PAST AGES NOT WITHOUT VIRTUES.
By Walter Bagehof.

Nation making is the occupation of men in
the early ages. And ii is war that makes
nations. Nation changing comes afterward,
and is mostly effected by peaceful revolution,
though even then war, too, plays its part.
The idea of an indestructible nation is mod
ern idea; in early ages all nations were de.
structible, and the further we go back the
more incessant was the work Of destruction.

MEN WIN BY DIRECTING THEIR YOUTH.

Ask most men of ripened worldly experience
the one thing in their lives which they regret
Somewhere you will discover that most Of

men. They let too many young years run
away from them.

MODERN MOTHER MERELY HOUSEWIFE.
By Lady Mac Laren,

A Greek philosopher has advised that "If
any man has two loaves, let him sell one and
buy lilies, for the soul has its needs as well
as the body" This is the kind Of catering
for the housewives of the future, to collect
the flowers of heart and mind, and soul to
deck the board, so that the breadwinner, worn
with the tolls of the day, will find more re-
freshment than in the present monotony Of

Formerly farmers thought wheat

producing fine quality mutton, but
later they have discovered that the best
sweet, juicy meat is produced by feed
ing a variety of feeds, such as clover,
alfalfa, oatmeal, ground oats and a
little corn and roots or ensilage for
succulence.
Most farmers think clover hay is
not good for horses, but here is what
farmer friend had to say on this
point the other day after having fed
clover and mixed hay to his horses
for several years: 'If had my choice
between well-cured clover hay and
nice, bright timothy, l would take the
clover hay every time. Many farmers
are of the opinion that horses will
have the heaves if fed clover hay. 1
have raised a good many horses, and
have never had one yet that had the
heaves as a result of eating clover
hay. OF course, horse will some
times eat more clover than is good
for him, if permitted to do so, because
he relishes it better than timothy. But
give him the amount you think he
ought to have and let him go without
until the next time"

The Tariff Issue.

After years of demagoguery,
and buncombe on the
subject of tariff, it has remained
ior Elihu Root, junior Senator
from New York, to state in public
debate the actual facts regarding
he methods of the Republican
party in framing a tariff bill.
Said Mr.. Root, speaking in sup
port of the corporation tax:
"We have been here for over three
months, considering and discussing
and voting upon the measures OF pro-
lection it is necessary to give to keep
alive and prosperous the business OF
tens and hundreds of thousands OF
corporations engaged in manufacture
and trade affected by the protective
tariff. What do we know about these
corporations? Upon one hand We
have garbled and partial statements;
upon the other equally garbled and
partial statements; and no means OF
distinguishing the truth. We are un-
der the necessity of proceeding by
guess work, by conjecture, always
with dissatisfaction because we recOg-
nize the chance that we may have
guessed wrong about whose state
ments come nearest to the truth. |
should like to see in the Office OF the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
the next time a tariff bill comes be-
fore Congress, statements, under
oath. and tested year by year, about
the business of all this vast multitude
81 N ~ n
ly to us for help, SO that we shall not
again be compelled to come to the
conclusion that all the business OF the
United States is on the brink OF fall
ure."
Never was there a franker state
ment of the methods by which
tariff bills are framed thar that
made by the Senator from New
York. Senators and Representa-
tives, a large majority of whom
are lawyers, have accepted almost
without question the ex-parte
statements of interested persons
and companies, and have fixed
tariff rates in accordance with
their representations and de-
mands. The current tariff re-
vision is by no means the revision
downward implied by the Reprb-
lican platform and specifically
promised by the Republican pres
idential candidate. But present
indications all point to the in
clusion in the tariff bill of certain
provisions which will preclude in
the future the hit or miss methods
of the past and render it impos-
sible for Senators and Represen-
tatives extravagantly to swell the
profits of their manufacturing con-
stituents at the expense OF the
consumer without detection.
