When some of the state newspaper
boys touch up Ohio politics and try to
turn a local point on Foraker's pri-
mary or machine methods, it natur-
ally brings smile tolold Ohioans.
Senator Foaker, at home, was always
against the machine. The machine
was handed down from Sherman to
Mckinley, to Hanna, and in that line
of statesmen. They were in reality
against Foraker, but he is fighter,
and often forced them to accept him
for fear of his frey appeal to the peo-
pie. When Foraker talks of direct
appeal to Ohio voters through the pri-
maries, he is perfectly at home and
the other fellows will sit up and take
notice. If Secretary Taft gets Joseph
Benson's scalp, he win have to cut
out few of his junketing trips, and
beat up the brush for buckeyes.

There is great deal of ''hot-air"
in politics. but it is not often hot e.
nough to cut any ice. For instance:
How many quarter century residents
of South Dakota would hang Coe l..
Crawford if he had got 100 acres of
land some years ago without exact
and absolute compliance with every
land office rule? But he didn't even
try to prove up the land, because at
that time perhaps he was afraid the
land Office might slip another quart
err into the patent! If that Land
fraud case is political move. as
charged, it is about as brilliant one
as some others that have happened"

Roosevelt has demonstrated one
more reason why the Presidency is a
desirable position. If you ever get
there. you can call the other fellow
"a liar" and he has no show to get
back at you, because the Presidency
is so high above any other citizen that
retaliation looks like feeble spite.
The cartoonists have picked out four
prominent men whom the President
has thus characterized, and call them

United States Consul Reports.

Consul c. p. II. Mason, of Grenoblc furnishes
review OF the business Of that French district
for 1906. The following paragraphs are taken
from the consuls report:
THE total value OF merchandise exported to

of the entire value of kid gloves imported from
France during that year

IS tho centre, has been marked by unwonted

Fashion then decreed a shorter sleeve to the

first the prevailing color hut later the nrafar

the tan shade. Gloves in these coors from,
moderate TO extreme lengths, have gone forward
as never before TO the United States This de-
mand has put an unwonted strain upon the
SKIN markets, and not only France, but all other
klo producing countries, have been ransaclled

cause the longer gloves call for skins OF double
length, or Two skins put together, in place of
one skin. or ordinary length. In consequence
the prices of kid and lamb skins have tended
steadily upward. until there has been almost a
panic In the skin market
This naturally has accrued to the ,raa+ar
profit of the skin merchants. skin gatherers and
growers. The larger manufacturers who were
fortunate enough 10 have full stocks on hand

smaller manufacturers who have bean forced
to bay thofr skins at current rates to meet nr,-
