Benefits of Reciprocity as Set Forth by the Late President Present Chief Executive Has Lined Up with the "Stand Pat" Crowd. The Ohio Republicans commend President Roosevelt's "adherence to President McKinley's policies." By this they mean that they commend his peculiar way of adhering to President McKinley's policies. They make this plain when they say that "changing conditions and the possible benefits of reciprocity may call for timely re adjustment of schedules." This Is Roofeevelt, not McKinley. It fcpeaks of "possible" benefits of reci procity and suggests that these and "changing conditions may" call for re adjustment of schedules. There was nothing of this vague ness and uncertainty in Mr. McKin ley's last speech. In that deliverance he spoke of the benefits of reciprocity not as "possible," but as certain, and he declared not that conditions "may" call for "timely" adjustment of sched ules, but that they did at that time call for adjustment. While Mr. McKinley spoke of reci procity, his language was such as to leave no doubt on any candid mind that he was convinced that the time had come for a lowering of the tariff wall all around irrespective of reci procity treaties. Ills address was al most wholly a statement of elemen tary economic principles which con duct necessarily to the doctrine of free trade. He called attention to the fact that whereas we had been securing the home market to American manu facturers we were then seeking for eign markets for their products and he strongly emphasized the economic truth that in order to secure foreign markets for our own products we must open our markets to foreign products; that we could not sell every thing and buy nothing; that trade was necessarily reciprocal irrespect ive of treaties and advantageous to both the parties to the exchange. Mr. Roosevelt has never uttered a word in public indicating that he Is in sympathy with these advanced views which so shocked the stand-pat Republican bosses. Every public de liverance of his touching the subject has served to mark him as one of the stand-pat crowd. Even his incessant hurrah for a bigger and bigger navy implies his acceptance of the medival doctrine that trade is something to be won by cunning diplomacy backed by carnage. The Ohio Republicans cheerfully ac cept the economic doctrines of Mr. Roosevelt and are glad to be rid of those proclaimed by Mr. McKinley with his last breath. DECEIVING THE PEOPLE. The Republican Leaders Take Differ ent Views of Trust Control. The Republican leaders should get together and agree on information they impart to the voters. President Roosevelt, in what was doubtless a carefully considered speech on the tar iff and trust issue, told us that the Sherman law was inadequate and a constitutional amendment was essen tial to control the trusts. The Ohio Republican platform says: "Combina tions for the monopoly of trade and kindred unlawful purposes are direct ly amenable to penalties provided by Republican legislation," meaning, of course, that the Sherman law is ample to control the trusts. Which of these statements are we to believe, that of the President or Senator Hanna? Neither do the same authorities agree on the tariff as affecting the trusts, for the President said that the tariff had no connection with the trusts, while the Ohio platform, after de claring as above quoted on the control of monopolies, further says: "No worthy interest is imperiled but what ever will work public harm is re strained and that without resort to the Democratic plan of destroying all American industries through tariff re vision or otherwise." "Or otherwise" is good. It allows the Republican brethren a hole to crawl into when the Democratic plan of tariff revision has relieved the peo ple from trust extortion, which is now permitted by the protection the tariff gives them. It would also seem that Senator Hanna has changed his mind about trusts, for it is not long ago that he was vociferously declaring from every stump he mounted that there were no trusts, and now he admits that there are "combinations for the monopoly of trade." This being all things to all men and each leader putting his own construction on the important issues may fool some of the people all the time, but it surely cannot fool all the people all the time. The Way Hanna Was Disarmed. From the high authority of the "trust" organ the country has had a full explanation of the motive which led Mr. Mark Hanna to drop his fight for the "trusts" against Presi dent Roosevelt in Ohio. This explana tion makes it necessary, that the truth of history may prevail, to re nounce all our faith in the generally accepted reasons for the retreat of