TEDDY S VISIT TO THF. UNKNOWN.
Jcffcr-oii Toutnbs in Harper',- Weekly.
I dreamed 1 «1 reached the other shore
1 he one where we receive
What punishment may lie in store
l or tailzied webs we weave.
Likewise w here we are given joys
For good de< ds we have done—
When suddenly a jarring noise
Exploded likea gtin.
"I was Theodore who had arrived ;
lie stood and looked about,
rhe spirits swarmed like bees uuhived
To learn what made him shout.
St. Peter met him at the gate
With countenance austere.
"<iood morning," Teddy said "But
wait!
Please telt me who's inhere."
St. Peter showed him then the list.
And Teddy looked it o'er;
He bent his brows and clenched his fist
And then launched forth a roar;
How dare you have that man inside?''
Rndit in St Peter's ear.
He yelled. "You knew I'd said he lied !
He should not be In here!''
Then other names of other men
He found upon the page;
Again, again and yet again
He rumbled forth in rage:
" How dare you let such persons in?
You know upon the Karth
I charged them with all forms of sin
And showed what they were worth!
'•Justput them out at once, or I
W ill not come in at all!"
St. Peter hove a gentle sigh
And stepped inside the wall
And closed the gate and called : "Too
bad,
But our list you cannot fix.
So far in Heavun we've not had
But once, some politics."
Then Theodore went further down ;
Mephisto met him there,
A hesitant and nervous frown
Showed in the ruddy glare.
'•Here," said Mephisto, "you just take
This brimstone and a match
And go t>ut there beyond the l?ke
And give that match a scratch
And start a hades of your own,
Because, the truth to tell,
If I can't run tny place alone
' know it would be hell!"
SHRINKING SAVINGS.
Nothing shows more clearly the
strain on the resources of the people,
caused by the increased cost of liv
ing, than the shrinkage of savings re
ported l>y the Savings Banks. High
prices— caused by tariff protection,
which fosters trusts and combination
and creates monopoly —if they do not
in every case force the withdrawal
of savings, certainly prevent adding
to the store. Those who have been
self-denying enough to save will rarely
spend their savings except through
an extreme necessity. What a crime
it is, therefore, to tax necessities—
that should be free —to enable the
protected few to profit at the ex
pense of the many !
This high protected—tariff tax is
a two-edge sword. It decreases im
portation that would compete with
the products of our trusts and com
bines, and allow the price of home
products to be increased nearly to the
same level as the imported articles.
If the tariff tax were reduced, the
price at which imported articles could
be sold would be relatively lower;
and to preserve their trade, the home
manufacturer would have to also re
duce the price of their products.
The protectionists declare that to
reduce the tariff on manufactured
products would make paupers of the
workmen employed liecawse they
would have to compete with the
pauper labor of Europe and else
where. But experience in England
shows that since the free trade era
began, the wages for all kind of labor
have risen over 100 per cent, and the
government savings banks have more
deposits year after year.
Then, there is further experience
of Germany and France since those
countries adopted high protection
as their policy; commodities have
so advanced in price that their is
great unrest among the workingmen
and those with small salaries, de
mands are being made to reduce the
tariff taken, which, as in the United
States, protect the manufacturers at
the expense of the consumers.
One can hardly wonder, therefore,
that with savings decreasing and the
price of necessities continually in
creasing there is a strong trend to
ward Democracy, which stands for
tariff for revenue instead of tariff for
protection.
Swiss Make Watch Dial of Growing Flowers.
A watch that keeps excellent time,
though its dial is made entirely of
growing flowers, was presented to
President Fallieres of France on
a recent visit to Bern, Switz
erland, one of the centers of
the watch-making industry of the
world. It has l>een placed in the
garden of the Elysee palace. The
dial is six feet in diameter and is a
mass of violets, anemones, pansies
and asters. The hands are long
beds of beautiful blossoms of a dif
ferent color from the face of the
clock, and the Roman figures are of a
still different color. All the flowers
are growing in boxes of fine mould.
The movement is one of the most
famous of Swiss manufacture, and
the mechanism has been so delicately
balanced that its makers declare it
will keep time with the accuracy of a
chronometer.

