New Hampshire's Bluff.

Artemus Wards willingness to sac
rifice his wife's relations on the al
tar of his country was not more pa
thetically generous than New Hamp-
shire's readiness to revise downward
the tariff on wheat. Senator Calm
ger, a priest of the ~stand-pat hier-
archy, was in no wise abashed In pre-
senting a petition to this effect from
the wheat consumers of his state. Like
the Irish landlord who warned his
irate tenants that their murder of his
agent could not intimidate him, Sena-
tor Gallinger could say: "If you think
to ear me out of high tariffs for
New Hampshire products by slashing
Nebraska wheat you are much mis-
taken" AS for Nebraska and the
other wheat states, they welcome the
issue. The wheat tariff has never
yet held up the price of wheat till
after nothing was left but the fag end
of a crop, and that mostly in specula-
tors hands. If New Hampshire
thinks otherwise it is fortunate. 1t
may open the way to trade free wheat
for lower tariffs and lower prices on
the paper, lumber, leather, cotton
and wooden goods that New Hamp-
shire has to sell us.-Nebraska State

so Blaine said, read his speech in a
sing-song voice, and Blaine, who was
thinking of what he should say In
reply, did not pay particular attention
to it.
Blaine said also that he had been
so admirably looked after up to that
time by Devine that 1t never occurred
to him that he was likely to make a
fatal error in agreeing to what DR..
Burchard had to say, and he had not
heard the fatal expression of DR..
Burchard until Devine called his at.
tention to it in the newspapers.
"Of course, MI. Devine," Blaine
said, 1--WE know what I would have
said had that been called to my at.
tention."
Blaine's friends here say he always
attributed his defeat more to DR..
Burchard than to any other cause.

vXIASHINGTON-The National muse
W nm, which is being constructed at
a cost Of $4,000, 600, will be completed
within the next six months. 1t will
be occupied by both the National
museum and the Smithsonian institu-
ton.
The present museum building Is so
crowded that many of the most inter
esting collections that have been &C.
Quired by the government in recent
years cannot be exhibited.
Work on the new museum was start
ed about three years ago. The plans
were prepared by a firm of well-known
Washington architects.
Mr.. Marshall and w. H. Holmes, the
curator of the museum, spent months
in inspecting the celebrated museums
of Europe with a view to profiting by
the advantages of the foreign museum
buildings and avoiding the mistakes
of their construction.
The building is of white granite,
with a massive dome, somewhat SINH
lar to that of the Congressional IL
brary.

Democratic Senators Rebuked,

The senate voted to retain the
Dutch standard test of sugar, which
is wholly in the interest of the sugar
trust, and. to maintain the present
rates, thus giving the trust the pres
ent differential between the cost of
raw and that of refined sugar. The
duty on refined sugar is $40 a hun.
dred pounds and on raw 81. 1t was
proposed to make the former duty
$1.S2k. This would have reduced the
margin in favor of the trust from 80
cents to 82k cents a hundred pounds,
or by ~ cents. But the PROPOSE.
ton was defeated, only six insurgent
Republicans, including Senator Bever.
idge, voting for the reduction. The
two Democratic" senators from
Louisiana voted against both the pro-
posed amendments. The correspondent
of the Cincinnati Enquirer, with a
picturesqueness that is to be highly
commended, says:

I'D IB BILL" Taft went to the ma
ID with Dan Cupid in the White
House the other day and in Is min
utes had the little love god beaten to
a pulp. For IL minutes Dan gave the
big fellow a fair tussle, but then the
weight began to tell, and when the
bigger man got a toe hold in a bunch
of red tape it vas easy to pin the kids
shoulders to the floor.
Ole Maid, who refereed the bout,
slapped Taft on the shoulder and
called him a winner. There was little
cheering. A fine big stork which
acted as second for Dan few from the
arena. The last heard of her she was
loudly screaming for "Bwana Tumbo,"
or some other seaport.
Dan may-get we'll, but he'll never
look the same. 1t is feared that he is
injured somewhere near the ambition
to shoot at soldier and sailor but
tons. This has long been his favorite
cunning and the blow given him by
President Taft may ruin what was
otherwise a likely looking boys. 3u-

Secretary Roots Bad Start.

Despite his great abilities and hts
unique prestige, Senator Root has
made a bad start in the senate. Il was
not becoming that a man who had
never before Sat in a legislative body
should have presumed to lecture men
grown gray in legislative activities
upon the proprieties and duties of
senatorial service. 1t Is never be-
coming in any man at the beginning
of any career to pose as an expert and
lay down the law to others older in
service than himself. In overlooking
this rule, in presuming to help the
senate to better methods and man
ners, Mr.. Root has suffered a serious
humiliation, and in truth something
of a setback in his senatorial status.
If Mr.. Root Is the man he is thought
to be, he will learn something from
his experience and in the end will be
no loser by it. But he will have to
move cautiously. Anything like al
exhibition of resentment, with q fur
Their effort to ssume the character of

for all men, great or small, the policy
OF modesty is always the best policy.

