SENT HAIL TO THE MOON
Embryo Man-of-War's Man at Least
Convinced Officer He Was At
tending 10 His Duty.

This is the story Of one OF b men,
bers of the Massachusetts Naval Re-
serves. On the second night OF the
cruise of the San Francisco one OF
the amateur tars was on watch. The
night was clear, and myriads OF stars
twinkled in the sky, but there was no
moon. Suddenly the reserve sang out,
Light ahoy!" Where away" asked
the officer of the deck. Far. far
away" replied the would-be man-of-
wars man. When the officer had re-
covered from the shock o~ccasioned by
this unseamanlike answer he looked
over the rail in the direction indicat-
ed by the reserves finger, and then
he had another fit. What's he

Cant you recognize the rising moon
when you see it?" Moon, moon"
stammered the embryo sea dog. Il

shouted, as If making amends for his
error, Moon ahoy."

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 un'
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 op'
crate domestic monopolies.
The real status Of the American
manufacturer, as to his needs OF pro

Disturbed Peace Of Salmon.

Some queer charges are brought
from time to time in the police courts
in connection with game and fish
preservation, but that brought against
a collier at C~ockermouth seems to be
unique. The man was charged with
disturbing salmon on their spawning
beds by walking up and down the river
banks. 1t was stared in evidence that
the fish were SO numerous that some
of them had been driven right into the
side to spawn. and that they ceased

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 it's 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 more powerful than
the house in shaping legislation. Its
smaller membership enables the SEN
ate to debate measures more thor.
oughly and to give the necessary at
tention to alls the details of important
bills under consideration.
Increasing the size of the house
will still further increase the influ
| ence of the senate.-New York World
