Tariff Revision Pro tu pram. It comes more or less authoritatively from Washington that there will be no further talk of tariff revision ?t this time. That decision is In accordance with sound common sense. Tho country Is at the present time at the height of prosperity and It would be folly to undertake to revise the tariff at such a time. That there are some schedules which might be changed and which ought to be changed may be admitted and is admitted by all. That has never been the question at any time. No one can be such a foo! as to contend that any taxation seheme is perfect. The tariff is in its very nature one of the most complicated com prom i.-es In our national enactments. And it Is because of taese complications and compromises that many people have honestly opposed any tariff changes or tinkering at this time, fearing that more harm thi n good would come from such a procedure. Among the men who have so believed bas been President Roosevelt himself. He has, of course, not taken direct issue with the hasty tariff reformers, but the absence of the tariff question from his message has been Indication enough as to this pmpose and position on his part In com ersatlons with Senators and Representatives he ha? at no time omitted to express himself as opposed to opening up so large a question while o many other issues were on the tapis. He has all the time desired the unfinished business to be disposed of lirat More than a year ago he stated to som? members of Congress that he did not seek and did not want a general tar IT revision during his term as President. He was satisfied tho tariff schedules could be Improved In places, but h; watalso satisfied that it was very doubtful whether the resulting fenetits such revision would outweigh the incidental disturbances to' business. Those who ha7e represented the President as would-be tariff reformer have all the lime misrepresented him. According to theni he was always about to come out for such a program, but message after message has been sent, to Congress without the mention of the tariff. Bat still they have claimed that he was a tariff reformer aid reviser. The postponement of tariff revision until 1909, that Is until after the presidential election of 1903, will meet, we believe, with the approbation of nearly II Republicans'. To undertake tariff revision now would be a most disastrous proceeding, not merely from a party standpoint although that la nt unimportant but from a financial and Industrial standpoint It will be easier and create less disturbance If done Immediately after the next presidential election. When It Is done at that time the new tariff cannot be made an Immediate and bitter political issue, but the new schedules can be put Into effect with the least disturbance. The conditions of the untry In the meantime may undergo serious changes and this program on the tariff will have to be Tarled accordingly, but the fact that there Is to be no revision until then will In itself be an Important factor In the continuance of our present high prosperity. The agreement reached in Washington Is one of the best assets In car continuance In prosperity. It Is to be hoped that there will be no Republican dissent to this program. The agreement is satisfactory to the business Interests, and the politicians ought to see It In that way. Cedar Rapids Republican. Defend the President. The Wall Street Journal Is an . able and fearless advocate of President Roosevelt end his administration. As It says, It holds lo retainer for tho President recognizes the limitations of his genius and laments his occasional mistakes. But It declares his policy toward the big corporations is calculated to pacify the unrest and prevent business reaction. In another column Is an article from the Journal calling the New York Sun to account for Its vicious assaults upon the President and expressing the belief thlj course Is pursued because back of the Sun are arrayed powerful Interests which are determined to destroy Mr. Roosevelt's popularity who has dared to call to account corporations guilty of criminal practice'. The Wall Street Journal is supposed to represent the great money center of the country, but It Is dominated by a spirit of justice and good common sens? which make It independent In expression and powerful In Its Influence. The Blade believes the Journal Is .right la Its contention that the President Is the guardian of the rights of property, "because he has sought to remove those wrongs In the use of wealth which. If permitted to f-xtend theinelves, would have been the excuse for demagogism . and the motive for socialism -Toledo Blade. Shonld Goen Aaraln. The Democrats of Wisconsin have presented a platform which holds that "the tariff duty should be levied for the purposes of revenue," and favors "plactog on the fre list any commodities now supplied by trusts or monopolies." This means free trade. A tariff for revenue means nothing else. England has a tariff for revenue, and England 1 a free trade country. If their object wms to name a platform which the national convention of 1908 would accept ms a model the Wisconsin sages should fness again. Dubuque Globe-Journal. Commercialising; Cupid.

