It has been urged by Mr. Bryan that-the principal reason for revision of, the tariff and bringing the tariff for revenue only into existence Is the trust question. HI theory js that the removal of the tariff will restore the country to the tiem when there were no corporations. But will it? Surely the removal of the tariff will work a greater hardship on the smaller concerns in that particular industry than it will on the corporation, which controls the largest share of the trade? It stands to reason that if the tariff reduction is one which will destroy the largest concerns in one industry that same disastrous effect will spread throughout the industry. That the tariff has not much or any effect on the formation of trusts Mr. Bryan wi'4 have a hard time to show fn as much as there are Quite as many "trusts" in England which has!

free trade as there are in this country' the best as well as one of the most Further more the Standard Oil com-' impressive religious services ever conpany which is regarded as the most ducted in this church. The attend-

mallgant of the "trusts', would not be affected by a tariff revision nor

would the anthracite trust which has;dinner served in the hall was an elabno tariff protection what so ever. J orate feature. There were 98-guests It must be recognized that there that partook of the feast. The exer-

aro certain trusts which have profited by the tariff but so have the smaller concerns In the business. It must be clearly distinguished that Mr. Bryan's objection , to the trust Is the crushing of small competitors. Now the tariff has nothing to ,do with this that is a matter which Is due to other abuses. How can a trust crush a company by the tariff when that same company en-

Joys the same tariff. j

No Mr. Bryan, the remedy for the trusts does not lie in the tariff but '1 by other legislation. The fact is thai-Tariff revision is necessary on certain articles, but not for trust extinction. Trust extinction sounds well but it means business extinction if it is to be accomplished by tariff changes. There t nr nnestion that J'.IP tariff must be revised, but not on the basi3 , ! suggested by Mr. Bryan. It must be revised to help business and not to kill it. It must be done by scientific methods and not by crowbar and sledge hammer methods. Any attempt to kill business in this country will be resented and justly. The excrescences must be topped off the diseased tree but the purpose ! must be to kill the disease and not to kill the tree. What is the difference in the end if the remedy is as bad as the disease? Remedial trust legislation is not tariff revision and the two should be kept separate. FARMING UP-TO-DATE. The agricultural exhibits in the agri cultural show call the attention of the onlooker to the fact which few enough of us realize, that Richmond lies in one of the most fertile agricultural districts in the middle west. But there is more to it than the mere fertility of the soil it is the man behind It all. The Indian lived on this same ground and eked out his living, off the products of the woods and stream with a little patch of maize in the clearing. Today. Cleared fields, fine houses, well filled barns, granaries and corn cribs. That is the work of the modern farmer. Nor is all. Mere quantity is not enough for the farmer. The process of selective breeding is not confined to live stock but to everything the farmer raises. The wonderful productively of American soil is not the only reason why the American farmer supplies the world with food stuffs this year the country has over a billion dollar crop. There are those who say the fertility will be exhausted the country can not keep it up. But present methods do not indicate this. The farmer by fertilization and crop rotation is putting pack in the soil what he got from it, and is learning better methods. Moreover, in those portions of the country in which it has been necessary intensive or truck farming has shown that the American farmer can play that game better than the other countries, which have had to rely on it for their very life. What does all this prove! Only this that the American fanner succeeds on account of his brain matter. Wayne county is quite as up-to-date in the farming occupation as any other section of the country. And to a large degree Richmond's growth has been do to Wayne county farmers, as every one will realize who sees the exhibits of agricultural products. ITALIAN CLAIMS PART OF G00DSAMAITAN Andrea Pardo Only Gave Woman Sheleter for Night. A part of the testimony in the cases bf the state vs. Andrea Pardo, an Ital ian and Stella Schreckenhaust, a white woman was heard In the city court yes terday afternoon. The man is charged with associating and the woman with prostitution. It is claimed by Pardo that the woman came to his house on Fort Wayne avenue late Saturday night and said she was with out any place to stay during the night and asked him if he would take her in. He complied with the request and the arrest followed before the night bad passed. It is clamled by the police that if this statement is correct the woman must have been accustomed to make such visits as there had been frequent complaint about the conduct of affairs at the house.

