Guaranteed Goods.

Widely advertised goods are to all
lntents and purposes guaranteed goods.
Advertising is of value to the seller
only when the wares exploited prove
10 De fully up to the buyers expecta-
tions. Money spent in inducing the
public to try inferior articles is money
thrown away, because it helps to make
enemies instead of friends for the adj.
Vertlser. So well do manufacturers
ana retailers understand this that the
mere TACT that they invest in publicity
is proof positive of their confidence in
their products.
1t is ten times safer to buy articles
mat nave an advertising backing than
10 purchase those whose sponsors
nave no reputation to maintain and no
advertising investment to protect.

1--WE have it on highest authority
that there was confusion of tongues
at Babel" said the minority leader
And an ordinary observer can easily
find OUT that there is a confusion of
terms hereabouts. This confusion Of
terms, if not the source of all Our
woes. is certainly the source of many
of them. Men talk volubly about want
ing a protective rate when as matter
of fact what they really want is II
revenue tariff.
"The democratic doctrine is tariff
for revenue. That one idea runs
through all democratic platforms ano
through all democratic speeches-thar

made by men who are democrats OIL
the tariff question The idea has beer,
stated in different language in differ
ent platforms, varying somewhat &C.
cording to the varying literary tastes
of the various trainers thereof; but in
all of them the revenue idea is domi-
nant.
No democratic platform ever yet de-
clared in favor of protection as the
dominant idea in tariff plank.
''On the other hand the republican
platform has gradually evoluted into a
declaration in which protection is the
dominant idea. Any one can easily
trace this gradual evolution by exam
lining the republican platforms from
1850 to 1908 both inclusive. The plat
form of 1908 took the most advanced
grounds of all republican platforms oy

emily in robust health and who rarely
complain about their physical condi
ton, often collapse suddenly, long be-
fore reaching old age. This is a fact
open to the observation of all. In the
former cases there is the capacity, in
herited perhaps, for long life; in the
latter there may be, due to inheritance
|also, inherent lack of such capacity.
Then, again, persons who are in ill
health are less likely to expose them
lselves to unfavorable conditions than
Iare those whose strength and vigor
make them feel able to endure almost
anything without apprehension of in
furious results.
The predecessor of the present pope
lived to good old age and was in
possession of his faculties to the last.
Leo XIII. was a man of unusual abil-
lity. He was not only fine scholar
land an author, but he was man of
broad views, a liberal spirit and states
manlike qualities. Pope Plus is not
the equal Intellectually of his famous
predecessor, whose pontifical reign was
marked by so many memorable events
but the present pope is much admired
and loved for his fine personal traits
his zeal for the church, and his cour-
age in defending the policies which he
believes are for the best interests of
the true faith.
The pope is no longer the great
political power that he was during
former pontifical reigns, but as the
head of the church whose adherents
are numbered by millions and who
lgive him their allegiance in all civil
lied lands, he continues a great per
Isonage and his spiritual rule affects
the whole world. People of all faiths
are interested in his health and what

first time she had been asked to visit
her cousin. He had seemed not to
mind. Perhaps he had so much money
himself that he did not care whether
the woman he married had a dowry
or not.
AS she leaned back in her chair she
was wondering how 1t would seem to
always have plenty of money. to buy
ones frocks at the best shops. to live
In house where the work was done
as by magic. to go about in blue and
gold motor and be able to hear all the
best music.
Just that afternoon Cousin Nell had
said when she came in to inspect her
toilet:
You understand, Mildred, that Mr..
Hubbard will have something to say to
you before you so home. There is but
one answer for you to make, and l am
sure he expects that one"
"But-but I'm not certain l care for
him enough" Mildred had stammered.
Nell had stared at her.
My dear child! DO you think that
any one in these days marries for love
aloneT"
Il didn't know" the girl said hum
bly,. Then she thought of her Cousins
elderly husband. who was seldom Wis
ible save at breakfast time, and the
hitherto concealed reason for Nelrs
strange marriage was suddenly reveal
ed to her.
Mildred had indeed experienced
much since coming into her Cousins
house. None of the golden rules which
her parents had taught her were ap-
plicable here Other ideals were cher
| ished. other aims kept In sight. at
first it had been very mystifying to the
girl to find that the teachings of her
whole lifetime were of no account. 1t
was as if she had taken great pains to
acquire Latin only to find that French
was demanded of her.
Her father and mother had married
for love. Money they knew to be q

