to his notion of things the schooner
was getting a 'leetle" too near Ger

board shore, so aft he went to the can

side said:
"Cap'n Spooner, you're getting a
leetle too close to them flats. Hadn't
we better go about?" t,--
The captain glared at him.
I Mr.. Comstock, Jest you go for-ard

Polishing by Hot Air.

The marvels OF friction are infinite.
The use of the sand blast for polish
ing metals is quite a recent invention.
and now 1t is followed by that OF a
blast of simple hot air. 1t Is the We
locity that gives the polishing power.
The articles to be treated are placed
in a basket in centrifugal machine
driven at very high speed and heat
ed air is blown from pipe through
the basket. A Z. i polish is thus pro
duced very rapidly.
Nickel plated articles that have be
come furnished are made bright In a
few minutes. Wet metal fresh from
the bath needs no preliminary drying,
for the current of air dries and pol
ishes at the same moment. II is only
necessary to so pack the articles that
the air reaches them on all Sides

Peal Tariff Tax Beneficiaries,

From the published reports of so
New England corporations Senator
Gore proved that tariff benefits have
gone far in excess of the protection
idea-that instead of building up in
FAINT industries or increasing the
profits of laboring men, they have
merely swelled the profits of stock
holders. Gore also pointed out that
neither the house bill o the senate
bill has made an important reduction
on any article covered by the textile
schedule.
Dividends ranging from 67h per
cent. to "a per cent. we're shown to be
common among the big cotton mill
corporations. Net earnings are of
course greater than the dividends,
and some of the corporations have
SURPRISES in excess of their capital
stock.

People's Ewes Are Opened.

While the principal product OF the
tariff revision experiment is a failure,
some of the by-products are valuable.
One of these is the demonstration OF
the worthlessness of platform pledges
and party slogans, and this demon
stration hits Republicans and Demo
Gratis alike. On this head there is lit
tie to choose between the shameless
ness with which certain Republican
senators have r%epudiated the cam
paign promises of revision downward,
and the audacity with which certain
Democratic senators have ignored the
oft-repeated declarations of their
party against class legislation and in
favor of tariff for revenue only. These
two factions, each disappearing
the party to which it ~professedly be-
longs, have stood shoulder to shoulder
in the disreputable work of sacrific-
ing the interests of the consumer 70
those OF the privileged classes. A dis
cussion that has uncovered these CO.
conspirators against the interests of
their respective parties cannot be said
to have been entirely Improbable

AS STRAIGHT MEN SEE HIM.
The Dead-Beat Is Probably the Most
Despised Creature That Walks
the Earth.

No mar is wholly free from sin, but
so many lesser evils are tolerated that
a man should hesitate long before be-
coming a dead-beat. Criminals are de-
spised and abhored, but to the dead
beat all that is coming, as well as the
contempt of his fellow men. There is
something at once SO mean and SO lit
tie In taking advantage Of the conf
dence which comes with friendship
that the hand of every man is turned
against a dead-beat as soon as his
reputation is well established. The
dead-beat may fondly imagine he is
living easy and making money with
out work, and, of course, he takes no
account of the confidence he violates
and the hardships he inficts on 9TH
ers. But, that aside, he really has a
harder time than the man who is
honest and fair. He is compelled to
move a good deal and peace of mind
he knows not. Like other types of
crooks, he doesn't prosper, and his
finish is more unpleasant than the be-
ginning.-Atchison Globe.

WHEN WILL IT STOP?
INCREASE IN COST OF LIVING
HAS BEEN CONSTANT.
racs Known to Every Housewife and
Corroborated by Bradstreet's Fig
ures, and the %PIundering
Is to Go On.

