A Legislative Hand Across
= the Sea.

1t is more than a coincident
that England and America, knit
close by ties Of blood, language
and tradition, should, at the same
moment, be graphing with leg
islative and government problems
rising at practically the same
source.
In Great Britain the new par
lament has been formally opened
by the king and queen, and
among it's first duties will be the
consideration ofmeans to abridge
or abolish the powers Of the
house of lords.
In America a non-partisan bat
tie is raging around the same
general principle the effort to
bring the senate, or upper legis-
lative body, closer to the people
by wiping out the legislative and
substituting the popular method
for choosing members.
The parallel becomesI even
more intimate for there is also
a compromise clause in the En-
glish liberal program which con-
templates substituting the popu-
lar elective selection of the lords
for the present hereditary mode.
But the British outlook is even
more ambitious. At this distance
it looks almost socialistic. Meas
ures are on foot to put through
bills binding the government to
insurance against unemployment,
and an extension of the old age
pensions system, to which this
country, happily, has not yet
been forced to turn.
The keynote, in both factors Of
the comparison, is the bringing
of government closer to the peo-
pie.
In Great Britain some hundreds
Of lords, who hold power by
grace of birth and not of merit,
are able to block progress and
legislate in their own interest.
In America, at present, some
scores of senators hold power by
grace, not Of the peoples will,
but by reason of superior dex-
terity in manipulating small leg
islative bodies.
In each country change must
come, since the prevailing sys-
tenn is based on error,
But it looks as though the En-
glish, whom we commiserate for
living under a monarchy, will go
forward faster than republican
America especially in the sense
of popular participation in gov
eminent, and emphatically so in
the British effort at equalization
of taxes, going under the name
of the tax on the ''unearned in
crement.

Then he pointed his finger straight
at the questioner. Lightning flashed
from his eyes, and he replied, in a
voice that made the gas jets CULVER:

The audience cheered and yelled
and stamped, and the wretched man
who had asked the question crawled
out of the hall a total wreck.

CURE THAT SORE THROAT

Sore throat is Inflammation of the
mucous membrane Of the throat, and
If this membrane happens to be at all
sensitive a predisposition to sore
throat viii exist.
Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic is both a
preventative and a cure for sore
throat because 1t possesses extraor-
binary cleansing, healing and germi-
cidal qualities. Just a little in a glass
Of water, used as a gargle, will quick
ly relieve all and strengthen
the mucous membrane Of the throat,
and thus overcome all tendency to
sore throat.
Paxtine is far superior to liquid an
tiseptics or Peroxide for all toilet and
hygienic uses.
Paxtine may be obtained at any
drug store, rs and SOC a box, or sent

seventy-one Years In a Shoe shop.

seventy-One Years In q Shoe Shop.
Charles H. Wilson Of Troy, N. Y,
occupies the unique position of having
been IN business In one building for II
years; at least he will have completed
II years in the shoe business at 242-
244 River street August IL next. This
record, 1t is believed. can be equaled
by few If any shoe retailers in this
country. Mr.. Wilson has also been in
business for himself for more than 80
years. Mr.. Wilson is today Just as
much in active business as he was al
most three-quarters Of a century ago,
when as a thirteen-year-old lad he en-.
tered the employ Of John Leonard
Williams of Troy. To be exact, that
was August IL, 1910. Mr.. Williams
kept a shoe store at 242-244 River
street in a building which had been
erected in 1903, and so the building
now occupied by Mr.. Wilson for his
retail shoe business is one of the old
est buildings in Troy.

0ISFIGURED WITH CRUSTS

Some time ago I was taken with
eczema from the top Of my head to
my waist. 1t began with scales on my
body. I suffered untold itching and
burning, and could not sleep. l was
greatly disf1gured with scales and
crusts. My ears looked as If they had
been most cut of with a razor, and
my neck was perfectly raw. l suffered
untold agony and pain. I tried two
doctors who said I had eczema in it,
fullest stage, and that 1t could not
be cured. then tried other rem
edies to no avail. At last, I tried q set
OF the genuine Cuticura Remedies,
which cured me Of eczema when all
else had failed, therefore I cannot
praise them too highly.

NOT A "FULL-LENGTH" PAPA
Child Wanted Original Of Portrait That
Had Been Made so Familiar
to Her.

An amusing incident Is related Of
a young service matron who had re-
linquished her husband for two years
and who, having before his departure
insisted on a good photograph, applied
herself assiduously to the upbringing
Of her two-year-old baby with a view
to the child's familiarity with her dis
ttnguished father. Each day she would
call the baby girl to her and. kneeling
beside her, would bold up the photo
graph, pointing out each feature to
the child.
One day the officer came home, and
the baby girl, then four years old
was summoned. Come. DEAR" SAID
the mother in glee, papa has come
home at last!" The child surveyed
the officer in perplexity and fnall,
shook her head.
What is the matter. dear?" asked
her mother. WELL" replied the child
"he looks something like my papa, blu
my papa hasn't any legs!"

Taft and the Tariff.


Certain phrases serve as a kind OF
touchstone in revealing a mans att1'
tude toward a protective tariff. A
Chinese Wall" is one of them. and
President Taft used 1t in his speech
at Providence. When the head OF the
protectionist party makes that con-
demnatory description Of d high tariff
his own-coolly adopting the language
Of free traders-it is enough to make
the ancient and rock-ribbed stand
patter rub his eyes and feel of his
head and fear that the end OF all
things is at hand. There is a phrase
on the other side, formerly used by
good protectionists, and even employed
by the innocent Mr.. Dingley in 1897
This Is the one expressing the wish
that our sacred country were sur
rounded by "a sea of fire." so that MOI
an invoice of hated and communicating
foreign goods could reach our immune
shores. That test OF high tariff ortho
doxy has long been dropped, as being
too exacting except for isolated saints
Of the protectionist church. But II
must look to the faithful as II the
very foundations were being de
stroyed when a Republican presiden'
| declares that the days Of the Chinese
| wall in tariff matters are over. Yet i
