One Mans Experience.

In the lifetime of Mutsuhto emperor
of Japan, the soldiery OF his land have dis
carded armor, spears and bows and ar
rows and adopted lightweight khaki and
rapid fire rifles. Rule by a governing
class has given way to rule un er a con-
stitution. transportation aioot and upon
the backs of hairy ponies has been given
up for transportation by steam and cleo
trlcity. A country that barred its gates
TO every stranger and forbade every ma
tive 10 visit foreign ports now invites and
entertalns hundreds of thousands of tour
lists every wear. A land that was content
with itself felt all-sufficient in itself and
essential toward all things beyond the
horizon has whipped its big neighbor,
stayed the encroachments of the biggest
European nation, adopted policy of ex-
pansion and colonization, brought itself
in connection automatically and COM
mercially with all the world and sent
shivers of fright and uneasiness through
several foreign offices-all this in the life
time of MutSuhito.
Many of Mutsuhito's subjects have be-
held more. But none have been so inti-
mately concerned in great things and
great changes.

Wear to Gold Coins.

There are probably millions of dollars
in gold com circulating in the United
States which are not worth their face
value. This fact has been called to the
attention of Lee McClung, Treasurer of
the United States. but the government
has no desire or intention to recall the
money in order that only gold of stand
ard value may be in circulation.
Should this gold be presented at the
treasury or sub treasures, the owners
would be the losers, because of the
enormous wear caused by the abrasion
in circulation. While the government
does not require that gold coins shall be
of standard weight to be redeemed at
their face value, it has established what
is known as a Limit OF tolerance,
which permits loss in weight OF one
half of per cent.
Below that limit the treasury makes
reduction at the rate o; 4 cents per grain.
Light weight gold, it is said, exists
principally on the Pacific Coast, where
the greater bulk of the yellow metal is in
circulation. The financial interests of
the West, the treasury has been advised.
so that they know two kinds of gold
treasury gold and bank gold. The
former is full weight while the latter is
below the Limit of tolerance" The
worn gold never reaches the treasury
and subtreasuries. According to the
reports here, it is passed from bank to
bank and from individual to individual.
like plugged coin, and that way main
tains Its parity of value.
Curiously enough silver coin, always
is worth its face value, however, much
abused BY the ravages of time.-BrOOk-

How Bryan Won His Wife.

After William Jennings BRYAN had
courted the beautiful Mary Baird for
what he considered a sufficient length
of time, the Commoner, then a struggling
young lawyer, concluded to put the vital
question to the father of the future Mrs.
Bryan. William, after finally downing
the lump in his throat, sought refuge in
the scriptures.
"Mr. Baird. have been reading Pro-
verbs great deal lately" said Mr.
Bryan, "and | find that Solomon says:
whatsoever hndeth a wife, findeth a
good thing and obtaineth favor of the
Lord. ,"
Father Baird, being somewhat of
Bible scholar himself, replied: ''Yes, l
believe that Solomon did say that, but
Paul also suggests that, while he that
marrieth doeth well, he that marrieth
not doeth better"
BRYAN, who never has been at loss for
an answer in his spectacular life quickly
replied: Solomon would be the best au-
thority on this subject, because Paul was
never married, while Solomon had a
number of wives"
Whereupon Father Baird captulated.

