Governor West commented on the

which make for the welfare of the
people of the state He said statis-
tics show that so per cent of those
confined in the Salem penitentiary
are there as the result of the use Of
liquors and continued: {:
While am not a prohibitionist, l
am in favor of doing everything that
can be done to avoid letting men get
so far under the influence of liquor
as to be led into crime. Because
men become criminals under such
circumstances, we should do all we
can to reform them. The trouble is
the newspapers are bounding some
of those on parole"
He read letter from one of the
paroled convicts. In this instance
and another, he said, these convicts
had been discharged by their en-
ployers becoming aware through the
newspapers that the men in their em7
ploy were Vests honor men" Who
is the criminal" he added, "the man

TWINS ARE
SO YEARS
OLD TODAY

New York, Dec. 25.-Samuel and
William Muncy, the oldest twins in
the United States, today celebrated
the 93d anniversary of their birth on
the outskirts of Babylon, the Long
Island town in which they were born.
Hale and carefree, with the firm
conviction that this world is getting
better every day and that life is
really worth living, these venerable
men expect to continue their tran
quill existence for many years more.
Born on the property which their
respective homes now occupy, the
brothers have lived side by side prac-
tically throughout their long lives.
and in wooing longevity have fol-
lowed the same course. Each married
while young, and each had eight
children, and each has for many years
been a widower. Four generations
today assisted them in observing their
birthday and in celebrating CHRIST
mas.
Moderation has been the keynote
of their lives. Moderation in all
things, except stimulants and tobac-
co. Both are prohibitionists of the
most pronounced type, and neither
seeks solace from Lady Nicotine.
About four score years ago William
Muncy essayed the tobacco habit
One trial was enough to convince him
that tobacco would be no aid in lead
ing him on to a ripe OLD age.
Don't drink, don't smoke. don't
overeat, and don't worry. Work
little, play a little and try to make
others happy"
That is William Muncy's receipt for
longevity.

Fair Play for American Goods in
European Markets.

european MAihC's
1t is beginning to be apparent that
numbers Of large industries in the
United States whose interests have
not, despite strong governmental eff
forts, been accorded fair treatment
abroad, are going to make strenu-
GUS efforts to enable the govern
ment of the United States to prop
erly care for those interests.
Singularly enough, although inter
est is usually taken in recommends
tions of the president respecting for
eign relations, the press seems to
have grasped the importance of Pres
ident Taft's recommendation for the
change referred to. 1t is claimed
that the retaliatory clause of the law,
as it now stands. has probably proved
effective in securing for the United
States exports generally fair treat
ment
Determinations, however, against
American trade have apparently not
yet all been removed. This is evil
denced by complaints, for instance, in
the South, of the discriminatory treat
ment which the government of Aus
tro-Hungary accords cotton seed oil.
1t is said that the markets in Austro-
Hungary are closed for the oil, and
that the former trade, approximate
ly five million of dollars per annum,
has been utterly destroyed by the in
crease of the tariff.
The fertilizer manufacturing in
dustry in the South, as we'll as the
consumers of fertilizers throughout
the country, believe that if modifi-
cation of section 2 can be secured
the existing unfortunate situation re-
specting the price of potash salts can
be speedily and satisfactorily cleared
upp.
The instances above are but two
of large number of similar COM
plants, but they are of particular in
terest to the people. Of the South.
Sentiment appears to be rapidly
growing for the view that the Dem
ocratic party can, with much credit
to itself, aid in relieving such situa-
tions as the above. by needing the
recommendations of the president.
He should be empowered, in his dis
cretion. to increase by administrative
order, the duty on one or more ar
tcles now imported from certain for
eign countries under the minimum
tariff rate (25 per Cent increase) -
but to such Intermediate rates 5,
10 per cent or more las in his judg-
ment may be required to secure fair
treatment for American products, and
to apply such rates not only to the
dutiable articles, but also to articles
now on the free list, or to either or
both classes, as may best serve the
purpose in view.
