WHERE WE FALL DOWN.

Where most American people fall
down is in not recognizing their gov.
eminent, in city, county, state and
nation as part of their business and OF
their own concern. Most of us are
content to regard it as matter set
aside belonging to and responsible
from the men who happen to be in
authority by our vote, or by the vote
of other men over our protest. And
that is not true. Take the case OF
the city government, not specifically
here in Palestine, but in any town
and what does the average tax-payins
citizen know about the government,
about what is actually needed, or
what is actually being done? Prec'
ious little. 1t comes election time,
the average man goes to the polls and
votes for some man he happens to
like, and in nine cases out of ten the
voter never stops to figure as bust
ness proposition whether his choice
is a capable man for the place or
not. but votes for him because he
happens to be friendly to him or I'M
friendly to his opponent. This is
true to a large extent, and then is it
any wonder that often the govern
ment is not conducted with business
decision and system? The govern
ment is a great business undertaking,
just as running your store, factory or
shop, only vastly more important be-
cause it effects more people, and
every man who lives under the gov.
eminent is a stakeholder and has a
stockholders rights and responsible
ties The viewpoint as to government
is SO warped that in some cases the
servant of the people actually gets of
Tended if his masters-the public
offer him suggestions or criticises
his acts. However wise an official
head is he cannot at all times think
the clearest way, but is entitled tc

of floor covering. 1t has a vital re.
lation to the health, the very life, OF
the people.
And this imposition is all the more
criminal for the reason that a vast
proportion of the clothing or material
made in whole or in part of wool
must be imported, because, even with
this enormous protection to the wool

absorbed by the trust-the sheep in.
dustry has not developed to suffi-
cient extent to supply the domestic
demand. Mr.. Child declares that all
the wool grown in this country, If
represented in clothing, would serve
only to furnish each person with a
very short pair of knickerbockers.
And was this schedule the work OF
the present congress, the product OF
the extra session? Not at all. 1t is
the old Dingley schedule. Its iniqui
ties have been known for years. The
crime of the present congress was not
in making this schedule, but in not
correcting its atrocious injustices
But the wooden trust is the master OF
congress as at present organized. The
trust agreed, several months before
the tariff session, that it would not
ask for higher duties, but that il
would insist on the old schedule g
knew what it was doing; it knew its
men; it knew their power; its deci-
sion prevailed.
And the people pay this trust a
tribute as cruel and shameless in the
eXaction as ever was imposed by an
cient monarchs, and by many-too
many-accepted as meekly as was the
thraldom of the hereditary serfs of
old.-Kansas City Star.

SCHEDULE X.

K is on every mans back; it is over
him when he sleeps; under him when
he walks about in his home; it comes
on the winter wind to whisper fear in
| the consumptiyes ear; it fixes the
degree of warmth in the coat of the
laborer; it decides whether or not
country children may pillow their way
to school in warm rubber boots, with
warm mittens on their hands; it is
chiefly responsible for the discouraged
usefulness of the mother faces that
haunt our clothing stores at Christ
mas time-in fact, it dominates the
ketbook.-Richard Washburn Child
in Everybody's Magazine.
This is the introduction to one of
the most Illuminating articles that has
appeared on the tariff in a long time,
at least among such articles as have
been designed to instruct the average
reader or consumer on the iniquities
of the tariff system
The wooden schedule is boldly de-
clared by Mr.. Child to be the work of
one mantle head of the wooden trust
whose potential agents were those
leaders in congress who determined
just what the tariff should be. 1t
was designed by this man to give the
power of eXtortion to all the manufac-
turers in the trust and to discrimi-
nate not only against the consumer,
but also against the trusts chief COM
petitors, the carded wool manufactur-
ers. The latter can no longer make
cheap clothing out of cheap material,
even if they desire to do so, for the
reason that schedule X is so framed
as to put eXorbitant duties on the raw
materials so used, and which must be
imported in large quantities to meet
the demand
And these things have been accom-
plished by bold and defiant provisions,
carried out by the willing agents of
| the trust in congress, and by trickery,
jugglery and deception, intended to
deceive the country and even such
members of congress as are not ex-
perts in tariff-making. In a policy
| that reeks with injustice the duty is
the same on cloth or clothing that
contains small percentage of wool
| as on cloth or clothing that is all
wool. BY the same arrangement, fur
| niture that bears bit of wool in its
upholstering fabric; rubber boots that
have little wool in their lining: cot
ton coats that have wooden collars,
all bear the duty of 'all wool"
The eXtortion made possible, and
exercised. under the powers given to
the wooden trust by this schedule, is
an indefensible burden on every fam
lily or individual of small or moderate
means. 1t affects the cost of all
kinds of wearing apparel, of bedding,

We hear great deal these days on
the subject of what is music? There
are different viewpoints, to be sure
There is the technical experiences that
only artists can understand and appre-
ciate, and that singer can range
from one extreme note to the other is
considered marvel by such appre-
ciatiye ones. But to most of us music
means that ability with harmony that
can draw from us kindred sentiment,
making us laugh or cry with the
spirit of the music And of this kind
of musicians there are exceedingly
few. So few that some people never
.hearreal music. In our varied career
we remember to have heard but some
three or four musicians in all of our
lives.

Here is the final test. Comes now
news from Fort Worth, the city that
opens the gate into the vast western
empire of Texas, the city where in
the bygone days the panther laid his
feet at the brink of the Trinity, the

Texas as the garden spot of the world,
where opportunity commits assault
upon the wayfarer and clubs him in

NEW YORK, August 2.-Racing in
this State will end on September LIST.
This was confirmed today when the
officers of the Coney Island Jockey
Club held a meeting and decided to
transfer the futurity to Saratoga and
cancel the balance of the races which
were to be run in the fall.
The Blue Ribbon" race for two
year olds will be run on August 10Th,
The original date selected by the
Sheepshead Bay Club or Immediately
following the official close of the Sara.
toga meeting The stewards of tne
Jockey Club have to place their APP
proyal on the change before an official
announcement is made, but that is
only matter of red tape. AS further
indications that Sheepshead Bay will
not run the fall meeting, all the en-
ployees were informed today that
their services would no longer be re-
quired.
The termination of the season is
due to the directors liability law
which goes into effect on September
LIST. This measure holds the officials
of any track personally liable for any
infraction of the anti-betting laws.
AS the law now reads, it means that
all the county fair tracks in the State
will have to close up, for the direc
tors of these associations are in the
same boat as the officials of the racing
associations around Gotham.
Under the contemplated arrange
ments it is more than possible thai

in the season. jamestown will ther
follow Pimlico and wind up in time
for the winter meetings at Oakland

will be included.
Their opponents will be a picked
team from the Santa Monica Cricket

ten island, and one of the best players
in the country. The men will be re-
quired to bat, bowl and field exclusi.

wise the match will be regulation
one.
Standard bats and balls will be
used, ana the pitch viii be of regula-
ton length, consisting of mating laid
on oiled ground.
Lively interest is felt locally in the
outcome of the match, which will
probably be a very close one. Many
of the women have an expert knowl
edge of the game, and their team is
the one picked to win.
