One of the magazines published, some
years ago, an article describing a most
interesting experi
lilenl for Am- , . ,
ment made with
It!(Iocs tilrla. j 4QO school rhl l_
dren. The pupils, who were both boys
and girls and ranged in age from seven
years to 36, were asked to answer in
writing two questions: "What person
of whom you have ever heard would
you most like to resemble? Why?" The
papers, as was <xp cted. revealed many
a«nusing misapprehensions. "I want to
be like a king. Because he don't tell
lies or do bad things." "I would like to
be like my father. Because he can do
what he wants." "1 would like to be
like Queen Elizabeth. The reason why
1 would like to he like her is because
she was kind to everybody." The an
swers just given are fair specimens
from the lower grades. As the children
grow older two things are noticeable:
the effect of historic instruction, Wash
ington or Lincoln being the chosen
ideal of 40 per cent, of the children over
ten, and the significant increase in qual
ities which accompany an active life.
The children desire to be brave, free, to
have adventures and togo to war.
"Robinson Crusoe," a boy of 12 writes,
"Because he had no expenses to pay,
and I would love to be near the Indians,
and a person would be more apt to dis
cover something." The most striking
thing in these answers, however, ac
cording to the view of the Youth's Com
panion, is the increase in masculine
ideals among the girls. Sixty-seven p< r
cent, of the older girls emphasize char
acteristics as desirable which 30 years
ago would have been considered dis- ;
tinctly unfeminine; such, for example,
as intellectual ability, desire for free
dom, adventure, fame, leadership, dis
covery, invention. One girl of 13 states
the case fairly: "I believe that I would
rather resemble a man than a woman,
because the deeds of women, although
sometimes great, self-sacrificing and
brave, sink into insignificance when
compared with the valorous deeds of
nun." Such a result is natural when we
remember that American history pre
sents only male characters and deals al
most exclusively with conquest and
war. The girls are merely seeking the
best that they have been taught to
know. Yet is there not need just here
for a teaching, whether at home or at
school, of deeper insight which shall j
reveal the other side of the picture?
The deeds of pioneer women, no less
"valorous" than their husbands and
sons; the silent heroism of mothers and
wives who knew the agony of war but
not its glory; the faith that kept even
step with the long labors of inventors; '
the love that in all times has made high
deeds possible—should not our girls be
taught to claim these as their rightful
heritage? To be a woman of courage
and honor and clear brain and pure j
heart, this should be an ideal great
enough to satisfy the most ambitious
girl.
The ordering of great numbers of lo- ■
comotives and freight cars and the

Mori mines. roads show that
the roatls have been wearing them
selves out hauling prosperity around
and that as it seems to be going to
keep up, a fresh set of tools is neces
sary to keep on hauling it. For a time,
according to the St. Louis Globe-Dem
ocrat, some of the lines were so over
whelmed with business that they were
unable to care for it with the an
tiquated and rusty apparatus still left
over from hard times. They have had
to get new machinery. For awhile
this means more mortgages, but no
body seems to be afraid of a mortgage
except a farmer and a man on a sal
ary. It was never known to worry a
railroad. There is no walking the
floor over a $60,000,000 mortgage;
which shows it is better for a corpora
tion to do business than an individual.
A corporation can't worry. If it does
break up, it goes to the courts and gets
some kind of a writ or order that no

