 Suppose Britain, resenting the shutting out of boots and shoes, shut out Danish butter and bacon. Denmark would go hungry. Sup pose America cut off the exportation of cot ton seed cake to Denmark. That country would havs no winter feed for it's cows Im- posing protective tariffs invites retaliation, and it is a game that small as we'll as large na- tions can play. It is especially foolish on the part of nation so productive as America, which for the very reason that it must do large exporting business to keep it's industries going, should cultivate the friendliness of other nations by accepting what they make in exchange for what we make.

MODERN BOY CARES LITTLE FOR OLD DIME NOVEL

An exhibition of dime novels in New York attracted the old boys, but it has had littls interest for the youngsters, although some of the moralists feared they would be led astray by the almost-forgotten exploits of "Dead- wood Dick" and other heroes of the early days in America.
 The Beadle collection, which has been widely discussed by the newspapers in contrasting the tastes of the modern boy with those of his father and grandfather, was placed in the New York public library and count was kept of persons who came to see the exhibit. During one month less than 10 per cent of the visitors were under 16 years of age. Most of them were men of middle age who chuckled over the familiar covers of the novels they read many years ago.
 Nowadays so much is going on in the worrd, and the movie thriller is so much more realis- tic than the old-fashioned dime novel, the boy of the present finds little to interest him in the exploits of cheap fiction heroes. The cre- ator of Nick Carter made that melancholy confession before he committed suicide

LETTERS TO EDITOR

Editor of the Age-Herald:

To the Editor of the Age-Herald:
 Having received a good many telegrams and letters from my many loyal friends from all parts of the county, I wish to thank one and al flor their loya lsupport in my race for the legislature; also to pledge myself to do what ever can for the best interest of all the peo- pie of Jefferson county and the state at large.
 Now that the election has closed, let us clasp hands and do our bit, and if any unfriendly act or any scars have been made within our ranks, please forget them, because they were not done Intentionally.
 I want to congratulate all my opponents, those who were elected and also those who were not, for the splendid and magnificent manner in which they conducted themselves dur ing the campaign.
 The string to the latch on my door hangs outside. When I can serve you, just pull the string. Your servant, L. K. BOWEN.

OLD TOM
From Farm Life.

From Farm Life. .
 Bill has had old Tom for 19 years. The horse was given to Bill by his father for Bill to drive when he started going to- town to high school every day. Bill figures the horse must be past 75 years old, but he's always had lot of love and good care and he's hearty old thing for all his years.
 But he can't work in the fields any more. Last year Bill put him in on some of the lighter work just to satisfy him, but he was no help and the other horses bit at him.
 He's on pasture now, and he walks up and down the fence all day following Bill and his outfit in the other field, whinnying and just breaking his old heart to see the young horses there under the guidance and the voice of the only man old Tom ever loved.
 It seems too bad, doesn't it., that man or horse or any living thing, should work SO long and so hard and when the easy days come, instead of rolling around in the blue grass, and enjoying life, the poor old creature just spends his days grievin9 for the work he's free fromf

JAPANESE ALERTNEss

From the Washington Star.
 From Seattle:
 with the intention of stimulating and re- building trade relations between Japan, Brazil, Argentina and other South American countries, and also representing Japan at the formal open ing of the centennial exposition of Brazil, to begin at Rio de Janeiro September T, party of 19 business men of Japan reached Seattle this week on the shipping board steamer Pres ident Mckinley, leaving for the east via Port land, San Francisco, Chicago, Washington, Bos- ton and New York. Before the European war Japan's trade with Brazil, Argentina and sev- eral other nations of South America amounted to $18,000,000 per annum. This, however, dwindled until it is less than $2,00O,OO0 an- nually. According to MT. Yanashina, the del- egates will attempt to do all that is possible to recreate the prevwar trade"
 At all times Japan is alive to her own in terests. She never loses sight of them. She improves all opportunities for forwarding them She is competitor of ours for foreign trade, and knows the value of the South American field We shall meet her there, and should be ready for her.
 Important is it for us to remember also that she has merchant marine, which she assists and which functions profitably for her. She is not dependent on other countries for bot toms in which to deliver her goods. She de- livers them herself, and for that reason is the better prepared to solicit and spread foreign trade.
 It will be idle for us to hope for success against competition anywhere so equipped un- less we equip ourselves for the contest. Unless we are independent in this particular-have bottoms of our own, and operate them accord ing to policies which have justified themselves esewhere-we shall fail of our efforts.
 Let us congratulate Japan on her alertness and enterprise, and get similar move on our selves The opportunity is at hand and beckons

