That Sound Again.

1t Is very easy to fall out Of patience
with the Republican party. For Of all
thick-sknned, self satisfied, ponderous,
immovable animals, it is undoubtedly
the worst. Some poet it surely was.
with an Imagination that saw into the
essential hesrt of things, who dubbed it
the elephant. When once it has taken
its stand you can jab all day without
budging it. Building a fire underneath
is about the best way of obtaining pro-
gress.
Now just why the American people
prefer to deal with such an irresponsible
brute is often hard to comprehend. The
big point in his favor, of course, is his
intelligency. When, he does move. he
moves in the right direction; for he hap
pens to possess the ablest intellectuals
IN the business. But little less intelli-
gence and a somewhat more obligipg
spirit would surely do as well by the
country and every one would be in a
much more amiable frame of mind. So
why the elephant.
The answer is unfortunately all too
plain. 1t was given only the other day,
for example, in an inconspicuous obser-
walton Of the Hon. Champ Clark, Deme-
cratic leader in the House of Represen-
tatives. Said he Of the Republican
proposition to give plenary powers of
investigation to the tariff board:
The House Democrats are united in
their opposition to it.
Think of it, Here at last is q chance
for the country to obtain the informa-
ton which everyone wants-the facts
whereupon proper revision OF the tariff
by any party can alone be made.
And the Democrats will unanimously
oppose it-for fear, Of course, that j,
may help the Republicans get togetherl
OF course, the facts would ultimately.
II the Democratic dogma il correct, an
initiate the Republican party But
never mind that. Hang the principle
Of the thing-or even it's far-sighted
expediency. Let's be as pettily parti-
san as we can, say the Champ Clrk
Democrats.
Is it any wonder. that with such bray
resounding in the air the American
people turn back peevishly to the stub
born old elephant?-From the New
York Evening Sun, Ind't.

Appalachian Region
IS to be Developed
Exposition in Knoxville Next Fall VIII
Facilitate Opening Resources.

Development OF the resources Of
the Appalachian mountain region is
now in its infancy. The creation OF
the Appalachian forest reserve will
prove a great impetus to the section
OF the south included in the Appa-
lachian region, which covers portions
of the states OF Tennessee, West Vir-
ginia, Virginia, Kentucky, North and
South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama.
1t is for the purpose of furthering the
Appalachian development that the
great Appalachian Exposition has
been devised. to be held at Knoxville,
Tennessee, Sep. IL to Oct. IL, of this
year. The exposition will include ex-
hibits OF resources and commercial
and industrial products Of the Appa-
lachian region, and will be a compre-
heRsive presentation Of the great pos
sibilities of that section, which is one
of the richest in the whole world.
Coal, iron, gold, silver, lead, zinc, cop
per, barytes, marble, timber and rich
hardwoods are among the natural re-
sources of the Appalachians All
these are being extensively operated,
but the development now under way
is meager as compared to what will
be accomplished Rs a result of the
publicity given this section through
the Appalachian Exposition next fall.
1t is confidently expected that 35O, 900
people will see this exposition, which
will be upon scale SURPRISING any
thing In the south.

Machinery Adaftad to
Appalachian Region
Elaborate Displays That VIII Interest
Mining Hen and Firms Alike.


For the practical men, those who
visit fairs and ex9ositions for what
they may learn that may be Of prac-
teal benefit to them. the exhibits Of
machinery at the Appalachian Expo
sition, to be held in Knoxville, Tenn,
Sept. IL to Oct. ~. next, will hold in
tsrest seceLd 20 no other feature.
There will b. machinery display
that promises to exceed in many
ways any ever before shown in the
south A commodious section OF the
main building at the exposition has
been set apart for displays of ma
chinery, thirty-six spaces having been
allotted for this feature, and already
numerous requests for space have
been received from some of the larger
machinery dealers and manufacturers
OF the country. it is believed that the
applications for space will be more
numerous than the exposition can &C
commodate, and the display will.
therefore, not be confined to this
building. The more delicate machin-
cry, that which must be kept from
SAPOohAS, W III DC assigned 10 the
building, and in addition, there will
be quite an extensive display of farm
and mining machinery and that used
for Quarrying in another structure
closely adjoining the main machinery
building. Knoxville being In the
heart of vast coal and marble regions,
the mining and Quarrying machinery
displays will be one OF the features
OF the show. But there will also be
numerous displays OF agricultural and
other kinds OF machinery which, to
the practical, up-to-date farmer, will
be OF keener interest than any other
feature Of the show. The section Of
the main exposition devoted to ma
chinery displays has been 80 con-
structed as to afford a solid earth
foundation, which will admit of the
operation Of machinery, OF no matter
what weight and power, at full capac-
ity, and the visitor to the exposition
may see the actual tests of q complete
mill outfit

mination is TO be applauded, yet at the
same time little doubt exists as to
the success OF the undertaking. The
parcels post has proved eminently
successful in other countries, and
there is no reason why IL cannot be
established with the same success in
tdis country. John Wanamaker. as
probably everyone knows. when he
was postmaster general gave as the
four reasons why he did not recon

express companies. II is pointed out
now that only one reason now exists
and this reason is the one great ex-

Extradition Treaties.

Sec retary Knox, in deciding that
ChaIitch, the wife-slayer, mus. be
surrcneered to the Italian authorities
for trial, holds that perfect recipro-
city in the exchange of criminals is
not essential to the validity Of an ex-
tradition treaty. He refers to q num-
Der OF existing treaties between Great
Britain and other countries wherein
the obligation of one party to give up
fugatives from justice is not contin-
gent upon any obligation OF the party
of the other part. In fact, several of
these international conventions are in
terms unilateral, providing that Brit
ieh subjects shall be surrendered to
the other contracting party, although
tho latter is distinctly absolved from
any obligation to reciprocate.
Moreover, this government has on
more than one occasion stipulated for
assistance from foreign governments
IN the apprehension of fugatlve Grim
in3ls. even when we have been un.
ale TO grant like assistance, because
@; some legal or constitutional i'm
pediment. The neglect Or refusal of
the Italian government to deliver up
fugitive criminals from the United
States, therefore, should not be con-
IsiGered TO have nullifled the extradi-

tries. Even if such refusal should

CHRISTMAS GIFTS

The gift season is now at its heiSn.
and within the next few days millions
OF dollars will be spent in acquiring
presents for friends and relatives. Or
binary every day horse sense enters
into this consideration the same as
any other. The idea is to give some
thing that is useful or something that
is pleasing and will therefore be APP
prcc.ated beyond the spirit which
prompted the giving. 1t is a beauti-
ful custom, and it pleases us all TO
be remembered by our friends as it
pleases us 10 remember them.
But the chief JOY of the Christmas
tine is making glad the hearts of the
children whose holiday it is and with
them the gift enters more into their
JOY than the prompting motive.

that our skies remain forever over
cast. These days of trials are often
given TO us to test our moral strength
In order TO fit us for future respon-
sibilities. and IL We could but realize
their significance at the time, and the
part they are destined to play in
rounding out the rough edges OF our
character. the lessons they teach
would not seem so unnecessary or the
pain they cause so needless. Each
heart knows its own SORROWS, each
life its own regrets. and were we to
try and measure the woes OF this
world by the same standard our cal
| culations would prove nothing, for
the simple reason that n rule OF con-
duct which applies to one individual
can not always govern another. The
trials which others have TO endure
sometimes seem rather trivial when
contrasted with our own weighty
cares, and yet it is not possible for
us from the far-removed heights OF
our observations to have any clear
conception or what those trials may
really mean.-Charleston News and