Judge Ronald, of Seattle, on being
asked by the attorneys for Clara
Townsend, a negress who pleaded
guilty to petit larceny, to suspend
sentence, replied: "leant doit.
She is over 21. If I have power to
suspend sentences indiscriminately,
then I have the same power as the
Czar of Russia, and it isn't right."
Hail, Judge Rouald, of Seattle,

There is sadness and sorrow in
Ross land. 15. C. The famous Le Roi
mine which has made many million
aires, and provided working men
with homes, has been ordered sold.
It was the blue-ribbon producer, and
many a tale for writers it has in
spired. The high-grade ore has
failed, and the ore which is in sight is
of too low a grade to pay expenses
of operating the old mine, hence it is
for sale.

Mrs. Taft, wife of President Taft,
made her first public appearance,
since she was taken ill a year ago, in
in Washington, D. C., recently, at a
session of the world's Sunday School
association. President Taft intro
duced her as the "real President of
the United States." This is not a
bit startling. Thousands of people
over all the United States have
thought right along that William
Howard Taft was not President of
the United States, in fact —only a
figurehead.

Mrs. Ballinger, wife of Secivtery
Ballinger, on her return to Seattle
in an interview said: "I expect to
remain here until November. Mr.
Ballinger will come to Seattle as
soon as Congress adjourns and he in
tends to spend his summer here.
Probably he will have to return to
Washington earlier than 1!" It
would be just awfully lovely and nice
if Mr. Ballinger could arrange, some
how or another, not to go back —his
wife, seemingly, could probably at
tend to his business "Just as well, if
not better." Ye gods ! and a man is
supposed to be the head of his house
hold !
* * *
One hears so much aliout forging
to the front, taking time by the fore
lock, seizing the bull by the horns,
and so on, that the tail hold is en
tirely ignored. Nine men who wise
ly follow succeed where one does
chauging around all the time. If you
miss the forelock, seize the tail. It
is the hanging on more than the par
ticular hold that counts. The man
will go as far, or nearly as far, who
holds to the tail as the one hanging
oir the horn, b<>sides he can hoid bet
ter and is in less danger. The
young man should cot be too
anxious to get to the front, but hang
on to what he has, and he will get
ahead in the world just as rapidly as
he deserves.

