Help! Policer'

Police! Policep'
Mr.. Bowser had to take to his heels.
The police might come running, and at
any moment Mrs Bowser and the cat
might appear on the front steps. He
hiked along for two blocks, but he was
not discouraged. When he saw a po-
liceman on the corner, arms folded and
head bent in thought, he walked up to
him and said:
"Officer it is q hard and dreary life
you lead, and the world is ungrateful.
Your wife and children may die, but
the world cares nought. You may
aspire to high ideals, but you have got
to pound the pavements to earn your
sordid bread and butter. officer,
pity you
The cop hadn't said a word. He had
just looked and listened. When Mr..
Bowser had concluded his oratorical
effort the cops club was thrust out I'M
til the end rested on the orators stom
ach Then there was a push, and the
victim went backwards into an old
snowbank and the representative Of
the low sauntered on without looking
back.
Mr.. Bowser arose and for moment
he had a vision of Mrs. Bowser, the cat
and a warm room and the outside
world be hanged, but he fought it away
and passed on. An old man was pick
ing the ice off the stone steps of g.
residence He was Old and feeble and
the night was cold and the work hard.
You have had sorrows," said Mr..
Bowser, as he paused.
'Hey?'' was the reply as the old man
raised his hand to his ear.
It's a shame that you have to do
this work at your age"
Hey? Hey?"
Have you had anything at all to eat
today? Has anyone given you a word
of cheer?"
you'll have 20 speak louder"
But he didn't say. A woman ap-
peared at the door and asked of him:
what do you want of my father,
sir?"
'Why-why. he is SO old and feeble.

Mr.. Bowser walked on. There was
Mrs. Bowser and the cat wrapped up
in their selfishness, but he could not
head for home-not yet. He went up
to the corner and turned to find a
young man leaning against the fence.

OIL N
AGREEMENT WITH
AUSTRIA-HUNCARY
Repressive Measures Against
American Corporation to Be Re-
moved Within Eight Days.

WASHINGTON. Jan. GA satisfac4
tory agreement has been reached he
tween the Vacuum Oil Company. an
American corporation, and the AustroS
Hungarian minister OF finances i'm THE
controversy between that company and
the oil concerns controlled by Austro-
Hungarian capital. The State depart
ment today received this information
in a ~cablegram from Ambassador Kerr
ems at Vienna.
The agreement provides for the re-
movai within eight days of all repres-
sive measures affecting the American
company. but is subject to the apT
prevail of the entire cabinet. The dis
pute was initiated, it Is said, by local
Austro-Hungarian refiners who en-
ployed Anticipated methods and ma
ohfnery. They found that competition
with an up-tO-date plant was reducing
the price of oil beyond their power of
competition. so they appealed to the
ministry for relief. The result was the
issuance of DEGREES imposing upon the
transportation of oil conditions which
seriously jeopardized the business of
the American company.
The Vacuum Oil Company is said to
be an auxiliary of the Standard OIL
Company. A similar controversy is
threatened in Roumania, where the
Romano, an American oil COM
pany, is a strong competitor with Rou-
manian interests.

PAYNE-ALOR|CH
TARIFF BAD, SAY
WOOL-GROWERS
.PinchOt Comes in for Criticism,
Too, al. Sheepmen's
Convention.

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 6.-"The sub
ject assigned to me is Schedule X (of
the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill) from the
Wool-growers' Point of View" said
Peter G. Johnston, of Blackfoot, Ida,
at the convention of wool-growers to-
day. II realize that this is very intri-
cate and one with which very few men
are familiar.
In the humble judgment of your
fellow wool growers, the sheep indus
try and the Western country in general
would have been millions Of dollars bet
ter off If the .Payne-Aldrich tariff law
had been destroyed by the Presidents
veto. During the last ten years the
cost of production has increased fully
eleven cents per pound. We do not
have enough protection. The Tariff
Commission as recently appointed is
endeavoring- to get squarely at the
facts"
Organisation Necessary.
The speaker said a business ~organi-
cation was necessary to protect the in
terests of the wool-growers. Continu-
ing. he said:
Most of us who have had the forest
reserve to deal with have suffered from
the 'Pinchot rule and regulation
plague a disease unknown until the
advent of bureaucracy in our United
States government; but We had to
suffer and will continue to suffer until
we have, as other great interests have,
a powerful organization as a means of
cure and defense.
I'VE are here to try the experiment,
for the first time, of bringing the wool
growers and manufacturers together to
see If they cannot make their interests
mutual.
Theodore Roosevelt declared that we
ate up all the grass and destroyed the
land. 1 wish he had postponed that
saying until after November 5, 1910,
and 1t would not have been taken so
seriously. But now hat mild-man-
nered gentleman. President Taft, fol-
lowing In the wake left by his illus
trious predecessor, President Roosevelt,
jumps onto us. I say that 1t is the last
straw and more than we can bear. He
should be told of 1t and in no uncertain
way. He is fair and all we want is a
square deal.
Regulations Not Lnws.
ans IOTbSt IcScINGS Wtic ldplohJ
created by President Roosevelt at the
Urgent request of Chief Forester Pin
chot. His regulations took the place OF
every law, written or unwritten.
Pinchot cried out to the people that
their rights were being monopolized.
Elk Secretaiy Garfield Joined him in
this. Well, in every age of the world
men with higher regard for their W
theories than for the law have fol-
lowed just about such a course, and
that was really the base Of the con-
troversy between the secretary of the
interior, MI. Ballinger, and the CHIEF
forester. Mr.. Pinchot.
For Mr.. Plnchot. personally, / have
a very high regard and believe him to
be an honest gentleman, but his n
thusiasm ran away with his judgment
and his theories were stronger than his
knowledge of the law"
