PARTY SOLIDARITY.

lFrom the Des Moines Tribune,)
Before the echoes of "Uncle joe
III Iowa have died entirely away, II
might be we'll to recall that President
Roosevelt got rate law by breaking
the party solidarity the speaker com
mends and turning down the repub
lican majority in the committee on
interstate commerce.
Senator Aldrich and four others had
lined up in solid phalanx against the
president and they were majority
Of the republican members. Accord.
& to the speaker, that should have
ended it. But the president did not
see 1t in that light.
He encouraged Senator Dolliver to
so ahead and over turn the republi-
can majority and get report to the
senate. Senator Aldrich took the
same ground then that the speaker
does now and gave the bill to SEN
ator Tillman because he insisted it
was properly a democratic measure.
The country stood with President
Roosevelt then. Is it at all likely
that it will repudiate it's decision
now?

LOST.

There are gains for all our losses
There are balms for all our pain;
But when youth, the dream. departs
1t takes something from our hearts.
And it never comes again.
We are stronger. and are better,
Under manhood's sterner reign:
Still we feel that something sweet
Followed youth with flying feet.
And will never come again.
Something beautiful is vanished.
And we sigh for 1t in vain;
We behold it everywhere,
On the earth and in the air,
But it never comes again.

THE CALL OF AUTUMN.

o, trudging. trudglns through the town
BY dingy doors and walls,
dream of hedges turning brown
And hear the mystic calls.
sense the murmur of the trees
With shadows dark and green
Where he who is acquainted sees
The fairies dance between.
The little roads that wind and turn
And Chamber up the hills
Fast where the woodbnes flash and burr
Or loiter by the rins-
They send "a coaXing call to me
To come and fare afar,
To wait for dusk's great mystery
The blazing evening star.
And orchards with their laden boughs
Are whispering the while
or breeZes that come there to browse
They calf me mile and mile.
fThe good bare fields where golden glow
Bloom all about the edge
Are calling that 'tis time to go
A-tramping through the sedge.
Ho. dusty paths and grass grown trails,
They fain would know my feet.
And L can hear their far off halls
Here in the city street.
The grapes are bursting-full of wine
And purpling in the sun;
They send flavor fair and fine
That thrills the blood of one.
From silver dawn to ruddy dusk
go as one in bond,
While tangled scents of fruit and husk
Come to me from beyond.
o. trudging. trudging through the town
By soulless doors and walls,
dream of tramping up and down
The roads where autumn calls.

DRINKING cups Of the' lAnslssIn,ts.


Silver cups made by such; famous
workmen as Myron, Myos and Mentor
were preferred to gold cups. They
were very beautifully engraved and of
workmanship which has never been
equaled. When gold cups were enrich
ed with precious stones they some
times became peers Of the, engraved
silver vessels. OF all sizes, shapes and
designs We're these drinking cups. and
their value was measured more by
their form and design than the mate
rial of which they We're made. Some
had two handles, some only one and
some none at all. They We're large and
small. low and tall, narrow and OBJ
long. They were purely the product of
the varying fancy of that prodigious
age. which seemed to scorn uniform
ity. The early Greeks and Romans

Looks like trouble with Japan.
We cannot have trouble over the
general proposition that the Japs IL
this country are worse than the Chi
nese and wholly undesirable. No;
they're here posing as equals, lower
ing wages, running western garden
lands, running small American deal
ers into bankruptcy and spreading
unmentionable vices and all the ori
entail contagious. These things are
calamities only to the poor. We have
to put up with them in the name OF
diplomacy
Some Of us got hot over the as.
sociations of the licentius Japs with
our. school girls. The big stick OF
diplomacy whacked us into state of
submission. Most of us patrons OF
public schools are poor people, or of
moderate means. and diplomacy pre-.
ferred contamination of our daugh
ters to Interference with mercantile
designs on "the open door" in China,
to which Japan holds the key.
But now it really looks as If we
might have trouble with Japan. Dol
lars are concerned, instead of daugh-
ters. The great American trusts are
feeling hurt, and government must
get busy right away. The Steel
Trust has set up plant in Manchur
la and the door has got to be kept
open for those millionaires even
though we lose every battleship and
every man of army age between San
Francisco and Bangor lays down his
life.

who have been squelchd by Jap COM

CANNON AT KNOXVILLE.

(From the Register and Leader)
When the Mckinley bill was ready
for final vote there was every rea-
son why James G. Blaine should say
that it was the best possible, that all
tariffs must be compromises, that a
majority of the republicans in con-
gress had agreed, that the country
was prosperous, and so on to the
end of the chapter.
Blaine smashed his hat on the ta-
BILE in Senator Allison's committee
room, and dramatically exclaimed
that the bill did not open new mar
ket to a single barrel of pork or
Lound of flour.
There was every reason why Pres
ident Mckinley, when he went to
Buffalo to dedicate fair gotten up
to advertise the prosperity and prog.
ress of the American people, should
have contented himself with dwelling
on what we had already accom-.
plished, with telling the people that
nobody was so well off, no tariff leg
islation was SO wise, no period SO
happy, and no prospect SO bright.
1t was on this occasion that Nc
Kinley spoke only of changes for the
better, and most of all changes in
the Dingley tariff law, but four years
old. 1t was then he said that we
ought to trade off the tariffs nc
longer needed for larger markets
abroad. ~
Speaker Cannon learns nothing
from the great leaders OF the repub'
lican party. Like an inverted sign
board, he points backward to what
we have already achieved. Iowa was
a wilderness forty years ago, now
look at Iowa. Why should anybody
bother himself over the house rules
or complain If in the "inevitable
compromises" of tariff making a few
monopolies more or less were taken
care Of?

