Encourage the Youna Poet.

Every man, woman and child should
write poetry 1t is like boils, it pre-
vents worse sickness. If there were
more poets there would be fewer Grim
inals. Poetry is in every mans blood.
If he doesn't write it at some time or
another during his life watch out for
him. His wild oats are unsown; they
will rot in his system and sour his ma
ture, Write poetry, therefore, so long
as there is jingle in your soul, ex-
claims the Emporia (Kan.) Gazette.
The man who would advise corking up
poetry unwritten in a human heart
would soon have all the world full of
brain storms and the devil to pay.
It's a great business, this poetry bust
ness. And the man who hasn't had
his fling with love and dove and spring
and wing and skies and eyes apd true
and you and girl and pearl and lips
and sips and honey drips inspected
and guaranteed absolutely pure) is
like the man who died aged 72 years
without being hungry-he missed a
lot Of fun filling up.

SURGEONS MISTAKE
NOT VERY SERIOUS; HE ONLY
CUT OFF THE WRONG LEG.
Inasmuch as Experimental Tinkering
with the Tariff Might Also Prove
to Be a Mistake the Wiser
Plan Would Be Not to
Cut Off Either Leg.

The New York Times makes bold
we should import more goods, and
we should also export more goods. y
Import more we certainly should IL
our tariff rates were lowered, and
more yet If we had no tariff at all.
If to increase our imports be the
main consideration, why have any
tariff?
But does it follow that our exports
would increase in equal ratio? And,
If so, what sort of commodities would
we more largely export than we now
do? Certainly not manufactures, for,
even though the American wage
standard were to be reduced down to
the foreign level-a proposition, by
the way, which opens up vista of
grave consequences which no man
can contemplate without shudder of
fear and dread-our lower priced
goods would not be allowed to invade
the markets of manufacturing coun-
tries. Corresponding wage reductions
would inevitably occur in such coun-
tries. The workers in European
mills and factories must somehow
and at some wage be employed.
Otherwise chaos comes again.
Not in foodstuffs could our exports
greatly increase under a lower tariff
or no tariff, for the reason that by so
much as we should succeed in dis
placing production or in reducing
wages in foreign countries, by so
much we should reduce their ability
to take and pay for our surplus food
products.
No; it does not follow that greater
exports go with greater imports. 1t
was not so from 1898 to 1897. We
are now exporting fully twice the
quantity which we then exported.
Reduction of the tariff with view
to increasing competitive imports
must of necessity break down the
American wage rate. Nobody, we
believe, disputes that The free
trader and the tariff "reformer" will
tell you that wages are too high and
ought to come down, but that lower
cost of living will compensate for the
cut in wages. This is like infiicting
a stab and then pouring balsam into
the open wound. The pain may be
less, but the wound is still there, and
it was not there before. The ques-
ton, then, is whether it is wise to in
flict the stab: whether for the mere
pleasure of trying experiments in the
treatment of wounds we should apply
the knife.
The healthiest condition known to
the history of human labor and pro-
duction exists in the United States to-
day. Il never made but one really
serious mistake" said great sur
geon. WAS it attended with fatal
consequences" "Oh, no." was the
reply; Il merely cut off the wrong
leg" In the present case the wiser
practice would seem to be not to cut
off either leg. Let nature take it's
course. The American body polite
requires no tariff surgery of any kind.

Not Quite Killed.

Forty years of almost exclusive at
tention to domestic trade has killed
our instinct for commerce across the
seas. IN. Y. Evening Post.
Not exactly. The instinct appears
to be very much alive Forty years
ago, in 1866, our exports We're $34S,.
S59,522 In 1906 they were $1,79S..
1855, an increase of 500 per cent.
In 1866 our total foreign trade was
$7S3,671 ,5SS; 40 years later it was
S3,119,172,6 ,649, not counting trade with
Porto Rico and Hawaii, which will
bring the total to nearly s3,200,000,.
0OG-an increase of over 400 per cent.
Forty years ago our imports were
S434,S12, ,060 40 years later they were
$1,321, ,064,6 ,694. All this would seem
to indicate a considerable attention
to foreign trade, and with fair de-
gree of success. 1t suggests that
while taking good care of the do
mestic market and the internal trade
our instinct foG commerce across the
seas has been far from killed. Our
attention to internal trade has made
us, alike per capita and in gross. the
richest among all the nations. For
eign trade is a side issue; a good
thing to have, but, in comparison, a
minor consideration. Foreign trade"
said Andrew Carnegie lis brag-
gart; domestic trade is the true
king"

