Great Baseball PIay,

What was the greatest baseball
play you ever saw" asked a friend of
Governor-elect John w. Tener.
1.-THE greatest play l ever saw" said
he, took place in IN amateur game
on a town lot at Charleroi. The teams
were playing on a wet field and an
outfielder who wore a derby hat went
after a high fly. He came to a little
pond and taking his eye off the ball
made a jump to cross it. AS he was
leaping the ball struck him on the
head, went through the crown of his
hat and lodged there. The base run
ner was out and the fielder had not
touched the ball with his hands. Can
you beat it?"-Washington Core

The EaIsItx Of "Protectlon."

H N"
Should protection make one
honest campaign under true colors,
announcing it's purpose as a measure
to give the steel trust, the cotton and
wooden goods trusts, the implement
trust and all other trusts more for
their goods than they are worth
abroad. it would be buried in a deep
grave, face downward, with no other
mourners at the funeral than the en-.
riched benefciaries who had grown
and we're growing corpulent through
differing the public under the sham
and guise Of protecting the public.
The awakening evidenced in the re-
cent election does not indicate an Inn
poyerishment of the people, but 1t
evidences an indignant public's com.
ira into an intelligent understanding
Of the real purpose and results OF
modern protection, it becoming a
recognized fact that equitable govern
ment and protection are incompati-
BILE, and that vitality in the one works
the extinguishment of the other.
Protection means donation of one
mans earnings to another mans en-
richment, and the discrimination Is
the same whether the donation be 10
per cent. or rs per cent, hence there
is no such thing as scientific adjust
ment of schedules unless 1t be con-
struction Of a scheme for scientific
methods of graft. ANY movement.
therefore, TO! readjustment Of tariff
schedules from the standpoint of pro-
lection is a move to perpetuate graft
in some degree.-From a Letter from
H. B. Kelly to a Member of Congress.

Foreign rrade-DomostIc Rights.

Build up foreign trade If you can,
but do not do 1t at the expense of the
American people," said Mr.. Frank B.
Kellogg, special assistant to the at
torney general, in his argument on
the Standard Oil case before the SUI
preme court.
There seems no sound justification
for the practice of selling abroad OF
American manufactures at lower rates
than are charged in the domestic mar
ket. Yet this practice Is common I'M
der the existing tariff system. Pro
lection is demanded for the American
manufacturer, but 1t is frequently
used, not for protection against for
eign competition, but as license to OPP
crate domestic monopolies.
The real status of the American
manufacturer, as to his needs of pro-
lection, is shown when he sells In an
unprotected country like England, for
example. Yet congress continues to
grant protection to the sugar trust
while that trust shows that it can sell
its products in England, marine
freight added, for approximately two
cents per pound less than 1t exacts in
this country, where it has a monopoly.
And sugar is only one of very many
American products sold for less
abroad than at home.

PAINFUL FINGER NAILS CURED

"Ihave suffered from the same trou-
BILE painful finger nails) at different
periods Of my life. The first time of
its occurrence, perhaps twenty-five
years ago, after trying home remedies
without getting helped, I asked my
doctor to prescribe for me, but it was
not for a year or more that my nails
and fingers were well. The inflamma-
ton and s%uppuration began at the
base of the finger nail. Sometimes it
was so painful that l had to use a
poultice to induce suppuration. After
the pus was discharged the swelling
would go down until the next period
Of inflammation, possibly not more
chan a week or two afterwards. These
frequent infiammations resulted in the
loss of the nail. l had sometimes as
many as three fingers in this state at
one time.
Perhaps ten years later l began
again to suffer from the same trouble.
Again l tried various remedies, among
them a prescription from a doctor of
q friend of mine, who had suffered
from a like trouble. This seemed to
help somewhat for a time, but it was
not a permanent cure; next tried a
prescription from my own doctor, but
this was SO irritating to the sensitive,
diseased skin that l could not use 1t.
I began to use Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. I had used the Cuticura
Ointment previously on my children's
scalps with good effect. l did not use
the Soap exclusively, but l rubbed the
Cuticura Ointment into the base of
the nail every night thoroughly, and
as often beside as I could. I had not
used 1t but a few weeks before my
nails we're better, and in a short time
they were apparently well. There
was no more suppuration, o inflam-
nation, the nails grew out clean
again. One box of Cuticura Ointment
was all that I used in effecting a
cure" (Signed) Mrs. l.. J. Horton,
Katonah, N. Y, Apr. 10, 1910. On
Sept. 81, Mrs. Horton wrote: 81 have
had no further return Of the trouble
with my finger nails"

TO FRAME THE TARIFF BILLS
Personnel Of Committee Selected by
the Democrats to Do Inn
portant Work.