TOLL OF ALL
WESTERN STATES PAY TRIBUTE
TO NEW ENGLAND.
Tariff Bill 10 Being Framed for the
Special Benefit iofsa Handful OF
Trust Magnates Who Con-
troll Legislation.

Recent doings in the senate add an.
other instance of the Jealous care
with which Senator Aldrich protects
New England mill. bosses.is
The. Payne bill raised the tariff on
hosiery. Mr.. Aldrich restores the
Dingley rate. Then, by way of re-
ward, he jumps the tariff on cotton
gloves to a point where his mill boss
friends can monopolize u entire cot
ton glove trade.
New Jersey and Delaware sit at the
gate of industrialism and take toll.
These toll states levy tribute on the
whole republic by granting charters
to predatory trusts.
Rhode Island-another pocket edi-
ton of a state-also makes, a special
ty of industrial piracy. Rhode Island
numbers within it's little borders a
goodly proportion of New England's
privilege grabbers. And Rhode Island
has also the distinction of giving the
trusts their legislative captain, Nelson
w. Aldrich of the national senate.
Why should a handful of trust mag
mates control the highest legislative
body in the United States?
Simply because they have a general
who understands selfish human ma
ture. Aldrich takes his orders from
the trusts and proceeds to execute
them with the skill born of long ex-
perience. He knows his quarry.
When western senators become too
o~bstreperous in resisting Aldrich's
manipulations of tariff schedules to
suit eastern trusts, he merely threat.
ems them with reprisals on agricul-
tural products. When southern Dem
ocratic senators threaten to take seri-
ously their party's pledge for lower
tariff duties Aldrich brings them into
line by threatening free raw materials
for the manufacturers of their respec-
tive states.
And SO the farce goes on-always
to the ultimate advantage of the little
group Of New England manufacturers
who have commissioned Aldrich to
frame the tariff bill for their special
benefit. The tail wags the dog and
the convention pledges of the Repub-
lican party for downward revision
are laughed to scorn.
The parasite states are about to take
fresh toll from the nation.-Chicago

BURDEN FALLS ON THE POOR
System Of Federal Taxation Enables
the Wealthy to Escape Paying
Their Just Share.

TO the Worlds demand that con.
gress shall reduce the cost of living;
tax wealth, not poverty, the Troy
Press objects:
"Of course the outcry to tax wealth,
not poverty Is cheap demagogy,Sf or
here wealth Is taxed proportionately.
The law reads in effect that a million
dollars worth be assessed. for that
amount, whether 1t is owned by one,
a dozen, or a: thousand individuals.
This is common sense; just. taxation"
Only In the case. of. real. estate is
1t even approximately true that
wealth is taxed proportionately. The
personal property of very rich men
almost entirely escapes taxation. Fran
'chise values are taxed in New York.
for years their owners have fought
off payments.
These remarks apply only to state
and local taxation. Federal taxation,
instead of proportionately %burdening
the rich, Is laid almost. entirely upon
consumption; and it is so levied as
to fall most heavily upon the cheapest
grades of articles most commonly con-
sumed. Poor men must have food,
clothes and shelter for themselves and
their children, who are more numer-
Gus thai the children of the rich; and
these things r heavily taxed.
The result is a higher average cost
of living for people of moderate mean
than obtains in any other country,
and in ironic recompense therefor a
great group of tariff-made millionaires
whose vast wealth, whose extrava-
gance and whose follies in the second
and third geenration are the wonder
and sometimes the scandal of the
world.
II wealth really were taxed in pro-
portion, this country would be an
even better one to live in.-New York

Two Kinds of Salads,

This is the first rule to be learned,
in the matter of salads, that they are
OF two kinds. There is the light.
tasty salad served between the heavy
course of meat or game and the des.
sert. Or, when game is not served,
and the meat course is light, a heavy
substantial salad will often take the
place of either or both. and is a diff
ferent dish entirely from the simple
lettuce or fruit with a plain French
dressing.
For the light salads make the
French dressing Of oil and vinegar,
varied with other condiments to taste.
For ordinary tastes, salt and pepper Is
enough. Rub the interior of the bowl
with an onion If the flavor Is liked.
Watercress Is a happy medium for
salad. but with this oil should not be
used. There is no reason for this,