CALAMITY SUITS THEM.
Democrat* Have \<ill«iiiK lo lltip« For

Dlkti later.
There is an intimation that the strike
of the anthracite miners is to be renewed
in 1904, so as to affect the presidential
canvass. A strike, it is said, was con
templated for this year, but it has been
put off for 12 months. Of course, the
possibility of a big labor disturbance
next year is something which will give
comfort to the democratic politicians.
It may be presumed, indeed, that those
personages will use their influence to
stave off to 1904 all labor conflicts which
have any chance to come in the present
year, or which are threatening. Noth
ing in the general business or political
situation as it now exists has the slight
est promise of success for the demo
crats, says the St. Louis Globe-Demo
crat. So far as any democratic poli
tician can see at this time. President
Koosevelt's majority in 1904 will be at
least as large as President McKinley's
was in 1900.
A labor disturbance on a large scale,
however, would change the situation, as
the democrats believe. It was thellome-
Stead strike of 1592 that hit the republi
cans in that year, and defeated Harri
son for reelection. Other causes—the
belief that prosperity was fixed anyhow
and that democratic success could not
affect it, and the desire which many peo
ple always have for a change of some
sort —had some influence on the cam
paign, but democrats as well as republi
cans concede that the Homestead labor
conflict had much to do with Cleveland's
election in that year. The strike began
in the summer, just after the national
conventions had been held, and it lasted
for over four months. The Pennsylvania
militia were called out, the leaders of the
strikers were arrested on a charge of
treason asainst the state and the whole
country was excited. The strike was at
length called off. but no], till long after
it had been lost. It was not till Novem
ber 20 that the affair ended, and that was
two weeks after the election had taken
place. The republican plurality in Penn
sylvania in that year was reduced to
63.000, largely on account of the labor
troubles. Cleveland carried the repub
lican states of Illinois and Wisconsin,
and cut Harrison's lead in Ohio almost
to the vanishing point.
Manifestly, if the democratic bosses
?an bring on an anthracite strike in 1904
they will be encouraged to make an act
ive canvass. But let them not assume
that even if there should be a strike they
would win the election. The anthracite
strike in 1902 was the most serious labor
conflict which has occurred in the United
States in many years, but it did not have
the political effect which the democrats
hoped and which some republicans
feared. The republicans carried congress
in that year by a large majority. Presi
dent Roosevelt showed himself to he
such a friend to both sides in the conflict
that his plan of a truce and arbitration
was adopted. A settlement was reached
whereby work was resumed, and though
the prices of coal were sent tip to the
highest figure touched in many years, the
republican party was not perceptibly in
jured. The president, indeed, by his ar
bitration scheme, made new friends
among the miners as well as among the
people in general which stand a chance
to help the party in 1904. As the demo
crats' interest in bringing a labor con
flict next year is known, the republican
chieftains may be relied onto use their
Influence, for the sake of the country as
well as that of the party, to avert it. The
calamity which the democrats desire for
partisan purposes stands an excellent
chance to be headed off.

I'roHperit
Japan has been trying protection and
seems to like it. That country is mak
ing great advancement in the ways of
civilization, and naturally wants to
stand among progressive people. To do
so it must develop its own resources,
and this can be done only through
proper encouragement. Japan a few
years ago discovered that, it was buying
abroad a large, number of articles which
its foremost statesmen and economists
were satisfied it could produce at home.
For instance, in 1 Sl>B Japan imported
$1,474,168 worth of watches. It con
cluded to try the effect of higher tariff
rates on many products, believing the
result would be to stimulate home de
velopment. The result has justified its
judgment. In 1902 its imports of
watches, for instance, were but $116,670.
It had increased the duty on watches
from five per cent., the former rate, To
30 per cent. Effect —the Japanese be
gan to manufacture watches and the
importations of those articles fell off.
But, while this has been the case, says
the Troy Ttmes, the general result of
the higher tariff has been to increase,
not to diminish, Japan's foreign trade
generally. In this respect its experi
ence has strikingly similar to that of
the United States, which under
"high protection" has seen its
manufactures attain unprecedented
proportions, surpassing those of
any other nation, while its ex
ports and imports have reached pro
digious figures. The absurd free trade
contention that protection shuts the
doors of other nations against a pro
tected country has been so often dis
proved of late by the stories from Ger
many and Japan and the remarkable
commercial advance of the United
States that it would seem to be pretty
near time to retire that worn-out as
sertion.
Japan is increasing both its exports
and its imports, just as the United
States is doing, and the greatest in
crease in each case has been made since
higher protection has been secured.
Here are a few figures which are sig
nificant as indicating the drift: For the
first four months of the present year the
imports of Japan were about $14,000,000
in excess of those of the same period
last year, and the exports were $3,000,-
000 greater. For the same four month'?
the imports of the United States ex
ceeded those of the like period last
year by $47,000,000, while the exports
for the four months of 1903 were $54,-
000,000 more than in 1902. Japan is fol
lowing the protection trail, and it finds
in tlie United States a very encouraging
example.
PREPARING FOR NEXT YEAR.

