formerly taxed at SITS per dozen
pairs will be taxed at 81; others now
taxed at $2.25; will be taxed $5,05, and
so on; but through all this schedule
of iniquity-and with others it is
doubtless the same-the increase is in
every case the greatest on the goods
worn by those least able to pay the
increased cost. This is indeed the un-
DERIVING principle" of the sacred pro-
tective tariff.
Chicago dealers, among them Mar
shall Field & Co., tell the Tribune OF
that city that under the Payne. bill
they will have to make the following
changes in price in different kinds OF
gloves. From IS cents to s1.s5 or 81
a pair, from $3.50 to So, from $3.50 to
$3.50. and $3.50 to Sand the percen
| tage of increases for cheaper gloves
will be even greater. And this is one
specimen Of the tariff reform that Mr..
Payne is presenting to the country.
AS to hosiery, statement By
Marshall Field & Co. says:
"A group of hosiery manufacturers
have received 20 per cent increase
over the prevailing so per cent rate
making a total of 80 per cent against
foreign goods. This would exclude all
foreign rs cent hosiery, and would en-
able domestic manufacturers to raise
their prices proportionately. At 35
cents and so cents the public would
have the option of accepting an infer
Tor foreign article to that sold hereto
fore. or buying domestic substitute
which is less desirable"
Does hosiery need this increased
protection? The domestic output in
creased 100 per cent from 1890 to 1905
and greatly since; it is now about
$60,000,000, while imports are only
about one tenth the domestic consump-
| ton, and have increased but about &c
per cent in eight years. This little
competition is no more than a healthy
stimulus. About so per cent of all the
hosiery used in this country is sold
by one commission house, and it is
this house that is asking and getting
this additional license to rob- 1t is only
| fair and reasonable to ask: How
| much is it paying? And to whom?
II the glove trust and the hosiery
trust can thus get enormous increases
| Of protection, what will greater trusts
get? Standard Oil already has SO pei
cent protection; we may look for this
to be raised somehow to 1879.

GLOVES AND HOSIERY.

III his acceptance speech Mr. Taft
said that some duties ought to be
raised, but he did not mean duties on
gloves, hosiery and other necesSaries
on which the duties were already far
too high, says the Oregon Journal. The
increases of duties in the Payne bill
are very suspicious, and it is difficult
to understand them except upon the
theory of absolute corruption.
The glove making interests. for a
conspicuous example, have enjoyed,
rs the New York Times expresses it,
ample and even extravagant protec-
ton during the last dozen years. The
provisions are complex and only I'M
derstood by the trade, but the average
tax on imported gloves has been Abs
per cent. Yet experts employed by the
ways and means committee testified
that the skill of American glove
makers was equal and in some points
superior to any foreign workmanship.
The annual output of the industry has
been over $17,000,100, and the profits
have been very large. Now the Payne
bill not only reduces the duty on skins
used in making gloves % per cent, but
II increases the present duties on diff
ferent varieties of gloves from 80 to
60, to l02, TO 12S, to $50 and to ia per
cent.

GOOD ROADS is THE
POPULAR THEME NOW
Convic: Camps Vii! Make Better
Highways In State More
Feasible Next Year.

Occasioned by the fact that the
state recently passed law for the es-
adjustment of rock quarries, rock
crushing machinery and convict camps
for the purpose of supplying material
for road construction, the question of
good roads and cheap ones is before
every enthusiast of this subject in the
country, and it will probably not be
long before the matter is taken hold
of and worked for all there is in it.
1t Is doubtful if this work is made
available for the present year, but by
next year there will no doubt be sew
eral of these camps established in the
state, supplying cheap material in the
construction of macadam roads. When
supplied by convict labor, the material
is reduced TO practically nothing in
cost and provides at the same time the
opportunity for many people to bid
for the work without the handicap of
providing expensive machinery for
preparing the material. Then too, the
rail roads OF the state will be asked to
name as low rate as can possibly be
made for the hauling of such material
from these different quarries to the
point of construction.
The Great Northern and the Nor h
ern Pacific have already offered a rate
of one cent per ton a mile and this
fact alone makes the proposition well
worth considering.
Sixty per cent of the cost of good
road is in the material used and it has
been estimated by the State Good
Roads association that the cost of such
material can be reduced from SO to
IS per cent through these rock quar-
ries and convict camps, provided suit
able rates of transportation can be Sc
cured. The remaining cost of the road
could then be further reduced by COM
pc i've bidding which will follow the
lack of need for expensive machinery
to prepare the material.
When asked concerning this matter,
John McCaw, county auditor and an
enthusiastic good roads booster said,
1T is a splendid thing and should re-
ceive the hearty support Of the COM
munity. If We could use the rock quar-
ries near Touchet, distance of about
"a miles from here, we could dump
rock in the city at the cost of "a cents
a ton, if the railroad rates hold good,
and in this way, it would be only a
matter Of time until the whole coun-
try would have the best of roads,"

