Tariff Ripping.
Whatever uncertainty the country
may feel over tariff reform, now that
It knows an oxlra session will be
called for that purpose, must bo as
to the measure and more than the
fact of tho revision. And It has the
word of Prosldent-elect Wllscn, him
self, as assurance against radical or
disturbing chanRos. In his speech of
acceptance iHst July, Governor Wil
son, It Is true, said as to tho tariff:
There should be Immediate revision,
and It should bo downward, unhesitat
ingly and steadily downward.
Hu Just before that ho had said:
We do not Ignore the fact that thn
business of a country like ours Is ex
ceedingly senMtlvc to changei In legisla
tion of this kind. It lins hern built up,
however lll-advlscdly. upon tariff celled-
ules written In the way I hove Indicated i
aiu its foundations must not be too
radically or too suddenly disturbed.
Heforo that In dealing with gen
eral conditions ho said In the same
speech:
We need no revolution; we need tpo ex
cited change; wo need only a new point
of view and a now method and spirit of
councl.

even allowing for pressuro from par

changes, whatovor they arc, come.
Macedonia.
For ages the pawn of conflicting
powers, Macedonia passed under Tur
kish dominion In the fifteenth cen
tury, losing Its distinctive entity.
Slnco then its name has conio into
soparato uso only In description of
tho recurring struggles wagod upon
Its soil. Turkey's cohiploto loss of
this land now, thoroforc, Is most sig
nificant of Kb gradual conquest at
tho hands of tho alllod Balkan states.
Tho disposition 6f Macedonia In the
division of tho spoils of battle bo
comcs a matter of Intonso Interest,
not. however, becauso thero is prob
ability of Its being restored to na
tional distinction.
History describes tho Macedonians
originally as a Grecian trlbo, with a
Crook dialect, but tho population
today consists chiefly o Slavs, com
posed largely of Hulgnrlans and
Sorbs tho former predominating,
with sprinklings of Turks, Greeks
and Albanians. Tho nnxloty of
Grecco and Bulgaria to annex tho
territory has for years constituted
tho so-called Macedonia problem of
eastern ICtiropo and ceased but llttlu
to vex tho powers. It Is but natural,
thoroforo, that Oroeco and Bulgaria
will bo tho chief contenders for this
valuable trophy of war when the
tlmo comes for tho partition.
Tatronizinglfome Industry.
Tho simplest way to build up homo
Industry Is to patronize It. Tho
Made-ln-N'obrasku show to bo Ib In
lino with tho Immodlnto nooda of n
growing metropolis and stato and
should rccolvo tho fullest co-operation
posRlblo. It Is dcslrablo that;
our people In all parta of tho stato
learn all they can In advunco about
tho details of thla oxposltlpn and help
make It a markod success. That, of
courso, will not of Itself build up our
home industries; that will bo homo
patronage on dress parade, but if
properly followed up tho plan should
mark an Impetus to the end sought.
Twenty years ago Tho Boo promo-
tod n homo industry campaign with
oxcollent results, it was first odu
catlonal In Us offocts, which, wo feel
sure, have never boon lost upon our
city and state. Tho time warrants
another moro comprehensive cam
palgn of this sort, ono that will con
tinue permanently by Its own mo
mentum. Our stato Is progressing In
manufacturing as well as In Its agri
cultural supremacy faster than wo
realise, but Just hero Is whoro con
ststont patronage of home industries
Is callod for.
Bath Tub Trust Decision.
Kvldently tho Tnft administration
has achieved a most notable victory
for tho country In tho. Bupromo
court's decision against tho Dath Tub
trust, annulling tho pernicious
"llconso ngreoments," and laying
down tho broad principle that unpa
tented products of patented devices
nro not subject to monopolization. In
this It deals n fatal blow to viola
tions of the anti-trust statutes under
guise of protection of the patent
laws.
It Ib of additional interest to nolo
tho assertion of ono of tho govern
ment's special prosecutors to the of
feet that Blnco the bath tub combina
tion was dissolved by tho filing of
this action its prices havo fallon from
26 to 40 per cent and that without
restricting production or trado, for,
hu declares, today nearly all the
manufacturers engaged in this Indus
try aro operatlug their plants over
time. If this ia true, tangible proof
of the direct benefits obtained for
the public by Mr, Taft's consistent
prosecutions of Illegal combinations
prosecutions that have been con
ducted without tho blare of trumpet,
and In the face of persistent misrep
resentation.

