THE ENGLISH ELECTIONS
W-ROGIES AND DEMAGOGUES

Irish leader, became the dictator OF
the Commons. In view of the fact
that such a condition OF affairs always
is possible as long as ireland has rep
resentation in the United Parliament.
IL seems odd that those Engiishmeh
who most resent and fear Irish domin-
alton should so strenuously oppose the
Efforts OF the Irish TO get out OF the
British Parliament and To set up their
own legislature I'm Dublin.

parliament might be paid from the
funds OF the trades unions. He repud-

to get through bill providing for the

that the efforts of demagogues OF this
character were In every way harmful
and In no way beneficial TO the Liberal
cause.
And last. but far from least, there
were the suffragettes. Neither party
in Britain is united either In support
or opposition to the plan to grant
votes for women. But the Liberals.

and their male allies. The ministers
OF the Crown were violently assaulted
by mobs of Infatuated women. Mr-As-

riot. Mr. Winston Churchill was the

tFrom the Detroit JournaiD

The objections To accepting this be-
ques: for the purpose OF erecting a
fountain and a statue to Jim Scott
on Belle Isle are really three-fold
First, fountain, any kind OF a
fountain, is not needed on Belle Isle
al this time. or al any other time. A
more inappropriate place for a foun-
tain cannot he conceived. There Is
water surrounding Belle Isle. That Is
the charm OF Belle Isle. its natural
beauty. Instead Of being an orna-
ment. a fountain would be a blemish
and an eye-sore. IL would be inarris-
tic and vulgar IL would deface that
entire section OF Belle Isle. In time
thai fountain. that half-million dollar
blemish will become a burden on the
| taxpayers of Detroit. That Is newt
able. Nothing Of that sort il ever
completed within the appropriation
There will be no fund left for main
tenance. The taxpayers must stand
that. Why, then, accept something
we do not need, something that would
be a blemish, simply because We ap-
parently get IL for nothing? Instead
of getting il Tor nothing, 1t will be a
charge on the taxpayers for all time.
or until some wiser future generation
plucks ii up by the roots and throws
IL into the river.

IL won't do any harm We plan TO

so TO the naval militia OF Maine. The
experiment will not injure it, But

by Pierpont Morgan. Gee He Will

Speaking OF military inventions, did
you know that officers in our naval
service are permitted 10 take patents
on devices worked out with govern
ment assistance? Fact. There are
quite a number of men in our navy
department who are growing rich
from the royalties on patents-de-
vices affecting the mechanism or
guns. etc.-which patents were work
ed out during Office hours and with
the help of craftsmen and experts
under their orders. Some of these
patents have been sold 10 manufac.
turing firms which furnish foreign
governments with the same devices

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. IA 1910.
Dear Dad The master OF the ma.
tional grange names correctly the
three reasons why farm produce Is
high priced TO the consumer and low
priced at the farm. They are: Poor
roads. making it expensive TO get the
produce from the farm TO the rail
way: freight rates based not on cost
OF carriage but watered stocks, and
middlemen who call themselves
commission merchants" but who
are generally wholesalers trust,
standing between the goods and the
consumer.
There are four reasons why The
parcels post legislation has always
failed They were correctly stated
by former Postmaster General Wanna
maker TO be: the American Express
Co, the United States Express Co,
the Adams Express Co., and the
Wells Fargo Express Co.

lay in the adoption of the parcels

few days ago. We'll. you see" he

civilian who tried long and in vain
TO induce the navy officers TO test It.
Finally the inventor appealed TO con
gress. and a paragraph was put into
the naval appropriation bill making
il compulsory on the department to
try the effect of 200 pounds OF the
explosive against the turret and the
armor plate Of the Puritan. Before

are never satisfied.
In every community there
are one or two merchants that

A man who is struggling
toward success with the RIGHT
IDEAS is never envious of the
man higher up. On the con-
trary, he will STUDY the things
that have made the man higher
up successful, and will try to
IMPROVE on some of the things
he has done to attain success.
A gentleman who went into
the retail business some months
ago sat around a luncheon table
with other business men, and
they asked him how he liked the
retail end of business.
He replied that he liked it
very much and thought there
was a GREAT FUTURE ahead
of him IF HE FOLLOWED
THE EXAMPLE OF THE Sue,
CESSFUL MERCHANTS in this
city.
They asked him the names Of
men whom he regarded as being
successful merchants and he
told them, but he did not men,
ton any of the men who sat
around the table, although they
are in a measure successful.
One of the merchants this
young man had in mind is over
seventy years of age, but he is
still on the job every day, is con-
stantly trying to improve every
department in his big shop

NEVER ANY LET-UP IN
THAT.

every community to follow the

The baseball games last Thursday,
Friday and Saturday afternoons be-

Sebastian being represented, besides
the entire st. Petersburg team, which
