ON TO BALTIMORE.

In the language of the small boy
Baltimore is in her 'glad rags,
which is merely an expressive way of
indicating that the Greater city has
adorned her streets in flags and bunting
and much illumination in preparation
for the Jubilee week celebration which
will begin Sunday There has never
been such celebration in this part Of
the country planned on such a scale as
this and it will doubtless be long day
before there is such another. The pro-
gram that has been arranged is an
elaborate one and includes several
spectacular pageants. There are TO he
military. industrial. frcmen's. and
automobile parades on successive days.
The industrial parade of Wednesday.
September 18th, will be monster affair.
occupying two and half hours in pass
ing a given point.
This Jubilee week has been set apart
as period of rejoicing at the city's re-
covery from the effects OF the big fire
of February 1904. Baltimore has re-
ceived great credit for the way in
which it faced its great calamity and
made it contribute to the good of the
city The history Of the crisis shows
that the spirit of the community was
equal 10 the occasion. Offers of aid
from other cities were refused Balti-
more declared she was able 10 care
for her stricken people. The commun-
ity assisted those who needed help and
devised all necessary relief measures.
The work was carried on with prompt
ness. efficiency and economy In every
way open to them the people showed
themselves equal 70 the occasion. In
short, Baltimore made good The story
is one Of people rising superior to
those circumstances which threatened
to crush them down to the earth.
And il is this victory that Baltimore
proposes to celebrate during the coming
week. and which she has asked the
whole country round about TO join with
her in concentrating The affair will
be one of triumphant rejoicing and the
grand old town will have many thou
sands of enthusiasts from outside her
gates. to help make the celebration a
success.

PRICE OF FARM PRODUCTS
FALLING.

The farmer who votes the Republi-
can ticket IS scratching his head and
thinking seriously that something is
wrong with the protective tariff. He
finds the price Of wheat in the Chicago
market has fallen II cents a bushel in
less than six weeks. he also finds the
price Of corn and oats falling. and that
all he buys still continues at top prices
He has been told by the Republican
leaders and the Republican newspapers
that protectionism is the salvation of
the farmer. because il increases the
home market for his products and
keeps up prices and therefore produces
prosperity for the farmer as we'll as
the protected trusts As long as the
wheat crop was only moderately good
one in the United States. with short
crops abroad, protectionism seemed to
work out as the stand-patters said it
would. But now comes bumper crop
of wheat weighing over so pounds to
the bushel and good prospects for crops
abroad and down comes the price to
the export basis that is the price the
Liverpool market. where all other
countries compete, is willing to pay
and the beautiful theory Of protection
ism is found lacking The farmer finds
the tariff on wheat of 25 cents bushel
is a delusion and snare, for of course
no wheat is imported when we raise
more than can be consumed here and
have to hunt foreign market for the
surplus.
Ii will be rather awkward for Speak
er Cannon. and the other Republican
speakers. in the campaign TO elect a
Congress. TO explain to the farmers
how the tariff protects them when they
have 70 sell in the cheapest market and
buy in the dearest. There should be no
such trouble in explaining why all the
farmer buys has increased on the aver
age AZ per cent because the Republican
speakers can point with pride to the
prosperity of the trusts and combines
who are protected by the tariff.
Il is evident that these comparative
~ few protected interests are Of more
consequence to the Republican mana
gers. who declare they will stand pat
on the tariff. than thegreat agricultural
interests that are the chief basis Of all
the wealth Of the United States.

ROBERT r. HIT DEAD.
End Comes at Summer Home at Mar
ragansett Pier.

