Kites.
From the Cincinnati Times-Star.


The present blustery month with it's
changing winds and blue skies is the most
propitious in the calendar for flying kites.
And ere March has made it's lamblike
adieu it is safe to predict that telegraph
wires herea bout will be pretty generally
Uttered with the skeletons and other
relics of unfortunate kites. The city.
however, is not the place for kite flying.
One should repair to the country, where
the paper birds can be allowed free
range. Any boy who is handy with a
jack-knife can construct kite, either OF
the diamond shape or the hexagonal
variety. Then all that remains is to beg
a sufficient number of empty spools, and
borrow" little brothers rubber ball to
be used as an anchor. What is more ex-
hilarating than on a fine March day
when the wind is coming up strong over
the lea to hear the hum-mm of the taut
cord and feel Mr.. Kite Juggling and pull

DR.. Cooks Return.

When Dr. Cook disappeared after the
first waning of public confidence in his
claim of polar discovery suspicion de-
veloped rapidly into conviction that he
had perpetrated a fraud upon the world.
The decision of the Copenha gen Uni
versity that his so-called proofs of polar
attainment were worthless practically
eliminated DIR. Cook from all considera-
ton save as a most daring swinder,
whose hoax had succeeded for few
weeks and who had pocketed large sum
of money in lecture fees and newspaper
payments. In some quarters there was
feeling of sympathy for the man as pos
sibly misled by his own imagination, and
IN most quarters there was some admira-
ton for him a bold pretender, who
had braved the storms OF public opinion
even if he did not unduly expose himself
to those of the arctic region.
Later DR. Cook was discovered to have
quietly slipped around the continent of
South America for a visit to Chile. His
discovery at Valparaiso caused much less
excitement than might have been expect
ed. considering the magnitude of his de-
ception. Now it is announced that he
will return To New York, having recover
ed his health. being expected to arrive in
that city on the Cd of April. Already his
friends are planning to extend a cordial
reception to him, though, of course, he
will be welcomed with none of the loud
pla udits that marked his homecoming
last fall.
This will be an entirely consistent per-
Torrance. The man who could conceive
and execute so cleverly the pretense of
polar discovery might be expected to re-
turn in the face of exposure. 1t is in one
respect colossal piece of impudence on
his part to go back to the scene of his
great hoax. but the man who planned
such a daring enterprise as his would be
just the one to bluff il out after exposure
There will probably always be some be-
levers, and some others who while not
believing in him will nevertheless hold
that he may possibly have reached near
enough TO the pole to justify him in
thinking that he had attained to the ulti-
mate north. Scientifically. however, he is
no longer in the reckoning. If he puts
forth any further claim it will be bid
for sympathy and not for formal credit

The robin that comes when the blossoms
awake,
To sing on the tremulous Dough,
Small heed of the past or the future need
take.
The time that concerns him Is Now.
And there's never fear that some other
may claim
The things that might give him delight;
The thought of some lordly proprietor S
name
Neer troubles his rest or his flight.
The sky with its splendors of azure and
gold,
The earth with its generous store,
Are his as he needs them-there's none to
withhold
The bounty when he asks for more.
So the best life contains, chance may
carelessly give
To the weak, and deny to the strong:
For the yagabond robin asks only to live,
And the world is his own, for song.

Taft and the Payne Law.

In quarters anita goniStic to the Payne
law, republican as well as democratic,
the President Is still criticised for his
course toward that measure. How stands
the real record?
That the President exerted his influence
in behalf of lower duties when Congress
took up the matter of tariff revision Is
incontestable. He conferred with the
House leaders while the subject was
under discussion in that body, and with
the Senate leaders when the action of
the House came up for review by the
Senate. He was neither idle nor indif-
ferent while the new measure was taking
shape, but is to be accredited with some
of the lower duties the new law carries.
To those who think it a bad law the re
ply is pat that it might have been worse
but for the Presidents efforts IN behalf
of liberal Interpretation Of the Chicago
platform.
When the bil-which had received the
votes of q large majority OF the repub-
Iican members Of the House and the
Senate-was laid bsfore the President
ne had this choice: He could veto i. He
could permit it to become a law without
his signature. He could sign II without
explanation. He could sign it under an
expressed protest, asking the country to
saddle whatever disappointment and dis
pleasure it might feel on Congress.
A veto would be a confession of failure.
and send the question over 70 this ses-
sion, with the business unrest prolonged.
and the divisions in the republican party
widened and their bitterness increased
To permit the measure to become a
law without his signature was something,
we NAV he sure, the President did not for
moment consider He is no pompous
thunderer in the index, and does not pose
as a leader better than his party.
The President signed the bill, and, in
manly fashion, associated himself fully
with the work of his party in Congress.
II was not just what he wanted, any
more than il was just what the majority
in Congress wanted. But in many things,
the President considered it an improve
ment on the old law. and, upon the whole.
the best tariff measure of republican
the opinion on the stump, and he still ad-
heres to it.
But the President does not say that the
Payne law is the last word on the tariff
subject, nor attempt to fix the period for
its operation. Changes as they suggest
sary will be in order The President could
not If he would prevent discussion, in
Congress or out, of the tariff question.

| Special to The Tribune.
Washington, Aug. 1.-THE wide
spread of infantile paralysis and the
inability of the medical profession te
fathom it's cause has brought an i'm
portant suggestion from DR.. l.. B
kebler of the bureau of chemistry OF
the department of agriculture. He
does not assert that infantile paraly.
sis is caused in every case by the
use Of soothing syrups, but he insists
that The opiates used in the syrups
lowers the vitality of children and
renders them susceptible to almist
any disease.
Since the enactment of the pure
food and drug law, requiring the
marking upon labels of the presence
of cocaine, morphine and opium, g
marked decrease in the sale of sooth-
ing syrups has resulted, but it is
known that large quantities are used
by thoughtless parents and indolent
nurses, who find it convenient to quiet
children by dosing them with the in
furious drugs.
A police crusade is to be started
in Washington against the sale of
soothing syrups and a campaign of
education has been started by the
health officer, who hopes by bringing
parents to a full realization of the
harmful effects attending the admin
istration to children of opiates, to dis
continue the general use of them.
1t is intended to investigate the
exact relation between recent cases
of the disease here and the use OF
soothing syrups. Whether the paraly-
sis follows the use of opiates or not,
the public should fully appreciate the
general lowering of vitality which &C.
companies the use of the drug.
