American life will pass, just so
surely as Capitalization of retail

continues. The American country

the things that make America
great. Here in these country
towns the spirit of nelghborliness
is the prevailing spirit. Men come
to know each other. 10 the one who
is intelligent and wise, respect al

creation of no indecently rich and
no abjeetly poor, the American

the most hopeful of our American
institutions.
The mail order house, therefore,
becomes a menace to this country.
The mail order house unrestricted
will kill our smaller towns, creating
great cities with their terrible con-

FOUR FLEA POWER OF WATCH
Delicate Little instrument Whose Eal-
anee Wheel Is Driven More Than
$500 Miles a Year.

Few pieces of machinery show more
wonderful features than that of the
watch. AS a general proposition it
may be stated that a watch is the
smallest, most delicate instrument of
the same number of parts that has
ever been devised.
About rs different pieces of mate
rial enter into its construction and up
ward of 1000 separate operations are
comprised in its manufacture. Ger
tain of the facts connected with its
performance are almost incredible
when considered as a whole.
A blacksmith strikes several hun
dred blows on his anvil in a day and
as matter of course is glad when
Sunday comes, but the roller jewel of
watch makes every day-and day
after day-432 600 impacts against the
fork, or 157 $4,000 blows during the
course of year without stop or rest
or some 3,153, 100000 blows during
the space of twenty years, the period
for which a watch is usually guaran-
teed to keep good time.
But the wonder of 1t does not cease
here says the Michigan Manufacturer
1t has been calculated that the power
that moves the watch is equivalent
to only four times the force used in
a fea's jump. The watch power is
therefore what might be termed the
equivalent of four flea-power. One
horsepower would suffice To Onerafe
270000,000 watches.
Furthermore the balance wheel Of
a watch is moved BY this four flea
power 1.43 inches with each vibration,
or 3,558A miles continuously in one
year. Not much oil is required to lu-
bricate the little machine on its $500
mile run. It takes only one-tenth of a
drop of oil to oil the entire machin-
cry for years service.

because of his stand for popular gov
eminent and because he let it be
known that he did not desire the sup
port of special interests, giving them
to understand that they need expect
no favor from him after election, have
not injured him In public estimation
nor swerved him from his high pur-
pose to serve the whole and not sim
ply part Of the people
THE latest criticism of him Is that
as governor of New Jersey he has
made no effort to modify or repeal the
laws of that state under which most
of the great trusts have been organ
lied. This charge Is entirely baseless,
for in his very first message to the
legislature Governor Wilson de-
nounced the existing Incorporation
laws of the state as having brought
discredit upon it and urged such
changes in them as would effectually
prevent the abuse of the privilege of
Incorporation. He also recommended
that such scrutiny and regulation
should not be confined to corporations
seeking charters but should be extend
ed to those already In existence.
A Strong Candidate.
Governor Wilson, as our candidate
for president, appeals to me particu-
larry at this juncture in view of con-
ditions IN the Republican party. Pres
ident Taft will unquestionabIy be re-
nominated by that party His sympa-
thy with the regular Republicans and
his opposition to reforms advocated
by the progressive Republicans are
we'll known. While it may be admit
ted that the leaders of the progress
sives will support the ticket nominal
ed by their party, yet this is not true
of the rank and file who as rule are
without political ambition and conse-
quently have no party loyalty to main
tain TO a greater extent than any
OF the Democratic candidates for the
nomination Governor Wilson would
draw from this class Of voters besides
holding every Democrat worthy OF
the name and drawing largely from
the educational classes and the indie
pendent element. His campaign, like
the one he made for governor OF New
Jersey, will be remarkable in our lis
TOYS for Intellectual Yigor in grasp of
present political conditions and in
clearness of statement of the rene
dies he is unexcelled by any pub
lie man of the times. We must not
underrate the strength and resources
Of the Republican party and should
not delude ourselves with the belief
that any man we nominate can be
elected We must draw from the dis
satisfied Republicans and the indie
pendaats to win ana in my judgment
the surest way 10 90 this Ia to noInI-
nate Governor wilson"

lie Eats No Corn.

81 am dearly fond of corn on the
cob said the mathematician, but
haven't eaten any this season"
What's the matter? 1t doesn't cost
much"
We'll, that all depends upon how
you look at it. Take it in the market,
it's cheap enough, twenty-five or thirty
cents a dozen ears. But l have to
eat in restaurants, and there l would
have to pay ten cents an ear or $1.20
a dozen for it. Now, where do you
suppose the restaurants get the cour-
age to charge that much for serving
hot what costs them only one-fourth
that much in the raw state? If the
eorn were difficult Of preparation for
the table, if it took much trouble in
the cooking or if it required elaborate
sauces it would be different. But
corn on the cob is the simplest thing
a restaurant can serve, and for one,
| don't purpose to let them make any
800 per cent. profit out Of me on their
old corn"

shakesneare in 1893.

What, we wonder, would happen to
the London manager nowadays who
should dare to put on the stage such
a version of a Shakespearian tragedy
as was played in Ireland hundred
years ago? Mrs Earle in her book,
Memoirs and Memories" gives a
Dublin play bill in 1898, which is
worth quoting
The play was the tragedy of Ham
let originally written and composed
by the celebrated Dan Hayes of Linz
erick and inserted in Shakespeare's
works" TIE title role is taken by
a gentleman who between the acts
will perform several solos on the
patent bagpipe, which performs two
tunes at the same time"
The Huttig news., 1912-03-09
PAY FOR THE FRENCH NAMES
Fastidious Restaurant Patrons Could
Get Same Dishes in american"
for Much Less.

Frank P Ward, writing for Harper's
Weekly, declares that the men who
cater to the hunger and thirst of the
wealthy in New York make a profit
of anything up to 900 per cent For
this condition he blames one class OF
restaurant patrons whom he describes
as persons who turn up their noses
at eggs with grated cheese, 25 cents,
but go into eestasies over oeufs a la
refine, $1-exactly the same dish" To
descend a little in the scale, says Mr..
Ward, beef and" establishme are
highly profitable; a fact which, as he
points out. goes to show that if these
can coin money at five and ten cents
a throw" the others an do better.
There is nndeniabIy q deal OF sound
sense in Mr.. Wards arraignment OF
manifestations person who ecstatically
pays IS cents for food and rs cents
additional for a French name to go
with it. The person of that tempera-
ment is evidently convinced that grub
by more genteel name would taste
as sweet, and is determined to eat 1t
by the other name, cost what 1t may.
Why eat 'vittles' when, by merely
paying a quadruple price, one may
have nourriture? Why, indeed! If
French names for Yankee dishes serve
best to keep in circulation the money
of the finical rich, by all means put
them up in French.-Manchest
