Aeroplanea are good for round shoulders and hollow chests. These are golden days for tho rail roads, as well as the farmers. A number of London people have appendicitis. That's one style we set, anyhow. An Englishman has invented a trl plane. We presume it falls three times as hard. A 110,000,000 shoe corporation has been formed in Massachusetts. Now watch the cowhide. New York spends $35,000,000 a year on charity, and even at that New York is a bad place togo broke in. Poughkeepsie court enjoins a hus band from speaking to his wife for 30 days. Now stand aside and listen to wlfle! New York paper claims "4,700.000 souls" for New York. Nonsense! The census showed only that number of people. New York man resigns a $4,000 po sition because there's not enough work to do. You Just can't please some people. A Massachusetts man has invented a flexible rolling pin which, we trust, will not make the pie crust more rub bery than ever. According to the astronomers there Is an unusual amount of moisture on Mars Just now. Canning time per spiration, no doubt. If a woman asks $5,000 damages for Jabbing herself with her own hatpin, how much would she earn by putting out somebody else's eye? Now that sharks are known to be good food they become doubly useful, for they have always provided a su perior quality of flsh stories. A Chicago woman asked a divorce because her husband wore ber under garments. This is a case where clothes make the man trouble. A man at Scranton, Pa., who claims to have a hen that lays seven eggs a day should be hired by party cam paign committees to claim elections. Here's a Boston preacher calling Newport "the vestibule of hell." This will disappoint many Newporters who thought they were really on the In side. An American promoter Is about to build an amusemeht park in Rome. The ancient ruins will have to putin vaudeville attractions to hold tho crowds.

Well-Paid American Workers Are Able to Eat All the Hog# the Farmers Can Raise —Some Pertinent Facts. The lowa farmer is selling hie hogs at nine dollars per hundred or more. What enables him to receive such a price? The answer is that the people of the United States are practically all em ployed In occupations which give back fair returns. The people have the money with which to buy pork. Why do the people of the United Btates have plenty to do? The answer is they have plenty to do because they produce nearly every thing which they wear or use. They do not import from China, Japan and India the products of the cheapest labor in the wond. If the American ports were all thrown open in the Interest of the consumer to give him cheap goods, the consumer would be the first man Injured. The consumer is carried in the imagination as a man who draws a salary. If all our manufactured products were made In other lands, he would not be drawing a salary. He would be out of employment. Under no circumstances could he com pete with China, Japan or even France or Belgium. Why are cattle and hogs cheaper in Canada than in the states? The an swer is Canada does not have people enough to consume he" own products. She must ship abroad. Give Canada people enough to consume her own products and certain classes of farm ing will be just as profitable in Can ada as In the states. When the Canadian farmer has all he can do to grow the necessary prod acts for Canada he will become a rich man. Why is cattle and grain growing In Argentine and Australia not r.s profitable as in the United States? The answer is the farmers of Ar gentine and Australia are compelled to ship all their surplus products abroad. If the people of Argentine and Australia were in sufficient num bers to consume all their own prod ucts every farmer in those countries would grow rich. The question is now up to the American farmer relative to the sur render of the American market to the foreign manufacturer. When that is done, ihe American farmer will find himself on an equal ity with the farmers in Australia and Argentine. They have plenty of prod ucts, but no consumers. By the influence of the free traders there is no duty upon the higher priced gloves for ladies. As a conse ouence all such gloves are made in France. There is a protective duty on men's gloves, and they are made in America. The manufacturers of gloves for ladles are growing rich on the open American market. The large department stores In New York and Chicago are the manufacturers of gloves for ladies and their fac tories are in France. *" jey are ma king millions out of their free-trade privileges. This same thing would happen In other industries if put to the test. The only difference would be that If free trade were adopted In re lation to all manufactured products, the American market would not be so good as it is now, for the people would not have the means with which to buy. The lowa farmer would be broken hearted If he were notified today that the price of hogs had gone down to $3.50 per hundred. The lowa farmer had better think this question over regardless of any particular friends he may have among the politicians What is friendship to a farmer when the price of his hogs might go down from $9 to (ISO? if the Democrats visit the penalties of the lower tariff on the peopto of lowa they will soon he found pravlng for the rocks and mountains to Tall upon them to hide them Dee Moines Capital Some New Tall.

