Gov. Foss and the Tariff.

GOV. Foss, accused of flirting with the
republicans of Massachusetts, for their
gubernatorial nomination this year, Is
being twittted by his opponents with as
surances as to his democracy given by
his friends at Baltimore last year. He
was sponsored as true blue. Let the
democratic party nominate him for Pres
ident. and he would sweep the deck.
The main emphasis was laid on the tar
iff. Here was a man who not only under
stood but had a record on the subject.
He had come over to the party as tar
if reformer, and brought other republic
ans out of the house Of protection bond
age with him. Make him the democratic
candidate for President, and what had
taken place in Massachusetts would take
place all over the country.
1t is to be remembered, however. that
all then said in behalf of Gov. Foss was
being said in behalf Of his rivals before
the convention. The proposition was that
the tariff could be revised downward
without injury to single American in
dustry, and that such should be the char
acter of the legislation il the country
would intrust the task to the democratic
party.
Mr.. wilson was pieOSeO as Oetply DIS
others, and later, as the nominee. pledged
himself in the plainest terms. If elected
he would recommend no policies that
would cripple or destroy legitimate bust
ness of any kind. Let the business in
terests trust him.
Gov. Foss objects to the Underwood
bill, largely shaped by Mr.. Wilson. be-
cause, as he contends. 1t will cripple
some lines Of business and destroy other
lines. 1t is not a fair redemption of the
tariff promises of the Baltimore platform,
or Of those Of the candidate who stood
on it. In other words, it is not such q
bill as he would have advised or signed
had he been the leader in last years
democratic triumph.
II greater and more sensational issues
do not arise, the tariff issue should cut
most interesting figure in Massachu-
sets this year, whether Gov. Foss stands
for reelection as democrat or republican,
or stands at all. And as Massachusetts
goes, the whole of New England may be
more or less affected in next years con-
gressional elections For a long time
New England ADs pinned its faith to pro-
lection, -! enjoyed a business develop
msDS A.scribed to that policy. Naturally,
tAs Underwood revision is being closely
scrutinized throughout that section.

National Automobile Highway
Post-Intelligencer

From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
The ambitious project initiated by a
number of automobile manufacturers OF
Indiana for great national highway
from coast to coast is much closer to
actual realization than most people re-
alize. A delegation Of these manu-
facturers is now making a tour Of the
sections OF country to be traversed by
the proposed national highway, interest
ing the communities in the project. and
it is reported that they have succeeded
in securing so far pledges of nearly
one-half the whole amount required for
the construction Of the highway.

The Presidents Latest Order.

The President insists that he means it
There must be no recess of Congress
until November After the tariff bill has
been disposed of by the Senate. the cur
rency bill must be Immediately taken up
The wood is supposed to have the bark
on.
Simon having spoken, the democratic
senators wigwag. So be It, is their reply,
made in caucus. They wip obey, and
remain until the snow fiia4vs 1T is an
nounced, in an effort to obSv the order
received.
Well. II there Is no BLUR In the maneu-
yer, and the winter season this year Is
not unusually late, the snow is likely to
fly before the Senate votes on a currency
bill. 1t is not at present giving thought
to the currency question in detail, and
will not have time TO do SO until the
tariff bill is out of the way.
And, let Ii be noted, the tariff bill is
still very much in the way. Nothing but
talk so far has marked the proceedings.
No votes Of great consequence have been
taken Democratic control holds by a
thread Death has entered the arena,
and may enter again. There are few
kids in the chamber, and men of adj
vanced years cannot be severely taxed
with safety.
Senators and representatives and polit-
clans out of office have been under a
long and hard strain. Last years presi-
Dental campaign brought everybody into
action, and the result stirred the victors
profoundly. month later Congress as
sembled, and with only a month interven-
ing the new Congress followed the old
in session For a full twelve months,
therefore, the majority of national serv-
ants now in office have been almost con-
tinuously at work. and IL there is no con-
gressional recess in the autumn another
twelve months will be added to the
score.
The democratic party did not come into
power pledged to currency reform as to
tariff reform. That is to say, it did not
promise that the former should follow
the latter neutrality-suspicious. 1t.
Tariff reform, it was generally under
stood, would be the subject of prompt
discussion, and experienced legislators
thought it would be quite enough for
Congress to accomplish at the special
session. And many of them are Of the
same opinion still. notwithstanding their
acquiescence in the presidential program.

Grade Crossing Killings.
From the Newark Star,

The records Of the National High
ways Association show that for the
no less than twenty eight persons were
killed at grade crossings in New Jer-
sey and twenty-nine were seriously In
Jured. For the same period last year
the deaths were thirty-five and the in
jured twenty. nine. As no grade cross
ings were abolished last year or this
year the reduction in the number OF
people killed outright may be attributed
to the greater caution of the travelling
public. In state thickly strewn with
death turks at frequent intervals the
citizen must stop. look and listen many
times to avoid slaughter, and even then
he is liable at any time to be mangled
by railroad train.

