cans to swallow the dose? Why shouldn't he bow the knee to the al- legged trusts when he compels every American consumer to buy trust goods OF pay a heavy fine in the shape of du- ties on imports? Suppose a company were organized to dig a canal in any State in this Union and required ships and steel cars to complete the work of construction. Would that company be permitted to buy it's material in Europe free of duty on the ground that it need ed to be economical in it's expenditure? Wouldn't the Government say that the first consideration must be ''the protec- ton of American industry and labor" and that the home market must be pro- tected even if the private canal compa- ny was bankrupted by exorbitant home prices?
 A member of the Canal commission reasons this way: 'If the Isthmian Ca nal commission is not bound by any re- strictions of Congress as to where it shall purchase machinery, materials and supplies, it would seem to be its duty to construct the canal as cheaply as possible and so to buy what is need ed where it can get it cheapest.

RIGHT, BUT DUBIOUS

A systematic movement has been or ganizea in northern Indiana for a sportless Memorial Day in that locality. Perhaps this movement won't move much or many, but it ought to. Memo rial Day isn't exactly day to be devo- ted to having variegated fun, but it has become a day of games, excitement and dissipation. This is not surprising. Fast Day is ridiculous. Thanksgiving isn't much bstter, and even Sunday doesn't seem to be holding its own. The fact is that the mixed-up United States people are not like the old-timers, and there are many of them who are eager to utilize every idle day as gay day. So all the holidays are as gay and lively as the law allows, and sometimes more so. How to make Memorial Day, or any other day which should be rsasona- bly solemn what it ought to be is a problem which is not easy to solve. It probably will not be solved. Those who want to treat such days right will. Those who don't won't. And it is pain full to have to believe that those who don't and won't are and will continue to be in the majority.

SOARING THE DUTCH.

It appears that the smart Japanese are soaring even the stolid Dutch. Some of the Dutch newspapers of late have been advocating an alliance of Holland with Germany, as a means of guarding the formers Eastern colonies from interference by Russia and Japan. An eminent Amsterdam lawyer, in con- versation' with an English correspon- dent, said that what the Dutch fear most as the result of Japanese victo- ries is the ultimate annexation, either by warlike means or as the outcome of diplomatic action, of their Eastern pos sessions. They are endeavoring to ob- tain the protection of one or another of the great maritime Powers, and natu- rally turn either towards England or to- wards Germany, With the Germans, he remarked, the average Dutchman Is not in close sympathy. On the other hand, it is, he said, certain that for years past, under the dominant infiu- ence of Leopold IT., Belgium has been seeking a rapprochement with Holland. The two countries have common inter- ests both in the Congo and in Eastern waters. The frequent visits of Dr. Kuyper to Brussels, under the pretext of health. have undoubtedly. in his opinion, had political object. It is probable that Holland will to a certain extent follow the lead of Belgium and he believes that in the end England will find 1t to her advantage to draw into closer relations with both countries. . , The United States isn't yet scared, but 1t Is thoughtful

sHEY WANT 4 MAN LEADER.

Woman's womanity to woman has cropped out in Brooklyn. The agitation in the Class Teachers organization of Brooklyn has resulted in the trium- phant election of John B. Cottrell, the present head of that association, and the overwhelming defeat of Anna Lou ise Goessling, who ran upon the general plank that the women teachers should receive the same pay as the men teach- CTS. Out of over. 1000 votes, MT. Cot trell has 75 per cent. of all the votes cast, while Miss Goessling has only 25 per cent. Interest in this election was stirred up by the proposition to elect all women officers, who should be more or less actively committed to the policy of equal salary for equal work,' with re gard to the relative pay of men and women teachers. Although the women members are very largely in the major- ity, the policy has been to have man for President, with four women officials cooperating as an Executive Commit tee. The organization has not been committed to any stand on the equali- zing of salaries, and the more conserva- tive members have felt that it was not wise to take any aggressive steps in the matter. as this might imply lack of appreciation of thsir present liberal compensation, which is far in excess of what is paid in most other cities.
 This overwhelming defeat for the wo- man candidate is thought by the Brooklyn Times to be not necessarily an indication that the teachers do not fa- vor equalization in salaries. They be- lieve, however, that a man at their head will do more for their cause in general than can a woman.

Nicaragua has a lake which is distin- guished above all other similar bodies of water. In the annual statement of the trade and commerce the author of that document describes this lake. Its waters hold a strong solution of ,bicar- bonate of potash bicarbonate of soda and sulphate of magnesia. It is one of those few stretches of water outside of works of fiction which are actually lashed to foam by the action of the ele- ments. It is in reality lake of soft soap, says the Boston Transcript. When rubbed on any greasy object q fine, rich father is instantly formed The natives take it externally and in- formally, beside using it for a corn cure and hair wash. They are not blind, either, to the commercial possibilities of their lake, for last year they exported four denijohns of the water to neigh boring Guatemala.

4 HIGH OLD TIRIFF fNCTD EN3.

An interesting illustration of what a high tariff is is found in the announce ment that the Panama Canal commis- sion will buy ships, machinery and the material for canal construction in E,u- rope rather than pay excessive prices in the United States. For example, the commission can buy abroad for $750,000 two vessels which cannot be built in this country under $t,400,000. Thous- ands of steel dumping cars' will be re- quired for the work on the canal. The American price is 40 per cent. more than that of the European manufactur- CT. It is true our iron and steel manu- lecturers have two prices for their pro- ducts. In foreign markets they under sell the foreign manufacturer. At home they add the amount of tariff protec tion to the selling price, The American consumer is taxed heavily for the bene- fit of the foreign consumer.

British steel-making concern The Sheffield Steelmakers, limited, claims to have invented two new processes for the making of tool steel and if the claims for the new steels are supported by actual practice they promise much to increase output and decrease cost Of production in machine works. The first of the two is a moderate cost tool steel which is "air-hardening" and which will stand up under fast work. The other steel is a water hardening material capable of taking on an ex- ceedingly fine edge which will with stand usage which would turn the edge of any ordinary cutlery or fine-tool steel.

He computes the cost of boats of record to have been 43,OOo,- 900, cost of clubhouses and property at sS,00O,O0O, and the sum spent yearly for pleasure in yachting at sS,0o0,0OO.
