LET THE CHILDREN

Some criticism was heard yesterday
against the action Of teachers Of a
number Of public schools in dismissing
pupils during the heavy downpour OF
rain. In some instances the children
had to be carried across the streets
by patrolmen and citizens. and there
was not a youugster who was not
drenched to the skin. In consequence
many Of the children are now suffer

AMONG THE EDITORS.


Secretary Taft, who is now on his
way to the Philippines, will be absent
from the country for several months,
but that fact somehow seems TO slim
ulate public interest in his availability
for the presidency. Mr.. Taft has had
a wider experience in pubic AFFAIRS
than any other man mentioned for the
great Office which seems to be calling
for him. He solved the difficult prob
lem Of the Philippines, stopped the in
surrection in Cuba and put the island
in a healthy condition in few days,
and above all he is successfully con-
Quoting the most stupendous engineer
ing undertaking TO be found anywhere
in the worlds history-the Panama
canal.
This wide range OF his successful
experience in dealing at first hand
with administrative problems Of the
first magnitude appeals to the public
imagination. Seldom has member of
any cabinet in the history Of the coun.
try had such an opportunity to show
his mettle. 1t will not be as an unde-
termined factor that the war secre-
tary will go before the country as a
candidate, should he be selected for
the Republican standard bearer in the
next campaign Mr.. Taft's experience
in dealing with the problems Of world
politics will stand him in good stead
as a candidate for the Office Of Pres
ident of the United states.-AIorgan'

a strike stop the hammer of the car.
penter, the pick Of the miner or the
wheels Of our factories, then we would
realize what 1T all means. The mer.
chants would at once begin to curtail
expenses, clerks would be let go, build
ing operations in the town would halt
and distress would stare even the we'll
TODD in the face.
We would not for minute decry
organized labor as such. Labor has
a perfect right to organize, but 1t
ought to steer clear of the agitator
and vicious counsellor through whom
come multitude Of woes. The man
who gives unwise counsel to labor I'm.
ions and causes them to fall out with
their employers without a cause is as
great criminal in fact, if not before
the law, as the man who waylays bis
fellow and robs him. Doesn't the ag.
itator who succeeds in causing strikes
take money from the wage earner's
pocket and doesn't he often cause the
children Of the laborer to go hungry?
The greatest lesson the wage earners
have to learn is how to distinguish
friend from an enemy. That has been
the weakness of organized labor ever
since 1t came into being and 1t has
much to learn on that point yet.

A Parkersburg dalryman changed
his work little this year and raised
some chickens. He has to date rear.
ed and marketed over 5000 chickens,
realizing handsome profit. So en-.
couraged is he with his new venture
that he proposes to go into the poul.
try business on a large scale and he
is now making preparations to that
end. He proposes to raise from $4,000
to 10000 chickens next year. This
man is beginning to see what can be
done in this State by the poultry rails.
err, the fruit grower the truckman

Fairmont so we won't have to buy so

Republican revision, or REIMBURSEMENT,

Republican revision, or REIMBURSEMENT.
That the tariff requires some read
justment Is asserted by the ablest
students Of the subject, with the sin
gle exception of the representatives
of those industries which are now en-
ioying unfair profits as result Of
the existing schedules. For instance
the manufacturers Of almost every
tyne of machinery insist that they
cannot benefit from the improved
methods Of manufacturing steel, and
thus purchase their raw material as
reasonably as they should, until the
tariff on steel is reduced. The only
opponent Of such reduction appears
to be the Steel Trust. Other manu-
facturers maintain that their bust
ness will be increased whef some of
the materials they are compelled to
buy are reduced by a decrease in the
existing schedules. It is urged that
it requires experts to determine what
reductions may properly be made, but
a Republican Congress can always
consult such experts. 1t made the
Dingley Law and proved It was able
to frame a tariff law that was both
wise and Just, and to assert that a
Republican Congress cannot alter to
meet changed conditions the tariff
law which It has made is practically
to assert that the creature Is greater
than the creator. The advocates Of
no change appear to forget that those
who urge revision are not advocating
revision by the Democrats, who are
always hostile to the protective sys-
TEN, but readiustment by men who
believe heartily in the policy of pro-
lection and who will no more sacrifice
American Industries to-day, or two
years from now, than they did when
they replaced the ridiculous Wilson
German tariff bill with the Dingley
law.

The Power Of
Ready Cash
If you WOULD BE INDEPEND
EMIT, SAVE SOMETHING
REGULARLY.

Ready cash Is the greatest moving
force in the business world. Many a
man can date the beginning of his
life's failure from the day he first
felt the dire need Of a little ready
cash and was forced to borrow it.
Others who could not borrow missed
the great opportunity Of their lives to
get start on the road to independ'
ence and wealth.
Commodore Vanderbilt worked night
and day saving every penny until he
had $4,000, then with this amount in
cash he was enabled to buy the bust
ness that was to be the corner stone
Of his immense fortune
When the children Of today are be-
ing RECALLED with the tlme-worn story
Of George washington's little Ratchet,
It would be a splendid plan to vary
the theme by telling them Of George
Washington's little account book. From
boyhool he kept the strlctest account
Of his expenditures, being careful to
show each week an increase in the
"cash on hand"
The boy or man with some ready
money in the bank has a feeling OF
healthy independence to be secured IN
no other way.
How many of us are there who can
not recall the time when we have
been forced to say, "oh If I only had
a little money to start with l could
make a fortune"
"Therc is tide in the affairs oil
man which taken at the flood leads
on to fortune" Ask the great finna'
ciers Of to-day whether they doubt
the truth Of this statement. Our mer
chant princes, our mine owners, our
land holders, any and all Of the men
who have accumulated great wealth
and they will tell you that the first
change in the tide Of their affairs
was due to the careful investment of a
little money.
How would the late Marshall Field
have bought an interest in the firm
by whom he was employed II he had
not saved and accumulated a few
thousand dollars Of available cash?
John Wanamaker Is another man
who, from a salary Of S1.2o a week,
saved Ten cents a day car fare by
walking four miles to and from work,
laying the ten cents away, hoping
some day to have money enough to
buy himself a business that would al
low him to ride in his own carriage.
