these it would appear that the Middle
West will be very ungrateful if it does not back up the insurgent forces which
bare battled for tariff revision downward and kept their promises to the
people. It is not likely that enough
men in the West can be bunkoed into believing that the Aldrich bill is a
'republican tariff."

Of Interest to The Business Men
THE MIDDLE STATES AND THE
ALDRICH TARIFF
And so the Aldrich bill passed the
Senate. .
It can not truthfully be said that this was much of a surprise. But the Middle Western States held out almost
as a unit against the Aldrich tariff bill, v For this reason there has been an attempt made by the standpatters
in the Senate who are followers of
Aldrich. and by the redoubtable Mr,
Aldrich himself, more especially to try
to "read" the ten insurgents out of
the republican party.
Be that as it may, it is worth while calling attention to the fact that these
states, although they are republican and
these insurgents, although they are re
publicans, did not vote against the
"republican tariff bill." but against
the Aldrich tariff bill. That is a dis
tinction and also a difference.
The Aldrich tariff bill changed the Payne bill, which originated and was
passed by the 'House of Representa
tives in 847 different amendments.
With one or . two exceptions these
raised i the tariff not only : over the
Dingley schedules, but also over the
Payne bill. ;
f It was Senator LaFollette who on
the last day of the tariff debate in the
senate presented an official estimate of the difference between the Finance
Committee's bill and the Dingley sche
dules.
Here it is and it does not look like
revision downward:
Increases. . ... , . . .. . . .$102,000,000
Decreases 66,000,000
Difference between Senate - bill and
Dingley. law:
Increases.' numbering 248. .8145,125,000 Decreases numbering 520. 03,529,000
Changes made by the Senate:
Increases .. . . ,.$44,125,000 Decreases .... .. .. .. .' 27,520,000
So it is that in the Middle West we
who believed the promises of the re
publican party were for tariff revision
downward, have , steadfastly main tained that the thing for the republl
do was to see to it that those promises
were lived up to.
The Middle West can not see how it
is that if the Dipgley tariff Is too high
that' the Aldrich bill offers any relief.
The Middle States have always been : believers in the theory of protection.
They have insisted that the way to preserve the protective system was to
modify it to a reasonable basis made necessary by changing conditions.
They have heard the leading manufac
turers of the country assembled at the
Tariff Convention at Indianapolis de
clare that the only way to save the good points of protection is ,to reduce
the tariff and frame it along scien
tific lines.
Therefore the Middle West does not
believe that the Aldrich bill is a "re
publican tariff bill," but an Aldrich
Special Interest tariff bill, which has
no semblance of any republican doc
trine about it
The Middle West has been making
itself conspicuous instandlng against
the Aldrich tariff. Take the ten insurg
ents. Where do they come from?
They . come from the Middle West
a ne Middle West has by the last census one Quarter of a' million of the
population of the country.
To a candid observer of the situa
tion the struggle of the Middle West
against the New England states, it
wil be interesting to see which in the
long run wins out in the matter of
the tariff. The Middle West can not help hoping that Taft is on its side.
The result of his veto will be looked forward to with especial interest The probable outcome in case he does not
veto tho bill It it comes to him from the conference laden with the plunder
of corporations Is apt to be disas
trous as far, as the next presidential
election is concerned. The result may
easily be that the Middle West will
remember that certain men have kept
their promises to the people. Among
A Practical Method.
An advertising man a few years ago
found himself in charge of a campaign
where the selling conditions were en
tlrely unfamiliar to him. For a month
he did not write a line of copy or
make a single plan. He devoted him
self to getting close to the salesmen, lunching with them, drawing them out
as to why they made sales and why
they lost them. He visited competitors j
In the guise of a prospect and let their salesmen point out the weak- j
nesses in his new proposition. In the
end, be had opinions based upon some-
thins- more substantial than theory
He found out what was the line of
least , resistance, for along that line
comes the most economical advertising
as well as salesmanship.

el a hundred miles to visit 8 prospect
when within a half mile three pros
pects eaually as good could have been
unearthed bv a little headwork. bim
ilarly an advertising man will sometimes shape his campaign, bringing his heavy guns to bear upon a point of only moderate importance when a much more vital point remains wholly
overlooked. Necessity of "Digging."
It all leads back to the necessity of dieeinar deep into the particular pre
position in hand. The advertising man
needs to know tho technique or copy
and type and mediums and rates. But mora imDortant still he needs to know
what no teacher can tell him the Best method of applying the great princinlp of salesmanship and distribution
to the business which he undertakes to

