THE Wall OF The TRUST.

The recent wall of the Massachu-
sets shoe and leather trust that their
business was being nurt by the pro-
tective tariff on green hides, and that
all kinds Of leather goods would be
advanced fifty per cent unless the
Dingley bill was repealed, is given a
solar picks blow by i, .,l1am e. Curtis,
the noted newspaper writer, in an ar
ticle from Washington. In this con-
nection it is interesting to recall that
Governor Cummins made journey
down to Boston and in great speech
there advocated the admission of free
hides that the great industry might
not be killed and that the trust might
profit at the expense of the cattle
raisers Of the west.
Mr.. Curtis says:
"The statistics concerning our ex-
pert trade in leather goous furnish an
interesting study. Notwithstanding
the tariff on hides our manufacturers
can compete in foreign countries with
the local producers and make money.
This is due to the superior machinery
and the more intelligent labor employ
ed in the tanneries and shoe factories
of the United States. We import
hides in vast quantities from every
corner of the globe--from Europe,
Asia, Africa, Australia and the ISL
ands of all the seas; convert them in
to upper leather splits, buff,
grain and sole leather, ana then ship
them out again to be manufactured
into harness, boots and shoes and 9th.
er articles, and in many cases to the
very countries from which the raw
material came. And, Notwithstanding
the tariff imposed by the Dingley act,
our exports have increased from $l2,-
275,470 in 1890 to $27,16s,614 in 1900
and S3S,946,422 in 1905. About one
half Of these totals, mas been upper
leather for the use in the manufac-
tire of the uppers Of boots and shoes
Ia total of $16,1s5,S06; about one
fourth is sole leather, and nearly all
the balance, except about a million
and half dollars worth of miscella-
neous articles, was represented by a
standard quality of substantial but
llow-priced, machine-made footwear.

The taxes against the Hanna Man
ufacturing Co, enormously assessed
against the capital stock. rather than
against the personal property repre-
sented in the raw material in the es-
tablishment, we're recommended by
the City Council to be reduced from
an assessment Of $4,000 to $4,000.
Inc settlement was in tiic nature OK a
compromise of Mr.. Cleaver's allega-
ton that the sum should be about
$4,000 ana the claim OF others that
$4,000 should be assessed. Further
than this the Council had no business

Editor Herald: So much mas been
written and said against base ball
the writer would like to say few
words in its favor. DIR. Talmage once
said in one Of his talks, The word
come is much more persuasive than
the word go. z NV
So we think IL the ministers and
persons interested wound say, Come
boys, let us have Sunday school in
the morning and game Of ball in
the afternoon; or, boys, let us go to
the ball ground and have little re-
ligious exercise there-the boys would
be much more apt to imbibe some re-
ligion than when they are forced to
go to Sunday school against their
will and prohibited from the good,
healthy exercise Of playing game OF
ball.
1t would seem as though they are
much more innocently employed out
on Gods green sward, where the eyes OF
God and man can see what they are
doing, than spending the day as some
boys do that are made to keep Sun
day nursing a grudge against the min
listers, their parents, and even God.
For our own part we never knew a
person that had Sabbath keeping for
tie main point in their religion that
had any religion in any other way.
The writer knows people that new
er miss Sunday school and would not
play a game of ball for anything on
Sunday, but it seems as though they
have neglected 10 learn the ten COM
mandments. At least,tney never seem
to mind stealing or breaking all the
rest, only that one of keeping tie
Sabbath.
We know family that had to
send their sen away on account OF
trouble ma cot into Oh account %
keer;ng Sunday.
Boys that played ball-those same
boys have not had to leave home yet.
For our part 1t seems as though there
is no reason why Dase bali and relig-
ion cannot go hand in hand.
And for our own part we always ex-
pect to be friend to the boy with
the ball and bat. This is written on
the principal that any fool can make
q suggestion. And hoping that some
wise persons will take it up and meet
the boys half way and make Sunday a
day of profit and pleasure to all in
stead of a day of contention.
Many a mothers Sunday is made
miserable trying to keep her boy in a
back yard, where people can't see
what he is doing. She only succeeds
in driving him to some underhand
meanness that he never would think
of were ne playing rail.
Many boy that is housed all week
in some store or shop or Office has no
chance except on sunday to get some
good healthy exercise. And we feel
sure an All-Wise Father would not
deny them that if they had some one
to guide their behavior. Such as a
minister or two that had their good
will and they respected.

THE SHILOH MoNumE Nrs.

The question of inscriptions on the
monuments OF the Fifteenth and Six
teenth Iowa regiments at Shiloh has
been finally and officially settled. 1t
is adjusted substantially as the veter-
ans of those regiments wanted and
the matter will not again be reopened.
In a letter sent to Senator Allison,
Secretary Taft gives formal notice OF
the fact that the inscriptions have
been determined upon and that the
decision is final and will not be recon
sidered. In the case of each regiment
it is recognized that it is entitled to
go down in history as having taken
part in the fighting on Jones' field
in the forenoon of April 6, 1862.
In the case Of the Fifteenth regi.
ment, after describing the movements
it underwent on the morning of April
6 and its taking position in the loca.
ton where it fought that morning, the
inscription adds:
'Its colonel commanding officially
reported that the regiment held its
position from 10 o'clock in the fore
noon until IL o'clock noon and then
under orders retired to new line"
In case Of the Sixteenth, after a
preliminary description Of the regi'
ment's movements on the morning Of
April 6, the inscription reads:
"Its colonel commanding officially
reported that the regiment formed a
line Of battle here about 1890 in the
forenoon and advancing to the edge OF
the timber held that position for an
hour or more and then retired under
orders"

Miss Mary Lawler, Cincinnati
school-teacher, holds that cleanliness
is the foundation of good character.
Every morning before recitations she
holds "dress parade" during which
such people as need it are brought un-
der the influence of soap and towels.
Missing buttons, unbrushed hair and
dirty shoes also come in for careful at
tention. The school authorities claim
that as result Of this policy there
has been distinct gain in discipline
and self-respect among the children.
