Your Own Business.

Your Own Business.
The other day a man travelling on q
shore line train noticed, protruding
from an overhead rack, dress suit
case which he recognized as belonging
to q friend. He knew that his friend
always got off at the station which
they had just passed, and as he was
not in the seat the conclusion was In
evitablc that he had jumped off the
train and forgotten it.
The man called the conductor and
explained the case to him. After some
discussion and mild protest On the
part Of the conductor that it wasn't q
part Of his duty, the suit case was put
of at the next station, with instruc-
lions to send it back on the first train
the other way.
The man, feeling that be had done
an able and friendly act, settled down
for the rest of his journey.
But not for long. The face OF his
friend. who had been in the smoker
and who happened on that particular
afternoon to be going on to New Lon.

before him.
The moral of this is, Of course, quite
evident.
Be sure you're right and then mno

Sucker Swallowed Diamond.

According to the Logansport
correspondent of the indianapolis
News Miss Marie A. Gross,
daughter Of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Gross Of Spear street, that city.
a student of the Heron Art In
stitute in indianapolis, lost a val
liable diamond ring: and its dis
appearance and return are re,
marhable.
She was a guest at the Hanly
cottage. at Pottawatomie Point.
on the Wabashriver east Of town,
and with some other girls attired
in bathing suits rowed to the mid
die Of the river to bathe. A friend
suggested that she remove the
diamond ring which she wore;
stating that it might slip off IN
the water. She removed the ring,
and having no other place to put
it she tied it to a piece Of fshline
and fastened the other end to the
boat. Then she jumped into the
water. When they rowed back
to shore, Miss Gross could find
neither string nor ring.
Yesterday while Frank Hanly
was out in the boat he saw a
string running through crack
in the rear board of the craft. He
began to draw in the string and
there was an answering tug. He

Republicans Are Progressing.

The news from Kansas is what we
expected. If it be confirmed later, Mr..
Bristow will have defeated Senator
Long by handsome majority In the
Republican primary held Saturday
to determine who shall succeed Mr..
Long at Washington. The Senator
was accused of being too friendly to
the railroads, and beside this there is
no crime of first magnitude in the
Kansas political decalogue. Mr.. Bris-
tow not only succeeded in making MS
charges against Senator Long and his
record in the Senate tell against him,
but has impressed his own vigorous
and honest personality upon the State.
Thus there will be in Washington
new ally for the radicals of the La
Toilette type, and the process of Re
publican party reorganization has
taken another step forward. The
death of Senator Allison foreshadows
a similar change in Iowa. 1t is a
radical, vigorous, cleaner Repub-
lican party that the Democrats will
have to face from now on, with the
West in more complete control than
heretofore. And from tanning the
railroads and curbing capital 1t will
move on, let us hope, to genuine tarih
reform.-N. Y. Evening Post.

Orioin of the Postal system.


The wonderful postal system, which
has reached out until it includes every
country on the face of the earth, had
it's beginning in the mind of an ingen-
ious Frenchman.
In 1868, early in the reign Of Louis
XIV, NJ. de Velayer established a pri-
vate penny post. Boxes were set up at
the street corners for the reception of
letters, and offices were opened in va,
rious quarters Of Paris. Collections
were made once a day from the street
boxes, followed many hours later by a
single delivery, and thus the first post
office in the world was established.
NJ. de Velayer was SO greatly encour,
aged by the success of his enterprise
that in order to develop it still further
he printed certain forms of billets OF
notes which were intended to cover al
the ordinary requirements of business
in great towns. These forms contained
blanks which were intended to be filled
up by the pen with such special matter
as might be necessary to complete tht
writer's object. The idea at once be
came popular, and the printed forms
accompanied the expansion of the post
al service throughout the larger cities
Of France, and it was many. years he

One Trust That Does As 1t Pleases.

