Humanity gets its money's worth out of the bathing suit. Lots of people never thought of hur rying until they got a fast motor car. So far no one has been accused of mortgaging the home to buy an aero plane. Wireless telegraphy begins to rival chloroform in the alleviation of dis tress. There is no truth in the rumor that the backbone of winter has been mended. Those Zeppelin airships have to be handled more delicately than a pet rhinoceros. Air sickness is an affliction that has rome with the Hying machine. "Stand from under." That celebrated expert, the katydid, was not so far off in its long-distance weather prediction. There Is to be an eclipse of the moon in November. And undoubtedly others, not of the moon. People have such a habit of crowd ing around a broken-down automobile as if they were glad of it. An Ohio Judge has ruled that a pret zel Is not a dangerous weapon. Now for a judicial opinion concerning Wien erwurst. The summer is about over. We no tice that the society column says "has returned" oftener than "has sailed" nowadays. A Washington fclrl strangled a mad dog with her bare hands. What couldn't she have done with the gloves on! "Heavy hogs are slow and weak," savs a market report, but common ex perience proves that sometimes they don't act that way. King George wants all the British army officers to wear mustaches, which is one way of getting soldiers with stiff upper lips. A New York man committed suicide for the purpose of giving his wife a chance to get a better husband. She will not have to look far. The kaiser has a new palace, ma king 51 In all. Private millionaires, even In America, have their work cut out for them if they mean to travel at that pace. A man has been found starving himself because he feared the end of the world was at hand. There must be such a thing as the rash bravery of cowardice. A New York woman declares that an income is liko a reputation—lt must be lived up to. That is true, but it makes some difference as to how one lives up to it. New Jersey has a college graduate 100 years old.

Splendid Prosperity Now Universal Throughout the Land the Direct Result of Principle of Fos tering Home Market. The following from a recont speech of Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is well worth the reading: "For half a century we have had Republican policies. When the party came into power there were few rail ways, few factories and little popula tion in the west. The western coun try yielded grains and meats abund antly, but there were no markets be yond the requirements of new settlers. The people were intellignt and saw at one that home markets were needed. It cost too much to send crops to Europe. We wanted shops, forges, factories and we got them by encour aging them. A protective system was adopted that, made a home market into which the outside world lias wanted to enter ever since. The Republican policy then was to give protection equal to the difference between the cost of production at homo and abroad. "While we were building up our manufacturing system the public lands were being given to the people, which resulted in very cheap food for many years, not very profitable to the farmers. Building transportation lines to the Mississippi valley and beyond, opening mines and increasing manu factures resulted in complete settle ment of the lands in the humid reg ions of our country and has greatly Increased population in all vocations until home demand for food products Is so great that prices are higher than they have been. The farmers during all these years have sustained the pro tective system because it maintained n home market for their products. They paid more for their factory goods, but they were made at home and the maker bought farm crops. Now it is proposed to let farm prod ucts come in free or at lower rates. The farmers of the country had low prices for their crops, while free lands were to be had for taking up. The farmer endured high prices for factory goods while these industries were being developed and the west was being settled. It now costs him more than it did before. The land in vestment Is greater and labor costs much more. Is lie now to be put In the same class as farmers in new ad jacent countries and sell his goods in nn open market in competition with pioneers of other lands? We had ex perience between 1893 and 1897 along that line. The factory lost Its custo mers because goods made chep.per abroad came in. The farmer lost his market because Idle factory people could not buy. "We have good times now, and have had since McKinley became 'the ad vance agent of prosperity.' Our coun try is very prosperous. The revision of the tariff has lost no man his job who wanted to work; 110 panic has followed." The American Standard. The Democratic idea that a tariff for revenue only will let prices sink to their natural level and the matter of wages take care of itself in un-Repub lican and un-American. This is a market worth all the markets In the world put together. The farmer has his products to sell rnd the laboring man has his one product—his labor— to sell. Both must be protected if we are to have prosperity. Keep the la boring man at work at good wages and he will have the money to buy the out put of our farms and factories, and all classes of our people w ill rejoice and b" filad. Former President Itoose veli the other day declared the Re publican position In these words: "This country has and this country needs better paid, better i dueated, better fed and In tter clothed working men. of a higher type than are to be found in any foreign country. It has and it ui nds a higher, more vigor ous and more prosperous type of 111- Jerii of the soil than Is poss« ised by any other country."

