Reason and Instinct.

A certain north country miner was
particularly fond of a clever little
dog he possessed. At times he was apt
to claim little too much for his pet,
and one morning neighbor was en-.
deavoring to point out the difference
between instinct and reason when an
amusing interruption occurred. A
seedy looking tramp turned the corner,
and the dog, without so much as a
word from his master, sprang into the
road and offered battle.
There you are" laughed the miner
as the dog snapped and snarled around
the heels of the tramp. "E don't like
the looks OF the chap. That's instinct"
Suddenly the tramp turned and
kicked the dog into an adjacent field.
There you are" calculated the min
er's friend grizzly. The chap don't
like the looks of the dog. An that's
reason. London Tit-Bits.

"The President does not say that the Payne law is the last word on the tariff subject, or attempt to fix the period for it's operation. The President could not, if he would, prevent discussion in con gress or out. of the tariff question"
 Inasmuch as it is quite impossi- ble for him to do so, it is creditable to the sagacity of the President that he does not try to end the discus sion by proclamation, as he would doubtless like to do, for the sake of saving his party a good deal of embarrassment in the approaching campaign. But the disingenuousness of the argument that the present law should be given time to demon strate its deficiencies before there should be any attempt to change it ought to be plain to the wayfarer, though a fool If this law should exist for a dozen years, and be then revised by 8 party which considered the Dingley law excellent, and con. siders the Payne-Aldrich law still more excellent, the next law would of course. reflect the motives that made the enactment of the existing instrument for wholesale graft possi ble. It would be made by, and foI grafters.
 Defending the Presidents tariff policy is difficult because he ha: chosen to make the policy so plain ly indefensible. In doing so he has been nothing more, and noth ing less, than a good Republican When Mir. Cannon says that the diff ference between himself and an in ,surgent is that the insurgent is no la Republican, he speaks advisedll and authoritatively. and without ex aggeration.

The allies. grim and determined, had held together in their fight on policy rep resented by the speaker. They had won glorious victory. and no doubt in their elation. many felt sorry for the old man. It was a delicate moment. It was time to pause and rest on the laurels won. It was time to reflect for a few days. at least. and let other is- sues shape themselves. Under no con eitions. probably. would the republican majority have further humiliated Mir Cannon at that moment of victory over his dis.asteful policy of autocraey. The Burlesn., -Asai.tian was untimely. It was too much for the republicans to swallow. after what had happened.

LITTLE PROBLEMS OF
 LOVE AND MARRIAGE
Should Man Marry Woman Older Than
 Himself?
By Barbara Boyd.

certainly did not feel it. Tn addi- tion, they had that experience that comes with years, that self control, that judgment of men and women that makes life go smoothly and that knows how to make a husband happy and a home pleasant.
 In such cases as these, age does not matter. IL does not, in fact, exist. Spirit meets on a common ground. There is eongeniality of tastes. There is real eompanionship and there is that mature judgment help to the man and a rock in times of storm and stress.
 But it is only exceptional char acters like these who will be happy married when the woman is much older than the man. When it is only a difference of a few years, it does not matter: but when the disparity mounts up to five and ten years and more, 1t is an unwise step for the average person, the person who has always lived conventionally and IS sensitive to what people say.
 Theoretically, of course, years in the abstract have nothing to do with lcve or the happiness of marriage Practically however. 1t Is another matter. Years stand for certain things with those who think and live in conventional ways. The average woman does not want to look older than her husband nor does the average man like to go about with 9 wife who appears almost old enough to be his mother. They may think they won't mind, but they will when people talk.
 Again with the ordinary person, with the coming of age. tastes change and while the two might start out on almost the same plane, ten years would make more difference to the woman than to the man. He would still be young while she would be getting settled and staid
 As a rule, it is an unwise step. likely to lead to much unhappiness for a man to marry a woman much older than himself. It is only safe for those exceptional characters who can see the hollowness of worldly conventions, who meet on a common ground of cOngenial tastes, and with whom Is no old age. for youth is ever in their hearts.

the money power can be as careful. ly looked after as ever. It does not seem the. death blow to Cannon or to Cannonism unless the republican caucus shall take further action and depose him from the speakership this week. It cannot be called the end
 But there is a great lesson for democracy in this matter. The re- publicans are badly. if not hopeless ly split Champ Clark calls upon the democrats of the country to get together and to stand together as did the democrats of the house. If this is done it will mean that the next house of representatives will be democratic and that Cannonism is dead. There is every reason to expect democratic success at the polls next November. The admin istration of William Howard Taft has thus far been a keen disappoint- ment to his warmest friends even. His appointments to office have been woefully weak Scandals are ar,s- ing all through the governmental departments and whitewashing is going on. The stench rises ovei the odor of the disinfectants used.
 The Payne-Aldrich bill is one of the rocks upon which the republi- can party is splitting It has given the keenest dissatisfaction in the middle west and west especially, and in the cities of the east. The cost of living is soaring. Labor trou- bles threaten and the interests and trusts arc still in control The op portunity for democracy is at hand and the political sky is very bright for the congressional elections of 1910 and the presidential election of 1912.

