TAFT'S SPEAKING TOUR,

Tafts announcement that he is go
ing to enter Indiana in a speaking tour
will liven things up bit. Everybody
wants to see and hear Taft and it will
do Taft good. Taft is not a man,
who as James Whitcomb Riley says,
"sets his mouth to talking and goes
off together" His utterance is care
full, thoughtful and modest. He is not
a speaker of the oratorical contest
type. His manner is simple and d.
rect. His words are so evidently sim
cere and just that they carry convic-
ton rather than uproariouS enthus-
iasm. And so it is that a speaking
tour will do good for the Republican
cause and for Taft This is a year
when logic rather than fireworks will
do the business.
A man may go and hear Bryan, and
say "Golly. that man certainly can
talk" The same man will hear Taft
and say, That man is right" That's
the difference.
1t will not be an unprecedented
thing for candidates to come to this
state. The porch" campaign is not
the rule. We have had Henry Clay in
this very town in 1914. James Blaine

SEND YOUR BOY TO SCHOOL.

Public school opens next Monday
many colleges and technical schools
are about to open. Are you going to
send your boy to school
There never was time in the his
tory of this country when education
was SO general-nor a time when edu-
cation was such a factor in the worlds
produce. The time is now here when
to face the struggle a man must be
thoroughly equipped. Education
without experience will not go far flor
experience means the application of
things learned. But education
experience is always at the top.
education may not have been obi,
in schools, but it was education. TL>i-
is no easier way to be educated than
to go to school. Everybody knows
that. 1t is not the fault of the institu-
tions that ill educated men are turned
out-the fault lies with the Individual
Therefore the man who wants to be
educated must do the work, but he can
do the work easier in school. Send
your boy to school.
After all the man who gets some
thing out of life beside money is the
man who lives, and although individ-
ual fortunes are larger today we are
for that very reason coming to per-
ceive that money is not all.
There is many man who has been
success in life without schooling
but we applaud him for succeeding in
spite of it. Do you want your boy
under a handicap? There are enough
handicaps in modern life and heredity
without adding the handicap of a poor
educational environment. Abraham
Lincoln did not receive his education
in school. Does any one think that
Abraham Lincoln would not have prof
tied by an education in school. Abra-
ham Lincoln had no opportunity to
go to school-he surmounted it. Most
people don't.
There is no denying the fact that
there is much unnecessary lumber
and much foolishness connected with
our educational institutions. Is that
any reason for denying the good and
condemning the whole thing.
Modern life is getting more and
more specialized-modern life demands
education. Is your boy getting it? Is
your boy ahead of your own generation
if not he will fall behind. Send your
boy to school

Hoards in Bank of France,

Week by week the influx of gold
continues. This weeks report shows
the gold holdings Of the Bank of
France to be $94,00O,OOO above what
they were a year ago, and $40, ,000, 900
above the highest figure ever reached
by them prior to 1908. OF the gold i'm
ported by Paris from the 18th to the
Gath of September, 14,S74,000 francs
went into the Bank of France. Yet in
the face of this movement all recent
bank balances show the continued fall
ing off in commercial discounts and in
bank advances or loans on securities
So far the gold arrivals have certainly
not lessened the apparent demand for
gold. The Bank of France and the
other banks, in a measure, are SEEM
ingly boarding gold against future
needs. Some say that this is the les.
son they have learned from the none.

France Fears the TrombIon.

Every traveller knows that there are
certain restrictions upon the introduc-
ton of arms into foreign countries.
Among the weapons which it is for
bidden to take into France is the
"tromblon," which is expressly men
toned in the Bengal code as a weapon
the carrying and sale of which is not
allowed. And yet the "tromblon" is
not a tirearm which is commonly used
nowadays, for it is nothing else than
the blunderbuss, a weapon which old
caricatures show to have been car
ried by the guards of coaches as a
protection against highwaymen and
to have been hung over his fireplace
by John Bull at the time of the scare
of a Napoleonic invasion 100 years
ago. The blunderbuss had a flint
lock, short barrel, and a muzzla
like a trumpet, the bell mouth be-
ing designed to scatter the slugs
with which the primitive piece was
charged. Anyone who buys one at an
old curiosity shop had better take
care how he introduces it into France,
for the penalty for doing so is fine
of 200 francs.

Good Influence of Matrlmonx.

SOOu lUlluCVCG OI
Statistics seem to show that crime
is less frequent among married men
than among those enjoying bachelor
existence. Close observation shows
that property rights are more general
ly respected by the married than the
single. The married man does not
commit the graver offenses against
property, such as robbery and fraud,
so much as the less dangerous crimes,
such as receiving stolen goods, break
ing the laws of trade, and fraudulent
bankruptcy. Men who are married at
an early age-from Is to 25-offend
against property more often than the
unmarried of the same age, and mar
ried men who are older This is prob
ably explained by the pressure Of fam
lily expenses. Offenses against morali-
ty are far more common among un-
married men-a fact that was to be
expected. Offenses against human
life are more frequent among the un-
married, though the disproportion is
not so great as in the matter of rights
of property. 1t is interesting to note,
says the New York Weekly, that the
criminality Of widowers decreases with
advancing years, although this is prob
ably true of all men, Widowers, how
ever contribute a greater share of
crime between the ages of 80 and so
than either of the other classes. This
may be an argument either for or
against marriage, according TO the
point of view. The longer man is mar
ried, the more law-abiding he becomes.
This may be accounted for not only
by the benign influence of matrimony,
but also by the fact that the burden
of married life incident to the larger
birth rate at that time and the finan-
Cial straits of the parents is greater in
the early years than it is later. This
is indicated by the fact that the rate
of offenses against property falls off
rapidly with advancing years among
the married.

