DiCKERiNG STATESMEN.
Congressman Traded Like Pawns on
the Political Chcssboard.

AAAS \ Ia OA
the Political Chcssboard.
The startling statement has been Civ
en- o. at Washington that a compro-
mise has been effected between presi-
dent Roosevelt and Speaker Cannon on
railroad rate legislation and tariff revi-
sion. 1t seems that president Roose-
welt has agreed not to p%recipitate the
tariff question in any form in congress
until near the close of the session, when
he will send in u special message sug-
gesting the adyisability Of inaugural
ing at an early date what the chief
magistrate is pleased to call a reudjust-
ment Of the tariff" Speaker Cannon
on his part is to "see to 1t that, what
ever measure on the subject Of railroad
rates may be presented to the house,
with the administrations approval shall
be put through that body with as near
ly a unanimous vote Of the Republican
side OF the chamber as practicable"
This dickering Of these two distin-
gulshed Republican statesmen to try to
stem the tide that has set in against
their party could only be attempted by
Republicans. To coerce the represent
atives of the people by the use Of the
power OF patronage and favors that are
vested in the president and speaker is
an extraordinary spectacle. The Re
publican tariff reformers may we'll cry
out that the compromise leaves them
up in the air, for it is evident that the
proposed tariff message will be SEN to
congress too late for action at this SEES
sion, and as no tariff legislation can be
attempted at the short session next
| year the whole question Of tariff, trusts
and high cost Of living is postponed IN
til a new congress is elected, which
| will not convene until December, 1907.
1t is fair to assume that the presi-
dent is but lukewar1n in reforming the
tariff, and his promised message next
summer is to be a political stump
speech to attempt to hold his party in
line at the election in November, when
a new congress will be voted for. The
trusts and cc&lbines and all the special
interests that are plundering the peo-
| pie through the protection granted in
| l1C tlllll INV are llluS SldblCu dAUllcl
lease Of power, with the opportunity Of
| concentrating all their wealth and pow
er to elect stand patters to congress in
| enough districts to give them control
Of the Slxtieth congress.
The expected sub%serviency Of the Re
publican members Of congress to these
leaders for any plan that may be con
cocted to prevent q free and fair dis
cussion Of a great public question like
! the tariff issue and a vote SO the peo-
pie may know what their representa-
tives really stand for may fail Of the
unanimity expected. AS 1t is now, rep
r%esentative government is only in
name, for congress and the country are
really controlled by two men, who,
though entirely opposed to each other
ON nearly every Issue, compromise and
dicker to suit their own purposes, and
congressman are but pawns on the po-
lltical chessboard.

POLITICAL MILKING.
Am Art In Which Republicans Are
Thorough and Skillful.

'1IAOTOuSn ihu SAAAAAuAs
1t is reported that a great improve
ment has been perfected in the ma
chine for milking cows. 1t is a Won
derful device, but the Republican ma
chimes for milking the life insurance
and other corporations have beaten it
to q standstill as far as results are
concerned. Why, it is stated that Mr..
Cortelyou, the chairman Of the Repub-
lican national committee, and Mr.. Bliss,
the treasurer, succeeded in so milking
the life insurance and railroad and
protected trusts and corporations that
after c%orrupting the voters to the great
est extent possible there still remained
100000. That large sum would have
bought enough milk to have foated a
battleship in one Of the largest dry
docks. And yet even President Roose-
welt looks upon the gentlemen named
as honest men, although they demand
ed and received the money Of the trust
funds provided by policy holders to
insure their widows and orphans from
want.
Then, again, the political milkman Of
the Republican congressional commit
tee, Mr.. Babcock, was a~ssiduously
milking the same corporations. Also
the milkmen Of the Republican state
machines were nc laggards at forcing
the tactical fluid from similar sources.
rs the evidence of Senator Platt and
others shows. Republican senators
and congressman. some of whom are in
the tolls Of the law, initiated the pat
ent applied for by their political SUI
periols and succeeded in milking other
institutions for their political or per-
sonal benefit.
Political milking is an art so thor
oughly understood and practiced by
many Republican politicians that it is
difficult to release their hold on the cor
poration teats, and nothing but turn
ing the rascals out" will reform them.

See Virtue in Silver Rjnus,

Silver rings are worn by laborers in
certain European countries, the own
ers being firmly convinced that such
a ring is a sure protection against fits.
This idea has probably arisen from the
fact that mercury, commonly called

remedy for epilepsy, and by an erro-
O process of reasoning silver has
been credited with similar virtues.

LOVERS LANE.

