man was a letter written at Well

dressed to Nellie Gray, Jonesborc,
Arkansas. In this letter the writer
called her his sister and signed the
name Of Cameron Gray to the let

bottle containing some whiskey. He
was fairly we'll dressed, sufficient
to put him out of the hobo class.

There is No Good Reason.

We have been importing nearly 6,OOO,-
900 dozen pairs of stockings a year.
Will any one give us good reason why
those stockings should not be made by
American labor2 If the new tariff re-
suits in transferring some of that in
dustry to America it will be that much
more gained. The importers have de.
nounced the tariff on these articles of
universal wear, but that is due to the
fact that they are more interested in
collecting commissions on these import
ed stockings than they are in American
consumers. That is the way they make
their riches. Why an importer should
be entitled to more consideration than
manufacturer who employs American
labor is another one of the questions
that we should like to see answered. -

The Presidential Journey.

According to the published itinerary.
President Taft will make q longer
journey this fall than any other Presi-
dent has done, and he will make it
modestly in two drawing cars. The rail
roads cannot give him free transporta-
ton, and although the congressional
appropriation of $25, 900 year for the
Presidents travelling expenses Is a size
able sum, it is said that locomotive
alone would cost more than that figure
for the proposed trip of 1000 miles. So
the President, not being wealthy man,
will make his journey in cars attached
to regular trains. The circumstance has
called forth all sorts of comment, from
the assertion that it is mean business
on the part Of a rich and powerful
nation to leave its President to figure
on the cost of travel like private citi-
zen, to the equally positive declaration
that there is no need of such Journeys
anyway. But on this last proposition
there is certainly much to be said. This
republic has always been looked upon
by some of the worlds soundest think
ers as being inevitably in the nature of
an experiment. How long the govern
ment may be perpetuated in its present
form no one can tell. AS population be-
comes more dense and the pressure in
creases in the struggle for existence. all
sorts of wild notions will be brought
forward. When that time comes, it
may well be that public confidence in
the executive will be found to be one
of the most potent factors in the pres
ervation of common sense and the
maintenance of order and good govern
ment. There can be no question that
the fact of the President mingling as
freely as possible with the people of the
entire country will count heavily in
promoting this feeling of confidence,
and it may thus be shown that the
results of the long and increasingly
frightening presidential journeys of
recent administrations may easily be
worth many times their cost. At the
same time it is to be kept in mind that
the President is not travelling for his
pleasure. He is rendering the country a
service, which, it would seem, the
country can well afford to pay for.

1.-The effort being made through some

constituents expected them to or wish
cd them to, will haye very little in
huence in the direction intended. The
republicans of Michigan have never
failed to affirm their belief in the wis.
dom Of protection, not for their own
state alone and for certain local pro-
ducts, but as national policy for APP
plication in every state in the union.
In their recent vote in the senate,
Senator Burrows and Senator Smith
