Watterson and Bryan.

There are two democrats who refuse
to illustrate the beauty and sweetness
of brethren dwelling together in unity.
Twenty years ago they differed on the
silver question, one leading the forces
of silver, the other holding off on the
score that he would not compromise with
what he characterized as dishonor.
Later, they differed on the drink traffic,
one declaring for prohibition, the other
declaring that no democrat could be a
prohibitionist.
The latest difference between the two
men grows out Of stumping by presi-
DENTAL candidate, one favoring it and
thereby indorsing his own personal rec
ord, the other frowning on it as some
thing undignifed and improper.
In the current Commoner Mr.. Bryan
says:
"The republican papers regarded cam
paign tours by q presidential candidate
as very undignifed twenty years ago
when Mr. Bryan went before the people.
It is, however, q perfectly dignified thing
now when an ex-Supreme Court justice
does it. Why this changes Possibly, it
is due to the fact that passes have been
abolished so that the railroads cannot
take excursions to the front porch as
they did in 1885,"
In q late issue Of the Louisville
Courier Journal Mr.. watterson says:
"The President is wise in abandoning
the purpose to make campaign tour
Of the country, II at any time he has

An Ideal of Bliss,

Upon the golden walk,
With nothin' much to think about

To cheer my words sublime
The waiting task, the fear or doubt,

reasons against it, chief Of which is
that, whilst propriety would seem to
interdict, no exigency requires it. The
precedents are dead against it. The
splendid speeches of Stephen A. Doug
las in 1860 did not make him votes
and the swing around the circle Of
James G. Blaine in 1884 lost him the
election. The President has
attorneys enough to talk for him and
need not stoop to plead his own case.
Let him from the portico of Shadow
Lawn give the country frank, states
manlike exposition of his hopes and
aims, leaving the past to speak for it
self, and thereupon stand pat with the
calm assurance of the believing Chris
tian who holds four aces and razor!
Mr.. Watterson's citations from history
are not happy. Judge Douglas lost in
neither dignity nor votes by his "splen-
did speeches" in 1860. His party being
divided-a Kentuckian, John c. Breckin-
ridge, leading one faction-he could not
win. He would have gone to defeat
as certainly if he had not opened his
mouth or budged from his law Office
during the campaign.
Mr.. Blaine's swing around the circle
in 1884 did not cost him the presidency.
The Burchard incident, or an equivalent,
might have occurred on Mr.. Blaine's
front porch in Maine, or here in Wash
ington. Anyhow, he died in the belief,
and many of his surviving friends still
hold to the belief, that it was not the
Burchard incident, but the count in New
York, which defeated him. The swing
around the circle put great deal of
ginger into the campaign-something
that was lacking when the campaign was
in its early stages.
Four aces and razor are good
sometimes. But there must be no doubt
about how the cards we're obtained, and
there must be confidence that the man
with the razor is not too proud to use it.

The Tariff Commission.