It goes beneath a checkered arch
or leaf and sunlight, oak and larch:
Athwart a mead of meadow sweet
A field of lily bordered wheat;
through groves of bridal birch it turns
And messy hollows, deep in ferns;
Then up hill and down a glen.
From Nowhere out and back again.
And many feet have worn it plain
That Grant way of Lovers Lane
There, unafraid. the wood folk olay:
There wanton briars dip ana sway
To catch and keep whatever comes
And make much work for clumsy Thumbs,
OF loosing tress and lacing shoe
Such tasks as lovers love to do
Of tales there told with eye or tongue
need not tell-if We were young
Nor yet of castles reared in Spain
BY architects of Lovers Lane
If Lovers Lane we wander through
That roadway's rule is two by two
Although the path is wondrous straight:
For here's hedge, and there's a gate
A brook, stile. a quaking moss.
The strong must help the weak to cross:
Then, deep in shade ere set of sun.
Its dells are never safe for one
Still (must the sorry truth be known)
In Lovers Lane l walk alone,

REPAIRING BRAIN.
A Certain Way by Food.

Every minister, lawyer, Journalist,
physician. author or business man Is
forced under pressure of modern condi-
tons to the active and sometimes over
active use of the brain.
Analysis of the eXcieta thrown out
by the pores shows that brain work
breaks down the phosphate of potash.
separating it from its heavier compan-
ion. albumen, and plais common sense
teaches that this elemental principle
must be introduced into the body anew
each day, if we would replace the loss
and rebuild the brain tissue.
We know that the phosphate of pot
ash. as presented in certain field grains,
has an affinity for albumen and that is
the only way gray matter in the brain
can be built 1t will not answer to " Ike
the crude phosphate of potash of the
drug shop. for nature rejects it. The
elemental mineral must be presented
through food directly from Natures
laboratory.
These facts have been made use Of in
the manufacture of GrapeNuts, and

WHEN NEW YORK DID'T vorE.
1t Couldn't Agree on a Candidate at tho
First Presidential Election.


Indiana cast three electoral votes for
President before its formal admission
into the Union, under circumstances de
scribed i'll The New York Sun. and it is
the only state which has done such Il
thing.
New York. long recognized as the most
important state politically. took no part,
in the first Presidential election. it was
stituted, which did not.
Prior to the election of 1924 there was
no popular vote for President through
Presidential electors. The Legislature
of each state selected Il candidate for
President. and the voting for President
included the vote for vice president as
well, the candidate receiving the second
highest vote for President being chosen
vice president.
The first choice of Il President was
made on March 4, 1889, in this city.
The New York Legislature met i'll jan
uary, but its members could not agree
upon a candidate, though popular sentl-
ment pointed to George Washington as
the first President of the republic.
The two branches of the Legislature
had a deadlock, and as it couldn't be
broken before March New York was en-
tirely unrepresented in the first l'resi-
Dental election. On April 80 President
Washington was lnaUgurated III this
city. and thus New York had some
share at least. in the election OF Press
dent in a contest in which it did not
cast a solitary electoral vote.

How Bees Embalm.

Bees can embalm as we'll rs any under
taker. All intruders on their hives are
slain and embalmed carefully.
If a worm, or q roach or any insect
blunders into a hive. the bees fail upon
him and STAY him With their stings. To
get the corpse out would be difficulty:
therefore, embalming it, they let it re-
main.
The embalming process of the bees is
simple 1t consists in covering the
corpse with hermetic coat of pure wax.
Within the alright envelope the body re-
mains fresh. 1t cannot i'll any way con
taminate the hive.
When a snail plumbers in among the
bees they cannot kill him on account OF
the protection of his she'll SO they en-
balm him alive. They cover him, shell
and all, with snowy wax. He is a prls-
oner whom only death releases.-A1inne-

Deafness Cannot be Cured

only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Ia

this tube is infamed you have rumbling

entirely closed. Deafness is the result. and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out

SIGNS OF LONG LIFE.
Points Which Promise Good Old Age to
Their POSseSsor

The woman who desires long life must
have eyes round and wide rather than
long and narrow, says Modern Women.
If they are brown or hazel life will be
longer than if they were black or violet.
The brow must be ample and slope
back slightly from an absolute perpen-
dicular. The head must be wide behind
and over the ears
The brow must be wide and full and
we'll set and the chin square and firm.
The nose must be wide and full
through its whole length. and have open,
easy. dilating nostrils This indicates a
good heart and good lungs.
If the orifice of the ear is low, indicat-
ing deeply seated brain, there is a bet
ter chance of long life.
The woman who appears taller in pro-
portion when sitting down than when
standing has a good chance to live long.
If the body is long in proportion to the
limbs the heart, lungs and digestive or
ganS are large.