Mr. Hanna before the wrath of aroused and indignant Republicanism. It seems that Mr. Roosevelt soon was to be a guest under the roof of Mr. Hanna. It was long before the Senator decided to check the rush of the Ohio Republicans to the Roose velt standard that he had asked the President to come to his house and that the invitation had been accepted. Mr. Hanna did not dream then that his duty as host obliged him to Issue an order to the Republicans of Ohio commanding them to indorse his guest for the Presidency. Instead of doing that he felt no indelicacy in ordering them to refrain from giving that in dorsement. It was only when it be came plain to Mr. Hanna that the Re publicans of Ohio would not take his orders, and when it w as shown to him that he would get a sound drubbing If he tried ,to break their will, that Mr. Hanna was overpowered by a sense of the duty which the host owes the guest, and that he was stung by the shame of his neglect to discharge thet duty by all means in his power. The "trust" organ's explanation of the cauee that moved Mr. Hanna to drop his fight on the President ibows how seeming trifles shape great events and direct the destinies of nations. A commonplace incident like the wed ding of a Senator's daughter, we heve lived to learn, may bring disaster to "trusts." dictate political platforms, crush the hopes of bosses and fulfill the wishes of a whole people. The Presidential candidate of the future may profit by the experience of Mr. Roosevelt, and whenever he wishes to disarm a foe he will have the simple way open to him of beguiling the en emy into asking him to dinner. Labor in the Colonies. As the constitution does not follow the flag Into our new colonies of course the other good things are slow in getting there. In the Philippines trial by jury is prohibited and com mon laborers are paid by the govern ment 40 cents in silver about 20 cents in our money. In Porto Rico they have trial by jury, much to the disgust of the administration in the smuggling cases, and labor gets the magnificent reward of 40 cents a day payable in "chips" instead of money, good at plantation stores where goods are sold at 40 per cent profit. These benefits with which we are benevo lently assimilating our subjects, can hardly make them yearn for a closer incorporation with the mother country, and they feel like pitching the tea overboard as our forefathers did un der like circumstances. It is true we have remitted the tariff on Porto Rican imports but still charge the Filipinos 75 per cent of the full Ding ley schedules. In Hawaii the consti tution also does not follow the flag, according to the Supreme Court, as five of the judges so decided, though one was rather wabbly, and four of the judges were strongly of the opin ion that it did. Good Chance to Reduce Expenses. Our expensive Weather Bureau, which Farmer Wilson runs at Wash ington with the help of a large corps of so-called scientific forecasters, is entirely eclipsed as far as usefulness is concerned by a Missouri prophet who issues an almanac jn which he predicts the weather a year in ad vance. The prognostications of this seer are so much more accurate than the weather report that the next Congress should make an appro priation for almanacs to distribute to the farmers and abolish the Weather Bureau or reduce the force to a news editor to clip from the almanac, giv ing due credit of course. This would save a good many hundred thousand dollars a year and do away with the exasperating disappointments that are now inflicted on a long suffering people. The trouble is that there are a good many Republican patriots feeding at the W'eather Bureau crib and they all have more or less influ ence with a Republican Congress, and besides cutting off a useless expense is not to be thought of by this "old flag and an appropriation" adminis tration. The President's Energy. Strenuously chewing cowboy chuck, strenuously riding with the engineer, strenuously sjeeping in the snow, chasing forest fires, sitting with the stage driver and munching alkali dust, strenuously kissing babies, riding bronchos, wearing khakis, lecturing boys, breaking records, getting dirty and generally exploiting the strenu oosevelt strain of strenuosity, Mr. President demonstrated his friendli ness to the producing west and vented the surplus energy he didn't use in attacking the tariff and shackling the trusts. St. Louis Republic. Senator Hanna Is Crafty. No one can accuse Senator Hanna of not looking after all the points in the political game he is playing with the labor unions. "A press dispatch from Cleveland describing the prepar ations for the wedding of his daugh ter, Miss Ruth Hanna, carefully