Silence and Science.

Before 1t was determined scientific ally that smoke is waste, smoke was fixed as the final indication and proof of prosperity. Today smokeless chimney means nothing less than thrift and good management. Similar, ly we now hear that noise is proof of urban life, progress and activity. We may answer that noise is loss as surely as smoke is waste. Decreased comfort Is loss and noise decreases comfort. Disturbed minds are loss through q re- duction of mental force. But these and similar consequences are indirect loss. There is direct loss also. A rat tling car means worn bearings and q short lived vehicle. Otherwise rail- roads would not spend so much on their roadbeds, and they would run trains at higher speed.-Detroit Free Press

Eiohtina "Super."

The following little gem was one of the experiences of Mir. Benson. the Shakespearean actor:
 Mir. Benson made professional visit to Dublin, and the relearsals included the due training of a body of stage assistants to represent the hurried ly retracting supporters of Richard "Crookback," when that monarch sue cumbed to the onslaught of Richmond on the field of Bosworth. On the night of the first performance of the tragedy the army that was to fly stubbornly refused to leave the field or to ac- knowledge being vanquished, but turn ing upon the forces of Richmond gave them severe drubbing. Nothing could be found to tame them to proper submission till one of the frank and file" said:

MINORITY LEADER WILLIAMS
PROGRAM

IL Is encouraging to note that Mr..
John Sharpe Williams has prepared.
and is carrying out. program which
If consistently adhered to, will result
In the tariff question being constantly
pressed upon the attention of the
country. AS has been pointed out in
these columns neither the leader of
the minority I'm the House nor any
body else for that matter, hopes for
any tariff Legislation during the pres
cnt session of Congress. lait the coun-
try has been thoroughly awakened to
the Injustice and iniquities lodged In
the Dingley schedules, and 1t is most
important that the question which has
every prospect of being the overshad-
owing issue during the coming presl-
dental campaign. should be kept
sauarcly before the public
Mr.. Williams has introduced bills
for "a minimum tariff In the United
States to place on the free list steel
beams. plates, angle irons. rivets.
shaftings. propelers, castings and
other materials imported for the con-
struction of American ships; to re-
lieve from taxation coal imported
from foreign countries: TO reduce tax
alton on American citizens who uso
hides. leather boots. shoes. saddles and
harness; to secure free trade for the
Philippines; to reduce the duties on
watches imported from foreign coun-
tries; to repeal import duties on an
titoxin and diphtherln serum: to re-
duce duties on impoi ted works of art
TO reduce duties upon linotype and
composing machines. and place wood
pulp and white paper on the free list.
The synopsis of the bills introduced
by Mr.. Williams will show that II will
give him and the other Democratic
debaters In Congress an excellent OPP
to tTing before the people
this all important question. The
Speaker OF the House Is most pro-
nounced stand patter" and will
doubtless make every effort to keep
the bills from getting out of the COM
mittee room, but he Is possessed of
no power that will prevent an open
discussion on the floor. This is what
the people want. While the position
of the Republican party on this ques-
ton has been set forth by the Pres
ldent and others, 1t will be well to
have the party. OF protection placed
on record In Congress. The shafts
that viii be hurled at Speaker Can

hides. but they will be buried deem III