happy without The poorest person

The summer girls are wearing,
And as look / cannot blame
A man for softly swearing.
What inartisttc rage possessed
The mind which this creation
80 hideous and III advised
Inflicted on the nation?
They surely must have been conceived.
With neither judge nor jury.
By one who as he brought them forth
Was in a nightmare fury
Or by some person crossed in love,
Unlucky in his wooing,
And took this method just to spite
The girls for his undoing.
He must have spent month, or more
In fiendish cogitating
Before he framed the shape for which
The people were not waiting.
And when the month was at an end.
To make the ugly stronger
And much less pleasing to the,eye,
He put in two weeks longer.
We first endure. then pity comes,
Swift followed by embracing,
The proverb says, and that may be
The thing that we are facing.
But let US hope we never will
With all our hearts adore them,
But keep our heads and speak our minds
While we have breath to score them.

Everybody was slipping tea and nib
bling cakes save Mildred. For her tea
and cakes had no charm, perhaps be-
cause she had poured the one and dis
pensed the other steadily for the past
hour.
She leaned back, in her chair behind
the tea table absently watching the
little crowd of fashionably dressed
men and women that were moving
about the parlors. yet conscious never
theless that the man beside her was
observing her and enjoying her eXpe-
rience from his own standpoint, which
was SO different from her own that
she often wondered how he could find
anything I'm her to interest him.
In a low voice he was telling her
about the people before her eyes-how
the woman in gray velvet had recently
come into fortune. how another wo-
man In rather shabby silk with Won
derful silver fox furs had lost hers.
how Mrs. Poynter had been Mrs.
Somebody before divorce released
her and how the girl in blue was sad
ly puzzled as to whether she would be
happier with IN American because she
loved him or with an English eld-
est son because be was heir to a
title.
She listened carelessly. scarcely re-

with its own affairs. What did she
care about these people, most of whom
she had not seen before and might not
see again? And what did they care
about her?
She was merely their hostess coun-
try cousin who poured tea and to
whom Hills Hubbard was somewhat
attentive. Cousin Nell had seen that
her frock was appropriate, and she
herself had been long enough in the
gay world to learn that the majority
Yet Hills Hubbard seemed to judge
her in different wise

Cousin Nell had advised the first day
Mildred was in the house.

Because he is good match. as good

very much in my world, Mildred. II

Certainly 1t seemed that she had

HONOLULU, August lS.--The trial of the leaders of the sugar strike con spracy is nearing an end. William A. Kinney made the opening argument for the prosecution today, speaking for six hours, while Joseph Lightfoot, attor- ney for the Japanese defendants, re- sponded.
 Kinney, in the course of argument, expressed the view that the strike of plantation workers probably would prove beneficial to the territory, hay ing caused movement that would end the domination of Japanese labor in the islands and give more encourage ment to the citizen class.
 He declared that the plans of the strike leaders on trial involved con fiseation of the plantations, the Jap anese hoping to get complete control.
 They also expected to involve the Japanese government, he asserted.

ISSUED CHECK WHEN UNDER|NFLUENCE

so SAYS MRS. CONAN IN EXPLA- NATION OF CONDUCT HELD
 TO GRAND JURY

Mrs. Catherine Cowan, charged with passing fictitious check for $l0O on Carl Greedy some weeks ago, was held to answer to the grand jury by Judge Hnson Thomas yesterday, on $30O bonds.
 Greedy claimed that Mrs. Cownn, for whom he had previously cashed mum Der of smaller checks which proved to be good, came to him some time ago and asked him to honor check for $l00 She claimed, according to the prosecut ing witness, that she had $S,000 in the bank, but that she did not wish to draw on that money, and asked that the check be not cashed for several weeks.
 Greedy advanced $54 in money and merchandise before he became suspi cious and turned in the check. It proved to be worthless.
 After telling several different stories as to how Greedy happened to come ntc possession of the check, Mrs. CowaI finally admitted that she had given hin the paper, but that she was somewhat under the influence of nquor at the time.
 The woman offered to make th' amount good, but the court could no permit criminal prosecution to b' stopped and the matter was referred to the grand jury for further investiga tion.
