pusls over Triviarislss.

The trivialities which led to dueIs
in the old days were almost infinite
John Ashton mentions some OF them
in noting that by William Tvs time
public opinion was setting against the
practice. Colonel Montgomery was
shot in a duel about dog, Captain
Ramsay in one about servant, Mr..
Fetherston in one about recruit,
Sterne's father In one about a goose
and some one else about an acre Of
anchovies' instead Of .artichokes.' One
officer was challenged for merely ask
ing bis opponent to have another glass.
and another was compelled to fight
about a pinch of snuff. while General
Barry was challenged by a Captain
Smith for declining a glass of wine
with him at dinner on steamboat, al
though the general had pleaded In ex-
cuse that wine Invariably made him
sick at sea. ."-Lopdon Chronicle.

The findings Of the tariff board with
regard to the woolen schedule were an
alyzed by Chairman Underwood Of the
ways and means committee and con-
demned as inaccurate, incomplete and
worthless as an aid to legislation.
When the tariff boards findings on
the cotton schedule were made public
the World decided to make its own
Investigation concerning 1t, and Mr..
MacLea was selected for that purpose
The World had the findings of the
board on manufacturers Of cotton dis
sected from the practical point of view
Of business, analyzed In their relation
to the interest of the consumer and
the facts translated into the language
Of the everyday man and woman.
One hundred cloth samples purchased
In representative domestic markets
. were made the basis Of the tariff
boards findings on the cost Of cotton
cloth produced In this country. Mr..
MacLea used the same cloth samples
as concrete illustrations of the work
ings Of the tariff and from these ex-
posed the very generally perpetrated
fraud Of selling American made goods
as imported" and showed why the
excessive tariff permits and fosters
this imposition.
Recognizing that the tariff would be
a vital issue Of the campaign and that
controversy would center about Presi-
dent Taft's "nonpartisan" tariff board
and its work, the World undertook the
investigation Of cotton and sought an
swers to the following questions:
Has the work Of the tariff board jus.
tilted the delay In reducing the tariff
and giving relief from the high cost
Of llvlng7
What have the people gained in tho
three years under the Payne-AIdrieh
tariff IN RETURN FOR MORE THAN
$4,000, 100000 TAXED OUT OF THEIR
POCKETS AND INTO THE POck-
ETs OF PROTECTED PRIVILEGE?
How honestly, impartially and thor
oughIy did the "nonpartisan" tariff
board undertake its task7
Several months before the cotton re-
port was completed Mr.. MacLea de-
clares that he discovered sinister In
fiuences in the tariff boards working
to eliminate findings most damaging
to the favored few in the cotton mill
industry. Such suppressed information
as Mr.. MacLea considers to be Of vital
Importance to the cotton industry and
the public has been presented in the
World. He has also explained what
the mass OF figures Of the cotton report
signifies and presented some Of the
most important Of the conclusions to
be drawn from that report, work
which the board saw fit not to attempt.
The story Of cotton, as written by
Mr.. MacLea and published in the
World from time to time, forms one
Of the most interesting and important
features Of the present campaign.

Solving the Old Problem.

When Sir Thomas Upton was small
boy in Scotland he dropped into q
church one Sunday morning and was
put by himself In pew directly in
front Of the minister, who preached a
sermon on the text "Am my brothers
keeperT"
The parson, who was unusually elo-
quent, talked on this theme for about
forty minutes and finally worked up to
the climax of his remarks. He kept
his gaze fixed directly on the little Lip
ton. who began to fidget and look very
self conscious. At last, after an over
whelming outpouring Of long words,
the minister, his eyes blazing, made a
quick gesture and shouted at the boy:
"Am my brothers keeper7'
Upton could stand the strain no lon
ger, and replied In meek voice:
"No, sir."-Popular Magazine.

The Harris Duniway Gontroversai y
is creating no little interest In the
campaign. Duniway is state printer
and Harria Is expert printer The
latter js endeavoring to show up the
advantages of the fiat salary system,
while Duniway. who owns the state
printing plant aud is doing the work
by contract, is vigorously defending
that method. He favors an "open
shop" while Harris Is an avowed union
man. Both are flooding the mails
With circulars TO voters, setting forth
the respective sides of the state print
Ing question. The state printing office
has long been the bone of disoord in
state politics, and 1t yet remains for
the voters Of the state to have the op-
portunity 10 support sane business
measure that will insure desired re-
lief.

One OF our exchanges observes that
the presidential campaign is probably
without precedent. Five party nom
lnees are active candidates. Intense
Interest pievails throughout the couu-
try with a minimum of partisan pol
itics. No issues are defined and no
party oreed or platform is seriously
considered. The campaign was
launched IN personal vilihcation and
1 .nunciation. "Thief, crook, liar" !"
and similar undignified and nngentle-
manly epithets seem the substance OF
political discourse, and the voters are
called upon to decide the difference
Between men rather than division on
policies pertaining 10 the principles OF
government.