SPRING CLEAN UP.

The annual spring clean up is once
more with u.s." This war on filth
waged but once a year hardly seems
adequate. but it is possibly the best
solution of the dirt and rubbish probA
lem compatible with the perennially
limited finances of every big city. 1t
is we'll that, for a few dayn or weeks
at least, the city should sweep its
back yards and clean UP the alleys
and haul away the tin cans and the
winters accommodations. But it is
difficult for the citizen who tries to
keep his premises looking half way
tidy at all times to understand why
there should not be monthly or
weekly clean up, why the little heaps
Of refuse should ever be allowed to
grow into big heaps at all.
An annual municipal clean up is
somewhat like an individual monthly
bath or weakly meal. Cleanliness
should never be postponed. For IL
months in the year the rubbish is
permitted 20 accumulate unmOlested
Everybody knows that at the stated
time the city will come around with
it's wagons and haul away the stuff
Those who live next to vacant lots are
almost encouraged to dump their. tir
pans and Old mattresses onto the 9TH
er fellows premises the other fellow
being in a large percentage of cases
L nonresident who does nothing what
ever toward nttering up his property
There is only one clean up month il
the year. and the city'S wagons have
no sooner disappeared around the cor
ner than the work of fittering up thu
alley and the lot begin anew, to con
tinue for another year and until thu
annual clean up time comes again
The system has its faults, though an.
money spent for municipal groomin,
is well spent. The most serious draw
back to the present methods is tina
the money is not spent often enough
to make a really clean and WHOLESOME
city.

CONQUERING DISEASE.

A distinguished London physician
who has wide reputation among the
members of his profession, makes the
prediction that within the next gen.
GRAFTON the dread white plague
will have been completely conquered
by science and will disappear The
prophecy is possibly a little too OBJ
timistic, but there is no good reason
to doubt that the conquest of the
races deadliest foe among diseases is
only a question of time The state
ment, coming from such high au-
thority, is much more comforting
than the sensational announcement OF
the discovery of serums and devices
which are. infallible. So many of the
latter have been held out to. the suf-
ferers of the world that each new re-
port is held in doubt until the false
hopes have been sifted from the real
tiles.
But there can be no challenging the
fact that science has accomplishe !
what might well pass for miracles
within the past half century. The at
tention o fthe medical authorities OF
the civilized world has been focused
upon tuberculosis for many years. an6
these professional researches have
been abetted by the systematic co.
operation of the civil authorities. To-
day the entire world is fighting the
disease, with every reasonable hope OF
success in the not distant future.
Along analogous lines similar eff
forts have been crowned with victory
Smallpox has been taken out of the
list OF deadly plaques. Cholera an6
yellow fever have been robbed al
their most malignant potency. Hy.
drophobia mas been reduced from E
malady of indescribable horror to ar
easily preventable disease and one
very generally durable when prevent
I've measures have been taken il
time. The terrible Roman fever O
the Italian marshes and the deadl,
sleeping sickness of the African
Jungles have yielded appreciably t.
the methods of modern science. Nh
| merous diseases of children. which
half century ago were regarded a.
deadly, have been Invested of thei
greatest terrors. These and man
other achievements of science indi
cate the ultimate conquest of TIL