in forms the American people that "the trousseau will be an elaborate and costly one and will bear no foreign marks." If this delicate tribute does not catch the "walking" and other delegates, it ought to. An Encouraging Precedent. Glad news comes from Tarrytown, N. Y., where the Rockefellers John D. and William have announced their willingness to pay the taxes assessed against them. The fact that an oblig ing court had commanded the assess ors to make the figures satisfactory to the Rockefellers does not detract from the joy of the occasion. The payment of any taxes at a'li by the brethren is an encouraging precedent. Refutation Not Conclusive. Perry Heath has finally evinced a languid interest in the postal scandals long enough to announce that every body connected with the investigation is a liar. This would, of course, be conclusive if we did not remember that all the star route celebrities of twenty-five years ago said the same thing, subsequent events demonstrat ing that they were mistaken. Where Is the Difference. Singular to say, Mr. Chamberlain no sooner proclaims the blessings of pro tection for Great Britain than our own protectionists begin to sing the praises of reciprocity. Can it be pos sible that sauce for the British goose is not sauce for the American gander? The New Republican Cry. President Roosevelt- does not like a 4 a f P .- on 4 a en A 1 riv - V rather a sore spot not only in his own anatomy but in that of his party, so he has given the Republicans a new war cry the full baby carriage. The Attitude of Wall Street. Mr. Depew's hint that Wall street is not so violently opposed to Col. Roose velt after all merely confirms a sus picion which has been steadily grow ing of late. Approved by the Trusts. A loud and fervent "Amsn!" will come from the trust headararters In response to Mr. Hanna's rociferous J tianas on me taritrj 8AVED BY BRIGHT REPLY. How Smart Midshipman Got Himself Out of 8 crape. On board a man-of-war bound to San Francisco from China was a young midshipman named Walters. He was a favorite with the officers, and had in him the talent for making a fine officer. The midshipmen on board stood their watch forward, and every hour it was their duty to come aft and write up the weather columns of the ship's log. showing the readings of the barometer and thermometer and to heave the ship's log to ascer tain her sieed. The captain, in company with the officer of the deck, was walking the weather side of the deck conversing when Midshipman Walters came aft to write up the log. The barometer, a mercurial one, was hung in the cap tin's cabin, and Walters, after having read it, helped himself liberally to the captain's sherry on the cabin side board. In walking the deck the cap tain happened to glance down the cabin skylight and saw the midship man's proceedings. When Walters came up on deck to heave the log the captain addressed him as follows: "How is the , barometer, sir?" Walters saluted and said: "Stead ily rising, sir; 6teadily rising." The captain then asked: "And how is the decanter, sir?" Walters was taken aback, but with a steady voice replied: "Steadily falling, sir; steadily falling." This reply was too much for the captain, and, bursting out laughing, he said: "Young man, your bright reply has saved you from punishment; but it Is a long way to Frisco, so hereaf ter I beg of you not to consult the de canter as often as you do the barom eter." TROUBLES OF A RACONTEUR. Always Some Eyewitness to Spoil Good Story. The late John T. Crisp was a par ticipant in the battle of Westport. He liked to describe the engagement from his point of view, and he never failed to interest his auditors. A few years ago, while seated at a "round table" in a downtown cafe, he gave, accord ing to a friend, free vent to his won derful Imagination, in the presence of Richard Gentry and others who were at the scene of battle at the time it raged the fiercest. The colonel told of the way his com pany had charged the enemy, of how the Federalists were put to flight, and of how he himself had been in the forefront of the bloody battle. Gentry. who was a member of Crisp's company, finally interrupted a beautiful piece of word painting about the horrors of war by saying: "Now, colonel, you know you ran like on that day. I was running with you and you kept ahead of me until we were out of range of the Union guns. Yes, sir, you ran, sir; by gad, sir, you re treated, sir, and I retreated with you." Col. Crisp, so the story goes, calm ly looked at Gentry for a moment and then, in his most explosive manner, exclaimed: "I never told a good story in my life that some blanked eyewitness did not jump up and spoil it."

