spirit Of
the West which made Chicago a possi-
bility and created empires in decades
will do the trick. If we wait for the
next presidential campaign the East
will have the cards stacked again. A
declaration of industrial, commercial
and financial independence is due now.
Chicago, as a populous center repre-
senting in a disheveled and disrepu-
table way the spirit of the real West,
is in a position to put her John Han
cock to that declaration today. Very
respectable persons have followed
rather disreputable looking leaders in
great movements involving the well
fare of the common people, so there
would be no doubt about the West
submitting to the leadership of Chi
cago if it was rightly directed.
Gov. Johnson put bee in the bonnet
of Chicago. We will await for the
present the result of its buzzing.

A DE LUKE EDITION OF CRIME

Our old familiar, the penny dreadful,
seldom pictured the villain in evening
clothes, smoking choice cigars and
giving utterance to clever bon mots.
On the contrary, it took special pride
in painting most unfiattering portrait
of him. 1t never permitted him to in
dulge in lachrymose reflections con-
cerning his past, in pathetic illusions
to some hereditary or atavistic
blight, or in sentimental imaginings
about what he might have amounted
to had he chosen a different path In
life. The penny dreadful villain was
a thorough paced wretch without a re-
deeming trait, and the reader was
never lured by fine writing into an
expression of pity or admiration for
him.
And for this very reason he was far
less dangerous. so far as his influence
on the morals of the reader is con-
cerned. than the villain de luxe who
is now having certain vogue in polite
literature. The other day a youth of
nineteen was arrested in New York
for highway robbery, and in an inter-
view he explained that the example
of a stage hero, a gentleman who
moved in the best society and who
took advantage of his position TO rob
his friends, had suggested to him the
career he had adopted. The boy when
taken to the police station tried to ap-
pear nonchalant and epigrammatic
like his favorite hero, but, fortunately,
he broke down and wept. Taking this
incident into consideration, his future
is not without hope.
1t would be impossible to say to any
writer that he shall not create a VII
lain de luxe, or to any actor that he
shall not exploit such a character on
the stage. Yet it is doubtful if the
much abused penny dreadful has ever
had quite so deleterious an influence
as some of the latter day romances
that picture thieves as gentlemen. If
the truth were known it would proba-
bly, be found that their influence
reaches further than imaginative
youths and romantic school girls. In
the minds of many older people fine
clothes make up for many deficiencies
in morals and upon these the specious
reasoning of the rogue in evening
dress is not without it's effect

The PRICE OF VICTORY

The fact that rumors of contem-
| plated peace overtures come now from
st. Petersburg instead of from other
| European centers seems to promise
that Russia has no intention of plan
| ming for spring campaign in the far
East. Tolerably well informed as it is
of the condition of domestic affairs in
Russia, the rest of the world has good
ground for the belief that the signing
| of peace protocol is now a question
of weeks merely. Reports from Ber-
| lin indicate that Germany favors peace,
and this attitude of the kaiser's reveals
better than anything else the hopeless
ness of Nicholas cause in the East, for
the two northern nations interests are
almost identical there.
If Japan obtains all that rumor says
Russia is willing to grant her, her
victory will be a sweeping one Su-
zerainty over Korea, the ownership
of Port Arthur and the Liaotung
peninsula, the neutralizing of VladI-
vostok and of the Eastern Chinese
railroad-these must more than COM
pensate her for the blood price she has
paid for victory. But nowhere do the
interests of nations clash more fierceIy
than in the Orient; nowhere is the
slightest advance regarded with great
er jealousy. Emerging from the war
an acknowledged great power, it is
more than probable that Japan will
find that her troubles have just begun
Even if she is permitted to receive all
that report says Russia is willing to
grant her. her old enemy with the as
sistance of Germany will continue to
menace her dream OF empire on the
mainland. Her hope lies in internal
conditions remaining bad in Russia for
some years to come. But in this event
Great Britain will be a more lukewarm
ally than she has been throughout the
war, if, indeed, the alliance survives
victory. For her fear of Russia's de-
signs on India once lulled, it will be
easy for Great Britain to persuade her
self that her foe in the far East is
Japan.
The great war for supremacy in the
Orient has not yet been fought. Per-
haps ii will not be fought in this CEN
tury. But unless a great change is
wrought in the purposes of nations and
in the character of peoples, such a war
must be fought. Countries nowadays
can get along with surprisingly little
territory, but foreign trade. foreign
markets are Indispensable. No nation
will be permitted 10 become so strong
that she will be able to close for her
OWL benefit the open door of trade.
Every alliance the Island Empire may
