The Perfect Day.
From the Pittsburgh Gazette-Timcs.

From the Pittsburgh Gazette-T1mcs.
There is a pretty little sentimental
song which begins with the words.
when you come to the end Of a
perfect day" It relates to true
friendship and to an unforgettable In
cident. and it suggests that perfect
days are rare in human experience.
Perhaps they are For perfect days

Of these are beyond the control Of the
individual You cannot produce a per-
feet day at will any more than you can
summon perfect weather to suit your
convenience.
The hasty conception Of perfect
day would be such q one as falls out
to be entirely to your liking in every
respect. That requires a combination
Of circumstances which is exceptional.
You might set forth in the morning
with the determination that, in re-
spect to your own actions and affairs
and your power over them, the day
should be perfect, but in an hour or
two external influences might inter

Get Rich Slowly.
From the Duluth Herald.


The American Bankers Association,
through It's savings bank section, is
circulating some facts that the Herald
Is very glad to pass along, because
they emphasize and enforce the strength
and possibilities of personal thrift.
1t Is no "get-rich-quick" scheme the
bankers offer. But If any experience
in life is proved, it Is that "get-rich-
quick" schemes do not work. They
work just often enough to prove the
rule, and to prove the companion rule
that nothing is appreciated, nothing
does any good, that is not worked for
and earned. Riches gained quickly are
lost quickly.
The plan proposed by the bankers is
based on this proposition: That If a
man earning $40 a week saves IS a
week he can double his income by the
end of twenty years; and. Of course, he
will be increasing it all the time.

SOON TO CLEAR SITE
FOR OFFICE BUILDING
Structures on Square East Of Mu-
nicipal Building to Be
Raced.

Tho razing of tho buildings which now
occupy tho west half Of the block bound
ed by 18th and 1s1s streets, D and e
streets northwest is to be started in a
few days In order to get the ground in
readiness for the huge office building to
be erected on the property by the Federal
City Construction Compay for use by the
Southern railway, according to state
ment made today by Frank P. Milburn.
Deeds transferring the ownership Of the
property to the company probably will
be placed on record within the next few
days, he said
About three weeks will be taken to
clean off the property, it is estimated.
The work is to be done under the super
vision of James L. Marshall, contractor,
who is to build the new structure.
Mr. Milburn said that the erection OF
the building is to be rushed. as the con-
tract with the railway company calls for
its completion by February next. Already
several of the contracts for material
have been awarded. The American
Bridge Company is to supply and deliver
the steel girders for the frame.

Baronets.
Prom the London Chronicle.

The title of baronet, Of which Sir
Edgar Speyer has expressed a desire
to be Invested. first came into exist
ence during this very month Of May,
and was created, but not invented by
our British Solomon" It was to King
James frequently in the financial
morass Of Mr.. Micawber, that the Earl
Of Salisbury suggested a scheme
whereby 200 gentlemen might be per-
suaded to pay $1,000 each for the honor
of being styled baronets. or petty
barons To the kings objection that
such a step might give ofrense to the
general bodyof the gentry" the Gym
ical Salisbury replied: Sire, you want
the money, which will do you good,
while the honor will do the gentry very
little harm" This cogent argument
convinced the king. and the old chiv-
alrous order of knighthood was super
seeded by the new order Of pseudo
baron.

OF COURSE 1T is A NECESSITY

From the Wilkes Barre Record.l
The philadelphia Evening Bulletin
states the case plainly. The tariff must
be revised according to a plan that will
take care of American industry in years
to come We quote from that news
paper:
An intimate and familiar example
for Philadelphia is in the hosiery and
Knit goods industry, the local plants or
winch are now enjoying a rush of or
ders to meet the demands of local trade
Every manufacturer and every buyer in
the trade knows, however, that this
lists only because the great factories of
Northern France and Belgium, which,
under ordinary conditions, ship their
prices with which the American manu-
facturer paying the American standard
of wages and subject to American
labor laws, cannot compete, are out of
commission on account Of the war. And
1t is an equally simple matter of ap-
probation that when the war is over
which will not be difficult because
the actual Industrial destruction has
been comparatively small-these goods
will again pour into the United States
and take away the demand for home
| labor.
The knit goods industry is but one
The glass. industry is another The
prospective dye. Industry and other de-
velopment of coal-tar products, an
other. And the list might be continued
at great length. Nothing but pro-
| tective tariff barrier can avert such an
| invasion of foreign products, and 1t is
none too early to emphasize that fact
! in anticipation of the next campaign
| for the election of a President and
| Congress, and even as an indirect con-
! sideration of importance in earlier
campaigns. Whether the war shall end
this year or next, the interest of Ameri-
| can industry must be the keynote OF
! the next campaign.
If our Democratic friends attempt to
| delude the people with the argument
| that returning prosperity is due to the
! excellent working of the present tariff
system, by itself considered, they will
| run up against the common sense judg-
ment of the people. Every person who
| is capable of observing the course OF
| events must know that present condi-
| tions are temporary-that they are de-
| pendent upon the stagnation of foreign
| industry. If 1t were not so, why were
there Indications of a turn for the bet
ter soon after the war broke out, and
| why did the nation suffer so serious a
/ period of depression soon after the new
| tariff was enacted. when before it en-
joyed full and plenty compared only
| with the best times we have had in q
generation? There is reason, and the
reason is not difficult to find out. We
| do not need a tariff of the old kind
protection sky-high and all Inclusive
| But we do need a tariff different from
| the kind we now have,
