Lower Tariff ia the Demand.

The question for congress-and we
commend 1t specially to the progress.
sive Republicans-is whether it will
legislate In the interest of the PEG.
pie, or In the interest Of those who
insist on their indefeasible right to
tax the people. The choice Is one that
will have to be made some day, and 1t
might as we'll be made now. When
jute goes on the free list, as we trust
1t will, the men who make 1t will be
surprised and panied to find that they
r not ruined. The Democratic free
list, by all means, ought to be adopt,
ed. The people voted for a lower tar.
If, and they ought to have 1t, and
have 1t promptly. The men who stand
In the way of their getting 1t will
have much to answer for. AS for the
Republicans, we have only to say that
they ought to be glad, after all this
time, to have the chance to redeem
In part the pledges made by their
party In 1908.

THREE CURED OF ECZEMA

when a child, I suffered eight
years with eczema. I could not sleep
at night, and had sores all over my
chest. We had doctors and none
could do any good, until my mother
saw the advertisement of the Cuti.
cura Remedies in the paper. We used
the Cuticura Soap, Ointment and
Resolvent, and they cured me Of
eczema. / also used them on my five
children. Two Of them had eczema
very badly. When my children had
eczema, I was not worried at all, as
l knew the Cuticura Remedies would
do their work. They had sores all
over their heads, their hair would fall
out, and they would scratch all night
and day. They had it on their heads,
face, and In back of the ears SO that I
thought their ears would drop off. I
washed their heads and bodies with
Cuticura Soap and they are as clean
as the driven snow. Cuticura Soap
and Ointment also cured my children
Of ringworm. l would not be without

divers inconsistent CONSISTENCY.


The reasons Senator Oliver of Penn
sylvania gives for opposing the pulp
and paper provision of the Canadian
agreement are like the weapon en-
ployed by the butcher In a fight, who
grabbed the first thing he could get
his hands on, which, in the case of the
butcher, was a sausage.
Mr.. Oliver points out that under the
provisions of the agreement only pulp
taken from private Canadian lands
and paper made from such pulp would
be admitted free because the agree
ment retains the duty on these arti,
Giles when they are subjected to a
Canadian export duty, and the crown
lands of the provinces are subjected
to such a duty.
The senator, therefore, puts himself
In the attitude of Directing to free
pulp and paper because 1t would not
be so free as 1t should be when, as
a matter of fact, he does not want it
to be free at all. The probability
would be that with the proposed dis
elimination against the Canadian ex-
port duty, that duty would be removed
from the crown lands under the oper-
alton of the pending agreement.
But that is just what the paper
trust does not want, and Senator Oil
yer knows it.-Kansas City Star.

Washington.-The extent to which
the telephone has ~encroached on the
telegraph as a means Of d~ispatching
trains during 1910 is shown in a bulle.
tin issued by the interstate commerce
commission. An increase of 1873
miles OF railroad on. which the tele-
phone is used was shown during the
year. On January 1, 1911, the tele-
graph was used on 1921 miles and
the telephone on 41,717 miles. The
bulletin also shows that there were at
the beginning of the year 1860 miles
of railroad in the United States oper.
ated under the block signal system,
17,711 miles of which were automatic.
The Increase in this system in 1910
was 5,47S miles, 3,473 miles being au.

PRESIDENT AS A POLITICIAN
Cabinet Appointments Seem to Show
That He Knows Something of
the Game.

