Another peculiar thing noticed in
telephones at times Is phantom talk
heard in a receiver when one is walt
ing for central to give connection.
odd scraps of conversations may be
heard in this manner They are
probably due to conversations going
on over wires lying in close proxim-
ity to the one that you are using
such conversations causing small os-
cillating currents which, by the proc
ess of induction, cause small oscil-

Trousers-Shapely and of medium

Overcoats - Full and shaped, of

We have no fault to find with the
styles adopted. but why Is 1t neces-
sary to tack on some foreign names
to the clothing to be made for and
sold to the American people?
IL is an admitted fact that the de-
sign. make and style OF American
ready-to-wear garments lead the
world, and such being the case, why
should he advertise and popularize
English and French by English
moder' coats and French back"
overcoats? Why not American models
| right through, and let the growing
generation know that there is such a
word as American?
The foolish attempt to impress the
consumer with the names of foreign
countries is all wrong It would seem
sensible for the clothing designers,
whose word is final to contribute
toward the better knowledge of the
word American by eliminating the
use OF foreign names In making up
the designs for clothing for American
men and boys.

From The Springfield Republican.
The Kansas State Charter Board
has just Cancelled charters OF 1910
Kansas railroads, eleven foreign rail-
roads and 175 railway companies.
These were the charters of corpora
lions which laid no rails bought no
rolling stock and operated no trains.
Nearly three years ago the Charter
Board began its campaign OF
slaughter by canceling the charters
of 10000 extinct corporations. Last
year 1000 corporations were wiped
of the records. and now 1903 follow
them. This action represents good

war ana HlRn NhflHH
From The Philadelphia Record.
The domestic manufacturers Of
woolens very naturally expect the war
TO keep out Of the country some OF
the goods whose importation they
feared. The analogy of war and high
tariffs has been remarked on before.
II was what the manufacturers re-
garded as the misfortune of peace In
1915 which developed the first sys-
tematic and aggressive Protectionist
movement In this country. War had
cut off all foreign trade, and
peace restored competitive conditions,
wherefore there was a demand for a
protective tariff as the only prac-
ticable substitute for war. Our manu-
facturers have already found that
they were more frightened than hurt
last year; they had cut prices very
much more than was necessary, so
moderate had been the reduction OF
duties, and they have been gradually
getting their prices up ever since. But
unfortunately for our manufacturers.
80 per cent of the dyestuffs used here
are controlled by six German con-
Germs The domestic manufacturers
of dyes will have to increase their
output II the war should continue.

Washington, March 24.--Henry st.
George Tucker, of Lexington, Va, who
was presidentof the Jamestown Expo
isition, has resigned the craftsmanship
of "a commission appointed. by the
State DEPARTMENT last Jp m E.. to visit
Tokyo IN the interest Of thgS Pan Panama
Pacific Exposition:
Behind the resignation of Mr..
Tucker, which vas annplficed satur-
day by Esecretary Bryan, is 'saTa to be
an alarming report from Ambassador
Guthrie, strongly advising against the
visit Of Mr.. Tucker to Japan. In a
cipher message to Secretary Bryan a
month ago, the American Ambass4-
dor is said to have expressed the fear
that Mr. fuckers presence in Tokyo
woul5 lead to an .anti-American de-
monstration
Upon the receipt of Ambassador
Guthrie's warning, Secretary Bryan
is said, to have sent a letter to New
York recalling Mr.. Tucker, who was
about to sail for Japan. From semi
official sources it is learned that Secre-
tary Bryan informed Mr.. Tucker that
ne might be !"stoned by a mob" in
Tokyo.
$50 far as.I know" said Secretary
Bryan, "Mr. fuckers reasons for re-
signing are entirely personal. My
understanding, is that he would have
been willing to go if time had been
set for the departure Of the commits,
sion."
The Secretary of State offered no
| explanation as to why no date had
been set, for the departure of the
| commission, but it is an open secret In
diplomatic circles here that this gov,
eminent, in view of the intlamed pub
lie sentiment in. Japan over the Cal
