London-Sir Thomas Vansittart
Bowater was elected lord mayor of
the city of London Monday. He will

Sir Thomas Bowater is a Manches-

came to London as young man to en-

of a large firm of paper-makers. His

ct take notice that you've quit shaw
ing yourself with the timers shears,
Nels, my friend" remarked the Jani-
tor to his scandinavian assistant. you
must have sprung yourself for a razor
lately. And that fourin-hand danger
signal you're sporting is another thing
that gives me food for thought, as the
Teller says, not to mention the rhine
stone collar button. Is it the spring
season in a general way, or Is 1t the
primrose blonde in IL In special?
Well, 1t amt no business OF mine, only
you'll do we'll to be careful. Keep
your eyes open and look about you be-
fore you make up your mind.
You see, Nels," the Janitor went
on, as he hoisted himself to a seat on
the basement railing, you see you've
got opportunities, owing to the job
that you're holding down here, that
most men amt got. You don't have
to take the chances that you'd have
to take II you was on the section or
working in a livery stable. The gink
who's digging sewers or driving a

of ham sandwiches, hot dogs, chowde:

NEVER BOUND BY TRADITION
True Follower Of Art May Not Be Die
tated To, and Wise Men Recoq-
nize the Fact.

There are various approaches to
life; the way of religion, of action, OF
commerce, OF art. No one OF these
can dictate the path Of the other
Not only can religion not undertake
to show the artist which way to turn,
or art to tell commerce of the main
chance, but the artist in one kline
cannot dictate to the artist in anoth-
err. Buonarroti could not add to the
wistful grace of a Raphael Madonna,
nor could the Urbinite teach Angelo
aught Of the damonic strength or
terribilito; Angeles marbles could
not have fitted into the smiling land
scapes or open sky spaces of Peru
gino. They belonged as they were
set against rough, bare rocks, like the
Carrara quarries.
A great man when he sees an art
that surpasses comprehension, because
it is wide of tradition, puts his finger
to his lips and keeps silence. The
empty-headed are the glib dictators OF
ready Judgments. Very many years
ago when DIR. William James saw for
the first time a collection of futurist
paintings in Paris he said: IT have
never seen anything like this before!
1t is strange and inimical to me. But
these are serious men. They would
not waste their time. They must
mean something, though can't under
stand" His utterance was that Of the
wise man.
But the artist with a new thing Il
say or a new and faithful mode Of say
, ing it must be OF an independence un
thinkable! He must be able to liv'
alone gaily; to live on a crust ant
, water; to take only such rewards a
, are thrust at him, for he cannot affor'
to seek. He must be celibate an

FEMALE MAKES THE TROUBLE
Certainly in the Case of the Mosquito
They Are "More Deadly Than
the Male"

The attention OF many OF our cltl-
zens who hitherto have taken little in
terest in chronological investigation,
has been attracted to what they be-
lieve is a new variety of mosquito,
mosquito which in the course or eVo-
luton has lost it's bark, but not us
bite; that comes upon one unawares'
without a musical accompaniment.
Whatever may be said against the In
sect it should be set down to It's cred
it that 1t takes it's nourishment without
music, declining to give that addition
az smart to ones misery. This active
but diminutive specimen OF the ge-
nus Culex. now at the close OF sum-
mer, is beginning a work that VIII
continue until the first sharp frost.
AS a matter of fact these mosquitoes
that have had no difficulty in pushing
their way through the smallest mesh
ed wire screens are all females, and
for that reason we hear no song. the
males are larger, perhaps cannot make
their way through the screens, and re-
main outside, where they sing solos
or join in numbers and give hallelu
jah choruses, and encourage the SUI
! fragette sisters at their work inside
! The sisters have an Unsuitable thirst
for blood, while the mouth of the male
mosquito is not equipped for biting
! and he does not come into our houses
While the sisters are inside drinking
blood the more temperate fathers o
the family are outside slipping rain

DEMOCRATS ON WRONG TRACK
ON TARIFF

1t is evident from the published
outlines of the tariff legislation that
the democrats propose to remove the
tariff from the great products of our
country, says the Spokesman Review.
The propriety of this course is open
to question.
1t is the natural course for free
traders and advocates of tariff for
revenue only to follow 1t is an in
consistent procedure for the party
that only last July recognized that
our system of tariff taxation is init
mately connected with the business of
the country and we favor the ultimate
attainment of the principles we advo-
cate by legislation that will not in
jure or destroy legitimate industry"

New Washington Law Effective

OLYMPIA, Wash, April Sit is now
either work willingly or under duress

nor Listers singning of the bill makes
the neglectful head of the family sub
ject to a period of toll under county
auspices, the earnings to go to the de-
pendents. Many recent cases in court
where wives charged neglect, led to the
passage of the new law.

wheat and maize and hay or wool in
Ohio, Oregon, Utah and Wyoming
employ millions of American laborers
and hundreds of millions of American
capital. The costs of operation in the
United States make it impossible for
the protective duty to be taken off of
them without universal and profound
injury to these interests and the well
fare of the whole people. They can
not compete unprotected against the
cheap labor and goods of Europe.
The right principle for the reform
of the tariff is the competitive prin-
ciple. Revision of the schedules
should be based on the relative costs
of production in this country and
Europe, such rates of duty being re-
tanned as protect American industry
and the American standard of living
through equalizing the terms on
which American producers can COM
pete with foreign ones and still make
a reasonable profit. Tariff legisla-
ton that is based on the policy of
tariff for revenue only will hurt many
legitimate American industries and
njure the whole country.