Should the prohibition amendment be incorporated in the statehood bill, according TO the wish of the Dispatch it will result in injecting an issue into the statehood cam paigns which has no business there. Arizona has a local option law which will enable the citizens of the ter ritory or new state to vote the liquor saloons out of business whenever they see fit to do so. Cochise county has just been through a prohibition campaign that stirred up more bitter feeling than any other campaign in it's history. The pro hibitlonists lost by nearly one thou sand. and this fact may be taken as indicative of the result through out the territory. Down in Okla moha the people were foolish enough to put a prohibition clause into the constitution of that state and now thousands of the citizens of Oklaho ma are petitioning for an amend ment to the constitution which will strike out the prohibition clause because they have found that pro hibition has been a failure there al in other states where it has beei adopted It is to be hoped that thu

 of Arizona to be the judges of whel

TAFT AND THE TWlNkLiNG STAR.

For the honor and glory of Presi- dent Taft, and in defense of the House and Senate machine wrinkles the Washington Star, one of the few considerable luminaries of the jour nalistic Armament that shed kind ly light upon the administration policy with regard to the notorious Payne-Aldrich tariff law. says the Courier-Journal.
 Admitting that in quarters Repub- lican as well as Democratic there $ considerable dissatisfaction. and a tendency to continue to criticise the president. the Star asks itself a question as to what the real record Is, and answers itself. to its own satisfaction. in a way that must make it a most welcome visitor to the White House.
 Says the Star:
 The President exerted his influ ence in behalf of lower duties when | congress was in session. He was neither idle nor indifferent Those who think the law bad should reflect that 1t might have been worse but for the Presi dents efforts in behalf of a libera interpretation of the Chicago plat form"
 The President made a tardy and half-hearted effort. if indeed real y sincere effort, to influence con gress in the right direction. Ht then signed the bill and virtual! apolcgized for it. Next he made : speech at svinon defending it a. practical politics and admittini some of its defects. Again he saiI that the platform did not specifi cally promise downward revision Ii a recent New York speech he an tagonized those who were his suI porters in the campaign by declaI ing, with certain figures offered il proof. that the new tariff law pro vided material downward revision.
 The Star says, with perfect a' curacy, that the President stand by the Payne-Aldrich law as an in provement on the Dingley law. ana upon the whole. the best tarii measure the party has ever passed

There has been nothing encourag- ing during the present week con corning the statehood bill. Some strong opposition was disclosed in the senate among the leading repub- Iicans which it is believed bodes no good for Arizona. There seems to be no one in the senate who is taking any particular interest in the fate of the territories. The demo crats would be glad to pass the measure after some desirable am. endments have been added, but the prospects of their being permitted tc do so are not bright.

TRUSTS THAT WANT WAR.

Only one excuse for war in the Orient Is offered by our jingoes. and that is commercial expansion. The inference to be drawn from their remarks is that if China or Japan does not buy and borrow freely in this country we must go to war about 1t.
 Before entering upon this perilous adventure Americans should insist upon having a bill of particulars. What are the interests that need the army and navy for purposes of promotion? What are the names of the gentlemen who are behind these enterprises?
 War in the Far East would car " death. suffering and taxes into every American home. Thus far, aside from the professional iingoes, only the Money Trust the Steel Trust and the Cotton Trust appear to demand hostilities. A bloody and costly conflict might extend their foreign markets and it might not It would be certain to strengthen their monopoly of the home market
 Trusts have increased here iI spite of laws forbidding them. Trusts have grown more and more daring in spite of laws drawn for theil regulation and punishment.

 How is that the wo-

 From time out of mind this has been accepted as the necessary fact. But people nowadays are beginning to question il. to ask why is it neces- sary One of the most noted women to break through this established GUS tom was a famous English beauty who a few years ago married her sons chum, a young fellow no older than her son. The marriage, of course. aroused widespread comment. But the couple so far seem to be happy.
 Another wedding that caused much talk among friends and acquaintances was that of a man of 26 and wo- man who already had a grandchild. It was not the silly marriage it would seem from this mere state ment for the man was a brilliant young writer and the woman an equally brilliant artist He is as de- voted today as when they were mar ried and so sUpremely happy that he is the wonder of his friends.
 Still another marriage of this character was that of a man of 2S and a woman of 3S. both business people who first met through busi- ness. Their home is one of the most delightful that one can enter and they are the embodiment of quiet content and happiness.
 One could mention many others and in all these instances the couples do not seem in any way to regret the step But several things are to be noted. The men as a rule are men who care nothing for convention or tradition. They are the progres sive men of today, the independent thinkers, absolutely indifferent to criticism: men who believe in living their lives in their own way and who care nothing for what anybody may say. The women in several of the instances were both beautiful and talented; in every case, the sort of woman who keeps young in spirit and so keeps young in appearance None of them looked their age. They
