The DESCENDING Scale,

'"The first letter John ever wrote to
me-" said married woman to her
friend, was shortly after we had be-
come acquainted and before there was
really anything like an understanding
between us. This is the way he signed
it:
yours, my dear Miss Weston. most
sincerely,
JOHN HAMILTON EASTON.
'There, you see, were ten words
enough for telegram-just to bring 8
commonplace friendly letter to an end.
But after we became engaged his first
letter to me was signed in this way:
yours, my darling, affectionately
JOHN.
'That, you will observe, was a re-
duction Of so per cent from his conclu-
sion as mere friend. The first letter
he ever wrote to me after we were
married was signed:
Yours, JOHN"
She stopped for a moment and
sighed and then continued:
eve have been married seventeen
years now. Yesterday received a let
ter from him. Here is the way it was
signed:

WANTS TO BE GOVERNOR

Capt. William M. Lewis of Racine,
has made an announcement that he is
a candidate for the republican NOM
ination for governor. lie probably
is constrained to seek the nomination
because of what ne has done for the
party and thinks, evidently, that he
is entitled to recognition and perfer-
ment because he has been factionist
instead of loyal party man. The
factionists now have three candidates
in the field from which to make choice
Strange, McGuvern and Lewis, and
the republican party will undoubtedly
have a good man in the field in due
time.

THOUGHTS 81 THE WAY

The poor express companies, if re-
ports are to be credited, owing to hard
times we're unable to declare only 700
ger cent dividends un capital invested.
1t rather looks as if a sparcel post
law might help them out and make
it less expensive and more convenient
for the great mass of the people.
Some one has suggested, that be-
fore denouncing the tariff it might
be we'll to tt ink it over. tor possibly
that Aldrich made the duty on blank
cts very high expecting that the in
crease would make tn. BUYERS 80 hot
that they would not need very heavy
blankets, thus aiding the poor to save
money. The idea is most respectfully
referred to the, President, who, ap-
parently, only sees one side of the
question, and that not fay orable to
the great mass Of the people. who
will probably remember him without
thanks in 1902.
With high protective tariff, par
Gel post, postal savings banks and q
ship subsidy the taxpayers can just
groan and thank God, that it cannot
be any worse.
The writer fails to see what differ
ence it makes, whether q man calls
himself u republican or democrat
when the principles advocated are
exactly alike. The difference b.tween
progressive republican and a pro.
gressive democrat is not perceptable to
the naked eye and the party desig-
nation cuts no ice.
The friends uf President Taft
should call him in and muzzle him.
Out on the Pacific coast he is advocat-
ing ship subsidy which will take I'M
told millions Of dollars out of the ma
tiona. treasury for the benefit Of
few wealthy ship owners. The ma
tiu.,al debt is growing, taxes are be-
coming burdensome and there is
large deficit confronting the nation.
1t is evident. that the President talks
without thinking just to hear himself
talk, and talks a good deal Of nom

SETTING LAW ASIDE

Just so long as the Supreme Court
Of the nation is permitted to set aside
at will the deliberate acts Of Con-
gress and just so long as the Supreme
Courts of the different states are
allowed to set aside at will the del
iberate act of state legislatures, just
so long will the people of America
fail to have faith in the stability of
the law.
There is a feeling very broadcast
in this country that it is we'll nigh
useless for Congress or state legisla
lures to enact remedial legislatio
wherein the execution thereof may
initiate against or interfere with the
rich and powerful.
Not only is this true in civil pro-
cedure, but in the criminal depart
ment as we'll
Very seldom indeed do big concerns
or great interests or wealthy men in
this country carry a case to the Su-
preme Court with a view to ques-
tioning the constiuutionality of the law
governing, wherein they do not
succeed in having that law set aside.
In Engla how different it is there,
the Supreme Court has never set
aside, never sought to set aside,
never been asked to set aside an en-
actment of Parliament, an would not
be permitted. A law passed by
a1s7--lent-there, the law-making
BODY, is supreme.

HOOKING ALLIGATORS.
A Florida Sport With an Element Of
Uncertainty In Ii.

