SiIent'on the Tariff,

The silence upon the tariff question
by President Roosevelt is evidence that
he is not in line with the tariff re-
vision idea. President Roosevelt is Il
man who does not hesitate to mention
every needed reform and every needed
change in laws. He is not a man to
await the action of others, but is al
ways leader. If he was satisfied that
the tariff needed revision he would
have said so in his message. On the
contrary he is silent, which means that
existing conditions do not demand a
general change
This, of course, does not meet with
the approval of one element of the Re
publican party in this State, but it does
vindicate the great mass of Republicans
in Iowa in their contention that so long
as we are prosperous it is right and
proper to ''let well enough alone" 50

Not a Question of Dollars.

If the cost of maintaining ourselves
in the Philippine islands had entered
into the question of retaining those ISL
ands it is probable that we never should
have established government there.
1t has never been seriously cOntended
that the Philippines would be a good
investment from the standard of dol
lars and cents.
1t is hardly worth while. therefore,
for Congressman Clark to present fig
ures showing that the archipelago is
costing us about S11O0OO,0O0 per year
amount the fact would not affect tine
real question, whether we desire to
maintain the imperial policy upon
which we entered as the result of the
war with Spain.
1t is probable that = great many peo
pie who at first favored the acquisition
of the Philippines would now be will
ing to let go of them if the relinquish-
ment could be accomplished without in
jury to national pride. There are 9th
ers who insist that we need the islands
to maintain our influence in the Pa
cific. But none of these and none of
the avowed anti-imperialists, so far as
we know, is influenced by the cost of
governing the archipelago.
It is a question of national amour
propre, so to speak. Probably if it We're
left to a popular vote the decision
would be to hold the islands not be-
cause we need them, but because there
is sentiment against hauling down the
flag once it has gone up
The question of cost has nothing to
do with it at all.

Middle Class Marriage.

Among that class which in all mod
ern and prosperous countries is the
most numerous-the great middle class
marriage undoubtedly finds its high
est development. 1t is here that the
tender and beautiful relation which it
expresses reaches its most perfect
growth; it is here that the vicissitudes
of life offer it a not too severe test of
purity, from which it never fails to
emerge victorious; it is here, if any
where, that marriage becomes not the
mere union of one party to another.

POIICd Comment.
Stop subsidizing Expositions.

Perhaps it is we'll enough for Con-
gress to appropriate 100000 in aid of
the Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition to
be held at Seattle in 1909, because the
projectors of that enterprise have no
doubt been counting upon government
aid such as has been granted TO a dozen
similar projects.
But if the Seattle show is to be sub
sidized Congress ought to let it be
known, once for all, that no more ex.
position grants will be made. The ma
tional government cannot , on forever
booming local enterprises, for that is
what these expositions have become.
At the present rate, as Senator Lodge
observed the other day, we shall even
tually have a general exposition bill to
distribute eXpositions over the country
just as we now have a river and harbor
bill and a public building bill. Notice
should be served now that there will
be no more federal donations of this
kind.
This is all the more necessary be-
cause the Alaska Yukon- Pacific eXposi-
ton is by no means the only one pro-
posed. New York has one in contem-
plation. San Francisco is going to COM
memorate the discovery of the Pacific
ocean by Balboa; Tampa, Fla, will
have one on general principles.
Los Angeles, Cal, announces an eX-
position to celebrate the opening of the
Panama canal, but even patriotic enthu-
siasm is forced to admit that the date
of such show will be rather indefinite.
The projectors of the Los Angeles eX-
position will be around bright and early
for national aid, however. and in the
meantime other cities will decide to Gel
citrate historic events by local specta-
cleS.
1t may be said that Philadelphia, Chi
cago and st. Louis have had some of

ought to be as generously treated If
that is admitted, however, the door is

As to the tailor-mades for spring and
summer, a season of light colors is
imminent Materials all along the line
of worsteds, cheviots, serges and their
kind proclaim it. Lovely effects are
found in the serges and cheviOts of
white ground traversed with stripes of
many widths from hair lines up. Stripes
are very conspicuous in all showings
of dress goods, although it cannot be
said that checks and blocks seem to
have lost any ground. The white
grounds are striped or cross-checked
with soft browns, steel, black, etc, and
in some of the pieces touches of color
are introduced.
Black frocks are to be much in evil
dence this season and a number of
beautiful models are decorated princi-
pally with laces, usually two or three
kinds, but a little good embroidery in
skillfully harmonized colors gives a
French air to a fine black gown that is
most desirable. Black linens and cot
tons are prettiest in soft fabrics and
the embroidered swisses are exquisite.
One unusually effective pattern has a
black ground, striped with closely set
,hairlines of white, and is sprinkled with
tiny sprays of lilacs. 1t is charming for
a second mourning costume, or makes
up effectively with bits of blue satin.
At last the right material has been
generally adopted for the foundation of
the elaborate pailletted frock. Hereto
fore a wealth of labor has been ex-
pended in decorating tulle with all man.

