Kind of Men Needed.
If one were togo to the president c?
the United States and ask him to name
the country's greatest need, he would
reply in his quick, conclusive way:
"Clean men." He knows, says the De
lineator. Smart men there are by the
thousands: rich men abound more than
in any other age of the world; able
men are found in every state and
township, but even from a population
of 50,000,000 the chief executive has
difficulty in finding the man of excep
tional character for a post which re
quires a square and flawless morality.
It is tp his credit that he mlsse? no op
portunity to preach manhood. Hut
neither presidents nor preachers nor
teachers can do the work ot fathers
except in their own families. We do
not mean to underestimate the marvel
ens influence of the mother. In most
lands men who reach success give
their mothers the credit . "All that
I am I owe to my mother," said Lin
coln. "It was you who taught me
to write so. You really did, dear moth
er," said the crabbed Carlyle. We get
our moral qualities from our moth
ers. our mental from our fathers, say
the physiologists, and as we look back
we find this maternal affection the
loveliest thing on earth. Rut isn't there
a conviction down deep in our souls
that we should have done much better
if our fathers had taken time and
tioilble to share oud confidences in the
jears that counted most?
Some Dogs Ave Lucky.
A big touring car rolled up to the
entrance of a roadside "hotel" over in
Jersey one day lately with two men
en tlie front seat and two women and
si beautiful cocker spaniel in the ton
neau. One of the men ordered some
drinks for the party, and as they sat
refreshing themselves, relates the New
York Press, the spaniel made it known
that he also was thirsty. "He wants
a drink," cooed one of the women.
"Well, how about it?" remarked the
man who was driving the machine to
the German waiter. "Vait a minute,"
replied that functionary, and he dis
appeared behind the swinging doors
leading to the barroom. Presently he
emerged carrying a tin drink shaker
tilled with water. The cocker barked
his appreciation and scrambled up on
the seat nearest to the point where
the waiter was holding the tin vessel.
When the dog had finished chinking
one of the "women opened her purse
fnd handed the waiter a half dollar.
He made more out of that order than
hie; employer had for the othtr drinks.
>ot so bad to be a waiter sometimes.
11 is the opinion of an eastern con
temporary that every sign of the times
indicates that the people of America
t-re advancing to a higher etliical
plane. Things that heretofoie have
been tolerated are now condemned.
The ancient excuse tha shave
done it —that it is the %vay of the
world—is less a:.<e it 'd. The big cor
poration must show great -r rectitude
oi' conduct I ban was displayed by in
dividuals in ihe old days. Prom those
to whom much power have been given
correspondingly more is required. As
wealth has increased a new burden is
laid upon it. It must carry it or else
fiiiller the consequences that inev
itably follow failure to do that which
fcociety demands.
An Oklahoma historian raises the
question whether men of the European
race saw that country before John
Smith Handed at Jamestown. Doubtless
they did not, siii're De Soto did not
go so far west and Coranado hardly
*o far east. But the white man has
t-eeu making up for lost time by get
ling into ihe garden patch of America
with both feet, and to the number of
nearly 1,000,000 in the last id years.
And he is there to increase and multi
ply.
Justice Gould, of Washington, in
sentencing a man to be hanged, name 1
Tuesday, October 30, as ihe day of
execution, "i see no reason," re
marked his honor after court had ad
journed, "why I riday should oe hang
man s day exclusively. Friday I; as
gCiC(\ a day as any other, and I do not
wish lo put the slightest opprobrium

