Defends Brysn's Absence.

When it was suggested to Joseph
Quincy, of Boston, who Is at the Bel
Ilevue. for a day or two, that his expe-
lrience as assistant secretary Of state
tunder the second Cleveland admins
ftration might qualify him to comment
Ion the recent criticism of the secretary
iof state, he said:
"One would suppose from some Of
the criticisms that the business of the
lstate department would come to a
,standstill when the secretary is out OF
washington. OF course, the fact is
that only large questions of policy re-
lquire the personal attention Of the Sec
iretary, and these questions are neces-
fsarily settled by the president, as the
ihead of the government, after consul
ttation with the secretary. With the
secretary in easy reach of or communi-
ication with the department, no lmpor-
liant diplomatic business need be de-
layed because he is not physically pres

Wool Growers Not Hurt

Sheep owners should not be alarmed
over the report that Australian ennis
.sar,es are here looking over the COM
mercial possibilities and especially
congratu!ating themselves on the pros
poets of selling more wool here after
the duty shall be removed. More wool
.en clothing is needed in this climate
than the people have Of late years been
able to afford, and if woolen goods are
cheaper more Of them will be worn.
AS to prices, there are many varieties
of wool and many Of garments, and in
producing the latter there are great
advantages in mixtures of the former.
Australian wool is largely imported for
mixing with domestic, and the effect OF
removing the duty from foreign wool
may be to increase the demand for the
domestic.

President Is In the Right.

President Wilson is not the man to
ilet his better judgment be swayed by,
those who seek army contracts or by
the amiable patriots who would have
American arms invade Mexico in order
THAT they may reap fortunes from the
isaIe of wildcat securities issued
against Mexican prospects.
He will take no action toward Mex
leo, except such as he knows to be
fright, after careful discussion of the
asituation with his cabinet.
In whatever course he may pursue,
,,right-thinking people of the United
Estates, remembering the scurrilous
fconspiracy against Mckinley, will sup
sport President Wilson steadfastly un-

MO CAUSE FOR ALARM
Tariff Changes viii Little Dis.
i turb Business Conditions.
Producing Interests Of the Nation Can
! Quickly Adjust Themselves to tho
New ccnditions-Nothlne to
Justify Panic.

Debate is the order In the senate on
the underwood-S tariff bill.
Ncr the first time In our history g tar
hR bill comes from the senate finance
,committee with rates hover than when
the bill passed the house. The senate
Hnance committee has made many re-
auctions end adjustments. It has
transferred pig iron, tngots, and steel
trails to the free list; it has adjusted
tho duties on the cereals; It hss COT
irected errors In the cotton schedule.
tOne may disagree with some of the
features Of the senate bill, but he will
thnve to admit that It is an honest care
iful effort to revise the tarif.
Political prophets TO the contrary
notwithstanding. there. is absolutely
nothing in the bill to justify any panic
Ralk. The country, it is true, Is nerv-
lous, as Is usual on the eve Of tariff leg
isiation, but our economic condition
lis sound. No parallel can be drawn
between the situation now and that OF
1898 and 1894. The Underwood-Slm-
mons bill is in no sense free-trade
measure. If the producing interests
+of the nation will keep their courage
Sand face the new situation with de-
termination, they will quickly adjust
themselves to new conditions. These
being the facts, senators should choose
their words in debate with care. Crit
iicisms Of the senate bill are not only
mot Objectionable, but desirable. The
hill can be improved in many places
Iby amendment Infammatory speech
les, however, should be frowned on and
condemned. Politicians who prophecy
destruction do more to fulfill their
prophecy than their opponents. The
psychological element in the tariff
problem is always large and today is
dominant Those in power who have
the public ear should calm rather than
further agitate the troubled waters OF
,our Industrial life.

Sir Teddy Drake, knight.
So must his name be writ in books of our
newer heraldry.
He did not enter the jousting lists to break
lance with mail clad challenger. He did not ride
forth to wrest the Holy Grail from the unspeak-
able, infidel Turk. He wears no sword as did
those old Crusaders.
Yet Sir Teddy Drake has won his spurs and
proved himself brave and chivalrous gentle
man.
I do not know what first inspired Sir Teddy
to take the Boy Scout oath. Perhaps it was be-
cause "all the fellows were joining" Maybe
he thought it would be fun.
He swore: ct will be friend to every living
creature, man or beast, and brother to every
other scout, fortunate or unfortunate, rich or
poor. I will be courteous to ALL
You must know that Sir Teddy Drake Is IA
years DID, and, in outward seeming, at least is
much like other boys of that ebulient age. That
is he likes to swim and play ball, and he is not
over-fond of school. He is stout-legged and a
bit freckled He does not in any way resemble
the knights of DID, and he has not yet reached
the age when he would give tinkers cuss about
winning the smile of "ladye faire'.
He is, you see, just an ordinary small boy, liv-
ing in a prosaic age with his parents at 1904 No.
