A Colorado girl took the polite and
suggestive way of rejecting an admir-
ers suit by handing him lemon. In
stead Of getting a little ice and sugar
and converting his prize into a bever-
age that would have had a tendency to
cool him of, he placed a revolver in
his mouth and blew off his head. This
is not a very important item of news
nor is it worthy Of extended comment
n only goes to show just how foolish
some men can act.

One thing is certain, however. If the

HOW THE TARIFF WORKS.

Under the Payne tariff, imports are
larger than ever before. For the
first IL months operation of the pres
ent tariff imports are $4,000, 900
greater in value than in any IL months
under any previous tariff. More i'm
ports come in free under the present
tariff than under any tariff, save
those that laid no duty on sugar. In
II months, 49.14 per cent OF the i'm
ports came in free. This has never
been equalled, save when sugar was
free or the last year of the Wilson
tariff, when wool and other articles
were imported in anticipation of a
duty.
The portion of imports free, under
the Wilson law, was 4S.S2 per cent.
under the Dingley tariff, the last, 1t
was ABB. The Payne law admits
4914 free. The average duty of the
Payne tariff on dutiable goods is the
lowest yet for 20 years. (save 1861
The Payne tariff average rate ad
valorem is 41.19 per cent. The Ding
ley rate was 45.76 per cent, the Will

were s307,053,3s1. The Payne tariff
has brought, with the SOLITARY ex-
ceptions noted in its first IL months

NAMES FOR NEW BATTLESHIPS
| Ever since the last proposal to build
more battleships was put forward the
Navy Department has been sorely per-
picked to find names for new vessels
| of that class. The system heretofore
| followed has been to name the battle
ships after the states and the cruisers
| enough American cities to go round
| even If the navy increases to mammoth
proportions. But the department has
nearly run out of names of states.
When the problem came up for con-
| sideration a short time ago only the
state names of Nevada and Oklahoma
remained unused. Three and perhaps
four new battleships might be au,
! thorized. Since then the names OF
Arizona and New Mexico have be-
come available. But what shall be
done when these four are given tc
| new ships?
1t seems self-evident that if the navy
| is increased in size new plan will
have to be, decided upon. 1t Is doubt
| full that the robbing of the present
| battleships of their names would mee'
| with approval. The case of New Yorl
| indicates that. Nor is the English
method likely to meet with popular
favor. The Navy, Department may
eventually have to fall back on tbs
Indian names of many of our lake:
and rivers.-Cleveland Leader.

Republican voters elected
Gov. Burke, two years ago, by
the small majority of about 1000,
while the balance of the repub-
lican ticket received nearly 30, 900
majority. Gov. Burke has given
no better administration of state
affairs than a republican would
have done-but he has had the
power to misrepresent a great
republican state by a democratic
U. S. senator, and came near
filing both senatorial seats with
democrats. If the republicans of
this great state want to take
further chances on embarrassing
the national administration they
might just as well vote against
McCumber and Gronna as to
place at the head of the state ad-
ministration a man who would
replace either one of them with
a democrat. Republicans of the
Roosevelt and Taft stamp ought
to think of these things. -Cassel-

Spoilers in PENNSYLVANIA

A report comes from Pennsylvania
tn the effect that special agents Of the
post Office department are travelling
ove the country dropping into ews-
paper ofaces when least expected, to
examine subscription lists, to ascer-
tain if the regulation requiring pay
ment of subscriptions is being OBJ
served.
1T is very dangerous business for .
newspaper publisher to send papers to
subscribers who are more than twelve
months in arrears" says the Towanda
(Pa.) Review. "To be deprived of the
second-class mailing privilege, which
is the penalty for noncompliance with
the rulings. puts q newspaper out of
business, for the expense of putting q
one-cent stamp on every paper mailed
amounts to much more than the profits
on the entire subscription business, to
say nothing of the increased amount
of labor which would be required in
a%fixing the stamps.

stand as before with the Repub-

clean government. The ticket
which we publish at the head of

this result. We not only will
support it from top to bottom
