COAL STOVES A CURIOSITY
And Cooking by Gas is Old-Fash-
toned, Too.

The life of today is so strenuous
that we hardly realize that the things
which seem commonplace to US would
have been beyond belief to our grand
fathers, says The Delineator for JAM
uary.
Spanning the recollection of people
still living, there have been four sue
ceeding eras In which the forces util-
lied for light and heat have marked
time for our progress in domestic
economy. On a candle-lighted world +,
the kerosene lamp shed its beams in
seeming beautiful brilliance. But the
kerosene lamp went back to the kitch-
en-shelf before the gas-jet, and now
this, too, pales before the electric
light. The coal-stove was hailed as
the Improvement of the age when our
forefathers bricked up their ireplaces.
To-day in the large cities it is Curl
Gus relic only occasionally to be
found. Tomorrow the gas-stove that
has superseded it will have gore to
the dump-heap and the electric stove
will have been installed instead

TARIFF THtt ISSUE.

In response to an inquiry from the
New York World as to the declara-
tiOn of Governor Johnson that the
tariff ought to be made the issue by
the Democrats in 1908, T. E. Ryan,
Wisconsin's member of the national
committee, said:
"GOv. Johnson's telegram certainly
contains sound declarations. In my
opinion the tariff and the trusts, to-
gether with a declaration in favor of
enforcing the laws of state and nation
against corporations will surely be
the paramount issue. The people will
insist, as Johnson says, that corpora
tiOns are as amenable to the laws as
Individuals.
especial privileges granted through
the government to individuals or cor
pOratiOns are contrary to Jefferson
ian Democracy, which stands for
equal rights for all and special privi-
leges for none. The tariff question
gathers under one head, in my opin-
ion, more of the questions that will
be urged in the next national cam
paign, therefore it ought to be de-
clared the paramount issue"

Taft is travelling toward the White
House."
And Mr.. Wellman further says that
among the weapons which are 10 be
used ''to make it lively for the ad-
ministration" are the following:
1.-THE row in the navy department
leading to the resignation of Admiral
Brownson.
The Brownsville negro soldier af-
fair"
1.-THE Philippine tariff
1t is predicted that the president
will not lack defenders, and that the
row over the presidents policies and
methods will therefore be a merry one
There is one statement which Mr..
Wellman makes, the correctness of
which many will be disposed to ques-
ton, but which is true nevertheless,
and that is that our presidents are
given more power in many respects,
than the king of England or the en-
peror of Germany is able to WELD.
And it is for the misuse of this power
that the president is to be brought to
task. 1t will surely be well to watch
future proceedings in Congress, and
see how true political prophet Mr..
Wellman will prove TO be.

State Mining School.

Platteville, Wis, Nov. II: Profess
or Robert B. BrinSmade arrived re-
Gently from Salt Lake City to take up
his work as director of the new State
Mining Trade School here. The old
State Normal building will be used
and it is hoped to have the mining
equipment installed before the formal
opening of the school on Jan. 27, 1908.
A part of the building will be ar
ranged as dormitories for the use of
students.
1t is planned to make the entrance
requirements and grade similar to
those of a high school for manual
training, so that students can get a
good start in mining without going
through a mining engineering college,
The practical work will be supplement
ted by sufficient theory to qualify a
graduate to pass state mine-foreman' s
examinations and thus he can later
rise to the highest executive positions.
The regular mining course will last
two years beginning every January
and will be preceded, where necessary,
by half-year preparatory course be-
ginning in September. For entrance
to the preparatory course a country
school diploma or graduation from
the eighth grade is required and for
the Mining course, half year more
of preparation. Special courses for
practical miners are also planned 6.
The tuition will be free to residents
of Wisconsin, and it is estimated that
students expenses need not exceed
5000 for d school year of 40 weeks.
A part of each of two summers of the
Mining course will be spent by the
students in two different districts, as
paid employees of some mining COM
pany. For athletics large gymna-
stun and outdoor field will be provi-
deG by the school trustees.

FIGHT ON THE PRESIDENT.

Walter Wellman, who is one of the
best posted and ablest writer's for the
press, predicts that there will be live
ly times in Congress during the pre-
sent winter. He says:
"There may be surprise throughout
the country at the fact that Republi-
cans will help discredit an administra-
tiOn of their own party, and that upon
the eve of their presidential campaign.
But facts are stubborn things. There
are plenty of Republicans in both
branches of Congress whose dislike of
Roosevelt and desire to shy brick
at him and his political programme
are keener than their desire for party
success at the polls next year"
Mr.. Wellman believes that out of
the clash of criticism and defence of
the president, the people of the coun-
try will get an insight into truths
which they do not now possess. He
gives the following as reasons why
some Republican Senators and repre-
sentatives are opposed to the presi-
dent:
C"They do not like Roosevelt him
self"
"They are jealous of the wonderful
popularity the President has through
ont the country

are the children? Haven't they got
anyY" But at New Years we found
out that they had. This is the great
holiday of all the year in China, when
everybody hangs out flags and colored
lanterns and sets off f1recrackers. eve
borrowed our custom of firecrackers
for the Fourth of July from China's
New Years. All the people put on
their best clothes and the children the
best of all, jackets and trousers Of
bright blue or green or yellow or pur-

alike that you can only tell them apart
by their hair The boys of course is
braided in a pigtail, and the girls is
done up on her head with silver pins
or, II she's a very grand little girl, with
gold or jade. Thus decked out, the
children go walking with their proud
papas and mammas and often go to
the theater, which is rare treat for
them