The Seattle Times, not so very
long ago. contained an article headed:
" Accuracy Not Essential When M.
E. Hay Talks," which closes with the
following paragraph:
"There is another curious voucher and
one that opens the way fir deserving
newspa|>er proprietors to gpt a portion of
the tax money they pay to the State. A
vnnclier on file from the executive of
fices shows that Hay made the State
pay fo 50 for a year's subscription to the
Tribune, of Everett. Official records in
dicate that the other State papers were
discriminated against."
So the Tribune, of Everett, is the
only paper the State subscribe for?
What do the publishers and pro
prietors of " the other State papers"
think about the matter? Why
should th£ State subscribe for the
Tribune, of Everett, only?
There should be a reason. The
publishers and owners of all other
newspapers in this State should de
mand the reason from M. E. Hay as
to why he subscribed in the name
of the State to the Tribune of Everett,
thus as the Times article states, dis
criminating against other State pa
pers.
" There is a reason."
What is it?
* * *
Morrison, 111,, has an ordinance
which prohibits any saloonkeeper
ejecting a man who is intoxicated
into the street; and makes it also the
saloonkeeper's duty "to take good
care of the intoxicated person until
he is perfectly sol>er, and that a
place shall l>e provided for him to
sleep." This reads well at first, but
let's see about it. Suppose it makes
no difference to the City. Council of
Morrison, 111., if the "drunk" spend
ing all his money in the next saloon
above wanders out about closing
time and enters a saloon wherein he
has never been before, nor spent a
nickel; yet the proprietor of the]
place must take "good care" of him,
and "provide for him a place to
sleep." Ugh! Probably the City
;Council of Morrison, 111., will, ere
long, frame an ordinance requiring a
merchant to loan a man who patron
izes and deals exclusively with the
storekeeper (his rival in business)
across the street, money to buy
goods from him. Just as much sense
in it. The saloonkeeper pays a li
cense to sell liquor, and as long as ho
is allowed to do so, his busim ss is
just as legitimate, legally, as any
other industry which a city may
license, and is entitled to fully
as much protection, and why he
should take care of a "drunk" who
has never once patronized him is a
conundrum for the City Council of
Morrison, 111., to answer. About the
only object in life with some mem
bers of a town Council is to frame
some freak ordiuance which will not
affect their private business but in
jures the business of others. These
sort of Councilmen are thick in
every city, at times, but after a
while are found out by the j»eople
and are kindly tucked in, by votes, to
the political graveyard of ' has
l>eens."
How to Handle Apples—Problem for the
Railroads.
The increasing production of ap
ples in the Northwest has furnished
a problem which the great railway
systems centering in St. Paul will
have to solve. Howard Elliott,
President of the Northern Pacific,
also President of the Nationll Apple
Show, held for the third time in Spo
kane, Nov. 14 to lit, in his opening
address, discussed the question from
various standpoints.
Despite the fact that thousands of
new trees have been planted and the
1909 crop of apples in the Yakima
Valley, Washington, the Hitter
Hoot Valley, Montana, the Wenat
chee district on the Great Northern
in Oregon and the various apple dis
tricts in Idaho is the largest for seve
ral years, the demand for apples and
the new markets opened in all parts
of the world will take every apple
raised.
It is the getting of these apples tu
market with which the railroads are
concerned. American apples are al
ways at a premium in Europe. Far
away Egyptians have taken to the
fruit and want all they can get of it.
Australia on the other side of the
gloln* has a growing appetite for this
country's apples. In our own coun
try where the apple is regarded as
the most health-giving of fruits the
demand is increasing and thus the
railroads find themselves facing the
problem of transporting the fruit.
One of the new ideas to be suggest
ed by President Elliott is the erec
tion in the great producing districts
of apple storage houses. He will
recommend that the apples instead
of being picked from the trees and
rushed to the cars, be placed in these
storage houses where they will be
precooled. It has l»een found that
precooled apples keep better and
taste better than those that are
cooled in refrigerator cars while in
transit.
There are other advantages in this
plan of storing the apples near the
orchards in which they are grown.
It is believed, for one thing, that the
grower will be able to get a better
price for his product by holding it
and shipping when market condi
tions are improved. The grower
also will have more tirno for hand
ling his crop and will not have to
rush it to the trains.
The apple production in the Yaki
ma Valley this year will amount to
3.200 cars and it has been estimated
that the establishment of new or
chards in this district alone will
mean the production of 15,000 car
loads at the end of five years. The
output of the other districts will be
proportionately large.
The Northern Pacific railway has
found it necessary to run solid re
frigerator trains of 35 cars each on a
91-hour schedule from points in the
Yakima Valley to St. Paul, which is
almost passenger-train speed. It is
doubtful if any railroad in the coun
try has 15,000 refrigerator cars that
can be used for the hauling of a
single commodity at a certain time
in the year. It is to avoid meeting
such an emergency that Mr. Elliott
will recommend that the apple
grower hold his fruit in storage
houses and ship it as the demand
comes instead of rushing the whole
crop to the East where it is placed
in storage and held to the advantage
of the jobber.
The United States Reclamation
Service now has under way the re
clamation of hundreds of thousands
of acres of land, much of which will
be devoted to orchards in the next
few years. Pears, grapes and other
fruits, of course, wiil be grown, but
the apple will remain king, and it is
to get the fruit into the mouth of the
people that the railroads aim. The
work of the government is supple
mentary to that of many private in
dividuals and corporate irrigation
enterprises that aggregate other
enormous acreages and expenditures.
In Montana, it was recently esti
mate!, about 1 acres were
under irrigation by private com
panies and individuals. In Idaho,
Washington and Oregon, in the
Ijewiston-Clarkston, Columbia River,
Walla Walla, Spokane, Yakima and
OTHER valleys the same story is true.
Consequently it may readily lje seen
what the railroads will have to con
tend with when thousands and
thousands of new trees begin to pro
duce apples and pears and many new
vineyards yield their grapes. There
is no fear of overproduction, as it is
certain that the new markets and in
creasing demands will take care of
every apple that can be grown.
(■rain, alfalfa and sugar beet pro
duction in the great Northwest is
also increasing and the railroads
must handle these crops. The num
ber of cars that will be necessary to
handle this increased production is
beyond the power of man to estimate,
and President Klliott will urge upou
the apple growers that it will be to
their advantage to help the railroads
to solve the great problem that cen
fronts them.
The Great Sometimes Err.
En. STANDARD:
Human nature seems much the
same the world over. I am often
surprised at the inside history of
some of our most distinguished men.
We have always considered Thos.
Jefferson a fit model for our boys to
emulate, and yet he was guilty of
some glaring secret faults, as the fol
lowing extract from the American
Slave Code of about 400 pages will
show. This code-was compiled by
\\ illiam Goodell in '53. It is a sort
of synopsis or compendium of all leg
islation touching the subject of chat
tel slavery in the United States.
The author on page 375 says:
" Look then at the dying Thomas
Jefferson, penman of the Declaration
that all men are created equal,'
now penning a clause in his last will
and testament, conferring freedom
on his own enslaved offspring, so far
as the slave code permitted him to do
it, supplying the lack of power by
' humbly' imploring the Legislature
of Virginia to confirm the bequests,
'with permission to remain in the
State, where their families and con
nections are' —then dying under the
uncertainty whether his requests
would be granted, or his children
sold in the rice-swamps! One of his
daughters, it seems, was afterwards
sold at auction to New Orleans at
the harem price! And his grand
daughter was colonized to Liberia
coerced perhaps by the cart-whip.
This is not written to disparage the
great name of Jefferson who is hon
ored as the greatest statesman of the
age, but simply to show that great
men have their faults as well as oth
ers. The father of the Declaration
of Independence, was also the father
of a number of mulatto children, a
result perhaps of surrounding con
ditions. J. C. Co 9.