Every housewife knows that in the
last few years there has been a rapid
increase in the cost of living. 1t has
been the cause of general complaint
10 the families of men of small
means, day laborers, mechanics,
clerks and employees on limited salar.
les, high prices have made the daily
problems of existence more and more
difficult.
Few women, however, even the
most careful housekeepers, have kept
account Of the rate of increase in
prices beyond noting a steady ad.
n in domestic expenses. They
have kept no figures for proofs. But
Bradstreet's figures, which no sensi-
BILE person will deny. furnish the
proofs.
According to Bradstreet's, between
July 1, 1896, and July l, 1909, bread
stuffs and live stock have more than
doubled in price, provisions, fruits.
hides and leather have increased over
SO per cent. and textiles 60 per cent.
Taking separate items that figure in
the cost of the average poor mans
table, on July /, 1909, flour cost 100
per cent. more than on July J., 1896,
beef over 80 per cent, pork about $50
per cent, mutton 1875 per cent, hams
SO 1-3 per cent, bacon over 10 per
cent, lard Over $50 per cent, butter
20 per cent, and potatoes over 1870
per cent.
Even within the last year the in
crease in prices has gone on almost
without interruption. Flour has risen
nearly 60 per cent, pork over 20 per
cent, mutton nearly the same, hams
almost 10 per cent, butter Is per cent.
and coffee over % per cent. Beef is
one of the few articles which did not
materially increase in price.
These are hard facts which there
is no getting around. Retail prices
vary more or less from month to
month according to locality and the
character of dealers establishments:
but Bradstreet's figures are based on
market reports which are beyond con-
troversy. They may not appeal to
stand-pat prOtectiOnists like Senator
Aldrich and Senator Lodge, who, oc-
cupied with serving powerful inter
cts, contemptuously remark that there
exists no such person as the consum-
er, but they justify the popular out
cry against excessive prices, which
can be only partially met by an hon
est downward revision of the tariff
designed to reduce the cost of living
to those whose earnings barely suffice
for their families support.

FOR RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE.
Clifford Pinchot Seems to Be Correct
in Position Taken Opposing Sec
9 rotary Ballinger.

The issue that has arisen between
Clifford Pinchot, chief of the National
Forestry Service, and Secretary of the
Interior Ballinger has not been very
clearly defined in public statements.
But it is pretty we'll understood that
Mr.. Pinchot stands for the reserva.
ton of the forests still under govern.
ment control and the highly important
water powers, included in the forests.
for the public benefit and use. There
are limitations that Secretary Balm
ger has opened to private entry valu-
able grants that may aid the absorb
tion of water power and forests by
private corporations.
Without undertaking to adjudicate
any of the particular points at dispute
between MI. Pinchot and his superior
it is pertinent to keep it in the public
mind that the preservation OF the for
ests and the protection Of water power
against corporate absorption are OF
the utmost Importance. The full mag
nitude of this may not be fully

GENTLY realized to recognize the duty
of an officer in immediate charge of
those resources to protest against
acts facilitating their engrossal, and
emphasize that protest by resigna-
ton, if necessary.
It is unfortunate for Secretary Bal
fingers position in this matter that
he comes from a state where special
and powerful interests have been ac-
tive in Selling the forest and water
power resources. That is not of itself
sufficient reason for charging him
with favor to those interests. But II
is enough to warrant very close scru-
tiny of acts that may break down the
conservation policy.

Died in Good Company.

A clergyman, who was not averse
to an occasional glass, hired an Irish
man to clean out his cellar. The Irish
mar began his work. He brought
forth a lot of empty whisky bottles,
and as he lifted each one looked
through it at the sun. The preacher,
who was walking on the lawn, saw
him and said: They are all dead
ones, Pat" They are?" said Pat.
Well, there is one good thing about
it-they all had the minister with
them when they were dying.'-Tit-

Consumers Pay the Duty.

Trade is exchange of goods. We
send goods to Britain-wheat, meats,
cheese, all sorts. Britain sends goods
to China and Japan. They in turf
send tea and silks to the United
States. The exchange of commodi-
ties goes IN, if not between two coun-
tries, then between three or four
or five, and the clearing houses ad-
Just the bank balances. And so. in
the end, trade laughs at tariffs, and
the consumers pay the duty"
This is a sober, practical statement
of fact we cannot escape.

CHILD HAD SIXTY BOILS.
And Suffered Annually with a Red
Scald-Like Humor on Her Head.
Troubles Cured by Cuticura.

when my little Vivian was about
six months old her head broke out in
boils. She had about sixty in all and
I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment which cured her entirely.
Some time later a humor broke out be-
hind her ears and spread up on to
her head until it was nearly half Gov
cred. The humor looked like a scald,
very red with a sticky, clear fluid COM
Ing from it. This occurred every
spring. I always used Cuticura Soap
and Ointment which never failed to
heal it up. The last time it broke
out it became so bad that I was dis
couraged. But I continued the use Of
Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resell
vent until she was we'll and has never
been troubled in the last two years.