School Board Probably viii
Approve 1t at a Meeting
Wednesday Night.
WORK IN NATURE STUDY.
SUPT. MOTT THINKS FAvORABLY
OF 1T BUT 1T is NECESSARY TO
KEEP THE SCHOOL WORK BAL
ANCED.

There will very likely be a meeting
of the city school board Wednesday
night The assignment of teachers
and other points in connection with
| the opening of the schools will be
passed on at that time. Supt Mott
has already made up his roll of tea
chers but will not announce it until
| it has been passed on by the school
| board.
Supt Mott is undecided in regard
to securing Prof. James Speed to give
his course of nature study In the
schools this winter. He thinks most
favorably of Prof. Speed and nature
study work which is now being done
in the local schools is modelled after
Prof. Speeds suggestions made at
the first and second chautauquas.
Il don't want to get too much ma
ture study in the schools, said Supt.
Mott, "and in doing so crowd out the
grammer, spelling and arithmetic We
have to keep the work balanced. Some
patrons of the schools do not appre-
ciate how much broader the education
of youth now is than it was twenty
five years ago. The remark is often
heard that there were better spoilers
and children were better hands at fig
ures, years ago than they are row.
Now large part of this is all wrong.
True. years ago about three hours
each day were given to spelling and
ciphering but little or no attention
was given to writing compositions and
letters. The result was that in the
olden days there were developed some
star spoilers, who knew Webster's
book by heart, and that was about
all they did know.
Experiments have been conducted
to ascertain whether the students to-
day are better spoilers, grammarians
and mathematicians than years ago
and it was found that the present day
students stand fully so per cent high
er than the students of a generation
back. These tests were made in
Spring gfield Mass, and what would
hold good there would be equally true
in Indiana"
Supt. Mott will take up Prof. Speeds
work with the school board and should
it be found advisable to bring him
here, he will probably be secured for
two weeks.

NEW DIRECTORY PUT

Home Telephone Company
Gets Ready for Change.
CUTOVER is UNCERTAIN.

The Richmond Home Telephone
company now has the new directory
which will be used when the automa-
tic system is installed, in the hands
of the Nicholson Printing company.
The book will contain 2300 subscrib-
ers. Under the new system most of
the phone numbers will be changed.
There will be no number under 1000.
To many of the present phone num-
bers / 900 will be added to get the
new number.
Supt. Bailey of the telephone COM
pany said that he has grown so dis
gusted with predicting when the new
system would be in operation that he
intended to quit talking about it, but
VOLUNTEERED the information that the
cut over probably would be made
some time this month.
The directories will be issued just
few days before the new system is
put into operation.

Odessa, Sept. 3.-A reign of terror
prevails here today. Women and chill
dren were shot down while kneeling in
prayer over the graves OF friends and
relatives Hebrew girls were dragged
from their homes as prey of the czar' $
raiders. This frightful record it IS
believed is only the beginning Of at
tacks of the Black Hand" The po-
lice are making no effort to interfere
and the Cossacks are preparing to take
a hand against the Jews. Scores Were
killed in the streets and the rioters
ran yelling into Hebrew cemeteries
with the cry Of slay and spare not.
Women, children, and old men were
slain mercilessly. Jews fled in panic
to the country Scenes in the Jewish
quarter were terrible
The rioters allege the Jews are re-
sponsible for the explosion of bomb
which caused the deaths of military
officer and four policemen few days
ago. 1t is said this is only pretext
to begin the slaughter, which is grow
Ing worse since that time. Fire adds
to the horror and the ghotto is threat