THZ Vi/ATCH INDUSTRY.
Killed by Uvitir.li Free Xvnde and Pro
muted by American Pro
tection.
Massachusetts is one oi the s' itra
where watches are made in ias*fc«
Quantities. Certain couyre ■ ai; m in
Massachusetts have just, been tUio-.u
hard by the other Republicans in ion
truss because they made ail appeal l'or
a chance to make a revision o. the
protective tariif, to push ttiia country
along tow; I'd trie trade. The pe p!e
already know, says the Worcestti
Te!i vraiu, which kind oi congressmen
they are in favor of, but here i- one
more point which sti< ks out to disturli
the position of the Mas.-'achusetts t a
gressmen. T. P. Hewitt, managing
director oi' iHo Lancashire Wanii
company, in England, has written au
article fur the Magazine of Cosam -i e,
in which he makes the claim, and
Bltows the proof, that the watch ma!
ing industry of the Unite.l Kite. t.-m,
in which it formerly leu the world, is
bting rapidly transferred to the I ail
ed States. Trailsferrad is an ray
word, but the Englishman should hive
the advantage of all sm 11 eons'/:. in,
because he feels badly enough boat
losing the industry without havi::':
Americans change the word u> one
which would sound in ire lorceful. Hi;
Mr. Hewitt writes it plain enoi.- h in
these won':.: "Forty years ; > t ;
best known devices hi the modern
wall he:, \v re invented by Enaii.sa
makers, and at that Lima only '
watches were marie annually in tie
I nited Si ..lea and 164,(»' '0 in Great
Britain. But the whole situation has
been reversed, and while in Great
Britain only 22(1,000 watches wire
made in 1&I-2, ia the United >Sia<.-•• ;.e
enormous numb'T of 2,750,0u0 were
turned out. Ihe American wa., ii [~
rapidly superseding the Swiss us well
as the Ein.lish watch." Mr. tlewit
says the decay of the watch ma ~in.-.
industry in England is caused l.y '1 e
"obsolescent assay laws' and th :
strict enforcement in Great Britain,
and the "fetich of iree trade," w'aia
has hindered parliament in its
lation. The center of the watch mak
ing trade in England is at Birming
ham, and the critic of the system
notes the tact that Joseph Chamier
laln was returned to parliament from
that city because r:»n on a protee
tion platform. That one instance
nlight be enough to reassure the cour
gressnien of Massachusetts ii' '.hay
could back into Hie Republican p rty
before the time for reelection comes
around. They did not succeed in kill
ing the wutcli making trade of Massa
chuPf'tls by free trade ;s it has been
killed m England, and there is ;i p
pect that they never will be able to
do it.
RIDICULOUS ON TH£ FACE
To Ask Americans to Forsake a Policy
That Has Shown Such Good
Results.
The growth of our foreign trad.' is
marvelous. The tariff revi i<»ni?,ts
have been sounding the note of alarm
tiiat if the duties are not slashed we
shall have a customs war with Ger
many ai least and perhaps with sev
eral other European powers. Their
theory is shattered, says the Pittsburg
Times, by the steady increase of ex
ports, particularly of manufactures.
If the foreign peoples could dispense
wilh what they are buying from us or
if our prices were exorbitant there
would be no gain in shipments to re
port. If it was not that they find the
American goods and products indis
pensable to them they would not lie
so eager customers and they would
not be buying more and more with
each successive year. The German
gov ••uncut has retreated from its
programme of a tariff conflict with
the United States for 1(1 months, and
it is altogether probable that if we
stand pat it wiil find excuse for de
laying Hostilities at the c:;d of that
time.
There is no solid ground for mak
ing coik' si ms to a.n •• nation th.r.t
would injure our industrial activity
and prosperity. Manufactures ami
trade are swelling in amount under
the Dingley tariff. It is manifestly
ridiculous to ask Americans to for
sake a policy and a system that are
producing such magnificent results,
to try experiments, th • outcome of
which would b< doubtful.
Dependent No Longer.
A press dispatch from Essen. Ger
man.'.', mentions the expected demand
from San Francisco for strut■ rural
steel, and adds: "The steel syndicate
has just voted $1.25 increase in ;he
price for haif-rclted and structural
steel." Our foreign friends have done
just this thing to us several times in
the past. In ISBO tbey found us short
oi steel rails, and held the price on
us at $82.50 for two months, averag
ing $H7.50 for the year. Then we were
making less than 4,000,000 tons o:' pig
iron per year. This year, thanks t • the
Dingley law, we will probably make
more than 25,000,000 tons, and t..e
German steel syndicate can put their
price where they please without hurt
ing consumers i-i the United State.-.

