1t has to be admitted that such figures

Toughest Question to Meet in
Years, Say Republican
Leaders.
HIGH MEAT BILLS
PROVE CONVINCING
Table of Comparative Prices An
swered by Reference TO Indus
trial Conditions in 1896.

NEW YORK, Nov. AFTER all the
threshing about over other questions,
Republicans and Democrats alike are
finding that the cost Of living is the
thing that IS likely to cut the chief
figure In this campaign, and lot Of
attention IS being given TO 1t all over
the country this week.
The exception TO this IS in the agricul-
tural communities. There it is not being
pressed by the Democrats, though the
Republicans are taking pains 10 remind
the farmers that high prices aren't
hurting them.
The literature OF the subject is edify-
ing, though much of it is in some meas
ure bewildering 10 ordinary folks who
are trying TO find out why their gro
Gerry and meat bills are higher.
One OF the favOrite documents which
the Democrats are widely distributing in
the cities. and where large numbers
work for fixed wages. is one which con-
tains this caption:
ASK the Republicans About These
Store Biusg'
Then follows a comparison Of two
store bills. one alleged 10 be for two
weeks in 1896. and the other alleged to
be for two weeks in 1910. Each bill
contains sixteen identical food articles
OF common household use. 1t IS shown
that two pounds Of salt pork have risen
from 10 cents in 1896 to a cents: five
pounds OF pork ribs from 30 cents 70
Sl.l0; four pounds butter from 81 cents
to SL44; two dozen eggs from 20 cents to
70 cents; a barrel Of -four from 1896 10
$3.50; five pounds roast beef from so
cents 70 S11O; and so on The total bill
for 1886 Is 800. and the total for 1910 Is
$ls.I&. In other words. the 1896 bill IS less
than half what the 1910 bill amounts 10.
Up to Republicans.
After setting forth the items and the
prices, the Democratic document pro-
ceeds:
The Republicans say you cannot af-
ford to disturb present conditions by re-
ducing the present tariff. Look at the
two store bills-ask the Republicans to
explain"
Now, what are the Republican doing
to counteract such figures as these7

FIRST PICTURE BOOK.

The Daring Idea That Was Carried Out
by Johann comsnius.
Some 300 years ago a German savant
had wonderful vision. At that time
children were taught to read by force
Of arms. so to speak. through hard
ships and with bitter toll on the part
Of teacher and Of child. 1t seems Gu
rious that the FIRST real step toward
tightening the labor of children as
they climb the ladder of learning was
the product of the Imagination not of
some fond mother or gentlewoman
teacher. but of a bewigged and beti-
tied university doctor.
1t was Johann Comenius. however.
who first conceived the daring idea
that children could be taught by the
aid Of the memory and the imagina.
ton working together. by means" az
he quantity expressed 1t. ''of sensuous
Impressions conveyed to the eye. so
that visual objects may be made the
medium Of expressing moral lessons to
the young mind and of impressing
those lessons upon the memory" In
other words. the good herr doctor had
the bright idea that picture books
could be useful to children. Comenius
made his first picture book and called
1t the "Orbis Pictus." 1t contains rude
woodcuts representing objects in the
natural world, as trees and animals.
with little lessons about the pictures.
1t is quaint volume and one that
would cause the average modern child
not a little establishment were 1t placed
before him.
As truly. however, as that term may
be applied to any other book that has
since been written. The "Orbis Pictus''
was an epoch making book. 1t is the
precursor of all children's picture
books. and modren childhood has great
cause to bless the name of Comenius.
