Carrie Nation, Smasher, Nearly All In. Mrs. Carrie Nation, whose collapse is reported, says the New * York Press, was living with her husband, David Nation, in Medicine Lodge, Barbour county. ; Kan., when she attained general! I notice by attacking Wichita sa' loons with a hatchet. She smashed bottles, kegs, glasses, j mirrors, furniture and windows, i In a short time she had a corps of hatchet women at work, ~ and Kansas liquor sellers began to worry. She extended her work to Topeka and larger places. , Thousands of columns were filled with stories of her raids. She i visited Chicago, where she was received coldly, but soon the lake-siders realized that she was much in earnest. Not only did she destroy barrooms, but also attacked nude statues, and paintings. She made one man put a sunbonnet and a Mother Hubbard on a marble nymph. In New York she caused less excitement, except in Coney Island, where she was hissed. Easterners followed her in the streets, but stayed away from her lectures. She invaded the White House in Washington and and was put out. Then she visited the senate and annoyed the ' lawmakers so much that she was fined $25. Mrs. Nation published The Smashers' Mail, in which she ran letters from sympathizers. She also printed in that paper communications from persons who criticised her, under the heading. "Letters From Hell." The saloon smasher was deeply chagrined by the fact that her son, O. O. Nation, for whom she had i bought a newspaper in Velasco, j Tex., ran a big saloon advertise a ill i f i ? merit at tne top 01 nis nrst page, j Mrs. Nation's husband got a di-: vorce. They had been married j 25 years, but she referred to her [ life with him as "only a fleeting incident." The reformer has a strong face, with a square jaw and massive forehead. She always dressed plainly, and has liked to be called "a home defender." Neither1 fines nor imprisonment ever dis-1 couraged her aggressive hostility : to barrooms. The Next Speaker. On the seventh day of March, Champ Clark, speaker-designate of the next national house of representatives, will be G1 years old, and despite Dr. Osier, the days of his greatest usefulness to the country are just dawning. He was born at Bowling Green in the good old Blue Grass State, and her common school was his earlier seat of learning. Later he attended the Kentucky university and Bethany college and the Cincinnati Law school. In 1878 he was president of Marshall college, West Virginia, having attained the honor of being the youngest college president in the country, a distinction he held for a Quarter of a centurv. In addition to his work as a college president, Mr. Clark says that his occupations have been varied, extending from his first employment as a hired farm hand in vacation times, to his service in Congress. He worked as clerk in a country store, edited a country newspaper for a while, and finally engaged steadily in the practice of law and polities, and in the latter profession, or game as they call it. he achieved his greatest distinction. 100,000 Deer Killed. The Outing Magazine has been trying for some time to secure reliable estimates as to the condition of game of all kinds in this country as regards increase or decrease and protection. Of course it is practically impossible to secure anything like an accurate census of the numbers of many kinds of game, but in some cases, notably that of deer, moose, elk, bear, sheep and goats, fairly reliable guesses can be made by game wardens and State game commissioners. In the February number space is given to the deer and the probable number in the States of Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New York, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Utah and Colorado. Letters received from the game commissioners of these States give a fairly reliable figure of the number killed during the hunting season of 1910. The number of dee 1 in these few States is approxi mately 250,000. Out of this number, for th< season of 1910, the official figure! show that about 40,000 deer wer< killed in season and probably a; many more out of season. To b< sure, these figures do not poin to any definite conclusion; beinj official they do not bear on thi cases that evade the official eye, and are often more dangerous and difficult to deal with. Tariff Revision. TVio true nrinninlp on vvViifVi u tariff should be constructed was thus stated by Thomas Jefferson in 1793: "Instead of embarrassing commerce under piles of regulating laws, duties and prohibitions, could it be relieved from all its shackles in all parts of the world, could every country be employed in producing that which nature has best fitted it to produce, and each be free to exchange with others mutual surpluses for mutual wants, the greatest mass possible would then be produced of those things which contribute to human life and human happiness; the numbers of mankind would be increased and their conditions bettered." This principle is just to all, says a writer in The National Monthly. It enables each country to use its own resources to the best advantage, and to get the benefit of the resources of other countries. Each has its own natural advantages. Commerce consists in the exchange of their respective products. This exchange is in itself a benefit. No ship subsidy can ever create commerce. That springs from the natural interchange of the products of various countries, and this is best promoted by the operation of equal laws, which may, indeed, tax trade, but tax it equitably, not for the purpose n 1 . 1 1 A 1 * A 1 /* I A 01 destroying tne traae itseii, out for the purpose of raising the revenue which is necessary to support the government.
