ratified February 26, 1904, or other
wise, to discriminate in favor of its
vessels by exempting the vessels of
the United States or its citizens from
the payment of tolls or passage thru
said canal"
Now that the repeal has been ac-
complished, the Philadelphia North
American does not believe it has Won
the friendship of Great Britain or
increased our prestige abroad. II 1t
has destroyed the horrid project OF
a ship subsidy" then "it has at the
same time conferred an equal subsidy
upon the transcontinental railroads,
which will collect from the public in
freight every dollar paid by American
coastwise cargoes through the Amer
lean canal" The surrender" has &C.
complished these things, continues
this plain-spoken progressive daily: it
has made notorious" the "fabby fu-
tility" of the administrations foreign
policy; it has revealed the democratic
party as a breaker Of pledges; and
the presidents plea has wounded the
national spirit by putting upon the
nation the stigma of having attempted
to wrong a friendly government"
So,,o of thoca nowcpop arc hint at
political retribution to come upon the
president. And it is remarkable to
find a friend of the repeal proposition
declaring that while gaining his point,
he has lost prestige. 1t is greatly
shaken asserts the Buffalo News
(rep.), since many find that they can
make open fight against him and still
retain their party standing" .
But against this may be quoted the
host of papers which look upon the
passage of the repeal act as the great
est victory as yet achieved by the
president, and one which in itself will
insure his place in our history. Nor
are these tributes confined to the
democratic press, for the independent
Boston Christian Science Monitor,
New York Times, Globe, and Evening
Post, the Independently republican
Philadelphia Public Ledger and Cleve,
land Leader, and the progressive Den
yer Rocky Mountain News, and Kan
sas City Times, are as insistent upon
the point as such pillars of democracy
as the New York World and Louis
vile Courier-Journal. Then, too, as
the vote in both house and senate ran
athwart party lines, so we find papers
of all political faiths rejoicing in the
outcome.
Thus ends in success President Will,
sons three months fight for the with,
drawal of our tolls-exemption policy

REGRETTED Lost Time.

French convicts may earn large in
comes. The following is a case in
point: Pere la Capinette murdered a
man in a jealous passion a quarter of
a century ego, and was sent to New
Caledonia. A commission was recent
ly sent out to inspect the convict
prison and inquire into the government
lands that are allotted to convicts who
are released for good conduct. They
found Pere la Capinette, white-haired,
benevolent and venerable with his
seventy years, surrounded by his sons,
whom he had brought from France.
He showed the commissioners over the
coffee plantation on which he had set
tied after his release. Il am making
$4,000 a year now" he explained, and
then he added, with a sigh, If only
had committed my murder 20 years
earlier l should have been a million
aire now"

FAT MAN FOR THE BARBER
Wielder of the Razor Declares 1t
Takes Longer to Shave the Thin
Individual.

rs it easier to shave a fat man than
a thin one?" Don't be afraid to ask
your barber this question. He will con-
slider it a perfectly legitimate query,
and nine times out of ten will answer
in favor of the fat man.
A barber who has been lathering and
shaving faces of all types for the last
20 years said recently: Il would rather
shave fat man than thin one any
day. Of course, I haven't any choos-
ing. l have to take them all as they
come. But a stout mans face is fuller,
and therefore it is easier to pass over
with the razor. A barber has to be
more careful in shaving the man with
thin face. 1t is harder proposition,
and 1t seems, somehow or another, that
his beard becomes stronger than the
fat mans.
People who are in hurry often
leave the shop when they see a fat
man get in the chair in front of them.
They think that it will be long job,
while, on the contrary, it doesn't take
as long to shave him as it would thin
man."
The barber who shaved Little Will
lie" Philadelphia's latest fat man,
who weight 455 pounds, never COM
planned about the job, and moreover
never charged him any more than
any other ustomer-PhiIadelp
Ledger.

a movement would have terminated differently
under any circumstances.
From the time the ranger organization
first established its members have been picked
men, proved experts in workmanship at home in
the saddle and absolutely fearless in the face of
any danger. In addition, they required to
be of good moral character, which means that
they do not drink, or gamble. The most of them
were formerly cowboys, and when they leave the
ranger service they usually return to the ranch.
THE way l did," said Capt. Bill" Mcdonald,
who saw many years in the service, was to look
into mans eye, and I could tell in minute if
he had the right stuff in him to make a good
ranger. I never got fooled, either"
There are some folks continued the captain,
who think that because the boys are always
- ready to fight like bunch of wildcats they must
be reckless, rowdy set of But they are
wrong. The rangers are just naturally as peace
full and Godfearing men as you'll find anywhere.
There's Capt John R. Hughes, for instance He's
been a ranger for nearly thirty years. and he's
killed lot of men, but he's great Sunday school
worker few months ago he ordered from
his station, Ysleta, where he superintendent
of the Sunday school, to put down the bootlegging
that was going in that part Of the Panhandle
region and the children of the town made big
fuss to the governor about moving his headquar-
tiers away
1t may be remarked of Captain Mcdonald him