VETERANS AND PENSIONS.

A Recent I.enrltlat 1 ve Event Which Mark nn Epoch. A recent legislative event marks an eiioch in the treatment of the surviving Union soldiers of the Civil War and the , survivors also of the Mexican war. i After a debate of two hours the Senj ate, without a dissenting vote, passed a service pension bill for soldiers over tte agu of 02, beginning at the rate of $112 a month, to be Increased to $15 at the age of 63, and $20 at the age of 70. This is a material advance over the present rates, and also more directly recognizes age alone as a conclusive claim to pension, to be obtained without any payment to pension agents. A man of U2 was but 20 when the Civil War ended, so the new rule will apply to nearly all survivors who wore the blue uniform in the great conflict. It is an act of Justice and of honor where it is due. The maximum allowed means that men who offered their lives at the call of the government, and who saved from disruption what has become the first of nations, shall not lack the means of simple subsistence in their declining days. A few years hence all will have answered the last muster except the few who live to a phenomenally old age, and who will be objects of devoted homage mingled with pride over the memory of the grateful appreciation by the government of Its defenders, without whose aid the story of the republic would be traced In the dust of the past, not in the unmatched present, glowing with wonders achieved and In prospect, In the year that endjd June 30 last 30,000 pensioners died, and for the first time since the Civil War the decrease in the pension roll exceeded the Increase. Though the whole number of pensioners is but little below 1,000,000, but two-thirds are Civil War veterans, and the mortality in their ranks this year will scarcely fall below 40.000. It Is to the remnant of a host this token of gratitude comes, and they are vanishing at the rate of more than a hundred a day. Only a few thousand survivors of the Mexican war remain. It Is a question if the new service act, In which the House will concur, will materially add to the total paid for pensions, for under the present act applications for increase are numerous, and medical examinations and clerical details are expensive to the government. It Is time to provide this Increase If It Is to be awarded at all. A few years hence would be too late. The average age of survivors of the Union army is Ol Many are far past 70. It Is well that Congress has decided on immediate action. St. Louis Globe-.Oemcrat John Sharp William' Prayer. "I would to God," said John Sharp Williams recently, "that Democrats would quit lighting one another and unite In lighting bad policies and jfor fundamental Democratic Ideas." . There is no discount on many of the fundamental Democratic Ideas. When the party was organized and for a generation afterward it stood for much If not all that was good In Anr nlcan politics. ,Were It not that all .that was good In the original De.u 'racy has been adopted by the Re: uh'2can party Mr. Williams' prayer WGud be a sensible one, but if he is really in search of the fundamental ideas and not of the loaves and fishes he might tiad them by becoming a Republican. The prayer for peace In the Democratic ranks Is hardly a wise one, because di.ssen.sion are the native air of Democrats and they thrive on them. It is always dargerous to count on a small Democratic vote because there are numerous dissensions In the Democratic ranks, for the only eVect of them Is to keep up the Interest in the campaign until election day, when white-winged peace Is sure to make its appearance. It Is more than likely, however, that Mr. Williams' references to "fighting" are a euphemism and that what he Lj really bewailing under this name Is his party's quadrennial change of front and Its disposition to clothe itself in any garb and take up with any "Idea" whatever In the hope of riding Into power on it. If this Is what he Is lamenting the whole country will join him in iL In this respect the Democratic party is a national menace. It is a large party and, in spite of what Mr. Williams says. It Is a united party. It Is capable of doing Infinite mischief. It Is like a ship with a loosened and rolling cargo, the lurches of which it is Impossible to foresee, but may at any moment In a storm throw the ship on its beam ends and sink It. Who can tell what this great party will stand for In the next presidential election? It is the opportunist and soldier of fortune among the national parties. It Is ready to espouse any vagary, any heresy or any Interest that may make it successful. It Is a buccaneer party ready to Inflict any conceivable national 111 for the sake of power. It is a danger to itself and to everyone else. If this Is the evil which John Sharp Williams deprecates the whole country will utter a loud "Amen!" to his prayer. Chicago Chronicle. Forelsn Trade 93,2.10,000,000. What will the advocates of tariff reduction as a promoter of foreign trade have to say about the November trade returns? In the first eleven months of 1900 our Imports have been $1 ,188,1 L'9,S22, an Increase of 5110,138,001 over the corresponding period ra 1905, while our exports have amounted to $1,007,712,842, this being $1S0,4G0,5G7 more than for the first eleven months of 1905. The grand total for eleven months Is $2. 793.852.CC4. At this rate our foreign trade for 1900 wfll reach the $3,0,000,000 mark. Is not our foreign trade doing fairly well under the DIngley tariff? It Is double what It was ten years ago under a tariff revised downward with particular reference to promoting foreign trade. Taking these large figures into due consideration, will the congress of commercial organizations which Is to mret two weeks hence In Washington be likely to adv'se another experiment In foreign tradepromotion like that of lS91-'97? We should think not. fiood lu Haid Head. "I always patronize a bald-heade. barber," remarked the wise guy. "Becau.se why?" queried the simple person. "Because," explained the w. g.