Undoubtedly the intimation in a dis
patch from Pottsville, Pa., that the
strike of the anthracite coal miners
may be renewed next year, during the
presidential election, was inspired by
democratic suggestion or advice. A
great quarrel between capital and labor
next year would establish conditions in
which the democratic politicians would
revel, says the Cleveland Leader.
That it would be accompanied by po
litical complications nobody can doubt,
for it is intimated that the leaders of
the miners are figuring on political as
sistance to help them win a victory.
Such a strike, occurring next year,
would surely put President Roosevelt
in an annoying position. He would, of
course, be asked to use his good offices
to bring about a settlement of the con
troversy, and whichever side he took he
would run the risk of incurring the ill
will of those on the other side. On the
other hand, his democratic opponent,
not being in public office, could play the
demagogue to his heart's content, with
out annoying complications.
Nothing would probably please the
democrats better next year than a
strike of the anthracite coal miners.
But the leaders of the miners, if they
have any sense of gratitude, will pre
vent one if it lies within their power to
do so. They have every reason to be
grateful to Theodore Roosevelt. Last
year, in his efforts to restore industrial
peace in the anthracite region, he vio
lated all precedent by calling the repre
sentatives of capital and labor to the
white house for a conference, and he
put his hand into the strike situation
so firmly and with such good effect that
the long struggle was brought to a
close with honor and credit to labor.
Mr. Ilryau Complimented.
We have little admiration for bolters
as Mr. Bryan professes to have. In our
philosophy, the man who thinks himself
better, and greater, and more virtuous
than his party is a tiresome prig, and
when the man happens to be a benefici
ary of the party he is an ingrate to boot.
But the spectacle of Mr. Bryan, with an
entourage of mouthing mountebanks,
proelaiminghimselftheonly true proph
et and denouncing all who disagree with
bim as renegades is a little too much for
our patience and composure. He will do
well to remember that he has already
been twice overwhelmingly defeated,
and to consider that modesty will be
come him somewhat better than this
fantastic arrogance.—Washington Post.
Wlicrc Gorman Stand*.
Democrats profess to wonder why
republicans are pleased whenever the
possibility of Senator Gorman of Mary
land receiving the presidential nomina
tion is hinted at. Why should they not
be pleased? With the recollection of the
part which the" senator bore in the
"perfidy and dishonor" tariff pro
gramme of 1894, with the insatiate hos
tility of the Bryan faction and a great
many more elements of weakness in his
candidacy, the republicans regard htm
as "easy."—Troy Times.
VICTIMS OF GRAFTERS.
government Ferreting Out Fraud*
Perpetrated on Indian* Land Sale)
Annulled,
Washington, Aug. 28. — The deter
mination of Secretary Hitchcock to
send to Indian Territory a man not. |
connected with the department of;
the interior to investigate conditions ;
there is understood to lie for tin- pur- l
pose of supplementing the work of!
the secretary himself and of other j
representatives of the department in j
that territory. Since early last I
spring the secretary has been giving
a large share of his personal at ten- 1
tion to the situation in the territory j
and a number of the inspectors and
other oflieials of the department
have been engaged in the effort to 1
ferret out frauds and protect the in- ;
terests of the Indians.
'J'he secretary made a tour of the i
territory in May, largely for the
purpose of making inquiry regarding
reports that had come to liini of ef- !
forts to deprive the Indians of their
rich landed inheritances, and the re-:
suit of this personal investigation
was to confirm the report that there :
was a persistent effort to secure t lie !
Indian lands at prices far below their ;
real value.
As a consequence of this inquiry he i
made u radical revision of the regula
tions for the sale oi the alloted
lands, and the developments since
that change was made indicate that
he has saved the Indians a large per- i
centage over what would have been I
paid them if the original regulations '
had stood.
The new rules require that all In- [
dian lands which ar; 1 for sale shall be
advertised and appraised by a com
petent official. The secretary lias
cancelled all sales made prior to the
time that the new regulations took
effect. There were 429 of these deeds,
calling for an aggregate payment of
$360,000, All these deeds, with the
checks, have been returned to the
purchasers and the prices received on
inherited lands indicate that under
the new regulations the prices paid
will exceed the old prices by from 13
to Iper cent.
Persistent efforts to secure con
trol of tiie lands through the lease
proeesss have been discovered. In
one ease the secretary found during
his stay in Indian Territory that
clerks in the office of an Indian agent
had taken on themselves the respon- i
sibility for denying a hearing to their
national attorney, who represented
some H.ooo Indians. The secretary
immediately denounced this transac
tion us an abuse of official authority
and provided for the punishment of
the persons engaged in it.
A favorite method for securing the
leases is to have the, Indians ap
proached by merchants, who by offer
ing their wares in exchange can se
cure the most favorable terms from
them, and the understanding is quite !
general that when control of a piece
of land is once secured by means of
leasing it will be held by some means
until it can be purchased at the
lessee's own figures. The secretary
is giving his careful attention to this
problem and is already, even under
the present law. finding mvans to
protect the Indians against some of
the most flagrant abuses of the leas
ing system.
The secretary realizes that while
there may be shortcomings on the.
part of some of the government olli
cials, there are on the other hand
many men not employed by the go\-
erninent who have grievances
against these officials and are dis
posed to make all the trouble for
them they can. These men he des
ignates as "grafters," and the feel
ing in the department is that any
official who may oppose their designs
is certain to be made the subject of
the harshest censure bv tnem. The
secretary announces his determina- j
lion to protect officials who are doing
their duty against the scheme of all j
such people.
Several officials who already have .
been detected in questionable trans
actions have been dismissed, while !
Ihe resignations of others have been
requested.

