MT. ROOSeVelt's Unapplied Principles

When MT Roosevelt declared at osa- watomie that "one of the fundamental necessities in a representative govern ment such as ours is to make certain that the men to whom the people dele gate their power shall serve the people by whom they are elected, and not the special interests"
 As a general statement this is correct, but MT. Roosevelt failed to furnish speci- fications-failed to fit his general prin- ciple to present circumstances. He should, for example, have levelled his indict- ment straight at the men who concocted a tariff at the behest of manufacturing trusts and combinations, thus enabling them to mark their goods up to the tariff limit, thereby taxing consumers and in- creasng the cost of living.
 No modern conspiracy against the peo- pie and in behalf of special interests equals in magnitude the Aldich tariff. The manufacturing trusts, secure from foreign competition behind the Aldrich wall had but to form a. home combina- ton to enable them to mark up their goods to the tariff limit. This they have done until today the various tariff rates are nothing but tax rates on consumers.
 The men who concocted this tariff. which Mir Taft has declared to be the best ever devised, forgot the people in their haste to serve the trusts. To say that MT. Roosevelt does not know this would be to impeach his intelligence, his sense of public sentiment, and no one has the hardihood to do that. He is, in fact, the best judge of public tidal waves in the land.
 Tn the course of his osawatome speech he did say:
 '"rhere is a widespread belief among our people that, under the methods of making tariffs which have hitherto ob- fluential Probably this Is true of both the big interests and the little interests. These methods have put a premium on interests have gotten more than the sei fish small interests The duty of Con- gress is to provide method by which all that receives consideration. To this end there must be an expert tariff com mission. wholly removed from the possi. bilty of political pressure or of improper business influence. Such commission can find out the real difference between cost of production. which is mainly the difference of labor cost here and abroad. As fast as its recommendations are made, | I believe in revising one schedule at a l time. A general revision of the tariff almost inevitably leads to log-roliing, and | the subordination of the general public 1 interest to local and special interests | This is too academic, too hazy, too in definite to reach the case before the
 people There is no reference, no allu- sion to the Aldrich tariff, and it is the
 Aldrich tariff that oppressed the people today. The ex-President did say at
 osawatomie. We must drive the special interests out of politics. but he did
 not specify the grievous taxation those interests had imposed on consumers iu

FROSTY NIGHTS.

FROSTY NIGHTS. Ere long, when autumn breezes blow And nights are getting cold And breathless tales of long ago By cracking fires are told. What ruddy pictures in the flames Will dance before our eyes, What jolly quips and merry games Witl glad the hour that flies On golden wings, An, winter time Is best of all, we'll say; And when the fields are white with rime And blizzards rule the way, All snug at home, methinks, we'll bides Q And blithely toast our toes, Nor care what storms may rave outside, How drear the landscape shows!

The Iron Market

The local pig iron market has A much better tone this week than it had week or two ago and an advance in prices ID the near future Is predicted in some quarters. Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Cincin- nati report says:
 The week has shown better results in inquiry, sales and general spirit than for a considerable period and the outlook. while little changed from recently, may De said to be on the upgrade Local conditions have been reflected in other districts to a greater or less degree and the amount of iron bought during the week would foot up well.
 At that, there was not. by a good deal, as much iron bought as inouiries called for, the principal reason being that in connection with inquiries for ton mage extending over the balance of this year was additional tonnage for deliv- cry in 1911 and 1t has been the rule that. while this years business was acceptable to the furnaces next years business is still unattractive to them and as a re- suit very little of such tonnage was closed.
 The buying for this year has been somewhat of surprise in the light of purchases made before and while not general, this action by many concerns in different lines shows a keeping up of business which is very satisfactory. The leading pipe interests have been active and there is quite large tonnage now under negotiation.
 There Is no change in prices and as the last four months of the year advance, there is less range in figures for this years delivery. The interesting point will come when furnaces generally are in a position to quote for next year. They cannot consistently do so now at anything like present figures and others do not seem to appeal to buyers
 Coke is little more active without much change in price. Production is reported somewhat less."

THE RETURN.

THE RETURN. The summer girl is back in town Her smiling face all freckled brown, The skins likewise peeled off her nose And, sakes alive! you'd neer suppose She could remove that coat of tan And put those freckles meath the ban, And be as white and eke as fair AS when last winter, on the stair, She dazzled you with roguish glance And made you wish you stood chance. But never mind, the summer girl, Who blistered where the breakers whirl And, from Old Sol. who's just the sun, Received those freckles, one by one, Knows what to do. She'll hump herself, Take jars and bottles from the shelf And little mops and brushes, too, Required for what she has to do, And shortly. thanks to salves and cream, She'll reappear a radiant dream.

