KNOWS ITS FRIENDS
LABOR JOURNAL ALIVE TO THE
REAL SITUATION.
Commenting on Passage of Postal
Savings Bank Bill, Assertion Made
That Democratic Party Can
not Be Trusted.
Newspaper readers are familiar with
the bitter attacks made upon William
H. Taft during his campaign for the
presidency in the name of practically
all of the large labor organizations.
Hence the following clipping from the
current issue of the Western Laborer
of Omaha, the oldest labor paper in
the west, is especially interesting. It
is displayed in leaded black face type
on the first page, covering two col
umns, of which the following is the
opening:
"AT LAST! AT LAST!
"With all our heart we congratulate
President Taft and the Republican ad
ministration on the passage of the pos
tal savings bank law. We consider it
the most needed and most beneficial
legislation of our time. Now the poor
est, most humble, most ignorant and
superstitious human beings in the
country can bank his or her savings
and rest assured in the thought that
it is safe. That is a blessing. We
don't care anything about the squab
bling of the banks and politicians
over the alleged 'dangerous faults' of
this law. The United States, for the
first time in its history, has a place
for the poorer people to deposit their
money where It will be absolutely
safe. The people who will deposit
their money in the postal banks will
never know and never care about the
scrap for the funds after it leaves
their hands. The Democratic party
lined up against this law and it will
harm that party immensely. The pos
tal savings bank law comes home
closer to the big crowd of American
citizens, men and women, than any
legislation in recent years, and the
Democratic party was against it.
Shame on the Democratic party. It
can explain and explain and be
damned. It tried to defeat the postal
savings bank law. The Democratic
party cannot be trusted nationally."
New Party Talk.
It is ridiculous to believe that Theo
dore Rtfosevelt would lend his support
to a new party arising out of the Re
publican ranks or of any other politi
cal organization, for that matter. He
is a Republican first, last and for all
time. Although bound by no political
affiliations at the present moment. It
is unreasonable to assume that the
former president would desert the
party that was his making, and he is
certainly not going to become a part
of any organization born of Republi
can dissensions. Despite internal trou
bles the Republican party Is still In
the ascendancy, and were It not, it Is
still believed that Col. Roosevelt would
,be more likely to lend it his rejuven
ating power than to desert It. New
parties-^of late years have not been
successful in the United States. The
Democratic party has tried twice and
with distinct failure both times.
Hearst tried It with the more radical
wing of Democracy, and in 1890 con
servative forcep of the Democrats at
tempted to raise a new party on a gold
standard platform in order to defeat
Ilryan. The foolishness of both en
deavors was quickly proven. In all
likelihood any new radical political
organization made from the rib of
Republicanism, as it were, would fall.
The new party talk is not seriously ta
ken, and to Involve Roosevelt with It
is nonsensical.—New Haven Palla

Producing Sugar at Home.