Keadville, Mass., Aug. 25. —Before &
great crowd of spectators at lleud
ville yesterday and with track and
weather conditions perfect. Lou Dil
lon trotted a mile in two minutes, a
new world's record.
So that 110 breeze might interfere,
Millard Sanders, driver of the great
mare, brought out the daughter of
Sidney Dillon for the attempt early
in the day.
For pacemakers there were two
running horses hitched to road carts,
Peggy from Paris, driven by "Doc"
Tanner, and Carrie Nation, driven by
Scott McCoy.
The first score was fruitless, Lou
Dillon makinjj a break just before
reaching the wire. On the second at
tempt. however, the word was given,
though Starting Judge Walker rang
his bell, but Tanner nodded for hi in
to say "go"and, turning to Sanders,
called to him to come along 1 . Tanner
kept Pegpy from Paris directly in
front of the peerless chestnut trotter,
while McCoy lay at her wheel. In
this way the trio went to the quarter
pole in 30V4 seconds.
With never a skip Lou Dillon went
so smooth-gaited down the back
stretch as to lead those not timing
the mile to believe that her speed
was not alarmingly fast. The half
was clicked off in 1:Ol» : *i. Around the
turn to the three-quarters pole the
clip quickened, the third quarter be
ing in :sn'/i seconds, making that mark
of her journey in 1:31. Faster and
faster came Tanner with the runner
and right with him trotted the hand
some California bred mare.
To the amazement of all the quarter
was drove in 2!) seconds, thus mak
ing the mile in the wonderful time
of two minutes.
When Sanders jogged the mare
back to the wire, those who had wit
nessed the performance leaped to
their feet and sent forth cheer after
eheer. Lou Dillon apparently was as
fresh as though she had only been
out for a jogging exercise.
Favorites won all the four racing
events. "Scott" Hudson drove two of
the winners. Xervala and Dillon Boy.
"Build" Dfible pulled off the Blue Bill
stake of $3,000 with Kinney Lou,
while Curry had no trouble in win
ning - with \l Bock, it as announced
that 011 Friday .Major Delmar will

