Be Careful.

Speaking before the house COM
mittee on ways and means, Secre-
'sary Of War Taft said that it would
be as just to establish tariff5ctween
the states of Ohio and Pennsylvania,
as between the United States and
Ithe Philippines. He insisted that
free trade would have to come be-
tween the islands and the United
States if we continue to hold them.
That sounds very much like q
"populistic" speech. If Mr.. Taft is
not careful he may be driven out of
tho republican party, along with
ether republicans who insist that
tire government shoult. not be con
dueted for the benefit of the special
interests.-The Commoner.

Plain Drunk.

Judge McAuley, of Kansas City,
in committing Il "plain drunk" gives
utterance to the following: "If 7 had
my way / would not only close every
saloon in the country, Sunday and
week days, but would stop the sale
of Intoxicating liquor in any shape or
for any purpose whatever. Iwould
make it crime TO manufacture the
stuff. This may be far-reaching, but
the sentiment i9 justified by the
sights and experiences in this court
room. Ninety-iive per cent of the
cases tried here are the direct result
of whiskey; the other five per cent
includes morphine and cocaine
fiends and few petty grievances that
come before me for adjustment. The
woes that arise from the use of
whisky, the ruined men and women,
the broken families, the griefs and
tears, all aired in this court, are
enough to turn gray the hair on a
buffalo robe

TIE MARCH SMART SET

The Smart Set has fairly outdone itself
in the March number, which marks the
beginning of the sixth year of its exis-
tence. The complete novel is "The Prin-
cess Elopcs,n by Harold MacGrath, 'aE
author whose immense popularity is due
to the fact chat he is a born story-te teller.
Mr.. MacGrath is at his very best in this
charming tale OF a European primer So ana
young American medical student. 1t IS
delightful blending of romance and del
icate humor, touched everywhere with
the deft hand of an author who has mas
tered his craft. Nothing better of its kind
has appeared in magazine in many a
month.
Among the dozen short stories in this
number about half are by att}1prs who
brave bees, either entirely Unknown
hitherto to magazine readers or are Sust
coming into prominence. 1t has always
been the avowed policy Of The Smart Set
, 70 encourage young authors, and this is-
sue proves the wisdom of the policy. One
Of the best stories in the magazine is ga
Venial Offense," by Norveli Harrison. In
marked contrast to its humor is thepow-
erful and dramatic motive u BeatriZ
Demarest L!oyd's ga Man Unlearned."
William Hamilton OsGnrDe's .."The
Transfer Of Thorneycroft" is strikinE''u
clever and satirical story OF phase of
smart society, and "The Transit of a
Soul" by Frances Aymar Mathews, is SO
strange and unusual that it defies class
ification. Other stores, equally clever,
are by Kate Jordan, Van Ts3sel Sutphsn,
Clinton Dangerfield, Julia B. Fceter and
Algernon Tassin.
Maurice Francis Egan has an entertain
ing and timely essay on "Questions of
Precedence" in which he discusses the
laws that govern social usages in WASH
ington.
The verse in the March Smart Set is of
remarkably fine quality, and includes
characteristic work by Madison Cawein,
Zona Gale, Arthur Stringer, Florence
Wilkinson, GOuverncur Morris, Edith M.
Thomas, r. X. Munkittrick and John
Vance Cheney.
If The Smart Set maintains the STAN
dard of this number even approximately
for the coming twelve months, the future
success of the magazine will be as sure as
its past

THE OLD DEACON.

In a village in Maryland an old deacon,
in shaving himself on Sunday prior to
church time, made slight cut with the
razor on the extreme end of his nose.
Quickly calling his wife, he asked her if
she had any courtplaster in the house.
"You will find some IN my sewing bas-
ket," she said.
Finding it he soon had the cut covered,
and at church, in assisting with the col
lection, he noticed every one smile as he
passed the plate and some of the younger
people laughed outright. Very mitch an
noyed, he asked one Of his assistants if
there was anything wrong with his ap-
pearance.
"Why. should say there was,' an
swered the assistant. What is thai upon
your nose?''
"CouTtplaster, of course"

Where is the next generation OF
men coming fromY We mean men,
not the things that will result from
the aging of the young bl0ods who
promenade the streets with a coffin
nail between his teeth, eating at the
old mans table, wearing clothes that
the "old gent" pays for, and running
tick for their tobacco and beer.
Such as these will never make men,
no never; they will drift along with
the years until the father dies, or
else until they marry some silly
gum-chewing, tight-laced, high-heel-
ed girl just about as near halfbaked
as they are and start out in life, tai
tornado clothes and furniture un-
paid for. They will find themselves
with too little sense to make a liv-
ing without work and too lazy to
work and simply exist until the end
of the chapter with nothing to show
for having lived except a few more
frousy kids to propagate their in
competence. There will be plenty
of these, but where are the men com
iig from. There are exceptions
now 1t is TRUE. Young men and
boys have a future because they are
making it, bat they and their kind
should be the common rule, and the
halfbaked the exceptions. God
help the world when & man or boy
is singled out because he is indus,
trious, it should be one quality that
could be taken for granted.-Ex.