on sugar t» et experiments In Great

ASKS ONLY FOR FAIR TRIAL
Republican Party Perfectly Willing to
Goto the Country on Its
Tariff Record.
Boston Herald thinks that an
early start is necessary "if the Repub
lican spellbinders expect to convince
the people of Massachusetts that the
Payne-Aldricb bill is satisfactory and
for their interests." Inasmuch as the
Democrats propose to make the tariff
that center of their attack, it is incum
bent on the Republican party to de
fend its position, and it is good poli
tics for the party to anticipate the
Democratic maneuvers. While this
tariff bill is by no means perfect, it
probably is as good a bill as it is pos
sible to produce under political condi
tions. Each congressman endeavored
to protect fully the industries and
products of his district, while the two
senators from each state took pains
to see that the congressmen did not
overlook anything. These efforts were
participated in by Democrats as well
as Republicans; indeed, Democratic
senators and representatives proved
themselves to be pretty good protec
tionists.
If the tariff is the c?use of higher
prices on the necessaries, how do the
Democrats explain away the fact that
the Payne-Aldrich bill actually lowers
the duties on most of these neces
saries, and in no case increases them,
but does derive additional revenue for
tin government by increasing the tax
on luxuries? This is the cold, hard
proposition that the Democrats must
have to face, and their only hope lies
in being able to fool the voters. The
Republican party asks nothing more
than a verdict based on the evidence.
—Springfield Union.
It is possible to condemn the whole
tariff system or to condemn this tariff
in detail, but the charge that under
the pretense of lessening it increased
the tariff burden is not sustained by
the facts that are now available. —
Philadelphia Public Ledger.
PROOF OF FALL IN PRICES
Bureau of Statistics Shows the Reduc
tions That Have Taken Place
Recently.
The recent fall In prices in the
United States is sharply illustrated by
the bureau of statistics' figures cover
ing domestic and foreign trade for the
month of May, 1910, in comparison
with earlier -months of the current fis
cal year. The bureau publishes each
month a statement of the export
prices of about fifty principal articles
of the export trade, also the wholesale
prices of certain important articles in
the domestic trade. The export prices
are those prevailing in the wholesale
markets at the ports of exportation,
since the customs regulations state
that "all articles exported shall be
valued at their actual cost, or the
value which they may tduiy bear at
the time of exportation in the ports
of the United States from which they
are exported." The domestic prices
quoted by the bureau are the whole
sale prices of the articles named at
certain great centers, chiefly New
York, as supplied to the bureau from
recognized and reliable authorities.
The May export figures show mate
rially lower prices in practical;?' all
the important articles forming the ex
port trade.
In the domestic markets nearly nil
articles show lower prices in May and
June, 1910, than In the corresponding
period of last year. The bureau of
-statistics' figures of domestic prices
conn- down ton later period than
those of export prices.
Panama Canal Figures.
The figures presented are what art
known as the ordinary receipts and
expenditures. Tin- Panama canal Is
kept separately. Although having the
power to issue bonds to provide funds
for tin- continuing construction of the
canal, the secretary of the treasury
In the year gone advanced the funds
for the Panama canal work out of thn
treasury, and will r« Inibum* the treas

is propitious for a « an .1 bond Issue

Early Rising.
The early risers are the ones who
accomplish things in the world. To
be up in the quiet, two hours before
the stir and bustle of the day, gives
one time to get well started for the
day's work. For those who love na
ture, this season of the year is the
time of all to get out and enjoy the
trees and hills if one has them, or
the sunrise and clouds, for those are
the possession of us all.
We cannot all be as ambitious as
the early rising Bridget who was up
so early that she had all the work
done and the beds made before the
family were up; but with even a few
minutes a day in the quiet of the un
interrupted morning when one's mind
is fresh and rested from sleep prob
lems are easier to work out.
It is said of Victor Hugo that his
greatest novels were written in just a
few minutes each day before break
fast.
It is amazing the amount of work
that may be accomplished in a few
moments of concentrated thought. If
we wish to do anything very much
we will find time to do it. The piece
of sewing, the letters that should be
written and many things about the
house can be done without dis
turbing the other members who have
not yet risen.
There are many things about cook
ing and baking that take much time
that may be prepared before hand.
Pastry is much better to be made and
chilled before baking. One may pre
pare the flour, butter and lard with
the salt, put into the ice chest and
take enough for a crust, adding the
water; this will keep indefinitely if
kept cold.
Such step savers take time to get
ready, but save time when it is often
very pressing. Fruit may be prepared
for the day, vegetables got ready, the
cold dessert made and many things
which may lighten the day's labor and
thus make a smooth running, unhur
ried home.
Putin the hook, sew on that button,
hem that frayed skirt before putting
the clothes away, then they will be
ready to put on. One is apt to put a
garment away without attending to
the bit of mending and forget it until
It Is wanted to wear. Constant
vigilance is the price of being always
neat and in order, but it is a price
worth paying.
I AVE EABE, have health.
Mi.jL-. And spirits llaht as air.
And more than wisdom,
more than wealth,
A merry heart that iauirhs
at care."
Reminders for the Housekeeper.
Fish may be scalded much easier
by first dipping them in boiling wa
ter.
A tablespoonful of turpentine boiled
with the clothes will add greatly to
the whitening process.
A good agency for keeping the air
of th«' cellar sweet and wholesome is
white wash made of good lime nnd
water. Adding glue to it Is only a
damage, us It furnishes an organic
matter which putrifies and Is most
unpleasant.
Charcoal Is recommended as an ab
sorber of gases in the milk room or
refrigerator. Keep It there continual
ly tn a powdered state, renewing oc
casionally. especially In hot weather
when tin wholesome odors are likely
to affect milk and butter.
Clear boiling wafer poured through
tea stains will remove them.

"It was a good dinner, and at Its
