COMPLAINT IS NOT NEW.
Other Ages Have Said "There Is No
Time for Leisure"

Leisure" woman declared the
other day, SIS neither a fact nor pos
sibility-it is scarcely even an ideal.
1t is word that in the dictionary
should be marked obsolete"
Whether or not the majority of peo-
pie would agree with her in consider
ing leisure no longer an ideal, it can
not be denied that leisure is a rare
possession in the first decade of the
twentieth century. The common the
DRY seems to be that we have bartered
1t for telephones and automobiles, for
speed and society and business.
Fifty years ago, we say, or a hun
dred, or hundred and fifty, life was
much simpler and less hurried. Yet,
as matter of fact, a hundred years
ago exactly the same complaint was
made. 1t was in 1897 that the famous
Mrs. Grant, of Laggan, wrote of that
Unsuitable love of change-that rest
lessness, which is, | think, great
and growing evil of the age" and COM
planned that the hours of her young
friends were so ''engrossed and di
vided' that there was no time for
reading and conversation. Doubtless,
could we but look back, we should
find the same complaint made in the
eighth century as in the eighteenth.
So far from leisure being less pos.
sible now than in past years, the aver
age woman, as recent economic
writer has pointed out, never before
had so good an opportunity to enjoy
it. Gas and electricity, ready-made
clothing. prepared foods and number
less household inventions have re-
duced her work to a fraction of that
done by her grandmother. Instead of
candle and soap-making, spinning and
weaving, sailing down the years meats
and making her husbands shirts by
hand, she spends hours each week in
shopping, amusements, study, fancy
work or society, according as inclina.
tion and opportunity dictate.
Yet--sne mas no leisure After all,
is it not frequently because she does
not desire leisure so much as she
wishes for some other things? The
simple life" is an achievement, not
a chance gift, and leisure, to quote
another woman's definition, is merely
the art of having time. Youth Com.

Is the Horse Doomed?

One has only to compare the streets
of London, where horses are far more
used than here, with those of New
York to realize how much we have
gained by our increasing use of me-
chanical motors for our trucks and
street cars. The Punishment of horses
from the city, for any use except park
and suburban driving, would make the
town as much more comfortable than
it is now as the present New York is
more comfortable to get about in than
London. But Mr.. Edison's promises
for storage batteries for automobiles
have not yet materialized. 1t might
be prudent not to sell your truck horse
until your neighbor has used one Of
the new motors and you can see how
1t works.

Secretary Taft's Visits Abroad.

Why should not Secretary Taft visit
Paris and London en- route home:
asks the Washington Star. AS we
stated the other day, the desire in
those two capitals to pay respect to
the Ohio statesman is a compliment
not only to him but to the American
people. So far as congress is con.
cerned he is not pressed for time.
Presumably his annual report is in
shape, and the Philippine tariff bill,
in which he is much interested, will
not come up for action for some little
while. Let the secretary accept all
the invitations issued We as a ua-
ton are on good terms with all the
powers, and all that wish to do us
honor through greetings to one of our
most respected public servants should
be allowed the opportunity.

Should Study the Tariff.

The tariff will or should be a lead
ing issue in the campaign next year,
and Democrats who undertake to en-.
tighten the people should take the
pains and trouble to study the tariff
schedules and the history of the tariff
laws. A knowledge of the subject in
wolves some study, and it does not
give much opportunity for oratory of
the soaring sort. Perhaps this Is why
it is so unattractive to those cam
paign orators who depend on the cam
paign book for their information, and
who if they should meet a well posted
man in debate would be at his mercy.
Democrats who expect to be among
the spell binders next year should be-
gin a study of the tariff question

JOKE ON PROFESSOR
UNWITTING VICTIM OF HIS OWN
ADVICE.
Pupil Faithfully Followed instructions
and the Result Was Broken Rest
for the Unfortunate Music
Teacher.

The late Prof julius Eichberg,
whose violin school was at one time
one OF the most flourishing institu-
lions of Boston, enjoyed telling the
following joke which was innocently
played on him by pupil:
Just before the vacation season he
once inquired Of boy how much he
intended to practice on his violin DUR
Ing the summer.
"Oh, not very much" replied the
youngster.
mot very much! How is that?"
Because l want to play and enjoy
myself. There are many other boys

NO, sir" was the prompt reply.

1T is too bad, for you will forget
everything you have learned"
Eichberg stopped minute to think
and then said:
What time do you rise mornings
when on your vacation?"
Very early, sir-between five and
SIX"
We'll, that's the best time. Put in
half an hours practice every morning
before you go down to breakfast"
The boy promised faithfully to dc
so, and teacher and pupil parted on
the best of terms.
A few weeks later, Eichberg was
peacefully slumbering in one of the
cool rooms of fashionable summer
hotel, which he and his family reached
the night before, when he was m6st
inopportunely awakened by the furi'
Gus screeching of violin just over

as he looked at his watch, and was

then suddenly ceased.
BY that time, however, he had
dressed himself, and having come
downstairs, was about to enter the
dining room for breakfast together
with the usual early risers, when he
was joyously greeted by a boy with
familiar face, who said proudly:

The Revolt of Betsy.