BUYING PAINT.
| Springtime—after the weather has
! become well settled—is painting
time. There is no dust flying, no in
sects are in the air at that time ready
to commit suicide by suffocation in
1 the coat of fresh paint. The atmos
pheric conditions are also favorable
at that season for proper drying and
increased life of the paint.
It should be a habit with every
property owner every spring to look
over his buildings, etc., and see if
they need repainting; not merely to
see if they "will go another year,"
but whether the time has not come
for putting in the proverbial "stitch
in time" which shall eventually "save
nine." For one coat of paint applied
just a little before it is actually need
ed will often save most of the paint
on the building by -preventing it from
letting go and causing endless trou
ble and expense.
Paint lets go because liu.-eed oil,
which is the "cement" that holds all
good paint together, gradually decays
or oxidizes, just as iron exposed to
air and dampness will slowly decay
or oxidize. The water and oxygen in
the air are the cause of the trouble
in both cases, and the only reason,
outside of -its beautifying effect, that
we apply paint to wood or iron is be
cause we want to keep water and
air away from them. Live paint,
that is paint in which the linseed oil
is still oily, does this very effectual
ly; but dead paint, that is paint in
which the oil is no longer oily, is no
more impervious to air and water
than a single thickness of cheese
cloth would be. If then we apply a
fresh coat ot oily paint before the
old paint is dead, the oil from the
new coat will penetrate the old coat,
and the whole coating will once more
become alive; and this method of ren
ovation may goon indefinitely.
This explains why it is better econ
omy to repaint a little before it he
comes absolutely necessary than a
little after. When the paint is once
dead the fresh coat will pull the
whole coating off.
In the days when repainting meant
a general turning of tnjngs upside
down, a two-weeks' "cluttering up"
of the place with kegs, cans and
pails, a lot of inflammable and ill
smelling materials standing around,
etc., the dread of painting time was
natural. So was the dread of soap
making time, of shirt-making time, of
candle-moulding time and the like.
But we live in an age when soap
comes from the store better and
cheaper than we can make it, when j
shirts are sold ready made for less
than we can buy the materials, when
we can burn coal oil or gas cheaper <
than we can make tallow candles,
and when all we have to do when we ;
want to repaiut is to pick out our ;
colors from the card at the store and
pay the painter for putting on the
paint.
When it comes to pit-King out the i
paint it is not necessary that ono j
should be a paint chemist, any more !
than one should be an oil chemist
when buying kerosene, or a depart- j
ment store buyer when selecting |
shirts, or a soap chemist when buy- !
ing soap. All that is necessary to j
insure a fair show is some knowl
edge of the character of our paint
dealer and the reputation and stand
ing of the maker of the paint offered.
Nor must one expect to buy a pure
linseed oil paint for the price of lin
seed oil alone. It can be taken for !
granted when anyone offers to sell
dollar bills at a discount, he is bait
ing a hook for "suckers." So it can
be taken for granted when anyone—
whether mail order house, paint
manufacturer or dealer—offers paint
too cheap, he is bidding for the trade
of "suckers," no matter what his
promises.
But paints sold in responsible
stores under the brands of reputable
manufacturers are all good products,
differing from one another in the less
important matter of the solid pig
ments contained, but practically alike
'"n having their liquid portions com
posed essentially of pure linseed on.
The competition of the better class
of paints has driven inferior goods
practically out oi the market, and
no manufacturer cf standing now
puts out a poor paint, under his own
name at least.
As to guarantees on paint, they
cf.n be taken for what they are worth.
Any reputable manufacturer will
make grod any defect actually trace
able to tne paint itself and not to im
proper use or treatment of- it. The
really important guarantee which the
paint buyer should exact from his
dealer is that the paint is made by a
manufacturer that knows his busi
ness and that the paint itstlf has a
record. If he secures this guarantee
he can afford to chance the rest of
it —the paint will undoubtedly give
good service if properly applied ac
cording to directions.
He Pitied Them.
A little boy was on his first coun
try excursion, relates the Brooklyn
Citizen. Some birds were flying high
overhead, and his hostess, a young
woman, said:
"Look tip. Tommy. See the pretty
birds flying through the air."
Tommy looked tip quickly, nirl tuen
he said in a compassion rite tone:

A BIG STORM
Swept Over Chatham and
Hamilton, Ont.
DID MUCH DAMAGE
At Hamilton the SSorm Cached the
Proportions of a Cyclone—
No Lives Were Lost.
Detroit, Mich. — Eastern Ontario
1 was swept by a terrific rain and wind
1 storm Friday afternoon and as a re
sult'all wire communication between
this city and Canadian points east of
Chatham, about <;o miles from here,
was cut off. Chatham suffered severe
property loss from the storm, which
unroofed houses, blew down trees,
felled wires and filled the streets with
debris, but no loss of life resulted
and no one was seriously hurt. Con
siderable property damage is reported
from small towns and farms between
here and Chatham.
A torrential rain storm accom
panied by a 40-mile wind storm swept
Detrc it iusl before 0 o'clock last even
ing. The rainfall in less than an hour
measured 1.3G inches. Trees were
felled ; II Aver the city, causing severe
damage to wires.
Hamilton, Ont. —A terrific wind
and rain storm swept over On
tario on Friday from one end of the
southern peninsula to the other, de
molishing buildings, uprooting trees
! and leaving the telegraph and tele
phone lines in a tangled mass of
wires. Linemen who were sent put
immediately after the storm got as
far as Dundas, five miles west s>f
here. They report miles of poles down.
The storm struck this city at 4:35
p. m.and for 20 minutes the wind
tore through the streets at the rate of
■ 85 miles an hour. Immense oak and
maple trees were out off at the base
as though a saw had been used;
buildings were demolished and elec
trical wires of all kinds prostrated.
The street car service was suspended
for four hours. Forty buildings in
course of construction and some that
had been finished were blown down.
ARt IN A HURRY TO CLEAN UP.
The President Gives Out Another Re
port Regarding Packing Houses
ar.d Their Managers.
'Washington, D. C. —In response
to a request from the house committee ;
on agriculture, President Roosevelt j
011 Friday forwarded to Representa
tive Wadsworth, chairman of that
committee, the report made to him by
.♦committee of the department of ag
riculture regarding conditions in the
Chicago meat packing houses. Ac
companying the report was a letter
from the president in which he points
out that there no conflict in sub
stance between the Neill-Reynolds-re
port and that of the agricultural de
partment experts.
It is said in the latest report that
the packing house proprietors are
manifesting almost "a humorous haste
to clean up, repave and even to plan
j for future changes." New toilet rooms
are being provided, with additional
dressing rooms and clean towels. The
report, says that "the haste towards
reform would have been amusing if it
were not so nearly tragic."
The president says his investiga
tions have not been completed, but
that "enough has been developed iu
! my judgment to call for Immediate,
! thorough-going and radical eniarge-
I ment of the powers of the government
i in inspecting all meats which enter

merce."
REVIEW OE TRADE.
Prices of Commodities are the High
est in 20 Years.
New York.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Current distribution of merchandise
is largely dependent upon the weath
er, which varies widely according to
locality. On the whole the week's re
sults were encouraging, and monthly
reports for May show splendid gains
over last year's figures. Prices of
commodities rose to tile highest point
in 20 years.
In the Iron and steel industry (here
is not only little idle machinery at the
present time, but little prospect of any
shutdown in the near future.
Failures this week in the United
States are 200. against 210 the corres
ponding week last year. Failures in
Canada number 18, against 20 last
year.
Congress.
Washington.—On the Bth the house
passed 1)57 private pension bills and
devoted the rest of the day to the sun
dry civil bill. In the senate Mr. Mor
gan spoke in favor of an investigation
of affairs on the Isle of Pines and Sen

" I had one of oar best physicians,
but after ho had been attending me •
about a mouth without any improve
ment in my condition, I decided to see
what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills would do.
"Tiio pills were well known to me

of my family had taken them with the
best results. I soon found that the pills
were just what I needed for I soon be

had taken them awhile longer I was en
tirely cared, and wo all believe in Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills and recommend
them highly."