HATING A WHOLE PEOPLE

From the Macon Telegraph
 It was Edmund Burke who said that he could not draw an indictment against whole people. Something that could rank with this great state ment of Burke was recently uttered by Anatole France, the dean of French men of letters, in his pungent statement as to why the German people as a whole should not be hated by the French:
 "Why hate people?.> A people composed of millions of individuals differing the one from the other, not one resembling another, of which only a small number wanted war; of which a still smaller number are responsible for it, and of whom the masses have suffered death and torture Hate a people? Why, that's hating oppostes. It is hating good and evil, beauty and ugliness."
 Where in recent literature does one find any thing finer?
 While Germany as a whole became respon- sible for what her mis-leaders misled her into doing and is under the highest obligation to pay &the bills of the war, as a correspondent of the Telegraph pointed out just after the close of the war, there was saving remnant in Ger many that made themselves martyrs through their brave opposition to the war and to the way the war was conducted. nation that is capable of repentaice and rebrth and of filling an honorable place among the nations The problem is to make it as easy as possible for the best forces in Germany to triumph, and inn possible for military caste in Germany or any where else to ever turn loose upon the world again what the German military party did in 1914.

LITTLE DENMARK TRIES PROTECTIVE TARIFF

Denmark, which raised itself from poverty to agricultural independence through cooper alive marketing methods, seems to be forget ting the principle of trade winch caused her prosperity. Denmark's marketing system was | success because the excellent quality of her standardized butter, eggs and bacon opened British and other markets to these commodi- ties.
 Now the Danish Riksdag has passed law, effective immediately, prohibiting the impor- tation of boots, shoes, cigars and cigarettes ex- cept under licenses from the ministry of com merce. This step was taken, 1t is candidly stated, to protect home industries"
 If Spain were to adopt certain restrictions on imports and Germany, France, Japan and other nations followed suit, 1t is easy to see what the effect would be on the commerce of the world. Many gates would be shut to the products Of many nations, and those with . enxylus production would be looking in vain

 BRUSHES

From the September Designer.
 There are two large classes of brushes, those with backs and those without
 These come in bristle, in hair and in fiber. It Is fiber and bristles that are of special in- terest in discussing household needs.
 The backless brush has the advantage of be- ing usable in any position and thereby being at least twice as long-lived as the brush whose only working surface is one side. These brushes are marvelously made and the bristles, hair, fiber or fabric (mops) are so fastened in as to make falling bristle almost an impossibility. These brushes come in every department of house life: Toilet, bath, pantry, laundry, clothes, kitchen, halls and walls. The Russian pony gives the best horsehair, and the wild boar gives the most and best bristles. The test for the bristle is that it will not break if bent back and will spring into place again. The hair and bristle when burned give characteristic hair odor.
 The fiber brush, though cheaper brush is adapted to things for which the bristle brush is not adapted. The fiber makes good scrub ping brush but the bristle would not be stiff enough. Many fibers are made to look like bristle, but the bristle test will save you from a rash purchase. The bristle brush is expensive, and so is the brush of camel or badger hair from which painting and shaving brushes are made.
 The brush market is panoramic and includes China, Russia, the palm-growing belts, France and Belgium. The bristle from the United States is short and not so strong as the foreign bristle because we kill the hog too soon for bacon

PRESIDENT OF THE SOUTHERN
 IN A FIGHTING MOOD

President Fairfax Harrison of the Southern railroad seems to have reached the limit of his patience. The Southern railroad, long noted for treating its employees fairly, made no att tempt to break down the shopmen's strike. The Southern held out the olive branch to the strikers and invited them to come back to work. No strikebreakers were employed to take the places of men who were idle. The Southern offered to take the men back on terms to which they had previously agreed. There was response.
 na statement issued to the press yester- day President Harrison announces that the Southern railroad will be run, regardless of the consequences, and if it means war, he is will- ing to face it now. The public, knowing the circumstances, cannot but sympathize with the officials of the Southern railroad, who have heretofore held aloof from the organiza- tion of railroad executives which contains some of the "hard boiled" officials who are making determined fight against the unions. Tn his statement, MT. Harrison says:
 Every effort has been made so to operats
 
 property that our men could honorably return to work. Every effort has been made to settle with We have to the extent of offering the terms that they had previously agreed to &C., eept We have thus held out every reasonable in- ducement but without resut