The sale of $4,000 tons of steel rails
at $40 ton to Hartman railroad
in Mexico Is timely illustration OF
how the Dingley tariff works. In the
home market the price of steel rails
is still being maintained at $28. Rail-
roads which need material must come
to that figure or withhold their orders
until business looks up.
The ordinary merchant, when trade
falls off, reduces prices in order to
attract customers. This is his way OF
keeping his establishment running
while making the best of dull times
1t is no secret that the Steel Trust Is
badly in need of orders for steel rails
from the railroads, and that the
railroads, in the effort to econo-
mize, have deliberately deferred
new construction.
The reductions made recently on a
few minor products were adopted by
the Steel Trust only after an indepen-
dent concern had begun to undersell.
At all the recent conferences between
members of the steel rail pool the
Steel Trust has stood for keeping up
prices at any cost.
Charles M. Schwab testified before
the industrial Commission that steel
rails could be manufactured at a
profit for SIG. The Steel Trust is
actually selling them abroad for
$40. 1t refuses to sell them cheap
er than $2S at home, although 1t
would probably bring the railroads in
to the market by doing so, because the
Dingley tariff enables it to charge the
top price. The lesson should not be
lost on Congress when it undertakes
the revision of the tariff schedules
next year.-N. Y World

AN EASY WAY,

A New England physician who Is
fond Of raising poultry, but has little
time to devote to the work, has inaugu-
rated what is styled the ''easy method"
of raising chicks, wherein he feeds
them but twice a week. He has the
brooders SO arranged that the little fel
lows have access to grass and to fresh
water, charcoal and grits. The feed Is
the common chick feed. consisting Of
several kinds of grains, and is scattered
in layers of litter. from which the
chicks have to scratch it o.. This fur
nishes them needed exercise and is a
feature that they much enjoy. Exper-
tments conducted by this physician
with chicks Of the same breed hatched
at the same time. but having their feed
placed in boxes so that they could get
1t without digging for it, showed that
the youngsters which had to scratch
for their living We're not only stronger
and healthier than the others, but in
creased in weight from 90 to 25 per
cent faster. If the results Of this mans
experiments hold out in the practice of
others a good many folks will be going
into the poultry business who have
kept out of it heretofore because of the
frequency of the attention required il
caring for the growing chicks after the
usual manner

INDEPENDENTS FOR BRYAN.
Election of Taft Would Mean Disinte
grafton of the Republic.

A correspondent of the New York
Evening Post writes that paper as
follows;
Il have read with interest your
editorial tonight, why Independents
Favor Taft" May be permitted the
courtesy of your columns to state
briefly why one Independent, at least,
does not favor Taft?
First and foremost, / do not favor
Taft because he represents party
that has grown to be the most cor
rupt, unprincipled, recklessly extrav-
agant, and extensively arrogant in the
history of our country. I fail to see
how any rat,onal-mind man in the
approaching election can, in voting
for Mr.. Taft, separate him from his
party, and l am everlastingly against
Mr.. Taft because I am everlastlngly
against his party. But l am against
Mr.. Taft personally because polltl-
cally he has shown himself to be
neither manly nor politically honest.
Certainly no man of true self-respect
and courage would have surrendered
himself so completely, both In his
actions and utteranees, to the will OF
another as has Mr.. Taft to Theodore
Roosevelt. Certainly no honest man
would be willing to go before the
country in the position Mr.. Taft has
assumed on the tariff question.
Everybody with grain OF intell1-
gence understands what the Repub-
lican party's attitude toward the tariff
is. The Republican party is the hand
maiden and slave or the protected in
terests. Tariff revision, with the Re-
publican party, does not mean tar1f
reduction. 1t means tariff raising. In
trying to fool some of the people into
thinking otherwise, the party is
simply attempting an imposture, to
which Mr.. Taft is lending himself.
These are reasons sufficient for me to
be against Mr.. Taft.
But 1 am not only against Taft
am for Bryant am for Mr.. Bryan and
his party, because they are the only
effective force today that can be used
in the overthrow of the Republican
party and it's scheme of high protec-
ton, which has debauched our en-
tire political system. While I by no
means believe in all that Mr.. Bryan
and his party stand for, do most
firmly believe that the overthrow OF
the Republican party and high protec-
ton would far outweigh in value to
the country any possible harm that
Mr. Bryan and the Democrats could
do it. While on the other hand, the
further continuance in power Of the
Republican party debauching and
corrupting the people in renewed or
gieS of extravaganza and tariff explo-
itation, means, in my judgment at
least, a rapid stride toward the dis
integration of the republic.
