PRINTING INDUSTRY,
Holds Seventh Place Among Our
Manufactures.
THE TARIFF AND NEWSPAPERS

Oppressive Dingley Duty Straneling
an important Business-Herman Rid
der Writes on the Contest For Free
Paper.
The publishing and printing industry
holds the seventh place among the
manufacturing industries in the United
States, representing an annual product
of over one-half billion dollars. This
important industry is being stranGled
by the oppressive duties of the Dingley
tariff upon the one article indispensa-
BILE to its production, print paper, ana
on wood pulp, which is used in the
manufacture of paper. Yielding to
representations convincing him of the
detrimental effects of these duties.
President Roosevelt has in special
message to congress recommended
their repeal. What is the response of
the defenders of the protective tariff
in that body? AS voiced by the speak

This argument is disingenuous. as
can be clearly shown by the following
facts: The duty on print paper under
the Dingley tariff is not II per cent
ad valorem, but So per ton ON paper
valued at not above cents per pound
and s. per ton upon paper valued
above . cents per pound. At the time
of the enactment Of the Dingley law
print paper was sold at the mill at
$1.1J per hundred pounds aud in some

Would Your
Income Cease?

Does your income depend on youl
being at your post and attending to the
duties of your calling, occupation or
profession or in other words were you
to be so unfortunate as to receive an
accidental injury that would disable
you from one to SO weeks, would your
income continue just the same as be-
fore or should you have long siege OF
sickness, would your income cease dur
ing the time you were disabled? Is
your time worth anything to yourself
or family? If it is you should insure
against accidents and sickness. Per-
haps you know of friends or neighbors
who have had accidents or been sick
within the past twelve months. Count
them up and see if there are not more
who have lost from one or the other
cause than from having property burn

six accidents to one fire. I am prepar-
ed to insure you against loss on ac-
count Of either accidents or sickness

SURPRISE FOR A SPEEDER.-Montague
Roberts, the winner of the round-the-
world motor race, said Of speeding at
a banquet in New York, according TO
the New York Sun:
"A friend of mine was doing some
rather tall speeding one summer on
road that had a tollgate every five
miles or so.
my friend was in a great hurry
He was trying, on a heavy wager, to
break a record. Hence it angered him.
when he came to a closed gate, to see
the tollkeeper continue reading his pa
per and make no effort to let the car
through.
Nov, then, my man, hurry up and
open the gate shouted my friend
Are you asleep there?
You're No. 7OOO4B. amt YEP said
the gatekeeper, without rising from
his chair.
Yes, that's right. Hurry up.
"Oh. there's lot of time, said the
gatekeeper You amt due here yet
for IS minutes, accordin' to what the
last gatekeeper has just telephoned
me-"

OLD POLITICAL PHRASES.
Some of Those Revived During Recent
Campaign.


The recent campaign brought about
curious repetition of history in the
revival of two phrases which had a
very unpopular origin. One Of these
is MY policy" and the other is
Swinging round the circle" Both
phrases originated with President An
drew Johnson in 1866. During the last
few weeks President Roosevelt has
several times referred to MY policy"
as represented by his administration,
and has expressed the hope that the
people would provide for the contin-
uance of his policies by the election of
Mr.. Taft. Again, during the extended
speaking tours Of Mr.. Taft and Bryan,
the friends of both candidates have Oc-
casionally referred to them as Swing
ing round the circle"
The phrase my policy" originated
with and was frequently used by An
drew Johnson during his long and an
CRY struggle with congress preceding
his attempted impeachment. At that
critical period of the reconstruction of
the states there was a radical differ
ence of opinion between the majority
in congress and the president as to the
proper course to be pursued. They
locked horns and fought it out, and 1t
was an edifying fight. In August, 1866,
President Johnson started on trip
west. his objective point being Chica-
go, to attend the dedication of a monu-
ment to Stephen A. Douglas He was
accompanied by several members OF
his cabinet and by General Grant, Ad-
miral Farragut and David A. Gooding
Of Indiana, then United States marshal
of the District Of Columbia. The timer
airy took in Philadelphia, New York,
Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago. st. Louis,
Indianapolis and Louisville. During
the trip. Mr. Johnson made many
speeches. and in some Of them used
the expression, I'VE are swinging
round the circle"
He was very unpopular with Repub-
licans at the time and the later phrase.
like MY policy" became a laughing
stock and byword. That both phrases
should be revived now and used res
pectfully. without any taint Of their
unpopular origin, may be classed
among the curiosities of politics.

