Nowhere in the world is there such an
abundance of good juvenile literature as

pressly for children in all the Marathi-

Giles, and to reproduce some of its cuts.
To furnish good wholesome reading for

What Tramps Really Are.

Fully one-third of the tramps in this
country are men of more than the aver
age intelligence, and an equal number are
tramps for only small period of their
lives. Also large number of the yeggs
are tramps not because of preference for
that style of life, but because they are
following the course of the least resist
ance, and as tramps are better able to es-
cape the police, having a greater indie
pendence of movement and being in a
stated class of men that is generally sus-
pected, are less open to individual suspic-
ION.
Before passing to the concluding opin-
ion of any length | will summarize in
brief the expressions of number of men
whose experience should weigh much.
When asked if crime paid they voiced
themselves as follows: Honesty is the
best policy for starving man" said one,
1T depends on the man and his sporting
propensities," said another. Warden
McQlaugherty, of Leavenworth: "Crime
is a dreadful waste of the public funds
for correction, the property of robbed in
dividuals, and the operating time and
prison time and energies of the crimi-
nails" In this connection it is interest
ing To calculate that the 80 600 persons
that make up the average prison popula-
ton of this country at present if employ
ed at the average wage rate in the classes
of employment they profess, which
calculate at 1884 per year. would earn
tie enormous sum of S47 ,700,0 600 per an.

TAFT and the Roosevelt Policies.

To the defense, explanation and lauda-
tior of the policies of the President. Sec.
rotary Taft devoted practically the whole
of his carefully prepared keynote
speech. Delivered just as he is starting
upon trip about the world as the
travelling man" of the Administration,
it is in effect the platform for his Presi-
dental candidacy.
Mr.. Taft explains how the Interstate
Commerce act of 1887 was robbed of
much of its value by the legal delays it
allowed and how the Elkins act was
passed with the help of the railroads be-
cause it abolished the prison penalty, a
change which Mr.. Taft, like The World,
thinks unfortunate. OF this useful meas
ure he says that it "cannot be compared in
Importance of operation and effect to
the Rate bill" Yet, as Mr.. Foraker has
said, most of the actions the Department
of Justice is pushing were brought under
the older act.
Even "the Rate law does not go far
enough" however. Mr.. Taft proposes its
amendment to prevent overcapitalization
by provision like that contained in the
Public Utilities law of New York State,
that the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion shall pass upon all issues of railroad
securities.
Mr.. Taft is opposed to the government
ownership of railroads because of the
danger of inefficiency, because of the
enormous cost and because of the politi-
cal power that would be exercised by the
employment of so many men. He de-
plores the evils of swollen fortunes, says
that the States lean best remedy the
dangers of too great accumulation of
wealth in one hand by controlling the
descent and devolution of property, and
they ought to do So" and adds that
when more revenue is needed he would
favor Federal taxes on incomes and on
nheritances, both graduated.
In expressing complete, thorough and
sincere sympathy" with ''what have pro
perly come to be known as President
Roosevet's policies Mr.. Taft repudiates
the idea that the Administration should
"let up on rich criminals. Says he
"Mr Roosevelt's only policy and sworn
duty is to prosecute with fullest vigol
the corporations and individuals whose
fragrant violations Of the laws make il
necessary to do so in order that complete
reform may be effected in our business
methods
Mr., Taft favors protection, but not tC
the point where it sfosters monopoly
What will most interest the stand-patter'
is that he does not favor Immediate
revision, but holds that the new Congress
should attack the tariff problem in 1909
the Republican party meanwhile adopt

Crimes One Sure Reward.

Cannot the solution af the problem be
found in itself? Why do men become
criminasI In many instances because
they have a grudge against society, and
in a much larger number because they
believe that the returns are higher in
proportion to their efforts than they can
find in any other and more honorable
walk of life. The increase of the effici-
cy of the police forces and detective
bureaus throughout the country and the
doing away of any suggestion of collu-
sion between those who war against
society and society's protectors should
tend to show complementary decrease
in the number of criminals.
How many young men of loose morals
who for the first time face temptation
would fall and begin criminal careers il
they realized the appalling chances in
favor of their incarceration by the State
and the loss of their citizenship? The
lure of crime lies in the vast profits
which embryo criminals foolishly believe
are to be derived therefrom; but from q
purely economic standpoint are the pro
fits commensurate with the risks? Day
by day the courts condemn and incarcer
ate ableboded men who might be work

The Old Adaqe True.

If the suckers were all dead such con-
Germs as the Globe Association of Chica
90, against which the government lately
issued fraud order, would not exist for
twenty four hours. They advertised to
sell $3.50 pair of shoes for SO cents
and strange as.i may seem, their mails
were flooded with remttances from
those wanting to take advantage of this
philanthropic offer. When will people
learn that it costs about so much to buy
good goods any place: A catalogue
house can not sellia $3.50 pair of shoes,
that are good value and worth that
money, any cheaper than any merchant
in any town in this State. This same
rule applies to any other article But
the trouble is people patronize. these in
situations and imagine they have OBJ
tanned bargain, when they really could
have bought the same quality right at
home for the.same or less money. The
fact Is that even merchants who have
been in the business for years, ninety
nine times out of alhundred, cannot de-
tecl the difference in the quality of the
goods. Some of these days our large
catalogue houses are going to come ur
against Uncle Sans postal laws with a
heavy. thud, on.the ground of fraudulent
statements in their advertising.
