Too Pretty a Lake For That.

China gave me many shock" said
the returned traveller. but the one that
nearly carried me off was administered
in the Fuchau district. Out in the
country / came across beautiful little
lake drained by a beautiful little river.
The scenery was marred somewhat,
however, by signs stuck up every few
yards at the edge Of the lake. l Won
dered what their import was, and on
one Of my trips to the lake>I took a
missionary friend along to translate.
"'Oh, that said he. There are not
many of them left in this district. That
is a warning that girls must not be
drowned in this lake.
"Somehow could never admire my
beautiful lake so much after that, al
though maybe I ought to have admired
it more" New York Press.

Ponies and Horses.

l have been asked a great many
times if ponies are really more intel
ligent than full sized horses. They
certainly appear to be. But the in
telligence of any horse will develop
under petting and human compan:
ionship. and there is no doubt that
other horses, if given the same privi-
leges that ponies enjoy and il their
size admitted Of their being handled
and managed in the same way, would
prove equally intelligent-Outing.

Bemidji People Have Found That
This is True.

VIM. H. LEACH JR. RESIGNS FROM U. M. CARTRIDGE co.

Wm. H. Leach, IT,, has resigned his position as head of the department of Tests at the Union Metallic Car fridge Co.,, owing to ill health.
 chusetts Institute of Technology in 1897, MT. Leach was employed by Marcel1us Hartley and sent to the Union Metallic Cartridge works to learn the ammunition business. Dur ing the fourteen years of his employ ment he served in various capacities and acquired an intimate knowledge of many of the manufacturing pro- cesses used in the fabrication of the company's product and the company adopted a number of his suggested improvements. He was personally associated with the manufacture and handling of primers and mercurial apparatus and introduced systems which facilitated manufacture, and largely reduced the dangers of hand ling these materials His good work along these and other lines was re- warded by his promotion four years ago to the position of head of the department of Tests. In this position he had larger opportunities for utiliz- ing his technical training in the de- velopment of systems of inspection and the tests of raw materials and work in process of manufacture.
 Although his health was greatly impaired last winter, MT. Leach con- tinued at work contrary to his physi- clans advice until a complete break down necessitated his giving up busi- ness last March until his health be- came fully restored. He is spending Mass, where he is slowly regaining his strength. The officials of the company have accepted his reSigna- tion with much regret.

THE FREE TRADE GROUP.

The extent to which free trade views of the tariff have become the views of large manufacturing inter- ests is mildly indicated by the testi- mony of Schwab before the Stanley committee. The Ironmaster says that the steel industry no longer needs tariff protection. A fact not gener- ally recognized, we think, is that with in a few years many captain of indus try have come to the conclusion that they can compete with the world and do it successfully. Such men seek 10 throw down barriers, realizing that they will thus be brought to a fuller participation in the trade of the world. But manufacturing groups who are less clear as to their ability to build up large trade in other countries prefer to stick to the home market, with the highest possible protection to give the maximum of profits.
 There probably is in this country today no group of men solid for abso- lute free trade. excepting the group of manufacturers who want to trade with the world.

Taft Not invited
 For ''Grange Day.
Head of State Fair Associa- ton Differs with State
 Master Healey, of Grange

Exceptions to the statement of Mas ter Leonard H. Healey of the State Grange that the Connecticut Fair As sociation broke faith with the Grang- CTS in regard to a speaker for Grange day. at the fair, are taken by Ira w. Butterfield, manager of the Connecti- cut fair.
 The invitation to the President had been verbal one, conveyed by Sena- tor Mclean, and the fair management had in fact heard indirectly that it was. not likely that President Taft would attend as he had too many other engagements. On reading the news that the President would attend the fair, the management proceeded to verify by telegrams to Washing ton.
 No announcement had been made by the newspapers that President Taft would attend the fair Grange day.; the fair management never has an- nounced that President Taft was to be at the fair Grange day., and fur thermore had never contemplated it..
 ''The Grange had not been mention ed in any way in connection with the Presidents visit,'' continued Mr. man to be invited to make an ad- dress on Grange day. had been sug- gested by the member through whom the invitation to the officer of the Grange had been given, and agreed to by myself. Furthermore, I sug- gested that the invitation to the pro- posed speaker-who was a man of national reputation-be given by the Grange.
 f'On Tuesday before noon I was called over the telephone and inform ed that if President Taft was to be at the fair the officers of the Grange would withdraw their proposed Grange meeting. It was not said that they would not be there the day the Pres ident came; but that they would not have any official connection if the President came at all.
 q fail to see any bad faith on my part or the part of the fair manage ment And will say further that the offer to the Grange is still open, with a speaker to be selected by them, as at first agreed.
 ssNeither the fair association nor myself have had anything to do with the newspaper criticism of the Grange attitude"

