The story of an alligator in Paw Paw lake gives us pause. "The police mobilized their reserves in autos." Automobilized them, as it were. The son of a British peer is wash ing dishes in Texas. His job ought to pan out. This year's peach crop is one of the largest and prettiest that ever failed In the spring. Events in America Indicate that there Is something revolutionary In a banana diet. A small prison sentence looks a great deal worse than a big flno to the confirmed joy rider. The times seem prolific of accidents. And the worst of it is that the great majority need never happen. Now Is a good time for some Don't Worry club to offer an honorary mem bership to King Alfonso. Austrlans are demanding cheap meat. Here is one more chance for the Belgian haro promoter. A California family went crazy con templating the comet. All that some people are looking for is an excuse. Hailstones measuring two inches in diameter fell at Sault Ste. Marie, but the local icemen are not discouraged. A Boston scientist says that sauer kraut is superior to beans as a diet. This ought to be good news in Mil waukee. A Washington umpire will call strikes and balls In Esperanto. Will "some kind friend tell us what they usually talk? Professor Watkins says old-fashion ed dyes have disappeared. Old-fash ioned death, however, continues busi ness as usual. There is a dispute as to the owner ship of the Spitsbergen islands. They will make a cold collation for some country or other. One thing that marks the mikado as a distinct and peculiar statesman Is his success in keeping his picture out of the magazines. The prince consort of Holland has broken his collar bone by a fall from a bicycle. The royal advisers should make him keep to golf. King Alfonso's boat was In collision at Southampton the other day and nearly sunk. That XIII. after his name Is certainly a hoodoo. The washing of paper money Is a good thing, but It should not encourage the gold manipulators to keep our coinage bright by "sweating" It In getting a dog a muzzle It Is not necessary to Irritate the animal by a load of scrap-iron. Dog muzzling may be humane as well as effective. Some one has seen a flock of geese flying southward. They were doubtless hastening away from the terrible heat which Medicine Hat occasionally re ports. Some fault finding Is being done on the score that the paper on which the new SI,OOO bills were printed Is of in ferior quality. Probably everybody noticed It.

NEEDS NO DEFENSE SUCCESS OF PROTECTION POLICY ITS OWN ARGUMENT. Prosperity of the Country Under Be neficent System Has Been Contin uous—Figures That Prove Truth of Claim. The policy of protection justifies it self, and its continuance is a continu ing argument in favor of its continu ance. The energy generated by tho confi dence of 90,000,000 people in the sta bility of the policy of protection has set in motion and kept in motion 600,000 factories, having an annual output of more than $13,000,000,000, and paying out in wages $3,000,000,000 to 6,000,000 people, whoso purchasing power depends upon their employ ment. One gentleman who has spoken here has referred to what he called the "protected sections" of our coun try, but the fortunes of all our people —north, south, east and west; farm ers, manufacturers, artisans, laborers and professional men—are all bound together. Long ago, when the ratification of the federal constitution was* under consideration in the Massachusetts assembly, Jonathan Smith, a farmer from the Berkshire Hills, In reply to one Amos Singletary, put the whole question in a nutshell then and for all time when he said: "These lawyers, these moneyed men, these men of learning, are all embarked in the same cause with us, and we must all sink or swim to gether." This policy of protection has added to the gold dug from American mines foreign gold paid for the prod ucts of American labor. It has kept all the wheels, shafts and bands of production in motion until they have developed an aggre gate of 15,000,000 horse power, equiva lent to the power of 90,000,000 men. It has built railroads by giving them something to carry from place to place, and cities and towns and factories have sprung up along their rights of way. It has built by locating factories in their midst, and the fafctory makes all the difference between the village and the city. It has cleared and improved farms and made farmers prosperous by giv ing them a market at their doors for what they raise to sell. It has fostered and encouraged American Industry until our own in ternal free trade commerce over our own rivers, lakes and railroads is esti mated at $25,000,000,000. It is justified by our prosperity, gathered from the legitimate spoils of trade, in which both labor and capital have participated; justified by the policy of other nations; and justified by the declarations of their states men. It Is justified by the quality of American citizenship as compared with the quality of foreign citizen ship, justified by the savings of labor, and justified by every home owned by an American workingman under the American flag.—Representative Hamilton of Michigan. Pretty Poor Economic Fodder. Some sne in Washington who be longs to the "lay it all to the tariff" class professes to be profoundly shocked because, as he learns, there is an effort to enlist the farmers more actively in the protection cause. If he did not know it, the farmers al ways have been deeply interested in that matter, for they have realized that Ihe development of American In dustries meant bigger and better mar kets for the American agricultural products.

