Policy Of Deceit.

The Republicans have made q spec.
tacular show of changing the old law
here and there, but in nearly every
essential item the return always is to
Dingley. In response to a great out
cry against the Payne increase of the
tax on such necessaries as gloves and
hosiery, the senate ~graciously pro-
poses to retain the highly protective
Dingley rates. Payne kept the Ding
ley rates on wines and liquors. The
senate appeals to a popular sentiment
by raising them. The proposed in
crease from So a dozen on champagne
to $500 will certainly cause no grum-
bling among the champagne makers
of New York state.

THE STORY.

COT HE good deeds of a great man
/ how they live to inspire the
lives of those who come after"
Thou hast we'll spoken, Lycius,
And what nation hath more to glory
in than Israeli"
Then why hast thou not spoken
of them before? Thou art rich in wis.
dom, and proverbs flow from thy lips
like water from the ripping spring"
The elder man sat silent and a
deep, faraway look came into his eyes,
and an expression of sadness settled
upon his face, but he made no reply
to the others query.
The two men were seated in a shad-
ed nook in one of those beautiful
grape arbors which centuries ago Gov
cred the hillsides of Judea. The
younger man had come on a long
journey that he might find and con
verse with Jesus, the nan of
proverbs, whose fame for the wisdom
of his words and the beautiful recti-
tude of his life had spread to his own
land.

exclaimed, "and would sit at his feet
and learn of him."
And having formed this resolve he
prepared for the journey, and having
babe his friends goodby, had started,
saying:
Il go seeking the truth. He who
speaketh such wisdom must be en-
dowed by the gods with an under
standing of the mysteries of life. I
would learn of him"
And so Lycius had come and had
found Jesus the son of Sirach as
gracious in manner as he vas in
words. And since the day of his COM
ing they had communed together con-
corning the deeper things of life, and
from his manuscripts Jesus had read
to his guest the treasures of thought
which he had cleaned through the
years. g e
On the particular day on which our
story opens they had been discussing
the uplifting and Transforming power
--of a lofty thought and Jesus had said
that a good life was a revelation of
the TRUTH And Lycius had followed
withsthe remark with which our story
opens. Z

great and good mon to lead and guide
and inspire her, and thou dost ask
why / have not spoken OF them be.

ness settled upon the face of Jesus,

We do not believe the country will
continue long to look with favor upon
these efforts to increase the power OF
The general government over private
business. There Is no doubt that
what we need is not a commissioner
of corporations, porting over the rec
ords of private business and inserting
his interfering figure wherever he sees
a chance, but laws, known to all men,
the violation of which can pretty gem
orally be punished without searching
the books of the companies for evf-

For Cheaper Raw Materials.

1t is a mistake to assume that
American consumers are the only
clamorers for lower duties in certain
tariff schedules. Manufacturers, CIV
ing allegiance to both political parties
have joined in the demand in order to
increase the export market.
Herein we have one of the main
reasons for lower duties on certain
raw materials in the Payne bill. Man
u~facturers, with market conditions at
their fingers ends, know that cheap
er raw materials will enable a furth-
er invasion of foreign markets.

Hard Drinker a Menace.

The drinker sometimes boasts OF
his ability to carry a large quantity
of t;auor. He is strong enough to
carry without staggering what would
make others ~dead-drunk. The fact
that he boasts Of such strength shows
that he is weak in wisdom. His boast
is his folly. While he is strong
enough to carry large quantities of
mixed drinks, he SO weakens his moral
stamina that he can Justify the
wicked for a reward" and so tempt OF
SANDER his neighbor as to take, away
his righteousness from him.. Such a
man becomes a walking c0htagion, q

Why Actors Wear Long Hair.

Why do actors so often wear long
hair? Perhaps this is the reason:
There once was a statute in England
under which actors found wandering
were liable to be branded through the
right ear. The long hair concealed
the decoration and thus the custom
was started.