Roosevelt in his Western Bull Moose

Roosevelt In his Western Bull Moose
trek, has teen consistently misrepre-
senting Wilson. He is trying to COO.
nect the democratic candidate with
the interests and bosses. Roosevelt
knows as well as docs every ytody else
that Wilson wears no ones collar but
his own. The result of the Baltimore
convention alone shows the fallacy OF
Roosevelt's statements. The follow.
ing from the New York World. the
leading democratic paper of the nation
and stanob Wilson supporter, in
backing up Wilson. says OF the Tam
many outfit with whom the democrat
10 candidate has no affiliation what
ever: murphy represents the part
nership tetween crooked politics and
crooked business, and every intelligent
voter in New York knowsit. Murphy
is exploiting the state government for
his own pocket, and every intelligent
voter in New York knows 1t. Murphy
has no publicly known business except
politics. Murphy has no publicly
known place of business except Tam
many Hall. So far as the public REQ
ords go. Murphy has no visible means
of support. No industry, occupation
or employment appears in the city d.
reotory opposite Murphy's name. All
this is a matter Of common knowledge.
and The World will not assist the
democratic organization In helping
this man exploit the people Of New
York for his own gain. If the dem
ocrats of this state want Murphy to
be boss Of their party. well and good.
II they want him TO name their candi-
date for governor and select their can
didates for other state Offices, well
and good. II they want him to be su-
premo ruler of democratic destiny in
In this stats, well and good. let them
turn the state convention over to
Murphy--and then let them elect the
ticket IL they can. The World will
not be alone in this fight against
Murphyized democracy. 1t will have
the support OF every other independent
newspaper in New York. 1t will
have the support of q hundred thou

"Liarl,' was Theodore Roosevelt's
favorite method formerly of side-step-
ping facts that embarrassed him; and
his admirers. though they abhor ep-
ithets from others. made allowance
for him. With similar toleration they
smile approvingly now when MIR.
Roosevelt calls Wharton Barker an
"out patient of Bedlam," and bis
sworn testimony a "pipe- dream" So
Mr.. Roosevelt is likely to escape an
other dilemma with an impudent
phrase, which is saved from the COM

rha calIaws Plant.

During the middle ages the botanists.
or old "herbalists," gave currency to
many curious stories concerning the
growth, form, etc., of the mandrake or
May apple, which finally resulted in its
being given the name Of "gallows
plant" The pseudo scientists Of that
time declared that mandrakes would
grow in no other place except upon
which some terrible crime had been
committed. The roots were formerl.
supposed to bear a strong resemblance
to the human form.

STORY OF COTTON
IS A THRILLER
A Narrative That Concerns The
Welfare Of millions.
SHOWS EVILS or PROTECTION
Whole People Robbed by Tariff That
Fa,ch Manufacturer May Benefit.
Robert Kenneth MacLea, Consulting
Expert Of the Tariff Board, Shows
That the American People Are
MuIeted Of $ss,ooo,ooO Year.

MuIcted of $880o0000 Year.
New York, Aug. did you ever
hear the story Of cotton?
It is as thrilling as narrative Of
adventure. 1t Is as interesting as q
novel--interesting particularly because
1t concerns the welfare Of millions Of
people who wear cotton goods. It ts
interesting because 1t Is the dress Of
the poor, the universal substitute for
wool and silk. 1t Is interesting, fur
thermore, because 1t Is true.
The story Of cotton is the story Of q
protective tariff for the benefit Of rich
manufacturers at the expense Of the
whole people who wear cotton goods.
II has been reasonably calculated
that because the cotton tariff Is fixed
by the Payne-AIdrich law the Amer-
can people are paying $8s,ooo,o00 more
every year than they should pay for
their cotton goods and that a saving
OF this amount could be accomplished
by reasonable reduction in the pres
snt duties.
The story Of cotton Is told by an ex-
pert, Robert Kenneth MacLea, consult
ing expert of the tariff board, In Sc
ries of articles published In the New
York World. Mr.. MacLeas views are
the views of lifelong Republican, a
friend Of the protective policy Of the
Republican party, but at the same time
an opponent OF tariff graft and favor
itism. To this work Mr.. MacLea has
brought varied experience, covering
more than twenty years, In the man
ufacture and marketing of textiles.
He first distinguished himself as an
advocate of honest tariff legislation by
finding the "jokers" of the Payne-Al-
drich act, when the agents of few
New England mills were permitted to
write their own rates to suit them
selves. lie was chairman of the tar
III committee of the New York Dry
Goods Merchants association and in
that capacity conducted a campaign
which attracted the attention Of the
newly created tariff board. TO accept
the position of consulting expert to the
board he gave up the management Of
the domestic business of the New York
firms Of II. b. MacLea & Co. and Con.