Next-Senator Blease.

Gov. Blease of South Carolina has
resolved the senatorial situation in
that state to simple terms by declaring
in a just-published letter that he will
be the next senator if he lives and
keeps his health. At last reports he
was in vigorous condition, with no
suggestion of latent disease Of body.
and there is the best possible outlook
that on this basis the gentle-spirited,
conservative, modest man who now
holds the reins of authority at CO.

the expiration of the latter's term on
the 4th of March. spl5. Washington

do these political acrobats perform up
TO their billboard proclamations when
they get into the senatorial arena. So
often has this occurred that the sus-
picion has been bred that the ground
and lofty tumblings engaged in at
state capitals are solely for the pur-
pose of landing the performers under
the big tent at Washington. and hav-
ing accomplished that purpose, these
feats and specialties are abandoned as
of no further value. Blease is today
the best advertised southern governor
and he is playing his part very shrewd-
~ TO keep constantly in the headlines
and. reckoning in terms of other po-
litical successes, there is no reason
TO doubt his own prediction that he
will be the next citizen Of the Palmett,

dent and take the oath of Office, and
this without any depreciation OF tn,
virtues and merits of the senator
whose seat he has thus confidently
pre-empted.

Root Trouble in Mexico.
From the Outlook.

The root trouble in Mexico is that there
Is no Mexican people In the sense In
which there Is an American people. Long
submission to dictatorship under the
name Of q republic has left the country

ment. The best that can be hoped is
union OF the better-disposed leaders in
the choice of some fair-minded presiden.

welfare to personal ambition.

The voices Of men to great eloquence

OF the bird which has only voice and

And feelingly chirped, do you never

bird said,
Il remain till the roses their petals have
shed.
But time comes at last in my toll or

When I feel it my duty to be on my

And the crickets and frogs In the light
Of the moon
With pathos persistent repeated in turn
Again and again. DO you never adj

A woman,s Brain and Intellect.

Are women less intellectual because
they have smaller brains than men?
It does not follow at all. The brain
has a great deal of work to do that
hears no relation to the intellect. 1t
controls all our movements, keeps the
vital organs in operation, receives all
the millions of sensations we are con-
stantly experiencing, etc.
It's size must therefore be proper
tional to that of the body. As a mat
ter of fact, tall men have larger
brains than small men without any
corresponding excess of intellect; and
the smaller female body, of course,
calls for less physical brain energy
and therefore does not require so
large brain.
In quality woman's brain is quite
equal to that of a man, and time
may come when that part of the brain
devoted to mental functions will be
larger in women than in men. Any
how. she starts out in life with brain
matter weighing one and one-haif
ounces more than that of the male
child. Quite possibly she has only to
use It as man does to surpass him in
mental power.-London Daily Mail.

MADE WITH RHUBARB
SUGGESTION THAT WILL I'M
PROVE PIES AND TARTS.
Use No Water in the Preparation of
the PIant-cobbIer Special Lunch
con Dish That Has Few
Superiors.

Rhubarb is one of the springs bless
ings. It's list of health-giving POSSIBLE
tiles is almost endless, and it's advo-
Gates as the giver of beauty are num-
bered by scores.
Pies and tarts of rhubarb are old fa-
yorites. There is a. good deal of diff
Guilty experienced in making them be-
cause of the fact that rhubarb is gen.
orally so juicy that it soaks the under
crust. To lessen the amount of juice
do not use any water in the prepara-
ton of the rhubarb. Cut the stalks,
after they are washed, dried and skin
ned, in half-inch lengths, cover them
with sugar and put them in the crust.
There can be two crusts, or the top
of the pie can be barred with pastry.
When making rhubarb tarts prepare
the rhubarb with the crusts separate
ly. Bake crisp crusts in muffin rings.
Wash, dry and skin rhubarb stalks, cut
them into pieces and stew them slow
ly until perfectly tender with very
little water. Add sugar when they are
taken from the stove, while they are
still hot Chill the rhubarb and at
the last minute put it into the crusts.
Rhubarb cobbler, made without an
under crust, of course, Is delicious
luncheon dish for the devotee of rhu-
barb. To make it prepare batter OF
cupful of sour milk a half teaspoon
full of soda dissolved in little cold
water added to the milk, tablespoon
full of butter and enough flour to make
a medium batter. Put rhubarb, cut
in short lengths, In pudding dish
and sugar it generously. Then pour
over it the batter. Bake il in mod
crate oven. Serve it hot with boiled
custard or sugar and cream.
Rhubarb pudding, which is a IA
vorite with children, is made on the
order of apple brown betty. To make
it cut the rhubarb in pieces, put
layer of it in pudding dish, cover 1t
with sugar and then put layer OF
bread and butter Alternate layers of
fruit and bread until the dish is done
Cover it and bake it half an hour, re-
move the cover and bake ten minutes
longer. Serve with hot sauce Of any
desired flavor.