Mr. Taf's administration has been a
failure from beginning to end, simply
because Mr.. Taft became the subservient
instrument in the hands OF the Repubi-
can bosses, who knew exactly what
they wanted, and absolutely ignored the
great mass of the people who were
groaning under the burden of the high
cost Of living. Mr. Taft's weakness
arises from doing what the special inter-
ests wanted done, and the special inter-
ests control the Republican party.
Mr.. Taft was, and is, doomed to defeat
under any and all circumstances. Besides
all else the steal Of the Chicago Conven-
ton makes his defeat a toregone couclu-
sion, His reelection means only a
scramble for sDoils without a rederming
feature
! The campaign Of Mr. Roosevelt is
only one for the qualification Of the per-
sonal ambition OF one man, and is based
upon buster and false pre,ense.
There never was such all exhibition
Of brag and bluster, and Of the personal
/ proaoun in the history Of American
politics as Theodore Roosevelt has given
to the world
In the face OF the absolute record that
he made in the seven yes and hall
that he was President. and in which the
rights Of the mass Of the people were
utterly ignored, he now springs forth as
= 'he great and only friend Of the people.
We do not believe that there ever was
any man, who as President had such an
absolute disregard of the rights and the
needs Of the people as Theodore Roose.
Welt during the whole time that he was
President Of the United States. He nov
holds himself forth as the one and only
man in all Of the political parties. who is
the friend OF the people and who can
cure all Of the ills of the people and re.
store to them all of their rights.
In the end it will be found that
Mr. Roosevelts strength in the ante
convention campaign was because Of Mr,
Taft'S supreme failure and weakness.
Between these Two men the contest has
been waged, and neither one Of them
could have been elected. even if there
had been no contest and no split in their
party.
But the steal of the Chicago Conven,
ton has given Mr.. Roosevelt a new
| lease Of life to make the race as third
candidate, and he will get two votes tc
Taft's one, but there is not the ghost OF
a chance Tor his election, and would not
have been if he had been nominated in
Chicago.
The people of this country do moi
want and will not have a third term o.
Mr.. Roosevelt. nor a second term BY
Mr.. Taft. The high cost of living alone
precludeS the possibility Of the election
of both or either of them.

Tariff For Revenue Only.

"If the tariff is really to be made tar
if for revenue only, then every species of
protection must be moved from the
American farmer and the American labor
ing man. Furthermore, if the Demo
cratic platform is not repudiated, then
the party under Wilson will bring every
industry in the country to a crash, which
would make all the panics in our past
history seem like child's play in compar-
isOu.' What Bourbon stand-patter is it
who utterS these cries of alarm? We give
our readers three gueSseS. Is it the Pro-
tective Tariff League? Is it Penrose? Is
1t AldrCh? No, il is Theodore Roose.
welt. The great (if somewhat late) Pro-
gressive, the man who has moaned and
even shrieked about the faithlessness of
President Taft in not cutting down tariff
duties, the candidate who is going to
look into the tariff and see if it is not
responsible for the high cost of living,
which he is determined to reduce-he is
the one who now emits these walls about
the calamity of giving the Democrats
chance to remove the burdens of tariff
taxation! No wonder that Bryan calls
the Colonel the prince of reactionaries.
On the tariff, which he was always afraid
to touch with the tip Of one of his fingers
while he was President and had the pow
er to do something to relieve the people,
he writes in d spirit of bigoted ignorance
that Payne could not surpass and Pen
rose or Smoot could not hope to rival.
Mr. Roosevelt's ringing of the old tariff
alarm bells goes well with his assertion
that if the Democratic plan to make COM
petition effective, and to punish Trust
criminals, were carried out, all business
everywhere throughout the United States
would stop" To this Perkins will say
amen. New York Evening Post.

MExIcANs STILL FIGHTING.
Battle at Jiminez Starts Upon the
 Sixth Day.

Jiminez. Mexico, March 27.-The reported retreat of the federal gen eral Troey Aubert last night and early today seems to have been a mask, for this ;- ;f |; ~;is foi ted have reorganized his troops and to be returning to attack JimineZ.
 It was reported he already has at. tackled detachment of insurrectos at a place known as rancho San Pe- dro, about 10 miles from this city
 Information that Aubert had halt ed his retreat and was returning to the attack, resulted in cancellation of an order issued earlier in the day for General Campa, with 600 of his rebels to occupy Parral, two hours journey by rail from here. Campa was ordered to report at this place at once.
 The rebel column still at Escalon, 30 miles south of here, has been or dered to proceed north to attack Au- bert in the rear. It is possible. though not probable, that Aubert has not heard of the repulse of the other federal columns and still expects to be supported.

SON KILLED FATHER.
Fifteen-Year-old Boy Shoots to De-
 fend His Mother.

Richmond, Va, March 27.-James Currie. an engineer, was shot and in- stantly killed in his home here to- night by his son, Robert Currie, a lad of 15 years. Entering his house at the supper hour, 1t is said the boy found his mother struggling to free herself from her husband, who was choking her. Securing an old army rifle standing in a corner of the dining room, the lad pointed it toward his father and fired. She bullet en- tered the neck and severed the jugu- lar vein. With his parent lying dead on the floor. the son remained near by until the police arrived, a few minutes later and placed him under arrest. There are nine children in the family, most of whom witnessed the shooting.
