an impudent interest In Mr.. Nc

aware that when the emergency tariff

publics and Canada not merely ex-
pressed alarm but discussed the possi-

that II we levy n heavy duty on Italian

Senator Watson lights. that the tariff

to forget that there Is any connection
between what we sell tho rest OF tn,

The programme adopted by the rail-

PATHETIC MIR. HARDING.

| There WAS nn element of psthos In
Mr.. Harding's protest 60 tho Wash
inRton correspondents against the
publication OF criticism OF his admin
istration made on tho Moor OF the
House and tho Senate.
Tho President knows that tho ad-
ministration Ia adrift. but he hss n
simple, child-like faith that Il might
be able to bump into safe anchorage
II only means could be devised TO sur
press all adverse opinion. One might
be puzzled TO explain why a President
with Mr.. Hardings record of unfeilng
censure toward everything that Mr..
Wilson did should be 80 sensitive about
criticism OF his own Administration,
but while MIR. Harding holds the same
office that Mr.. Wilson held, he II not
I'm the same position.
Mr.. Wilson was President OF the
United States In his own right, and
Mr.. Harding. like Mr.. Taft, Ia a proxy
President. The difference II that Mr..
Taft was elected ms Mr. Roosevelt'a n
lproSy and Mr.. Harding Il the Old
lCuard's proxy. Mr.. Harding knows
that he was not nominated for Presi-
srammes OF his own. but TO serve M q
rubber stamp for the best minds" OF
the party. Among these best minds IL
Harry NJ. Daugherty. who made the
arrangements Mt Chicago for the Hard.
ina nomination and is the chief liaisor
officer OF the Administration. When
ever there In n Job OF plain or fancy
, fixing to be done Il devolves on Mr.
Daugherty.
Naturally the President II indgna nj
when Republican Congressman attack
Mr. Daugherty and demand an inves
tisation OF the Department OF Justice

can newspapers publish these attack,

PURE MILK.

Editor Every Evening :--There sp-
peared In tho Every Evening. under

the subject Of Pure MILK" stating
that tho Board Of Health would ask

There certainly can bo taken no OBJ

equitable both TO the producer and
consumer alike.
This article In the Every Evening
contained a sweeping statement as tc
the quality Of raw milk distributed IN
town. roflectins on same. but on In
vestigation, II was found that the data
which was procured from the Board OF
Health, did not refer to bottled mill
from clean dairies. but referred onlJ
to that grade OF raw milk that wal
brought into town In largo tin cant
and served from door TO door. and 4
wa, contsnded that this grade Of milk

WHY.
'Why7" from tho cradle to the grsve.
Is mans persistent cry;
why do we work." and Why do we
saver"
Why do we live and die?"
Ever It's ringing in our ears.
With never a clear reply;
What Is the reason for our tears?"
Sorrow is ours. but why?"
The great man questions day by day.
Even as you and I:
Many must work and few may play.
But nobody tells us why.
Come" or go" says the mother fair
To her small son standing by.
And he hinss her the worlds one
question there
With his petulant. peevish "why?"
Duty whispers a word to all:
Toll while the minutes hy."
And man replies. as the youngster
small:
II know that must. but why?"
/ Why do we lose and why do we gain?
/ Why do we smile or sigh?
Ever we stand at life's window pane
Seeking the reason why?
Yet still believe It is ordered 80,
Though our Joys in ashes lie.
Some day the purpose Of life wen
know
And our God shall tell US Why.