Roosevelt Sets Forth the Position of the Parties on the Tariff Question. Ex-President Roosevelt gave the Re publican tariff doctrine in his St. Louis speech as follows: "Now, my friends, one of the ques tions about which there has been much discussion the last year or so Is the tariff, and it seems to me that, from our standpoint, from the ltepub llcan standpoint, the issue is much clearer than some people would have us believe. I cheerfully admit that there was a time when, if our oppo nents had acted with reasonable wis dom they might have caused us some trouble; but they proved worthy of the trust that we have had in them, and they did not act with reasonable wisdom; they let the opportunity go by, and now I think matters have cleared so that we can state our posi tion in a way that will entitle us not only to the support of all the mem bers of our own party, but to the sup port of all independent and progres sive citizens. "The Republican party is united on the doctrine officially set forth ln iti national platform two years ago, that the tariff shall be such as substantial ly to equalize the cost of production here and abroad. As the cost of pro duction is labor cost, this means pri marily that the duties should be great enough to continue to give our labor ing men that higher standard of liv ing which primarily distinguishes the American wage worker from the wage worker of other and less fortunate countries. Now, not only Is this the doctrine of the Republican parly, but I believe It is the doctrine of the over whelming majority of the American people. If our opponents do not be lieve that I most earnestly hope they will mako the fight squarely on that issue." Why Democratic Success? Democratic success cannot come through any exploitation of Democrat ic action; it cannot come through any reference to what the Democratic par ty did the last time it was in power; it cannot come through any promises that the Democratic platform has made for the future, for the only promise that is made at all emphatic by any Democratic speaker or paper is the threat to pass through the house a tariff for revenue only, and the people of the country are not ready to accept a revision of that sort. The question then arises, will the Democratic party without a record of anything accomplished and only with a history that cannot be repeated, ex pect to be returned to power simply because of a dissatisfaction and un rest that has swept over the country because of the higher cost of living, when it can be shown beyond ques tion that In no way can the higher cost of living be attributed to the last Republican revision of the tsrlff. Arguments That Count. When the arguments that will In fluence voters ln the approaching con gressional elections are sifted down to an Irreducible minimum this fact of the country's prosperity is going to show up large. Singularly enough, endeavor is being made to create dis satisfaction with the new tariff In the south and central west. The south is getting 1C cents a pound for its cotton—nearly three times the price prevailing under the last Democratic tariff—and the west is getting $1 per bushel for Its wheat and (55 cents for its corn, or just about double the prices obtained under the Wilson- Gorman tariff The Republican party in the campaign that Is ahead will stand upon the policies and the rec ord of the party and will win. It Is only a question this year, as It was! two years ago, of how large the Re publican majority In the next house is going to b«\ —Capitol Hill fOkla ) News. A Sample "Argument." A few weeks ago a man was hold ing forth on the iniquities of the tar iff. when one of the bystanders asked him just what particular thing he eould name that was wrong about it. "!<ook at how shoes have gone up." he said "Why didu't they take the duty off hides and reduce It on boots and shoes? It la plain robbery " The bystander happened to have a "Spike A" In his pocket iud pulled It out "Let's see what they did do about hides and shoes," he «*ld "Here It Is 'Hides placed on frrx Hat; boots and shoes, tariff reduced 60 per cent.' Is that what mad" the price of shoes go upr Hut the growler kept on growling If It wasn't hides and leather.

He was born in Mentor, Ohio, No- V? r vember 3, 1850, and Is of English descent. When jSfSjffiJ fifteen years old he established a paper at Sot- M -—y / ton ' Neb- * n 1 ® 76 he went to Philadelphia and o abandoned the country newspaper field for the 11 tlff? metropolitan. He had barely attained his major i ||| 'ty when he established the Cincinnati Evening R vwn Post. Soon afterward he became a free lance In 7/V journalism. IllSk. ' n the e» r 'y eighties for a year or two he was city editor of the Chicago Herald. He covered tho legislative sessions at Springfield and was I'HIIIIHIUL lid < WWLT!M/i/lt///7ifr Be nt to Washington as correspondent. At the national capital he scored frequent newspaper tri umphs and soon won recognition for his Judgment and powers of analysis, particularly In reporting political campaigns. His first voyage of discovery was made In 1892, when, commissioned by the Chicago Herald, he established the spot on which Columbus landed on San Salvador. Arctic exploration next cast its lure about Mr. Wellman. In fifteen years he made five trips into the frozen north. In 1894 he led an expedition, reaching 81 dfcgrees north. He placed many new islands on the ">ap and made such a valuable collection of scientific data that his second voyage north in 1898 aroused keen interest among geographers. In 1906 he announced that he would seek the pole by aerial route. He had a dirigible balloon built and it was taken to Spitzbergen, but it turned out to be defective and the trip that year had to be abandoned. The next year found Mr. Wellman back at his camp on Dane's island, with a rebuilt balloon. A start was made September 2, but a furious gale came up and drove the airship back. A landing was made on a glacier. Two years later, in 1900, Mr. Wellman was back for the third time at Dane's island with the America, again remodeled. When the start was made, after covering 32 miles the equlllbrator parted. The big dirigible was towed back to its landing place, when a gust of wind carried it careening over the ice hummocks and it exploded. The discovery of the pole by Peary took away the main lure of arctic voyages, and Mr. Wellman, turning his thoughts In another direction, an nounced last July that he would try a transatlantic voyage by airship. This also proved disastrous after he had covered over 500 miles of the distance to Europe. In abandoning their craft the crew of the airship America lowered them selves into the lifeboat which swung beneath it. Then they cast the life-boat •iff and were afloat on the sea. The airship, relieved of the weight of the life boat, shot high into the air and was blown away rapidly. The transfer of the Wellman party from the life-boat to the steamer Trent, which picked them lip, was made with great difficulty.

Dr. Gladden was pastor of the First Congregational church of 00/-lumbus /-lumbus when he set at the work of public reform. His first appeal was for a change in the elec tion law. He wrote about the evils of the system, appealed to public men and sent out a petition * for signatures at his own expense. A few dollars thus expended enabled him to arouse popular enthu siasm and his point was carried. In 1900 lJr. Gladden, to defeat antagonistic Interests In the Columbus city council, announced himself as an aldermanlc candidate and was elected. He served two years, taking an active and Important part ln street railway, gas, electric light and interurban policies.
