DEMOCRATS KEEP FAITH Win VETERANS

One more campaign promise was ful-
filled by the democrats in the house OF
representatives when they passed the
bill, which, if acted upon favorably by
the senate and signed by the president
will give an increase of pension to the
old soldiers. This action by the demo-
cratic house gives further emphasis to
the fact that since the democrats we're
given control of the lower branch or
congress they nave lived up to their
policy of doing after election what they
promised to do before election.
With the passage by the house OF
the Sherwood bill, the democrats can
now CLAIM credit for the two most
beneficial laws ever acted upon for tne
benefit of the veterans. In January
1875, the Rice law, fathered by General
A. V. Rice, a democratic soldier of ONO
was passed. Since that day the move
ment for a "dollar-a-day" pension has
been gaming force, but while the old
SOluioTS W6T6 always pioiA'SON
one republican administration after an
other. those promises were never made
good.
The bill was passed after a protracted
fight over several proposed amendments
chief of which was a revision to bar
from it's benefits those soldiers who have
not income in excess of $1,000 Il year.
This provision was striker out.
AS it was finally passed, the Sher-
wood bill grants to all old soldiers who
served ninety days, al5 a month: SIX
months, $40; nine months, S25; one
year or more $50.
Speaker Champ Clark voted for the
bill.
Clark has always been a good friend
to the old soldiers. The concensus OF
opinion that his stand on the Sherwood
bill placed him nearer than ever to the
honor of being the democratic standard
bearer in 1912.

American Exports.

One Of the most gratifying signs OF
national health is the increased sale Of
American goods In all the marts of the
world. While there has been a slight
decrease N a few items. there has
been a great gain on the whole. Take
the sale abroad Of American boots and
shoes. for example. Concerning this a
recent government bulletin gives the
following facts:
The American shoe manufacturer is
extending his sales in all parts of the
world. In the fiscal year 1880 we ex-
ported less than 10000 pairs Of boots
and shoes: in 1890. 100000 pairs: in
1900. over 100000 pairs: in 1905. over
100000 pairs; in 1910. over 100000
pairs. and in the calendar year which
ends Dec. 81 the number will exceed
100000 pairs, to say nothing of the
million pairs going to Porto Rico and
Hawaii. These figures relate to boots
and shoes of leather. while if to this
we add those of india rubber we get
an additional 100000. bringing the
total number of American made boots
and shoes passing out Of continental
United States in 1911 up to an average
of a million pairs per month against
about half a million per annum TWEEN
ty years ago.
This increase. 1t should be remem-
bered. has come in the face of a large
manufacture in foreign countries of
boots and shoes called "American"
manufactured by foreign workmen
and Of foreign material. but upon
American patterns and following
American methods of manufacture.
1t is thus probable that the number
of boots and shoes of American type
and thus American in the sense of
form and method of manufacture sold
in foreign countries is very much
greater than that indicated by the
mere figures of expectation.
1t is apparent that in more ways
than by the spread Of our democracy
and invention we are adding to the
worlds understanding.

I've Edison ideas.

As Thomas A. Edison grows older he
seems ever more prolific of ideas and
inventions. His two latest concern
publicity. At least they are the latest
at the moment this is being written.
In a half hour he may have a new
crop.
The first of the two Edisonian ideas
aforementioned relates to books. The
inventor objects that there are chem
icals in the paper now manufactured
which turn it yellow in a few years.
Moreover, the sources of pulp supply
are being exhausted. Therefore man
must seek some other material on
which to print his burning thoughts.
Mr.. Edison proposes nickel. He says
that the nickel can be rolled into
sheets thin enough so that a book of
10000 pages would be only two inches
thick. BE has contrived a method by
which print on these nickel pages may
be as easily read as on paper. Better
I20u oil, auC 1udCSl1dl WOulu Uc 1luc-
structible, or perhaps it would be worse
than ALL depending on the character of
the book.
The second idea Of the great in
ventor is yet more startling. 1t is to
have campaign speeches canned-not
canned in the sense that a dog is
canned. understand, but as embalmed
beef is canned. Not only would he
have these speeches reproduced by
monograph, but would accompany
them by moving pictures of the
speaker. The two would be connected
in one machine and so timed that the
gestures. facial expressions and labial
activities would fall in the right
places. He has laid the scheme before
the president, showing him how he can
deliver addresses in every corner of
the land without the wear and tear of
making $4,000 mile tours. 1t is a great
idea. my hearers. and promises a new
era in campaign oratory.

Schools of Matrimony.

Los Angeles is teaching matrimony,
or rather housekeeping, which is the
direct result of matrimony. AS for
matrimony itself, there is little about
it that can be taught. 1t can only be
learned by long and bit-beg pardon
it can only be learned by experience.
There never was a school where
lovemaking was a prescribed part of
the course Yet there never was a
school, at least if it was ~coeducational,
where lovemaking did not play it's part
along with logarithms and Greek roots.
Even in the schools that are not CO.
educational the young men usually find
the girls-at least they do if there are
any girls within a ten mile radius.
Thus there is NJ need of schools for
counting. AS for the actual splicing,
the only requirements are a license
and a minister. OF course there may
also be bridesmaids, a trousseau, a
best man, guests, a dinner and a hon
Cy IlOOu, u CuCSC dlC 4uClC dCCCSSO-
ries. They are pleasant but nonessen-
tial. The marriage itself is the real
thing. and it requires no schooling.
That ome afterward.
The idea of teaching housekeeping
is not a bad idea, however, provided
that it can be taught. There has long
prevailed an idea that the best uni
versity in which a girl can learn house
keeping is the home, with her mother
az the president of the college, faculty
and corps of instructors. Yet house
keeping may be learned in a school.
Possibly much of it would have to be
unlearned later, but that may happen
in any case. The one important thing
is that it should be taught somewhere.
To start a girl in a house without pre-
vious instruction is like turning a man
loose in a northern winter without
snowshoes. AS for the bridegroom, he
will learn his lesson all right after the
happy event is over.

The Fascination of Per-
sonally Producing Music

F1IIOSE who have not experienced
the fascination of actually play
il ing musical instrumental
producing music-cannot pos
sibly appreciate it. II is a pleasure
unlike all others. and beyond words.
This ability the Pianola offers to all.
II gives immediate mastery of the
piano to it's every possessor. No mat
ter how little he previously may have
known of music. it makes real mu-
stefan of him. 1t bridges the years
ordinarily spent in learning how to
play and ushers him at once into the
fun joy OF playing.
1t gives him greater technical
skill and greater repertory than
any pianist possesses. And II teaches
him how to use this skill and this re-
pertory. so that even Paderewski him
self says of the performance of the
Pianola 1T is perfection
