NEWS NOTES.

The official statement Of the Treas
ury receipts and expenditures for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1908, shows
a marked falling off in receipts as COM
pared with 1906 and large increase
in expenditures. The excess of expen-
diture over receipts for the year will
approximate $50, 100000 This has on
" been exceeded twice since the Civil
War. The deficiency in the postal
revenues for the present year will
probably reach $13, 100000, as against
$500, 900 for 1907. This is the larg
est postal deficiency in the history of
the United States Government except
in 1905.

The Value of Tears.

DR.. Romme, a French svanat, write
in La Revue, an article in which III
speaks eloquently of the usefulness 0
tears. He declares that they are mos
useful in cases of great sorrow. Cry
ing creates cerebral torpor, menta
Indifference which dulls the keen edgt
of grief, and in measure knits VI
the travelled sleeve of care like sleep
One browns sorrow more surely il
tears than in alcohol. Never restrain
them, advises the physician. Lei
them leak till they form a near ap
proach to the waters of Lethe and
''shut up sorrows eye" with brain
slumber. Tears form, especially will
children. safety valve which pro
serves the balance for the brain.
But in this dissertation the learned
leech has missed the chief usefulness
of tears. 1t is as final argument
that they perform their major func.
tion The lachrymal glands are child
hoods and womanhood's weapons OF
defense against the abridgement OF
their rights and the defeat of their
projects by their physical superiors
For centuries before DR.. Romme was
born this fact was recognized. Tears
are weapons of offense with which
conquests are made: "What lost a
world and made a hero fly? The tim
i'd tear in Cleopatra's eye"
Before the physicians discovered
that tears are of therapeutic value the
poets and philosophers and even men
of no great intellectual caliber, but of
large experience with women, learned
that tears that resemble pearls, ac-
cording to the makers of verse; are
deadlier than bullets for certain pur-
poses. BY them a strong man is
transformed into 100 pounds of
thumbs, when the woman in the case
begins to weep, and in nine cases out
of ten he pleads guilty to every crime
in the calendar if confessing uncom-
mitted sins promises to abate the
storm.
Next to alibi witnesses, than which
they are often a cheaper commodity
and more readily obtainable upon
short notice, tears are the most effec-
tive advocates in courts of law. Shrewd
lawyers bring Niobe into
court and pump her dry of tears for
the benefit of the defendant, with the
common result of hanging the jury or
securing the acquittal Of as great a
scoundrel as ever went unwhipped of
instice, to repeat his infractions of the
law.
In domestic affairs arguments unan-
swerable, and proofs of horsesense in
are dissolved by few
impid tears as easily as Cleopatra S
pearl was discovered in wine-or was
vinegar?-to make historic exam
Die of the cost of a, woman's whim.
How often has her whimper cost as
much and gone unrecorded?
1t is doubtless true, as Dr. Romme
.sserts, that the tears of childhood is
like the dew upon the rose," but it is
ot as curative agent, but as an ul-
innate resource that tears are of the \
reatest value to both children and
heir mothers and sisters. Turned on
they change the tryant into
suppliant, the judge into the culprit,
ne wronged and the wroth into petit
oners for pardon. Emm4E1n

MINNEAPOLIS, June 2.-Representa-

socation to be known as the Lumber

posed of various lumber associations. The
temporary officers are as follows: Presi-
dent John A. Bruce of Strader, La; sec

ENCOURAGEMENT COSTS CASH
Railroads Put Lumber Rates on Low
Basis Only to Help Industries,
Says Railroad Man.

THE railroads have learned that they
must not put in rates to encourage infant
industries unless they want those rates to
remain forever" said a prominent railroad
man. we have had a similar experience
several times, and now the lumber rates
will not be raised on the same ground.
These rates were originally put into effect
on low basis to encourage the Industries
of the northwest, and now that they have
reached gigantic proportions the railroads
tried TO restore the rates to a better pay
ing basis and the commission denied the
right"
In November 1907, the lumber rates from
the Pacific northwest were raised 10 cents
to St. Paul and cents to the Missouri
river This advance to the Missouri river
points is wiped out and it is thought by
the railroad men the advance to st. Paul
is also denied.
The rate to Omaha has been 10 cents
higher from the northwest than Il was to
st. Paul but by the adjustment the rail-
roads wished to make. the rate would have
been but cents higher to Omaha. The
rates go back to the old basis of 10 cents
difference.
Railroad men say this difference between
st. Paul and Omaha makes very little diff
ference to either city.

ENEMIES OF UNION LABOR
Mr.. Lewis Says Worst Are JeaIousies
Inside Organization and
Strong Drink.

CANTON, ILL.,, June 21.-National Presi-
dent Lewis of the United Mine Workers of
America, in an address at a miners eel
bration day said:
''One of two worst enemies Of organized
labor. is organized labor itself. because OF
a tendency OF some union supporters to
criticize the faults of their fellows rather
than commend their virtues. "a
The other is the abnormal appetite of
some union men for. strong drink. AS
workingmen we ask nothing for ourselves
that we are not willing to accord people in
all walks of life. l have been called radi-
cal and 1 tell you l am just radical enough
to fight to the last for what l think be-
longs to us without encroaching on the
rights of others; and am just conserva-
tive enough to stop fighting when the well
fare of the organization is concerned, So
far as the mining industry of Illinois is
concerned wrongs will be righted when
the men understand what is wrong and
bring into action reason supported by in
telligence to change existing conditions"
The speaker urged regard for law and
order and credited to the influence of or
ganized labor the prevention of lawless-
ness on the part Of foreigners in the recent
economic crisis.

SUFFRACETTES ON PARADE
Monster Demonstration Given in Hyde
Park. London.
HALF MILLION IN ATTENDANCE
Women Come from All Parts of
ENGLAND and Speakers Have TO
Fight Their Way to
Platforms.

LONDON, June H-Favored by beautiful
weather and again displaying a totally
unexpected genius for organization, the
suffragettes' demonstration in Hyde Park
today was an unparalleled success. En-
couraged by previous successes, the suf-
fragettes planned todays demonstration as
a climax of the years fight for woman S
suffrage. 1t is hardly too much to say
there never before was such a political
demonstration seen in London.
fully 10000 people assembled in and
around Hyde Park as active or passive
participants In the great meeting, while
for two or three hours in the middle of
the day the whole center of the city was In
ferment. Various professions appeared,
each about a mile long, and the routes
through which these passed we're densely
crowded with spectators.
The suffragettes from ''the provinces
were met at the various railroad stations
by delegations from the London organiza-
tion, and these, forming into line, marched d
fro indifferent points of the compass to
Hyde Park. After arriving there. the lead
ers and speakers for the various sections
had literally to fight their way to the
platforms. Probably there were about
twenty speakers in ALL and these har-
rangued the masses on the rights of women
to vote and the necessity Of force in Par
lament to adopt a resolution on the ques-
tion. These womens demonstrations are
far more attractive from a spectacular
point of view than those held by men.
Almost all Of the suffragettes wore white
dresses with sashes of their color. green,
white and purple, inscribed, Vote for
Women" and the scene as viewed from the
platforms was quite a feast of color.
There was much good humored chatting
and the singing of songs in the vicinity
of the platforms and on this account the
speeches practically were inaudibe. The
attitude OF the onlookers was one of amused
tolerance.
Ambulances were kept busy dealing with
cases of fainting tand minor injuries, owing
to the great pressure of the crowds, but
no serious accidents. occurred.
