Officially IGNORED.

On the relief train that had been
rushed to the scene Of the railway
wreck was a newspaper reporter.
The first victim he saw was a man
whose eyes were in mourning and
whose left arm was in a sling. With
his hair full OF dirt, one end OF his
shirt collar flying loose and his coat
ripped up the back. the victim was
sitting on the grass and serenely con-
templating the landscape.
How many people are hurt:" asked
the reporter, hurrying up to him.
II haven't heard OF anybody being
hurt, young man." said the other.
How did this wreck happen:"
81 haven't heard of any wreck"
"You haven't! Who are you. any

torn between two emotions, hunger

Fight Was Too Warm.
The fact is that the fight became so
warm among the candidates that Gov
ernor Marshall decided to go entirely
outside the bunch and get a man for
himself-one that had not been heard
of in connection with the place-and
thus avoid mixing in the hot fight
that had arisen among the contes.
state and finally lit on Matson as
the most acceptable man he could
pick out That was the way the ap-
pointment came about.
Gilbert H. Hendren, of Bloomfield
was one of the men who wanted the
position SO bad he could almost taste
it, but he did not even come close to
it. Hendren was chairman of the
speakers bureau for the democratic
state committee during the last two
campaigns, and last summer and fall
he worked like beaver at planning
the speaking tours which Marshall
made over the state during the cam
paign. If any political worker in the
party was entitled to anything fol
services rendered it was Hendren, but
he got nothing and there does not
seem to be anything in sight for him
Hendren worked hard for the appoint
ment as tax commissioner. He did il
openly and everybody knew he was q
candidate. But then SO did many 9th
ers, and they all got left.

The Coniurer CopfaSses,

That the hand is quicker than the
eye" is one of those accepted sayings
invented by some one who knew moth
ing Of conjuring, or. as is more likely,
by some cunning conjurer who aimed
still further to hoodwink a guilible
public. The fact is that the best con-
jurer seldom makes a rapid motion,
for that attracts attention, even though
it be not understood The true artist
in this line is deliberate in every move
ment. and it is mainly By his actions
that he leads his audience to look not
where they ought. but in an entirely
different direction Mr.. David Devant,
who for number OF consecutive years
has entertained London with his in
genious tricks. has said: 1.-THE con-
jurer must be an actor. BY the ex.

relates the London Taller. The story
is that a person named Cook about a
century ago was told by a gypsy in the
Leigh woods that his only son would
be killed by a serpent before he reach
ed the age Of twenty-one. To avert
this he built high tower and shut his
son in the topmost room with the In
tention of secluding him there until the
fatal age was passed. However, by &C
cident a viper was taken up in fagot
to the room to light the fire, and it
crept from the fagot ana bit the boy

was called Cooks Folly, and that is Its
name to this day, whatever is the true

From the New Haven Register:
1t ought not to be left to any one
man to renew the effort which was SO
successfully carried out year ago in
New Haven to clean up the back
yards and neglected spots of the city.
We are not likely soon to forget what
was accomplished at that time. but
common sense should tell us that it
could not last always. It is not yet
certain that the effort will be repeated
this year. but 1t ought to be. There
should be general demand for 1t. Ev-

Unless sufficient pressure is
brought to hear on the Congress OF
the United States, there will be a
grave injustice done the people. This
injustice is incorporated in the present
status OF the Payne bill which is aim
ed at tariff revision.
1t is another case of the chosen few.
And those few are certain manufac-
turers of cotton hosiery and gloves.
Most of us do not follow the exam
pie Of that illustrious Mr.. Simpson,
better known as "Sockless jerry
Many people also wear gloves.
Hence it can be seen that the whole
American public is to be exploited by
the tariff schedule on this particular
thing for the benefit of few manu-
facturers who are we'll enough off to
come under the Inheritance tax If it
should ever become a law.

All the dealers all over the country
in these things will be affected to
some extent by falling off in their
trade, but they are also active in pro-
tecting the people who are their Gus
toners both from selfish and unset
fish point CT view. The fact is that
We would all continue buying these
commodities bit would get an inferior
article a. an Increased price.
Marshall Field and Company have
been sending out the facts and are
trying to reach every consumer. They
say:
"A group of hosiery manufacturers
have received a 20 per cent increase
over the prevailing 60 per cent rate,
making a total of so per cent against
foreign goods. This would exclude all
foreign 25c hosiery, and would enable
domestic manufacturers to raise their
prices proportionately. At Csc and soc
the public would have the option of
accepting an inferior Foreign article
to that sold heretofore or buying a
domestic substitute which is less de-
sirable
That the present rate of duty is
high enough to pay liberal wages to
the operatives and generous profit
to the manufacturers, is shown by the
latest government census:
Domestic output 1900, $22,759.319:
1905. $43,590,957; per cent increase
100 per cent.
This is exactly what the people of
the United States who have been urg-
Ing tariff revision do not want to hap

Of the protective theory and cannot
be defended on the ground of infant
industry
What the American people should
ask Is whether or not some powerful
interest has put this schedule into eff.
feet. II it has. it is time the thing is
exposed so that congressman will not
dare so on record as favoring it,
And the glove trade is also threat
ened for the benefit of one group OF
manufacturers. Any one who has had
experience in buying gloves abroad or
in Canada knows that We are already
paying too much for gloves in this
country. And yet the schedules are
to be raised.
This is what Marshall Field says:
THE glove manufacturers have not
been backward in making similar re
quests. and their demands are no less
unjustifiable and outrageous. They
have secured 4 tariff that will exclude
foreign gloves altogether. They would
put practically the whole industry in
to the hands OF group OF manufac
turers In Fulton County, New York.

WORK WITH
BOSS AWAY
This Is the Advice Given by
John D. Rockefeller
to His Sunday School
Glass of Boys.

Cleveland, O., Oct. 4-Work
Just as hard when the boss is a.
way as when he is watching you,
is John D. Rockefeller's motto
for holding a job, as related by
him to the Sunday school boys of
his church-the Euclid Avenue
Baptist Church = yesterday.
First Mr.. Rockefeller told how
to hold a position. This is to es
tablish a reputation for honesty,
industry and sobriety.
Mr.. Rockefeller philosophical
from his own experience in life,
so he said. Incidently he re-
marked that last Sunday was
the 54th anniversary of the date
when he obtained his first job.
He was footsore and weary when
at last he found a chance to go
to work. Then he was told to
call again.
Il was to call after luncheon.
A gentleman who knew me was
hunted up by my prospective
employer" Mr.. Rockefeller said.
He told all about me and got
the job. Remember, boys, when
you look for a job, employers
will inquire about you and it is a
good thing to have a reputation
for honesty. Especially do they
inquire of your pastor and teach
er. A boy must not necessarily
be smart to hold a position, but
must be honest, sober and
diligent.
