PORTLAND. Me, Avg. 3o.-At the
meeting of the International Law As
ISOLATION. J. II. Balfour Browne, of
London, made an address on .Interna-
tionaI Law and International Trade,
in which he took occasion to covertly
reprove the United States for its atti-

eve must be prepared to give pref
erences Il we are to receive preference,
we must be prepare 20 withhold the
free entry into cur markets from those
who shut the door Of their markets
in our faces.
That the achievement Of great In
terEational trade by means of such a
policy is possible, 1 believe, and al
though I am by no means convinced
that free trade Is absolutely the best
for every nation under all circum-
stances I am convinced that freer trade
than the nations now enjoy would be
better fo= the great nations who are,

on the tariff war with one another, and

THE GRADUATE.

A few short days ago he stood
And laughed to sCOTn life's stormy
sea,
With eyes unshadowed this fair youth
Gazed, uEafraid. at destiny:
The heights looked near, the slopes not
steep,
No thorny bush fame's flowers hid;
But now-ah, pity him, poor chap
The world looks larger than it did.
But yesterday he sought to charge
And capture some redoubt Of wrongs
His pulses leaped. his feet kept step.
To youths triumphal martial song;
But now, since eXultatiOn's DER,
And TO no glorious war he's bid.
Disturbing thoughts are creeping in
The world looks larger than it did
o radiant Youth full soon you learn
How steep ind full of toll the way.
How few the upward steps we've made

Lewis, of Buffalo, in his address so
suggestively entitled Prevention ot
Unnecessary Blindness a Public
Duty" DR.. Lewis said that perhaps
the commonest cause of blindness
and of defective eyesight was oph-
thalmia dating from the victims
birth, and such trouble, it appears,
sis preventRble and durable in prac-
tically every case receiving proper
caro-"
This trouble is said to occur at
one out of every 200 births, and it
can be stopped instantly by the use
of weak solution of silver nitrate.
Every well-educated doctor knows
this, and if ne fails to make proper
use of his knowledge he should be
debarred from practice.
But, fortunately, such cases are
not common. The greatest danger
lies in the custom that disregards
the need of having a capable doctor
in attendance when the child is
born. 1t is to do away with this
cruel custom that certain classes
need to be educated. Too many
make light of this matter. If it
were given due consideration, the
worlds stock of misery would be
considerably smaller than it is.

A BASEBALL BARD.

Since Casey at the Bat baseball

deficiency with a really remarkable Sc

Fred Richardson. One of them runs as
follows;

Touched with a heecy huff or two
To temper summers ardent smile
And hint Of rain-checks after while.
A level stretch of restful green
Crowned by the symbol of the scene
Made up of geCmetric signs
Severely simple in their lines.
An incense from the Cuban isle,
A dudheen putting. black and vile,
A gust of Gods own air which fills
The nostrils and the spirit thrills
The elemental passion housed
In every breast here roars aroused
The loyal lust for great ter powers
And place for mine. Of gain for ours.

Custom and the Blind.

If sixty-eight per cent of the
blindness in the world today could
have been prevented, what a fearful
indictment is to be brought against
ignorance and carelessness? No
wonder the brave and gifted Miss
Keller felt the need of saying to
the delegates TO the American Asso-
citation of Workers for the Blind:
The time for limiting at unpleasant
truths Is past Let US insist that the
States put into practice every known
and approved method of prevention, and
that physicians and teachers open the
doors OF knowledge wide for the people

Telephone Records.

Much of this talk about long-dis-
lance telephoning that has been
heard since the strike of the union
telegraphers began is like shooting
in the dark. In several instances
the Impression has been given that
a person could telephone from
Washington to Buenos Ayres. Not
yet, and not even soon.
The long-distance telephone rec
ord vas made some years ago when
a call went from Boston to Little
Rock, Ark, a distance of about 1850
miles. Every week day a call comes
1000 miles to certain Eastern cities
from Omaha. 1t has something to
do with the meat business. Calls
between Washington and Chicago
are common, but beyond Chicago
and st. Louis the Fastener does
not talk, as a rule.
Still in the air, fguratively, is the
transcontinental line. Some people
seem to be very anxious to have it,
but the telephone experts say there
is no demand for it. When it is 2
p. m. in Washington it is only IL a.
N. in San Francisco. This three
hours difference in time is equiva-
lent to half the financial or COM
mercial day. The stock market, for
instance. Is closing here when the
noon bells are striking at the Golden
Gate. But the difference of only
one hour between Eastern and Cen
trail time makes indispensable some
ready means of communication be-
tween Chicago and st. Louis, on one
side, and Washington, Baltimore,
Philadelphia, New York, and Boston,
on the other.
Again, even if a transcontinentaI
telephone line were needed, it might
still be hard to get. The telephone
engineers are not any too sanguine
regarding the outlook for the mere
lengthening of their long-distance
lines. They are busy at present de
veloping business within the area of
practical results.

HAVE THE TINES MAILED 10 YOU.
FRIDAY. AUGUST 50, 1901.
The Women and Temperance.

A curious story is brought to no.
tice by that interesting novelty In
journalism, ''The Woman's National
Daily" Here it is;
Bayard, Iowa, Aug. 26.-As the eli
max OF a bitter prohibition hgnt, town
drunkard was given sticky coat last
week and the ultimatum was sent broad
cast that similar treatment would be the
portion OF every man who allowed nlm-
self 10 become intoxicated. The women
have banded together in a law and order
league, and Il is claimed that more than
half the wives and daughters OF the
town belong Pickets sighted six woD-
bling men, they were quickly surrounded
by a good sized crowd of yelled women
and hustled of TO convenient spot.
After summary treatment the men were
sent home with a promise Of similar
punishment II they got drunk again.
Neither prohibition nor anything
else can fail in any American town
if the women have reached the tar
and-feathers degree OF interest.
They could close down the rail-
roads, stop horse racing, reform
politics, clean up our cities, by go
ing half as far. Their supper table
arguments, with or without cajoling
and tears, can turn these old United
States upside down.
But it is significant that in the
smaller cities and towns the women
are bitter" against drink. Here
in the Capital we had come to think
they were taking to it ike the men.
And that ought to show US how I'M
certain a guide to American public
opinion our cities are; for it is this
same rural influence that paints
with tar and smears feathers in
Bayard, Iowa, that has made Missis-
sippi, Georgia, Iowa, and North and
South Dakota join Maine, new
Hampshire and Kansas as dry by

Death of Richard Mansfield.

A great actor, a good citizen, a
true husband and father are lost in
the death of Richard Mansfield. A
dozen younger actors, striving Gag

Thousands of foreign-born Ameri-

his general attitude toward men

that he scorned the cheap pretense

To the stage he will long exem-

light and deep shadow. He was an
imPersonatOr of outward character
