SOME or THE REASONS WHY
Various People Are Anxious to Rip
Up the Tariff.

There are various reasons in the
minds Of men promoting the dislre
for a taking up of the tariff question.
In the first place every manufac.
turer who favors tariff changes has in
mind the other man. never once think
ing that he will he hit.
Secondly, the man who would have
a change has in mind lower prices for
the other man. not for himself.
Third, the salaried class who feels
that their situations are permanent
This class has always been in favor OF
practical free.trade.
Fourth. the man who has plenty Of
money with which to avail himself of
the advantages to be offered to him in
the way of low.priced property. In
other words, the man who is prepared
TO make money u Of disaster wei
ome disaster.
Fifth. there is a class OF men who
think the wage worker Is getting to
be too o~bstreperous, too hard to han
die, all the time wanting more money.
A suspension OF business, caused by
tarift ripping, would, they say. bring
the wage worker to his senses by
causing him to seek a job instead OF
having the job seek him, as is the
case at the present time. Men are not
asking for more wages when they are
out Of work. Then they are only ask
ing for jobs. Tariff ripping would
throw men out of employment. The
National Manufacturers association
has declared for an immediate revi-
sion Of the tarin. That association is
a%nti-union,
Sixth, there are those who are com
planning that they are weary of the
servant girl tyranny. They want some
thing to break the servant girls back,
figuratiyely speaking. Closing factor.
les and shops by tariff ripping, would
throw girls and women out of emf.
plnyment and they would be COMPEL
ed to seek domestic service.
Hence tariff ripping, some people
think, would solve the servant girl
problem.
These are some of the classified
lions and some of the reasons for the
tariff ripping sentiment which prevails
to.day.-Des Moines Capital.

THE STORY.

r HE expedition against the Ammon-
i ties had already been delayed be-
yond all reasonable excuse and Joab,
the captain of the hosts of Israel, chat.
ed and fumed under the restraint.
Experienced man of wal as he was,
he knew that valuable time was be.
ing lost and the time of year when
the campaign could be conducted
most successfully was slipping away.
Had he had his way, King David
would have started three weeks ago,
but he did not now seem any nearer
the point of departure than he was
at that time when he had informed
him that the army was in readiness to
move against the enemy. Joab knew
that 1t was not cowardice upon the
part OF King David which kept him
at Jerusalem, for no drawer man oil
more able commander ever led tbs
armies oil Israel than he. And fol
this reason 1t made the situation tn,
mora puzzling.
Joab waited as long as he could, ant
then sought the presence OF the KIM
and demonstrated with him.
Each day that we tarry here bu
adds to the strength Of our enemies!
he exclaimed, impatiently.

For the past Ave years the voice OF
the ~so-called "stand.patter' has been
steadily against any disturbance Of
the tariff. Recent events and exist.
ing co ditions in the political field
would seem to indicate that the man
who said Let the tariff alone was
the mar who was cipht all the time.
Does anybody at this moment re-
gret that the tariff has been let alone
for the past iye years?
Does anybody dispute that the coun.
try is in every way richer and better
OF because OF five straight years OF
stand.pat policy?
Ii 1906 stand.pat vas the declared
policy Of the congressional campaign.
1t was the policy alike of the congress

United States adopted a resolution
calling for tariff revision at the ear

meantime wide.open reciprocity ar

said: Let the tariff alone
Three months after the manufac
turers in convention declared for i'm

changed their tune. and are now say.
ing that the tariff should not be
touched for two years to come.
They. too. are nearer to the stand
Pat position than they were last May
and again It is not the stand pattel
who has changed his position.
All the time. for FIVE straight years
the stani.patter has said that tarif
disturbance meant harm to business
harm to labor and wage earning
harm to the Republican party. There

To-day the tariff riprers Of three

LARGEST CAVE IN WEST.
Most Remarkable Cavern Discovered
in California Mountains.

Two gOld.prospectors recently dis
covered in the Santa Susanna noun
tains, about so miles from Los An
geles, Cal, the largest and most re.
markable cave in western America.
While looking for indications of gold
they found an opening which they
entered. The opening led to a great
cavern consisting of many passages,
some of them wide, but most OF them
narrow and lofty. The passages lead
into great halls, some containing
an acre, studded with stalagmites and
stalactites, in some cases so thickly
that 1t is dificult to get through. The
walls of one of these halls are covered
with rude drawings, some almost OBJ
liberated, but others still clear. The
drawings represent incidents of the
chase, Showing Indians on foot pur-
suing bear, deer and other animals.
One wall. painting shows the bear pur'
suing the hunter. The work is done
with a soft, red tone much used by
the Indians for that purpose,

EVOLUTION OF HORSES HOOP,

The horse had originally five fully
developed toes; but in the course Of
ages the two at each side wore away,
and the middle one was developed IN.

modern horse " narrow splint.bones
still represent former toes.

What Tariff Smashing Would Do.

II the United States were to adopt
the ideas Of the tariff smashers and
buy mostly abroad where labor is
paid what Americans would call star
walton wages, so that money was con
stantly and largely shipped out Of the
country and labor reduced to the basis
Of foreign wage scales in competing
industries, the sending of the circulat.
