Heads Off a Scare.

A Chicago doctor has arranged to
give the dogs drink this summer He
has bought a thousand two quart ba-
sins and the city council has allowed
him to distribute them about the city
In front of stores and houses, and the
tenants will be expected to see that
they are kept filled with water for the
benefit of the dogs The doctor got
the notion from the City of Mexico,
where storekeepers are required to
keep such basins at their doors. The
idea is good one and should reduce
the number of mad dog scares in Chi
cago this summer. There will be less
hydrophobia if the dogs can get water
whenever they want 1t.

Cannon In Kansas.

In invading Kansas, the stronghold
of the insurgents, Speaker Cannon Is
guided by cheap valor. not discretion.
He can make no converts. His pres
ence simply accentuates the situation.
Kansans know he represents the old
cry my party right or wrong" and
that in him the interests are persona
fed.
Speaker Cannon is "the man who
stood still" He comes down from the
times when parties pointed with pride
and when victory was sought by abus-
ing the opposition. Legislation was
dictated for a favored few and the
favored few reciprocated by large
campaign subscriptions.
These days have passed but Uncle
Joe does not know it. He still thinks
the end justif1es the means.
Uncle Joe wins a certain measure
of admiration for his pluck and game
ness, but the people do not admire
what he stands for. He is living in
reform era He can neither learn nor
unlearn. Aldrich, his colaborer in the
deld OF machiavelianism, is to retire
from scenes no longer congeniaI. but
Uncle Joe prefers to sink or swim
with the trusts and interests.
In this respect no one will deny him
The right to do as he pleases.

A Tariff Pretense.

To amuse the country during the
Campaign hints are already thrown out
that there is a fine prospect of a reform
of the tariff should the republicans OBJ
tain a. majority of the house in the
next congress. Thus Representative
Victor Murdoch Of Kansas, one of the
Insurgents, expresses the utmost conf
dence that the next congress, if repub-
lican, will accomplish a reduction of
exorbitant duties in certain schedules,
especially in woolens, cotton goods and
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1910-07-20

other textile fabrics. At the same time
reports come from the summer capital
at Beverly that the president intends
to hold councils with his new tariff
commission with a view to early and
necessary alterations of the Payne
Aldrich act. What these intended al
terations are it is not mentioned, lest,
perchance, it might prematurely arouse
the fears of trust beneficiaries of the
tariff.
With the Taft administration and its
followers the object of this announce
ment, it is plain enough, is to appease
the general discomfort by extending a
hope of tariff revision at an early day,
and thus secure another regular repub-
lican majority in the next congress.
Who can doubt this when all the reso-
buttons of regular republican state
conventions declare unequivocally for
the Payne-Aldrich bill, and when all
the reactionary candidates for congress
put themselves on the same platform?
On the other hand, Representative Muir
dock and a few other insurgents, with
whom party is prime consideration,
hope to win adherents and increase
their handful of members of the house
by holding out false hope of tariff re-
vision in a regular republican con-
gress.
But how any insurgent in possession
of his five senses can indulge such a
hope passes comprehension. Should
the Taft administration. in conjunction
with the regular republican congress
sional committee, accomplish the pur-
pose of securing a majority in the next
house, it would be justly taken as the
verdict of the country in favor of the
Payne-Aldrich tariff Not merely that;
it would be verdict in favor of Can
non, Aldrich, Smoot and all who made
the tariff. Any other conclusion would
be utterly absurd. In a congress con-
stituted under a popular mandate to
''let the tariff alone" the insurgents,
whether a few more or less, would be
in the proverbial condition of a cat in
a certain region without claws.
To hold out, then. the prospect Of
honest tariff revision from a republi-
can majority in congress, no matter
whence the suggestions may come, is
to play huge confidence game before
the country. The Old-time mock auc-
tons in New York city were respecta-
BILE in comparison with it. A republic
can congress elected this year means
no hope of tariff reduction and relief
from the predatory trusts for years to
come. Meanwhile the scientists and
experts of the tariff commission will
roam around Europe gathering alleged
until the appropriation of
S250G0 is spent, and there an end.
What transparent humbug is it all. to
be sure!

A good deal of our difficulty in get
ting through with the days work
arises from what we did or didn't eat
for dinner last night.
A soft snap is apt TO be found TO be
having n great many people sticking
to II.
If all were paid. according TO the
merits Of each as adjudicated by him
self it Is doubtful II there would be
enough 10 go around.
Nobody expects everybody 10 get TO
heaven. but each knows one who will
make the rifle.
II all averages up pretty well. The
one who Joy rides the most gets pinch
ed tina oftenest.
A fellow who always has an eye for
the main chance soon learns TO copper
all the others.
There is a large share of our popula-
ton who seem to think that dignity
ought to make up for diligence in this
world.
When n man gets out and hustles for
his living he doesn't have much time
for parade.
With a naughty disregard for the
admonition of his elders the gleesome
graduate starts out to prove his own
theories and incidentally to get it in
the neck.
If lot of the disorderly ones could
not use the Lord as a sort of waste
basket they would soon be swamped

Lack of Bait Starts New and Profitable
Industry.


Raising fishworms is a new industry
in Greenfield. Ind, and so far as
known is not even carried on In
small way in any other locality in the
Hoosier State. The scarcity of bait at
the northern lakes, where several for
tunate Greenfield lads spend the sum-
mers with their parents, led to the in
dustry.
Ordinary angleworms are obtained
regardless of size or condition and
placed in boxes prepared with soft fer
tile soil. They are then developed by
careful feeding. The food is milk and
sweetened water. On this the worms
thrive and become large and tempting
food for the fish. The fishermen ship
this carefully prepared bait TO the
lakes. and as a usual thing they are
savored with the big catches.