The British house of lords has long since ceased to be a strictly heredi tary body. Over 200 of its 590 mem bers owe their presence to other causes than descent. Quite a number of the hereditary lords are debarred from voting by the fact that they are either minors, undischarged bank rupts or inmates of lunatic asylums. The non-hereditary lords comprise the archbishops and bishops of the Church of England and those who have been created peers ty Queen Victoria and King Edward for special services ren dered to the crown.

When the Society of the Cincinnati was formed there was the most vehement opposition to the principles of founding here un hereditary order. There is less danger to-day of an aris tocracy of birth winning any real as cendency In this land than there was when the nation wan Just breaking away from the English tradition. But there is to-day In some quarters an unmistakable development of snob bery which lays an abHtird empnais on the clrcutnstnnto of birth. A lino of worthy ancestors is an excellent thing If any ancient virtues have been transmitted to the children. An honored nanio is an enviable posses sion when its living owner bears himself worthily. Membership In an hereditary patriotic order Is possibly an advantage so long as it inspires the member to serve his country to day in causes no lej-s holy, though maybe less heroic, than those which bis order commemorates. Other ad vantages than these birth does not confer. Philadelphia Ledger. DON'T Sl'OIt, YOt lt CI.OTITEB. Use Red Crons Ball Blue and ke them white ax snow. All grocers. 5c. a package.

The play is described as "tremendously dra matic" and would command attention aside from the interest sure to attach to any production of the royal author ess. A Youthful Bishop. The Rev. Dr. M. Edward Fawcett, the newly elected Protestant Episco pal bishop of Quincy, is one of the youngest men ever elected to the epis copate in- the American church. He has been a priest of the church only five and one-half years, having gone over from the Methodist church. Dr. Fawcett was born in New Hartford, la., November 1, 18C5. He took a the ological course in the Northwestern university, and was ordained a minis ter in the Methodist Episcopal church in 1885. He resigned his Methodist charge in 189G and was immediately appointed a lay reader of the Episco pal Church of the Redeemer at El gin, six months later a deacon, and one year later was ordained a priest and appointed rector of the same church. Wilhelm's Delicate Thought. By the kaiser's express orders a souvenir of the empress' recent acci dent has just been placed in the Kai ser Wilhelm room of the Hohenzollern museum.

But a label supplies an explanation to the query, and rer.?f thus: "The bark with which his ma jesty the kaiser in Grunewald on March 27. 1903, fastened the first tem porary bandage on her majesty the kaiserin's broken arm, until sugical aid arrived."

Hysteria sometimes leads to insaxity and should be treated through feeding the brain and nerves UDon scientific ally selected food that restores the lost delicate grav matter. Proof of the power of the brain food Grape-Nuts is remarkably strong. "About eight years ago when work ing very hard as a court stenographer I collapsed physically and then nerv ously and was taken to the State Hos pital for the insane at Lincoln, Neb., a raving maniac. "They had to keep me In a strait jacket, and I was kept In the worst ward far three months. I was finally dismissed in the following May, but did no brain work for years until last fall, when I was persuaded to take the testimony in two cases. One of these was a murder case, and the strain upon my nervous system was so great that I would have broken down again except for the strength I had build up by the use of Grape-Nuts. When I began to feel the pressure of the work on my brain and nerves I simply in creased the amount of Grape-Nuts, and used the food more regularly. "I now feel like my old self again and am healthy and happy. I am sure that if I had known of Grape-Nuts when I had my trouble eight years ago I would never have collapsed and this dark spot in my life would never have happened. Grape-Nuts' power as a brain food is simply wonderful, and I do not believe any stomach is so weak that it cannot digest this wonderful food. I feel a delicacy about having my name appear in public, but if you think it would help any poor sufferer j-ou can use it." Name given by Pos tum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
