Taking to the woods is perhaps as good a way as any to escape election dilemmas; so Vice-President Sher man retired to North Carolina instead of helping the Colonel "hit the line hard.'! One of the many Republicans who have joined the Independent Busi ness Men's League of New York is H. H. Sevler, a Broadway merchant, who'has coined a new title for tha Colbhel by calling him the "Rough Rioter". What is Mr. Roosevelt's position on the tariff? asks an esteemed sub scriber? We hate to show our ignor ance on such an important matter, but we really do not know and we question whether the Colonel him self does. What is whiskey? Well, under the decision of Attorney-General Wick ersham, just made, most anything goes. All whiskey is good; but some whiskey Is better than other whiskey according to his Republican inter pretation of the Pure Food Law. That New Jersey Republican who asked Woodrow Wilson a string of question received prompt replies, and doubtless wishes that he had kept quiet. The Republican managers of New ? Jersey say they were not re sponsible for the blamed jackass. The British Chancellor of the Ex chequer declares that the countries of the world are spending annually $2,250,000,000 upon machinery of war. The people have to pay all of this enormous sum in taxes, and they get but little benefit in the way of protection to life and property. The United. 'States is one of the worst offenders because she has no neighbor to fear. Boss Cox of Cincinnati has decid ed to remove to New York where he will be In closer touch with the Col onel; but what wlil son-in-law Long - .worth do If leR in Cincinnati to fight his own battles? However, the Wall Street sharps may "trim" Cox ?ey, old boy, and he may shake the New York dust from his feet and take up his burden in Cincinnati again before long. The Petersburg Index-Appeal says Roosevelt calls people liars, and peo ple call him a liar, and in some cases they prove it on him. There has been no more pitiable and altogether des picable spectacle in all the history of American politics than the mud slinging role, In which this ex-presi dent of the United States is appear ing. Decent Republicans, in common with other citizens, are shocked and disgusted." I At a meeting of the national guard officers in Columbia the mat ter of the payment of salaries to big officers on the rifle range who had no especial business there and other j abuses of the privilege of handling the cash that is appropriated to the use of the millitia and the mainten ance of the citizen soldiery for the protection of the puUic. were very forcefully discussed and some very plain talk was Indulged In. That the Democratic party is on a higher plane than lt3 opponent is shown by the very high character of the nominees for governors and for other hJ?h state offices and for Con gress. This is universally admitted except by the most ultra partisans. Dr. Butler, president of Columbia College, who is an ardent Republi can, admitted the superiority of the Democratic nominees, and said, "it indicates that politics will be clevat-j ed to a higher plane of principles in stead of personalities." Sort:? people have queer ideas of what constitutes a "good fellow." Not long siuce a defaulting postmas ter, who had squandered $S,000 of public money, who for month a had been a fugitive from justice, and who when caught had just a nickel left, consoled bimsolf by saying: "I've been a good fellow." Dis honesty with certain punishment awaiting him, disgrace, a fugitive from justice, and the contempt of his fellows were the heavy toll for a weeks gay life which his stolen mon ey gavo him. That man needs to re vise his stimat of a "good fellow." I A noted architect recently said ; that the time will come when Chic-J ago and other cities w, .1 be beautiful in tho extreme by virtue of what will he accomplished through a high ly trained esthetic taste and the ap plication to true scientific methods, j No dirty streets, no dust, no smoke. I no foul sights or smells, no slums, nothing but beauty, order and pros perity. That, Indeed, is a vision that everyone hopes may be realized In every place. But while waiting for it to materialize it would be just as well for everyone to keep his own premises clean. By so doing he will make present conditions better and will help forward the municipal mil lenium. I Prices Here and Abroad. While in consequence of good av erage crops, except cotton, the prices of cereals have declined, the general average of the price of all necessi ties was only one fifth of one per cent lower on October 1st than on September 1st. Bradstreet's index number shows that the average price of commodities on October 1st is the highest ever recorded for that month, and is only 3.2 per cent be low the highest ever recorded, which was on January 1st of this year, or 62 per cent higher than on July 1, 1S96. So, present prices are now a little less than 60 per cent above the low prices In 1896. If wages, salaries and incomes would all increase uniformly with prices there would be but little to complain about; but prices Increase much more rapidly than do wages aud Incomes, and that is the reason for the present business depression. People cannot buy more than they have wages to pay for, so they cut off luxuries and even some necessi ties; thus there is a lessened demand for such articles, and the manufac turers decrease production, the wholesalers buy less and so do the retailers. Whatever the reason for the disparity between incomes and expenditures, the result Is to greatly disturb business. The Democrats show that one of the chief causes of these abnormal ly high prices is the tariff protection to the trusts and combines that very generally control production of not only manufactured goods, but also many food products. The Democrat ic contention is fully bourne out by the difference in the Increase in prices in Great Britain and here dur ing the same period, as shown by the index number of the London Econ omist. The percentage of increase in the average price of commodities in England from June 1897 to Sep tember 1, 1910 has been 33 per cent. As England is virtually a free trade nation, the tariff being low and on but a few articles, the rise in prices there must be from a world wide cause, and the 27 per cent, higher prices in the United States can be fairly charged to the tariff. As England buys a great deal of food stuffs from us, the greatly in creased price of food here has in creased the price of food in England, while clothing and other necessities have been practically stable there. So, the real difference in the cost of living In protected America and free trade