New York City. Great Population

New York is the only city whose popu lation is given by the census bureau &C., cording to boroughs. as well as in the aggregate. The total population within the boundaries of the city of New York, sometimes called Greater New York is 47e6,ssS. which, by the way is about S6,5OO more than was officially claimed. It is safe to say that no other city in the United States will beat New York.
 The reason that the population of Brooklyn, Manhattan, the Bronx and all the other boroughs is announced sep arately is because each borough has in large degvee local self government Its borough hal its borough president and borough council But they are all uni fled under one mayor and one police de- partment.

POPE GAN NOW MAKE
SEVENTEEN CARDINALS
England and US. Each Seek
the Red Hat.

Rome, an. 17.-There are at present
no fewer than seventeen vacancies in
the sacred college of cardinals, and
high hopes are entertained by Catholic
dignitaries all over the world that at
the coming consistory Pope Plus x
may bestow the red hat upon them.
Ordinarily, the sacred college should
consist of seventy cardinals, but this
number has scarcely ever been reach
ed, owing to the custom to leave sew
eral seats vacant, so that in the event
Of the sudden death of the Pope, his
successor would have several hats at
his disposal.
The members of the sacred college
at present number only SO, of whom SO
are Italians and 20 foreigners. Some
nations complain that they have been
neglected lately, and many countries
desire to be more fully represented in
the highest body of the Roman Cath
olic Church.
From the United States there has
come the loudest and most bitter COM
plant. It is pointed out that there
are 100000 Roman Catholics in the
United States, in addition to those in
the Philippines, Porto Rico and Guam,
and that, therefore, the United States
becomes the fourth Roman Catholic
power in the world, following immed-
lately after France, Italy and Austria.
America had only one cardinal, while
Spain, with only 18,000,000 Catholics,
and with considerable less influence in
the world, has from five to seven car
dinals.
Both in the celestial and lay cir
cles Of the United States the opinion is
unanimous that America should have
a large number Of cardinals The diff
fculty, however, is as to which candi-
dates should be chosen for the high
position. Among to favorites are Mgr.
Farley, the archbishop of New York,
and Mgr. Quigley, the archbishop of
Chicago, who have the largest number
of Catholics in their dioceses. Arch
bishop Ireland, of St. Paul, also is
supposed as being the best exponent
Of American spirit, and Mgr. Ryan
archbishop of Philadelphia, as being
the doyen Of the American hierarchy
England is another nation which is
strongly advancing her claims to be
honored by the Pope. Ever since Car
dinal Vaughan died in 1903 she has
not had a cardinal Of her own Ire
land, even, has only one cardinal
Cardinal Logue, archbishop of Arm
agh, but the Emerald Isle can claim
two other cardinals of Irish origin
Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Bal
timore, and Cardinal Moran, archbish-
op of Sydney.

CHURCHES TO BACK UP
THE PLAY ON SUNDAY.
If Plays Will Teach Moral
Lessons.

New York, Jan. IA movement is
Sunday night, to present plays which
have been approved by a committee OF
ministers. DR.. Percy Stickney Grant
of the Church of the Ascension, is said
to be at the head of this movement, and
he has associated with him in the mat
ter a number of the other ministers in
New York who are regarded as pro-
gressive in their views.
Every effort has been made to keep
this plan quiet, but there is no doubt
that the matter is being seriously con-
sidered and that two ministers visited
Governor Hughes last week.
Their visit was for the purpose Of
ascertaining from him the legal difficult
ties to be encountered if such a plan
were instituted. At present vaudeville
houses and moving picture shows are
open on Sunday under the so-called
concert" law and by complying with
certain technicalities are free from in
reference.
The ministers are understood TO
have asked Governor Hughes for
statement of the law bearing on this
matter.
1t is not the intention of the minis
ters interested to throw down the bars
to indiscriminate Sunday performance
es by any means. They suggest that if
a committee be named, to consist of
ministers and other men of whose al
trustic motives no doubt could be en-
tertained, no attack could consistently
be made upon the plan.
They suggest that certain named
theatres be opend on Sunday and that
the plays presented be those which
teach a moral lesson and which are to
be passed upon and accepted by a,
committee of censors. In this way the
theatres could be made part of the
general movement toward the uplift, il
which the ministers taking part in this
are concerned.
