Wlthered IN Its search and the dear circle of those
who would have shared it is narrowing to end;
while long ere riches have been accumulated the joys
to be bought with them pail upon jaded mind.
The pleasure that resides in art is identical with
that which dwells in nature. What the writer
painter does is to catch for all the vision
or emotion impression that yielded pain pleasure
to him. In seeming paradox it may be said that he
singles out and stays the pregnant moments for the
only material he can work is his experience
The life he has lived the beauty he seen the Joy
PAIN love, regret hope, riumphs he has felt
the dreams and fancies that have to him-these
are what he may set forth in his chosen medium.
Everything born of earth is more less subject to
potent wtchery. The lady of desire sings to in
the wind and in the voices of breaking and the
murmur of running streams. She weeps in the falling
rain and smiles in moonlight and sunshine. Her dia
dem is jewel work of stars and veil is of white
clouds. In summer she clothes herself with radiant
gold and green and purple, and in winter with an
august mantle of white edged with dusly brown where
the woods And whosoever shall most ittngly tell
the tale of his love for her and sing her smiles and
bewai her frown and lament for that she is cruel and
rejoice because she is kind he is the true artist for
nature is the inspiration; art the song.

Not n Trade Inducer.

Obviously the maximum and mini
mum clause of the tariff bill Is not a
measure intended to induce trade, but,
If possible, to enforce it. 1t presents
to our possible customers not an olive
branch, but club. 1t is intended as
one more burden on foreign commerce
to be borne by the American people,
burden that may be laid at any mo-
ment, without serious warning, with
necessarily disturbing and possibly
ruinous force. The merchant, for ex-
ample. who is doing fairly paying
business in imported crockery carry
ing duty of SO per cent may find the
cost of his goods increased by 25 per-
cent, and all possible profits wiped 64

lower than, the duties on prunes from
California, and this though California
prunes may not go on the French
market.-New York Times.

RIGHT SIDED TONGUE.


Is the Tongue of the TaIkatIve Man
Person Who Can't Keep Secret.
From the observations made by a
physiognomist it appears that the
tongue when quite still can be as
eloquent in giving it's owner away as
when 1t is waggng sixteen to the
dozen. This is hard fact for a
silent man to swallow-in silence.
His only remedy is to keep well so
as to obviate the necessary injuno-

A Scientific Tariff.

A scientific protective tariff should
bear equally on all classes, and 1t
should avoid privilege and special ia
vor as an economic pestilence.
No man of the Aldrich type will
ever frame for the American people
a tariff like this. No partisan or sec
tional attorney is fit to plead or to
plan protective schedules for an entire
country.
An intelligent and impartial tariff
compassion, always desirable. has been
proved by the present fiasco at Wash
ington to be an absolute necessity.
The American sincerely. trusts that the
tariff conferees will promptly recog-
hize this necessity and provide for a
permanent tariff commission in the
future in the completed bill.

SOME MARRIED MED1TAr1oNs.
By Clarence L. Cullen.
~N~~~~~

An easy way to flatter the average
woman is to tell her that she has a
pair of inscrutable eyes.
The fellow who brags II take my
wife with ME wherever l go" forgets
to add that his wife sees to 1t that
he does.
Another thing that you live. to re.
greet is having told her, during the
courtship, that she was far, far too
good for you.
The woman with unlovely feet con-
siders the girl who goes awarding in
the creek in the country perfectly
shameless creature.
When woman brags to her cronies
that her husband is terrifically jeal-
Gus of her, it's a sure sign that he has
reason to be, but isn't.
One of the penalties of knowing a
lot of women is that they all insist
upon sending you RATS of picture
postal cards as soon as they travel
as much as nineteen miles away from
home.
In the course of time the married
man wakes up to it that the languish-
ing dolls are only kidding him when
they say to him: "Deah me- it really
seems as If all the really nice men are
married."
Every honest, generous chap has his
moments when he sort of surveys his
wife out of the tail of his eye and
says to himself: ITS wonder to
me, b'jinks. that the little woman has
been able to put up with me as long
as she has!"
When you spend about fourteen
minutes hooking or buttoning her up
In the back. and then get 1t wrong, it

The Roclsefeller Idea.

When devout and patriotic Ameri-
can citizen has acquired a little nest
egg of s4O0,0O0.OOO or s5O0,OOO,O00, it
is to be expected that he will look
with suspicion and distrust upon
federal income tax.
Mr.. Rockefeller's protest against the
income tax is founded on the strong
est objection that can be urged against
any tax-which is to say, he does not
wish to pay it. AS the master Of
Standard Oil phrases it, when man
has accumulated sum of money with
in the law-that is to say, in legally
honest way-the people no longer have
any right to share in the earnings re-
sulting from that accumulation"
For the same reason, we take 1T
when man has earned dollar in
the sweat of his face, which is the
most legally honest way that it is
possible to earn dollar, the people
have no right to take part of it away
from him in tariff taxes on food and
clothing: but that is what Mr.. Rookie
feller's party of great moral ideas has
been doing ever since Mr.. Rockefeller

Leading Issue. In 1910.

Democratic issues in the Congress
sional elections of 1910 will not be
dictated by Republican newspaper or
gans. The Republican party can help
in shaping those issues only by the
quality and extent of its sins against.
the fundamental principles of right
government.
If the wrangling conferees send to
President Taft tariff bill which gives
the lie to the promises of downward
revision that were made by the party
last year, the tariff will be one of the
foremost issues between the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties in 1910.
If the President should sign such
bill. Republican reputation of its
pledges would be complete; If he
should veto it, the party's incapacity
to effect a popular reform would be
demonstrated. The Republican party
having failed to amend the Dingley
act as the people want it amended, the
Democratic party may with confidence
offer to undertake the task.
The Denver platform demands Inn
mediate revision of the tariff down
wards and favors a policy of gradual
reductions that will lead to the restor-
alton of the tariff to revenue basis.
The special session has made no test
of Democratic loyalty to these declara-
tons. Democratic members of Con-
gress at the beginning of the session
realized that they were confronted
by an unbreakable monopoly protec-
ZIONIST conspiracy. Powerless to gain
the large advantages of real reform,
they tried to hold for their constitu-
ents some of the small advantages Of
vicious system. In the elections of
next year Democratic candidates for
Congress will be committed to the pol
icy of going for the larger benefits
of low tariff, leaving local interests to
the test of reform principles.
And yet there may be issues in 1910
more vital than the tariff. The pres
ervation of our system OF government
Is threatened by Republican invasion
Of the rights and powers of the states.
The credit of the government is under
mined by Republican extravaganza and
by the setting of private interets be-
fore public interests in revenue legis-
lation. The old standards of integrity
are cynically thrust aside by filling
the public service with political favor
ties who render no equivalent for their
pay. There will be no lack of issues
in 1870.
