The Presidents Travel Talks.

| Will the President talk tariff on his
western trip? Why not, If the people want
to hear from him on that subject. There
Will be a good deal else for him to talk
about. The crops will afford one topic.
| The currency problem is ripening, and
word or two on the subject of trusts and
corporations would not fcrestall the an
nual message to Congress.
| But IL the people are more interested
| In the new tariff law than In other
things the President is too candid and
| too shrewd a man to attempt to balk
them. By showing fear Of the tariff
he would invite heckfing on the. ques-
ton. Interruptions would certainly oc-
cur-polite enough, but pointed enough
to carry their meaning and force a re-
ply.
And It is worth while remembering
tina. the President in discussion shows
the courage Of his convictions and Of
his record. Some curiosity existed for
while last year as to how as a candf-
date he would meet on the stump the rec
ord he had made as judge on the labor
question. To the average politician the
record looked dangerous. Would he seek
to evade 1T. OF. taking it up. treat It
gingerly:
He did neither. He took it up without
hesitation, and discussed it without apol-
osy or Fecantatfon. He asked the at
tention particularly Of labor, and, after
explaining his decisions, said very frank
~, but without bravado, that in the same
circumstances he would render them
again. The result was creditable to labor
and reward for him. Labor, better in
formed than before about the matter at
ISSUE, revised an earlier adverse judg
ment and gave him great many votes.
He surprised many politicians, and disap-
pointed all of his opponents.
As to the new tariff, the law is not
what the President would have drawn
with the situation fully IN his hands.
Nor. for that matter, Is It what either
! the Aldrich OF the cunmins people de-
sired. It is a compromise. where COM
promise or no new law was the choice.
| The President was fully advised of mat
| tiers when he affixed his signature to the
| measure.
II. therefore, the people Of the west want
/ to hear a word or two from him on this
| coming trip in explanation of his course
| and of where, in his opinion. the new law
leaves the tariff question, they have only
to signify their wishes. The President
| does not run away from topics OF records
at any rate, from his own records. He
might have shouldered his way to the
| front at the beginning of the extra ses-
sion and held tariff bill as a club over
| Congress. Or he might have vetoed the
| bill that Congress sent to him. He did
! neither; but what he did he is willing to
! stand for.

Costly Folly Of Hazing.
From the New Fork Nail

When the seven cadets who have been
dismissed from the Military Academy for
hazing sit down to count the cost Of their
folly they will undoubtedly agree that
the game was not worth the candle. It
has not only cut them off from an honor
able career Astounding in opportunities for
distinction, but, as viewed from the mar
rover point of self-interest, it has taken
from them the assurance Of a competence

The parting pang
And think of paths

The song Of birds

my mother, since her early child
hood, wal on inveterate coffee drinker,
had been troubled with her heart for a
number of years and complained OF
that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago I was making an off,
cial visit to a distant part of the coun-
try and took dinner with n of the
merchants of the place. ! noticed a
somewhat peculiar favour of the COT
fee, and asked him concerning 1t. He
replied that 1t was Postum.

the meal was over, | bought a package
to carry home with me-, and had wife
prepare some for the next meal. The
whole family were SO we'll pleased
with it, that we discontinued coffee
and used Postum entirely.
II had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt so
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not SO frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest of US.