sport At last one of the fish jumped
short and landed atop of the turtle.
and that astonished creature, thus
rudely wakened from its day dreams,
dived, scattering the fish.
TObogganing is another popular sport.
Seals have been seen sliding down
cakes of ice, rolling over each other,
taking headers and generally behaving
like a crowd of schoOlbOys out on a
romp.
Offers have a variety Of games. They
build their homes on the banks of
streams like the duckbill Of New Zea-
land. with one opening leading to the
water and one to the land for ventila-
ton. They, too love to slide down
hills: and in winter they will select a
bank and pat it until it is smooth and
slippery. Then they will have grand
romp. In summer they select a hill
near the water. free it from grass and
weeds, and make a nice mud slide with
the water below, into which they splash
with apparently the same enjoyment
that fills the bosom of the man who
Shoots the chutes" at our summer
parks. Audubon was the first to watch
this game. Concealed in the bushes,
he observed the construction of twen-
ty-two slides.
The higher up the scale we come the
greater the variety of games and the
more there seems to be an element OF
real humor in them as distinct from the
mere physical delight of using the body.
An ape. for instance, is like a mischiev-
Gus boy, and many of us have watched
him push a bit of apple or bun through
the bars of his cage just within reach
of his neighbor and then withdraw it
'or the mere delight Of teasing. Stories
of the cleverness of monkeys are not
hard to believe; they look so like queer
little weazened men that even speech
would not be incredible from them. But
when it comes to the tales told Of the
Parasol ant of the West Indies one hes
itateS
These ants build cities as large in
proportion to their size as London is to
a single man." says a writer. They
are divided into classes, or castes-
the farmers. the laborers. the soldiers,
etc, being quite distinct. The most
curious of all is the fact that these
ants also keep as pets several varieties
of insects, which they feed and pro-
tect, and which APPARENTLY serve no
purpose save to give pleasure by their
playful gambols." In other words, they
are the pet kittens of these highly en-
dowed Parasol ants.-Kansas City

TIRED OF WAITING.-Any one who
has had TO wait any considerable
length of time in doctors public room
until the man of medicine was ready
TO receive him will appreciate an eX-
perience of Congressman Francis w.
Cushman of Washington state. 1t is
said the congressman some time ago
had occasion to visit one of the noted
physicians at the national capital, and
was compelled for many weary min
utes to cool his heels in an ante-roOm.
Finally. his patience becoming eX-
hausted, he summoned an attendant, to
whom he said:
Present my compliments TO the doc
tor, and tell him if am not admitted
in five minutes l shall get we'll again
The physician found it convenient to
admit Mr.. Cushman at once.