"It is easy to see that the baby

" Also," cut in his wife, as the kid
set up a howl for his noon-dry meal,
" he goes after the bottle about as
often as you do."
Mrs. Nupaw did all the talking for
the rest of the evening.

She will run the scales to suit her
self." Guardian —"She inherited
that from her father. He was twenty
years in the coal business."
" THIC poet tells us that' good-bye'
is always hard to say," remarked
the sentimental girl. "It may be,"
replied her pa, with a sly wink at ma,
" but it seems to me that 4 good
night' is the hardest of all to say."
" Why—why so, pa?" " Well, I no

young man who was here last even

MAKING CINEMATOGRAPH PICTURES
It is only just over a dozen years
since Edison first introduced his
kinetograph, by means of which the
first moving pictures were produced.
A few experts prophesied a great fu
ture for the invention, hut the ma
jority, while conceding that the
motion pictures were novel and in
terestihg, were convinced that there
was not much in the idea. Kven
those who had faith in the invention
could scarcely hive imagined that,
in the course of ;i dozen years, peo
ple would be paying tens of thou
sands of dollars every day to see
moving pictures at the thousand-and
one picture palaces which have
sprung up all over the world, or
that a couple of prize-fighters would
share between them close upon $125,-
000—as Johnson and Jeffries did re
cently for allowing moving pic
tures of themselves to be taken dur
ing the contest for the championship
of the world.
No fewer than ten cinematograph
cameras were perched round the
ring while the tight lasted. During
the fifteen rounds expert operators
worked on relays, and secured 30,-
000 feet of films for the moving pic
ture shows. The first exhibition of
these pictures was given in New
York, full theater prices being
charged —that is. from a dollar to
two dollars a seat. It is said that
Mr. Oscar Haimnerstein made an
offer of #20,000 for the first use of
the films hi New York, and some
bids for State rights reached $50,-
000. No wonder Johnson and Jef
fries got such a huge sum for their
share in the business.
Of course these pictures are of
exceptional interest, in view of the
world-wide interest created by the
fight; but as an illustration of the
enormous popularity of moving pic
tures, it might be mentioned that
many big companies have built spe
cial theaters arid keep big stock com
panies of actors and actresses, in or
der to prepare what are called "story
pictures." Enormous sums are spent
in their preparation.
Some time ago. for instance, a
certain company issued a series of
pictures depicting the history of
Nero. The photographs were taken
in Italy, and six months were oc
cupied in preparing for them. Over
four hundred people were employed
in acting the parts, and in the scene
of the burning of Rome model houses
were built up exactly to scale, and
then set alight. Altogether, the
production of the complete films cost
nearly $5,000.
Another company purchased a con
demned house for the price of the
building material, and then arranged
for the fire brigade to come and put
it out while thrilling rescues were
performed by the trained acrobats
of the stock company. In another
case the branch line of a certain rail
way was hired in order that a '* head
on" collision might bo arranged, and
a striking series of pictures was the
result.
There is a constant demand for
new ideas for moving pictures on the
part of cinematograph companies,
$lO or S2O being paid for a plot or
even for an idea for a series of pic
tures. The actual taking of the pic
tures occupies but a few minutes. It
is the rehearsing and arrangement
of the various scenes which occupies
Ihc most time, for everything has
to be done just as though it were an
actual play before an audience.
The Pork Barrel.
" I'm glad they're going to take
the pork barrel out of Congress."
said Mrs. Bliggins, who had just re
turned from the ladies' class in cur
rent events.
" Indeed?" said her husband.
" Yes: members of Congress may
not be able to economize on their
lunches so easily, and they'll give
more thought to the cost of living."
MR. Sunns (after engaging cook)
" There's one other thing I suppose
you should know, Miss Flannigan;
"my wife is a chronic invalid, con
fined to her room." Miss Flannigan
—"Thot's fine! I wor afreed she
moight be one iv thim chronic kick

