: Canada and the Tariff.

j: According to Sir w. Thoma Shau oh
Messy, president of the Canadiar. Pacific
railway, Canada does not want, anything
Of this country but a higher tariff. Can
ada is fast developing into a highsttariff
land and reciprocity between sssthesstwo
countries, we are told, is hopeless.ssBe-
tween two countries, both highatarlf
reciprocity which means mutual censes.
sions, would seem to be in order lEAe
only. thing necessary is an agreemfeeinatt mfeeiat
on articles which shall have REDUCED
tariff. This agreement is not likely to-
come, if the manufacturers in either
country are to be allowed to have the
whole say as what shall be done.
The tendency of high tariff is always
toward league of mutual defense and
offense between manufacturers. They
seldom agree that their schedules scan
be reduced. The action Of the Massa-
chusetts shoe manufacturers that they
would like reduction in tariff, on hides,
even if it involved a reduction IN the
rates on shoes, was exec ptional. There
are very few American mannf faetureIs
who can see it that way. - sS
Canada is now going Thru the s1-
premely unimportant process of hear
ings on The tariff schedules. The men
who have the. benefit Of the rates are
testifying freely that they are too low

Mark Twain,

Mark Twain, in his roundup. OF
Thanksgiving day overlooked one of, the
chief blessings of this country and that
ment of hnmor, and humor is the saving
salt of the country. 1t is frightful to
think of what tiresome country this
would be if we were not able to take a
Joke, even at our own expense.
. The universal, all-pervading, MOTTO
be-knocked-out confidence of the
American would be something awful if
it did not happen that he could occa-
sionalIy himself others see him.
Then the American shakes himself with
prodigious guffaw and goes on his
way with. a better idea Of his limita-
tions and his duties.
Mark Twain, who has kept the Amer
lean disposition down so that foreign
folks could, stand us and understand us,
deserves to be canonized as one of the
geniuses of his country. He is past 20
years old and is still turning out Jokes
which have the freshness and vigor of
a youthful view of, the world. Begin
ming his philosophical career in the far
west. he gradually worked his way east
like the boil weevi, and has eaten .up
every folly and idiosyncrasy: of his
countrymen on the way. He has ad-
vanced in literary style with the ad-
vance of the country in civilization and
manners. He has taken on the atmos-
phere of each distinctive period in
which he has written. Much of this
but from time to time he stuck a stake
which will remain.
Very few of humorous writers
have risen to the dignity and value of
Mark Twain. Most of them were the
wits Of their day and were unreadable
as soon as their day passed. Of the
| score of funny men who have orna
mented writing during the time Mark
Twain has been at work it is difficult tc
| recall the names even Of third. The
Danbury News man, Bill Nye, Josh Bill
| ings, have added nothing recognized
| literature. They made. their contem
poraries laugh and their remarks woulC
make posterity laugh, too, but posterity
will never hear of them, because they
| did not write literature. Mark Twain
the genius of American humor, will sur
vive all of the fun.making brood be
cause he has lived a long time, has beer
a part. of all kinds of life from the mos
primitive to the most refined, and ha
been able to express something ele
mental about each.

Rockefeller's Opportunity.

With all due Difference to Mr: Rock
efeller's superior knowledge Of the sit
uation, we cannot but believe that he
is losing a great opportunity at this
very time. It is the period of giving,
and we know that Mr.. Rockefeller has
been liberal during the past year in
giving money and still more liberal in
giving advice. He. has uncorked his
mind in a marvellous, manner to his
Sunday school class, and he has taken
the general public to his bosom in a
number of heart -to=heart talks on how
to behave toward man who has ev-
erything except sympathy and yearns
n for that. 4! i, - j
Much good as these givings have ac-
complished, we cannot but feel that
Mr.. Rockefeller should go a step far
ther and give that testimony wanted
in the suit Of the state of Missouri
against the Standard Oil company. 1t

A Rumor that the Rev. W. W. Boyd Is
to Become Editor of st. Louis World.
ST Jnuis Mirror.