Cactus Leather a New Product

The recent discovery of new pro-
duct called cactus leather, was an ac-
cident, like great many other useful
discoveries.
There are almost a thousand species
Of cacti. a large number of which for
est the deserts of Arizona and some of
the states. and extend far into Mexico
The saguaro cactus, or Cereus gi-
ganteus, the largest growth of ALL
which towers sometimes to a height
of As feet or more. heretofore has
never been utilized for any purpose,
except that the fruit is sometimes
eaten by the Indians.
In Mexico the maguey plant is
largely used in the manufacture of
pulque, mescal, tequilla and aqua
miel, and the fibre for rope and mat
ting From the pulp of the leaves
paper is made.
Tuna, the fruit of the opuntia, is
relished by many.
The ocotillo has served usefully in
the construction of houses, or shacks,
and fences for the MeXicans and In
dians.
From the niggerhead cactus-echi-
nocactus wisliZenii-cactus candy is
made by softening the fibre by boiling
and filling the pores with sugar.
Other species of cacti have limited
uses.
In Tucson one day, while handling
piece of the echinocactuS wisliZenii,
the writer noticed, after the moisture
was pressed from the fibre, the great
strength and pliability it possessed,
says Frederic c. Wright in the Tech
nical World Magazine. When dry,
however. it became brittle and chalk
like. Experiments, in an effort to OBJ
tain strength and pliability in the fl
bre when dry, led to success after
about year of careful work.
It was discovered that the giant sa-
guaro was particularly adapted to the
manufacture of cactus leather and
leathery products.
The heart of the saguaro is pecul-
iarly formed, being a series of rods
or poles set i'm a circle. extending from
top to bottom of the cactus. and into
the earth in the form Of roots. This
heart of the cactus also proved of
great value in the manufacture of
many fancy articles. such as baskets,
canehOlders. boxes, picture frames,
veneerS and for numerous other pur-
poses too varied to mention.
When used in this way sufficient of
the fibre is left adhering to the rods
to bind them together in the form
desired. After tanning and drying
this fibre makes a tough. leathery
joint. which binds the sticks together
in the most secure manner

BIG TREES SAVED.
Their Destruction Would Be Consid
cred a DISGRACE to California.

Their Destruction Would Be consid-
cred a Disgrace to California.
while forest fires among the big
trees of California are to be regret
ted" said ]. A. Gayton, Of Santa Cruz,
Cal, to a Washington Post reporter,
Il do not think there is danger, as
some press reports intimate Of flames
threatening the determination OF
these Pharaohs of the forest. Fire
has destroyed great numbers of these
trees time and again-or, rather, has
burned among, but not always de-
stroyed them. In fact fire is rather
common among them. In the older
times the Indians used to set them
on fire; In latter days the fires have
been due to careless hunters. But
nature has guarded these great giants
with a remarkably thick bark which
protects them. The bark is some
times two feet thick.
II would consider it disgrace on
California if these wonderful trees
ever were allowed to become extinct.
do not consider such a thing even
remotely possible. Before / left San
ia Cruz there was a fire in the vicin-
ity of the Big Basin grove, miles
from us, but it was not especially
threatening The Santa Cruz grove,
miles from us, has not been disturb
ed for a long time. OF course, the
great trees are those in Mariposa
county, and, while there is compar-
atively small force Of men to guard
these, I do not think a fire is likely
to be widespread.
"a queer result that often attends
fires among these trees is that they
burn inside leaving the tree hollow,
but otherwise comparatively strong.
Such fires shoulder for days at a
time. But in general the big fellows,
as I said before, are well protected
by nature, and l think that with the
care now given them by state and
government they will increase
in number and grow larger, so that
in few hundred years there will be
some Of those giants which are known
to have existed in this country in
times gone by.

TURKS ARE HONEST.

by One Who Knows.

Constantinople to a Washington Her.
aid reporter, land sometimes l think

than my own kim"
Mr. Wortham is a young American,
who is engaged in the tobacco busi-
ness in the sultans domain, and is in
this country on visit.
How do 1 like Turkey? Fine; it's
a nice country to live in, and the peo-
pie are very nice. They have been
misrepresented by every European
nation for purely selfish reasons.
Their idea is simply to drive the Turk
out of Europe and grab his country.
They are trying to discredit him. and
that's the whole thing. The Turks
am talking now of the masses-are
honest, good, industrious people. The
Pashas and high officials are grafters
ani try to get the last drop Of blood
out of the lower classes.
The new regime, under the Young
Turkish party, will make many re-
forms in the empire, and if they are
given an opportunity they will succeed
in working out the salvation Of the
country The new parliament, which
was to have assembled on November
l, will convene December l, because,
il is claimed, that word had not reach
ed the distant districts of the forma-
ton of a parliament.
Although there will be small to-
bacco crop. the quality Of the weed
will be up to the standard. There has
been no rain for long time, and the
consequence will be a poor crop.
Yes, the Turks take an interest in
the presidential campaign. They even
seem to think that there should be a
change in the administration; in other
words, that Bryan should be elected. "