A Florida Sport With an Element Of
Uncertainty In 1t.
Hunting alligators at night with a
bullseye lantern and shotgun is tame
sport compared with what is called a
gator hunt in Florida" said an old
Floridian who is visiting New York.
81 mean the feat of capturing an alli-
gator alive and then towing the fellow
to high ground through mud and water
from what is called in Florida ga
tor hole.
1.-THE gator fishermen first find the
hole, which is indicated by an opening
in the surrounding grass in the midst
Of dense growth of vegetation, where
the ground is worn smooth by the al
ligator in his pulls in and out. Some
times these gator holes are in the ma
ture of a cave in the bank of a stream
and may be fifteen or twenty feet
deep, and if so it is not an easy matter
to get the animal out
'The fisher is supplied with long
pole with a metal hook on the end.
He takes strong rope and throws it
about the entrance of the hole. Then
the fisher rams with the hooked pole
down the den and waits and listens.
If he finds a gator in the hole he
leases the beast by poking him until
the gator in a rage finally grabs the
hooked pole and is pulled from the
den. 1t is with uncertainty that he is
dragged forth. for it is not known
whether the catch is large or small.
The fisher does not know whether to
get into shape to run or to fight. Out
the gator comes, believing and roar
ing mad.
After the gator is dragged to the
surface he in his rage turns and rolls
and finally twists himself up in the
rope or moose that has been previously
prepared. With the assistance of the
others in the party the gators legs
and mouth are tied and the gator is a
prisoner.
THE gator is for the most part
caught in marshes where the ground is
soft and slushy and too wet for either
horse or wagon to enter The fishers
are compelled to carry their catch to
higher ground. there to be loaded into
the waiting wagon. and the hunt is
ended."-New York Sun.

Settled the Duel.

Lord March, afterward the Marquis
Of Queensberry, was not accustomed
to view a duel with unbecoming ap-
prehension and usually attended an
affair with an air of enjoyment that
often was decidedly displeasing and
embarrassing to his adversary But
he was served at last with that sauce
which the proverb explains is for the
gander as well as for the goose 1t
was when he was challenged to fight
an Irish sportsman. Lord March APP
peared on the ground accompanied by
a second, surgeon and other witnesses
His opponent arrived soon afterward
with similar retinue, but added to
by person who staggered under the
weight of polished oak coffin. which
he deposited on the ground, end up,
with its lid facing Lord March and his
party. Lord March became decidedly
uncomfortable when he read the in
scription plate, engraved with his own
name and title and the date and year
of death, and peace was patched up.

DID NOT RAISE MEMS WAGES

DID NOT RAISE MEMS WAGES.
New York Evening Post: Senator
Gore OF Oklahoma. is among the first
to point OUT that it is high time to
hear of any protectionists who have
raised the wages of their employees as
result of the tariff favors they have
received at the hands of congress
The whole theory of protection, he
points out, is to secure high wages,
and not high profits. 1.-THE very
purpose and spirit of the law is
cheated and defeated" he writes, "lf
protection returns unreasonable profits
instead of reasonable wages He
finds it astounding, therefore, that
manufacturers have not Of their own
accord raised the wages of their
laborers, particularly in the cotton
goods industry. Some of the New
Bedford mills are paying dividends
of from 30 to 60 per cent. None the
less, wages stay about the same,
although the tariff rates were fixed
higher than the manufacturers dared
to ask when before the way sand means
committee. Of course, Senator Gore
knows very well that wages have no
such relation to protection as is con-
tended. His point - well made; but
it is not only the cotton manufacturers
who forget to raise wages The Mis-
souri, zinc mine owners. who are gett-
ing SIP so more ton since the duty
on zinc ore, have, so far as we are
aware, in nowise shared this great
increase in their profits with their
miners; while the recent strike in
the Pressed Steel Car works at Pitts
burg showed clearly how little the
tariff had to do with wages in that
highly protected steel district.

COMMON AND HIGH SCHOOLS

ooh hNAN lAND cNhSOLO
We are glad that Ex-Governor
Hoard has taken strong and advanced
grounds for more state money for
the high schools and less for the state
educational institutions. Not to ex-
coed twenty per cent of the children
of the state will attend the costly
state institutions, the remaining
eighty per cent receiving their educa-
tion in the common and high schools.
Then we have scattered throughout
the state several colleges and acad-
amies where good education can be
obtained at a reasonable figure for
tuition and board, and it is now almost
universally conceded that the smaller
institutions are preferable because of
the associations and the nearness of
the student to the members of the
faculty. Then, young man or wo-
man how are anxious for higher
education can and will obtain it with
out expense to the taxpayers. The
writer 10 not opposed to the state I'M
iversity and normal schools, but Up-
posed to the lavish expense of money
to maintain them to the injury of the
common and high schools, the colleges
of the people and has on several
occasions given expression to his opin-
ions through the columns of his paper.

BETTER FIGHT 1T OUT AT HOME

DEL Eft FIda IL w AL HUI
Because of failure of a republican
congress to give the people such tariff
as was promised in the republican
national platform, an exodus from
that party to the democracy has
begun. In Massachusetts several
men, who, heretofore, have been &C.
tive republicans have gune over to
the opposition and there is disposi-
ton everywhere to leave the party
until it changes its attitude toward
the people. The remedy may be
worse than the disease. for the demo-
cracy can always be depended upon to
do the wrong thing a. the right time
for the benefit of the republican party.