Exit Mr.. Dickinson from the Taft
cabinet. Enter Mr.. Stimson of New
York.
Admirers of Mr.. Taft have said he
'is no politician"
One Of his pet projects has been
to secure Republican aid in the
south. Mr.. Dickinson, a Tennessee
Democrat, was appointed secretary
of a Tennessee, so long hope and
pride of the southern Democracy, now
has a Republican governor, and Luke
Lea is a senator from the state.
Tennessee Republicans are certain
to send a Taft delegation to the Re.
publican National convention.
So far, so good-in connection with
Mr.. Taft's plans in, that section.
Now support Is needed in New York
for the Taft wing Of the Republican
party.
Mr.. Dickinson steps down. Mr..
Stimson has been regarded as a rep
resentative of the Roosevelt faction.
He was Roosevelt's candidate for the
governorship. Mr.. Taft secures Stim-
sons allegiance and that of Stimson's
friends by giving the defeated guber-
material candidate a place in the cab,
met.
And yet, they say, Taft is no pol
itician."

AFRAID OF 1RIcKERY
PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW MORE
OF ALDRlcH's FINANCIAL
PLAN.
National Reserve Association" .
Cloak for National Bank?-WhoIe
Truth Of the Matter Must Be
Made Public.

Many q good dinner has been eat
n in New York and elsewhere, Incl
l~entally to discuss Mr.. Nelson w. AL
arich's new financial plan. Every
thing on the bills of fare has been
plain enough except the name of the
dish which Mr.. Aldrich himself has
provided, He calls it a National Re-
serve association. He emphatically
denies that it is a Central bank or a
bank of the United States.
The delicacy became popular at
financial bancuets without delay, but,
having a desire to oblige his friends,
the great chef who first prepared it
has encouraged other g%oodlivers to
suggest improvements This weighty
matter has been in progress for some
time, and now whenever men of money
break bread with Mr.. Aldrich various al
Gged improvements are either adopt
ed or rejected. So far as we have OBJ
served, however, nobody, ever at the
foot Of the table, has ventured to
suggest that the thing he called by
its right name.
Some plain Americans have noted
he fact that on the menu cards of our
1r-to-date hotels very homely articles
d diet are often hidden behind
strange French or Italian phrases.
There is reason to believe that if the
plain people of the United States are
ever to look with favor upon Mr..
hldrich's triumph of cookery he will
have to tell them exactly what it is.
They have a right to know anyway,
but the Pure-Food law can be- in
yoked If necessary. s4ga
A great deal is to be said in favor
Of a Central bank. That such an in
stitution has many advantages is
proved by the experience of other ma
lions. Correctly managed, it pro-
tects credit, regulates circulation and
prevents or minimizes panics. Bad
" managed, it may become corrupt,
partial and tyrannous. In the control
of financial politicians and political
financiers it may arbitrarily dominate
commerce and industry-even govern
ment itself-for selfish ends. We
have had Central banks of the last de-
scription. We have never had one of
the first.
1t Is morally certain that no Cen
trail bank will ever be established in
this country under a misleading title.
Historical, political and personal preju-
dices against such an institution are
very strong. They can be removed
only by facts and argument presented
with the utmost candor. A good way
TO begin this movement would be by
an honest avowal Of its object.-New
York World.

Something of a Contrast.

The Democratic house of representa-,
lives is doing things. That body has
made the following record in a little
more than a month:
Passed the farmers free list" bill.
Cut off a lot of useless offices, result
ing in saving about $780, 900 a year.
Approved the Canadian reciprocity
measure.
Adopted resolution in favor of pop
ular elections Of United States sena-
tors.
Passed the apportionment bill.
Passed the measure to provide for
publicity of campaign expenses.
Meantime the Republican senate has
fooled away its time in a wrangle over
assignment of committee places and
begun plans for hearings" on the
reciprocity matter!

petitions But he generously excuses
President Taft for ar error Of judg-

Market Hogs Much Lighter.

The average weight of hogs market
ed in recent years is much lighter
than In former years; in the decade
1S70-1S79 the average weight of hogs
killed during the winter months in
western packing centers was about
275 pounds; in the decade 1SSO-18S9
about 257 pounds; in the decade 1890
1899 about 239 pounds, and in the
past decade 1900-1909 about 219
pounds. In other words, hogs mar.
keted between 80 and 40 years ago
averaged ,one-fourth heavier than
those marketed in recent years.
