The Hypocrite a Genius.

Really to be hypocrite must re-
quire a horrible strength of character.
An ordinary man such as you or gen.
orally fails at last because he has not
enough energy to be man. But the
hypocrite must have enough energy to
be two men. 1t is said that a liar
should have good memory. But a
hypocrite must have not only good
memory OF the past, but consistent
and creative vision of the future; his
unreal self must be so far real to him.
The perfect hypOerite should be trim
fly OF artistic talent He must be
novelist like Dickens to create a false
character. He must be an actor like
Garrick to act il. And he must be a
business man like Carnegie to profit
by it. Such a genius would not be
easy to find in any country.-G. X.
Chesterton.

Champ Clark, he of the Chautauqua
circuit and of Congress. has been tell
ing the interyiewers some of the
things which are to be politically
The Democrats, he says. are to sweep
the country in the fall elections. Ev-
cry Republican ofice-holder in Missouri
is to be informed that his services are
no longer required. And as fate is
to deal the cards in Missouri. so will
the voters in other states cast out the
unrighteous and elevate members of
the opposition" to power.
Mr.. Champ Clark is one Of the most
entertaining forecasters in America.
AS Democrat, he is never cast down.
There is no hole in the doughnut for
him He sees the promise of fa:-
weather in every political sunset and
no Republican landslide has ever
made him fearful lest the party un-
der the avalanche cannot be dug out.
Like Patience upon monument. he
just keeps smiling.
Clark is not the only politician who
has fastened his hopes of preferment
upon the discussions in the Republi-
can party. There are legions of them,
and they are furnishing up their
shields and sharpening their swords
against the combat of next autumn.
There are a few facts forgotten, or
ignored. by these gentlemen One is
that fractional fights among Republi-
cans are not, as a rule. permitted TO
go so far as election day. Another is
that long before the test of primaries
and conventions comes the Cannon
ties viii be declaring themselves pro
gressive. They will have seen the
great light. 1t will be struggle be-
tween progressive Republicans and
progressive Democrats, not the futile
one between Cannon followers, pro-
gressives and Democrats.
The habit with the average political
prophet is to see things come as his
heart desires them, not as the logic
of events Eliminates the future.-Tol-

C. III. Davis Sends Missive That
Takes Two Weeks to Read.
The champion long-distance letter of
the world has just been received by
Mrs. Clara N. Davis, of 10 West Dane
street, Beverly, from her nephew,
George H. Davis, of Alton, Ill, the
Boston Herald says. The letter con-
tanned 152 pages and over 10000
words. The package cost Al cents Cor
postage. Mrs. Davis, who is 81 years
old, insists upon reading the epistle
herself, and as she reads but dozen
pages daily expects to have fortnight
of entertainment before she reaches
the end.
The writer is ~ years old and the
letter is a description of recent trip
made by him along the Pacific coast.
Mr. Davis took nearly month in writ
ing his letter, and gives a minute ac-
count of all the scenes he visited. In
terspersed through the pages are pic
ture postal cards illustrating many Of
the scenes he describes.
Mr.. Davis, while on a visit to his
aunt two years ago, told her of his
plans for the next summer and prom
Used to write her of his trip, and the
letter she received is a fulfillment Of

why Not.

The President is said TO be heartily
sick of the continued patter and jar
gon in Congress about insurgents and
regulars, standpatters and revision
lists. He sees no reason why the Re-
publicans in both Houses should not
get down to work.
Why isn't the President right?
There have been tariff bills passed be-
fore that were not satisfactory to
everybody. Indeed there never was
one passed that was satisfactory to
everybody. But shall the passage OF
an unpopular tariff bill stop the wheels
of government? Shall there be no
progress in any direction, because we
have failed to satisfy ourselves on the
tariff?
Again, there have been investiga-
tions as important as the Ballinger-
Pinchot investigation held in this coun-
try. But was the Federal establish
ment paralyzed by the fact?
Shall Congress confess itself inca
pable of legislating on postal banks
or interstate commerce or anything
else. until it learns whether Ir Bal
linger was a good or poor conserva-
zionist?
The President does not seek to die
tate to anyone, but he wants the Re
publican majority to take the Repub-
lican National Platform, and begin put-
ting it into law. Why not?-Exchange

Mr.. Knox Does Wen.

