President Roosevelt declined to ac-
cept a watch because it was engraved
as having been presented to him "as
a demonstration Of the methods of the
American watch trust" The watch
was purchased in England OF a dealer
who had paid the American watch
trust sos for 1t and would have cost
an American dealer $1O.5s. Thus does
the tariff protect the trust and the
English buyer and tax the purchaser
in the United States, and yet the
standpatters have been denying that
the trusts sell cheaper to foreigners
than TO our own people. Is it not
about time to give our own people the
benefit of these bargains?

years they have undoubtedly cost us
half as much more, or a total Of
$1,000, 100000. This averages S11O,.
100000 for the nine years We have had
our new responsibilities in the Far

What We receive in return is the
profit on a ridiculously small trade,
ACCOMPLISHMENTS and exports to-
,gether-in 1906 to but s1S,S57 900.
1T is about time we gave up these
Islands anyway. Judge Bloupt Of Ma
con has proved logically from the
words OF congressional investigators
and from reports Of American army
officers and officials, that the Filipinos
are capable of a certain amount Of
self-goyerpment, even at present.
They should have as much OF 1t as
possible and It should be extended
and amplified as rapidly as conditions
will admit until we are entirely free
from the cost and responsibility
The burdens imposed by the victory
OF Dewey are growing instead of less
eping and a party in political power
is not letting the truth be known. We
have no business with the Philippines
anyhow, and the sooner we let them
so, the better for us at home and
abroad"

MINISTER WAS SORRY HE
 HAD NO BET ON THE GAME

con Morris whispered back so he could be heard by half the church:
 "SoX got 'em beat in the sixth
 For just an instant everybody looked startled, and then the minister, whether by accident or design, no one knows, re- marked:
 Let us sing the long meter doxology."
 But there is a minister out on the northwest side who made himself one of the most nopular men in the district on that same Sunday afternoon when all Chicago and most of the world waited to hear the news.
 There was a meeting of the Bible class called for 4:30 in the afternoon. This class is the biggest thing in the church, and almost all the men and women, es- peciaily the young ones, are members.
 That Sunday afternoon the lecture, room of the church was crowded-and the minister was late. He usually start ed things off. and then turned over the meting to the class itself, explaining and helping only when needed or called upon. Do the meeting was opened without him.
 Shortly thereafter he came in, red from rapid walking, and beaming with smiles He sat down until the hymn was finished, and then, walking forward, remarked:
 Ladies and Gentlemen: I have glori- ous news for you. The White Soxs are champions of the world-I stopped to learn the score, feeling that we could study better if we knew"
 And the class broke into cheers.

Servants In New Zealand.

From Harper weekly.
 In connection with the advanced posi- tion taken by labor in New Zealand, it is interesting to note the attitude of the domestic servants of that colony. A union has been formed which, through its secretary at Wellington, sent out cir culars to housewives, informing them of the claims. of the Domestic Workers union, and expressing the hope that their reasonableness would be acknowledged by signing the agreement accompanying the circular letter, which informs those concerned that 'by so doing you will obviate the unpleasantness of appearing personally or by agent before the con- ciliation board of arbitration court" Here are some of the claims;
 'rhe weeks work shall consist of sixty eight hours, to be divided as follows: Work to commence every morning, except holidays, at 6:S0 a. m., and cease on Mon- days. Tuesdays Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 D. m., with three intervals. of one half hour each for meals, and one hours interval in the afternoon of each day.
 'On Thursday work shall cease at ? D. m., with two intervals Of one-half hour each for meals.
 "On Sundays work shall cease at 2 p. m., with two intervals of half an hour each for meals, but domestics shall, if re- quired, prepare tea between the hours of 5:3O p. m. and 6:30 p. m. on alternate Sun days.
 "On Wednesday work shall cease at 10 p. m., with three intervals of half an hour each for meals and one hour inter- val in the afternoon.
 "On Sundays two hours shall be allowed to attend church in the morning.
 Christmas Day. Boxing Day. New Years Day, Kings Birthday. Prince of Wales Birthday, Anniversary Day, Easter Monday, Labor Day, and all statutory holidays shall be deemed to be holidaye, and work done on those days shall be paid for at the rate of shilling CA cents) per hour." 1jg ! To what extent these "claims' have been acknowledged has not yet trans pired.

State Flowers.

From the Youths Companion.
 The mountain laurel, that splendid member of the heath family to which the rhoddendron and azalea belong, has been adopted by the Connecticut legisla- ture as the state flower. Peter Kahn, a Swedish botanist, who visited this coun- try in the eighteenth century pronounced it the most beautiful flower in America and nj troduced it into Europe They call it kalmia, in his honor. Both Washington and West Virginia have adopted the rhododendron, so the family seems to be getting appreciation at home after many years. The goldenrod is more popular than any other as state flower, for it has been adopted by either the school children or the legislatures of Alabama, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri. Nebras- ka and Pennsylvania. The rose comes next to goldenrod in popularity. Four states have chosen it.