 COL. ASTOR
From Pulpit Declares His Coming Marriage "Un- holy Alliance An ''Out- rage on Common Decen- cy;" and "Astor Wants Another Beauty"

Philadelphia, Aug. S-The Astor- Force wedding and the attitude of the Episcopal church, which formed the theme of sermon here Sunday are much on the tongues of society folk.
 The sermon was preached by the outspoken Rev. pr. George Chalmers Richmond, rector of St. Johns. An nouncing his subject, "The Coming Astor Wedding the cleric declared that Col. John Jacob Astor would not find one Episcopal minister in this country who would officiate at the ceremony"
 'The Episcopal church is opposed to dlvorce," said the rector. we scorn unholy alliances, both among the poor Of our slums and the rich society dWellers of Newport, Bar Harbor and other sinners summer retreats.
 We abhor this Astor alliance. It is unholy in it's origin and it's end will be defiance of Gods laws and
 of our holy religion. We need a na- tional uniform divorce law which will put an end to this overriding of court decrees by such as John Jacob As tor and the social set with whom he associates.
 So today I denounce from my pull pit this coming A:'tor wedding. It's an outrage on common decency. It arouses all our moral anger. The Episcopal church is opposed to this alliance.
 Tt is contrary to our canons, and MT. Astor will be socially ostracized by the best people the minute he contracts the bargain already made.
 Tt is marriage of convenience. Astor wants another beauty. The poor, weak girl of eighteen or twenty wants a rich society fellow with autos, yachts and opera boxes which will af- ford her a chance for social exp.oita- tion.
 "Our girls and women are money mad. Lucre rules among the aveIues of the smart set.
 New York's Four Hundred today means 'Sodom.' To rule the smart set means to manage gambling par ties, to run dances and to figure in divorce court proceedings every year or two.
 Thank God, money no longer rules our church. It did once. There was a time when the Episcopal church gave her blessing to Fifth avenue and Newport marriage speculators with a free hand. Some of our oldtime bishops loved to toady to this set
 Not so today. We are following Christ, not Wall street.
 John Jacob Astor is persona n Jn grata today in every parish of our church. No chance is open to him, no choir will sing for him, no sexton stands ready to open a door for him"
 HOW MRS. FORGE TAKES IT.
 New York, Aug. S-When Mrs. William H. Force was asked to an- swer the attack made on the coming marriage of her daughter to Col. John Jacob Astor by the Rev. George Chal- mers Richmond of Philadelphia, she said in a very angry and excited tone:
 'sIt is an outrage. I will not discuss it. You must talk to Colonel Astor Or Mr. Force. I do not read the papers and don't care what they say

AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE.

An automobile owner, in circular letter the substance of which has ap- peared in this newspaper, objects to the increase in the limit for death damages, saying: Liability insurance is generally limited to $5,000 for in- juries to one person and $1o,o0o for a single accident" He complains that. "If the proposed bill passes the liability in such cases will be too in definite to be capable of insurance
 The gentleman's fears seem to be founded upon a mistaken conception of the law in Connecticut, upon a failure to know the general practice of companies that insure against au- tomobile and other accidents, and upon failure to know the statistical facts of the case.
 As to his first error, the $5,000 limit applies only to deaths. Recov- cry for injuries not causing death is not limited.
 As to his second error, he will find that automobilists carry liability in- surance in states where there is no $5,000 limit, and that insurance com panies furnish it.
 As to his third error, all accidents bear a small proportion to all auto mobile owners, and all serious in- juries inflicted on others a smaller percentage, and all death inflicted on others a yet smaller percentage.
 The general statistical idea under lying liability insurance in such cases may be obtained from a considera- tion of certain railroad figures.
 One passenger in every 3,523.606 carried will be killed. One in every s6,45s will be injured. Damages will be collectible in all the states accord ing to -the laws. Insurance will be based on the total of damages paid, plus the expense of insurance and plus profit.
 Twenty-Five cents would probably be an ample yearly charge to meet the fair cost of insurance against be- ing killed on a railroad. The chance of being killed by an automobile is somewhat greater. But it is not enough greater to justify the charges which insurance companies are now making to auto owners for liability insurance. The useful and legiti- mate channel into which 'auto own CTS" energies should be directed is not opposition to the repeal of the death limit, but effort to secure a reduction in the rates he is obliged now has and which he will continue to need.