England is actually greater than 27 per ceat, as the figures show. If we all could buy what we now purchase for 27 per cent, less, we' could save over one quarter of our Incomes and wages, or could spend it in better living or luxur. . What "boom" times that i would make! The Crook and Jackass Club. The Colonel has organized a new club to supersede the old Ananias Club, which, as a political asset, ha3 become stale and unprofitable. The new club has been organized espec ially for "crooks and jackasses", and the Colonel has named Judge Anderson, of Indiana, as president, who, he declared, Is an adept in both characters. Other members nomi nated by the Colonel are, former Justice 'Baldwin of Connecticut, now Democratic candidate for governor; John A. Dix, Democratic candidate for governor of New York; Judge Holt; Judge Holmes, and some other Justices of the Supreme Court, witn plenty more candidates in view. All of these- have not been formally de-! clared "a crook and a jackass", but they belong to the same catogory, and an appropriate name for the club?from the Colonel's standpoint. ?'would seem to be the "Crook and. Jackass Club". All who oppose Mr. Roosevelt are crooks, and all who do not do his bidding are jackasses; so, ai to numbers, the future of the club is assured. Tariff Taxes. /Republican spellbinders, het.ded by Mr. Roosevelt, have felt compelled to misrepresent the revenue produc ed from the new tariff law. Like a lot of parrots they are all repeat- J ing the criminal delusion of the pub licity bureau of the Republican par ty that "the new tariff law has turn ed a deficiency into a surplus." Yet the Treasury Department's daily fi nancial statement shows that the ex cess of expenditure Is increasing as the fiscal year advances, though less than in 190S and 1909. The report lor October 21st. shows the deficiency since July 1st to be $25.651,987, in-j eluding tlie Panama expenditures of I $M;SG6,G54. The customs receipts for the month, and including Octo- j ber 21st, were $17.779.234, whereas for the same time in 1 909 the re ceipts were $!S,430.615. But sup posing the Republican contention were true, and that the customs re ceipts had increased enough to wipe out the deficiency of revenue, it would only show that the tariff taxes paid by the people are heavier than ever before. Touchy Wall Street. Why is it that If some eminent public man speaks on elemental hon esty Wall street begins to talk about disturbing business and the prospect of a panic? Why should an insis tence upon sixteen ounces in the pound, thirty-six inches to the yard and unwatered stocks be considered by the "vested interests" a? a men ace? Is not the threat which all I this talk of business disturbances I and panic implies a confession that I Wall street and the "interests" ar* anything but honest? The menace to business and stable conditions I comes not from men who demand I personal integrity and business hon esty but from those whosf wren;-.' I business practices make that de j mand necessary. j 'Wibat has become of Senator Jon athan Bourne and his third term for Mr. Roosevelt? Has he taken to the I Canadian woods to think it all over?

The latest sleeping cars in Tnrtia are fitted luxuriously. Like most loreif,? cars they are divided into compart ments, but a corridor runs from end to end o! the car. Each compartment contains two berths. The upper berth is of peculiarly "ingenious design, so compactly constructed that a casual observer would fail to see how It can be lowered. The compartments are large enough to accommodate the luggage that any two persons can require, and are fit ted up with all kinds of conveniences. Every ccmpartment has an electric fan under the control of the passeng ers, and of the three electric lamps one is a small night lamp that can be kept burning all night without incon venience. If a party ia too large for a single compartment, says the Railroad Man's Magazine, a sliding door connecting with the adjoining compartment can be throY.'n op-.-n. On the other hand, if the passenger desires he. can lock his doi.r, pull down his Venetian blinds and be secure from intrusion. At earh end of the coat.:', is a rocray bathroom, with a large bath half sunk in the f!.ir, the walls lined with mir rors, and equipped with e.ery imagin able sanitary device. There is also a servant's compartment. It is said that this ccach has been approved by the railway board as the standard type for India rolling stock. How a Monkey Pleaded. In Barbados the monkeys frequent ly injure the sugar cane. As a gen eral thing, however, they are inoffen sive creatures and the average "I'.nt or regards them with gcr.d-natured tolerance. Once in a u nile. now ever, they commit a little too much damage on the growing cane, and an example has to be made of one poor culprit by shooting a member of any particular troop of monkeys that may be found near the scene of destruc tion. Exposing the dead body as a warning is usually sufficient, and the cane is no longer attacked. On one accasion great damage had been perpetrated, and the planter? Clarence Agard, now residing in St. Lucy, Barbadoes?went out with his gun to act as executioner. He suc ceeded in isolating one stray simian in a tree that was detached from all adjacent shrubbery. The poor animal, realizing that it was trapped, ni3hed up to the utmost ond of the branch, and then looked in the most appeal ing manner at the man below. The latter finally raised his gun, and was on the point of pressing the trigger when the monkey suddenly took a lit tle infantile replica of itself from ita back and held it out in the most sup plicating way conceivable. The planter, who is fond\>f animals, had his heart quite touched, and he promptly lowered his gun. A com panion, however, in his endeavor to -<ee what else the poor simian would In, raided his gun, and apparently .:;ce more its life was in danger. Then ensued a most striking exhibi tion of animal reasoning. The mon :.ey at once grasped the fact that her :!rr.i claim for consideration had ap parently failed;, and the only reason'! ier intelligence could suggest for the tilure was that, tne iufant simian :as net regarded as her own genu ne offering. What was to be done? How could he convince these' two human brutes rhnt she re:/!ly was a sad and dis tressed mother? A happy thought oc stirred io her. She plucked a leaf "roni the tree, hela it close to her breast and then pressed the breast ntii a fe?v drops of milk exuded. Then she dropped the leaf, and again held up her baby to tbe gaze of the astonished men below. Needless to say, she escaped' with her lite.?Lon don Globe. Time at the North Pole.
