Verdict of the French Physician at
Brldes-Ies-Bains Made the Amer
lean SorroWful.

Now that we look back upon u ex'
~perience, We realize that Brides-les'
Bains Is the most serious cure of the
many that we encountered. w are
so apt to associate the Latins with a
lightness of purpose that it took us
two days to realize that the visitors
did not arise at five in the morning
with the sole intention Of talking
some more, nor that they went to bed
at ten because the lights were turned
out. More than that, while there was
a casino and a band, there was no
gambling, and the Frenchman who
spends his holiday without the comfort
of the little horses" must have a very
bad liver indeed. And more than all
this, to prove the sincerity Of the cure,
the consulting physician pronounced
the illustrator to be unfit for the drink
ing of the waters.
My companion and l drew in our
breaths sharply at this announcement.

So he put the calendar back In his
grip and caught the first train east.
He did not tarry in New York;
Portland was his destination. The
Photographic supply company would
be more likely to have authoritative
information than the calendar COM
pany. An open switch, which caused
the train to leave the rails and bump
him out of his berth on to the floor
of the sleeper, gave Coniston some
thing to remember the journey by.
Fortunately, the train was not going
fast, and he escaped with a few
bruises.
The president Of the Portland con-
Germ, a shrewd, middle-aged, kindly
man, scented 4 romance in Coniston's
request for information. He was sym
pathetic, though not very helpful.

Richard Coniston was In love with
a picture. He who had travelled
thrice around the world and seen the
famous beauties of many lands was
irresistibly attracted by a wholesome
American girl outlined on a calendar.
The picture was evidently from q
photograph. The girl stood In the
foreground, slenderly graceful and
vigorous, a smile on her winsome
face. She was poised in the act Of
swinging a golf club on a little white
ball. In the background was a fine
old gentleman with snowy side
whiskers, two or three caddies and
some lookers-on.
Coniston, young and rich, had set
tied down on his big estate, deter
mined to wander no more; but two
months Of staring at 1.-THE Golf Girl"
as he called her, had aroused the old
restlessness. He felt that at least he
must see her.
At the bottom of the calendar was
the name of a publishing house 10.
Gated in Chicago. In small letters
was also the copyright imprint of the
calendar manufacturers. They were
in New York. Chicago was nearest
to Coniston, though still a long dis
lance away. He packed his bag one
morning, after wrapping up the cal
endar very carefully and slowing 1t
therein, and left for Chicago.
Some days later he reached the
city. 1t was easy to find the printing
house and get an interview with the
manager. The latter recognized the
picture instantly. Yes, that was
some work which their presses had
turned off a year before for a
Photographic supply firm. y
"a Photographic supply firm
echoed Coniston in surprise. Why
this bears the advertisement of the
Idlewild Calendar Company" u
Cant help that" returned the
manager. 1--WE got It out for the
Camera Supply Company. Of Port
land, Maine. We simply print the
pictures and mount them; they put
the Inscription on themselves. After
they have used a photograph for siz
months or SO to boom their plates
and cameras, they sell the right Of
production to the calendar people
See?"
Coniston saw. He also felt salts
fed that the manager knew nothing

Wherein Popular Grievance.

1t is an easy thing to say that the
present tariff law has increased the
cost of living, but it Is impossible to
prove it.-Sereno E. Payne.
Mr.. Payne appears to overlook the
fact that the peoples grievance
against the law is not SO much that it
has increased the cost of living as that
it failed to decrease it: that it is not
the downward revision that was prom
ised all through the Republican cam
paign of 1908; that it is not the tariff
that was expected by the voters who
made Mr.. Taft's popular vote so large.

No anew" Tariff.

The protected manufacturer pitiful-
ly asks that the new" tariff shall be
given time to prove its usefulness.
We have no new" tariff. 1t Is the
same old bungling iniquity, with a
nominal redistribution of the burden,
but without the correction of a single
vice. The more you change it, the
more it is the same thing, and as the
electors have shown all over the
country already, to claim any mercy
for it on the ground Of experiment is
childish.

