public question of any kind arises that
does not interest Chandler, and on
which he does not have his say in
does not usually contribute illuminat-
ing thoughts and good advice On the
other hand, there is hardly a popular
subject which does not afford Chandler
vehicle for his we'll known wit and
satire
The ex-senator has been having
lot of fun recently with candidates for
the presidential nomination in 1908
He first sat down and wrote a letter
to Vice President Fairbanks in which
he praised the latter's ability as
statesman, expressed admiration for
his conservatism, predicted great popu-
larity for him as candidate, and
wound up by saying that he, Fair
banks, was the ideal candidate for the
presidency in 1908. In minute
hand Chandler added a postscript to
the effect that he had written a similar
letter to Secretary Taft, Secretary
Shaw, Postmaster-General Cortelyou
and Senator Foraker. Mr.. Fairbanks
did not at first notice this postscript,
and he sat down and wrote very ap-
preciative reply to Mr. Chandler, thank
ing him for the expressions of conf
dence he had uttered. and saying that
there was no warrant for the public use
of his name in connection with the
presidential nomination, but he was
very grateful to Mr.. Chandler for the
latter's preferred support
The waggish statesman did write
similar letters to all the other candi-
dates, but attached the qualifying post
script, and they all appreciated the
humor, as did Mr.. Fairbanks when his
attention was called to the little joker.
Secretary Shaw cut the postscript off
his letter and sent word to Chandler
he was going to use the latter in his
campaign, and exploit the New Hamp-
shire man as the original Shaw man.

wasp, singing this one and that. and
raising commotion generally. Mr..
Chandler wearied sometimes of the
dullness of the senate, and he would
purposely start turmoil, in order to
liven things up. On particularly dull
day. Chandler would nervously twist
about in his chair, glance up at the
press gallery, and, if he noticed some
of his newspaper friends there. would
give them glance, as much as to say,
look out for some fun"
Then the Senator would inject him
self into the debate, no matter what it
was, and he was invariably able to stir
up the opposition and precipitate
vitriolic controversy. 1t did not matter
what subject was under discussion,
Chandler could always use it as an ex-
cuse for saying something that would
stir up the democrats. When Senator
Ben" Tillman first came to the SEN
ate he was Chambers particular
victim. Tillman did not under
stand Chandler, and looked upon
the latter as possessing all the
narrowness and partisanship that the
southerners had been led to believe
characterized New Englanders. 1t was
the rule, therefore, when Chandler
prodded the democrats that Tillman
would respond and get quite excited.
The South Carolinian would get red in
the face, and denounce various policies
that Chandler and northerners stood
for, and before the excitement was over
half dozen senators would be mixed
up, and some pretty tart repartee would
be INDUCED.
After getting things moving along
to his satisfaction and having set a
number of his colleagues by the ears,
Chandler would quietly slip from the
chamber, chuckling ever the row he
had precipitated

big automobile came tearing along, and
just in front of the post office it struck
and killed big hog belonging to a vii
lager who was leaning over his gate at
the time.
"'How fast was the machine going?' I
asked of him, as he came out and looked
after the flying auto.
Forty miles an hour he replied.
Then you can make the owner pay
for. your hog
Yes, l suppose so, but don't think
I shall fool with the CASE
Don't you think the hog is worth
going to law about, eh?'
He was a fine hog, and I ought to
be paid for him, but me and the old
woman have been grouty at each other
for week, and I've been aching for q
chance to open out on her. This is just
what 1 wanted, and I'll let the auto 60

foreign market. For years past Amer
lean consuls abroad have written re-
ports and given advice upon this sub
ject, and warned American shippers
to foreign ports that they must con-
form to the business methods of
the countries where they expect
to sell their goods All this agi-
tation, however, has not made the
American shipper as wise as he should
be.
In a recent report from United States
Consul McNally, in Belgium, some very
appropriate hints are given as to how
to increase American foreign trade.
He says that American manufacturers
contemplating an entrance into foreign
markets must show their products
possess the merit claimed for them,
and must meet the traditional trade
customs, especially in the all important
matter of credit Buyers abroad de-
sire to see the goods before paying for
them, and as this right is freely &C
corded them by the manufacturers of
other countries, they cannot understand
why American manufacturers do not
follow the same policy. In many cities
of Europe the retail dealer extends to
his customers a credit of six months
or year, and manufacturers of the
larger European countries sell goods on
any terms to suit the retail buyer

Are the Packers Receiving Fair Playe

Are the Packers Receiving Fair Playp
When the Garfield report on the
business methods Of the packers ap-
peared, after eight months investiga-
ton, 1t was severely criticised and
roundly denounced. After three
morths Of publicity it is significant
that those who attempted to discredit
1t have failed to controvert the figures
contained in that exhaustive document
The public is beginning to notice. this
omission, and the feeling is rapidly
growing that the sensational charges
out of which the Beef Investigation"
arose were without foundation. If the
official statements Of the report are
susceptible Of contradiction, a good
many people are now asking why the
facts and figures are not furnished to
contradict them.
The truth seems to be that most of
the charges contain unfounded sensa-
tional assertions. A fragrant example
OF this appeared in a recent article In
an Eastern magazine, to the effect that
forty Iowa banks were forced to close
their doors In 1904 by the Beef
Trusts manipulation Of cattle prices. y
Chief Clerk Cox, Of the banking de-
partment OF the Iowa State Auditors
office, has tabulated the list Of banks
given In the magazine article and has
publicly denounced the statement as
utterly untrue. He gives separately
the reasons for each failure mentioned
and officially states that they have
been caused by unwise speculations
and by reckless banking methods. It
may be well to suspend Judgment upon
the Packers until the charges against
them are proved.

The shyness of Luna at being out
alone after night joined with the
thick banks of clouds which covered
the sky prevented much of the eclipse
of Monday night from being seen.
About II o'clock the clouds parted for
a few moments and those who hap
pened to be abroad at that hour saw
the moon with part of its face obscur-
ed. Reports from many places state
that scientists had little opportunity
to observe the eclipse, but they had
expected to learn little or nothing
new on account of the occurrence.
