Under the new ordinance pass
ed by the city council prohibiting
the holding Of street meetings with
out permission Of the mayor, per-
mits are being issued today to the

places bar in the way of meetings
of other character.
The ordinance Is simply an
amendment to an old one which
has been attacked on numerous
occasions and but a fe wmonths

OH, NO! WE
NEEDN'T BE EXPERTS


They say that the law is revision downward.
True, they say, enemies of society and other unde-
srabes will be able to twist the figures to make
that there have been reductions but only experts
unrave the mysteries of the schedules and the percen
tages.'
Oh no. One need not be expert to know exactly
whether the tariff bill is good or bad
The people of the United States complained for some
years that prices of necessities going up faster than
wages.
They complained that trusts were multiplying and in
creasng in power.
Both the republican and democratic parties promised if
elected to revise the tariff that this state of affairs
would be stopped
Now need not be experts to find out whether the
tariff bill fufis the promise.
Here is the simple test
If between now and 1912 wages go up faster than the
price Of shoes and stockings and bread and and
clothes and coathen the tariff has been revised down.
between and 1912 the trusts shrivel and poverty
decreases-then the tariff has been revised down.
If you have less left in your pay envelope after paying
the weeks bills then the tariff has been revised up.
labor forced by trusts and the cost of living
is higher and hgher-then the tariff has been revised up
And you don't need to be expert to study any
schedules before you your 10 year old daughter
tell whether you the other fellow got the best of this
tariff bill.
The pay envelope and the family expense account will
answer the question any day.

Brand of Protection

1t had always been the boast that protection for
American industry, and the campaign handbooks always
said that this meant for American workingmen

But the Aldrch Payne-Taft bill goes step further

American dollar against the pauper dollars Tor pounds

President Taft said in his statement:
''The republican party promised to make al
owance for the greater normal profit active invest
ments.'
So to be taxed to protect active investments

Down in New York the other day
woman was brought before a
magistrate on a charge of insanity.
She didn't look crazy.
After talking to her moment or
two, the judge commanded:
shut your eyes and touch the
point of your nose with your index
finger"
The woman tried. Her finger
wavered over her face a few Sec
onds and then after an effort it
reached her nose. If the finger had
instantly responded she would
have gone free. AS it was, she was
sent to an insane ward for obser-
walton.
Now while you've been reading
this you tried it on yourself, didn't
you? Oh, yes, you did and you
were victorious, of course.

worth of the curio kale. Just to
discover how it would go, he
started a disturbance in the street
In order to get arrested, and paid
a IS fine from his bargain bank
roll.
The doubtful five spot looked o.

gave him Mr.. Walkers v in

was one of those wise boys who
turn over even a nickel to see If
1t is slick on the other side. He
put curse on the currency and
tagged cop. Result, the sleuths

though he honored the soldiery oi
America and took pride in its
achievements, he voiced the
thought that the institutions and

built up or perpetuated by the
training of soldiers or the building
of Dreadnaughts. Rather could it
be done, he said, by the cultiva-

followed by the benediction,
closed the exercises.

Curina . Doctor.

An eminent, physician of London,
who was remarkable for continuing
his visits to his rich patients after
he had turned their disorders out
of doors, attended lady of some
celebrity in the world of wit for
three months after her recovery
and regularly stayed with her until,
in the English manner, he received
his dismissing fee of 5 guineas:
Weary of his expensive calls and
concluding that to lessen the fee
would be to lose the visitor, she
ventured to give him 4 guineas at
the conclusion of his next call. He
looked anxiously in his hand, then
on the carpet and stood for some
time in evident embarrassment.
"Have you lost anything" in
quired the lady.
"Why, madam, | thought l had
dropped guinea." "
ut is only a mistake in the per
son, sir" reioined the fair patient
"It is l who have dropped the
guinea"
The doctor, of course, dropped
his visits.