THE HUMAN EQUATION.

Whenever there is a fatal accident that may be fixed upon the captain of a steamship, the engineer Of trolley car, or anyone occupying posi- tion of similar responsibility in the safeguarding of human lives, we hear very much learned talk of the human element" which it is "impos si- ble to guard against" and which therefore extenuates the shocking number of catastrophes which mar the history of American transporta- ton systems.
 Too much stress has been laid up- on the fallibility of the human ele- ment," and too little attention paid to other causes of accidents. AS a mat ter of fact the human beings with other peoples lives in their care, per form untold miracles of care, accur- acy, watchfulness1 and faithful ser vice and when they do fail, it is ten to one that they are victims of the system under which they are work ing.
 Take for instance the captain of the steamship Columbia which ran into an iceberg off the banks; of New foundland. She was proceeding at moderate speed through a fog. Her fog horn was blowing, and the cap tain's quick ear detected an echo. If he had failed to notice it, or if ne had turned to someone else and en- tered a discussion as to the probable cause of the phenomenon, the Colum- bia probably would now be at the bottom of the Atlantic, with most if not all of her passengers.
 As 1t was he reversed the engines instantly and just in time, for the Columbia crashed into an enormous iceberg which had kfloated down from the polar regions.
 If thes captain had not done this, it is probably that the blame for the sinking of the Columbia would be forever on his shoulders, just as the blame for the burning of the General Slocum was laid upon the shoulders of her commander, who had nothing to do with the rotten life preservers aboard of her. Just so was the en- gineer of the Federal Express blamed Tor attempting to make up time in pursuance with the orders of the divi- sion superintendent, issued the day before.
 So it goes. But the public will not forever be deluded with the Truman element" fallacy, and in the course of time will give the human ele- ment'' as much of praise as it now receives of abuse, and lay the blame in other quarters.

LAND IN IRELAND.

Thetviews of City Attorney Culli- nan onA economic conditions in Ire land are woEth more than passing consideration. He notes carefully the improvement in conditions that have followed the Land Purchase act, which, like, the Scottish Crofters act, was a law designed to restore the people to sthe land. One of the evils of landlordism in the British Isles was the centra1izadon of land in the possession of "a few owners, Pre- sently by this sprocess the yeomanry disappeared, or became bitterly inn poverished to such an extent that the British government found it neces- sary to tax English wealth, to assist the Irish and Scottish farmers to buy back in small holdings the Hand from which they had been appropriated. The result, in Ireland, at least. ac- cording to. MT. Cullinan, is excel lent
 But the city attorney notes that
 
 to grazing purposes. This result soon followed rack renting, for the land lords taxed their tenants until the farms were abandoned, and then the easiest thing to do was to graze the land.
 The defect in the British system is that the thing will have to be done all over again within a hundred years. The same conditions that made for centralization of land originally still exist, and will operate in the same way.
 The job has been much better done in New Zealand, also under the Brit ish crowd, where great estates in land so threatened the common people, that tue government purchased the secHres snn spIss them up into small holdings, but under laws which will prevent these holdings from being ever again owned by few persons.
 The extent of the United States is so great and it's population so small that it has never yet felt the horrors of a land trust, which is the most injurious of all monopolies to peo- pie.
 The prosperity of this country over most European countries is occasion ed, as many economists believe, not

New Haven, Aug. 8-It is stated on reliable authority that warrants have been drawn up by Liquor Prosecutor Dickerman for the arrest of a number of the men found in the Lighthouse Point hotel when it was raided on Sunday afternoon.
