Great ExpeetatIons.

In certain family the wife never
could see things when they were under
her very nose, while the husband had
a positive genius for finding not only
his own put other peoples things
This gift seemed to have impressed
itself on the children, for one day his
three-year-old came rushing downstairs
to exclaim:
"oh. daddy, mothers lost some
thing; where is it,"

No cheeseparer.

The late George A. Hearn. the New
York millionaire art collector, was
noted for his generosity to his en-
ployes.
To a reporter who once congratu-
lated Mr.. Hearn on the high wages and
unusual comfort that his employees re-
ceived, Mr.. Hearn said:
II don't believe in cheeseparing
economy In the treatment of those
whose hard work makes a mans sue
cess. Cheeseparing economy. applied
in that way, seems to me as mean and
paltry as the Yonkers man.
"A Yonkers man was summoned
from his evening paper by his wife's
frightened cry:
George, come quick! The cook
has tried to kill herself inhaling gas!'
"'Good gracious!' growled George.
as he rushed to the kitchen, leaped
over the cooks PROSTATE form, and

The Democrats propose to issue Il
campaign handbook citing alleged
achievements of the party, In the
estimation OF the people, there are
flour achievements to be creditcd-0r
perhaps charged is the better word
to the party IN power. The first
achievement" is the Underwood
Ftarifr law. This law has closed
thousands of factories, reduced hours
IN others, set at idleness more than
a million men and brought stasna'
1ion to the business world. 1t does
not pretend to be protective meas
ure. More than that, President VIII
son, in his message of September q,
virtually ,conresses TO congress that
the Underwood law has failed in It's
primary purpose OF raising revenue
'for the government at time when
the country was at absolute peace.
Tic second achievement is the
banking and currency law. 1t has
.been on the statute books since De"
conbcr. 1918, but it is not yet in
operation. There are three possible
reasons for this. There is either
something wrong with the law, or
there is something wrong with those
who arc to administer it, or the ad-
ministration does not dare put II
into operation long before election
for fear it will be demonstrated as
big a failure as the Underwood tariff!
law.
The third achievement is the re-

Is The Republican press has been
quite .lenient with the national adj
Iministration in pointing out the in
idustrial paralysis caused by its. poll
cies butS.the time is certainly at
Ehala as ambition workmen now IN
idleness are crying out: ''Give. us

This cry does not mean that they
want government positions. II
means that they want work such rs
they had under Republican admins
trations.
It is pertinent. to call attention
at this time to the fact that there
We're very few tramps during Repub-
lican administrations. while tramps
are numerous today. Tie difference
along this line shows that something
is wrong. It is strongly suspected
that the following from the Coal
Mining Review succinctly tells; what
is wrong, although the Democratic
stump speakers and a blind partisan
press are trying not to believe it:
1T is reported on the best OF All
thortty that million idle men are
seeking employment in the United
States. Is this vast army OF idle
men satisfied they are out of en-
ployment on account Of some natural
cause, or have they been forced into
ddleness on account OF artificial
means created by the government?
Can American; Industries be kept iii
operation when the commodities of
other countries. produced by cheaper
labor cost, are permitted to come in
competition with those commodities
