is a progressive, both by his record
and his declared policies
On House Rules.
How do you stand On House rules -
Il am in favor OF revising the rules
of the House making the Rules Com
mittee and the standing committees
elective by the representatives in
stead of appointive by the Speaker
\ bad law or rule is a menace to pub
lie welfare in the hands OF bad man
and a bad law or rule is a bad ex-
ample and menace by precedent in
the hands of good man. If the pres
ent rules under q Republican Speaker
were bad enough for the Democrats
to condemn before the election, they
will be bad enough under a Demo
cratic Speaker for the Democrats 10
reform after the election. The Demo
cratic majority should now make the
rules give the Republican minority the
rights which the Democrats, when in
the minority claimed as fair and just
from the Republicans"
Tariff Revision.
What is your opinion on proposed
tariff revision?"
The tariff is tax upon the cor
sumner, which on foreign goods is paid
to the Government and on domestic
production is paid TO the interests con.
trolling production where competition
! is defeated by combinations and
! trusts.
/ The tariff should be revised down
ward without delay, with objects in
view in the order of their importance
as follows:
| First, To limit taxation to the
needs of the Government economically
administered;
Second, To impose the lightest bur
dens on the necessaries of life and the
heaviest on Injuries;
And Third, To reduce the rates or
trust controlled articles to proven
monopoly and restore competition.
LAS long as the tariff is maintained
as a revenue system of the Govern
ment, no matter whether it be high
tariff, certain interests controlling pro
duction will be protected to the ex
tent of the tariff imposed, incidental
to the collection of revenue and indie
pendent of the principal upon which
it is imposed AS between these bene
ficiares of the tariff, after giving eff
feet to the principles of limiting tax
alton to the needs of the Government
imposing the lightest burdens on nee
essaries and protecting the consume
against monopoly. the incidental pro
lection thus afforded should be ad
justed to equalize any difference il

ment is preferable TO sacrifice TO pri-
vate monopoly"
Presidents Message.
What is your opinion of the Presi-
dents MESSAGE"
The Presidents deferred acquie-
scence In inevitable progressive poll
cies will not make up for his endorse
ment of ship subsidy by his calling
a halt to antitrust legislation with
Federal Attorneys complaining or
trust prosecutions failing for want of
adequate laws If it is true that com
petition cannot be protected without
disturbing legitimate business and
creating q panic, We are seriously IN
error and supporting false system
OF industry. 1 am in favor of further
antitrust legislation by way of amend
ment to the Sherman Antitrust Law,
or otherwise, SO long as combinations
are able to make the defense that there
is now law to reach them
SociaIistic Vote.
How do you account for the in
creased Socialistic vote?"
The Socialists have been taking adj
vantage of the arguments furnished IN
, the defense OF tariff protection and
trade combinations 1t is hard to de
fend the competitive system of in
dustry and at the same time justify
the right to defeat the operation. II
the high tariff system, is right in de
| feating competition as claimed, and
| il trade combinations creating mono
poly are justifiable on principles OF
| industrial economy as argued, then
the competitive syestem is wrong and
ought to be superseded. The com
petitive system of industry is on trial
IL this system is to prevail. the power
of the trusts to defeat competition
must be taken away. 1t remains tc
be seen whether or not competition
can be made effective against modern
trade combinations. If competition
Icannot be sustained and the law of sup
ply and demand made operative. the
alternative will be between trusts anc
private monopoly on one hand, and SO
cialism and monopoly for the benefit
of the public on the other. AS between
the two the people will choose public
monopoly in preference to suffering
private monopoly. If President Taft:
recommendations to call a halt on an
thrust legislation is listened to b,
congress, the Socialists will make an
other increase in their vote at the mex
election"
On Ship Subsidy.
How do you stand on the ship sub
sidy question:"
II will vote against the Ship Sub
sidy bill urged by the President. l
it is true that it has become necessar.
for the Government to make contribu

