BoYISH MIND WAS WORKING.
Younoster on His First Sail Over the

None Of US ever quite forget those

Of this period Is, ut any rate, suG-
ciently vivid. so that the remark Of
. small boy could contribute mate

among the passengers on n Of the
excursion steamers running from
Manhattan across the harbor to
Coney Island.
The steamer made her way across
tho bay, lodging tugs and ferryboats
fortunately meeting no pirate craft.
The passengers, escaping gladly from
tho city's heat, nibbled their sand
wiehes and enjoyed the breeze. The
walters moved about the deck with
their trays. The boy, Just from the
inland town, where his life 80 far
had been spent, sat rapt and wide

GOOD coLoRs FOR HOUSES.

It is not generally known-not even
among painters-why certain tints
and colors wear much better than
others on houses, and the knowledge
81 just what tints are best to use is,
therefore, rather haZy.
One writer on paint, in a recent
book, says that experiments seem to
show that those coloys which resist
or turn back the heat rays of the sun,
which allow these rays to pass
through the film.
Thus red Is q good color because 1t
turns back, or reflects, the red rays,
and the red rays are the hot rays.
In general, therefore, the warm
tones are good and the cold tones are
poor, SO far as is concerned. In
choosing the color of paint for your
house, select reds, browns, grays
and olives which, considering the va
rious tones these tints will produce.
will give a wide range from which to
choose.
Avoid the harsh tints, such as cold
yclioWo NAhS iclHOA), COIu 6IeeHS
(like grass green, etc., and the blues.
1t must be understood that no vir-
tue is claimed for tints in themselves,
irrespective of the materials used In
the paint. Any color will fade, and
the paint will scale off, if adulterated
white lead or canned paint is used,
but If one is careful to use the best
white lead-some wellknown brand

An OId-Eashioned Idea.


Bishop c. H. Brent, of the Episco-
pal church in the Philippines, has
old-fashioned notions about tainted
money. He does not believe, as the
Republican leaders do, that "all Is
fish that comes to net" and has there
fore refused to accept $1,000 offered
for charity by agents of the Manila
Jockey club. "It is claimed by the
churches that gambling is carried on
to such an extent as to be seriously
impeding the development and prog
ress of the islands. The citizen
churchmen of Manila have organized
a Moral Progress League, and it was
a donation to this body that vas re-
fused"
Now, ii Bishop Brent was laboring
in the United States he might think
that subscriptions from the life insur-
ance corporations to the Republican
national committee in 1904 were ia
ken from funds that should have
been sacred to the widows and or
phans of policy-holders, and were
therefore tainted money. His old
fashioned ideas would doubtless de-
mand restitution, and if confronted
with President Roosevelt, for whose
campaign and on whose behalf the
tainted money was subscribed, would
like Nathan of old, say Thou art the
mani" return this tainted money, or
order restitution to be made by Chair
mar Cortelyou of the Republican ma
tional committee, to clear your skirts
of the scandal.

GERMAN
Regards tbs Roosevelt "stsndsp Par
Policy ss U~nfriendty.

The news of the stand pat" agree
ment between President Roosevelt
and Speaker Cannon, has evidently
been taten by the Emperor d Ger
many as meaning that the admins
tration has gone back on It's prom
ises of urging Congress to grant re
ciprocal trade agreements with Ger
many. Last March Germany put In
operation q maximum and minimum
tariff; the maximum rates being VIZ
tually prohibitive. TO prevent this
closing OF the German markets against
our products a temporary arrange
ment was made by the two govern
ments, by which the minimum tariff
was to be only exacted for the time
being, or until legislation was en-.
acted by congress for reciprocal tar.
if privileges. Congress refused to
act, but the German government was
led to believe that the president
would more strongly urge action at
the next session. But when the news
was flashed across the ocean that
the president had surrendered to the
ultra-protectionists, and that the
sacred tariff was not to be dis
turbed, the German government very
naturally believed that it was being
played with, and on July 81 the Ger
man ambassador is stated by the
Washington Post to have virtually de
livered ar ultimatum to the state de.
partment and threatens to rescind the
tentative agreement and to at once
charge the maximum rates against
imports from the United States.
The question amongst the diplo-
mats now is, who will back down, the
German emperor OF President RoOse-
welt? The president having commit
ted himself to the "standpat" ele-
ment, finds himself in an exceedingly
awkward position, for to concede now
that he will urge congress to make
tariff concessions to Germany would
be to 90 back ON his declared policy
of standing pat and would bring de-
rision upon the management of the
congressional campaign. It's pretty
hard for a diplomat to ride two horses
going in different directions, but per-
haps President Roosevelt will be
equal to the occasion.
Our farmers and stock growers,
who will be the principal losers when
Germany imposes the prohibitive tar
if rates, must see how our high tar
if policy is forcing other countries
to retaliate with a high tariff wall to
match own, or even to overtop it,
and the question must naturally
arise in their minds whether it is
good policy for them to elect a con.
gress that is pledged in advance to
make no concessions on the tariff.
Individual Republican candidates for
congress may pledge themselves to
vote for tariff revision, as some did
when the last congress was being
elected, but as long as they tie them
selves up by going into the Republi-
can u and vote for a standpat
speaker, events show they are virtu-
ally endorsing the high tariff policy.

THE LIFE OF A BATTLESHlP.
Costly Engines of War Soon Become
Obsolete.

The new navy is very rapidly be-
ing retired to other uses, or to the
scrap heap. The cruiser Bancroft has
just been transferred to the revenue
service, and this Is the third ship of
the new navy to go off the active
list, the Philadelphia, built in 1889.
being the first and the b~attleship
Texas, built in 1892, the second. The
Philadelphia cost about 81, SOC, 900 and
the Texas over $4,000, 900. The life
of our war vessels, therefore, is about
an average of Is years, and the ex-
penditure for repairs during that
period very nearly equals the original
cost. AS the large cruisers and bat.
tleships are worthless for other uses
and cannot be sold for use in the mer.
chant marine, we may expect to see
in a few years all the fine ships OF
to-day broken up Is worthless. In
case of war the slow old battleships
are an incumbrance, and the new and
faster ones, which, by the way, cost
two or three times more than the old
M did, would be compelled to limit
their movements to the speed that
their consorts could develop.
This shows the vast cost of con
stantly building and repairing a feet
of ~battleships, and the people who
pay the taxes should urge a eason
BILE restriction on these expensive
playthings, which are so costly and
utterly worthless in q few years.
To show the extent to which other
countries, as well as the United
States, are going in this race for su.
premacy on the seas, news comes
from Italy that she is building a bat
'tleship that will far exceed the Dread
nought, the latest English battleship.
both in size, armament and speed.
How much this war engine is to cost
is not stated, but It must approach
the sis, 900, 900 mark. Thus the poor
overtaxed and impoverished people OF
Italy are to be further stripped OF
their earnings for a war vessel that
it is safe to say will lev fire a shot
in real battle or protect the people
of Italy from aggression. The build.
ing of this sea monster will, no doubt
excite President Roosevelt to again
recommend an appropriation for a
rival warship that will outstrip this
latest creation.
It is hardly possible to suppose that
this country and Italy can become so
involved that powder would be
burned unless a strenuous admins
tration of the future should want to
try out" the battle monsters, instead
of settling a dispute by arbitration OF
mutual f~orbearance.
In consequence of the protection
policy Of the Republican party. We
have but little merchant marine to
protect. so a giant navy is a useless
and expensive luxury, and we have
now more than enough ships to police
our seas on our own hemisphera-

Disregard Farming interests.

OF the $226, 900, 900 of increase IN
