cording to season, Summer Gum" OF
Winter Gum" The former is much
the harder Of the two and was devised
some years ago to keep the stamps
from getting sticky in warm. moist
weather.
While Uncle Sam tries to make the
lot of the stamp Ticker as i%nnocuous
as possible, he does no advise making
a meal OF his sweet potato gum. The
whole process of gum making and ap
plying is made as clean as possible
but there is yet another item to be
considered.

Extraxauance Of Canaress.

In opposing the presidents PROPOSE
ton for four more battloships in the
present session of congress R%epresen'
tative Tawney of Minnesota said that

and we are spending s2,eS3,e0e more
than France, with her army Of $4,000
men and her navy Of $4,000" These
are portentous words for the Repub'
lican party, which is IN control OF all
branches Of the government. The
man who uttered them is chairman
OF the house appropriations commit
tee and n of the Republican leaders
OF that chamber. Moreover, the ap'
propriations for the army and navy
which he denounced thus when they
were before the house have been in
creased since that time. They are
larger than in any year except during
the civil war and the Spanish war
periods. This immense outlay in time
of profound peace is, considering the
relatively diminutive size of our army
and navy, discreditable to the Repub-
Lean party, and may prove dangerous
to it.-Leslie's Weekly.

w ASHINGTON.-Every man on the
w streets here on June IL wore a
tag by a string from his buttonhole. 1t
was a plain cardboard tag such as the
express companies use, and 1t did not
add to the appearance of ones dress,
but it saved money and a holdup to
wear it. June 13 was tag day in
Washington. Tag day was a device
to squeeze dimes and quarters out OF
every pedestrian for the benefit Of a
castoff children's playground. 1t was
a pretty NEAR man who would not
hand out a dime at least once for a
tag. 1t was an excessively heightened
or reckless one who would not wear it.
No dime, no tag. No tag, no peace.
The holdup of wearers Of untagged
coats occurred every rs feet. Some
thing like $1,000 was realized as q re-
suit of the "holdups" for the play
ground.
Children peddled the tags in all
parts of the city, and no man escaped.
There were store tags, house tags,
automobile tags, cab tags and personal
tags and a ~five-dollar tag that made
the owner immune from attack in all
quarters. The store tag cost a dollar,
likewise the house tag. Every woman
was held up in every store, and 1t cost

RETURN TO WILDCAT CURRENCY.
Vicious Features Contained In Bill
Passed by the Republicans.

The Republican arty as represent
ed in congress has passed a currency
bill that will eventually plague them.
All the Democrats and ID Republic
ans voted against 1t In the house, and
Senator La Toilette tried to talk 1t to
death in the senate, where four Re-
publican senators also voted against
1t. 1t must be a very bad bill that
would force such a large number OF
Republicans to bolt their party on the
eve of a national election. 1t Is q
great victory for the Rockefeller in
which was in the original Aldrich bill
the issue of currency with railroad
and other bonds as security-by indi-
vidual banks will give the National
City bank control of millions to fur
Their rig the stock market. Such
bonds are to be accepted at 80 per
cent. of their market value, and we
may be sure that the price of such
bonds will be boosted accordingly,
whatever their real value may be.
The asset, or wildcat currency
scheme Of the bill, is intended as a
sop to the asset school of finance, and
commercial paper is to be accepted as
security for currency at Is per cent.
Of it's face value. The attempt to
make the bill popular by the require
ment that the BANKS pay one per cent.
on government deposits is made harm
less to the big banks which are gov
eminent depositaries for they are not
required to pay ever this small inter-
est rate.
How vicious the bill is will take
time to develop, for even the experts
Of the United States treasury do not
yet know it's full powers. The New
York banks are organizing to be ready
to issue currency under its provisions,
and from their haste to do so, there
Is fear that a recurrence of the panic
is possible. 1t must be remembered
that the United States treasury will
be in no condition to assist the banks
when the annual squeeze for money
comes this fall. What a financial
mess the Republican party has pro-
duced by it's tinkering methods.

T. VERY time a person ticks a United
l. States postage stamp he gets a taste
OF sweet potato. The gum with which
the stamps are backed is made from
that succulent vegetable because Un-
Gle Sans ~lieutenants consider it the
most harmless preparation of the sort.
All of the gum used on American
postage stamps is, mixed by the gov
eminent at tho bureau Of engraving
and printing. where the stamps are
made. 1t is spread on the sheets after
the stamps have been printed.
The gum, in a liquid form, is forced
up through pipes from the basement,
where it is made. These pipes Lead to
a series of machines consisting of roll
ers, between which the sheets OF
stamps are fed. one at at time.
A continuous fine stream Of the
liquid gum falls upon one Of these
rollers. The sheet with its wet coat

her a dollar to continue her round OF
shopping without further solicitation,
President Roosevelt came across
for a ive-dollar tag that allowed him
to take his customary drive on horse
back without being held up at the
bridge. Attorney General Bonaparte
was tagged twice. A beautiful young
woman held him boldly In front OF the
White House Friday, which was a day
in advance of official time for the free,
booting. He dug up a round dollar
cheerfully and said it was worth 1t.
But he forgot the tag when he saun-
tered out Saturday, and he had to shell
out again.
Young Quentin Roosevelt made q
street record. He stood in front of his
schoolhouse and took $500 in an hour
peddling %ten-cent tags. Then he moved
down to the Mall before the White
House, where he suspected money
would come in bigger pieces, but he
was dashed to the mast there In no
time after two automobiles drove up
filled with daintily clad girls, who
piled out and worked the thoroughfare
and White House grounds to a finish.
The girls then ventured into the Sa-
cred precincts Of the White House and
sought Mr.. Loeb, but could not find
him. Learning that he. like the pres
ident, was exempt, under the rules of
the game, they left, by virtue of the
five-dollar tag, complimentary tags for
both just for luck.
Next the bevy of young beauty as
sailed the Riggs National bank and

Negroes May Defeat Taft.

In view of Senator Foraker's appeal
to the negro voters to oppose Roose'
welt and Taft In the campaign Of 1908
and the manifest inclination OF the
negroes to act In accordance with
Foraker's advice, the Providence Jour
nal gives some interesting statistics
relating to the distribution Of the
negro population of American cities,
From this 1t appears that Mound City
ILL.,, has the largest percentage OF
negroes in it's population of any other
city, the percentage In 1900 being 43
In some other cities it Is very large
as shown by the following table:
Cairo, H., 40 per cent; Washington
D. c., 81 per cent; New Orleans, La.
81 per cent: Atlantic City, N. j., 23.5
per cent; Baltimore, Md, Is per cent;
Evansville, Ind, Is per cent; Indian
apolis Ind, 9.5 per cent; Columbus
O., 6.5 per cent; st. Louis, No., 6 per
cent; Philadelphia, Pa, 5 per cent;
Pittsburg. Pa, As per cent; Cincin'
natl, O., IS per cent; New York, N
Y, 2 per cent; Boston, Mass, 2 pei
cent; Chicago, H., 2 per cent; Cleve
land, O., Is per cent; Detroit, Micl
Is per cent
The number of negroes in Baltimore
is 79,0u0; in Philadelphia, $4,000; in
New York, so, 900; in st. Louis, $4,000;
in Chicago, 30,150; in Pittsburg. 70,
355; in Cincinnati, $4,000: in Boston
1900.
Evidently the negroes. led by Fora
ker, will be an important factor In the
coming election. If half of them vote
against Taft, he will be defeated q
the polls in November.
