Wilfrid. "Oficer, is the amount

the reply, with a sympathetic

Wilfrid was parting with a

as the transaction was completed,
a slanting platform run up to the
car, and Snowfall delivered into
his keeping.
The officer wiped away sus-
picious moisture from his eye as
the little girl threw her arms
around the neck of the snowy
white animal, cried over her re-
covered pet and then laughed for
Joy.
It was only ten miles back to
her home. Wilfrid led SNOWFALL
with a halter. Part of the way
the girl rode on her back.
Somehow the people of the
town found out what the strange
procession meant. An enterpris-

the material for a good story, and

PUBLIC FUNDS AID THE. WORK I
Gratifying Sign That the People Are :
Awake to Value of Fight Against
Tuberculosis.

Compared with the expenditures for
tuberculosis work in 1910, those OF the
past year are practically the same IN
the aggregate, but they are almost MOI
double those Of 1909. The National al
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis. in its third an.
nual statement. points out, however ''af
what 1t considers more signincant
than the aggregate expenditures,
namely, that the percentage OF money none
spent from public funds is greater IN
1911 than ever before. being 66.2 per
cent. of the total. In 1909 only 53.5
per cent OF the total expenditures
was from public funds, and In 1910
It had increased to 62.6 per cent. In
1911 over s9.6O0,000 Of the $14,50O.0OO
spent was from federal, state, munich
pal or county funds. Since the chleI
work Of the anti-tuberculosis associa-
tons is to urge the public authorities
to provide for tuberculosis patients.
and thus to assume the responsibility
for stamping out this disease, the In
creased percentage Of public money
Is regarded as a very favorable sign
Of progress. B III ~
Appropriations OF over $10,O00,000
for tuberculosis work in 1912 have al
ready been made by state legislatures
and municipal and county bodies. OF
this sum about $4,700,00O is from
state appropriations. and about IS, 7OO.-
900 for county and municipal purposes.
In addition to these sums, the federal
government spends about $1,000, 600
every year, supporting its several spe-
cial tuberculosis Senatorial

WHEN "PRAcTIcAL1 MEN" MET
Possibly e. y. Hartman and Presi.
dent Roosevelt on Momentous
sa.# Occasions Played Checkers.

Why Mr.. Roosevelt should break IN
upon the joyous season with another
formal denial that he asked Mr.. E. H.
Hartman to raise big campaign
fund for use in New York In 1904 IS
not, exactly clear. He has pleaded
not guilty several times before this,
on one occasion in letter much
longer than that which he now pub
fishes.
Mr.. Hartman is dead, but his evil
dence is on file, and perhaps 1t Is
quite as trustworthy as anything that
the former president may say on the
subject. It was the letter to Mr.. Har'
riman inviting him to visit the White
House at the time when this campaign
fund was said to have been discussed
that contained Mr.. Roosevelt's cele-
brated wheedling expression: You
and I are practical men,"
Strangely enough, at the close OF
this interview Mr.. Hartman went
hurriedly to the big interests in New
York and raised 100000, which
amount, he said in his letter to Sidney
Webster, enabled the New YORK com
mittee to continue it's work, with the
result that at least $4,000 votes were
turned in New York alone, making a
difference of 100000 in the general
result"
On this subject Mr. Roosevelt's mind
appears to be a blank. He can hardly
remember meeting Mr.. Hartman and
he is perfectly sure that the question
of campaign contributions never was
discussed by them. Being practica
men, the election being only week
or SO away and New York being con
sidered for some reason a, doubtful
state, they naturally talked on liter
airy and social topics exclusively. ano

Democratic Campaign Document.
It is admitted by the president that
the effect of the high duties on wool
and wooden goods has been to exclude
..'the importation Of clean, low-priced
foreign woods Of inferior grades
which could have been used to Ito
displace the cheap substitutes now IN
use.'
In other words, many who are now
wearing shoddy might be wearing
wool If the Republican congress had
not seen fit to insure the profits OF
those who are engaged In the woollen
industry. &
With few comments and annota'
lions President Taft's message advo-
eating the lowering Of the WOODEN

document for the Democratic party.

Startling Export Figures.

illustrated most effectively by com
parison. In 1880 we sent abroad AGO.
900 pairs The showing for this year
will approximate 100000 pairs.
These figures do not include expor-
tations Of rubber footwear, Of which
about 100000 pairs are sent abroad

mate $17,O00,O0O.
A very noteworthy feature of the
matter is the fact that the average
price per pair secured for American
boots and shoes is $1.69, against $1.13.

competitor IN the boot and shoe bust

They Do Not Mean It.

If the Republicans in congress were
truly intent upon making tariff 70
Offset "the difference in the cost Of
production here and abroad" as they
pretend to be, the tariff question
would disappear from politics in short
order.
The difference in cost Of production
could be made UP by, revenue tariff
giving incidental protection and 1t
need not average more than Is or 20
per cent. But that Is not what the
standpatters want ard it is not what
they will have If they can control mat
tiers.
We now have tariff taxes on many
necessaries ranging from rs to 100 per
cent Most of these taxes, of course,
are prohibitory. Prohibitory tariffs
turn our markets over to homegrown
monopoly, and it is monopoly which
increases the cost Of living and cor
,rupts our politics.

Common Sense for Arbitration

Common Sense for Arbitratton.
It is no small gain to the arbitra-
tion treaties in the senate that they
should have won the support of John
Sharp Williams, whose growing influ-
ence on the Democratic side Of the
chamber is noticeable. He is In dis
agreement with certain distinguished
persons Of President Taft's party in
and out of the senate. He thinks 1t
absurd that American representatives
on joint high commission would
regard as justiciable such home ques-
lions as alien immigration or de-
faulted state debts, or such settled
national policies as the Monroe doc
trine. But If joint commission
should SO decide, it would be within
the power of the senate to deal with
the agreement as with any treaty.
