Ponies Rare Faithfulness

nK ELIOT has a large herd of Shetland ponies
- pastured IN Bedford, Massachusetts. These
tiny horses by nature affectionate and at times
exhibit almost human intelligence. Not long ago
a pack of dogs found their way into the isolated
pasture one night and hunted the little pets until
morning. Eight of them were found dead in differ
ent parts of the big field But the remarkable fact
was that they were always found in pairs Every
pony had his Chum and when ii came to the grim
climax they fought the blood lustfu dogs TO the
death side by side Had they not done this of
each PAIR might have made its escape for the dogs
always combined their forces upon single pony.

Why Not Automatic Reciprocity
The Boston TRANSCRIPT saws;

Wars of tariff retaliation never pay.
They are suryivals of the commercially
dark ages and enlightened statesmen seek
to avoid them. At present, in the opinion
Of a large element OF our responsible pub
lie men and of business men who have
studied the commercial outlook in a broad
way, the juncture is one that offers many
arguments for closing quickly with any
proposal granting us concessions In for
eign markets that is at all reasonable in
Its provisions. France has virtually put
the extreme maximum in operation
against our trade, and the state depart
nent admits that 1t has nothing to offer
to secure more favorable treatment. We
are opposed by high tariff barriers that
may be made higher in Italy, Austria and
Switzerland. Germany has suspended for
awhile the operation of its tariff against
us as an act of comfy. A formal Euro
pean tariff union of Europe hostile to the
United States is an impossibility, but the
simultaneous action of several European
nations is beginning to have much the
same effect.
Could the next session Of congress do
a wiser thing than provide for auto
matte reciprocity by leaving our present
tariff the maximum and granting a reduce
ton Of say. 20 per cent to nations that
extended us concessions In their markets
Such a decision would be tariff revision,
protection of our export trade and main-
tenance or expansion of our foreign mar
kets.

rial:
The Post has never believed that any
irrepealable unwritten law bars presi-
dent from third term. 1t was wise for
the builders of our governmental struc-
ture to leave the people free to elect a
president as many times as they should
see fit to do So And the fact that thus
far the country has had no third term
president, although somewhat significant,
does not begin to prove that no president
could or will be accorded that distinction
1t Is natural that ambitious statesmen
should aspire to the highest honor that is
open to citizen. Election to a third
term would be a higher honor than has
been attained by any American, and there
need be no apprehension that 1t will be
obtained by unworthy means. That Pres
ident Roosevelt, who does not desire and
declares he will not accept another term
may be drafted in is possible. His cans
didacy would afford test of the alleged
insuperable prejudice against the third
term. The belief that he would be tri-
umphant1y elected is widely prevalent;
but, whatever might be the result 1t
would not put UP bar against third
term or Danish the probability that such
an honor is in store for the right man at
the right time.
