PROTECT AGAINST GASOLINE TANK.
Perry J. Langley presented protest of
porpsrty.owners and residents in the vicin-
ity of High and Dean streets against the
9asolene tank recently erected BY the
Standard Oil Co. between High street and
the railroad. The protestsnts claimed it
was menace to their safety, because OF the
highly infiammable and explosive nature
Of the gasolene, and deprecated the value
Of their property.
Last year the Standard Oil Co. applied
to the city government for permission to
erect gssolepe tank at the same place.
Protest was made and the permission re-
fused. This year the company proceeded

How Good Health Tells.

Poor physical health handicaps
many girl workers and prevents the
highest development of their powers.
An anaemic brain produces poorer
work than one that is nourished by
blood rich in red corpuscles. The dys-
peptic girl is irritable. seedy. and out

on to make q special effort in her
work. Nerves" may make all the diff
ference between success or failure.
To keep her health up to a good
standard ought to be the aim of every
girl who wishes to make something
of her life. Too many girls allow
themselves to drop into poor health.

Safest to Fly H!Qh.

That it is safer for an airman to
fly high than comparatively near the
ground is indicated by meteorological
tests carried out on behalf of the
British air Office at Teddington. A
kite with a special recording appara-
tus has been sent up to various
heights. and it has been shown that
on a gusty day sudden fluctuations in
the pressure Of the wind-which are
an airman's peril-diminish percept-
IDLY as a kite ascends. What airmen
have discovered when in fight is that
dangerous gusts sweep over woods
and hills or through valleys. For this
reason when passing across country
they seek to maintain an altitude of
at least 1000 feet.

THE POLITICAL EFFECT.

Writing on behalf of the farmers in
opposition to the reciprocity bill, Mr..
S. NJ. Wallace Of Clay Center puts the
following smoke in the public pipe:
From a political standpoint it has
been asked, where will the protection.
list 20 since the democrats also are
divided on the question of protection?
Speaking for myself and voicing the
sentiments expressed by every we'll
informed farmer with whom | have
talked upon this subject, democrat or
republican, we will throw aside the
political affiliations Of years and go to
the free trade wing of the democratic
party, should this agreement become
a law, justifying ourselves upon the
ground Of equal rights to all, special
privileges to none"
That is to say, take away the far
mers protection, and he will proceed
to take away the protection of every
body else. Take away his special
privileges and he will adopt the motto,
equal rights to all, special privileges
to none" Mr.. Wallace would pro.
coed by going to the free trade wing
of the democratic party" Presume
bly,, however, those thus turned against
protective privileges would act through
whatever agency offered the result,
and this is as likely to be one party as
the other.
This means, if a true prophecy, that
the steel tariff, the tariff on WOODEN
and cotton goods, farm machinery and
all would come down as a result of
the reciprocity bill. For as the farmer
falleth, there will the tariff lie. Can
that be why John Dalzell and the rest
of the stand patters oppose the bill SO
bitterly? 1t means that reciprocity is
not to be considered by the farmer
with respect solely to its immediate
effect. He might lose by the reci-
procity bill alone, while gaining
grandly by the indirect effects to follow
as suggested by Mr.. Wallace.-Lin-

SCENARIOS WAR CURE.

SEWARD'S WAR CURE.
The report from Mexico that de-
monstration by the United States
might unite the insurrectionists and
the government party against a com.
mon foe, recalls that curious incident
of the Civil War when Secretary Sc.
ward proposed to Lincoln to deliberate
ly provoke war with France and Spain
in the expectation that the South
would '.jvin with the North in a CON-
mon cause"
Lincoln suppressed the memorandum,
and it was not made public until a
quarter of a century later. 1t was
dated April l, 1861, and was entitled,
Some Thoughts for the Presidents
Consideration" The document was
extraordinary, both in its criticism Of
the President and in its suggestions Of
policy.
1t began with the assertion that a
month mad passed since the Inaugural.
ton and that the administration was
still without policy, foreign or dom.
este. Therefore, a radical change was
urged. I'VE must change the Gues-
ton before the public" Seward said,
"from one upon slavery Or about sla-
very, for question upon union or dis
union" To do this he proposed that
war be declared against France and
Spain and that all the governments in
North and South America Ike organi.
zed in a crusade to enforce the Mon.
roe doctrine.
This policy, once decided upon,
must be carried out by someone with
out debate or discussion of any sort.
ut is not in my especial province"
the Secretary added, but l neither
seek to evade nor assume responsible
ity."
The Implication was that Lincoln
was failure as President, as had been
demonstrated by a months trial; that
the country needed a radical change
and that Seward vas willing to dis
place Lincoln as Chief Executive.
The proposal was so wild and its i'm
plicatiOns SO offensive that the Presi-
dent might readily have felt that it
made the position of his Secretary of
State untenable. A rupture in the
Cabinet, however, would have been
most unfortunate at that time, parti-
cularly as it would have involved the
man who had been the leading Repub.
lican ofthe country up to the time of
The national convention.
Whatever may have been Lincoln's
feelings in the matter he
made no sign of irritation. His reply
to Seward was calm summary of the
pointing out that the admin
stration was following a definite policy
in which Seward had hitherto concured.
[fa change of policy should seem
advisable the President himself must
IF course carry it out. But there seem.
ID to be no good reason for a change.
So far as is known neither man ever
to the subject again, but a few
weeks later the disillusioDed Seward
wrote, There is but one vote in the
cabinet and that is cast by the Presi-
lent. '-kansas City Star.

GIANTS OF THE CRIMINAL BAR


1t is undoubtedly true that in former
times, in all parts of the country, il
was considered more important and
more creditable to save a mans life OF
liberty than to get a verdict where
property only was concerned. These
days have passed, however, as far as
New York is concerned, and in a les
Ger degree, possibly, in nearly all the
other states; and despite the agitation
on the subject, they are never likely to
return. 1t is interesting to turn back
more than a century and quarter, to
the earliest days of the republic, and
the careers Of two lawyers who would
have been giants in any age or in any
country, and who were antagonistic in
character and purpose-Alexander
Hamilton and Aaron Burr. Both
men accepted criminal as well as civil
cases. One Of the greatest efforts of
Hamilton's life was his appearance for
one CrosswelI. charged with publishing
a scandaious libel upon Thomas Jefier.
son. The court was divided in its
verdict. but the prisoner was never
punished.
Aaron Burr, that cratic genius,
who lacked a balance wheel, is said
never to have lost q case in which he
alone was counsel. 1t is also of record
that he won a case in which, by q
queer trick of fate, his associate coun-
sci was Hamilton. 1t was a murder
case. The actions and manner of the
principal witness against the prisoner
seemed to Burr exceedingly suspicious
and it is said that both Burr and
Hamilton were undecided in their own
minds which was the guilty party, the
witness or the prisoner. Hamilton's
summing up was perfunctory. Burr
began to address the jury when it was
nearly dark. The witness for the pro-
secution was leaning against a pillar.
His face was pallid and covered with
perspiration. He listened inteD,Iy to
the lawyer. Suddenly Burr seized a
large candelabrum, and throwing the
light on the face of the witness, shouted
Behold the murderer, gentlemen"
The witness turned and rushed from
the court room, and the prisoner was
acquitted.-F. P. Ward, in Harper's
Weekly.