MarrlaKP IilenI. There's not the slightest doubt that to make a home that is always full of charm takes work and thought. But it is worth the price, Isn't it? It is yours to make home a place that Is the most loved spot on earth to your haband.or the one that fills him with the greatest sense of weariness and repulsion a place to fly to, or one to fly away from which is it to be? Before a man Is married he thinks of possessing a home as a goal toward which to work. He looks forward to it as a place of p?aee and rest where he will go to throw down the troubles of life and be soot aed and comforted. lie sees himself sitting down to daintily

prepared and served meals, opposite a cheerful and neatly dressed wife. When, instead of this, he finds himself returning home at night to an Illkept, ill-managed house; when he sits down opposite a frowsy woman to a dinner, of overdone meat and underdone bread ; when, In place of the peace and rest he expected, he finds that he has added all of the multifarious worries of housekeeping to hU own business cares, all his ideals of m irrlage and home and love are scattered at one fell blow. He has struck the up-grade of matrimony, where It is just one long, lifeless, spiritless pull. It Is to the everlasting disgrace of woman that It is her hand that oftenest first plucks the Illusion from matrimony, for every woman who marries faces the question of the kind of home she will "make, and decides It. Philosophy of (be Housewife. We don't take the good of our possessions we expect to use thenv but don't. There Is always an occasion a little ahead that we have in view as we peep at our treasures In their hiding places. And when that occasion conies it is too much trouble to unearth our precious possessions we decide that we won't risk using them for fear of some mischance. And so It goes on until time intervenes and we are required to part with ourproperty sometimes suddenly and without even the pleasure of dictating who Is to receive it It doesn't seem worth It, does It? Surely It Is better to use our treasures, enjoy them, lose them, or break them and 8ioil them If we wish they are our own or give them away with whole-hearted pleasure to some one who can enjoy them more than we. So let us each peep Into our property box and see if we cannot replace some long hidden treasure with a little enjoyment or warm-hearted love. Girl Who In't Engaged. Don't be aggressive about it and Insist that you never yet me', a man you would dream of marrying. Even If this Is true, your vigorous assertions will leave the opposite impression on the minds of j'our bearei. Don't, on the other hand, magnify some childish sweethearting Into an early "affair" which holds you true to Its memory. And don't, above all things, invent a suspiciously-ideal lover who has gone abroad. Don't belittle your present male ac quaintances by building day dreams with a personification of all the virtues as hero. Don't drop vague hints about a se cret engagement which time alone will divulge. Don't pretend that you think married life a bore; no one will believe you. Don't pretend you don't believe In love; no cne will believe this, either. Don't remark that since many marriages are unhappy, you don't care to risk such a step. Such reasons are worse than none. Dressmakers who have difficulty In pressing curved yearns will find a roll ing pin a good pressing ttoard, if a clean cloth be wrapped around It. When putting steel or whalebone Into a bodice, bend them slightly at the waist before putting Into casing. You will find the bodice will fit to the figure much better. When putting on a collar make neck of bodice or blouse slightly smaller than base of collar band, and notch bodice here and there while putting collar on. By so doing you avoid wrinkles. All shirtwaist sleeves should be fitted with the. arms crossed behind the back of the head as wclf as In other positions. A sleeve that is not the necessary length from the armhole to the elbow can never be a comfortable one; It will always drag, nnd In many cases make the back of tho blouse draw and wrinkle between the shoulders. The shades of bronze green bid fair to hold their prestige better than the reds and are considered partlr-ularl chic. Almond green, too. Is well like.1 and the soft reseda, shades are still modish.

