The City of Naples was off Long
Point about 3 o'clock Friday morning.
There was a stiff gale blowing and
the sea was running high Horn
busle and Flanagan were stoking and
Fittinger was in charge of the en-
gines. A 51a inch steam pipe between
the boilers and engine burst, sending
cloud of scalding steam and water
down into the boiler room. Deprived
of her power. the Naples swung into
the trough of the sea and began to
roll heavily. The coal in the bunkers
where Hornbusle and Flanagan had
fled to escape the binding steam, sud

What Revision Means.

Business interests need not be
alarmed The Republican national
convention to meet next June will
declare unequivocally for a protec-
tive tariff and against throwing the
American market open to foreign
ers."
Thus speaks the Des Moines Capt.
tai. That assurance will not, how
ever, prevent a serious disturbance
of business when the hauling over
Of the tariff schedules begins. The
charge is made that some of the
schedules are too high. No particu-
lars are given. So the minute the on
slaught begins all protected interests
will be in nervous state; retrench-
ment will be in order, factories will
slow down, workmen will be dis
charged and business of all classes
will show an unhealthy tone during
the uncertainty of the tariff discus
sion. And then, after it is all over
and another compromise bill is adopt
ed, the country will again struggle
back to its present condition of pros
perity. Meanwhile the people will
have experienced a slump that will
cause them to wonder if, after all, the
present schedules were not all right
and that it would have been better
to stand pat!-Burlington Hawk Eye.

A Resnonsihie Citizen.

The story was told In the Youths
Companion some time ago Of men,
Der of school city in Chicago who
defeated his teacher in debate on the
question of war, which, the boy main
tanned, is forbidden by the ten COM
mandments and is always wrong. Now
comes from Philadelphia the story OF
girl who was also admitted to citi-
Zenship in such an organization, and
who upset promptly all the expecta-
tions OF the schoolmistress. Every
teacher who had ever struggled over
her admitted that Marie Parola was
torment and plague. There were 500
other girls in the same building with
her. but Marie held all records as
truant, slattern and mischief-maker.
This is the way she appeared to her
teachers, but she must have had good
qualities which were apparent to her
fellow pupils, although not to the
teachers. With the girls of her class
Marie was almost universally fa-
vorite. After time school city"
was organized among the pupils, and
10 the disgust of the teacher Marie
was elected almost unanimously as
delegate to the common council from
her room. What shall do?" her
teacher asked of the other school
ma'ams." Wait and see," they coun-
seled. Perhaps she will be afraid to
come any more" But the next morn
ing Marie was on hand bright and
early, attired as for ball When the
teacher arrived Marie greeted her gra-
ciously. Soon there entered pupil
as tousled and dirty as Marie had
usually been. The new councilman
led her aside and laid down the law
to her. I'VE are citizens now" she
said. You don't want to do this way
any more" Another girl who came
late was also taken in hand and dis
ciplined by the councilman" Two
years later the teacher who had been
so angry when Marie was elected to
the council admitted that there had
never been in the school another in
fluence so sweet, so great and so clean
as Maries. 1t is often so in life out
side the schoolroom. Responsibility

A Serious Matter

The tariff cannot be amended with
out diligent and thorough inquiry, and
this inquiry means a great deal of
time and brings about sharp conflict
of the industries affected. Modern
business is SO complex and tariff
schedules are so involved and far.
reaching that to tinker with the Gus,
toms schedules is to set almost every
kind of business in eager motion, eth.

else to defeat proposals that seem

sequence, but business men know it

NOT WITHOUT VALUE
EVEN THE STAND-PATTER MAY
HAVE HIS USES.
The Country Seems to Be Coming
Around to His Belief That for
Some Time to Come II Would Be
Prudent to Let the Tariff Entirely
Alone.

For the past five years the voice Oh
the so-called "stand-patter" has been
steadily against any disturbance of
the tariff. Recent events and exist
ing conditions in the political field
would seem to indicate that the man
who said Let the tariff alone" was
the man who was right all the time.
Does anybody at this moment re-
gret that the tariff has been let alone
for the past five years?
Does anybody dispute that the coun-
try is in every way richer and better
off because of five straight years OF
stand-pat policy?
In 1906 stand-pat was the declared
policy of the congressional campaign.
1t was the policy alike of the congress
sional committee and of the admins
tration.
When in May of this year conven-
tion representing not more than five
per cent. of the manufacturers of the
United States adopted a resolution
calling for tariff revision at the ear
liest practical moment, and in the
meantime wide-open reciprocity ar
rangements, the stand-patter again
said: Let the tariff alone"
Three months after the manufac
turers in convention declared for i'm
mediate tariff disturbance they
changed their tune, and are now say
ing that the tariff should not be
touched for two years to come.
They, too, are nearer to the stand
pat position than they were last May;
and again it is not the stand-pattel
who has changed his position.
All the time, for five straight years
the stand-patter has said that tariff
disturbance meant harm to business
harm to labor and wage earning
harm to the Republican party. There
FORE" said the stand-patter, let tho
tariff alone
To-day the tariff rippers of three
months ago, of a year ago. of five
years ago, are saying precisely the
same thing. They are saying that il
would be suicidal for the Republican
party to disturb the tariff at the
tulcoHoiu VI d piCSlueHtldl IdiilpdlSu
Let the tariff alone" (for two years.
is what they are now saying.
They are all nearer the stand-pat
position than ever before; but it is
not the stand-patter who has changed
his position.
The stand-patter has held the fort
against all assailants for fully five
years. He holds it yet. The longer
he can hold it, the better for the
country.
In holding the fort for five years
the stand-patter has been worth many
billions of dollars to the country as
a whole. He will be worth many bill
lions more to the country if the coun
try will keep on listening to his ad
vice: Let the tariff alone"

Du1uth's Cross Eyed Marvel

DARLOUS feats of skill and endurance these:
L but think of a pitcher SO abnormally
clever that he could persuade a veteran like
Ed Dillon to strike at ball which never even
started for the plate. Dillon says he was
hitting at 400 clip that season in the Cana
dian Northwest, with every prospect of break
ing into the big league until he met his
Waterloo at Duluth. Dillon observed some
thing uncanny about the local twirer; but
he too much occupied in killing the ball
to study him closely. To all appearances the
pitcher was watching runner first base
when Dillon went to bat, and he followed the
gaze Slap! the ball suddenly split the plate
before Dillon could raise his club. Again the
Duluth wonder turned his look far away, with
the same result. Dillon began to think he was
bewitched, and the fans yelled with a strange
ecstasy that smacked of more than ordinary
triumph. A third time the pitcher prepared
to heave the sphere and now fixed Dillon with
a banal stare. "Oh, | got you, Rube'"
breathed the slugger, and drawing back his
bat swung viciously "Whang" the ball
landed in the first baseman's mit-had not
been delivered at all. While Duluth rolled
over the grand stand floor in painful delight,
Dillon walked out to the box, where he dis
covered that the pitcher was SO cross eyed
that if he cried tears would run down the
back of his neck.

sweat rolling into his eyes, Bernhard could not
distinguish egg from ball, until the former
struck him fairly in the mouth. The two