SPOILED BY A COOK
CHRISTMAS EXPERIENCE IN A
WoMEN's BOARDING HOUSE.
How Famished TabIeful Had to Wait
for Their Turkey Until the Bel
Iigerent Female Could Be
Coaxed from the Room.

MY most unpleasant and yet most
cOmical experience of Christmas-keep-
ing" said the concert singer, dates
back to the time when | lived for
ecOnOmys sake in home for working
women. The cook we had was a good
one, and so, when Christmas day came,
we all felt assured that at one o'clock
we should have our orthodox turkey
ndpmm-pudding dinner.
But one bottle of whisky, SNUG.
gled into Christian kitchen, will up
set the expectations of so hungry
boarders. Just how many drinks the
cook had that morning, l cannot say,
but when dinner time came she was
belligerently drunk. The turkey was
as we'll roasted as though she had
been sober, but what was that to the
boarders in general, when she stood
over it, carving knife in hand, declar.
ing that not soul in that dining-roo
should have a mouthful of it but
mamma and myself?
"Vainly did the matron threaten and
entreat. The determined cook was not
to be disarmed Mamma and | were
bOuntifully helped but the others sat
and waited, wondering what would be
the outcome of the trouble. Finally,
the defeated matron came out of the
kitchen, and with tears in her voice,
said to NE:
can do nothing with her. VIII
you go in and see what you can do?'
And so | went in, and in my most
affable manner invited intoxicated
Bridget to sit down and have a friend
ly cup of tea with myself. She COM
piled, though with an eye still on the
turkey. After we had had our tea, by
eXerting all of my arts and wiles | per.
suaded her to go up stairs and to bed.
1t was not until she was safely out of
the kitchen that dinner was served to
the other boarders.
"Of course the next day there was a
bad quarter of an hour for that cook,
one that ended with her getting her
duds together and skipping Many,
in fact, all of us, were ready to plead
for her, Knowing that she could not
easily be replaced; but the matron
was adamant, protesting that in her
experience with the creature she had
already forgiven her until seventy
times seven. arH she wasn't going to
forgive her again. And heard after
ward that it was really year or
more before the woman was taken
back again into that kitchen.

other boarders. who. you may be sure

l, too, see that painting and sculp-
ture are gymnastics of the eye, it's
training to the niceties and curiosi-
ties of its function. There is no statue
like this living man, with his infinite
advantage over all ideal sculpture,

of art have | here! No mannerist
made these varied groups and diverse
original single figures. Here is the
artist himself improvising, grim and
glad, at his block. Now one thought
strikes him, now another, and with
each moment he alters the whole air,

PRopIrIA1E THE GODS IN INDIA.
Religious Rites Required Throughout
the Entire Season.

Agricultural practice in southern
ligious rites, says the Madras Mail.
In the Tamil districts the agri-
cultural year commences about April.
On April 23 the cultivators of a viii
lage consult 'valluvan," who fixes
for them the kind of wood that they
should cut and take away. He is sup
posed to settle the question as the
result of astrological observations
made on the commencement of the
Tamil New Years day, which falls
about April 49, Each cultivator then
takes little camphor, some incense,
a few plantains and a cOcoanut, and
with others assembled for the purpose
he proceeds to the forests, where he
wOrships the tree he is about to cut,
offering the planta;ns and the cocoa
nut. Then he lops off the first branch,
taking good care that it falls on the
right side. In each year the side is
different. Prosperity TO himself and
his cattle is firmly believed to depend
very uuCu upon llllS. he lIlSu CulS
away the required quantity of wood
and takes it home.
Another day is then selected, soon
after the early rains of the same
month, by the ''vulluvan," and then
the greatest event of the agricultural
year occurs. Each ryot takes the
wood he has selected for the plow,
which is newly fitted up and taken to
the field, where the bullocks are tied
to it, and behind it stand other plows
with teams of oxen tied to them,
while large crowds assemble around
the teams.
The principal plowman then daubs
the pair of oxen tied to the new plow
with aniline powder and turmeric
paste; he lights camphor and burns
incense before it, breaks a cocoanut,
and with it he makes an offering of
a pot of jaggery water and parched
grain and Bengal gram. Then he
drives the plow across the field, pre-
ceded by the other plowmen, and after
a few rounds the oxen are unyoked
and the offering distributed to those
present.

In the future, more than in the past,
American industries will have to rely
upon the especially developed and in
structed ability of American working
men, including the superintendent
and highest managers of industrial es-
Establishments. Natural resources. de-
clares the Cleveland Leader will play
a less important part than in the past.
The most formidable competition of
the coming years will be encountered
from Germany and other countries
where technical education is most ad-
Vanced, and this country will need
workers similarly trained to meet it.