PART OF WISDCM TO WAIT Voters Should Consider Well Before Trusting Guidance of Country to the Democrats. The Payne tariff act Is not perfect., therefore turn the country over to the Democrats, is the Democratic cry. No tariff act ever enacted was perfect. No one ever claimed that the McKin ley bill or the Dingley bill or the Payne bill was perfect. There is a difference, however, in the attitude of the (wo parties. Hecause the Payne law is not perfect, destroy protection and return, as Champ Clark says, to a revenue basis, is the Democratic at titude. Because the Payne law is not perfect, let us remove the imperfec tions but preserve protection, is the Republican attitude. The law itself provides for a tariff board whose duty it is to collect facts upon which to base wise legislation to that end. This was a point upon which there has been and is 110 disagreement among Republicans. Let 11s secure all the in formation possible as to cost here and abroad, and then if any rate is found unjust change it in the Interest of our own people. That is the Republican position. It found expression in the debates in congress where the per plexities of tariff law preparation and the certainty of Imperfections in the completed measure were fully recog nized. It finds expression now in newspaper and speech and party plat form. President Taft, former Presi dent Roosevelt, Senator Cummins of lowa, Congressman Sereno 13. Payne, Congressman Norris of Nebraska and hundreds of other Republican leaders all agree that it is the part of wisdom to await the report of the tariff hoard with definite information and evidence upon which to base an opinion and then to act upon any schedule which may be found to be wrong. They all recognize the certainty of disaster to the people of this nation that, would follow Democratic supremacy and they all appeal to their Republican friends to stand together in this campaign and light for Republican candidates and Republican principles. The Farmer and Politics. Tt has been stated by veteran poli ticians that the rural voter is better informed on the issues pending in a campaign, that he devotes greater and more painstaking thought to the things that must be settled at the polls than his city brother. That is why an overwhelming majority of the farmers of this country vote the Re publican ticket. They know that un der Democratic administration they have not been prosperous and that they have been under Republican ad ministration. It is not necessary to remind any farmer of the dismal years of Democratic tariff legislation. This year there are more potent rea sons than ever before for the farmers' support of the Republican party. No other class of persons in the United States is so prosperous as they are. Their prosperity since the return of the Republican party to power 13 years ago has been astounding. It Is ' a matter of history that rural pros ! perity and Republican rule are eoin j cident. Get Together. Republicans stop taking counsel of their Democratic opponents. i hem cease echoing the noisy and dis cordant defamation of Republican leaders by the Democratic press. Lot them take counsel together as Repub i 1 icans and take account of the splen did traditions and achievements of I their ureat party. How long since has it been safe for a great army to be guided by the information and advice furnished by the enemy? In President TaTt the Republican party has as wise I and safe a leader as in him the coun try hast great hearted, high-minded, public-spirited president. The declara tions of the Connecticut Republican plat form in praise of the president 1 should tie repeated in substance in J every Republican platform yet to bo adopted Rochester Democrat and ; Chronicle.

This in brief Is the history of Caleb \ \ j MMfl candidate for congress from his district, which \ is strongly Republican. & Seldom does a human lifo contain so much of \ struggle for advancement from humble begin -1 nings, so much of tragedy and of pathos and so ,-/y - 'A remarkable a rehabilitation in public honor. Ca leb Powers will be a remarkable figure in Wash ington, because of the fact that for eight long years he was immured in a prison cell fighting to escape life imprisonment or execution for a crime of which half the people of Kentucky believe him guilty and the other half believe him absolutely innocent. The minds of newspaper readers will instantly go back to that tragic day in January, 1000, when William Goebel was ruthlessly shot down from ambusli as he was walking toward the state capitol at Frankfort. Goebel and W. S. Taylor, the former a Democrat and the latter a Republican, had been oppos ing candidates for governor and each claimed election. Taylor was given the certificate of election and in possession of the capitol and Caleb Powers was his secretary of state. As Goebel, whom the legislature on contest had declared to be elected, walked across the grounds leading to the capitol he was shot from the window of the office of the secretary of state. The murder created a national sensation and for many years the state of Kentucky was split into two bitter factions. Following the tragedy there came a succession of trials in the course ol which several men were found guilty of complicity in the murder and at least one—Henry E. Youtsey—ls now serving a life sentence. Caleb Powers was tried for murder and was sentenced to imprisonment for life. He appealed, and a second trial resulted in another conviction and a second sentence to life imprisonment. A third trial followed, and this time he was sentenced to be hanaged. On the fourth trial the jury disagreed, the majority being for acquittal. Meantime eight years had rolled around and Powers was still in a prison cell at Georgetown. A petition containing