A Bar

(The saloon is sometimes called a
bar, that's true)
A bar to heaven, a door to hell
Whoever named it, named it well
A bar to manliness and wealth,
A door to want and broken health,
A bar to honor, pride and fame,
A door to sin, and grief and shame
A bar to hope, bar to prayer,
A door to darkness and despair.
A bar to honored, useful life,
A door to brawling senseless strife;
A bar to all that true and brave,
A door to every drunkard S grave.
A bar to joys that home impart,
A door to tears and aching hearts;
A bar to heaven a door to hell
Whoever named it, named it well.

Over Thirty.Fivs Years

In 1872 there was great deal Of
plarrhoea, dvsentery and cholera infan-
tum. 1t was at this time that Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy was first brought into use. 1t
proved more successful than any other
remedy or treatment, and has for
thirty five years maintained that
record. From a small beginning its
sale and use has extended to every part
of the United states and to many for.
eign countries. Nine druggist out of ten
will recommend it when their opinion
is asked, although they have other
medicines that pay them greater pro-

Economical Feed For Horses

Now that feed wheat, oats, barley,
etc, is high and so many have to buy
every bushel they feed, let us tell YOU
how to make a feed that is hard to beat,
is ready at all times and is substa initial
feed, and is made thus:
Take two tons of nice bright wheat
or oat straw, run it through a feed
cutter, cut it in short pieces from half
inch to one inch long. Then take
ton of mil feed and mix the two thor.
oughly in box or bin: sprinkliug IT,
very lightly with warm water The
three tons of feed will require about
thirty pounds of salt, which also wants
to be thoroughly mixed with feed
After all is mixed cover over and let
stand a couple of weeks before begin
feeding it, that the salt may take ef-
feet.

Washington, and won the most
famous congressional baseball game
on record by the thrilling score Of
20 to 10. The minority wanted to
make it 10 to !, but the republic
cans defeated that proposition once
again.
The democratic victory-the first
of the extra session was followed
by a cloudburst. The deluge did
not deCend until the Thinning bat
tie had ended, with the stout mem
bers all putting and groggy from
running bases and chasing balls
and the lean members prone on
the grass from exhausted energy.
The crowd which witnessed this
game was equally weary from
laughter The throng present in
cluded most of the distinguished
government officials. President
Taft did not attend he was at
Chevy Chase with Vice President
Sherman playing golf.
The nearest the newspaper scores
could come to the base hits and err
rors was to give the democrats
twenty-three of the former-no
Jest intended and five of the latter.
The republicans are credited with
twenty safe hits and nine errors
The real reason there Weren t more
errors was because the players side
stepped the hard ones and Couldn' t
reach the long ones.

make up the price of cloth. Fur
ther we regard his proposed rates
on all the other products of wool
in the various stages of manufac-
ture as equally fair.
The foregoing statements are
made from direct experience in the
manufacturing, wholesaling and
retailing Of clothing and are not the
averments of theorists, The mem
bership of the National Association
of Clothiers is largely Republican,
protectionist, but we are confront
ed by an acute situation which
forces is to demand a change in
the tariff to enable us to clothe the
great masses of the people salts
faCtorily at prices within their
reach. We therefore urge the
Congress to take this action which
will benefit all the people to whom
our manufacture is prime neCes-
sity.

citation of Clothiers Chairman.

OF the clothing produced. As the
S'"cullc covering this industry
mas however, been adopted by the
senate Committee of the Whole,
ana as 1t Is practically a continual
'loll OF the old Dlngley schedule,
the National Association of Cloth
ierS feel that they must file their
protest before its adoption by the
senate. This protest is not being
made III any narrow or selfish
spirit. The National Association
OF NIothierS are Cognizant of the
tact that If the tariff charges should
De lowered, their members would
be the first to suffer by the reduc-
ton, as all of them have stocks of
clothing as we'll as woolens on
hand and under contract which
would have to be sold at a loss in
proht upon the basis of the readjust-
mcnt of prices which would natur-
ally follow any reduction. The
consumer, however, would be the
immediate and permanent gamer.
The National Association of
Clothiers are willing that the pres
cnt tariff on clothing should be
reduced in proportion to any down
ward change which may be made
III the wool schedule.
The clothing manufacturers seek
no advantages for their own trade
although it is a cardinal principle
of protection to admit raw material
at as low rates of duty as possible,
and even free of duty, and to in
crease the duty as the material is
deduCed from one stage of manu-
facture to another, yet, reCogniz-
ing the necessity of giving the
wool grower a liberal share of pro-
lection, we heartily endorse the
amendment of Senator Robt M.
LaFollette, providing for duty of
forty FIVE per cent, ad valorem on
raw wool, which is one Of the high
est rates of duty levied on any raw
material and has the advantage Of
doing away with the inequalities of
the present specific rates, which
bear heaviest on the poorer man s
wool and lightest on the finer vari-
cites. We also regard the duty of
sixty-hye per cent. ad valorem on
all WOODEN cloths, proposed by
Senator LaFollette, as amply pro-
tective and fair TO the manufacture
ers of wooden cloth since it fully
compensates them for the duty on

Earnings Versus Expenses.

1t is interesting to note that during
the past five years the operating ex-
penses of the electric railway COM
panies have increased practically 8 per
cent more than the earnings from oper-
alton, or 1876 per cent instead Of $50
per cent, and that taxes and fixed
charges increased practically 10 per
cent more than earnings from opera
ton, so that the net income Of the
electric railway companies shows an
increase Of only 31.8 per cent, or less
than half that of the gross. as COM
pared with that of FIVE years ago.
The wage earners, however,
have gained per individual by this
change more than the salaried en-
ployees, as their wages have increased

AN OCEAN VOYAGE.
One of the Things II Teaches Is tn,
Value of System.

One OF the Ihings IL Teaches Is the
Value of System.
II WISH" said the head of a large
business house, "that every man who
distresses his friends and associates by
his lack of method could be told off to
take trip or succession of trips on
the sea. He'd learn something; he'd
have to. There's a force In example,
you know, and the effects of shipshape
conditions would make themselves felt
sooner or later. I don't mean to say
that a revolution in character would
follow any such experience, but with
the majority of people it Is safe to say
that there would be some alteration for
the better.
"Oh, yes, l know, there are certain
men and women who are born to dis
order as you might say, and who
couldn't be helped by any course of
treatment. They are the unfortunates
Of business and professional life, that's
all. But for the ignorant, the thought
less, those who never have appreciated
what saving of time is involved in
little sensible planning or in the fol
lowing of approved system in routine
matters, sea voyage. with its disci-
pine, it's precise allotment Of time. its
method. in n word, must prove a most
beneficial thing. It's funny that when
you hear so much about the restful-
ness of ocean travel so few realize that
the regularity of the life, it's system.
its evident adaptation of means to
ends constitutes such large factor in
bringing about this result And the
same principle can be applied on
