The democratic statesmen who pro
pose to reduce the tariff upon Imported
articles SO as to place our manufact-
urers in keener competition with tor
eign manufacturers who pay far less
wages, are going to compel our en-
ployers to pay the same high rate OF
wages under the new conditions That
is probably a perfectly frank expires.

our industries can compete with for.
eign industries where labor conditions
are entirely different, and where wages
are very much lower, and still continue

But when they say to American
manufacturers that they must pay high
wages, tariff or no tariff, they are go

to the guillotine, after which he would
go to church and pray for his bleed
ing country. Charlotte concluded
that it would be pious act to relieve
Marat of his breath and the govt at
one and the same time, SO going to a
hardware store she bought a large, un-
used butcher knife and called at
Marat's home.
Charlotte found Marat with both
feet in a wash tub, trying to think Of
somebody who ought to be guillo-
tined. She was clever woman, and
after taking him off his guard by
chatting about the merits Of non.

plunged the butcher knife into his
cardaic mechanism with considerable
vehemence. Marat made a few brief
remarks of no particular consequence
and then departed at once for a faifer
and hotter cline.
Charlotte was arrested, found guilty

used a prosaic, 65-cent. bone-handled

ever liberty has tried to gouge q little

stand on dress parade with the heat at
the 100 degree mark and practice the
self restraint that is part OF such a
feat, Is mighty fine accomplishment
for any youth.
The best general in the world would
be helpless without the privates and
the best generals are those who
have been privates. In the same

The departure Monday OF company

bard, means that half hundred Of
,Amwa boys are at washington en-
kaged in a ten-day drill in military
tmaneuvers and discipline. Doubtless
Ysome Of the lads went with the idea
that It would be q good lark; others
nrobably went for a short vacation and
still others went because they like the
military. None Of the new men will
come back seasoned veterans and pos

into practice what he has learned CT
things martial.
But the fact remains nevertheless,
that half a hundred Ottumwa youths
and some hundred or thousands of the
young men of Iowa, are being trained
for the emergency which is not So I'M
probable as it was five or ten years
ago. All of them might not respond
to a call to arms should there be one.
but those who did would be capable OF
aiding in the speedy mobilization OF an
army that could defend this country
from attack 1t was this same stamp
Of soldier that fought the war with
Spain. When President Mckinley IS
sued his call for 175,000 volunteers. SO
many loyal Americans responded that
some sort Of line had to be drawn ana
it resulted in the selecting OF those
men who had been in the militia and
who were not green to military tactics.
The result was that nation OF shop
keepers and pig eaters" as Spain chose
to call us, had q formidable army IN
,lA. field in an Incredible short time
and what those ex-militiamen did to
the flower of the Spanish army and
navy Is history now Of the kind that
makes us proud of being Americans.
Military training In the militia 10
no hardship on anyone. It ought to be
encouraged. Every young man of
healthy sound body should be guards
man for a few years at least. It
wouldn't make him any the less use
full in his daily occupation, and 1t
wouldn't result in making this nation
one OF professional soldiers But IT
would result in this country being pre-
pared at all times to defend itself.
furthermore it would discourage at
tscks. How often do you read Of q
young and powerful athlete being set
upon and beaten up by thug? Not
often. You don't even read Of him be-
ing set upon because the thug doesn't
pick out that kind to attack. He goes
after the sisterly young fellow whose
appearance indicates plainly that there
will be little. resistance. So it is with
countries. We don't read of many in
suits or attacks upon German citizens
| In foreign climes. Why? Because
! the whole world knows that Germany,
while enjoying Is years of peace and
hoping for more, Is nevertheless ready
at any moment to protect It's citizens
and to do it most effectually and with
the utmost despatch.
A military training, however, does
the recipient even more lasting good
than it does the country. mo one IS
fitted to command who has not first
learned to obey" is a true saying that

Council Bluffs Nonpareil: The
trouble in this country now lies more

Keokuk Gate City: Congressman

house at Washington the other dav,
stated that under existing laws and
regulations none but rich mems sons

States. The regulations now In force.
he stated, require that in addition to
the education which appointees for
cadetships may have received In
their home schools, they must take
a course at a preparatory school
conducted for that purpose. This
course, including board and other out
lays necessary, is expensive and
practically prohibitory to the sons Of
poor men.

regulations abolished. The .country's
military and naval schools should be

OF the present system IL to create a
snobbish aristocracy in the military
and naval services which will render
the army and navy less efficient.

A moment later sound OF singing

carefree happiness.

the young face opposite quivered.
INTO the room she came, bright

paused suddenly as she saw the two

"Oooh! Methinks 1t is chilly here!

She happened to be just half way