admired and used and there are some new weaves of this class which are among the loveliest materials of the season. Satin sultan is. one of these, a marvelously lustrous and soft: silk of considerable body and with a distinct cord weave, though the surface seems absolutely smooth. Still more beautiful is the satin, velour, which has a velvet finish but Is as light and supple as the softest crepe. This sutin velour has been received with acclaim by the great dressmakers. The Wife's Influence. Every married woman, says Harper's Bazar, no matter how limited her life may seem, no matter how shut up she may be In the nursery or the kitchen, has a means of contact with the great wrld in the man who goes cut Into it has a means of Influence on it through him. Seen or unseen' It Is there. The man who Is happy In his home carries the atmosphere of It with hlni he Is himself more In touch with others because of It. In this day and age. when so many woman are seeking scope for their iowers In arts and professions and business careers, there arc some who realize that in their marriage there Is the very widest scope women who put the enthusiasm, the brain power, the artistic ierceptlon, the clear-sighted effort, into their profession as wives and nothers, mistresses of households. These are the women who use their brains and their souls to love with, as well as their hearts, and who wield an extraordinary, farreaching power, all the greater because that power is tie last thingV they are thinking of or seek to attain. That Intangible thing that we call the spirit of the home walks abroa.. with every member of iL The "nice" children In school gravitate Instantly toward the children of that household, gravitate toward the house Itself, because there Is something there that they need. Duty of I'arentx. Love, faith and confidence should be developed and made permanent in every home. It Is a sad day when a child loses faith and confidence In fa ther or mother, and when he can point to the time when he was disappointed and deceived by those la whom, above all others, he trusted. Children naturally believe that what father and mother say and do are right and true, and no parent can afford to forfeit such Implicit trust. Barents should zealously guard their words and actions' In this respect, and by so doing tliey will be able to exert a healthy moral Influence which will Im? to their children in after years a safeguard against Impending disaster, says an exchange. As early as a child can understand anything, his first Impressions of his parents should be a trustful confidence This is the secret of his future selfcontrol and the power by whLn par ents can exert an Influence which shal determine very largely the physical, mental, moral and spiritual character of their child. The rtroom Will Have to Go. The London Lancet has an article In a recent numlcr In which It predict the parsing of the broom and predict that its place will be taken in ever, household by the vacuum cleaner.

Now the gloves, and ki gloves, too. have the backs all openwork. They are very pretty, but evidently not very warm.

Just as experience will prove Tues day to be the best washday for cnost modern housewives, so the newer methods of washing may be proved to be far the best for the sort of clothing

we now wear, says the Pictorial Review. Old-time fabrics were coarse and tough; they could be rubbed and pounded and pulled about without much danger to the fiber, but in these days garments must be handled with care; soaps have been made according to receipts and formulas given by chemists to meet latter-day requirements, to do away with board-rubbing as much ns possible, and It Is nothing short of foolish to stand back and refuse to advance with the times by making use of every aid given us by science and Invention. .

' A good resolution for every woman to make is that she will be the master of that Interesting entity, herself.