Russia and Japan. in the rejection
of Secretary Knoxs plan for the neu-
tralization of the Manchurian railways,
are firm and polite, Japan the more
polite, but not the less firm. Their re-
lection was inevitable, as Mr.. Knox no
doubt reckoned For the two filchers
of Manchurian spoil, mutual promisars
in the Portsmouth Treaty as to evaeua-
ton, now that their spoil is threaten
ed, naturally stand together.
But Mr.. Knox. nevertheless. has
achieved the only purpose he could
have deemed possible under the cir
cumstances. de has prevented an Ipso
facto modification of the Portsmouth
Treaty He registers a protest against
the silent usurpation of Russia and
Japan and has our protest and their
refusal spread upon the international
records, as it were. The title for Jap
an and Russia, which they hoped to
perfect through occupation and acqui-
escence in the course of years, is now
permanently clouded Mere prescrip-
ton will not legalize it.
So that the status of Manchuria re-
mains an open question. So that when
ever it becomes convenient for China,
with the support of the United States
and Britain, to reassert her claims in
Manchnria, she will retain the better
right as against the disI assessors.
Thanks to Secretary Knox, time will
not perfect Russia's possession of
Hardin or Japan's occupation of Muk-
den. Russia and Japan will continue
as squatters in Manchuria.
Thus Mr.. Knox has stuck wedge IN
the aperture which prevents the key

least. Neither Great Britain nor
France was in position to protest, in
asmuch as the one is Japan's ally, and
the other Russia's ally. While Ger
many, who wishes to ingratiate herself
with Japan, had no disposition to in
terpose.
Secretary Knox has exercised clever
diplomacy in the midst of difficulties.
If he has not compelled the thieves to
drop their swag. he has them identi-
fed for future reference and has mark
ed the goods. Moreover, and what
may prove the best result, he has corr
mended the United States to China.

WHO Gets the Subsidy.

Apparently there is some earnest
ness in the discussion of the postal de-
felt this year 1t is debated every
year, but never before has there been
such a disposition to go TO the bottom
and to suggest remedies.
After the first few days Of discussion,
it was evident that the President had
not reached the root of the matter Ii
his annual message. He had put the
magazines under a charge of practical
ly getting subsidy from the govern
ment. But all that he really proved
was that o subsidy. or something that
amounted 10 subsidy, was being paid
Who is se.1ing it?
The Ma ,azines have not been slow

carrying. second-class matter of 9.23
cents IN ound, the railroads are the
ones gts are receiving the subsidy.
They haSe brought facts and compari-
sons to the support of their conten-
tions. The government. for example,
is paying great deal more per pound
Luau CADl Cos tOlIpdllAtS Nhdl So anu
the express companies are doing so
we'll that they have to cut up stock
dividends every little while to keep
their surplus from overlooking the
place.
If these are the facts, why does not
he government get after its contracts
with the railroads? 1t would seem to
be the part of good business sense first
to learn what is a reasonable and fair
price for carrying second-class matter
and then to charge that price. 1t is
ridiculous for the postofice to assert
that the magazines are compelling it
to lose $64,00O,O0O a year. The maya
zines do not compel the postoffice to
do anything. They accept the price
charged by the government, and they
would have to accept it, if the price
was increased. But it should not be
increased, until the government has
satisfied itself that it is getting the
best possible rates from the railroads
for carrying the mails.-Minneapolis

THE ESKIMo'S PIPE.
Small Bowls with stems of WaIrus
Tuslx Handsomely Carved.

Small Bowls with stems of Walrus
Tuslx Handsomely Carved.
The pipes used by the Esk!mos are
quite different from those Of any other
North American race, and in the shape
of the bowl more resemble the opium
pipes used by the Chinese than any
thing else. The old pipes were very
small in the amount of tobacco that
they would hold, for in former days
tobacco was extremely scarce and In
its use was most carefully husbanded.
There was therefore wide fiaring
margin to the pipe to catch any grains
of tobacco that might be spilled in
filling it, then there was hollow
which would hold pinch Of tobacco
half as large as an ordinary pea and
a rather wide hole passing down
through the base of the bowl which
fitted into the pipe stem. The bowl
of the pipe was of ivory, stone, brass
or copper.
The pipe stem was curved and had
mouthpiece. 1t is said that the small
hole running down through the base
of the bowl and into the pipe stem was
usually plugged with caribou hair TO
save any grains of tobacco that might
otherwise have passed down through
this aperture and so be lost The
smoking of such a pipe would not last
long, and we may presume that very
few draws would exhaust it The
smoke was of course taken into the
lungs.
The Eskimos are known to be ex-
tremely skillful in the representation
of scenes and objects, while the In
dams of Queen Charlotte's sound and
generally all the natives of the north
west coast of America are famous fcr
their carving in wood and in black
slate Handsomely carved Eskimo
pipes of walrus ivory from northwest
ern Alaska have on each side of the
pipe, that is to say on four more or
less long fat surfaces, scenes from the
daily life of the Eskimo. OF these the
two sides on the right hand of the
pipe, as it is held in position for
smoking, appear to represent the Pc
Rod of cold weather. later autumn,
winter and early spring. while those
on tho left hand side of the pipe rep
resent the summer life Of the Eskimo.