PROTECTING THE FARMER
\\ hat has caused the State of
lowa to decrease 7,082 in population
since 1900? Secretary Wilson has
told us that the tariff is making the
farmers prosperous, and yet thous
ands have moved away from this
prosperity to seek other and more
inviting fields. Is it |><>ssil>lc that
the bleak prairies of Northwestern
Canada where corn will not ripen,
offer better prospects for suc
cessful farming than the rich lands
of Iowa?
The fact is. Secretary Wilson is
mistaken and the farmers know it,
else why their intense demand for
real tariff revisions. The only lowa
farmers that the tariff helps are those
who raised sheep; for they benefit by
the tariff of 12 cents ]>er pound on
wool. But there were in 1909 only
747,000 sheep in lowa (see year-book
of the Department of Agriculture, p.
730). and the number is decreasing:
for according to the same authority
there were 8(H),000 sheep of shearing
□ge in 1903 (see page 732), which
shows a reduction of 35.000 in one
year.
In these same official statistics,
the price on the farm appears to he
declining; for in 1908 the average
price in the United State is quoted
at $3.88 per head, while in 1909 the
price had declared to $3.43 (see p. 729)
This does not indicate that the
farmers are getting their share of
the prosperity which the Republicans
assure us is due to the protective tar
iff. Even their sheep and wool on
which they are protected do not seem
to be adding to their prosperity; and
nothing else than wool is the lowa
farmer really protected by the tariff.
The price of wool has declined since
the passage of the new tariff law, al
though the very high protection on
wool and woolen was not changed.
At St. Louis, the highest price
reached in January, 1908, for best
tub-washed was 33 cents per pound;
while during December of the same
year the price fell to 28 cents per
pound. There are no later govern
ment statistic published, but the
Daily Hatte at Quincy Illinois, No
vember 4, 1910, in its market reports
of the price of hides and and wool
says: " Wool —Although prices are
now advancing just yet, the market
is toning up. There is a better dc
inend and the general feeling is
" Bright wool —21 to 23c per p<sund;
Clothing wool—lß to 20c per pound.;
Western and inferior grades—l 6to
19c per pound."
While tho lowa farmer has been
having good crops and getting good
prices for them during the past few
years, the cost of living has advanced
over 60 per cent with him as with
every dollar in the cities, and those
who have rented farms have had
their rent raised as the price 01 land
increased. These lowa farmers who
have immigrated—probably mostly
tenants —have evidently not l»een
very prosperous, or they would not
leave their homes and their neighbors
and their friends to go to new count
ries and begin all over again with all
the hardships of frontier life. No
wonder that in lowa, and in all the
Western states where similar condi
tions prevails, there has been a gen
eral demand for tariff revision down
ward ; for it is very evident that pro
tection does not protect the fanner,
but plunders him.