ON A SOUND BASIS
TARIFF REVISION LOOKED AT IN
NEW LIGHT.
Necessity for General Changing of
Schedules Is Not Apparent to the
Thinker-Proposition Is an Ar
aument of the Grafters.

In his speech at Council Grove,
Kan, Senator Cummins said that one
of the objects of the ~progressives was
to make a rule whereby any schedule
of the tariff bill may be revised at
will without going through the whole
Of the tariff schedules" He said
further:
This would eliminate the intoler-
able vice of the present system
whereby a congressman will make
combinations with other members and
will vote for many schedules that he
believes are absolutely wrong In or
der to get a schedule that he believes
is right
This theory of tariff making Is not
new. In 1924, when Daniel Webster OF
Massachusetts made his famous
speech on the tariff of that year, he
said:
IT deeply regret the necessity which
is likely to be imposed on me of Civ
ing a general affirmative Of negative
vote on the whole of the bill. can
not but think this mode of proceeding
liable to great objections. 1t exposes
both those who support and those who
oppose the measure to very unjust
and Injurious misapprehensions. There
may be good reasons for ~favoring
some Of the provisions Of the bill, and
equally strong reasons for opposing
others; and these provisions do not
stand to each other in the relation OF
principal and incident. If that were
the case. those who are in favor OF
the principal might forego their opin'
ions upon incidental and subordinate
provisions. But the bill proposes en-
actments entirely distinct and differ
ent from one another in character and
tendency. Some of its clauses are In
tended merely for revenue, and oil
those which regard the protection OF
home manufactures, one part stands
upon very different grounds from
those of other parts. So that probably
every gentleman who may ultimately
support the bill will vote for much
which his judgment does not approve;
and those who oppose it will oppose
something which they would very
gladly support"
This condition has existed in regard
to every tariff bill that has been
passed. Undoubtedly there were fea
lures of the Payne bill which the In
surgents and ~progressives would have
supported enthusiastically If they
could have done so without giving
their approval to others which they
utterly condemned, and the same is
true Of the Democrats. More and
more people are reaching the conclu
sion that the DOGGY of general tariff
revision Is created for a purpose, and
that 1t Is no more necessary to disturb
all business by revising the whole OF
the tariff schedules at the same time
than it is to revise our whole criminal
code every time a change Is made IN
the statutes. There need be nc
consideration of what to do with hides
because conditions require the reform
of the wool schedule. There Is nc
reason why, when it is proposed to re
duce the outrageous tariff on lead, g
fight should have to be made to KEEP
the grafters from putting a tariff on
coffee.-Endianapolis News.

Coasting Flying Machines.

In Switzerland the coasting flying
machine furnishes great fun. Sleighs
are fitted with wings, OF gliders, and
taken to the top of a steep hill. They
dash down with lightning speed, and
when the wings are released the
sleighs rises into the air for a beau
tiful slide. 1t is an easy way to learn
flying. but aside from this the new
sport beats coasting all to pieces

Party Cannot Be Trusted.

In tariff revision the Republican par
ty cannot be trusted. The cheating
they did in 1909 will be done again
and again, just as often as the chance
Is given. The motive to cheat is con-
tinuous. The interests that schemed
and paid for the treachery of last year
have the same needs now and are
equally ready and able to buy their
satisfaction, and this will be just as
true as to the reform of one schedule
as it will be with regard to a general
revision.

Roosevelt Always to the Fore.

About two-thirds of Mr.. Roosevelt's
platform at Saratoga Is given up tc
national questions. Of these the tariff
is most important, and the action Of
congress as to the tariff Is warmly
extravagantly, and very far from
tr~uthfully praised. The tariff as 1t is
and as 1t ought to be Is thus made
the chief issue of the campaign, al
ways keeping in mind the exception in
regard to the personality and ambt
lions Of Mr.. Roosevelt himself. 1t is
made so by Mr.. Roosevelt.