the names of hundreds of thou sands of persons both in Kentucky and elsewhere was presented to the gover nor and in 1908 Governor Willson granted Powers a full pardon. GOTHAM'S QUEEN OF SILENCE Mrs. Isaac L. Rice, the New York society worn tan who fought single-handed to suppress unneces sary noise in the metropolis and who accom plished so much through her determination, ia known as the "Queen of Silence." Mrs. Rice has long been a sworn enemy of noise. Her beau tiful Venetian palace on Riverside drive is so located that, until she began her battle and won out her ears were continually ringing with the shrieks of the switch engines on the railroad tracks that line the river front and with the clamor of boat whistles. Along the East river N are located two-thirds of the hospitals of the city "?i anfi ,llis thoughtful woman realized what extra \ " V-' '' f's suffering the sick must endure because of the v A ' ' nerve-racking clamor. She began to gather evi dence to prove her point and with the aid of Co lumbia university students, who followed the boats and kept count, learned that there were about 5,000 unnecessary but deafening shrieks each night in the harbor. The harbor men were pleased to take umbrage at her inters ference and proceeded to make lifo miserable for her till she secured law on her side. During the night boats passing her home serenaded her with the most horrible whistles and focused their flashlights upon the house. Nothing daunted, the plucky woman secured an order from the secre tary of commerce and labor forbidding unnecessary whistling on the river. The harbor men persisting in their defiance, she had one man arrested, then another, until finally the racket was quieted. This was only the beginning, however. Mrs. Rice had gained the sympathy of all peace-loving citizens and the Society for the Suppression of Unnecessary Noise was organized. City officials were and the fight continued against all superfluous racket Peddlers, drivers, street organs, fiat-wheeled cars and noisy youths all came in for a share of attention. Zones of quiet were drawn around hospitals and at last peace reigned as much as possible in a huge city where a certain amount of noise is unavoidable. The good work has been continued and has spread not only to other cities in this country, but has been taken up in European countries. ~J7A. TAWNEY OF MINNESOTA r ■ An insurgent victory that has attracted a good, . • • -. deal of attention throughout the country was the -j&jg ' ■=' ''L....--, defeat in the primaries of Representative James K&P A. Tawney, who was a canadidate for renomina tßM* in,. -J tion in the first congressional district of Minne- Wmd-.A' j jf sota. Tawney is one; of the most Influential rep resentatives in congress, is chairman of the com -1 mittee on appropriations. A most determined \MJfjmty /j* i fight was waged against his renomination and the PWml 111 insurgents had the support and advice of ltoose • •''tflHT ft I ' y elt, Plnchot, James J. Heney and other expo - J nents of progressive Republicanism. s In his early days Tawney was a blacksmith x and machinist, learning the trades In Pennsylva- n ' a ' w '"' r( ' he WUB born In 1855. near the village ' I (>f Gettysburg. Subsequently he removed to Wi nona, Minn., where he worked four years at his trade, ut the same time studying law. In 1882 ho was admitted to the bar, was later sent to the state senate, and in 18!):: was elected to congress, in which he has since served. Tawney is a dark, almost swarthy man, with a piercing black eye and a black mustache, now streaked with gray. When Cannon made him chairman of the committee on appropriations lie did so because of the strength of char aeter and firmness which Tawney hud displayed, often the speaker referred to him as the"man of iron," a not unfitting title. As chairman of the appro priations committee Tawney was regarded as the watchdog of the treasury, bet lie was one of the strongest stand putters In the house, and hence the declaration of war upon him by the insurgents.

August Belmont, at a dinner in Sara toga, praised the seaside towns ot New England. "But some of them," he added, "are a little too primitive. "I remember a story about the primitive town of Rockford. Rockford had a rough bath ing establishment, with a shower bath. You stood in your bathhouse and pulled a rope and a deluge of cool wa ter descended from the ceiling. "Well, a lady visitor stood one day in her bathhouse, ready for the show er. She pulled the rope and braced herself, but no shower followed. She gave the rope another tug, when the gruff voice of the sailor proprietor of the establishment sounded from aloft. " 'Stand a p'int more to the nor-east, mum,' it said, 'if ye want to get the full force.' "And the horrified lady, looking up, saw the old sailor frowning impa tiently through a hole in the ceiling and tilting a barrel of sea water for the shower. Managing a Husband. Men are like children; they want managing, although you must never let them dream that you think so. No child likes to be ordered about, no man will endure coercion. But man aging! It is an art so subtle, so elu sive, that few women'understand even the rudiments of it. Sisters mine, let us reason together, says Woman's Life. In every human being there is a spark of the divine; it is yours to fan that spark into a flame—that is managing a man—it is to get the very best out of him there is to have, and not two women in ten can do it. I)o not think that there Is anything unworthy in managing a man to I bring nut the best Is a high vocation. I Only let us see to it that wo are worthy of it. There are women who have made angels of men. but at thu cost of their own divinity. There Is room for more than one unselfish per son In a family.