Midd1e-Aged woman in society.


An entertaining old lady whose
friendship | enjoyed used to say, with
some inpatience: Because the Lord
saw fit to remove Banbury is no rea
son why | should be invited to moth
ing but women's lunches Not but that
she mourned the late Banbury most
sincerely, but her active mind chafed
at a narrowness of environment
which accentuated her loneliness. In
fact, it is a hardship to be condemned
to One-sided social life, and it is a
misfortune which happens to many
middle-aged women and need scarcely
ever happen to a man of any age; for
ordinarily a man can have as much
feminine society as he chooses, but
what will the neighbors say about an
elderly woman who announces that in
order to preserve whole and healthy
view of life she must seek the society
of men?
1t will hardly be disputed that the
exclusively feminine is worse than the
exclusively masculine point of view.
True, one sometimes hears of the petty
failing of certain classes of men
heroes at sea, for instance, who never
thelesS, owing to that isolated life,
become fussy and domineering when
they regain the shelter of the domestic
fireside; and the tales of Bret Harte
and his followers have familiariZed us
with the rude heroes of the mining
camp and the plains. But does the
naval officer, welded to law, or the
miner, divorced from it, show as great
a departure from the normal human
type as the woman who is shut up with
other women?
Of course, there are as many points
of view as there are men and women :;
one should always remember that
underneath all there is the human
point of view, and that people resem-
Bile each other more than they differ;
yet. when all allowances have been
made, some well-recogniZed dissimilari-
ties do seem to be fundamental. Ev-
erybody knows, for instance, that
woman has not usually much sense of
proportion: but as to that, does every
body realize how destructive to a sense
of proportion of purely domestic life
is-tnat life which, for so long, consti-
tuted a womans all of living? Perhaps
Eve may not have been lacking in it
before she set up housekeeping and ac-
cumulated things. Possibly at that
time her sense of humor was not sub
ject to lapses. 1t is now; and it is
most apt to lapse when she turns her
attention on herself. For the average
woman is inclined to take herself quite
seriously.-Scribner Magazine.

Four Great Women.

There are four women who ought to
be brought to public notice while they
are still in active life. One is the moth
e. of the Dr. Osler, who, already a Gel
ebrated physician, became famous by
reason of being credited with the state
ment that man does not grow in power
after 40, and that his usefulness ceases
at 60.
Mrs. Osler has just celebrated her
one hundredth birthday. She has reared
four very distinguished sons and one
daughter, has twenty six grandchildren
and one great-grandchild, and is still
leading a useful and comparatively ac-
tive life Another is Mrs. Mary E.
Farrell, who has just ended her one
hundred and third year.
She has reared eleven children, has
fifteen grandchildren and twelve great
grandchildren. She has never been i'll
a day in her life, is still daily worker
about the house, active in body and
witty in mind. A third is Mrs. Susan
Askey, who on her one hundred and
first birthday went to church in an
automobile, made an address to the
audience, and held a reception in the
evening. She also has borne eleven
children.
The fourth is Mrs Franklin COttle,
who at % years of age went through
thrilling experiences at the late San
Francisco disaster. arrived fresh and
strong in New York a week or two
later and now, as erect as at 20 and
as alert as at 60, she is about to start
on a 20O-mile automobile ride from
New York to Boston.-The Delineator.

No RaIiaf

rows of those Massachusetts manufac-
turers who long for free trade in crude
materials while retaining protection for
their finished products, John Sharp
Williams, leader of the free trade mi
nority in the House of Representatives.,
not long ago introduced a bill abolish
ing the duty on bituminous coal from
Canada. The House committee on ways
and means has voted to indefinitely
postpone consideration Of that bill.
Wait till the Democrats obtain control

which they won't want.

The Linen supply.

The young housewife with little
money to expend may begin with a
small supply.
Six or eight pairs OF sheets are es-
Sential.
One bolster and two pillow slips
should be allowed to each pair of
sheets.
Several white "honeycomb'' spreads
and a white marseilles counterpane are
needed.
At least two dozen face towels, a
dozen fine cup towels, a dozen dish
towels and four roller towels are es-
sential.
Four white tablec!oths, one of finer
quality for Occasions" will do for a
beginning.
A dozen hemmed cheesecloth busters
also belong in the outfit.
