Good From the Aldrich-Taft Tariff, j In wathcing the outworkieg of the true inwardness of the new tar iff law, let us not ignore the good that has come out of it. Through its discussion the people have come to realize that the tariff is a tax; they used to think it wasn't. They have come to realize that it is a tax which they pay themselves; they ! used to think the foreigner paid it They are beginning to see that the j workingman gets none of the ad- j vantage of protection; they used to I think he got it all. -The Public.

News, to the government envelope industry. The post-office department is sending out circulars at no cost for postage, advertising that they will furnish stamped en velopes printed with a return card at exactly the cost of the stamped envelopes without the printing. When orders are received the en velopes are printed and delivered to the purchaser by registered mail at no cost for postage. The gov ernment is furnishing these envel opes at less than the actual cost, entering into the unfair competi tion with the printers of the coun try and the'annual deficit of the de partment is growing. In order to lessen this deficit it is proposed to raise the rate of postage on news papers. Now if that isn't catching the printers "comin' and goin'," we'd like to know why. There are two bills in congress now to do away with this unjust competition against the individual, and our members of that audust bod will do a whole lot toward winning the j friendship of the country newspa- pers if they will come out flat-footed in favor of one or the other of the bills. If the government is go ing into competiton with private business concerns, it should branch out and open up a department store where everything from a toothpick to a-threshing engine could be pur chased at a little less than cost Western Publisher. Sewed Up Gauze in Patient. j burgeons who overlook a kit of tools and sew them up in a patient are liable for damages, according to a decision presented yesterday in jthe case of Russell Johnson, of ; Lockridge, la, against Doctor Char- lesE.

Ushered into the wait ing room of the head of the firm the first was given an audience. He presented his letters. "What can you do?" asked the man of millions. "I should like some sort of a clerkship." "Well, sir, I will take your name and address, and snould we have anything of the kind open will cor respond with you." As he passed out he remarked to his waiting companion. "You can go in and leave your address." The other presented himself and : a nd the collede Graduate went to work sorting scrap-iron. One week passed, and the presi dent meeting the superintendent asked, "How is the new man get ting on?" "Oh," said the boss, "he did his work so well, and .'never watched the clock, that I put him over the gang." In one year this man had reach ed the head of a department and an advisory position with the man agement at a salary represented by four figures, while his whiltom com panion was "clerk" in a livery-stable washing harness and carriages. Selected. In a Tub. We went into the Gones & McAl lister barn Friday and saw what to us was a strange sight. A horse had been backed into a stall and two straps from the halter to each stall posts held him so he could not step forward and of course the manger kept him from backing. Both front feet were in an iron tub. We asked, what next? and was told: 'The horse had punctured his foot with a nail and clay had first been put in the tub and the tub filled with water and that the clay and water would take the poison out." So that is our story. Broken Collar Bone. Snap, a hard tumble and W. D. Calvert's left collar bone was brok en and now he wears his left arm in a sling.

Evan Smith. Three Cracker Jack Tunes. "HEARTS of GOLD" March Two-rfu-p by L'Albert L'Albert's compositions are among the most successful, and de servedly so, for he has that irresis table jingle in his tunes that capti vates the most fastidious lover of light, airy music. In "Hearts of r..l,l" :ii i:e iuum yuu win uiiu a inuiiiiiceui formation of marching tempos. An inspiring, rhythmatic melody - from the smart, sprightly first movement, to the delicious, swing Quasi Sog nando movement in the trio. All in all, "Hearts of Gold" is truly a cracker-jack march. L'Albert wrote the famous intermezzos - "Cherry," "Sugar Plum," Etc. Try His New One. "HAPPY DAYS." WALTZ. H V .1 ill ian Strain-i. "Here is the waltz that will bring home the bacon" so to speak. A classy collection of waltz themes, beautifully arranged for the piano every strain is singable and catchy. i and the dreamy, grandioso move ment on page seven will, in itself, sell the number. "Happy Days" is splendid for dancing, and will no doubt, be a ball-room favorite this coming season. It is also valuable as a teaching number, and should appeal to teachers who use this class of music. We predict a bright future for this new composition by Julian Strauss. "THE ENTERPRISER." March Two-Stop by .1. Bodewalt. Lampe The 'bands and orchestras are simply raving abont this march and you will have calls for it - therefore we send it as one of our "Star" new issues. Lampe's arrangements are known the world over, and his compositions are always popular and steadily in demand. "The Enterpriser" is one of the best Marches he has written, and we are sure of it's success as a piano solo. All Published by Jerome H. Rem ic &. Co., Detroit. Mich. Jefferson's Rules of Conduct.

Six teen-year-old Robert Lutz was in Penn Treaty park when he saw James Harper, 24 years old, fall out of a catboat in the middle of the Delaware. Harper called for help and Lutz peeled off his clothes in a jiffy, swam out in the stream and rescued the man. When he got ashore he found that his clothes had been stolen. While he was hunting for them several women on the pier summoned a policeman and asked him to arrest the boy for indecent exposure. The policeman denounced the women as a pack of fools, wrapped the boy in his own coat and told him to hustle home. Miss Stella Overly has returned from Woodward, Okla.
