Not to Be Pitied

A traveller passing through the
Broad Top mountain districtein in north.
,ern Bedford county, Pennsylvania
last summer came across across a lad
of sixteen cultivating a patch oil
miserable potatoes. He remarked
upon their unpromising appearance
and expressed pity for any one that
had to dig living out of such soil.
II don't need no pity" said the boy
resentfully.
The traveller fastened to soothe his
wounded pride. But in the offended
tone of one who has been misjudged
the boy added: "I amt as poor as
you think. I'm only workin' here. I
don't own this place."

Broadway Central hotel. where he
had lived the life of a hermit
living in a hotel on Broawday?
That may seem strange TO
many persons who in their
minds have always associated
hermits with caves or solitary
novels in the woods or mountains,
yet it is a fact that MARTINEZ lived
in the Broadway no tel for more
than thirty years, as much a
hermit as ever crouched in a cave.
He vas at one time a banker.
but retired from business more
than thirty years ago. For some
reason he developed strong
ahtipathy against what he called
"a church ridden" world and
withdrew from it, s%ecluding him
self with his library of books on
history and philosophy in a room
or the upper floor of the Broad
way Central hotel.
He paid his bills promptly but,
kept strictly to himself end spoke
to no one, not even to the en-
ployees of the hotel. Sometimes
he did not leave his room for

AUTOMOBILE AND HORSE

With the automobiles every
day invading the provinces In
which the horse held undisputed
sway. it has been for a long time
the impression generally. the end
of the horse age, if not within
measurable distance, was at any
rate not far remote. The gradual
replacement Of the horse by the
automobile hes so constantly
d avn attention to the fact that
the horse is becoming less and less
noticeable in the streets that have
lent unmistakeable coloring to the
popular view.
The new year book of the De-
partment Of Ag i~culture has how
ever given a decided check to the
impression that the horse will
soon be put out of date by the
automobile that its numbers will
dwind G down until il become. a
rarity and la'er on a freak with
a name as long as those effectually
disguised the identity of certain
extinct monsters closely associated
with the name and philanthropy
of Mr.. Carnegie.
1t appear from the latest
statistics that the horse has in.
creased more than SO per cent
during the last ten years in the
United States or from $1,000, 600
in 1904 to $4,000. GOO in 1910.
Moreover, Il cir increase has not
discounted their value fer in 1900
the estimated average value Of
farm horses was S44 per head,
while in 1910 it has risen to sos
for the same class Of horses.
These figures are enough to
show that the horse is still prov.
ing its value in spite Of the auto.

THE PRESIDENTS VETOES

Congress adjourned yesterday
afternoon. In the last hours of
the session President Taft sent in
his veto of the revision of the
cotton. iron ard steel and chemical
schedules of the Payne-Aldrich
tariff law. He had already vetoed
the revision of the wooden sched-
ule, a schedule that he said in his
Winona speech last year was
indefenisble. and the farmers
free list bill.
His yetOes of these bills show
that he vas not sincere in his
Winona speech or that he has since
gone yer body and soul TO the
manufacturing interests of the
country and has no thought of the
countless thousands who consume
their products.
If the wool schedule of the tariff
law was "indefensible" in 1910,
when President Taft was trying
to still the storm of an outraged
people, it is more indefensible tc-
day.
In the election last yea the
country voiced It's opinion of the
Payne-Aldrich tariff law in no I'M
certain manner. That opinion
conceded with the views of Presi-
dent Taft as expressed at Winona
and resulted in the complete over
threw of his party in the house
and greatly reduced its majority
in the senate. Notwithstanding
this expression Of the people at
the ballot box, President Taft
deliberately turns the county over
to the tender mercies of the
greedy manufacturers.
These vetoes do not settle tariff
revision. 1t delays it for awhile,
but the contest between the masses
of the people and corporate greed
Will go on until the party of
special privilege is swept from
every department of the govren-
ment. And that time is not far
distant.
