Sound the loud timbrel, exultingly
sing. Down in the zinc and lead belt
of Missouri, in the Hourishing town of
Joplin, there is happiness supreme. No
longer does the miner cast an anxious
eye southwark upon the peon labor OF
Mexico. No longer does the smelter
wonder if his occupation will be gone.
On the contrary, renewed hope has
burst like an aurora upon the Joplin
horizon and joy is unconhned.
And the change has been wrought
so simply, so quietly, so easily. In the
tariff bill, as it passed the House, the
duty on zinc-bearing ores was 10 per
cent ad valorem and on lead it was
half a cent a pound. By a sympa-
thetic stroke of somebody's pen these
duties have been raised to I2I-2 per
cent and three-quarters of cent, re-
spectively, an increase of IS and so per
cent. incidentally, the duty on zinc
in blocks and pigs has been raised
from 10 to IS per cent ad valorem.
Thus is the mantle of higher protee-
ton wrapped more closely around an
other industry, even though the same
friendly covering is being rudely torn
from many another shrinking FORM
When Senator Stone of Missouri, a
member of the Senate Finance Com
mittee, visits the town of Joplin its
citizens should meet him with brass
band and give him the freedom of the
city. He has remembered them in
their distress, he has been their friend
at court. Surely his devotion to their
interests is worthy of all praise.

To the Editor: 1t is but simple justice

Both men have an equal fondness for
the destinations of Senatorial debate and
both are equally diligent in cultivating

that when either of them rises to "wreak

elicits loud outbursts of attention. The
Colorado Senator does not make such an

Animal Protection Congress.

The announcement that the lnterna-
tional Administration and Animal
Protection Congress is to be held in
Washington next December will be of
interest to very many who are by no
means rabid NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. For
some time past, indeed, mans con-
science has been awakened to a recog-
milton of the fact that he has duties
to perform toward the animals which
in various ways serve him. Self-in-
terest, if nothing more, is forcing him
to recognize his duty in the premises.
Exploiting animals without mercy is
suicidal. Wholesale destruction of
birds, for example, is bearing its fruits
in an appalling increase of worm and
insect life which is destroying our
crops and contributing its full share
toward the high price of living.
The gross inconsistency is beginning
at last to dawn upon us of Furnishing
brutal carter for beating his horse
or mule taxed beyond its strength, or
of sending a poor poverty-stricken
huckster to prison for working a
donkey unfit for work, while allowing
an inexperienced medical man, pleading
scientific research, to keep a dog or a
cat under torture for weeks at time
without the remotest possibility OF
adding anything to the knowledge
which will benefit humanity. Whatever
one may think OF vivisection in the
hands of a master there can be no
excuse for such cruelty as is per-
petrated in some of our schools and
Laboratories in the name of science.
The congress is one in which all can
properly take part, and we bespeak for
it a hearty welcome and sympathetic
support. 1t is catholic in its sympa-
thies. 1t believes in sane and reason
able methods. 1t represents, indeed
many men and many minds, but its
one idea is the protection of animal
and bird life from all unnecessary and
useless cruelty and to set forward ami
NAL welfare with which mans own
welfare is mysteriously bound up. An
educational campaign looking TO such
ends as this we may surely all heartily
and unreservedly support and wish il
abundant success.

money in the pocket of a purchases.
This newest 10000 Rembrandt is the
same picture that sold for sos while
Ben. Franklin was editing Philadei-
phia newspaper. Time has not improved
it any more than years would add luster
to a diamond. Canvas and colors and
every line and shade were there then
as they are now. Why has It become
so enormously valuable? Because in the
time when the picture was first sold. in
1734, no Dutchman nor anybody else had
$4,000 to pay for a painting. Now hun
dreds of people appear to have it and
are willing to spend It. II the multiple

years to cheaper things as rapidly as
in the last century. the papers of June,
