KEEPING THE FAITH.

Not before in nearly seventy years
has a tariff-reform bill been steered
through the Senate with SO slender q
party majority behind it. Not before
in this time has so slender a majority
SO firmly resisted all temptation to
break the party's pledges and faith.
Whether the Underwood bill has
been greatly improved by the Senates
amendments is a debatable question
Some of these amendments, such as
the one taxing cotton futures, seem 10
have no legitimate place in a measure
of this kind and ought to be eliminated
! in conference. The increased duty on
modern art we regard as indefensible.
None the less, the Democratic majority
in the Senate deserves vote of con-
fidence and congratulation from the
American people.
II has done what the party set out
TO do. 1t has helped the House revise
the tariff downward. With only one
vote to spare the Sugar Democrats
had taken their proper place with the
Republicans, the Democratic Demo
Gratis held together regardless of all
external pressure from sections thai
demanded special privilege and IRON
interests that demanded special priv
ileges. There is no Gorman-Smitf
scandal to blast the reputation OF TN
party and give the lie to the verdlc
at the polls. There is no tariff bill
that a Democratic President is CON
PEELED to denounce as party pertd
and dishonor."

tive of going to Jail for a given time

an easy way of disposing of embryonic
criminals, who would If detained, in
nine cases out of 10 become charges of

In some instances hardened crimi-
nails have been disposed of in this way.
1t is much easier to consign trouble
some boy to the navy, where he is vir-
tually imprisoned on board ship for
three years, than to be repeatedly deal

nile courts.
For many years officers of the navy
have protested against this Gus

However, protests have been of bu
small avail and magistrates continu
to relieve their communities OF oble'

them to the navy.
The United States navy may be
excellent reform school, but this
not its real purpose. Any thought

this work would not have been accom-
plished without the leadership Of Pres
ident Wilson. He has weathered the
decisive test of President and can
lay before the country the conclusive
proof that he has a united working
party back of him. This is something
that Mr.. Cleveland could never do. 1t
is something that no Democratic Pres
ident since Jackson has been able to
do. And Mr.. Wilson has done 1t with
out threats or intimidations or bluster
and without bribes of patronage. His
victory is the victory Of an unwaver-
ing appeal to principle, fortified by
honesty, intelligence and sincerity.

JUDGE WARNS
DIVORCE COUPLE
NOT To SPEAK

Erie, Pa, Dec. 3.-"If either of you
speak to the other before the February
term of court opens, l will find law
that will send .7ou both to the peni-
Tertiary, and if there is no such law,

This declaration was made by Judge
Emory A. Walling to Elwood Smith, 81
artist, and his divorced wife, now Mr..
Phillip Diefenbach, wife of an Ere
merchant. Smith was charged by Mrs.
Diefenbach with making threats. 1t
is alleged he told Mrs. Diefenbach he
would cut off her hair if she did not
return to him.
The woman divorced Smith in June,
1913, and married Diefenbach the same
month. Smith denied the charges an i
asserted that he was divorced illegally.
He told the court that Mrs. Diefenbach
has been following him about, writing
him letters and giving him dainty food,
besides other things. He produced the
letters and said they were all written
since the woman married Diefenbacn.
Il think you are very foolish W.

ceedings until the February term.

monstrated, at Grant Park.
The pretty lion cubs which two
months ago were safe pets for hui

on the floor, are becoming dangerous,
and will soon be more than a match
for the strongest grown man. Their
claws and teeth are growing, and
their Jungle instincts are beginning 70
be aroused.
The former milk diet has been re-
placed by small scraps of meat, which
they grab raevnously with their little
paws and tear and snarl over for ali
the world like their full grown par
ents.
Grant Park has been particularly
successful in raising these cubs, which
will be worth several thousand dollars
each in short while.

rRorrlNe ON THE ICE.
Several Trainers Looking to Malone
 Meet.


 Racing on the ice has attracted an unusually large number of trainers who live in the states and who gem erally give their horses a letup during the cold months. Having made such famous horses as Angus Pointer. The Eel. Hal B.. Jr-, Joe Patchen IT.. Grand Opera, Grattan Royal, Merry Widow and many others by racing them win ter and summer and never letting their muscles soften Canadians seem to have a system of training horses that is effective. Probably 1t Is for this reason that some of the newcomers will try the winter sport across the border. There are a. number of train CTS Hooking to Malone, N. Y, where a meeting will be given early in January Reports from the New York track state that the banner Ice meet seems assured.
 William Donahue, who drove Ross B. until that trotter was sold to J. R. McCUne of Pittsburg. is at Malone, having shipped from Rockport the green trotter Axme and Wolgast, 2.19 1-4 Percy Burnham also shipped from Rockport the pacer Alemet, 2.13 1-4, and Sir William, 225 1-2. In Elem ings string are Laura Pitch, 213 IA, Lucy Patchen, 2.15 IA, and Direct Near, 211 1-4 After the meeting at Malone trainers will ship to Canada. Charley Prue of North Randall, O., and Bob Bever expect to race Fat Logan, Thistle Doune farms pacing stallion, and Gillette. four year old trotter by Todd, owned by H. K.

 Among the trainers already in Can ada awaiting the opening of the ice circuit are Nat Ray, the former stee- plechase jockey; James Dempier, J. Kellar, Brusie, Mcdowell, Mcbride, Spencer, Bever and others. Perhaps there will be fewer stars than usual in competition across the border this sea- son, but there seems an unusually large number of young horses being prepared for the ice sport.

Childish Beliefs

Yes, children believe plenty of queer things. I suppose all of you have had the pocketbook fever when you were little. What do I mean? Why, tipping up old pocketbooks in the firm belief that bank bills to an i'm mense amount were hidden in them. So, too, you must all remember some splendid unfulfilled promise of some body or other, which fed you with hopes perhaps for years, and which left blank in your life which noth- ing has ever filled up.-Holmes.