BreakjnQ In New Pitchers,

The present way of handling way of breaking in young pitchers is all wrong" says the veteran Jack Boyle, who caught for the St. Louis Browns when Charlie Comis- key was managing Won der Ahe's team 'I may be mistaken, of course, but in my opinion, the system now followed by all the big league man. agers is absurd. It is now the invar- fable custom, when a major league team secures junior wonder from the bushes, to set him down upon the bench and tell him to stop, look, and listen. He is supposed to pitch little before the game and then to watch the veterans putting them over, and incidentally, to learn all he can about the various batsmen and the inside workings of the fast 'cOmpany. Then, some day, when a pitcher has been pounded the young SleI goes III llOlli 'He peH'H anu makes a sorry showing. Theoretical ly, of course, this system ought to be all right The boy is going to school. as it were and receiving the instruction to fit him for his busi- ness career But as matter of plain fact and common sense, how about it?
 Your young pitcher comes up from the brushwood with a sense of sublime confidence and an unlim- ited stock of nerve. He thinks he must be good, or the big team would not have paid so much money for him. He knows that if he could go right in there and face those big leaguers he'd show them up; but he doesn't get the chance. By the time he has been under instruction for a week or two he has lost his confidence He has had it impress ed upon him that he is lucky to be alive He has had the merits of his natural style criticised, he has been shown a lot of stunts, with the best intentions, but without the least effort

Misplaced Thanks.

It was a windy afternoon and the young man was very well dressed. from his neat hat to his smartly polished shoes He seemed to know that he was worth looking at for he kept glancing at himself in the store windows and pulling down his cuffs. At the corner one of those sudden gusts of wind which seem to come from nowhere blew off his hat.
 Away il went, Careening along the street. through every bit of mud and dirt visible. Of course, he hur- ried after it. But the hat had a long start Once he saw it topple over and lie quietly on the stones for a moment, Then a puff of wind raised il and sent it wheeling along at an increased speed.
 At last the hat ran into the curb stone near a corner street lamp. and with bounce he was upon it. All flushed and breathless, he picked it up, and then leaned against the lamppOst to rest.
 A man. also flushed and breathless came running up and took the hat out of lis hands.
 I'm much obliged" said he
 For what?"
 This is my hat"
 Where's mine, then?"
 Hanging behind you at the end of a string"
 Then the welldressed young man remembered that. for safety. he had put on a hat-guard that afternoon

Macaroon Fancy.

Select as many large macaroons as are required for a dish and some small lady's fingers or sponge cakes. Arrange four of the sponge cakes upright around each macaroon, stick ing them to it and joining them with small quantity of paste made by mixing one large tablespoonful of icing-sugar to a fairly stiff con- sistency with some beaten white of egg. As each little case is finished place 1t either in a warm place in the kitchen or in slightly warm oven so that it may dry. The last thing before serving fill the cases with a strawberry mixture made as follows: Pass sufficient canned straw berries through a fine sieve to give a quarter of pint of pulp; heat half a gill of the sirup in which they were preserved and dissolve one half box of gelatin in it, then strain into the basin containing the straw berry pulp and add a teaspoonful of maraschino. Have ready whip ped half pint of cream, sweeten it and color it delicate pink and mix it gradually with the prepared strawberries; after filling the cases scatter some finely chopped nuts over the top.

An Example.

A teacher was endeavoring to ex. plain to her small charges the meaning of the word "congenial."
 Now, children" she said. two people are cOngenial who like to do the same kind of things. who do not disagree, and it is very strong indication of congeniality when two people think the same thing simultaneously Can any of you. now, give me an example of two people who are congenial?"
 'I can. Miss Mary" a little fellow shouted, waving his hand wildly.

To Avoid Knots.


 The use of knot Is 10 be avoid ed in sewing and not to be tolerated in embroidery
 The accomplished needlewOman rarely finds il necessary to start with a knot save in gathering or basting. Sometimes a tiny one is slipped under a hem. but il will show on right side if material is sheer and makes an ugly lump in ironing
 Two or three over and over stitch es taken on wrong side of ma terial is as secure as knot and much more slightly. In embroidery there is no excuse for knot. Two or three tiny stitches taken on out line or in body of work where it is afterward covered will hold any stitches Knots only tend to an un- tidy wrong side. which no good em- broiderer will tolerate, and make the work rough in laundering

 Like Wagner. the idol of them all, Zimmerman is natural, free and easy batsman Likewise he is at

The cage stood directly at the head of the stairs, and just as we reached the top big serpent it's head toward Phoebe Forgetting the glass that separated them, she was so startled that she uttered a scream and would have fallen backward down the stairs had 1 not caught her.
