The Downfall of Father.
(Mashinsfon Postl


The whole trouble was that It was
too good to last. From the Very mo-
ment that the movement for the uplift
of father started. it was certain that
the pendulum would swing ba edward
and very proba bly, hit him in the eve
The mother movement was based on a
firm foundation and will always go on.
but as soon as the exploiting of father
started, his complete downfall was as
sured.
Father has always been the goat"
II was always father who held the
family from the achievement Of its So
cial ambitions 1t was father who
made blunders that put the family TO
shame Father never would take TO
the new fashioned ideas. He was
against the domination by the younger
generation, against suffrage, against
women's clubs, against the teaching
Of French TO the children; in a word a
natural reactionary It was but natur-
al. therefore, that father should become
generally known as a back number,
useful only in bringing home money
and writing checks.
Then started the father craze 1t
started with paragraphs in the news
papers. why not give the fathers a
boost?" and later on it graduated in
the song, What's the Matter With
Father?" the answer being Hes all
right" From all sides father was re-
ceiving what he considered his well
earned praise. He was being lauded to
the exclusion Of mother, sister, baby
brother, and the cook.
1t was too good to last. 1t simply
turned fathers head. One of the spec
les. w. d. Boyce, a millionaire publish
er, Of Chicago, became SO ecsta;ic that
he announced that he was going to
marry a beautiful young girl. Legally
he had a right to do so, as he was
widower. But the younger generation
was growing tired of this father bust
ness Mr.. Bovce's son heard about the
proposed marriage of father and deter
mined to put stop to it, He went
home and trounced father. He was
fined So in a magistrates court.
Father married just the same, but
the moral to others should be plain.
Father without a struggle from the
younger general ton is not to have ev-
erything his own way. Father is rid
ing for fall.

Reinbeck has just claim on fame in

PUssYFooTdNG.
TIowa Falls Citize,


One brand Of usually successful poll
tician is the fellow who can quietly and
silently get to and pull most Of these
Interior strings that influence the votes
of men. Here is where the idea OF
pussy-cat politician comes. He moves
silently and under cover. He studies
carefully each mans likes and dis
likes, each mans hatreds and enmities,
each mans hobbies and principles. He
pulls the strings and disappears, ieav-
ing no tracks behind. The man who
mixes in this maelstrom OF political
corruption seldom If ever escapes
without being bespattered and be-
smeared Men whose natural dispo-
stion is to do what is right are sub
ject to the failings of the flesh and get
by force of circumstances into compro-
missing positions. Good people go to
the political market in beer wagon.
Scribes, judges. men of the cloth be-
come mere petty ward politicians.
Politics is both disgusting and anus
ing Most men. perhaps about all
men, want 10 do about what is right,
but they get sucked into this political
1naels.rorn and the longer they act the
deeper they get.

Australia Protects the Consumer.

(Christian Science Monitor)a
Australia has some new regulations
going into force on the first of July
that are of especial interest TO New
England manufacturers and of import
ance 10 the general public in showing
what that country is doing for the pro-
lection of the consumer The inten-
ton is that the trade description of an
article shall in every case be brought
under the notice of the consumer and
insure him, as far as possible, against
imposition. The regulations direct
that wherever practicable, the trade
description shall be applied by label or
brand directly TO the goods themselves
and not as at present TO either the
goods or their coverings a the option
of the manufacturer. Where its APP
plication 10 the goods is impracticable,
the trade description is to be applied
TO the coverings. Any manner OF
application that will reasona bly, insure
that the trade description will reach
the consumer may be accepted by the
customs officers.
In textiles in which there are load
ings or weightings other than the ordi-
nary dressing OF such materials, the
word loaded" or weighted must ap-
pear Lag, IL due ANY tlllHS
in the nature of an adulteration or US
ed for the purpose OF deceiying the
purchaser as to the quality, substance
or nature OF the goods will not be rec
ognized as an ordinary dressing. The
heavy dressing of rice -four in some
Chinese silks, or Of tin in English and
continental silks, for example, is not
to be regarded as an ordinary dressing.
The new regulations apply to the
shoe trade and by direct reference to
some kinds of shoes made in New Eng
land. They provide that a leather
boot manufactured in the United States
and having leather outsole, cardboard
filters and composition insole, must be
plainly so marked by a label or a
brand The importation OF other arti-
cles of wear is governed by similar re-
strictions and on jewelry the quality
must be stated.
1t may be that patrons in some in
stances will be DESTROYS of purchasing
cheap articles. knowing their nature,
but IL is the intention Of the govern
rnent to prevent deception of its SUBJ
jects as to the character Of any goods
offered for sale When it has done
this, it has done practically all that it
can. The new regulations are fair
and should work a benefit

