How Gan He Even Hope to Make You a Suit That

 FITTING CLOTHES

If They Do You Ought to Read This Article; It's Worth Your While.

Do not perfectly fitting clothes ap- peal to you? Do you not mentally
 commend the man whose suit you mo- tice to be particularly well fitting? And last do you want your clothes to fit you in a way that will cause others to say, '1fs clothes always look so well.'' No painstaking man and who shouldn't be careful in the matter of dress ?-can afford to wear a suit unless its built to his own measure by a good custom tailor. A man out West making ready made clothes to flood the Eastern market ments-how is he qualified to make you suit of clothes? If you buy a ready made suit you will in nine cases out of ten be obliged to have it al- tered at least the trousers will prob ably have to be shortened. You know the process-Chop! and off goes the bottom of the trousers, giv- | ing that delightful CD straight ef> on overhauls or corduroys. Instead | of on a garment intended for dress purposes. When you're buying clothes why not get them right? Why not buy them of Wheale at 1O42 Main street, who utilizes a fitting system that cannot fail to give you perfect fitting garment. Wheale made suits are as sure to be correct in every de-
 tail as the building erected along i'm fallible architectural and construction l plans. The foundation is always on | the proverbial rock and from this 70 the completion of a garment science | is depended upon and the result is perfection in fit. There is absolutely no guess work permitted in the
 Wheale establishment-facts and fig
 ures alone are tolerated. Such meth

HALEY, astronomer royal of England,

noticed that the same interval divided

were the same comet returning At that

Horace White says in an article in
the Chicago Tribune on the tariff:
The reason Why q tariff bill consis-
tent with the pledges of the republi-
can platform and the wishes of the
people was not enacted, is due to the
simple fact that the last congress
assembled, Is ill congresses do, to get
itself reelected. If the men who are
explopiting our vanishing national re-
sources and their allies, the protected
manufacturers, are more Influential
than any other class in controlling
nominations and elections, the con.
gressmen will vote for their interests,
however contrary they may be to the
public interests. Mr.. Aldrich was

If he had not done 90 his first term
would have been his last" This is
the simple explanation of the presi.
dents failure to get all he wanted in

White considers 1.-THE most significant
fact in our politics since the downfall
Of slavery, that the president was will

thinks it required more courage to

tariff than it did for Roosevelt to At

WE'ER STILL SAFE.

One of the odd persistencies of news
papers which are ''agin the govern
ment" is their determination to show
that the United States treasury is
bankrupt, that it will get worse As
sure as "the Lord made little apples
and that the white house will have to
be sold at auction to satisfy Uncle
Sans creditors
To form any accurate opinion OF
what the new tariff will do for the
treasury, we must wait for more ex.
perience with the workings of the
schedules. An estimate without more
of this actual experience of imports
under new rates, and without . long.
er test of the relative trend of increas.
ing imports, owing to the increasing
trade activity at home, must be q
sheer guess. But if the treasury re-
ceipts continue to hold their ratio Of
improvement, scored both under the
old and under the new tariffs for sever.
al months and the indications point
to such results-the governments fin.
ances will not be far from right. On
that basis we are willing to match q
cheerful guess of coincidence against
the gloomy guess of calamity howlers.

made three voyages of exploration,
finding each time new islands of the
West Indies, and on the last voyage
touching the mainland, without known
ing it to be such. Other explorers
followed in rapid succession. Cabot,
in 1897, landing ON the coast of La

who wanted to live forever, landed in
Florido in 1913, Vasco Nuenz de Bal.

was in. 1920 that Magellan circum.

the straits which bear his name, at the
southern extremity of South America.
He was the original globe trotter; the

Much American exploration was pro-

before the Christian era, the geographi'
cal information of the world was con.
fined to the Eurphrates valley, and to
those countries bordering on the Medi'
terranean, all beyond was an unknown
world to the then civilized part of it.
The conquests of Alexander revealed a
great part of the hitherto but dimly
known lands of Southern Asia. A
century or so later the trading posts
of the Romans, established by force of
arms, added general knowledge of
much of continental Europe. In the
time of Christ, the known world con.
sisted of Southern Europe, Asia Minor,
Arabia, Persia, and the smaller states
Southern Asia, and North Africa. All
that vast expanse of the country com.
prised in the scandinavian and Russian
empires, then utterly deserted, or in.
habited only by roing tribes, was
shrouded in darkness and mystery.
South Africa and Eastern Asia were
utterly unknown, as of course were
America and Australia. And whther
the direct canse, it is a fact that Chris
tianity had much to do with the ex-
ploration of the earth. Many of the
noted explorers of America, as Mar
quette and Joliet, were directly inter.
ested in spreading the faith, and the
rule holds good to some extent in other

to the spread of trade, or the march of
