Rifle Wounds.

Wounding al enemy in war is bet
ter than killing him, for unless he
is captured it imposes on his side
the burden of taking care OF him.
The Balkan war proved that the bull
let of the modern h~igh-power rife with
its terrific speed will go straight
through a man, penetrating the most
vital organs. without killing him; and
1t has been found to go through nom
four to six men, one behind the 9TH
er. This puts them out Of the fight,
but at the same time 1t is a good
thing for the fighter. for it gives him
a far better chance for his life

CEASE AIDING rRAvELERs7

The Wv. C. A. has been conduct
ing a Travellers Aid association for
long time past and it has proved a
yerv worthy project. It's main object
and intent was to see that girls who
arrive at or leave the railway stations
Of Ottumwa were properly cared LOT
and directed. The Travellers Ala
made it possible for young ladies' ana
children, too, for that matter, to enter
and leave Ottumwa with less Hkel'
hood Of coming to any harm.
Conducting the association, however
has been q financial strain. The Y. w.
C. A. has been put to an annual ex,
nense of about $500 by reason OF II
and the time has come when the mon
~ ia no longer, available II " were,
the associations would d0ubtless con
time to do its good work without
much publicity being given II. Under
the circumstances, however, the asso'
citation has decided to appeal to the
public for aid. 1t has given aid and
Il now deserves assistance. The $ooU
must be raised by public subscripuon
n the Y. w. c. A.. is to continue lts

tions in any amount Will be receives %
BY the secretary of the association. II
the city or some society cares 70 as
anne part of the burden, the 7. W. y.
a. will be glad to share the field ano
cooperate in carrying on the work.
Il is sincerely to be hoped that the
Travellers, aid society will not be al
lowed to drop by the wayside Tor the
lack Of $500.

PERSONAL LIBERTY.

In a recent decision, Judge Seabury.
Of the New York Supreme court, made
the following remarks on the meaning
of the word liberty"
Liberty is word with a double
meaning. In negative sense it means
freedom from restraint In positive
sense It secures freedom by the i'm.
position Of restraint. It Is in this pos
tive sense that the state, IN the exer-
else Of It's pclics and general welfare
powers, promotes the freedom Of all
by the imposition Of such restraints
upon some as are deemed necessary
to secure the general welfare.

E1EerRADE THEORIES FAIL.

Taking the April trade statement as
J. hasis for. his remarks, Senator Smoot
~ Utah. addressed the senate on
Wednesday on the evil effects OF the
democratic low tariff act. In the
month named the decrease OF mer-
chandise exports and increase OF I'M
norts amounted to nearly $64OOO,O0O
which represents the loss to the Ameri-
can business world in single month.
The new tariff act has not been IN
force year and the business men OIL
this country are only beginning TO ieel
the effect of the reduction IN dutles'
but a continuation OF the losses IN
Cured in April would amount IN year
TO over 37O0,000,0OO.
Labor as we'll as the manufacturers
feel the bad effect Of the low tariff. TO
proye this point Senator William Al
den Smith points out that IN SIX
months the 1mportations OF raw ma
terials have fallen of $5O,0oO,0O0 and
in the same period the value OF man
ufactured articles exported decreased
441 900 900. Inability of American
manufacturers to continue their pro-
duction at the pace established under
the Payne-Aldrich law has caused a
loss to wage-earners in this country
which is estimated to reach $S,OOO,OOO
per month.
Subsequent trade statements will
demonstrate that the figures submit
ted for April are not exceptional. When
times are prosperous in the United
states and the American manufacture
ers are able to keep their plants oper-
ating steadily and lat capacity export
business thrives. by turning out a
large product the manufacturers are
able to minimize the cost and to meet
all competitors in the markets Of the
world. The democratic theory that
s-ee raw materials will act as stimu-
lus to manufacturing and will increase
exports Of finished products fails when
put to practical test.-Philadelphia
