FRON OTHER PENS
A TASK FOR THE COLONEL


The Australian commonwealths have
set their faces firmly against invasion
of their territory by yellow immigrants
They propose to establish a strictly
European power on the flank of the
Asian Continent. In carrying forward
this ambitious project, however. they
have encountered one very unexpected
and serious obstacle. Their census
tables indicate such a decline in the
Australian birth rate as to show no
increase of the native-born population
Without immigration there would be
no growth. The death rate balances
the birth rate. AS means of remedy
government assistance is given to mar
ried immigrants with children. Inn
migration is encouraged by the remis-
sion of steamship fares for such
families. But this is a measure of help
that does not go to the seat of the evil.
There are great cultivable spaces of
land with enticing opportunity for
shepherds and farmers; there is in
creasfng commerce and worldwide de-
mand for the products of Australian
fields and mines; but, alas! there is no
correspondent human productivity; no
suitable coming-on of children. Here,
then, is a great opportunity for Roose-
welt. The Colonel should at once HE
himself to Melbourne or Sidney and
begin campaign against race suicide.

Tom Wagstaff is not the first man
OF the name who has been a candidate
for governor of Kansas. In 1862 the
Onion state convention nominated

Carney was the Republican nominee for
governor and, being from Leavenworth,
he carried the state by nearly two to
one-Leavenworth Post.
AS related by the Lyons News: What
might have been a serious accident to
the water wagon happened early yester-
day morning. The driver was making
his regular drive around the square
when suddenly the heavy spray of water
at the rear of the wagon was taken
unawares by the sudden cold snap and
froze into a solid mass of ice, effectual
ly freezing the wagon to terra frna.
The sudden halt was an awful shock
to the good old team. By the kindness
and pushing qualities of some of our
autos and Lyons boosters, the mass OF
Ice was broken away from the ground
and the wagon proceeded on it's way

melons and their winter overcoats were
unwise. Ii is well not to be lulled into

my feet slipped and 1 went sliding
down the roof like creased lightning. I

HOW THE TARTFF IS WORKING.

That the new tariff law is working
out pretty well, despite the conten-
tions of its critics, many of whom are
of the unfair type. is made apparent
by bulletin which has just been issued
by the bureau of statistics of the fed
eral department of commerce and la
bor. 1t shows that the imports under
the new tariff have increased 33 per
cent in manufacturers materials, 26
per cent in finished manufactures,
and 3 per cent in food stuffs. This
statement is the result of a compari-
son of the import figures for the
eight months. August 1, 1909, to
March 81. 1910. with those of the cor
responding months of the preceding
year.
The bureau of statistics groups it's
import figures in five great classes:
crude materials for use in manufac-
turing, manufactures for further use
in manufacturing, manufactures
ready for consumption, foodstuffs
crude, and foodstuffs manufactured.
The value of crude materials for use
in manufacturing imported in the
period August 1, 1909, to March 81,
1910, aggregated 401 million dollars,
against 29S million in the same
months of the preceding year, an in
crease of "a II per cent, manufactures
for further use in manufacturing, 1876
million dollars, against 149 million
last year, an increase of 81 per cent;
manufactures ready for consumpt tion
252 million dollars, against 200 mil
lion last year, an increase of 26 per
cent; and foodstuffs of both groups,
215 million dollars, against 20S mil
lion last year, an increase of 8 per
cent. Combining the two classes of
manufacturers materials, the total
for the months period of 19O9-1O is
596 million dollars, against 447 mil
lion in the corresponding period a year
earlier, an increase of SO per cent.
The principal articles forming the
class, crude materials for use in man
ufacturing, are: hides and skins, india
rubber, wool, silk, cotton md fbers.
Hides and skins imported in the 8
months August 1, 1909, to March 81.
1910, amounted to rs million dollars,
against so million in the correspond
ing period of last year; india rubber, 70
million dollars, against AZ million last
year; wool, 40 million dollars, against

dollars, against Sc II million last year;
fibers, "a million dollars, against 21
million last year: and cotton II mil
lion dollars, against million in the

Among the chief articles forming

Boards in the NAVY.

The French minister of marine is
troubled in his soul about a certain
Quartermaster who refuses to sacrifice
a beard IA inches in length. thereby
defying the officials rules It is a case
of cashiering the offender or amend
ing the regulations. We have had
some trouble Of this kind in our own
navy. When Mr.. Hugh Childers was
first lord of the admiralty he attempt
ed at the suggestion of Prince Lein-
ingen then captain of the royal yacht,
to abolish shaving in the navy.
There is more bad language" wrote
the prince, made use of during the
quarter of an hour devoted to shaving
than during any part of the day, and
no wonder. Jack has had three hours
on deck ever since 4 a. m; perhaps
he has been aloft during most of the
time, or else he has been on the look
out steaming head to wind. Down at
last he comes at six bells with his
face as hard as iron, a bad razor, a
small bit of broken looking glass
about the size of a half crown, very
often a wet deck to stand on, the ship
rolling or pitching heavily"
The old officers of the service
opposed the proposed change. Mr..
Childers submitted the matter to the
queen, who took her usual common
sense view of the affair.
Her own personal feelings she
wrote, would be for the boards without
the mustaches, as the latter have
rather a soldierlike appearance, but
then the object in view would not be
obtained, to prevent the necessity of
shaving Therefore, it had better be
as proposed-the entire beard, only it
should be kept short and very clean.
On no account should mustaches be
allowed without boards; that must be
clearly nderstood.-Lordon Daily