Twoscore years ago there lived in
a Pennsylvania town an Minated cou.
pie, both as to size and compatibility.
The wife was much the larger and
stronger, and, in the words of their
narrator, 1.-The husband, though a small
man, was nagger and a pesterer.
He always provoked the quarrel, and
when he went too far his irate spouse
would revolt. She would retaliate with
such splendid vigor that the husband

evidence he would invariably thus ex-
plain matters: IL struck Betsy jn all

FOR CULTIVATE" FREE TRADE
Mr. Bryan on Record in Opposition t.
Protection.

Mr.. Bryan must be complimented or
his candor rather than his political
judgment in respect of one remarkable
declaration of his in regard to the
tariff. To all intents and purposes
he avowed himself in principle a free
trader To quote his exact words
Il have outliyed every argument that
has ever been made in favor of pro
lection"
Then, obviously, in Mr.. Bryan's opin
ion, protection after all these years OF
trial has completely discredited it.

leg loft to stand on.
That certainly is curious doctrine
at this time when even England
moved mainly by the spectacle of the
unexampled advance and prosperity OF
the United States under protection
has shown a strong disposition to
break away from free trade and set UP
an interbritish protective system on
the lines Of Mr.. Chamberlain pro-
posed imperial Zoliverein.
Mr.. Bryan,s confession of faith as
in principle free trader will find
little more favor in the south than
did his wildly undemocratic govern.

ing manufactures and boundless in.
dustrial promise, protectionist senti-
ment has taken strong root 1t is fair
to Mr.. Bryan to say that he apparently
regards free trade as, like government
ownership, an ideal of ultimate" at.
tainment; with tariff revision as the
practical and immediate objective.
Unfortunately for Mr.. Bryan, the
Republican party will not be so oblig.
ing as to furnish him with a tariff re
vision issue. The Republican party
means to revise the tariff, and will
so declare itself unequivocally in the
national platform. But it will revise
the tariff with due and scrupulous re
gard to the conservation of the princi.
pie of protection; whereas Mr.. Bryan
judging from the assertion quoted
above, would have it revised with re
gard to paving the way for free trade
On that point Mr.. Bryan will again
find himself at odds with very large
section of his multiform and miscel
laneous party.-Milwaukee Sentinel

A Home Loving Bird.

Direct evidence of the return of the
same individual bird of a migrating
species to particular spot season
after season is not easily obtainable,
but N. G. Beers believes that he has
such evidence concerning a chipping
sparrow at Lakewood, N. j., says the
Youths Companion. A few years ago
he heard little bird concealed in the
top of a maple uttering peculiar
song which he could not recognize.
The next season he heard the same
peculiar song in tree but few
yards from the original point. This
time he identified the bird, which
seemed to have learned a song of it's
own. The third year he did not visit
Lakewood at the proper season to
meet his little friend, but the fourth
year he heard and saw it again near
the same spot. 1t appeared always to
make it's summer home in the trees
on an area not more than two acres in
extent.

NO JOY FOR THE DEMOCRATS.
Hard for Them to Find Crumb of Com
fort In Recent Elections.

One fact with regard to the recent
elections has not been sufficiently re-
marked, the fact that the Democratic
party has nothing on which to con-
graduate itself in the results, moth
ing on which to base hope for next
years presidential contest.
Therefore Roger Sullivan, shrewd
leader of the Illinois democracy, and
men allied with him, have asked Mr..
Bryan to step aside and make room
for another candidate who may seem
more likely to unite the party next
year and arouse enthusiasm among
voters. Mr.. Sullivan and his friends
think the present Bryan leadership
has not proved successful and believe
that Democratic hope lies in finding
a new leader. The facts of the late
election are somewhat in favor of
their argument.
Massachusetts, went Republican by
10000, largely, perhaps, because Dem
ocrats were engaged in a bitter fac
tional fight among themselves. New
ertheless, the Democrats lost the state
and apparently have no chance to re-
organize effectively for next years
battle. Kentucky went Republican,
an unusual circumstance, but signif-
cant OF the state Of feeling in the
south. New Jersey went Republican,
by larger majority than there was
in 1898, when Voorhees, was elected
governor by $500, though Mckinley
had a plurality of $1,000. Nebraska,
where Bryan lives, gave increased
Republican majorities. The alliance
between the Republicans and Hearst
in New York city ended in defeat, but
the Republicans carried Brooklyn and
more than held their own in the state

at later date. Among these their