 Call is made every employe' upon every patron of this company. and upon every cti- zen along its lines to rally to the support of the road that has served you and protect interests in maintenance of transportation. With your help the road. and pledge all the of the company to that end. If it means war the Southern railway. then let us have 1t now--not later
 The Southern has been on good terms with it's employees and was drawn into controversy which the railroad and probably none of it's employees desired. This is an unfortunate re- suit of industrial warfare. An organization which is doing the right thing is made to suf- fer for the misdeeds of others. Possibly em- ployes of the Southern railroad who are on they belong to national organizations and claim that they cannot make compromise with one road without weakening the unions as a whole.
 The nations transportation system, like the coal industry is so huge that it is unwieldy and complicated. Sore spots in one locality spread to others. As result, employers and employees who have no reason to quarrel are involved in a general disturbance.

ANOTHER ALLIED CONFERENCE
 IS A FAILURE

Doomed to fail at the beginning, the Lon- don diplomatic conference has ended with wider gulf between Great Britain and France regarding reparations. France will not budge from her position. She still maintains that Germany is carrying out policy to make Eu- rope think she is bankrupt, with the idea of so depreciating her currency that she will ruin her credit and compel the allied nations to favor an international loan which will restore her credit. In this event, the French claim the economic advantages she lost during the war, while the allies, particularly France, would be at a consequent disadvantage with the vanquished faring better than the victors Great Britain is more inclined to deal leniently with Germany.
 There is something ominous in the an- nouncement that France will retain her free dom of action. That may mean new compli- cations and another war in Europe, if France sets out to collect what she believes Germany ought to pay. There Is the possibility of a rupture between England and France. They are already far apart.
 As Foreign Minister Schanzer of Italy said, before leaving London, Europe will never be pacified, confidence reborn and her peoples and her economic life restored to normal un- til the question of interallied debts is settled. And that question can never be settled until France and Great Britain settle it together.

INTERCOASTAL SHIPPING
 BUSINESS GROWS

America has found the seas. The high rail rates led to the discovery. An enormous busi- ness is now being done by ships that was for merly done by railroads.
 dispatch from Portland, Ore, says "Co- lumbia river sawmills are booked many weeks tic and foreign delivery. It is almost impos- sible to find space on steamers bound for the Atlantic coast during the next few months as most of the intercoastal steamers are booked to the limit.
 Business between the Atlantc and Pacific seaboards by steamer has developed remark able proportions during the past Is months. Several new lines have been installed and it has been shown that the steamers make bet ter average time than the transcontnental railroads. These vessels have carried lumber from Oregon to Atlantic ports which was taken inland as far as Chicago at lower rates than it would have come directly by rail. Z
 Birmingham has sent an immense amount of cast iron pipe to the Pacific coast in steamers out of Mobile at rates that permitted delivery inland as far as Arizona at less cost than the direct rail haul to Arizona, besides saving half the rail freight to the Pacific coast Once this discovery was made, several additional Steamship lines catering to this business and return business to Mobile established regular sailings between Mobile and the western coast cities.

THE POOR GIRLS MEDITATION

Padriac Column in The Measure.
 (From the Irish.) am sitting here, Since the moon rose in the night; Kindling a fire, And striving to keep it alight; The folk of the house are lying In slumber deep; The cocks will be growing soon; The whole of the land is asleep. May never leave this world Until my i'll luck is gone; Till I have cows and sheep, And the lad that I love for my own; I would not think it long, The night I would lie at his breast, And the daughters of spite after that, Might say the thing they liked best. Love covers up hate, If girl have beauty at all; On bed that was narrow and high, l. three-month I lay by the wall; When remembered the lad That left at the brow of the hill, I wept from dark until dark, And my cheeks have the tear-tracks still And, o young lad that I love, I am no mark for your scorn; All you can say of me Is undowered was born; And if I've no fortune in hand, Nor cattle or sheep of my own, This can say, o lad, I am fitted to lie my lone!