IMPORTANT NOT TO FORGET Protection as Against Free Trade I* the Issue in the Coming Elections. The issue is protection against free trade. The Philadelphia Enquirer correctly diagnoses the present politi cal situation. "The Democratic party," it says, "maintains upon this ques tion (the protective tariff) the un compromisingly hostile attitude which it has traditionally presented. It continues to insist on the ideal excel lence of the free trade theory, and were it to be returned to power it would be bound by its pledges to carry that theory as far into practise as circumstances should permit. This Is a fact which it is important not to forget, and which, amid the multi plicity of other considerations now engaging the public thoughts, needs to be steadily emphasized and con spicuously exhibited. Republicans who think that the protective prin ciple has now been so firmly estab lished ift the United States as to be beyond the reach of danger deceive themselves. It remains as much as ever the object of Democratic ani mosity, and eternal vigilance Is no less than ever the price of its preser vation. There is every reason why during the campaign now impending this great, this vital, this paramount issue should be kept to the front, and the president's wisdom in giving it prominence is the greater because of the deceptive sense of security which in this respect prevails. Too many people who depend upon the tariff for their prosperity, for their com fort, for their daily bread are Indif ferent to the insidious attacks of which it is the object and are allow ing themselves to think that there Is no longer any occasion for them to rally to its support. This may seem strange when one recalls the painful experiences through which the coutnry passed during a brief though all too pro longed period of Democratic ascend ency, but the human memory is short and there is always a disposition alike to assume the permanence and to underestimate the value of present blessings. Our protective system can only be maintained by the votes of its adherents, and in order that it may be maintained the Republican party must be kept in power. The president, besides designating the tariff as the paramount issue, out lines a program for the legislative ap plication of the principle involved, which is admirably adapted to derive a maximum of benefit from the pro tective system and to consolidate the elements of the Republican party." Good Time to Go Slow. The sound protectionist is no oppo nent of tariff revision at the proper time, and has always approved such changes in schedules as conditions seemed to warrant. But he never has and he never will join in the cry for tariff revision in the interest of for eign as against home industries, and that is what very much of the de mand for lower duties means. A case directly in point is furnished by the present situation in the cotton manu facturing Industry. Owing to the high price of raw material, due partly to anticipated shortage in the cotton crop and largely to speculation, mills are operating on short time or sus pending entirely for a season. There is not a cent of duty on cotton, and the rates on cotton goods have been almost unchanged. How can the re sponsibility for the trouble in the cot ton-spinning and cotton-cloth-maklng industries be laid to the tariff? Fibre and Fabric suggests this question when it says: "We find that the years under the former tariff were the most prosperous in the history of our coun try. was fully employed, and wages advanced ten to twenty per cent. The present tariff is almost identical, so far as the wool and cot ton schedules are concerned, yet the people are being urged to senrl men Ito Washington to deliberately open the way for foreign manufacturers to serve America the snme us Canada I lias been served, and kill off a few ! hundred textile mills and throw thou j Hands of operatives out of their ! chosen occupation permanently." It | is well to have tariff revision when needed, but a revision that will put American manufacturers out of busl u> ?..s and American wuge-earners out hi work and which will surrender our markets to foreigners Is not the kind i u commend lts<4f to the thoughtful \Ti»rlcan citizen. Hat the True Ring. President Taft »einlnds congress i that It still has whir pledges to he a< li tie IN CHARGE AT WEST POINT p™~"MaJ. Gen. Thomas H. Barry, U. S. A., who has § become superintendent of the United States Mili tary academy at West Point, is what Supreme Court Justice O'Gorman recently termed "a typ ical product of New York city." He was born and reared in the old First ward, and there are now in New York men who will tell you that "Tom" Barry was the handsomest boy in the old ward, and that when he came back from West Point on furlough the younger boys wore wont to point him out as their hero. General Barry was one of the popular cadets during the four years he was at the academy. As an athlete he stood in the front rank, and he stood high as a student. In June, 1877, he received his diploma, and as a Becond lieutenant was as signed to the famous Seventh cavalry, Custer's old command. After three years in the Seventh General Barry was trans ferred to the Infantry arm and assigned to the First infantry as a first lieu tenant. Two years later he was promoted captain, and after that passing through every grade until in August, 1903, President Roosevelt made him a brigadier general. In April, 1908, the same president promoted him to his present rank, the highest under the present law that an army officer can attain. General Barry as superintendent at West Point is the second officer of his rank to hold that post since West Point was founded. The other was Lieut. Gen. John M. Schofleld, who was a major general when appointed superintendent in 187 G. No officer in the army has a finer record than General Barry. In the Spanish war he was an adjutant general, and after the close of that war he saw hard service in the Philippines. When the Cuban government failed to make good several years ago, with the result that the Americans had to reoccupy the Island, General Barry was designated by President Roosevelt as commander-in-chief of the Army of Cuban Pacification, as it was known, and in that capacity he did his work so thoroughly that when the