II, s.. Perkins In Chicago Tribune,
Mr. Bryan is reported as saying The
election Of 1908 is over. The returns dis
close a signal victory for our opponents
but the principles for which our party
stands. the policies for which our party
contends these are not dead Bryan
certainly has two optimistic bumps
one called hope and the other faith
Notwithstanding, methinks / hear
Judge Taft repeat this familiar phrase
There is a divinity that shapes our
ends,
Rough hew them as we may
And Commoner Bryan may fttingly say
There is a divinity that shapes our
ends rough,
Hew them as we may.

When you have a scratch on your

The best skin specialists today are
agreed that the only way to cure the
skin is through the skin.
The fact that eczema is a skin disease

statistics which show that nearly an

The Public and the Commission.

he PUBLIC ana the COMMISSION.
Milwaukee Free Press,
The opening tariff hearings before
the ways and means committee have
not been such as to inspire the conf
dence Of the public in that body as
promoter Of that kind Of tariff revision
which the American people demands
and to which the Republican party is
pledged.
The nature of the examinations, the
status of the witnesses, as well as the
reputation of the gentlemen who are
conducting the hearing, all lend an air
Of one-sidedness to the affair that to
some may appear wel-nigh farcical.
To solemnly place OH the stand a big
manufacturer, as solemnly ask him
whether the duty on his class Of goods
is too high, and as solemnly record his
reply that it is not Tin some instances
that it might be higher, may be pro-
ceeding highly satisfactory to the man
ufacturer and to the heads of the com
mission as a scientific method of revis-
ing the tariff schedules. But it doeSn t
strike the American people that way.
1t is well, however, to take the adj
vice of the Chicago Tribune and remain
calm. The hearings of the present
ways and means committee are merely
preliminary, and for that matter, this
is not the committee that will report to
the congress that will pass the new
tariff bill
If the present committee is so hide
bound in its standpat convictions as to
be deaf to the cry for real revision, has
so little regard for the party pledge
that it will merely go through form
of investigation and make little more
than surface changes in the schedules,
it will but defeat its own ends.
Outraged American sentiment would
so threaten the stability of the Repub-
lican party that changes in the commit
tee would be simply imperative to put
it in tune with the popular viii and we
believe Mr.. Taft has the ability and the
power to dictate that course in spite of
Cannon and his ilk. Then congress
could not possibly fail to do the rest
In the meanwhile the advice of pa
thence is good and well-timed Hasty
Iill-considered methods Of revision aim
ing only to please the popular fancy,
would be worse than slow conservative
procedure. Whatever changes are made
the interest of American labor and of
the American producer must not be
sacrificed.

Thomas Edison, the famous in
ventor, is recuperating from an
operation at his southern home in
Florida, and says most of our
serious diseases are caused from
overlooking the stomach. He
eschews meats and is combining
himself to vegetables and fish.
A very natural thing to do in
Florida at this season, when
vegetables have been scarce and
high priced beef rare in northern
stomachs, but after a few week S
he will crave for a change. He
will think like the man the doctor
told that he could live to be
100 years old by drinking sour
milk-he did not care to live that
long if he had to drink sour milk.

Congressmen do Some Work.

How many hours a day should
a man work? is a question which
is easier to ask than to answer.
There are laws fixing eight, or
nine, or ten hours as the length
of the working day, but those
who passed the laws do not limit
their hours of work by rule.
The houses of congress meet at
noon, and remain in session from
thirty minutes to five or six
hours; but before the presiding
officer takes his place and after
adjournment, senators and mem
bers are occupied with duties,
either in the committee room or
in their offices in consultation
with constituents. The fact that
Is, 900 bills were introduced in
the first three months of the
present session, and that all of
them must be considered by COM
mittees, gives a hint as to the
amount of work that must be done
in hours when congress is not in
session. The same rule of pro-
longed labor prevails in England.
Sir Henry Campbell annerman,
ex-premier, has broken down
under the strain, and at the age
of II finds it necessary to alb
stain from work for a time, if
not all together. His colleagues
are on duty-from fourteen to six
teen hours for five days Of the
week, when Parliament is in
session; that is, they are occupied
with public business in some
form during all their working
hours. The only limit on their
activity is the necessity to pre-
serve some degree Of health.

original methods of campaigning
won him the mayoralty of the

will canvass his state for gov

crowds from the basket he rides
in. AS he is worthy as we'll as
original, Wisconsin will get a