Speaker Cannon stands for an at
titude of mind. He is naturally
averse to progress. The suggestion
of new ways of doing things irritates
him. He is used to the OK bow and
the muzzle loader and the broad axe
He has nodded his own candles, spur
his own yarn, and Graded his owl
grain. The vulgarity and profanit!

his face out of the water pitcher

Curious Habits of Spiders.

The water spider carries air down
with it when it dives. DR.. McCook
saw one remain forty-ive minutes un
der the water. One water spider
builds Il nest under the water attached
to the stem of some plant and in the
shape of diving bell, with the open
ing downward. 1t fills this bell with
air by taking down a bubble ut a time.
Coming to the surface, it inclosesf an
air bubble under its body and instant
ly descends. Getting under the nest,
the bubble is allowed to escape into 1t,
and this process continues until the
nest is full of air. The spider, then
lays its eggs there, inclosed in a CO.
coon, and leaves them to grow in this
underwater palace, safe from all fly
ing foes. When these water spiders
are seen under water they look like
little balls of shining silver. Little
bubbles of air seem to cling among the
hairs of their bodies. As spiders, like
insects, breathe the air at little holes
along the whole length Of the body.
they can easily make use of these bub-
bles of air for breathing. london

DESTROYING THE cANADI.
MARKET,
(From the Telegraph. Herald

(From the Telegraph Herald.)
AS an illustration of how the tar
iff destroys the American market
abroad and positions American manu-.
facturers to gouge American con-
sumers there is the retaliatory featur
of the duties on wood pulp and print
paper.
Under the provisions of the tariff
law the United States treasury de-
partment on August 26, 1909, imposed
a retaliatory duty of 81 per ton on
print paper and s1.67 per ton on me-
chanically ground pulp, made from
wood cut from crown lands, in Que
bee and Ontario. This duty supple
mented the Payne duty of s3.75, max.
ing the total duty per ton s5.75.
This announcement was followed by
a declaration by provincial officials
that Quebec and Ontario will forbid
the expectation of manufactured
wood cut from crown lands, thus de-
feating the U. S. Government in the
collection of any import revenue
thereon.
On 1000, 900 of Canada's exports
to the United States an additional
duty of $1O,5O0,00O will be levied be
ginning March 81 next. Canada has
formally threatened that if the maxi
mum tariff of the Payne law is en-
forced against her she will retaliate
with her Surtax of 1908, adding one
third to the imports from countries
discriminating against Canada. This
done, American exporters would have
to pay s7,5OO,oOO Increased duties to
Canada.
Last week the Canadian Manufac
turers' Assn. in session at Hamilton
urged the government to prohibit the
expectation of all unmanufactured
wood from any and all of the nine
provinces of Canada.
The trade interchange between the
two countries amounts to $50 million
dollars annually, and 1t is this which
is threatened in consequence of this
government's determination to dis
criminate against Canada and to tax
the publishers of America simply that
combination of worn-out paper mill!
shall have protection.
The wood products brought into
this country from Canada aggregate
in value $3O,0O0,OOO. Doubtless near
ly every dollar Of this trade will be
stopped, leaving American publishers
at the mercy OF the paper trust, and
putting tax on all those who read
for pleasure or instruction.
Nothing better illustrates the foil,
of retaliatory tariff provisions thar
the duties on pulp and paper. That G
quarter of a billion dollars of trade
should be menaced, s30,0O0,O0O o
trade actually destroyed, and publish
ers numbering hundreds of thousands
and readers numbering 80,000,O0O bt
taxed merely for the sake of bolster
ing up a combination of print pape,
manufacturers constitutes commen
tary on our policies of government
that makes them marvels of the cen
turtles.

signed to the report Of the grand jury
recommending that the county print
ing be let to the lowest bidder.
The Silver State was under the i'm
preston that such was the case. How
ever, to this paper it is a matter of
small importance what committee
chairman signed it, so long as the
paragraph was Incorporated in the re-
port of the jury.
Mr.. Tobin takes exception to the
article and wishes the public to under
stand that he neither signed that por-
ton of the report referred to nor does
he endorse it. On the contrary, he
states that the matter referred to was
threshed out at the polls and that he
would not have affixed his name to any
such document.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustaehian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

HOW A HORSE GALLOPS.
The Natural Way and the Conventional
Pose In Art.

Pose In Art.
How does horse gallop? Owing Il
| the rapidity of action it cannot be seer
by the human eye. However, just as
the individual spokes of a rapidly re
volving wheel can be made visible by
fash of lightning. SO the action of q
galloping horse can be and has been
analyZed by instantaneous photogra,
ply.
The statuette of Sysonby. the thor
oughbred, has been made from photo
graphs taken at the instant when all
four legs are off the ground. The back
is arched, the hind feet are directed
forward, the fore feet backward, so
that all are tucked under the animals S
body.
When the limbs again touch the
ground the first to do so is one of the
hind feet, which is thrust far forward
so as to form an acute angle with the
line of the body and thus serve the
purpose Of a spring in breaking the
force of the impact Of the hoof when
the horse is going at top speed.
In the conventional mode Of repre-
senting a galloping horse all four legs
are off the ground at once, but the
front pair are extended backward in
such way that the undersurfaces Of
their hoofs are directed skyward, the
body being at the same time brought
near the ground. This conventional
pose appears to have been derived from
a dog running, when the front and
hind pairs of legs are respectively ex-
tended forward and backward, with
the soles Of the hind feet turned up
ward.
This pose. it is thought, was adopt
ed to represent the gallop of the horse
by the godsmiths of Mycenae between
500 and 1000 B. c.. whence it was
transmitted by way of Persia and ST.
IBERIA to China and Japan, to return
in the eighteenth century as the re-
suit of commercial relations to west
nrn Europe.-Chicago Tribune.