The country will be interested in
the IA Democratic representatives Sc
iected by the caucus In Washington to
frame the tariff bills that will be in
PRODUCED in the Sixty-second congress.
OF the IA Democrats who are to form
the majority of the ways and means
committee in the next congress, four
are minority members of the commit
tee In this congress: Oscar ". On
derwood Of Alabama, Francis Burton
Harrison of New York, Choice Boswell
Randell of Texas, and William G..
Brantley Of Georgia. 1t is worthy Of
note that only four came from impor-
tant manufacturing cities: Mr.. Under
wood, who will be chairman of the
committee, from Birmingham, which
has blast furnaces, rolling mills, steel
works and railroad machine shops;
MI. Harrison from New York, Mr.. An
drew James Peters of Massachusetts
from Boston, and Mr.. William Hughes
of New Jersey from Paterson, which
has locomotive and bridge works and
manufactures of cotton, wool, silk,
linen and velvets.
Ten of the men who will frame the
tariff bills come from small towns. For
instance, the Hon. Cordell Hull Of
Tennessee, from Carthage, which in
1900 had a population of 500; the Hon.
Ollie James of Kentucky from Marion
Il, 064); the Hon. Claude Kitchin Of
North Carolina from Scotland Neck
(1,34S); the Hon. w. 8. Hammond Of
Minnesota from St. James (2,067); the
Hon. Henry T. Rainey Of Illinois from
| Carrollton (2,355); the Hon. Lincoln
Dixon of Indiana from North Vernon
(2,823); and the Hon. A. Mitchell Pal
mer of Pennsylvania from Stroudsburg
(3,450). The remaining three are
claimed by more populous commune
ties: The Hon. Dorsey w. Shackle-
ford Of Missouri by Jefferson City
(9,664), which has foundries, shoe and
carriage factories, breweries and cigar
manufactures; the Hon. G. B. Randell
of Texas by Sherman ~(10,243), which
boasts machine shops, foundries, cot
ton, cotton-seed oil and flour mills;
and the Hon. William G. Brantley of
Georgia by Brunswick (9,0S1), which
has cotton mills and canning and cot
ton compress factories and is a phos-
phate port.
The veteran Of the Democratic tariff
bill trainers is Mr.. Underwood, who
dates from the Fifty-fourth congress;
Mr.. Brantley made his bow in the
Fifty-ffth; Mr.. Shackleford made his
first appearance in the Fifty-sixth; Mr..
Randell in the F~ifty-seventh; Mr..
James, Mr.. Hughes, Mr.. Kttchin and
Mr.. Rainey in the Fifty-eighth; Mr..
Dixon in the F%ifty-ninth; MI. Harri-
son, Mr.. Hammond, Mr.. Hull and Mr..
Peters in the Sixtieth, and Mr.. Palmer
in the Sixty-first.

FOR EXTRA SESSION
SIR. LOUIS POST DISPATCH SEEKS
IMMEDIATE ACTION.
Gives Reasons Why People Should Be
Relieved Of Ubiquitous Tariff
Taxes as Quickly as
Possible.

The st. Louis POST Dispatch presents
the following reasons why an extra
session Of congress should be called
for immediate revision of the tariff:
Because the wool and wooden sched-
ule (K) Of the Payne-Aldrich tariff is
"indefensible," according to President
Taft. A wooden blanket, imported last
week from Glasgow, weight S6 pounds,
value $22, paid duty at 83 cents a
pound and 40 per cent. additional.
That is $20.68 on a $22 blanket;
freight, storage, etc., $4.04, or $24.72
protection" to be added to the Ameri-
can selling price of foreign and do
nestle wooden blankets, plus the ne
tailer's profits on the duty-more than
q doubling Of the price to the con-
sumner.
Because the American wooden trust
gets the lions share Of these out
rageous taxes In added prices on It's
products. In 1907 the United States
treasury got only $4,000 e from
a years importation of wooden blank
cts. The tariff tax was prohibitory.
But the trust got double prices on all
its enormous product sold to the
American monopolized market.
Because this system applies to all
wooden cloth, to wooden garments, to
wooden underwear, to wooden dress
goods for women and children, to all
wooden fabrics covered by the infa'
nous schedule K.
Because these prohibitory duties on
woolens lay the lives of the people,
during the winter, open to consump-
ton and pneumonia. "Shoddy' at a
high taxed price, must do for warm
wooden garments among the poor.
Because fiannels for underwear are
taxed (schedule Ky on from $3.50 per
cent. up to 1887 per cent. and the
highest tariff tax is put OF the cheap
est grades for common use.
Because the tariff tax (schedule K)
on women's and children's wooden
dress goods average 100 per cent,
thus doubling the price, or causing a
scaling down of this quality.
Because this schedule X was the re-
suit of a corrupt deal between the
wooden trust managers of New Eng
land and the political 'standpat" sena-
tors of the northwestern states, repre-
senting a few millionaire wool grow
ers.
Because the consumers, nearly 100,-
900, 900 Americans, were not consid-
cred in this corrupt deal and Presi-
dent Taft stated he was unable to
break 1t up when the Aldrich tariff
was Matched in the senate.
Because the people voted last No
vember to smash this blood tax at
once, along with the other tolls on
food, cotton cloth, steel and iron,
lumber, paper, coal, building mate
rails and all the necessaries of life.
Do the people want it down now-or,
when they are passed away and a tar
if commission reports progress?"

mo, no; the Irish can't stand mean

in Ireland, some go or 70 years ago,
when a poor family lacked a coffin
they made the corpse beg for 1t.
This custom, alas! sometimes led
to imposture. Thus, Thirsty O'Grady
and his friends wanted money badly
once, and O'Grady was assigned to
act the corpse. So they laid him on
a bier outside the door and they put
a pewter plate beside him for the
pennies.
"As O'Grady lay there, so still, with
closed eyes, an old woman stopped
and dropped sixpence into the plate.
Then she began to take out change.
A penny, tuppence, threepence she
took out, and O'Grady couldn't stand

Would Increase Power of Senate.

The house Of representatives Is
more responsive to the wishes Of the
people than the senate, not because 1t
is larger, but because its members
are elected directly by the people
every two years. The trainers of the
constitution intended that it should be
the more responsive body and that
the senate should be a check upon 1t.
The house, however, is not a good
legislative body. 1t is big and clumsy
and unwieldly. That is why the sen.
ate has become powerful than
the house in shaping legislation. It's
smaller membership enables the SEN
ate to debate measures more thor
oughly and to give the necessary at
tention to all the details of important
bills under consideration,
Increasing the size OF the house
will still further increase the infu-
ence of the senate,--New York World.
