THEIR OWN PROPERTY

WORKING PARTNERS HAD A RIGHT TO INFORMATION. Fall River Cotton Magnates Have No Right to Feeling of “Consternation” That Business “Secrets" Have Become Known. "Consternation” and “shocked beyond measure" are among the expressions descriptive of the feelings of some of the Fall River cotton mill magnates. When the tariff board sought information on which to base the schedules for a proposed revision of the cotton rates, these Massachusetts factory owners opened their books and furnished data. They did not suppose it possible the facts .concerning their business ever would be given to the public. They assert they had no suspicion that their “innermost business secrets would be tabulated and given to the world,” Hence, when tabulation and publicity confront them, “consternation” prevails and they are “shocked tfeyond measure.” These Fall River gentlemen should take counsel of the teachings of the first principles of philosophy. What, according to the familiar arguments of the protectionists, is the foundation of the tariff idea? Why, the benefit of the workingmen, of course. ‘ The outcome of that idea is that the employers and the employed are in a partnership, the principal argument for which is the bettering of the condition of the employed. What, then, could be more logical or more proper than that the partners who do the work should be informed concerning the details of the business? If, as result of the tariff board's investigations, the working partners have secured such information, they have obtained what was theirs by right. And there should be no occasion for “consternation” on the part of the managing members of the partnership.

Can’t “Embarrass” Roosevelt.

In one of his speeches Roosevelt, in answer to a question, “Where’s Perkins?” replied: “He’s for me. You can't put a question to me that will embarrass me for a moment.” No one will dispute the truth of that statement. There are some men—and Roosevelt is one of them, by his own admission—who can not be “embarrassed” by anything. So we are nbt surprised that< t „eje*h after Mr. Taft had told the whole truth about Lorimer, and proved that he was, as he always had been, against him, and showed that he had even consulted the third termer as to the most effective way to deal with the case in the senate, Roosevelt should say: "Mr. Taft came here to explain that he did not like Mr. Lorimer, having kept his dislike private and confidential until after he lost Illinois.” A man who could say such a thing as that, in the face of proof to the contrary, is beyond the possibility of being “embarrassed,” And this is the man who refused information as to the harvester trust to the senate committee, who stopped the suit against the harvester trust, and who carted away to the White House the papers in the Steel trust case lest congress should get hold of them. He is like “the African monarch, the splendid, unabashed, unashamed,” and, we hope, “unattended.” It is true that you can not put, a question to him that will "embarrass” him. It is also true that you can not put one to him —unless you corner him as fte* man in his audience did —that he will answer.

The Third Term.

Inordinate ambition, a lust for power, a vanity so excessive that it touches the very - verge of madness, an utter contempt for the people—for Mr. Roosevelt has always entertained a profound contempt for the people, although, with the craft of the demagogue, he has ever posed as their friend and champion—and a defiance of the wisdom of the fathers of the republic and the teachings of history have combined to make Mr. Roosevelt hunger to occupy the White House for the third time. He is ambitious to be Caesar and to implant Caesarism upon the United States. To reach the cerule ehalr he has had to use the dagger of treachery and to trample upon his solemn promises. For these he cares nothing. He stabs his friend with as little remorse as he shows shame when he Is reminded of his repudiated pledge. Utterly without shame, utterly unscrupulous, utterly without conscience or sense of honor, he Is willing to do anything, to lend himself to any base plot, to resort to any falsity to become Caesar. For him the republic exists only as he can make it his personal property.— A. Maurice Low, in Harper’s Weekly.

Not Mr. Perkins’ Method.

Those who read Mr. Perkins’ statement of his contributions to campaign purposes understandingly are not likely to think he was trying to give a realistic Imitation of Mr. E. Z. Mark. Mr. Perkins did not acquire his millions or his position as a Morgan partner and director in the greatest trusts ever organized in the world, through ‘paying out money without certainty of getting value for it He has never been, to put it mildly, known as a philanthropist

Medicinal Plants

Wr AS the spring time ever linked in your mind with sulphur and medical teas? What a course of “doctoring” the ” youngsters used to get, not only in the spring but at other times! Most of those old but prized recipes had been handed down from one generation to another. They consisted largely of roots, barks, herbs and the like that could be found in the fence comers, along the roadside or in mother’s garden, and were gathered when in certain stages of growth. Has the use of these old-fashioned medicines gone not to return? No. < The old motherly practice has disappeared, but I find the same simples are used by our most mtelligent physicians and kept for sale in most drug stores. Dandelion, tansy and pokeweed are often prescribed for the same disorders that our mothers prescribed them. Oh, no, not by the old names, but under certain cabalistic characters, which the chemist understands, but the reading of which would sound learned and potent to us laymen, if patients. I have often seen near Garfield park, on vacant lots, in masses of sweet clover, many of these medicinal plants, also in the gardens and waste places on the outskirts of the city. These same simples are the bases of most of our best cough and vegetable compounds, but instead of being made from good American plants they are generally manufactured from costly imported products. Why? the citv man out of a job does not realize how monev is planted under the roots of these plants '; because the boy or girl living in the suburbs does not know how to recognize these plants except as weeds and has never been taught when to harvest them. Manv of them are pests but

still they are money-producing things if one knows how or when. Why should this and one other topic not be the subjects of occasional school talks with illustrations? A few minutes twice a week with prepared charts in place of many “frills” now used to kill rime would impart much useful information. The two topics I refer to are: 1. Simple medicinal plants, how to find and when to harvest them. 2. Insects bene£cisl to man and how to recognize them.

One Great Need for Many Large Cities

mount importance to the health and happiness of her entire population, and that is suitable public comfort stations conveniently located and distinctly prominent. 1 For neglect in this respect is the primary cause of multitudinous ailments, and among them are headache, indigestion, Bright’s disease of the kidneys, rheumatism and so forth. I do not deem it honorable for myself, as a medical man, to remain silent on this most important question. City authorities should see that public health and comfort stations be installed as rapidly as possible, designated by understandable signs, and they should advertise the locations in our public newspapers. Not more than one person in a hundred in the city of Chicago knows of our excellent, finely equipped public comfort station situated in the City hall at Washington and Lasalle streets.

Teach the Value of Many Neglected Weeds

By H. LOWATER. Chicago

During the last quarter of a century I have been watching with interest the growth and improvements made in our great city. Most of the improvements have been in sidewalks, streets, buildings, transportation and communication, all of which have been advantageous to commerce, while at the same time in a subordinate way to all the people. On the other hand, I regret to say that my observation has led me to conclude that this city, as well as many others, has been neglectful of one thing which is of para-

Tests are to be made by the Panama canal commission to determine the value of cement mortar applied to iron plates by the “cement gun” as a preservative of iron. Twelve plates 6%x14 inches have been, coated, with a one-to-three mortar of cement and sand after they were cleaned, to a gray metal by the sand-blast process. Six of these have been covered, with a half-inch coating and the remaining sir with a one-inch coat on one side and a 1%-inch coat on the other. Three plates of each kind have been

The real object in education is to cultivate in the child a capacity for self-control or self-government; not a habit of submission to an overwhelming, arbitrary, external power, but a habit of obeying the dictates of honor and duty, as enforced by active will power within the child. In child--hood and in youth it is of the utmost importance to appeal steadily and almost exclusively to motives which will be operative in after life. In too much of our systematic education we appeal to motives which we are sure cannot last; to motives which may answer for little children of