Accounting for Absence Of Noise.

ter with my ears" said the nervous
man, and feared was going deaf:
and this morning got the scare Of
my life. thought deafness had &C.
tually settled on me.
Going down Madison avenue / met
two carloads of children coming up
in open cars filed with children and
all waving their arms and making a
mighty stir couldn't hear a sound.
not a whisper, and then l knew I'd
gone deaf, sure enough; but when
those carloads of shouting children
had gone by then could hear the rat
tie of the wagons in the street and the
clatter of the horses hoofs and all
that. and then 1t came to me. what
was a fact. that those cheering chill.

Express Company Finance.
(Collier's Weekly).


Every one within sound Of their
voices please join the Merchants As
ISOLATION of the country in making
clear the exact facts as to express
rates. A concerted movement is I'M
der way to turn UP information for the
use of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. Net earnings Of the COM
panies range from 40 to 125 per year
on liberal capitalizations, and the ser
vice is made so costly as to be oppres-
sive. Consider some figures: For a
ne-hundred pound package from New
York to Yonkers the express company
charges the shipper so cents. OF this
the railroad gets nearly "a cents; the
company gets little more than &c
cents, presumably for collecting and
delivering the package. From New
York to Buffalo the charge is 1925: the
railroad gets so cents, and the express
company gets IS cents for exactly the
same service it rendered the shippers
to Yonkers. From New York to San
Francisco the rate is S1450, divided in
this way: to the railroad $500; to the
collecting and distributing company,
S75S. One more item of express fin
ance: From 1903 10 1907, inclusive, the
Adams Express Company paid divi-
dends of 10 per cent per annun; and
in June, 1907, an extra dividend of 200
per cent in bonds was paid. Wells,
Fargo & Co. added, in February. 1910.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
IClinton Mirror.l

lCl0rOn MlrTOT.J
All sins ought not to be paid with
death. but apital crimes should be fol-
lowed by capital penalties-and to
finite minds there seems to be small
wages" for the majority of offenses
against morals or humanity and few
adequate punishments for the gravest
crimes There is too much indiffer-
ence, elf-interest, mawkishness, soft
heartedness and soft Medicines. in
this state at least, for the enforcement
of law.
Only few months since. in this city,
woman of bad character. whose
sleeping husbands head had been
blown open by a charge from a shot
gun, was convicted of murder in the
second degree and sent to Anam o a'
reformatory for eight years. She de-
served the full wages Of sim if she
shot him, and more than eight net
years for completely IL paramour
killed the victim. Now she may be
better cared for and more comfortable
for five or six years than ever before in
her life. and come out in better health,
more attractive, and debauch numer-
Gus willing young men, possibly killing
another one or two.
Just few weeks ago a drunken
tramp desperate, without provocation,
or to save a nickel If he had one, most
brutaIly murdered the toll-keeper of
the Clinton wagon bridge, man twice
his age-and was allowed to plead
guilty to murder in the second degree,
and received therefor sentence of
thirty-five years a Fort Madison peni-
tentiary-and almost instantly. in an
enterprising newspaper, upon the au-
thority of the convict's lawyer, the an
nouncement was made that the pre-
mediated slayer of an aged man at his
post of duty, with good behavior. can
get out in less than twenty years. In
time to commit other wanton murders.
He should have been spe eddy dscreed
by a ury guilty of murder In the first
degree, sentenced to death by the court
and hung by the sheriff las soon as
God and the law would let him."
Now note the coroflary-the natural
result, the inevitable consequence-of
these fiascos of justice and prevalence
of Iia.tiiiiIl Sentiment: Lest Saturday.
almost simultaneously with the incar-
ceration of Reed, comes the customary
sequence Of such encouragement to

First EnaIIsh Horse Races.


Chester possesses plausible claims
to be the birthplace Of the British
turf. 1t was one William Lester, who
about 1909, being mayor Of Chester.
did cause three silver bells to be made
Of good value to be run for upon the
Roode Dee"
This seems the earliest definite es-
adjustment of q horse race. From
the nature of the prize was derived
the proverb ITO bear the bell,
though the bells in this case existed
long before the ring" Our ances.
tors being more easily satisfied in
the matter of amusement than their
degenerate descendants there was ap.
parently only one contest. The "Ches-
