does that work.
Each disk is placed under shap-
Ing machine. which presses the disk
into the form Of helmet with a
brond rim. Polishing and cutting ma
chimes remove all irregularities In the
helmet, after which holes are punched
In the crown-some for ventilation
purposes, others for fastening on the
regimental crest.
Each helmet is cleaned and dipped
In special mixture that makes II q
dull, inconsplcuOus blush gray. A
lining and leather chin straps are
then fastened on. and the helmet Is
complete. Since the French troops
have begun to wear helmets the num-
ber Of deaths from wounds in the
head has decreased to a remarkable
extent.

Real Easls Of Prosperity.

New York financial publication
calculates that last year, whereas our
foreign trade amounted to s5,350, ,000,-
000, the domestic commerce of the
United States was over 100000, ,000,-
600 That is, in the year of the great
est foreign commerce we have ever
Known, that commerce was only one
per cent OF the domestic business.
It is well for Americans to keep
these considerations In mind. After
all, this country is the chief market
for this countrys products and indus
try. The most important effect that
can be made for promotion of indus
try and enterprise is TO insure that our
own products have the best chance
in their home market, our own labor
be employed at remunerative wages.
Foreign trade is highly important
to us, but domestic traffic is immeas-
urably more so. The fact cannot be
too earnestly impressed. That policy
which will do most for home produc-
zion, which will give assurance Of
steady, permanent employment to Ia
Dor and capital, is after all the real
basis on which permanent prosperity
will be established.

BID FOR HARMONY
What Progressyes Want of Re-
publican Party.
Seek only Nomination of Roosevelt
Willing to Allow the Platform
10 Be as Reactionary as Wall
Street May Desire.

Chairman Hilles Of the Republican
National committee gives assurances
that the National convention will be
open-minded,' and Franklin Murphy
of New Jersey finds that there is a
great disposition to bring about har-
mony if the Progressiyes are not too
nasty"
The Progressives consist of the col
onel, who always runs for office, and
Of George w. Perkins, who always
pays the freight. The others do not
count. We are sure that the colonel
and Brother Perkins will not be too
nasty" The colonel will be satisfied
with the nomination for president,
and Brother Perkins win be satisfied
to have the Republicans collect the
colonels campaign fund, trusting to
the colonels fondness for men OF
my tyne" for further reward.
IN order to have harmony so far as
the Progressives are concerned, all
The republicans need to do is to nomi-
nate the colonel. They may make the
platform as reactionary as they
please They may sell out the party
to the highest bidder in Wall street.
They may restore I!annaism in its
most sordid and sinister form. But
il they nominate the colonel the Pro-
gressives Will not be nasty"

steel Trust Dividends.

The steel trust resumed paying divi-
dends at the rate of per cent on its
common stock after long period of
lower or wholly absent returns. 1t
made this recovery under a low-tariff
regime and during Democratic ad-
ministration. Yet steel trust mag
mates are working tooth and nail to
dispace that administration, and
bring back to the White House the
man whose wild mouthings precipi-
tated the panic Of 1907-when they
were allowed to absorb the Tennessee
Coal G. Iron company in defiance of
the Sherman law.
The moral seems to be that these
magnates prize the privilege of break
ing the law more highly than the
chance to earn good dividends. Is
this preference due entirely to senti-
ment, or does it have its basis in
stock-market profits not shown on the
balance sheet of the corporation?
