MATTE ON ENGINES.

The fuel inspector OF the Pere Mar
quette railroad has Issued a letter to
enRinemen urging economy in con
sumption of coal, and puts his plea on
quite good grounds. Ordinarily the ap-
peal is a simple business proposition
with covert intimation that there may
be sessions on the carpet II economy is
not practiced The PeTe Marquette
man puts 1t on high grounds. He calls
attention to natures benehcence ia
placing the fuel supply at our hands,
but bewRils the condition OF future
generations which may have to SILVER
through hard winters because of the
wastefulness OF the coal users OF to-
day. The Pere Marquette man has
consulted the records and finds that
20 900 locomotives in the United States
consume more coal than 10000 loco

ference is equalized by the greater
size OF loads hauled here. but in the

Whether the appeal OF the Pere Mar,

BENEDICT ARNOLD.

Benedict Arnold was once the friend
of George Washington. He was
brave man and stood high in the es-
TEEN Of the early heroes of the Ameri-
can revolution as one of the patriotic
officers OF the continental army. Every
school child is familiar with his career;
how he rose to rank and fame, and how
he fell to disgrace and infamy. Amoi-
ton and jealousy led to his downfall,
and his name lives in history as the
arbitrator TO the cause Of freedom
and independence.
President Taft. in an address last
week, recalled the record Of Benedict
Arnold's disloyalty to his country.
We should not forget our true re-
lation to our fellowmen," he said, nor
to the obligations We owe to those who,
as individuals. make up the body poll
tic"
The telegraphic report in the State
Register OF la. Saturday telling Of the
address, said:
The president had been telling the
story OF the defense OF Fort Griswold,
81 years ago. and OF the courage of
those farmers. who had defended the
walls against the British under Bene-
dict Arnold. He had spoken OF Arnold
/ saying that no one who had studied
/ rhe brilliant parts Of the man and his
ambition, could help feeling regretfu
that love OF self. selfabsorbtion and
ambition for power had led him into
the path which made him the great
est traitor OF all times"

drawing a moral from his career, i:

sToUr-HEARTED OLD FOLKS.

When Senator Stephenson was

merely a case OF no railroad. no trolley

but Of the entire lack OF available con

Isaac Stephenson was never an eX-

was nothing in his fishing expedition

4 STRIKING COMPARISON.
Coming nearer home, the difference
in the cost of living in Detroit and
just across the river in Windsor, Can
ada, supplies us with a striking def
milton of the real meaning of excessive
tariff rates. Prices of foodstuffs, wear
ing apparel and rents average from %
to % per cent more in Detroit than in
Windsor. And between the two cities
there are but 2,56l feet of water-and
the Aldrich-Payne tariff bill
The Detroit man is protected" and
the Windsor man is not.
BY not being protected" the Wind
sor man pays SIS for a suit of clothes
that the Detroit man will find it diff
cult to duplicate in quality for $25.
What the Windsor man is escaping in
this instance is the AldriCh-Payne tax
of "A cents a pound on good Atwood
clothes, ana the additional tax of co
per cent of the value of the goods.
But protest the protectionists,"
there has been an increase il the
United States in the cost of many ar
ticles on which there is no tariff. Does
not this show that protection is not
the cause of the increase in the cost
of living"
Answering this question. Senator
Moses E. CIapp of Minnesota says:
You will hear il said constantly.
with reference TO something on which
! the price has been advanced. oh. that
isn't in the tariff al all, That increase
has nothing to do with the tariff But
the fact is that the tariff reaches all
! along the line: You can't raise the
cost Of living to a man who is produc-
ing something to sell without forcing
that man to raise correspondingly the
/ price of what he has to sell"

CAREER OF WOODROW WILSON

Princeton, the first layman to fill that
post.
Began his fight on the quadrangle
system and to put all students on
man-to-man feeting of democracy
Again locked horns with Princeton
leaders about graduate schools. This
struggle continued up to the time of
his resignation, in 1910, TO run for
governor of New Jersey, being elect
ed.
While at Hopkins, he wrote, as his
thesis, his work on Congressional
Government" He produced THE
State" his biography of George Wash
ington, his History of the United
States" and Division and Reunion e"
Under Governor Wilson, who frank
ly informed the democrats that If
elected they would at the same time
elect him leader of the party. the
boss system was wiped out in the
democratic party in the state OF New
Jersey; a public service commission
vas created; a modern workmen's
compensation act was passed: pri-
mary election laws were strengthen
ec, and an act was placed on the stat
ute books giving municipalities the
privilege to adopt the commission
form of government.
He was nominated by the democrat
! ic party for the presidency of the

the old spring with a bucket of milk