Island was for a second time turned back to Its own people to rule General Barry was accorded when he left an ovation such as few officers have ever received at home or abroad. FEDERAL CHIEF OF MINES « t"""" - ~" In the appointment of Dr. Joseph A. Holmes to be director of the new bureau of mines it is con ceded in Washington that probably the best equipped man for the position in the United States has been gained for this important post. Ever since congress passed the bill creating the bureau anil giving it authority to investigate mine disasters, make experiments and suggest means whereby accidents may be decreased and the yearly casualty list shortened, efforts have been made by hundreds of interested persons to have Dr. Holmes selected as chief. The indorse ment of all the coal operators' associations has been given, every prominent mining engineer in the country, including John Hays Hammond, has ; made his plea for Dr. Holmes, and the miners' union has added its efforts in his cause. Three great delegations visited Washington early In the summer to urge the appointment, the managers of sixty collieries joined in the laudatory chorus, and sixty-two senators put their names to a petition in his behalf. All this recognition was won by Dr. Holmes while serving as chief tech nologist of the technological branch of the geological survey. In this capacity he was carrying on in a minor way the work which he now will develop to the fullest extent. While the operations of the technological bureau have not been wide spread, because of lack of funds and authority, still the men under Dr. Holmes were able to diminish mine disasters. They personally saved the lives of many imprisoned miners by going to their rescue in the face of dan gers which would have meant death to less experienced men with poorer equipment. The work of making mines safe has occupied the attention of Dr. Holmes for years, and he has made rapid advancement in the finding of effective means to the end which he has sought. He gained the confidence of labor and capital, and it is well known here that his subordinates are loyalty itself to the chief. | WOMAN WHO COST A MILLION ———————The series of exquisite gown 3 worn by Mrs. William B. Leeds of New York. Newport and Lon don, has been the feature of the season at the ultra-fashionable watering place of Deauville, France. She is reported as having had great so cial success and has given a succession of de lightful entertainments. Mrs. William B. Leeds, it will be remembered. Is the woman who cost her husband one million dollars, and who refused the importunities of royal and noble suitors who were after her fortune, estimated at thirty times that amount. Her maiden name was Nannie Stewart. She was the daughter of a wealthy Cleveland banker and was said to be the haudsomest girl In Ohio. ___ She married George E. Worthington. Thoy dis agreed, and Leeds, also a married man, became infatuated with her. It Is said that Leeds paid his wife one million dollars I for a divorce. Mrs. Worthington also secured a legal separation from her husband, and three days later the wedding took place. Leeds made his new bride the present of jewelry worth over a million, a steam yacht, and a two million dollar palace in New York city. While on ! « visit to I'aris, Leeds bought his wife a $200,000 pearl necklace. She wore | this on several occasions, had them unstrung and they were exported In a I bag to the Uuited States and entered at the custom house as loose pearls. Then began her battle with the treasury, which has become celebrated. I Although the pearls were apparently Imported by a Paris Jeweler, the cus ! tonis authorities considered the action a subterfuge and demanded the CO I ptr cent, customary duty on a necklace. Mrs. I.eeds Insisted that they were I dutiable at 11 tier cent, as indiscriminate pearls and won the day and Inclden- I tally some t&O.Oeo which otherwise would have gone to the government. 112 TO HEAD THE GOULD FAMILY ~ ■ ' One of the sons of the very rich who does not N. believe that his life should be given up to Idle itess ami sport* Is Klngdon Gould, th« eldest of """■ t ' J " H * v> ' n children of George Jay Gould Klngdon , : ; • l» wuly twenty-three years old, but he knows a 112/ ' whole lot a!" in his '.idler's Interest and.for .

Pietro had drifted to Florida and was working with a gang at railroad construction. He had been told to beware of rattlesnakes, but assured that they would always give the warning rattle before striking. One hot day he was eating his noon luncheon on a pine log when he saw a big rattler coiled a few feet in front of him. He eyed the serpent and be gan to shift his legs over the log. He had barely got them out of the way when the snake's fangs hit the bark * beneath him. "Son of a guna!" yelled Pietro. "Why you no ringa da bell?"—Every-* body's Magazine. "Good-Night and Pleasant Dreams." Two things mean sweet sleep—a clear conscience and a clean bed. No one is going to put you in a bed they think is not clean, but haven't you no ticed sometimes that the pillow cases and sheets have a stale, musty smell, and that they are harsh and have an un pleasant feeling? That is because they are washed with soaps that are full of rosin and strong caustics. There's only one soap for bedding. That is "Easy Task Soap." Pure cocoanut oil, pure borax, naphtha rfnd other healthfully sterilizing and cleansing agents com pose "Easy Task Soap," and bedding washed with it is sure to come from the wash so beautiful that it makes the housewife proud. Pierp's Appetite J. P. Morgan, Sr., was always a good trencherman in his youth and he has as good an appetite today aa he ever had, not only for cprned beef and cabbage—his favorite dish —but for other foods.

Beware the Dog! A family moved from the city to a suburban locality and were told that they should get a watchdog to guard the premises at night. So they bought the largest dog that was for sale in the kennels of a neighboring dog fan cier, who was a German. Shortly afterward the house was entered by burglars, who made a good haul, while the big dog slept. The man went to the dog fancier and told him about it. "Veil, vat you need now," said tho dog merchant, "is a leedle dog to vako up the big dog."—Everybody's. Perfectly Harmless.