Cls
There is a rumor about that Rev.
Willard w. Boyd, formerly pastor Of
the Second Baptist church; is negotiat-
ing for the purchase of the St.. Louis
World newspaper. This paper is now
generally believed to be owned and
Controlled by Colonel Edward Butler.
1t has been running over two years.
tho it has never made much Of a show
on the streets, because the other older
papers have a monopoly of the machin-
cry of reaching the people. The paper
was founded in order to fight Folk and
it certainly flied the bill. Rev. Dr..
Boyd was at first a great Folk man,
but when Folk refuted in letter the
Mirrors charge that the preacher
was advising him in the crusade
against the boodlers, the preacher drew
away from the prosecutor. AT that
time it was stated that DR.. Boyd had
bought or induced some friends to buy
stock in the World. DR.. Boyd later
supported Walbridge for governor. So
did the World DR.. Boyd has retired
from the ministry and has reproached
his successor in the Second Baptist pull
pit for the announcement that he
would not deal with politics in his ser
mons DR.. Boyd prides himself on be-
ing a politician. OF course. ne can be
an editor. Anyone can be an editor.

A Question for Foraker.

Senator Foraker's attempt to elm
mate the interstate commerce commits
sion as the agency by which new rates.
are to be put into effect wien old ones
are found to be unreasona iSIe ana sts,rrsssa as
that business all over to the COURTS Has
brought out a letter from President R.
II. West of the Receivers and Shippers
association of Cincinnati, in which Mr.,
West makes it necessary for Senator
Foraker to show why it is better to
have a rate changed by a. court than
by a commission
The president s proposition that the
commission shall name the rate and
that it shall so into effect immediately
or within a reasonable time, when the
old one has been found to be unreason-
. able, has been opposed by the railroad
men and their advocates with the prop
osltlon that this change Of rates ought
not to be made hastily or without a
chance for Il judicial inquiry. Thew
would have the matter appealed to the
federal court to see whether the Or
ders of the commission shall be sus-
tanned or, dissolved.
Their objection to the change of
rates by the commission is that it
would result in an upheaval in railroad
traffic and in radical and dangerous
readiustment Of conditions. Mr.. West
wants to know why, if such changes
would result so seriously, the conse-
quences would not be quite as bad if
the change were made by the court as
It it were made by the commission.
Railroad representatives profess to be
willing to allow the courts to pass upon
and change rates. What difference will
result to business if the rates were
changed by the commission, is MIR,
West s question, and which it is Nj.
Foraker s turn to answer, and while he
is doing so we would like to suggest to
him that in all probability a commits
sion can be and will be made I'D by
President Roosevelt Of men, much bet.

The Public Conscience.

AS Rev. L. H. Hallock pointed out IN
a Thanksgiving address today America
owes special thanks to the Most High
for the awakening of the national con-
science during the past year. Ihere IS
no doubt that the elections IN Novem-
Der were significant Of one thing ana
that was the reincarnation of the
American conscience. A recent issue
of the Saturday Evening Post called
attention, to the fact that the publiea-
tion of reports of the tremendous pros
-peritv of the country during the year
and the harvesting of an unprecedented
crop excited but languid interest. 1t
did not know whether to attribute this
to lack of understanding Of the Sig
nifcance Of the events OF the year or
to a safety of prosperity.
Tt was due to neither. The people
- cannot be dull to the Importance OF
material development nor can the imam
cial experts of the land be unaware OF
the significance of figures. The Ian
guid interest was undoubtedly due to
the fact that the public mind was at
the time filled with other .consldera-
tions. The higher mind of the country
= was for the time so aroused that It
swept all other concepts aside. The
people of the whole United States were
watching and waiting for the outcome
Of the Jerome and Weaver battles
against impure politics. The absorbed
interest in this fight was not misplaced
even if it obscured the thought of mar
kets and gains. Something was at
stake, something upon which markets
and profits are predicated. 1t was be-
ing decided whether America had q
public conscience left. When the de-
cision was made and made cmphatically
in favor of the, existence Of a high
standard Of right and wrong the Amer
lean people could turn again to ma
terial considerations with a feeling
Of relief, but not until then.
1t is the public conscience which is
putting the president s plans for a
square deal thru. Without aroused
and tender public conscience such al
altruistic campaign as he is waging fol-
rate reform would fail
How much the president has had to
do with the revival Of public virtue we
do not know, but it has been consider
able. His straig ghtforward appeal has
met with a ready response and his sue
cesses have justified his system. The
bringing about of peace between Rus
sia and Japan was great thing fo1
America, since it gave the president the
prestige Of a spectacular success. But
his intervention between the warrine
nations was on the lines Of all his do
nestle politics. It was simple, direct
strenuous and frank. It was the square
deal extended to world politics.
The contagious value of public vir
tue is seen in the great number Of me1
who have followed in the footsteps OF
the president in making oficeholding
service rather than a mastery Of the
public. Frank, honest and devoted pol
itics has become popular.
America has many things to thanh
God for, but for nothing more thai
