There is something humorous in
the reports that are being printed
from time to time about "power-
full" speeches by Beveridge and
others in Congress on the subject
of revision of the tariff. The most
powerful and eloquent speeches in
the world couldn't have the result
of taking per cent. off any sched-
ule in the tariff law unless Old
Man Joe Cannon, of Illinois,
agreed TO the proposition. Speak
er Cannon is not a spellbinder,
nor is he subject to being SPELL
bound. He plays politics from the
cellar to the garrett, every day and
every minute. When he can be
shown how it will benefit the Re.
publican party to take up tariff
revision, then, and not until then,
will it be taken up.-Sav. News.

Several of the big Northern rail-
road systems have dropped or are
preparing to drop their special
fast and luxurious express trains,
for the reason that they are not
permitted to charge extra fares on
them. The trains were very ex-
pensive, and many persons were
willing to pay few dollars extra
for their speed and luxury. but
the lawmakers have said that a
man who is willing to pay extra
for extra service shall not be per-
mitted to do SO, and that settles
it.

A pathetic story from New York
tells of how paper hanger of the
name of Sackman, aged twenty
six, with a wife and year-old baby,
tramped the streets three months
in an unsuccessful search for work
and how in direst poverty they
starved to death IN their miserable
room. In the richest city in Amer
lea, where idle young men spend
enough for bouquet to buy food
sufficient to last three persons a
week, a young man willing to work
and his wife and baby die in the
agonies of cold and starvation?
New York is great and rich and
beautiful, but it contains more of
misery than any other city on the
continent.

A Connecticut postmaster saved
his safe from being blown up and
the building possibly burned by
placing a sign on the safe: "This
safe is not locked; please dom
blow it open" Three successive
blow-ups, with the result of the
building being burned twice with
in the past five years, was the
cause of the postmaster's action.
The burglars needed his instruc-
tions, leaving the safe and build
ing unframed. Pretty honest
burglars after all.

Food and Human Energy.

For the matter of five years or more
there has been constant tendency IN
this country TO declare that men now
adays eat ovcrmuch and Sir James
Crichton- Browne, distinguished au-
thority among physicians in the Eng
lsh speaking world. Is out with a pro
test against the limitations of diet
which has attracted particular atten-
tioa here IN America. DR.. Crichton-
Browne believes that the abstemious-
ness in diet advised by certain of his
medical brethren In recent years, more
particularly abstinence from certain
kinds of food 10 the degree often rec
commended, Is not only unwtse, but pos
itively dangerous.
The reason given by this English au-
thority In dietetics for his present en-
phatlc protest is that the decrease OF
nutrimcnt VIII undoubtedly impair the
efficiency, physical and mental, Of the
Individual He does not hesitate 10
affirm that the vitality and construc-
may almost lie measured IN direct ra-
TO to the animal food which enters
into their diet. Meat eating peasants
are said to make the best soldiers, and
In recent years the men in active mil
itary service arc better nourished than
the classes at homo from which they
are drawn, measures believed TO be
necessary IN order 10 keep the army
up 10 the standard Of efficiency.
WIS., physicians realize that the
quantity and the quality Of food re-
quirel to keep the human being at
work is largely an individual matter,
1t is with food very much as It is with
sleep. Some men require more than
their fellows. We are engines OF ac-
tivity with appointed tasks, and our
necessities for fuel and repairs vary
according to our individual structure
and the work In hand.

Novice. In or On the Water.

The season has added heavily to the
record Of drownings, accidents pecul-
iArly tragic and distressing, because
they are usually met with In search OF
health or pleasure under apparently
safe conditions. The mere thought Of
a bath or a swim or a sail Is so cheer
ing that II seems cruel To poison the
spirits Of the vcnturers with hints of
danger. And really where millions
