KNOWS BETTER NOW.

A well-known editor of an Eastern
Washington weekly, whose custom it
is to take long walks, was in attend
ance at the meeting OF the Washing
ton State Press Association, held
this year in Wenatchce.
Knowing he was in the country
where money grows on trees" he
thought ne would like to go afoot
and view the money growing" as
close as possible. so he started out
no autOmobila. sight seeing for him,
not much--and as he passed an or
chard, he noticed all the trees but
one were loaded with apples.
That strange" he remarked to
his companion, brother journalist
from Puget Sound.
What's the reason, dc you imag-
ine?' asked the other.
There's boy sitting beneath
one OF the trees-I'll ask him." and
he tackled the boy.
" Fine apples you have here" he
said, with an air of freedom and ac-
quaintance with the facts.
"They are so, replied the boy.
Where do you sell them mostly?"
1--WE don's sell 'em. Make cider. y
/" All. are they cider apples?"
Course; couldn't make cider if
they wasn't"
Very true. BY the way, my boy,
l notice one tree over there by the
fence hasn't maple on it. Do you
know why that is?"
"Of course, do"
Well. my friend here and l are a
little curious, and would like to have
you tell us. if you will. Here's a
quarter for your trouble.
Certainly. It's cause it's plum
tree, mostly"
The Eastern Washington editor,
with inquiring mind hung his head,
and started back to Wenatchee, with
firm resolve to refrain from curl
osity in the future.
His brother journalist from Puget
Sound, who was his companion on
commencing the work, hailed a pass
ing auto containing few members OF
the press association and rode into
Wenatchee with them, but he never
sprung the story of "Why Apples
Do Not Grow on Plum Trees"

IMPENDING MILITARISM.

There is a scheme on foot in the
West, that may have ramifcatiOns
in the East, to place the national
guard on the army salary list at rates
of from 5 Is per cent OF the regular
wages. To that conference of ma
tional guard officers has just been held
at st. Louis. General Leonard Wood
was present and declared: 4" I would
out German the Germans by insti-
tuting compulsory military education
in all of the schools. Every boy 13
years Of age or more should be COM
PEELED to learn to use rifle as a part
of his school course. This militar-
ism is the natural result of the large
increase in the army under Republi-
can legislation, and it is time to nip
in the bud any further increase unless
we would be a nation of SOL
diers and saddled with the sup
port of an army that would exceed
even that of Germany. But General
Wood was not satisfied with turn
ing all the boys of the country into
soldiers, for he further declared:
Our standing army of $4,000 men
is far too small, and Congress should
provide for its increase to at least
140, 900 men,"
Who wants to see the United
States an army camp? What service
or help to the people would such an
army be? Who would it fight? Con-
slider the expense: 1t now costs $101, ;
1876. 1888 for the support of the present
army, and it Is proposed to more than
double that enormous sum, if the
scheme to pay the officers and men of
the national guard is added to the
cost OF nearly doubling the regular
army,
1t is time for the mothers and
the fathers of the United States to
decide whether they want their boys
to be enlisted in the army without
their consent, and that of course
means their being subject to the call
for service. 1t is unlikely that the
ranking Major-General of the army
would publicly advance this army
program unless the President and
the War Department were back Of it.
Just fancy the people of the United
States voluntarily doubling their tax
burdens and giving all their sons as
possible food for powder to satisfy
the craze of army officers and Republi-
can officials for militarism. Once in
stalled here, militarism would en-
dure, and, as in Europe. about every
taxpayer would have a soldier on his
back, booted and spurred to force the
taxes out of him. -e-s-.--s..,...

WORTH THINKING ABoUT.-There
is one thing that those Democrats
who are more or less admirers of
Roosevelt should remember; that un-
der his two administrations the ex-
pense of running the Government
about doubled. We used to think a
billions dollar Congress an extrava-
gance, that must be stayed; but now
q two million dollars Congress is an
accomplished fact. The country can
not long stand such extravaganza,
and a halt must be called on such
reckless legislation as the Republican
party has given US. Mr.. Roosevelt
never tried to check waste in expend-
ing the public money. MIR. Taft is
making feeble effort in that direc-
tions, but it is safe to say that Re-
publican Congress will do very little
to aid him. The total taxation of
the people now amounts $50 per cap
ita, which is about $3.50 that each
family has to pay every year Just
think of it.

STAMPS AS CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
U. S. to Provide Savints Bank Books for
Santa Claus.
New York Tpihune
New York Tribune.