GO ON WITH THE INVESTIGATION

There doesn't seem to be any reason
why the legislative committee, ap-
pointed to inquire into certain state
offices involved in public scandal.
should postpone it's labors until the
middle of April, says the P-I The
death of the governor is an excuse.
not a reason, for postponement of the
work The work of the state can stop
for no one. Neither extreme courtesy
nor great sympathy affords sufficient
warrant for any delay, least of all a
delay of seventh of the whole time
allowed for the work
The committee ought to get to work
as soon as possible. There has al
ready been to much delay in this mat
ter Two of the most important office $
in this state are involved in public
scandal Charges have been made
against the president of the Pullman
college. The hospital for the insane
in eastern Washington is also involved
in serious charges.
The people of this state want to
know the facts, and all the facts. in
these several instances where wrong
doing has been specifically charged.
The legislative committee should
begin now to probe into the insurance
department and into the office of Sec
rotary of state. Schively and Nichols
are under suspicion; if they are not
guilty. they should be cleared of the
faint and odium put upon them, and
if they are guilty the people want to
know it as soon as possible.
The legislative committee should get
to its labors. There is no sufficient
reason for postponing the work.

INDIANS AFTER
CANVAS SUPPLY
Following Custom Established BY An.
cestors Years Ago, Redmen Search
for Green's


Following the custom established
among the Umatilla and the Snake
river tribes of Indians many years ago,
the vanguard of the red men passed
through the city his morning on their
way to the headwaters Of Mill creek
in search of camos and wild onions
which begin to sprout with the open
ing of spring weather. Every season
the Indians begin to migrate to the
sections where these delicacies may be
obtained and for several months they
do nothing but dig these roots, in this
way laying up a stock of provisions
that lasts them through the winter
season.
The usual places where they may go
are on the brakes and head waters of
the streams flowing through the valley
and in some cases they may be seen as
far back in the mountains as the Sal
mon river country. While the bucks
sleep under the shade of the fir trees
and only rouse themselves from time
to time in order to keep the feminine
element supplied with the latest in the
way of fresh meat, etc, the squaws. do
the heavy work and by the end of the
growing season have enough provi-
sons on hand to enable them to keep
their lord and masters in a contented
frame of mind until the next year
opens with it's accompanying free
lunch table.

Attractivenesc to a cer.ain degree
is an e.usive quality Some of its ele-
nientS cannot be analysed. But there
are some things that go to make it up
on which one can put definite finger.
For instance, I think the way girl
sits in her chair may add or detract
from her general appearance. A girl
who settles down on the end of her
spine spoils the effect of the most per-
feet figure. A straight though easy po-
sition in ones chair is as charming as
it is healthy.
A graceful walk does much to make
a girl attractive Very few women
walk WELL l had that brought home to
me one day when an old Italian fruit
woman wi h her baske. of fruit upon
her head was crossing the Office where
was writing. 1t came over me sud-
denly that no one among. my ac-
quaintances moved with such easy
grace as that old woman.
But even if they do not come nat
urally 10 us, graceful movements can
be acquired. Any gymnastic course in
cludes lessons in aesthetic dancing,
which is splendid training for the
woman who wishes to learn to walk
gracefully.
A pleasing voice in itself is as great
charm to many peopla as a pretty
face. This attraction, 90, is seldom a
natural gift with American women.
But, like grace of movement, it can be
acquired by almost anyone who cares
to put her mind to it.
If you have not a pleasing voice,
sometimes when you are speaking
suddenly, listen to your own tones. II
they are too loud, modulate them; if
too high, lower them. Do this fire.
quently and you will be surprised at
the change you can effect. Voice ex-
ercisess, TOO, such as are given by
singing teachers, are invaluable In
producing a pleasant speaking voice.
Many society women who have no
special talent for music, take singing
lessons simply to improve their speak.
ing voices.
A musical laugh is ano her great
charm. l heard a man say once: Il
don't go to see Maude Adams act,
though 1 know she's a great actress.
II pay my two dollars chiefly to hear
her laugh. And a musical laugh can
be cultivated by the same tactics l
suggested for the voice.
These arc a few-a very few, OF
course-of the many little things that
go to make up the sum to al of at
traction" And they are all charms
within reach of almost any girl.
So cease your weeping, little maiden
of the straight hair and curly nose.
cease envying your lucky sister who
properly reverses those adjectives in
her person, and Try to be attractive.
Some day you wi be more charm
ing than She.

is only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the

When this tube is inflamed you have a

when it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