Haler Sent to Jail for Not Appearing in City Court. MAY SERVE AS WARNING. Florence Haler now is appearing in the light of the "awful example." He has been convicted of the charge of contempt of court and sent to jail. The judge added to that a ten-days' sentence and this with his fine, makes Haler's stay at the county boarding house twenty-one days unless some one pays his fine A few weeks ago Haler had trouble with Charles Muth. He rushed over to police headquarters and stated Muth had struck him. He said he wanted to file an affidavit charging Muth with assault and battery. He was granted the privilege. Muth was arrested and arraigned. He plead not guilty and the case was continued until the next day. Muth and his attorney appeared in court, but Haler did not show up. The court suspected Haler might have had reason to leave the city and ordered his arrest upon his return. He was taken into custody a few days ago. Haler told the court that his mother was lying at the point of death and he went to her. The court could not see why he did not notify the police and seemed to have a shadow of suspicion as to the authenticity of Haler's story. It is a fact that in the past a number of affidavits have been filed, but never prosecuted, because of the failure of the affiant to make his appearance in court. The judge believes such action tends to put the court in disrepute and has determined to use his efforts to stoo it. Suffer ir. j i-or Love. An English traveler in northern Nigeria describes an interesting custom connected, with marriage which he came across ainoug the Fuluni, a tribe of wandering herdsmen who show no trace of negro blood and are supposed to be of Asiatic origin. One might al most suppose that they had advanced ideas about the relations of the sexes Before a man is allowed to marry he has to stand a sound thrashing without wincing. In some parts of Europe thia test of fitness for the wedded state might more reasonably be applied to the woman. One is reminded of Thom as Edgeworth's friend, who in selecting a bride dropped hot sealing wax on the girl's arm and fired a pistol off near her ear. A primary teacher was presenting t her class selection from the story o niawatha preparatory to taking up tli "Hiawatha Primer," The story w: prefaced by a few remarks in reg.tn to the poet and his love for chlldreu In reviewing the lesson she asked: "How many reisember the name of the poet who wrote this story?" Up went many bands. "You may tell us. Sarah," added thi teacher, noticing the little one wildl; waving her hand in her Intense eager ness to respond. "Mr: Longlegs." said the child, with evident pride. Lippincott's. A Quaint Critic. A noted woman teacher once spoke before a class of school children or literature. She had spent a week writ ing the speech. She read It to the lit tie ones, as she hoped, with great sue cess, but the next day she heard tbiv a boy on being asked by his mothc what had happened at the school re piled carelessly: "Oh, nothing much, except that a lady talked to herself on a piece of paper." Just the Contrary. Bessie was just finishing her break fast as papa stooped to kiss her before going downtown. The little one grave ly took up her.napklu and wiped her cheek. "What Bessie." said her father "wiping away papa's kiss?" "Oh, no." said she. looking up. with a sweet smile; "I's wubbing It in.M A Bad Spell. "Poor ck! He never could spell, and it ruined him." "How?" "He wrote a verse to an heiress be was in love with and he wrote boney for bonny." A wise man should Undness. nerodotus. not refuse a PREPARES PLAYS FOR PRODUCTION IN U.

Copyright, 190i. by Edwin A. Nye. -ENTERING JOURNALISM." A young man asks the writer to state what is necessary by way of preparation to "enter daily journalism." EVERYTHING IS NECESSARY. Dally newspaper work, on the editorial side, is the most exacting business on earth. First, the beginner must have a strong body. He should have a RESERVOIR OF VITALITY to withstand the killing strain of intense labors concentrated into a short time. Next, he must have that sixth sense known as "the nose for news." It is difficult to describe tbe faculty, usually born in the bone. It is the ability which sees "a story" where others would stumble over It. These are fundamentals. Add the scent and bulldog tenacity to follow a lead, accurate judgment, ability to make and hold friends, patience, poise. Initiative, industry, loyalty to orders. What? you say. How about the ability to write? Any school graduate can write. Of course it is necessary to be able to write strong, clear, simple English. Mind you, all this will simply put your foot on the LOWEST RUNG OF THE LADDER as a "cub reporter." You can only climb through experience and trials under dally difficulties. That is why a veteran warns the unknowing. Young man, don't "enter Journalism" unless You were predestined from all eter nity to be a newspaper man, or Unless you know you will never be happy outside a newspaper office, or Unless the stern duties are like a bugle call of challenge to your best endeavor. Because the demands of a modern flally newspaper if you would climbare keyed AS HIGH AS FLESH AND BLOOD CAN STAND. And the pay Is not in proportion. The discipline is almost as severe as that of the military service. And there la NO MERCY FOR THOSE WHO FAIL. But If the Ofor - of printer's ink Is Incense to your nostrils. If you feel it is In your power to make good, if tbe strong soul of you rises to the call, why, then In the name of r-Tlamln Franklin. PITCH IN. You w"' get your chance, never fear. "Pull" cannot promote some less able f .low abeve you. You stand on your jwn business. Merit will win. And there a:e compensations ann sptlsfactions.