Uncle Sam as a source of supply
for Santa Claus, has switched from
gold pieces to stamps. Up to this
year the government mints coined
large quantities of $3.50 gold pieces,
which were known among the trea-
sury officials as Christmas money.
1t was decided this year to discon-
tinue the coinage of the gold pieces,
and now Uncle Sam has placed an or
der for large quantity of bright
new yellow postal savings stamps.
These, together with postal card
upon which they are to be pasted,
represent a deposit in Uncle Sans
postal savings bank. In order to
stimulate savings among the young
sters of Yankeeland, Uncle Sam has
gone TO great expense to furnish an
attractive stamp. 1t is expected
that there will be a great demand
for these stamps at Christmas time.
The card up,E which the stamps
are pasted will cost 10 cents, and
will be in fact handbook. 1t
represents the initial deposit of 10
cents. Each card holds nine stamps,
which cost 10 cents each. This may
be exchanged for q dollar certificate.
With the use OF the stamps for
Christmas presents will arise the
question of whether the postmasters
may be required or may lawfully do
q mail order business, for the postal
savings system will only be installed
in one or possibly two points in each
State this year.
This question has not yet been de-
cided by the officials. They are OF
the opinion, however, that if the
mail orders for postal savings stamps
do not reach a very big amount for
any one office, it will be allowable for
a postmaster to fill mail orders until
more postal savings repositories are
obtainable. Generally speaking,
however, the postal savings system
is not to be a mail order institution,
and each man is to be required to de-
posit his money in his home town in
order to keep depositors within the
legal limit of 800 a month for postal
deposits.

organize, distribute literature and
get out the vote, while advocates of
tariff reform, as they could promise
no special pecuniary benefits, have
had to make their campaigns without
funds. The advocates of protection
have done much to corrupt public
opinion by boldly teaching that the
voter should use the ballot to ad-
vance his pecuniary interests. The
manufacturer has been invited to
vote dividends into his pocket, the
wool grower has been solicited to
vote himself a higher price for wool
and the Iaboring man has been
warned that vote against protec-
tiOn would lower his wages.
Q. Is it true as often asserted by
advocates of high tariff that a high
tariff always brings good times and
that tariff reform always brings a
panic ?
A. No. Prosperity followed the
low tariff of 1916, and the panic OF
1873 occurred under a high tariff.
The panic of 1873 not only occurred
under high tariff but twelve years
after the Republican party came into
power and eleven years before Mr..
Cleveland first election. The panic
of 1893 occurred while the Mckinley
law was in force-a year before the
Wilson bill was passed, and really be-
gan while the Republican party was
in power.
Q. Is there any evidence of growth
in tariff reform sentiment ?
A. Yes. The farmers are no lon
ger deceived by the home market ar
gument, the employees no longer re-
gard their wages as dependent upon
the tariff and many manufacturers
find the tariff more of an embarrass-
ment than a benefit. Our exporters,
too, are discovering that our tariff
determinations excite retaliation in
other countries.
Q. When will the beneficiaries of
protection consent to tariff reduc-
ton?
A. Never. A child gets so old
that it is ashamed to nurse; calf
gets so big that it will wean itself,
but no beneficiary of protection ever
voluntarily let's go of the public teat.
@, When will the tariff be re-
formed by it's friends.
A. Just after the money lenders
ask for a reduction in the legal rate
OF interest-that is, just before the
millennium.
@. To whom must we look for tar.
iff reform?
A. To those who suffer-no abuse
was ever reformed by those who pro.
flied by the abuse to be reformed.
Q. When should tariff reform begin
A. AT once.
Q. And how? :
A. BY putting on the free list
those articles which compete with ar.

GOOD SAND PILE JACkSTRAWS
A Game to Be Played With Beans or
Seeds and Stick With Hook in End.

The children in Arabia play game
very much like the one that am going
to tell you about. 1t is fine fun for
the sandpile company in the yard or
on the seashore. Collect lot of large
seeds or peas and beans. Then make
your hooks. These are nothing but
pins stuck in the ends of sticks the
heads of the pins projecting. Sprinkle
a layer of large seeds on the ground
Cover them with sand. Then place
another layer of seeds and the sand,
and so on until a mound is formed The
layers become smaller. of course. as
the mound grows higher. The game
is played very much like jackstraws.
Each player has a turn in trying to
remove the seeds in the sand. A player
may remove any number OF seeds dur
ing his turn, but as soon as he moves
any other seed than the one he is try
ing to take out of the sand. or as soon
as the sand slides down the sides of
the mound, the next player takes his
turn. At the end of the game the
player who has removed the greatest
number of seeds wins the game. Some
times green grapes or nuts are used
instead of seeds. This is good
resting game for young folks.-Kansas

NEW SORT OF BANK EMPLOYEE
Business Woman Placed in Charge OF
Getting Women's Accounts.

One OF the new departures in bank
ing methods is the bid that is made
for wOmen's accounts. City banks
have had a department for women for
some time, but only lately have cOun-
try banks and trust companies taken
hold of the plan.
The woman's department of the
Portland Trust Company of Oregon
was established something over three
years ago. 1t is really branch OF
the advertising or publicity work, pro-
ceeding upon the lines of popularizing
the bank and making it a subject
of conversation among the women OF
the city.
A competent business woman is in
charge as superintendent of this de-
partment Every accommodation and
courtesy is extended to women patrons
in the way of explaining matters OF
business with which they are unfa-
miliar, assisting them in the prepare
ton of checks, drafts and other pa
pers. when they open an account.
In addition to her duties in the bank
the superintendent makes frequent
calls upon women whose business it is
desirable to obtain and also extends
assistance to those who may need it.
If, for example, one of the banks
clients or a stranger is ill and desires
advice or assistance in the prepare
ton of any paper or in the handling
of any business the superintendent
waits upon her at her home and spends
as much time as may be necessary
in aiding her. In this way some very
desirable results have been gained
