DOMESTIC SCIENCE EXPOSITION

The most hopeful sign in all the
pure food agitation, says a writer in
Success Magazine. is that many man
ufacturers of food products are at
last commencing to recognize the fact
that it pays them to take sides with
the defenders of pure food, and are
lending active cooperation in a Do
mestic Science exposition which is to
take place in September at Madison
square Garden. New York city.
The initial idea and plans for this
exposition were brought about through
the efforts of the National Food
Magazine, a periodical which has for
a long time carried on a hard and
earnest fight for pure food.
Besides a show of food products, it
is; planned to have demonstrative les
sons in the preparation of food for
babies and invalids, tests as to purity
of milk and other foods, and also lee
lures on food preservation food
chemistry, germs. and how to detect
authorizations.
Many women's clubs are cooperat-
ing in the movement and it is hoped
that this exposition will stimulate a
desire in women all over the country
to take a deeper and more active in
terest in this important question.

WAS COLUMBUS LATE?

Many people nowadays think that
the little trip of Columbus was not
the first jaunt to these shores and
that Left Ericsson had visited America
long before.
Now, these same people who be-
lieve in Ericsson are taking notice
again, for recently there has been
discovered in Minnesota a stone bear
ing a strange inscription. This leads
persons to think that as early as 1862
Norsemen landed somewhere in Nova
Scotia, and by following connecting
waterways came into what Is the
northern part of the United States.
This remarkable stone is covered on
two sides with runes that have just
been translated. 1t has been placed
for safekeeping in the rooms of the

PAINTINGS AND SMUGGLERS.

Huge profits are made ont of the
ignorance Of inspectors regarding
paintings. Bogus Corots. for instance,
were sent over by a dealer just to
have them passed and assessed as
genuine. Customs went merely by the
signature "Corot"-which helped the
dealer far beyond the duty levied. Re-
versing the process-grve good work
an unknown signature-and the deal
er would still win. A painting is con-
signed to an American dealer. 1t is
by an artist who commands great
price. over the real signature is
placed an indistinguishable label with
another and less valuable name. Over
that is placed one of no consequence
whatever Comes a mysterious let
ter to New York customs-"Rub off
the signature on these and you will
find the painters name" The top
signature is rubbed off; the canvases
are entered at the ruling rate for the
name disclosed. Underneath that, and
not discovered at all. Is the name that
gives the picture a value a hundred
fold higher.-Everybody's Magazine.

THE INSURGENT ELEMENT.

Amos Pinchot in his article on
Two Revolts Against Oligarchy" in
the September McClures says of the
present administration:
mo party ever began an adminis-
tration with clearer principles and a
greater public service to perform than
the party of Taft. The whole coun-
try democrats and republicans alike,
were impatient to help some one to
drive the trusts out of politics. No
party since 1860 has had such an op-
portunity to combine service to the
party with service to the country. No
party in our political history has so
completely failed to justify the hope
of the people.
Restoration of government by the
majority reduction of tariff, and a
vigorous prosecution of the conserva-
ton program of the last administra-
ton were three things demanded by
the country. If, after election. the
regular party leaders had kept faith,
If they had shown that they consid-
cred driving the trusts out of politics,
tariff reduction, and conservation
more than mere catchwords of cam
paign oratory, there would have been
no divided party today. If they had
evincved a real purpose to reduce the
tariff in spite of the special interests
in the west and if they had made a
real effort to drive the trusts and
railroads out of politics both in the
east and the west. there never would
have arisen an insurgent element to
vex the republican reactionaries, just
as the insurgent element fifty years
ago vexed the reactionary wings"

THE GROWTH OF INSURGENCY.

A few months ago the Portland
Spectator declared that the insurgent
movement was nothing but an inef-
fective kick and a loud noise. Three
weeks ago the same paper said:
I'VE were wrong; the insurgent
movement looks like a new party. A
third party is necessary. The people
long ago ceased to trust the demo-
crats; they are becoming suspicious of
the republican party. Insurgency is
not merely a kick; it is a protest; not
a mere noise; but detonation which
means that every time you hear Il,
you know something has happened.
"The stand-pat, sit-tight, and hold
fast politicians will do we'll to in
vestigate this insurgent movement; 1t
might distress them if they awoke
some morning and found nothing on
which they could stand pat or sit
tight or hold fast"
AAAo NhO cpONboOi
the above statement with the remark:
''It may be worth the politicians
while to read it. Insurgency is
spreading. New York, Ohio, Kansas
Iowa, and California are insurgent;
Miles Poindexter will carry Wash
ington. The movement is a protest
against high tariff that enriches the
special privilege holder and confers
no benefit on the consumer, which is
against the powers that
refuse to enact progressive legisla-
ton themselves and will not permit
others to enact il, which is supposed
to be Cannonism; against leaders. who
having come to the end of their road,
can lead no farther, and are idly
time, which is called stand
pattism. The people desire change,
action. excitement; they think they
can get this through insurgency.
Very likely they can; at any rate they
will try"

you IL you don't make us fight.
But don't bother us. For this ma
tional army that you see fighting mo-
souitoes today could also fight men
If it had to-"
This truly is most practicable sug-
gestion and one that should command
careful consideration. The plan is
revolutionary but it is in keeping with
the progress of the age. Its adoption
would be great step toward the re-
alization of that fondly cherished
hope, universay peace for when an
army is made something more than
an organization for inspiring fear in
possible adversaries. when it is made
into factor of civilization rather
than an agent of death and destruc-
tion. then will the thoughts of a ma
ton gradually stray less and less in
to warlike fields.

A CALL for more money to bulld the
Panama canal may soon be expected,
Judging from the following dispatch
sent out from Washington, which many
regard as feeler:
The Panama Canal is expected to
earn at least 5 per cent on an estlma-
ted investment Of $500, 900, 900, accord
ing to an official OF the Department OF
Commerce and Labor. This computa-
ton is based on the conspicuous revival
OF trade for the eastern part OF emma
and the Indies, which has been especial
~ marked for the last Is months. All
,is traffic now passes by way OF the
lez canal. 1t is stated that the water
ay OF the Red sea earned slightly less
ian $25, 100000 last year. This IS
bout II per cent on the investment
When the canal project was first con
sidered 5000, 100000, it was elaine J.,
would complete it, but now $500, 600,
600 is the talk. Had it been known
that this vast sum would be required
for the canal it never would have been

beyond admitting the fact. Roosevelt
refused to discuss the visit. He refused
to be explained il he sent for Graves to

Conditions in Spain.

from Bilbao say that heavy casualties
have taken place there in clash be

to censorship. Miners in the Bilbao
district have been on strike for several
weeks, and there are 1000 troops in

Fearing that a too vigorous course in
suppressing agitation by the clerical
leaders might precipitate hostllities,
Premier Clnaleias today gave pe.mis-
