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.

LUXURIOUS SLEEPING CARS.
Those !r. Indi? to.Have Bathrooms and
Other Conveniences.
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