Narragansett Pier, r. I. - Con-
gressman Robert R. Hit, of Illinois,
died at his summer home here.
Heart failure following long period
of increasing physical weakness was
the final cause Of death. Mrs. Hit
and two sons, w. S. Hit and R. H.
Hit, were at the bedside.
WhenoCongressman Hit, accompa-
MED by'h wife, arrived at Kinney
Lodge, their summer home here, in
June, it was understood that the
Congressman was not in good health.
Robert Roberts Hit, for many
years Representative from Illinois,
was born at Urbana, Ohio, January
16, 1884. He was the second son Of
the Rev. Thomas s.. Hit. When he
was three years old the family moved
to Mount Morris, ILL.,, which place
was his home, for the remainder Of
his life. He had been chairman of
the House Committee, on Foreign Af-
fairs for many years. He was
friend of many Presidents and for
forty-five years helped to shape the
policy of this country, especially in
foreign affairs. He started as a re-
porter and made stenographic rec
ords of the Linceln-Douglass debates.

Grumbling Husbands.

AS the grumbling husband is rrac-

the letters which appear daily in the
columns of your paper are most in
teresting and Illuminating to an
American woman. With us the man
who marries takes wife to be the
partner of his joys and sorrows. Fur
thermore, the American wife is quite
as fastidious about her food as is her
husband, and would as soon resent
''stewed bacon and burnt eggs" the
result being that while she may not
actually prepare it, she can at least
direct her servants in the prepara-
tion of the meals.
To the young and Unhappy Wife,"
whose letter appeared in Fridays is-
sue and whose eyes "fll with tears"
l would say that tears and crinolines
went out of style at about the same
period in the United States. and that
an American woman would feel that
she was taking mean advantage Of
her husband should she take refuge
in tears. Don't feed your husband
on delicate entrees; give him roast
beef, boiled potatoes and stewed fruit.
It is the menu most appreciated by
the average Englishman, and it sure

CLOVER PERFUME.

There's a thrilling. tugging feeling
On each heartstrirg that | know,
There's perfume in my nostrils
From the fields of long ago.
There's a vision in my mem'ry
Making all the world grow dim,
Taking me away back yonder
Where us fellows used to swim.
And the visions central picture
Is a laughing blue-eyed maid
Standing in the rippllng shadows
Where we used to go to wade;
Z can see her pink toes cleaning
In the ripping stream where she,
With her skirts held safe from wetting,
Laughs across the years at me.
4 can see trees we climbed in.
| can see the streams we tished,
q can see the log we sat on
In those old days, when we wished
That we two were grown up people,
Gone out in the world and far;
Now-the greatest grief know OF
Is in knowing that we are.
q would rather be back yonder.
Back meath childhood's skies Of blue
Than to count my wealth in millions;
II could 60 dancing through
That wee stream we loved to wade in,
. CLIMB the trees we used to climb,
I would never wish to grow up,
I'd be happy all the time.
Comes the thrill along my heartstrings,
When the clover is in bloom,
Then my nostrils catch the far-blown
Tantalizing sweet perfume
From the fields l used to romp in,
And l hear Tilt OF glee,
And maid, barefooted, blue-eyed,
Laughs across the years at me.

Misplaced Pride.

"The late General Joseph Wheel
e." said Southerner, was one of
the bravest men who ever lived. He
was wounded three times during the
Civil War and sixteen horses were
shot dead under him.
Yet it was not his military. but
his literary achievements that he
took most pride in. He knew this
was foolish, but he could not help it
He said once to me, apologetically,
that he was not the only man whose
pride was misplaced.
He said that, in certain engage
ment in his youth, he once heard a
private swearing and cursing most
frightfully.
Lieutenant Wheeler, as he was
then, went up to the private and said
sternly:
Where did you learn to swear like
that?"
The pfivate at this question
smiled modestly.
"'Ye can't learn it.. he answered.

this is something of disgrace.
Many explorers would have reached
the poles long ago had it not been for
want of money. Most of the leaders,
if they had had more powerful ships,
more coal, more stores, more dogs
and sometimes ifthey had had fewer
men-could have solved the polar
problems. A million dollars judi
ciously spent would open the way to
the North Pole; few millions would
reach the South Pole. The map of
the world ought to be completed.
