GALLINGER'S BUNK.

Some Of the republican campaigners, to whom are
delegated the of rafting the bones of the free
tariff skeleton finding it hard do without
handling facts rather roughly For instance there's
L. S. Sen. Gallnger. of New Hampshire, who says:
Free trade in hides has not only discour-
aged the production of cattle but has closed
tanneries. that have been dependent
upon foreign countries for the finished
product"
The fact is exports of hides. two years
ago. actually increased thrtyseven per cent while
imports of hides have increased twenty
five per cent.
Now the finished product" if you please i'm
have increased hundred forty per

discourage Of the production of cattle
We wish that from 1910 to 1914-the four
years preceding the tarf-the production
decreased each successive year.
Mr.. Gallnger might turn to his Chicago beef trust
friends the explanation Upon the whole.
the New Hampshire senator's statement is such dis
tOrtion of facts be ridiculous, pro-
tectiOnst charges are.
Only, the protectionists depend upon the public not
being sufficiently informed to see the righteousness of

FIRE PREVENTION DAY

oct . is Fire Prevention day IL will remind many
Americans OF old-fashoned Fourth OF July-be-
cause so different. There will be celebrations in
nearby city in the states under the au-
spices OF the fire department with the cooperation Of
Safety First federation the official sane
ton OF the president the governors
Citizens will be shown to put fires out And still
important, they will told to prevent fires
Here few simple rules to that end prepared
by the Safety First federation:
Don't leave new matches where children can get at
them and don't throw burned matches in anything but
metal receiver.
See that your lamp brackets well away
from all wood work and open windows, and that it is
impossible for shades or curtains blow against a
flame.
Never have stove wood work which is unpro-
tected by metal asbestos.
Do use candles on Christmas trees or for night
decoration except under constant observation with
extreme care
Never or permit others clean garments with
volatile fluids night or the daytime
open the room.
Examine at frequent intervals all gas connections,
and gas stoves with rubber connections
When observance of these rules become general the
nation will burn up considerably than 900
worth Of property a year-some authorities say It's
$500 900 OOO-and will many millions in the cost
of fire departments.

A WORLD COINAGE.
Chicago JournalD

ACLAtd6o oOuA AAoAsJ
An Englishman has invented a
mechanical calculator which shows
the money values of one country in
terms OF the coinage Of several
others.
It is fitting that such a device
should come from England, which
has the most consistently atrocious
money system in the world. But a
much better device would be
standardized coinage for the whole
or at least the main commercial
world: and the practical difficulties
in the way of such an improvement
are singularly small.s
There are only three widespread
systems of coinage; those whose
units are the pound sterling, the
franc. and the dollar. Add 10 these
the German mark, and you have a
group covering five-sixths OF the
commercial transactions of the plan
ct Now observe how closely these
four systems approach each other.
Four British shillings equal S1.a
cents. American money
Four German gold-equal
95.3 cents.
Five francs equal 96.5 cents.
And the good old dollar equals 100
cents. A shift. a compromise Of less
than five percent, would give a
common unit for the systems OF
coinage which transact more than
so percent of the worlds business
The Latin monetary union-led
Of course. by France-has accom-
plished a far more difficult feat OF
unifcation. II has given a common
value and standard 10 the coinage
Of France. Spain. Italy, Switzerland
Belgium. Greece. Serbia, Bulgaria
Roumania, Finland, and Venezuela
while the Argentine peso Is merely
ive-franc piece with a different
stamp. With such a start, and with
the immense practical advantase
waiting 70 be gained even the pas
sions aroused by this war ought not
10 delay long the accomplishment Of
a world monetary union.

HYGIENE For SIAM.

Mahndo Prince of Sonka, brother of the King of
Siam. wanted TO be something than merely the
kings brother. Being a sensible young man modern

honor royal prince that what his country
needed most hygiene. decided would

NIahildo when he made this decision was already
pretty well equipped for his work having spent
years Of study in Germany and England. But he de-
cded that there hygiene to be learned the
United States than anywhere else in the world. He
is therefore this country taking work in

The prince has the right idea. There more i'm

And she was older far than
Quite six months and a day,
But these things made no difference
When SalIie came TO play.

And the sand pile was of gold,
The birds all sang like anything,
Nothing was sad or old,
When SaIlie's feet came down the

And far-oh. far--away

"Hurrah! I've come to play"

But Mr.. Wilson is not an aristo-
crat. He is a Presbyterian profess
sor. He has fought, according TO
his lights, against the exploitation
of the bodies and energies Of the
common people to defend the in
terests and investments of the pros
porous. At the start he would not
fight in Mexico 10 defend American
investors: he would not take sides
with Rockefeller in the Colorado
strike; he helped reduce the tariff:
he alleviated the domination of the
money trust; he would not get US
into the war, even after the Lusi-
tania. though he did risk doing so,
and though all society wanted to
get in; and he would not side with
the railroads against the brother
hoods.
so you see his best.
You may not care for a mon

Mr.. Wilson is a kind of pres

about him is not whether he is

snakes; how many; how big.

crat. He is a good hand 10 nip the

Roosevelt's nature TO fight them.
He could slash around among them

society. His notion Of government
was always government by aristo-
Cracy.
Miss Tarbell is right. Mr.. Will

The rich. as representatives of
the vested interests. are always and
instinctively obstacles TO political
progress. They are beneficiaries Of
the existing order and don't want IT
all mussed up. Also they have a
say about the conduct of life and
the management of affairs, and they
don't want to lose it. The only
power that can stand up against
theirs and keep their grip on the
human windpipe reasonably loose is
the power of the people. Accord
ingly, ambitious spirits are always
reaching out TO grasp and use the
power Of the people.
THAT is the way of the world;
so human life goes on. Jefferson

most of the rich and respectable
people in the country; Jackson
fought the United States bank: Lin
