u the Theorlsta.
Today even idleness has become a
text for child study. The infant must
be tnught to be Idle as he must be
taught to work. The theorist who
shudders at the vision of the alphabet
and the theorist who intends every
pastIme to convey lesson toss the
child between them like shuttlecock.

ton OF school means leisure. that the
child must have it In abundance and
that he must be protected and shelter
ed from the activities OF the great
world" Accordingly he is occupied
from the time he Is three years old
doing something which Is to mold his
character for life, and an audience OF
adults brea thlessly awaits the outcome
OF every fresh experiment He Is pro-
tected from books 0his natural friends.

with such unprecedented prosperity
throughout the country in general and
in the state OF West Virginia in parnc-
ular, is it not up to every serious-mind-
ed West Virginia voter to let well
enough alone? Can they afford TO again
heed the doctrines OF the Democratic
party by which they were lured TO the
shores of financial ruin in 1892? Do
they again want to kill the goose that
laid the golden egg of prosperity In
order to give the Democrats another
chance to try their disproven theories?
With a wholesome state admindstra-
ltion, Just tax laws and a national ad-
ministration that has given the country
an era of unprecedented prosperity and
wise laws, could one imagine time
when LET well enough alone" was such
good advice?
senator Elkins has had no small
hand in the remarkable growth of West
Virginia in the past 20 years. He has
built miles and miles of railroad. 1t is
true that he has made money. But the
enhanced values in farming lands and
timber and coal lands. and in town
property where his railroads have gone
have added 10 the wealth OF almost
every man. woman and child in the new
sections he has opened up. It was Sen
ator Ellxins who organized the Repub-
lican party of West Virginia into a vic
torious host that took from the Dem
ocratic party the control of the state.
1t was he who brought the people Of
the state millions of dollars by securing
a duty of 81 per thousand on lumber
1t was he who saved the country some
ten million dollars by thwarting the
Cleveland Morgan bond deal. 1t was
he who gave the country the Elkins
law, prohibiting rebates, praised by
Theodore Roosevelt, Uncle Joe Cannon,
Secretary Taft and all leading states
men, and upheld by every court in
which it has been invoked. It was he
who secured the amendments which, by
the testimony of Democrats and Repub-
leans alike, constitute the most valu-
able and important features of the rail
way rate law. The people of West Vir-
ginia will do well by returning Senator
Clkins to the senate. a vote for Re
publican candidates for the legislature
and for Republican congressman will
let well enough alone and be the best
thing for the state and country. The
people OF West Virginia have reason to
be proud of Senator Elkins as a citizen.

PRETTY EYES.

Il Takes cnre and Patience to Ac-
auIre and Preserve Them
The woman who wants pretty eyes
will not have them circled with dark
lines. Nor will she have great eye
sacs uudcr her eyes. The pretty girls
eyes urc never heavy in the lids. They
are never laden underneath with great
bags They are never red as to the
lashes. and the brows are never I'M
ruIy.
On the contrary. the eyes of the pref
ty girl are OF the shining variety. beau
tlfulIy clear. and of the kind which can
open wide and look one right in the
face
To get eyes like this one must not
abuse the eyes. The girl who sews late
at night, the girl who rubs her eyes,
the girl who lets her lids and lashes
become neglected, this girl cannot hope
TO have pretty eyes.
The eyebrows should not be neglect
ed The woman who wants nice eye
brows can heat little almond oil and
apply it nightly to the eyes with
small brush. In this manner the eye
brows can he influenced. Often they
are inclined to grow strnggly. But by
painting them with brush regularly
they can be trained into shape.

The most gigantic harp ever con-
structed. as far rs the record goes, was
that mnde by Verltan. the provost of
BurkIi, near Basel, Switzerland. in
1877. That WAS Il long while ago. but
the fame of NJ. Vcritnn's gigantic harp
was such that it is still occasionally
mentioned by writer's on the rare and
the wonderful. just as the sea serpent,
bloody rain, live mastOdons, etc, are.
NJ. Verltan's colossal musical instru-
,nent was $50 feet in length, and, on
that account, was constructed in an
open lot instead Of in II harp factory. 1t
was most sImplcin construction, con-
sisting of fifteen wires strung tightly
between two poles These wires were
of different Sizes the largest being one
sixth of an inch in diameter and the
smallest one-twelfth of an inch. They
were stretched north and south and in
cIined In such Il manner as to form an
angle of from twenty to thirty degrees
with the horizon. This queer instrument
was not intended as an exaggerated
toy. but was constructed for the ex-
press purpose of foretcIling changes in
the weather. which were calculated by
Professc.- Veritnn according to the diff
fcrent tones the instrument made when
the wind was blowing through 1T.

Never has any policy adopted by a
great political party had such ample
indication as the protective tnriff pol
l.y Of the Republican party.
When that policy was abandoned in
1883 by the Democrats. when in power,
ami the Democratic party passed the
wilson free trade bill, there followed
4 depression in business from Maine to
Mexico and from New York to San
F. tncisco. Four years of hard times
tnat the Democratic tariff policy
brought on the country was enough for
the people. and their votes from that
day TO this have been a protest against
the resumption of free trade or tariff

| political purposes of the Republican
party. But these prophecies have beer
proven to be false Since then pros
perity has increased in an even greater
ratio than before. With times SO pros
porous in 1900 that the Democrats were
afraid they were too good to last" and
the Republicans could promise no more
than a continuation of those prosperous
times, a new era of prosperity has set
in and 1900 itself has been eclipsed-
More Men, Better Pay.
The output of the factories of the
country are worth more than billion
dollars more than the output of the
factories IN 1900. The capital invested
in these establishments is a billion
dollars more than in 1900. There are
hundreds of thousands more wage
earners at work than in 1900, and they
draw over s6OOOOO.OoO more in wages
than they did in 1900. These figures
have been taken from the official cen
sus reports. and can be verified.
The South Feels IT.
Even the hitherto sIow-going South
is feeling the QuickcufnE influence Of
protection. The capital invested in
North Carolina factories increased
from Sos. 900 900 in 1900 to $I41.0o0,000
in 1905. The wages paid increased from
s14. 900. 900 to s2lOoO,O0o.
The capital invested in Missouri en-
terprises increased from S223. 10000 to
1878. 600 OGO in the same period and the
wages paid increased from $46,Oo0,O0O
to SOC. 100000.
Even in dreamy Arkansas the CAPT
tai invested in manufacturing enter
prises had increased from $25.OO0,000
in 1900 to $4,000, 600 in 1905 and the
wages paid from s1o,OOO,O 900 to s14,-
OOO. 900.
The same sort of figures might be
for every Southern state. They
also show mp in the statistics for every
Northern state.

and prosperity cannot be duplicated in
