Richard c. Kerens of Missouri spent
$50, $40 in his campaign for the United States
senate at the November primaries. He got

Even in the excitement of congress and
other unIoward events, 1t is worth while

President Roosevelt has accepted honor
airy membership in the Chicago Historical
society and a portrait of the president,

In a recent speech Mayor Hibhard of Bos-

FOR REAL TARIFF REVISION.

Mr.. Taft's public statement that,
after a conference with Mr.. Cannon
and other republican leaders in con-
gress, he is convinced that the special
session of congress-, to be called in
next March, will pass a bill which
of the tariff on the basis of the plat
form of the republican party, will be
cheering news to the whole people.
The statement is an assurance that no
matter what influences may attempt
to interfere with the action of the
next congress, Mr.. Taft is going to
do his utmost to fill the pledges made
by the republican party and endorsed
and intensified by him. Mr.. Taft's
policy on the question of tariff re-
vision was enunciated long before he
was a candidate for the presidency
and he is. clearly determined to make
good on his promises to the people.
MI. Taft will have a distinct ad-
vantage when the tariff revision pro-
gram is called for consideration in
congress. He is in nosition to demand
that the party's pledges be made good,
and failure to respond to that demand
will rest upon the congressman who
will have to report to their people in
the middle of Mr.. Taft's administra-
ton. The present mood of the coun-
try is emphatically in favor of a real
revision of the tariff and ven the
most ardent standpatters in the senate
and house must appreciate this fact
Speaker Cannon and some of his i'm
mediate followers in the house under
stand the public sentiment on the
question and are already showing q
disposition to cooperate with the
president in carrying out the pledges
OF the party platform. Few congress
men will care to go home and face an
election with the brand of treachery
to party promise burned into theil
records. The "reactionaries," so
called, know this and are showing
that they know it.
The hearings now being held by the
ways and means committee of the
house will only serve as q recommend

AMERICAS MINERAL PRODUCTION

The annual report of the geological
survey for the fiscal e ending with

information concerning the produc-
ton of precious metals for that pc
riod. Compared with 1907 there was
a decrease of s4.OOO.OOO in gold,

in pig iron was $4,000, 900. The coal
production was $103, 900, 900 above
that of 1907 and the oil output was
$2S, 900. 900 greater. The total value
of metallic and non-metallic products
in 1907 was In excess Of SO, 200, OO0,-
900, which added to the IS, 600, OOO,-
900 produced on the farms furnishes
a healthy showing of $40, 900, 600, 900
added to the nations wealth during
the year.

TOYLAND DAYS.
Detroit Free Press.

Detroit Free Press.
Treadlng lanes that lead today
Into Toyland, wondrous fair,
Hand in hand W go our way
To the home of Teddy bears;
To the and of NOah s ark,
To the camps of soldiers tin,
Where no day is ever dark,
And where only young get In.
Young of heart and young of years
Hand in hand together stray.
Vanished are all cares or fears,
This the season of play,
Now WI dance adown the lanes,
Filled with laughter and delight,
Naught of worry here remains,
'Toyland days are always bright.
Where the china dollie dwells.
Now a-visiting we go;
Laughter sweet as chime of bells
Sets pulses all aglow.
Eyes are bright and open wide,
Lips are always smiling there;
Love, the boy who acts as guide,
Leads us into wonders rare.
Now we wander in and out
Lanes of tinsel and of paint;
Here are brownies strangely stout,
Here are little ladies' quaint;
Here are dolls of wondrous size,
Wooed by soldiers gay n bold;
Here's a land of great surprise,
More than ever could be told.
Little laughing boy of mine,
Soon, too soon, you'll older grow,
And these journeys you'll resign;
Toyland never more will know
You again, or hear your shout
Till the day a baby hand
Steals in yours to lead you out
To the Joys Of toy-shop land.

be chosen by the entire body of the peer
age. This would transform the theoretical
constitution OF the House Of Lords, but
would leave its actual personal composition
little changed, save by the formal exclusion
of a great many peers who are now entitled
to sit, but beldom exercise that privilege.
The proposed new body would include all
the best of the present members with some
infusion of new blood. The political COM
plexion Of the body would not be altered.
1t would leave the Liberals, as at present,
hopelessly in the minority, and the So
called "interests'' fortified against radical
reforms. 1t is apparent the present min
istry will not challenge the country on the
old issue of lending or mending'' the upper
house, and should the mending come at all
It must come from within.
Carrie Nations advent into Great Britain
is peculiarly we'll timed. The pettlcoat
warrior Of Kansas scents trouble from afar,
and when she cannot conveniently butt
into trouble started by others, she starts a
bunch of trouble by herself. Evidently
she scented the reaction in England and
saw an opening for fresh notoriety. Unfor-
t~unately for her reputation as a smasher,
she is hopelessly outclassed in youth,
Deduly, vocal power ana SCrappy talent
by her English sisters. The recent affair
In the House of Commons, where suffra-
gettes chained themselves to the gallery
grill and hooted the members, and lately
at Albert hall, London, where they howled
and groaned at a representative of the
ministry, attacked policemen with whips,
and started a trough house SURPRISING
the best record of Topeka, clearly puts
the Kansas smasher in the kindergarten
class. Carrie is a gentle May breeze COM
pared with the suffragist cyclone. She
Is learning new tricks for her trade.
One OF the notable legislative triumphs
of the present British ministry was the

troll one, the Presbyterians the other, leav-

grievance and puts a large score to the

Economy Must Be Practiced.

New YOrk IrlDuIle,
That the national administration appre-
ciates the temper in which the budget max
ing should be approached is indicated by the
instructions to various departments against
salary raising. Congress should exhibit a
similar spirit. The results of the last national
election were much more favorable to the
republican party in general than to the
party in congress. The public is likely to
be unusually critical of its work in pro-
ducing this years budget, for the need of
economy is wildly before the minds of the
people by reason of the cutting down of
expenses that business has had to resort
to, and of the attention that has been at
tracted in the wastefulness OF municipal
government.

bill prepared as a result of the pres

that will scale down the duties that
are too high, reduce the protection no
longer needed to prosperous indus

party to the people, as promised in

HOW TO CURE
 THE GRIP

Rest, warmth and quiet are the three sovereign remedies fo- this disease, and the best preventives of its secondary complications. Go to bed and remain m bed until we'll on the way toward recovery. Two or thre. days in bed wheH you first contract the disease IS better than two or three weeks later on. Also take double dose of Cham berlains Cough Remedy to begin with and then the regular dose every hour. Ii it should nauseate. discontinue 1t un- til the nausea subsidies and then take 1t in smaller doses or less frequently
 Before going to bed take two of Cham berlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets and tarhc the feet in water as warm as can be comfortably borne. If the attack IS severe one take sulphate of quiniIe in doses of two grains each. every four hours, for a few days it will help up the vitality and enable the system to withstand the attack.

The question of the legality of the committee selected, as against the regular committee, said by the Forakers to be a Taft Organi- zation. will now be placed in the hands of the county board of elections.
 The claims of the sO-called Roose- welt committee, third element in the local situation. also rests in the same situation. IL will be the duty of the board to determine which committee is lawful and of authority to act for the party in the county.
 To place the issue squarely before the board. each committee has issued a of the same date. February II. The board has until Wednesday to decide upon the merits of each claim. Many policemen were on duty in the cOnven- ton hall in anticipation of an enceun- ter between the Forakerites and the followers of Taft. who early announced their intention of packing the conven- tion. but it was as quiet as a Sunday school convention. Everything went through unanimously and without a hitch. Resolutions condemning the regular committee and the one-man power party were adopted.
