vided as TO what should be done to cor
rect its many defects. They are standing
for retention OF the scheme, and they
are being asked to suggest something
that Will make II possible for a man of
moderate means to offer for any position
in the state. They are confronted with
the office trust which has been built up
in the state, and against which they have
lnveighed in the past, and which they
declared they desired to see broken up.
The primary has Succeeded in getting
men i'll office. and there is no way to get
them out, as under the primary they have
intrenched themselves and are stronger
than when the system was first intro
duced, and the excessive assessments and
campaign expenses debar many from
seeking any office. All the men now in
office have their organizations. which
they maintain at very little expense as
compared with what would confront Il
new man were he to enter for any office.

fall. and they are to open and maintain

Great store is being laid to the recent

HABIT THAT MEANS HAPPINESS
Kindly Attitude OF Mind Is Above All
Things Worldly.

A habit of holding a kindly attitude
OF mind toward everybody has pow
erful influence upon the character 1t
lifts the mind above petty jealousies
and meannesses; il encircles and en-
larges the whole life. Where we meet
people no matter If they are stran-
gers, we feel a certain kinship with
and friendliness for them, If we have
formed the goodwill habit.
In other words, the kindly habit,
the goodwill habit. makes us feel
more sympathy for everybody. And
If we radiate this helpful, friendly
feeling others will reflect it back TO
us.
On the other hand if we go through
life with a cold, selfish mental atti-
tude, caring only for our own, always
looking for the main chance, only
thinking of what will further our own
interest, our own comfort. totally in
different to others, this attitude will,

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Declar
ing that the people have been fooled
by the promise of the republican par
ty, which has revised the tariff to
suit itself and the American protective
league. Senator Isadore Rayner of
Maryland, created sensation on the
floor of the senate today. He said:
"The people are fooled again as they
will be fooled until eternity, unless
federal taxation is rescued from the
contamination of politics and the COM
binations that practically own the
government"
He analyzed the Payne tariff bill,
charging that while the schedules We're
reduced in some instances, they were
raised in others, so that the reduction
is not effective
Rayner said that the trust oppres-
sion will not be relieved by the con-
templated changes in the present
rates He offered strong arguments
favoring the ouening of all ports and
bringing them into competition with
the whole world He praised tariff for
revenue only. and eHid he favored the
lowest possible rate on necessities,
with a high rate on luxuries.
Senator Scott of West Virginia
spoke favoring changes in the exist
ing rates on coal, lumber, iron. steel,
hides. wool oil and pottery He de-
clared as a stand-patter that he was
supported by the West Virginia legls-
lature. Protestirg IN nst the new
schedule cutting the rate on lumber
in half. he said there would be nothing
left for lumbermen to do but cut the
wages of e'nnloyes.

WATCHMAN GIVES
LIFE FOR DUTY
Safe Blowers Kill Man Who Tried to
Defend His Post With Lantern
AS His Only Weapon
Body Found Today.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 29.-Armed
only with a lantern, which he used
as a weapon, Stephen Tudzinski,
watchman in the Eagle tannery, on
the San Bruno road, battled with tTo
safe crackers last night, and was
killed. His body was found in the yard
this morning, a bullet in his breast
and the lantern clutched in his hands.
1t is supposed the watchman inter
fered when the robbers attempted to
blow the safe.
Persons living in the vicinity re-
ported to the police that they heard
two shots at 10 O'Clock last night and
that is believed to be the time Of the
tragedy. The watchman usually car
ried a revolver, but left it in his room
in the tannery. His brother was sleep
ing in the tannery at the time.