When the revenue bill comes under
consideration in the Senate it will be in
order to amend it in two important par
ticulars which will make for the greater
efficiency and value IF the tariff COM
mission which it proposes. AS the bill
was framed by the House ways and
means committee it carried the Rainey
tariff commission plan intact, with
provision for continuing appropria-
tion of 100000 annually and for the
payment of salary of $4,000 year to
each of the six members. The House
struck out the continuing appropriation
paragraph, reducing the basis of annual
appropriations, and lowered the pay of
each commissioner to $500 a year. An
effort will be made in the Senate to
restore these two provisions, which were
approved by the Senate finance commit
tee, but disapproved in caucus.
If the United States government is to
create tariff commission to frame
schedules and conduct scientific study
Of the tariff it should secure the serv-
ices of the most capable men. To this
end it should offer salaries commensu-
rate with the importance of the duty and
the responsibility imposed. 1t is fol
lowing the line of proper iberality in
creating other commissions. For in
stance, members of the interstate COM
merce commission draw $4,000 each,
the federal trade commissioners the
same amount, and the recently created
rural credits commissioners also receive
$4,000. Members of the federal reserve
board draw $4,000 each annually. In
view of these figures, the 10000 pro-
posed by the House committee bill for
the tariff commissioners is by no means
excessive, and in view of the importance
of the duties to be discharged is actual
ly moderate.
The importance of the continuing ap-
preparation provision may be realized
when the experience Of the civil service
commission some years ago is remember
ed. It was an annual practice of the
Houst in committee of the whole to vote
down the appropriation for the main
tenance Of the civil service board. Then,
in the House itself, it would restore the
item to the bill This farce was annual
ly enacted, but with a serious meaning,
to notify the civil service commission
that it was viewed with hostility by the
House and that it might be abolished
at any time. With the tariff commits
sion placed on an annual appropriation
basis its existence may be cut short at
any session by q mere failure to appro
pirate for salaries and maintenance.
While, of course, Congress might repeal
continuing appropriation clause as
we'll, the moral effect of the continuing
enactment is such as virtually to insure
continued existence.
The United States is surely not in a
condition of stringency to warrant such
picayune procedure as the curtailment
of the salaries of this body to the low
est point of all the commissions now in
service. If it is worth creating at all it
is worth putting on basis of assured
efficiency by enabling the President to
secure the services of capable men.

TOO SEVERE A PUNISHMENT
Tramp Objected to So Long sojourn
in Town That Shall Re-

A certain town-not the one you live
In. dear reader. but It's nearest and
dearest rival--was noted for being
dead slow. There was no amusement
IN the place, not even so much as a
moving-picture show, and everybody
want to bed at nine o'clock every night
because there was no other place to
go.
One day a tramp was caught beg.
ging in the streets of this town and
was promptly arrested and arraigned
before the justice of the peace.
After hearing the evidence the mag.
istrate put on his sternest look and
said: 1T appears from the testimony
presented here that you are a vagrapt
without visible means of support. In
order that you may not become a
charge upon the taxpayers of re-
spectacle community l sentence you to
leave this town in three hours"
"Aw Judge" pleaded the tramp
with look Of abject terror on his
face, "havesa heart, won't yer? /

nickel. Please don't make me stay In
dis burg all dat time. Make it three

FORMULA FOR GRATING WAX
Four Parts Resin, Two Parts Beeswax
and One Part Rendered Tallow
ls Recommended.

A standard grating wax consists OF
four parts resin, two parts beeswax,
one part rendered tallow, each by
weight. Melt together slowly so as
not to boil.
Pour the melted stuff into a pail of
cold water, grease your hands and
spread the mass out under water so
1t cools evenly enough to be tough but
not brittle. Remove from the water
ana pun like taffy. If lumpy melt and
pull again. 1t ought to be fine grained
and pull without being too sticky in
the warm hand.
Make it into balls or bricks and nut
away in a cool place for use. 1t keeps
long time and is good for grating
or for dressing injured places on trees.
The wax is tougher il more beeswax
Is used or softer If a larger proportion
of tallow Is used.

Cuban Jute Substitute.

Malva fiber, the new Cuban substi-
tute for jute, is product Of malva
blanca (Urena lobata), large and
troublesome weed. The report of Unit
ed States Special Agent Garrard Har-
ris shows that in the experiments OF
the last two years, the extraction has
been brought to successful CONNER
cial stage; and the fiber, mixed with
jute, has been used for the soles of
cloth shoes, about twenty tons having
been sold last year at six cents a
pound. The hope of the process own
ers is to make the material into the
q 100000 sugar sacks annually need
ed in Cuba. 1t is claimed that 2h.
pound sack of malva fiber can be
profitably marketed at 7 to 10 cents,
while the normal cost of jute sacks is
16 to Is cents each, the wartime price
having risen to 25 to 80 cents.