The provisions of O. 6. 16. from the
War department, have attracted consid
erable attention throughout tho military
service. Some of the commanding of
ficers have been discussing to what ex
tent, for example, they must personally
fit tho shoes to tho feet of their enlisted
men, ns is one of the obligations com
municated by this new requirement. Tho
order Is regarded as . acUtely scientific
and probably goes Into the subject w 1th
a thoroughness which has characterized
no other official document on this or
any kindred subject In the history of
official publications. On this particular
subject ,tho thoroughness Is due to the ad
mirable work performed by a board of
army officers, which made an exhaus
tive study with many practical experi
ments concerning the style of shoes to
be worn by tho soldier. It was In con
nection with tho requirements of this
order that the surgeon general's office
of the War department gave Instructions
this Week for the purchase of 30,009 cans
of standard foot powder to be used in
connection with adhesive plaster, quan
tities of which are already In stock at
the medical depots, both of which articles
will be supplied by (he depots' on tho
requisition of medical officers.

enjoy reasonable electric light and gas
rates If ono or all the papers wouia om

moro than "moro cars" and result In tho
necessity for more cars yet.
However. It should bo noted, regarding
Mr. Wattles' letter, that, while most of
what ho said was satisfactory to date,
tho truth only partly told Is, ns usual,
"somo misleading." Tho cars In nil cities
aro badly crowded during certain hours,
hut that condition Is only permitted and
excusable after tho railway company haa
done Its utmost by running as many cars
ns can safely operate on tho tracks, and
oven then the public Is not required "to
grin and bear It," for elevated roads and
subways are built at enormous expense
to relieve the situation, and that is prog
ress and that Is as other cities really

mark tho beginning of a fixed purpose
to as quickly as possible get rid of the

our streets In regular order from cost to
west to the city limits and thus termi

who comes to visit us. If this cannot be

qnarlermaaler'a Uniform.
The chief of the quartermaster corps
haa under consideration his recommenda
tions, shortly to bo submitted, concern
ing the uniform and Insignia of the
newly organized corps. It Is General
Aleshlre's idea that the insignia of the
former quartermaster's department shall
be retained as the insignia of the en
larged quartermaster's corps, and that It
shall be worn by all officers, whether
those of tho permanent personnel of the
former three supply departments now
comprising the quartermaster's corps or
line officers derailed for duty In the
corps. This is regarded as a sufficient
mark of designation or Identification.
Borne consideration has been, given to, the
adoption of a special uniform for officers
of tho corps, at least for those who will
cornDose Its permanent personnel. Qen-
.roi Aieshlre believes that individual
economy should bo allowed to control the
situation. It Is probable thsTt he will
suggest as the uniform of the quarter
master's corps that worn by officers of
the former quartermaster's department,
but that the permanent officers who were
fnrmerlv of the subsistence and pay de
partments shall bo permitted to wear tho
uniform of their old corps. Tne onicers
who aro detailed from the line will, as
now, wear the uniform of their respective
arms. Alt of them, as has been stateu.
will have uniformity of Insignia. In
other respects, among officers of the
quartermaster corps will be worn seven
different uniforms. This decision will be
received with satisfaction, since It re
duces the 'change In uniform on account
of the qew corps to a minimum indi
vidual expense.

railway subject. prmlt an old traveling
man to express his vlows.
Having traveled through nnd ove-thirty-two
states lj this union and rldder
op the street cars of tho large cities Ir
all that territory many times. I can un
reservedly say to the peoplo of Oman
that thoy should be proud of their publl
utilities and the service they render
especially your street car system service
I can say without fear of contradic
tion by any fair minded Investigator thai
the Omaha street railway system Is the
most offlclent. most careful and with the
least loss of time In serving the public
of any Jlko service In the large cities of
this country.
I am not in tho employ of any street
Railway company, nor do I sell anything
they use or' consume, and only Wish to
be. fair. Though I am only a short time
resident of Omaha. I .frankly say I
am proud of Its street car service.
Thero Is only one thing to critlsjzp In
my Judgment, and that Is In the power of
tho city council to regulate. That I, no
car should bo permitted to pass another
car whllo taking on or letting off pas
sengers. Tho closest call I ever had from acfl
dent to life and limb bas been by this
means, brought very close upon mo right

Oh, pumpKln pie!
Athwart thy faco
An hundred fancies may I trabef
I see the glint of summer sun:
And twilight, when tho day Is done:
The sober peace of musing cows
Who In the mendow grosses browse;
Tho radiant glory of tho morn '
Thnt sweeps acrof.i the nodding corn.
A thousand happy fancies start
When thou art nestling near my heart!
Oh, pumpkin pie!
I hear tl)e breete
That whispered In the maple trees
"I see the swaying fields of wheat
And low across the land nt night
1 catch that ballad of delight
The chant the cricket sings In glee,
And summer comes again to me! 1
Oh, pumpkin pie! Thus dot thou cost
Thy Joyous glamour o'er the past!
Oh, pumpkin pie!
Within thy breast
Theso gladsomo summer fancies rest
The golden sunshine and the dew
Havo paid their tribute through an
through: . ,
Tho song the lark trilled in tho air
Within thy form is echoed there:
And all theso things ot Joy to mo
AVero caught and firmly held by thee.
Oh, pumpkin Pie! Thanks, for all thou
didst!
I welcome thee unto my midst!
