Uncle Joe Cannon handed the delega-
ton of Prohibition women a chunk of
cold common sense which may do them
good. They went to him with request
that he should appoint nobody but Pro-
hibitionists on the District of Columbia
Committee. Cannon said to them that
this was the first time that anybody had
approached him with a proposition to
pack committee. This was view
that must have made those earnest but
unthinking ladies stand aghast. He next
informed them as to something which
they had not thought of before, that
the administration of the District of Co
lumbia, with all the various interests
involved, was a great big job. which
required men of high business ability
TO fill. Like all men of one idea, a Pro-
hibitionist is not likely to be a man of
great business and executive ability, and
therefore it would be mistake to con-
fine the membership Of the committee
to that class.

Champ Clark and o. W. Underwood
continue to talk longingly for tariff
for revenue" They rely upon the ig-
norance of their hearers as to what that
really means. A tariff for revenue must
necessarily be placed on the things
which will produce the largest revenue;
that is, those which enter extensively
into daily life. Coffee. tea, sugar, salt,
tobacco and breadstuffs are the favorite
articles for taxation under tariff for
revenue. The more of these articles
there are imported, the more money
that goes out of the country for them,
the larger viii be the revenue and the
heavier the burdens upon the common
people. A tariff for protection, on the
other hand, takes the tax off the abso-
lutte necessaries of life and tries to place
the burden upon articles which we
should produce ourselves and keep the
money at home.

An illustration of the -blooded
selfshness ot politicians drifts down
from Toledo. Last year when the citi-
zens of Tolelo were straining every
nerve TO raise the money to give the
National Encampment the magnificent
entertainment it received, the Collector
of Customs-and who has held that
profitable Office for IL years-was So
licited TO subscribe. At last he put his
name down for s25. but when the COM
nittee tried TO collect the money he
offset this with a bill for s25 for his
clerical labor in sending out invitations
by the committee of which he was q
member He is now a candidate for
reappointment, and the story is tod as
indicating the caliber of the man.

plank in its platform a demand for

1t would be very provoking to any

West Virginia has done a very prop
er thing in securing from demolition
the great mound at Moundsville. on
the Ohio River. the largest mound in
the United States. The Legislature ap-
propriated $4,000 for this purpose,
which. with gift of $1,000 from the
McFadden heirs, and the money raised
by the school children and the G. A. X,
viii be sufficient TO pay for it. 1t is 80
feet high. and occupies a square in the
center of the town. which has made it
very desirable for building lots. On it
grow great trees, believed to be GOO or
100 years old, so that the mound may
be contemporary with the pyramids of
Egypt. A tunnel was driven into the
mound in 1888, and two skeletons were
found in rude vault constructed of un-
hewn timbers and rough stones. With
enc of the skeletons were $50 ivory
Beads and a very large ivory ornament.
with another skeleton were found bone
beads and copper rings. The mound is

President Taft, it is reported, pro-
poses to let his Cabinet officers select
their Assistant Secretaries and other
subordinates, on the theory that the
man clothed with the responsibility
should be allowed TO choose the men
whom he thinks most suitable to carry
out his plans. T1is. Mr.. Taft is re-
ported as saying, is the surest way TO
secure symmetrical and efficient con-
duct of public business" On the face
of it this is a very seductive PROPOSE
ton, but how viii it work out? If it is
a good thing to allow the Secretaries
to choose their own Assistant Secre.
taries. Auditors, Comptrollers, etc. why
is it not equally a good thing to allow
these to also select their subor6inates,
and so on to the end of the chapter?
Then what becomes of Civil Service?

company's boat "Kingfisher" at
Swanson bay The "Kingfisher" was
quite close to the scene when the dis
aster occurred"
According to witnesses Immediately
after the vessel struck there were two
or three heavy bumps as she plowed
over the reef. Passengers who were in
their births were awakened by the
officers. There was no time to save
anything and all rushed on deck clad
only in whatever clothes were at hand.
From below deck swarmed the steer
age passengers, mostly foreigners,
panic stricken, fighting their way to
the life boats which were being made
ready. The women and children were
safely lowered into the boats, and then
the men of the crew and passengers
were removed. The last boat had
scarcely left when an explosion Of
steam and water occurred which
sent the ship to the bottom at once.

GREAT TUNNEL FIRE
is EXTINGUISHED

Great Falls. Mont. Aug. 27.-Af-
ter days strenuous work the fire in
the Billings and Northern tunnel has
been put out, but it will be some
time before trains can be run through
it, AT one end of the tunnel about
100 feet of the timbering has been
saved and 500 feet at the other end.
About $1,000 feet is destroyed. Most
of the tunnel runs through rock for
nation so that it will be possible to
run trains through it without wait
ing for the timbering, and if the track
is not materially damaged officials
say trains may be running through
it in ten days.
