TARIFF AND LIVING

HXCEPTING for the tariff wall,
III Windsor, Ontario, is as much
= part of Detroit. Mich, as is any
suburb or part of Detroit itself. The
close relationship of Windsor and De-
troit-which share many citizens who
are Americans by day, during business
hours, and Canadians by night-giVes
the best opportunity that exists for in
stituting comparisons between the cost
of living under a tariff vexed country
and one in which the natural play
of economic and business forces is not
arbitrarily interfered with, and the
consumer gets a square deal.
In Windsor the price of the best but
ter is IS cents per pound; in Detroit,
36 cents; in Windsor, a dozen eggs cost
"a cents, in Detroit. 40 cents; the cheap
est cut of beef in Windsor costs So
cents per pound, in Detroit 10 cents
per pound. Mess pork sells for 13
cents per pound in Windsor, for 20
cents in Detroit; prime lard for II
cents per pound in Windsor. for 1S
cents per pound in Detroit; breakfast
bacon 10 cents in Windsor, "a cents
in Detroit; wheat, No. 2 red, 81 per
bushel in Windsor. Sill per bushel in
Detroit corn, No. 2 mixed. so cents

One of the mysteries of the tariff is
lIidl pug lOpdCCOs BIOWu anu lhduS
in the United States, is sold for 81
pc pound in Windsor, while in the
United States it costs from 81 to IS
per pound.
There is so little difference in wages
that many American citizens find it
to their advantage to remove their
families to Canada and obtain en-
ployment there. There are many 9TH
ers who. owing to tariff conditions
make the United States a "shop" and
Canada home" The wage they earn
in the United States goes much far
ther in Windsor than in Detroit; and
human nature impels the average
man. no matter how patriotic he may
be, to live where he will get the big
gest and best return for his money.
The philosophy is sound. A mans
life is worth more where what it earns
buys more. In cheap wage regions
of the United States that are remote
from Canada, human life is far less
valuable than it is elsewhere. A mans
time and talent in this world are
only salable once. Should he get
the worst of it in the market he is
absolutely without remedy.

APPROVES STATEMENT THAT
WIDOWS MAKE BEST WIVES

LOS ANGELES, April 11.-[Editor
Herald: l think the New York judge,
quoted in Sundays Herald, stated the
truth about widows making the best
wives and that c. F.'s observations re-
garding second and third marriages
are like DR.. Cooks observations, not
accurate.
Walt Whitman, speaking of women
says:
1.-THE young are beautiful but the OLD
are more beautiful than the young"
He means by that that they are bet
ter thinkers and, therefore, more con-
genial. The same thing is true of men,
the fellow with the most experience
wins the loveliest lady.
NV experience with widows is not
very extensive, but 1 know that can
not tell them as many stories as
can the girls of less experience.
A widow is generally regarded good
cook and dresses with more taste. She
knows what it costs to live. She
doesn't get the "blues" as often, and
if she has any children she will be
more reasonable in her dealings with
others.
The only thing that we finally and
actually love about anyone is their
mind, and Just to the extent that a
mind is developed just to that extent
will it command a better love and
mind is developed by experience.

ties of genius are many, and there are
always new varieties. But that a pro-

cause the gray mare is the better horse

add: In an editorial of Sundays ISSUE
under the heading Competition, you
say that the coming of the American

Columbus, O., Aug "a
This city today is probably
more excited than at any
time since the present street
car strike began. The atti-
tude of the regular police
men openly defying the or
ders of Mayor Marshall to
man the cars is being dis
cussed on every side. Union
men are much worked up.
Sensational reports that
many other policemen will
mutiny tonight has not been
confirmed.
Governor Harmon is being
urged to call out the troops
again, but, has taken no ac-
ton.
According TO- the mayors
announcement 80 mutineers
will be suspended some time
today. His attitude in not
discharging them the mo-
ment they refused to go on

many.
Much apprehension is felt
as to developments tonight,
following the Saturday half
holiday in the shops.
The mayor today issued a
call for vOluntees to aid in
stopping lawlessness. He
said he had done. all in his
power to restore and pre-

to do so and if necessary he
will again call ON the COVER

up, in which case the whole mining
district would probably be swept

Slate Creek fire Thursday are arriv-

capes. Some of these fighters made
their way to Avery and still others
are not accounted for.
According to those who arrived

refuge in Slate creek, where they re-
manned for many hours, while trees
were falling on all sides and the
country about them was a roaring
furnace 1t was learned today that
the mine building of the Liscon Min

EX-G0V. M'bR|DE
IN CITY
Is Here on Political Mission
in Interest of Judge
Burke.

Il will be in Wenatchee for day
or so in connection with the United
States senatorial situation" This is
the statement made this morning to
a World reporter by Ex-Governor Nc
Bride, who is doing some work
throughout the state for the benefit
of Judge Burkes candidacy for the
senatorial nomination. He is quar-
tered at the Elman hotel.
Before giving any expression to
opinions of his own, the governor re-
quester the privilege of interviewing
the reporter.
What is the population of your
city? Is your paper daily? what
is your circulation? Has Wenatchee
any other daily paper? What is the
political situation, especially in re-
gard to senator?"
These questions were answered one
by one. The last was discussed quite
freely. The governor was partlcu-
larly interested to learn the effect of
the recent county convention in this
city upon the strength of Judge
Burke in Chelan county.
Commenting upon the recent straw
vote taken by the Daily World, he
was not surprised to learn that the
contest locally is almost entirely be-
tween Judge Burke and Congressman
Poindexter 1T is the same through
out the state. 1t is now apparent that
the senatorial race lies between
Burke and Poindexter?"
"Is there any chance OF Wilson
withdrawing from the field?" he was
asked.
well, you know Wilson. l have
known him for years and | do not
think he will pull out. His friends,
many of them, are doing their best
to induce him to retire so as to save
him the humiliation of certain de-
feat. If he would withdraw, the
contest would be over right now"
