Mr.. EdeIman of California was insstent

in the United States Senate in the
chair of its Presiding officer might
we'll tempt any man. The cold cal
culation that there is one chance in
three this man may be promoted by
law to the Presidency, or subse-
quently elected TO it, ought TO inn
press not only any citizen, but any
political party. The sure knowl-
edge that a wise choice viii add
measurably to the strength of the
ticket. and poor one add CORE
spondingly to it's burdens might be
expected to impress any party con-
vention, even if the other considera-
lions urged did not.
In certain proof that the poll
ticians viii be so impressed, that
the Office of Vice President viii
not go begging, it viii be noted
shortly IN two cities that men who
now laugh about the Office as ''goin'
beggin'" viii enter seriously on an
effort to i'll It, and that men who
now refuse to allow their names to
be considered will be glad TO accept
most graciously if they get the
chance. Neither the politicians nor
the people are inclined to confer a
vote in the Senate and open the
way to the Presidency by chance.

Another Victim.

Prof. Andrew McPhai1's address
before the IntercoIonial Club
showed that the United States is
not the only country suffering from
too much protection. When the
National Association of Manufac-
turers was in session in New York
a few weeks ago it heard from its
committee on the tariff that an
overcharge of not less than $1,000
100000 is made every year to con-
sumers in this country for the rea-
son that greedy private interests
had a hand in the making of the
so-called Dingley bill.
In Canada protection has also en-
abled private interests to feed at
the public crib. There, says DR..
McPhail, the interested class is
conducting itself in precisely the
same way as the interested class
among yourselves. They make our
laws"
But the United States, indeed, is
comparatively well off. Prof. Nc
Phan says that the cost of living IS
higher in Canada than in any other
civilized country in the world. He
quotes authorities TO prove that in
Toronto, for instance, the market
prices of ordinary commodities adj
vanced 67 per cent from 1897 to
1907. True, wages also increased,
but the increase on this side of the
scales existed only during a period
when work was steady.
Today employment is hard to Sc
cure and wages are low. Strikes
are now in progress in three impor-
tant trades, and the cost of living
is not decreasing very appreciably."
For thirty years the cry of the poll
ticians who speak for the special
interests is that Canada must pro-
tect its infant industries" But
the 'infants" refuse to be weaned.
1t is the same old story which our
own consumers on this side of the
border, and some of the manufac-
turers, are reciting. It is the same
old story which Congressman Payne
would have US believe is all poppy
cock.

Peary'S Plight.

So far substantial evidence of
public interest in the polar expedi-
ton which Peary is anxious to IN
dertake this year is lacking. This
is rather a surprising state of af-
fairs, in view of the extraordinary
fitness Of Peary for the work he has
mapped out, and also the handsome
support given by Americans in
times past TO comparatively insig-
niticant explorers.
The spectacle of the most distin-
guished Arctic explorer that ever
lived, the holder of the record for
approach TO the pole, hanging round
a dock waiting for the modest sum
needed 10 complete the Quitting of
his expedition is uncomplimentary
enough. But the failure of the ex-
petition. to start, which would in
volve the loss Of a precious oppor-
tunity and Of the money already
spent to gather a crew, would be
worse still
If Peary were a Norwegian or an
Englishman LIE would not now be
hopeful, but helpless" He would
probably be on his way with the
money in his pocket.

MilO-Then and Now.

The occupation of the lovely
Venus uamed for the Island of
Melos has been discovered. They
have found in Monemvasia, in the
prefecture of Lacedemonia, a terra
Gotta statuette which they believe
to have been modelled after the
Venus while it yet stood unbroken.
This miniature type of womankind
holds a mirror in that lost left
hand, while her right supports the
garment around her hips. So that
if we accept the small as reveal
ing the great-this discovery cOu-
pies purity and vanity to the lowell
ness which was already ours.
Well and good. Logical it all
seems and pretty, and not without
Its meaning. But suppose it were
Milo's granddaughter who were to
be carved in marble with a mirror,
what would we have? Consider:
In lieu of tresses gracefully and
simply drawn from a fine brow,
Merry Widow.
Instead Of a waist line not less
than twenty-six inches, an Ideal"
of eighteen.
In place Of a foot for a No. shoe,
set firmly and humanity on the
ground, a stump of No. 2, pegged
four inches above the pavement at
the heel.
This is all much to be Iamented.
But 1t Will not make Mere Man
waver IN his allegiance. On the con-
trary, if he should suddenly come
upon a modern Milo he would make
haste 10 join the crowd. not to
stare, of course. but taking coun-
sci with himself how long the Alien

fashions of 1908, and then TO put
the artists to fight by adapting

A Great Office.

Three considerations make it diff
fcult to understand the disposition
of certain politicians and news
papers to make little of the Vice
Presidency at this time.
The Office is, first, equipped with
great power, copfeTs upon the in
cumbent unquestioned dignity, and
intrusts the citizen elected not only
with membership in the upper
house of our Legislature, but with
the honor of presiding over its de-
alterations.
Second, in practically one case out
of three, since Washington, the citi-
zen elected Vice President has been
advanced TO the Presidency. Amer
lea has had, since the Sage of Mount
Vernon, twenty-five Presidents.
Eight of the twenty-five served first
as Vice Presidents-JOhn Adams.
Jefferson, Van Buren,. Tyler, Fill
more, johnson, Arthur, and Roose-
y, {.
In our own generation, finally,
four of the second men on the
Presidential tickets have proven
great forces for the party's advan-
tage at the polls-EngHsh, Logan,
Hendricks, and Roosevelt. Without
these men, the standard bearers
Hancock, Blaine, Cleveland, and Nc
Kinley-would have lacked effective
and recognized elements of
strength, unpleasant as it would
have been in at least two of the
four cases to admit it.

ARAB PATROL WINS

Are you feeling discontinued? Does It

That conditions grow more dismal as
each year drags TO its end?
Are YOU one Of those who sadly scent

Do you spend your days where trouble

And the wind IN reeds and rushes gent
