A Wrong Point Of Attack

Senator Thornton Louisiana is properly rep resentng his constituency in opposing free sugar. he doing it consistently when he declares that he is only adherent democratic rrinci- pIe4 among his colleagues on the majority side of the senate. If there IS one democratic doctrine prominent than another, 1t is that of tariff for rel only and, logically trade. there no need revenue. The course of the democratic party Cuheu has been of po1verD for the last halr of a century has been 2 complete disavowal of protection in any form. q disregard of American industries.
 But, in power. the democratic party has been consistent It not in framing the Will bill twenty years and when the republ- cans been in control. democratic congressman have hesatcd seek for their constituents. the privileges which were being extended special interests and monopoly. In the present bill there is same lack of consistency Most southern in- dustries have been favored and that the sugar planters Of the south have not been. at tribute only the activities of the powerful sugar
 
 The Baltimore platform more nearly than any previous party declaration recognition of the doctrine of protection pledged the party to a revision the tariff would not be damag- ing to any American industry. protective tariff should nothing more than guaranty against damage American industries
 That free sugar will be damaging to the sugar industry is apparent. In many localities it will be destructive Senator Thornton might charge his colleagues with q violation of recent party pledge but he cannot them of a departure from cent principles He might point out to them the uselessncss of free sugar; that nobody will be served by it except the refners, but he can not attack it upon the ground he has chosen.

Allow me to suggest that rather too much re- gard is shown Greasy and his so-caucd fifteen decisive battles. In the first place. more than about half the battles he enumerates Were de cisiVe in the sense of having any permanent infu- ence on world history. Moreover his statements often very mjslel ldimg.
 Look, for instance, at Waterloo. with which Q should have been reasonably familiar. he wrote nearly forty years after the battle. is quite universally conceded that Waterloo was not q csiyc factor in world history. Had Napoleon won decisively there he would have been defeated soon after b2 the huge armies hurrying forward Russia and Austria. and in fact every portion of Europe
 Besides France weak both and money to endure a prolonged Russian campaign destroyed Napoleon. The battle Leipsic might fttrngly be regarded the beginning of the end his power.
 Creasy's story of Waterloo is wretchedIy dull and shamefully miseading He specifically denies that the iru@sians had aught do with the result of the battle, vet at the time well known that the Prussans began to participate n the battle before o'clock. and that by n evening than 10000 Prussians were engaged Waterloo. The French army 7OO00 had to fight at one time or another during the after noon allied armies aggreSating 1&0000.

MAKES GOOD OBJECT LESSON
Cleveland School Children, Taught to
Take Care Of Their Desks, Lear,
=. Respect for Property.

Through cultivation among public
school pupils Of respect for public
property and desire to protect it.,
school officials are blazing the way to
the elimination of graft" and the mis-
use of public funds, J. M. H. Frederick,
school superintendent, told members
of the Cleveland Fellowcraft club at
q luncheon recently. ~ Til.
This end is to be attained, according
to Mr.. Frederick, by the teaching Of
local patriotism in the schools. Local
patriotism is not study, it was ex-
planned, but the development of de-
sire in each boy and girl to protect
and care for school property intrusted
tc them j.. :. - &es::z: y
Patriotism begins at home" said
Mr.. Frederick, "and with a child in
school, it begins with his desk. The
child who marks, mars or carves his
desk is not good citizen. II !. :.
Pupils are taught that the marring
of desk impairs it's usefulness and
that after time it must be thrown
away and new desk purchased. They
are taught that desks and other school
property are paid for from funds de-
rived from taxation. Their parents pay
the taxes. Therefore, by preserving
school property, they are saving their
fathers and mothers from unnecessary
axDense."r H. IS. e. = :.

COMING CHANGE IN CLOCKS
Aerial Waves, Instead Of Springs, a.
at Present, May Move Hands
on Dial.

The coming use of wireless teleg.
raphy in time regulation is giving the
clockmakers of England much to
speculate about at the present time,
remarks the New York Evening Post.
Some of them profess to see COM
Ing age Of voorhees, clocks that Is to
succeed this clockwork age, the one
we live in. That is to say, instead OF
each clock trying In it's own small
way to keep exact step to the march
Of the minute by means of it's own lit
tie paraphernalia in pendulum, spring
and cog wheel, there will exist sys-
tenn of master clocks, one in every
great center, taking the time from
Greenwich observatory, minute by
minute, through wireless antennae,
and in turn passing it on to the com:
munity of neighboring clocks by other
electric apparatus.
This sounds almost as Jules Verne
like as leaving word with Greenwich
observatory to call one at $50 o'clock.
The immediate question is rather that
Of the extent to which spark sent
out to all points simultaneously would
benefit the keepers of accurate time.
II it were worth while, a student OF
the subject says. it would be perfectly
feasible to regulate any number OF
clocks within the wireless radius by
means of halfminute spark impulses.
An English clockmaker has already
carried out the scheme on a. small
scale in his own home. All the clocks
in the house Of F. o. Read of CHS
wick are run by sparks from master
clock. The responding clocks should
rather be; called indicators, for they
are nothing but dials and hands
moved by one wheel, which Ia; actuat-
ed by the spark impulses.

Set New Idea in BUILDING.

foundation construction, entered the
employ Of builder at the age of four

line of work. He stopped designing
and building to serve in the Civil
war, but has suffered no interruption
since At one time he went to Eng

perv1sing architect of Trinity college,
The caisson idea came to him while
erecting building in New York.
Treacherous sands were encountered,
compelling him to seek a new method
for excavating for the foundation. His
career has been marked by original
ity, and he has overcome many obsta-
