Governor Davidson made two
stand pat" speeches at Madison
when the Republican Candidates met
to adopt state platform. These
speeches were sufficiently stand pat"
in their character to place the COVER
nor of Wisconsin in the same category
with Speaker Cannon.
When the committee on resolutions
was in session in the governors Office,
tariff plank was presented to the
committee in the same fern as that
presented to the Chicago convention
by the Wisconsin delegation and
which had been rejected at Chicago.
In other words, it was the La Toilette
tariff plank, containing specific de-
claration for reduction OF the tariff.
This plank did not suit Governor Da
wilson. State Senator Whitehead, At
torney General Gilbert and several
others made wry faces at it, but it
remained for Governor Davidson to
make real "stand pat argument
against TIC PlOpOoOu pam.
Il am tired of all this talk about
free trade" said the governor, jump
ing to his feet and his face flushed
"This is all nonsense about the Re-
puolicans of Wisconsin adopting tar
if plank; | want to tell you right
row that If there was to be tariff
revision such as e9en the Chicago plat
form calls for we would all be sorry
for 1t in less than Two years. / do

l am a Republican and l propose to
stand by the national platform, but
| cont see any reason for the Re-
publi,ans of Wisconsin making any
declaration on the tariff"
Next morning when the candidates
convention assembled to hear the re-
port of the Committee of Resolutions,
Governor Davidson went on record
against Wisconsin making any declar-
alton on the tariff. He said:
II don't know of anything that will
end the prosperity of this country
quicker than the revision of the tariff
as proposed by Bryan and endorsed
by some of his Republican friends. |

other Republicans stand for, but is it
wise after we endorse the Chicago
platform and Taft's speech to bring

can party of Wisconsin which was re-
jected by the Chicago convention as

TWO PRACTICAL MEN"
The Whiteness of the Pot and tho
Blackness of the Kettles"

From Theodore Roosevelt's letter of
Oct. 4, 1904, to Edward H. Harri-
man.
Now, my dear sir, you and l are
practical men, and you are on the
ground and know the conditions bet
ter than | do. III you think there is
any danger of your visit t. Inc caus-
ing trouble or if you think there is
nothing special should be informed
about, or no matter in which | could

me visit for ne time being, and then
q few weeks hence before | write mr.
message, skall get you to come down
TO discuss certain government Ilatters
not connected with the campslgn.
From Edward III. Harriman's confiden-
tial statement to Sidney Webster.
About a week before the election in
the autumn OF 1904, when it looked
certain shsl the state ticket would go
Democratic and was doubtful as to
Roosevelt himself, he, the president,
sent NE & request to go to Washing
ton to confer upon the political condi-
tons in New York state. l complied,
and he told me he understood the CAM
paign could not be successfully carried
on without sufficient money and asked
IL ] could help them in raising the
necessary funds as the national COM
mittee, under control of Chairman Cor
telyou, had utterly failed of obtaining
them, and there was a large amount
due from them TO the New York state
committee. We talked over what could
be done for Depew, and finally he
agreed that Ii found necessary he
would appoint him as ambassador to
Paris.
With full belief that he. the presi-
dent, would keep his agreement,
came back to New YORK, sent for
Treasurer Bliss. who told me that /
was their last hope and that they had
exhausted every otEer resource. In
his presence | called up an intimate
friend OF Senator Depew, told him that
1t was necessary in order to carry New
York state that $4,000 should be
raised ar once, and if he would help
I would subscribe $4,000. After a
few words over the telephone the
gentleman said he would let me know.
which he did probably in three or four
hours. with the result that the whole
amount. including my subscription,
had been raised.
The checks were given TO Treasurer
Bliss, who took them TO Chairman Cor
telyou. II there were any among
them of life insurance companies. or
any other like organizations, of
course Cortelyou must have Informed

the subscribers were, other than the

EXTRAVAGANZA GALORE.
Down to an Economical
Administration.

The federal administration last year
spent $54 100000 more than it spent
In the 1898 war. At the recent bank
er's convention Lawrence S. Gillespie,
president of the Equitable Trust Com
pany of New York, discussing the adj
ministration, said:
"As in our private life so in our ma
tional finances, the year 1907 seems to
have been one of exceeding cost and
expenditure. The government state
ent at the end of the fiscal year, June
80, 1908, shows deficit of $59656, 1861
and the increased deficit IN July and
August amounting to SOS, 72S000 brings
the total deficit for the preceding four.
teen months up to $SS, 434 ,361, with re-
duced revenues of $4,000, 600. The
year preceding we had surplus Of
100000.
1.-THE government disbursement was
$685., 1852, 124, being in excess OF the
revenues in any year except 1906 and
1897 and S54,0O0,000 more than was
spent in the year when we conducted
the war against Spain and paid the
expense of landing armies in Cuba,
Porto Rico end the Philippine islands"
The Methodist conference continues
to denounee Speaker Cannon because
he refuses to let proposed laws have
a hearing. 1t is all right as far as 1t
goes to vote against Cannon for his
dictation as to what legislation shall or
shall not be considered, and it Is es-
sential also to vote out the Republican
party that makes Cannon's boss-ship
possible. Defeat OF Cannon is good,
but would not remedy the situation
unless the Republicans are turned out
If Republicans win, and Cannon is de-
feated. the same iron rules will be car
ried out by a Sherman or Dalzell or
some other Republican pupil of Cam
noD's.