Toledo. Vug". 2.").—George Ketehatn,
owner and driver of Cresceus, upon
being" informed of Lou Dillon's won
derful mile, sent the following tele
gram: "Ceorge K. Billing's. Bead
ville. Mass.: T congratulate you on
the wonderful performance of your
mare. Cresceus transfers the crown
to pfood hands."
Beadville. Mass., Atig. 27. With the
track so muddy next to the pole that,
racing" bad to lie done in the clean
outside of the course, the second
day's program of the grand circuit
meeting at Keadville was decided he
fore a "large crowd. The principal at
traction was the $5,000 Norfolk stake
for pacers eligible to the 2.24 class
Inst spring".
"Nick" Ilubinger's blind stallion
Elastic Pointer, brother of Star
Pointer, was made favorite and won
the first heat. The talent got a bad
scare in the second heat when .lack
Curry made a rousing finish with Pan
Michael, nipping" out Pointer right at
the wire. Elastic Pointer came back
gamely, however, taking the two fol
lowing heats.
Promise was backed heavily to win
the 2:12 trot. After taking the open
ing heat he dropped the next two,
"Scott" Hudson having the winnner
in Belle Kuser.
In the 2:10 trot, the Roman, a
warm favorite, was not a factor af
ter the first heat, which .11111 Kerry
won. The next heat the grey gelding
quit to almost a walk when collared
at the distance flag. McKinley win
ning by half a length.
Krank Yoakum was first choice in
the 2:11 pace and won in two straight
heats.
Keadville, Mass., Aug. 28.—About
12.000 persons attended the grand
circuit races at Keadville yesterday.
The conditions were not perfect for
extremely fast time. Billy Buck was
the favorite for the Massachusetts
$15,000 stake for 2:12 trotters and
won the race.
The judges suspended Scott Hud
son ten days for laying Hawthorne
up. Alta McDonald was also given
ten days' suspension for laying Ka-
Inares up in the initial heat of the
2:2'> trot. Queen Wilkes won the
race.
Another New York horse to win
was Mazetto in the 2:16 trot, lie and
Jav McGregor had a duel for five
heats.
"Lou" McDonald paraded the best
5-ycar-old out this year in Sadie Mac.
She trotted to the half the first heat
of her race in 1:04%, the second quar
ter in .'ll % seconds, fairly walking
the last 50 yards and winning in
2:12%.
Dan Patch paced each of the first
three quarters of.his mile in exactly
•30% seconds and the final one in 2!)'/■>
seconds, making the mile in 2:00%.

The New York Central's Empire Staff*
Express is recognized as the swiftest and
surest train operated bv America's greatest
railroad, and considered the very best means
to cover the ground in the time required. It
is for this reason that the Harvard Uni
versity football team named their best and
surest play of the season of 1902the''Empira
State Express," for they believed it to be
the most reliable play in their programme.
It was successful throughout the season
until it met Yale's "20tli Century Limited "
play, which was just as swift, sale and sure,
but had longer endurance and was "limited"'
only by the size of the field. The names of
the rival teams very correctly describe th(?
difference In the famous trains, the "Empire
State" running only from New York to
Buffalo, while the "\iOth Century Limited"
makes the 980 miles between New York and
Chicago in twenty hours every day of the'
year. Great is the New York Central and
great are the trains it operates—swift, safe
and reliable. — From the Brooklyn Standard

The Summer Until.
Nothing is more refreshing or invigor
ating in summer than a daily bath. Use
soft, tepid wafer and good soap. Ivory
soap is ideal for the bath; it is pure,,
lathers quickly and leaves the skin soft
and white. The bath should be taken
early in the morning, or just before retir
ing at night. ELKANOP, K. PARKER.
