THOUGHTS BY THE WAY.
Hail, all hail, the gang did cry,
Congress has adjourned what to
h do we carer" etc.

A large number of women in this
state are working for the right of
suffrage. When, at least six-tenths
of the male electors, do not know
the political history of their coun-
try and are influenced to vote
against their own best interests by
demagogues seeking their own
preferment, the women, if given
the right, could do no worse and
might by their votes secure the
enactment of laws safe guarding
the home and protecting the chill
dren from the contamination of in
fuences fostered by the votes of
husbands and fathers.

Pat. an Irishman. was lying down with
his head resting in both hands, medita-
lively smoking short-stem pipe. All at
once there came 20-pound shot and
struck in the sand two or three yards

threw him into the air. He got up,
shook himself and was busy brushing
the sand out of his eyes and ears when
the Colonel asked him if he was badly
hurt. "Yis,' he replied: 'the dommed

The counting of the Widow Healy by

At the last session Of congress, there
was very close division on an impor-

Western member was fighting tie bill
with all the vigor at his command, an!
his success depended absolutely on his
presence at his post. 4 clever member
OF the opposition devised scheme
whereby the troublesome man could be
lured away. Accordingly, says the
Washington Post, on the morning of the
day the vote Was to be taken, telegram
was sent to the hotel of the fighting
member. 1t read: "Come home. Yourwife
is dangerously ILL.," The congressman
glanced at it, read it carefully two or
three times, and then started toward
the Capitol. The perpetrator of the
scheme asked the congressman what
the telegram contained. He showed it
to him.
What" gasped the inquirer, "and in
the face of that you are going to the
Capitol?"
81 am" was the cool response.
But don't you feel worried about
your wife?"
"NOt in the least" was the reply.
"Why?" asked the other.

President Taft vetoed the bill
admitting Arizona into the Union
with a judicial recall in it's pro-
posed constitution. He did we'll
and sent a veto message to Con-
gress which should have opened
the eyes of the members to the
magnitude of the foolishness of the
recall feature of the organic law
proposed. No plan was ever de-
vlsed better calculated to abolish
law and order, and place men with
out character or ability on the
bench to be influenced in their de-
cisions by public clamor. A plan
to aid the strong in dispoiling the
weak and put a premium on law
lessness. The president should re-
celve the Communications of all the
good citizens for vetoing the bill
and Senator LaFollette who has
claimed to be the especial cham
plon OF the poor and downtrodden,
voted for the ratification of an in

While the writer, who is a firm
believer in a tariff for revenue with
only incidental protection, and in
favor of a revision of the present
robber tariff, hardly thinks that the

tar enough in revising the wool

the following percentage of reduc-
tons: Raw wool, 20 per cent; car

to reduce the profits of the manu-
facturers of wooden goods, the tariff
on the raw wool being reduced suf-
ficiently so as not to cut into the
profits. 1t was compromise and

able and is a tariff departure in the
right direction, as was the ratihca-
ton of the reciprocity pact.
