BLUFFS ON THE TARIFF.

Any Time.

1.-THE new German tariff. which will

Yet the "stand.patters" are the only

Few OF them that will agree with their

For instance the Daily News and
others OF its kind would revise pro-
lection out Of the tarif schedules alto

would not do the job in a manner TO
lnjure American industries. They
have a scheme hidden away somewhere
BY which they can do all this.
Then there are the Republican re
gisers that have determined TO revise
The tariff In such a manner that all
the objections urged TO protectionism

Real Elixir of Life.

Contentment is the real elixir of
life. 1t is the real fountain from
which flows the waters Of perennial
youth. Sometimes it costs an effort, a
tremendous effort, to say it is all right,
but the man or woman who can say it
is much better off for thus looking at
the sunny side of the world than the
person who harbors grievances against
all mankind and walks through the
world burdened with the somber
thoughts of his disappointments. The
discontinued perhaps never stop to
think how much worse off they could
be; that no matter how few their
pleasures, there are those in the world
who have few or none at all; that
given health and strength and the full
possession of the senses, they are ad-
advantaged and blessed in the race Of
existence.

and from whom, it is more than like
ly, he received his inspiration. For
one thing, 1t is now known that his
first step in his fatal career of stock
counterfeiting was coincident with
the exposure of the woman's crimes
in December, 1904.
The securities he deposited as col
lateral for large loans were utterly
worthless. The signatures of munich
pal officers attached to them were
forgeries of the crudest kind. So as
sured was Prior's confidence that his
credit would carry this fictitious "a
per through that he made scarcely
any effort to disguise his handwriting
when signing other mems names I'M
der promises to pay thousands.
The statement is made that fifty
smaller Ohio banks hold spurious Sc
curities sold by Prior. In none of
these cases will the losses be large.
The American Bankers association
has directed an investigation of the
sale of forged bonds to see if Prior
had any assistants - the forgery.

LANDSMEN IN THE NAVY
Middle West Largely Represented Uncle
Sans Battle ships

Not more than 5 per cent Of the
men of the United States navy are
Aliens We have 30,S04 man-of-wars
men, and of these 24,913 are native
born Americans. Naturalized Ameri-
cans number 3,415 and 1887 have de-
clared their intention of becoming
citizens.
OF these nearly $1,000 men, it is
interesting to learn that no fewer
than 2S,319 are whites. The remain
ing $500 men of color include 1925
negroes, 513 Japanese, 9S4 Chinese,
PIT F1lipinos, 81 Samoans % Porto
Ricans, 26 Hawaiians and North
American Indians. This surely is va
riety.
We see no Filipinos, Samoans or
Eawaiians on the continent, because
the Filipinos are used among their
native islands, the Samoans police
the island Of Tutuila and the Ha-
waiians are kept at the naval station
at Honolulu.
OF the men of the navy who are
not citizens of the United States, an
extraordinary variety of former resi-
dence is discovered. From the Cape
Verde islands in the Atlantic, the
Caroline islands in the Pacific, the
British East Indies, Armenia, Rou-
mania, Turkey and Samoa these
sailor lads have come to serve under
the stars and stripes.
The subject of assertions from the
American navy is one which excites
much discussion, and in some quar-
tiers apprehension is expressed that
assertions are an extremely bad sign
of something. But during the year
only 1927 men deserted, which is
less than II per cent of the total en-
listed strength, and this is said by
competent authorities not to be
alarmingly large.
The chief of the bureau of navi-
cation, the philosophical Rear Ad-
miral Converse, says that the navy
can stand comparison in respect of
assertions with any other calling. He
asks, how many young men, after
trying one trade, will abandon it for
another? And he points out the
peculiar temptations on shore to
which the men of the navy are sub
jected, and the number of apparent
assertions which are only delays in
reporting for duty.
Admiral Dewey said recently that
most of the bright young enlisted
men Of the navy come from Chicago

Not the Worst Literature.

One of our correspondents wants
to know If it is not time to call
halt, in fact, to place an embargo,
on the further publication and even
sale of all dime novel literature"
Perhaps he could do it, but we con-
fess that we would neither like to
undertake the job nor see it under
taken by anybody else whose name
occurs to us at the instant. 1t strikes
us that for the suppression of such
dime novels as are really bad under
any rules of imaginable formulation
there are already laws in full album
dance and that all the rest may well
be permitted to take their chances
with the public to which they appeal.
And we are not bit worried, either,
about the effect they have upon that
part of the public. The boys who
read these little books might easily
employ their time to worse advantage
and we are not aware of any distinct
iy and measurably evil influence they

and the middle west. The navy de-
partment has prepared figures which
show that one-fifth of the enlisted
personnel are supplied by the states
Of Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri and Ne
braska.
Those figures have their sig,
nificance as regards groups of states,
but the fact is, that New York leads,
with 5,54S of her sons in the navy,
and Massachusetts follows with
1911. AS a matter of percentage of
population, Massachusetts sends a
greater ratio than New York.
Pennsylvania is third, California is
fourth, Ohio is fifth and Illinois
sixth, in the number of representa-
tives who enlist in the navy. 1t is
an interesting fact, that there is not
a state in the Union which has not
its representative among the en-
listed naval force of the United
States. Indian Territory and Ari-
IONA, New Mexico and Oklahoma
also are represented.
For obvious reasons fishermen
were once the best sailors, and they
make good sailors to-day. 1t is told
how Commodore Hull in the Constitu-
ton fought the British frigate Guer-
riere in the war Of 1912, and won a
glorious victory with a green crew
that he had just picked up from
among the fishermen of New England.
Now, however, sailors are not need
ed to operate the giant machines of
the modern man-of-war, and so from
the interior recruits are coming who
are as good naval men as any in the
world.
With the commission of new men
of-war, more men will be needed for
the navy, and the department has ask
ed congress for 5000 additional. At
least five battleships and a number of
other craft will have to be commits
stoned in the year 1906.
There is no doubt that the navy
will be able to get as many men as
it wants and can have with the per-
mission of congress. Throughout the
country during the last year a total
of 41,239 men presented themselves
for enlistment, but the requirements
observed caused the rejection of 2S,-
097 applicants.
More than 10000 applicants were
accepted. These figures are sig
nificant, when 1t is remembered that
the total number Of assertions were
only 1927.

One Problem of the Day.

The displacement of really skilled

gathered in a grove in Williamstown,
Mass, to hold a prayer meeting. Soon
thunder storm came up, and they

continued their talk on the need of
spreading the gospel into Asia, and
they determined to go to that heather

1t has ranked as one of the show
places Of the city, and usually was
visited by strangers. In the evening
it was the rendezvous for business

the West hotel was supposed to have
been made as nearly fireproof as pos
sible.