The Praise of Sugar.


1t seems inconceivable that the bounti-
fulness with which the world is supplied
with sugar should mean anything else
than that it is designed for human food.
Sugar is one of the most powerful foods
which we possess, as 1t Is the cheapest.
or at any rate one Of the cheapest In
muscular labor no food appears to be able
to give the same powers Of endurance as
sugar, and comparative practical expert
ments have shown without the least doubt
that the hard physical worker. the athlete
or the soldier on the march is much
more equal to the physical strain placed
upon him when he has had included in
his diet liberal allowance Of sugar than
when sugar is denied to him. Trophies
prizes and cups have undoubtedly been
won on diet in which sugar was inten-
tionally notable constituent. 1t has
even been said that sugar may decide
battle and that jam, after all. is some
thing more than mere SWeetmeat to the
soldier.
The fact that sugar is powerful mus
Gle 1000 accounts probably for the dis
favor into which 1t falls. for a compara-
lively small quantity amounts to an ex-
cess, and excess is always inimical to the
easy working Of the digestive processes
A strong solution of sugar is Irritating

Aii'ihiiiiHalioi anu MAY produce form or
eczema. 1t is well known that an excess
sive diet of sugar irritates the mucous
membrane of the stomach and encourages
the production of mucus and OF a highly
acid gastric juice
The fngestion Of much sugar spoils
the appetite. Children who have been
tempted to overindulge in "lollipops" be-
tween regular eating times do not want
their ordinary meal The schoOlboy spoils
his dinner by eating too many sweet
things before that meal. An overindul-
gence in sweet liquors. in sweet ices and
in "crystauiZed" fruits after dinner re-
tards the digestion of the meal.
Sugar satiates: it is concentrated
food Where sugar does harm. therefore,
1t is invariably due to excess. Taken in
small quantities and distributed over the
daily food intakes, sugar contributes most
usefully in health to the supply of energy
required by the body. In certain diseases
Of course. the presence OF sugar in the
diet is plainly undesirable. Generally
speaking. however. there is prejudice
against sugar which is not justified by
physiological reasoning-at all events
when it is eaten in moderation: and il is
curious fact that the man who practi-
cally abstains from sugar, or reduces his
diet to one almost free from carbohy-
drates in favor of protein foods such as
meat, often shows feeble muscular energy
and an Indifferent capacity for physical
endurance.

front corridor at it's southern end.
A visit to Arlington was timed for
the middle of the afternoon. In the
meantime respite was taken for dinner.
AS the quest of the Monument was the
business of the day the auto car was
not stopped during its passage through
the National cemetery until it came out
OH the open space from where the Lee
mansion commands its superb view Of
Washington. True to the capricious wont
of April weather a shower had come up
just as the party came out on this space
and the whole of the city was grayed over
with no touch of sunlight within its
boundaries. though beyond on the Anacos
tia hills broad patches of 1t could be
seen travelling westward and soon to
brighten up again the dullness in which
all the houses and buildings were en-

ing a weird light, which nowhere showed
in the sky, appeared a light blue gray. al

ing rain. 1t did not need that the visitor
should be reminded further of the in
finite capacity of the Monument for
moods He was seeing it for himself
Quickly the light was sweeping again

Capitol far in the east and then within
few moments brushing the mist from
the Monument. which now cleaned forth

sky to the northeast, which had been

to the utmost the symbolism and this
suddenly disclosed white mood of the
Monument. No word was spoken until
they turned to depart.
Il fancy myself an apt pupil said the
visitor. But it seems ages since this
morning when l called that Just a pile
Of stone.'" He nodded toward the Monu-
ment as the car slipped into the wooded
heights.
But the quest was not done. There
were yet other phases. though. the Wash
| ingtonian again explained. all these were
but a small proportion. 1t was necessary
to see many of them to realize for one
thing how susceptible the Monument is to
changes of color, mostly through
/ marvellous variation of grays. At 10
o'clock that night the two friends were
again speeding in the vicinity of the
Monument, where they had commenced
| in the morning. Clouds of varying shape
and density were drifting in two or three
separate upper air currents. The moon,

ray has perched upon the very tip; other
rays follow, the whole summit Is again
illuminated. Now the sun has dashed
out suddenly from behind the clouds and
the entire length of the Monument has
instantly flashed into the light. But come,
there are many angles and points of view
only a few of which we can observe to-
day"
direction was given quietly to the
chauffeur. who also had become such an
attentive listener THAR for a moment his
professional alacrity was at fault The
auto sped up the curved roadway to the
base OF the Monument and came To a
stop on the Swallowed north side.
Look up!' But the visitor was already
doing that.
Il can see that 1t quits up yonder, but
1t looks miles high" he said. The con-
versing lines of the perspective perhaps

Yes" replied his companion. II have
looked up from this same spot when the
upper portion was yelled in mist. and the
illusion then, if one let loose his fancy a
little. was If the Monument went on up
unendingly.
Another quiet word TO the chauffeur and
the auto swept down the western slope
and thence by the straight driveway to

just before reaching 18th street. the chtuf-
four turning the machine SO that the
Monument was brought easily into view.