"Well, he can't do any harm here. O'Brien takes visitors over a regular round, and, in any case, the man seemed to be honest enough in bis curiosity." "You never can tell. They're up to all sorts of dodges." "Thanks very much. I'll riug for O'Brien's relief ami teil him to keep an eye on them, as the old man Is blind as a bat." Meanwhile the stranger was being conductod up a wide staircase by a somewhat tottoring guide, who wore on the breast of his uniform the Crimean and Iudian mutiny medals. As he hobbled in front lie told, with a strong Irish brogue, the familiar sto ry of the Mary Anson home how it fed, lodged and clothed GOO boys of British parentage born in the Whitechapel district; how it taught them trades and followed their careers with fostering care; how it never refused a meal or a warm sleeping place to any boy, no matter where he came from or what his nationality, provided he satisfied the superintendent that he was really destitute or needed his small capital for trading purposes next day. The great central hull where the GOO regular inmates ate their meals, the dormitories, the playgrounds, the drill shed and gymnasium, the workshops, the library, the theater, were all pointed out, but the big man with the staring eyes was not interested one jot In any of these things. "Who was Mary Anson?" he asked,

"Oh, I'm afraid we didn't know one another. I can't recall your name, though I recollect the shop well enough. But, if Mrs. Anson died so poor, how was her son able to set this great house on its legs? It must have cost a mint of money."

That s the way out O'Brien was deeply offended by the language used beneath a roof hallowed by the name of Mary Anson. The sightseer had t go, and quickly. m Another commlsslonnalre. who was observing them from a distance, came cp and asked O'Brien what the stranger was talking about. "Ye nlvver heard sich a blaggard." said the old man Indignantly. "I was In the middle of tellin' him about Mr. Philip, when he began to curse like ould Nick himself." In tbe Mile End road the rawboned person who betrayed such excitement found the policeman' awaiting him. He sprang on to a 'bus and purposely glared at tbe officer in a way to attract his attention.

They agreed to diller on thus important question. Philip was fond of travel and adventure. With great difficulty his "guardian-' kept him out of tbe army, but compromised the matter by allowing 'the young millionaire to roam abvut the odd corners of the world in his yacht for eight months of the year, provided he spent four mouths of the season in lxmdon and fc-'uex attending to affairs. Ia this month of April he was living in his town house. In July he would go to Fairfax Hall, in August to Scotland and a month later would joyfully Cy to the Forth, where the Sea Maiden awaited him. This lady, whose waist measured eighteen feet across and whose length was seventy feet, with a line spread of canvas and auxiliary steam, was the only siren able to charm him. lie was tall now aud strongly built, with something of the natal oiQcer in the Sea Maiden or in either of his two fine mansions. He avoided society in Its general acceptance, refused all overtures to mix in pojltlcs, took a keen delight iu using his grat wealth to alleviate distress anonymously and earned a deserved reputation as a "bear" among tbe fev match making mammas who managed to make his acquaintance. In other respects as the boy was so was the man the same downright character, tbe same steadfast devotion to his mother's memory, the same relentless adherence to a coursa already decided on and tbe same whole hearted reciprocity of friendship. As he stood in bis drawing room before dinner on the evening of the day Jocky Mason revolted the locality.

Her ladyship's whole aim ia life has bees to secure him as the baronet's heir. The title, of course, he cannot .obtain. But, most unfortunately, he has no penchant for beetles. . Indeed, Lady Louisa's researches have loag since diminished in ardor. Her eon's Interests are divided between the Sports club and the coryphees f tbe latest musical comedy. Moths are more In his line apparently. My un-.le, who is preparing a monograph on the fles which patronize Ermoor wild ponies, came to town last week to visit the British museum.

After playing into the hands of Lady Louisa for nearly a quarter of a century they suddenly find the whole situation changed by the baronet's belated discovery that be once had a sister." "You have not told me all this without a purpose. Do you want my advice?" Fhillp's face was clouded, his eyes downcast. "You understand," be said after a long pause, "that some one. either the man or the woman the woman, I think U morally responsible for xsy mother's death. She was poor wretchedly, horribly poor the poverty of thin cloth) ug and Insufficient food. She was ill, conaned to a miserable hovel for weary months and was so utterly unprovided with the barest necessities that the parish doctor was oa the point of compelling her to go to the workhouse infirmary when death came. Am I to be the Instrument of God's vengeance on this woman? Mr. Abingdon, who had risen to light a cigar, placed a kindly band oa the young man's shoulder.