Mr. Takahira's Address.
From the Philadelphia Press.
No happier selection could have
been made for Independence day at Independence Hall in this year than
Mr. Kogoro Takahira,, the Japanese
ambassador at Washington. At a dir
ficult post he has shown tact, discretion and skill. He has presented the
Just claims of Japan in a spirit which
has won assent and respect In this
countrv and maintained cordial reia
tions between two peoples, long friend
ly. This service to the nation to which
he is accredited as well as for the sov
ereian he represents gives weight and
force to his utterance yesterday. As
he points out, Japan owes to the United States at every stage of its
recent development guidance, aid, sup
port and direction. Not in history, one may unhesitatingly say, has one peo
ple been privileged to unselfishly to
smooth and aid the upward and ad
vancing path of anotner.
Copyright, VM9. by American Piesa Asso
ciation, j THE PRICE OF HAIR. DYE.
Do vou know that more men every
year, especially in the cities, are dye
ing their bair the vain men:
But wait.
Many of these men are using halt
dye not because they are proud, but
because they want to retain their jods.
It is a fact.
Manv of the big corporations
throughout the country are drawing
the line of usefulness of employees at the are of forty-five years or. if not
precisely at that age, thereabouts.
Therefore array haired employees are
viewed with more or less of suspicion. And when it becomes necessary to retrench on expenses and lay off some of the office force the older men are
let out. Young fellows are coming on
and must have tbelr promotion.
So when the first streaks or gray
appear in the mustaches of the older men they begin to shave clean and thus save appearances for a time. But
when the gray hairs creep into toeir
temoles there is no way to hide the
evidence of advancing years except
by dyeing the bair.
To be out of a job at forty-flve
means more, much more, than at twen
ty-five. To lose one's Job at the latter
age is merely a personal incident: to
lose it at the former age Is a tragedy.
Because
At twenty-five hope springs eternal
and one mav adapt himself to a new
Job or a new calling or wait for an
opening. At forty-five hopes are not
so strong and ways and nabits are
not so easily changed.
Besides
At forty-five one's expenses are
heavv. If one Is a family man, there
are children to be educated. And if
there are girls it costs a lot of money
to oronerlv dress them.
Do you wonder the old man consults
hln draarrist concerning bair dye?
The blc corporation does not care
who draws the wages so long as tne
work is properly done. The young fellows In the office do not care. They
may be a little sorry for the old fellow, but they must get on, don't you know.
Who cares, except the old man and
his family?
Heartless?
Well, doesn't the price of bair dye.
despite the demand, continue about the
same?
Slogan Contest Extended
Owing to the great amount of interest which has been manifested in the Slogan Contest the Committee has decided to extend the time to Saturday, July 10th at 6 p. m. The Best Slogan For Richmond? That is what the Young Men's Business , Club wants for advertising Richmond. The Club offers a prize of FIVE DOLLARS for the phrase or slogan selected as the most suitable for the fight for a bigger and better town.

Send in as many ideas as you have. The judges are to be announced later. I What the Club wants is something new, crisp and
effective. It wants something that won't wear out because it is to be used permanently in the future campaign for Richmond enterprise.

The Commission Plan.
From the Utica Press.
Reference is frequently made in all
nublications which report or discuss
municipal matters to the experiment
made successfully in several cities
where the office of alderman has been
abolished altogether and where gov
ernment has been by commission
Either they were selecteqVclties or selected commissioners, for it would appear that they have all been very suc
cessful. It is now reported that both St Paul and Minneapolis are anxious
to srive this plan and system a trial.
Memphis is to begin it next January,
and the twin cities could if "they wished get ready very soon after se
curing popular approval at the polls In
November. . The scheme has worked
so well in bo many places that there
must be some value and advantage in
it Of course almost any system of
government is good if it is in good
hands.
Professional Policemen.
From the Springfield Republican.
Mayor McClellan's fling at "profes
sional policemen" as unfit to have charee of Brooklyn borough was ade
quately met by Gen. Bingham's retort
that "professional policemen" are no worse than "professional politicians. There is no reason in the world why
the policing of a city should not be
under the control of a professional m the policing business; and the more
strictly professional he is, and at the same time honest, the better it will be
for the city. Some of the best po
liced cities .on earth. Paris, for ex
ample, have police heads who have
held office for fifteen years or more
without a break.

WHAT-S iat USE?
I overheard a man of some fifty
years say to bis friend:
"I tell you I am tired of the ever-
lastintr crind. But I can't nuit. I
have too many stomachs to fill besides my own. I cannot save much because
of my family expenses. I want a rest
but I can't afford it. I tell you I'm
tired of life. What's the user
Ever feel that way? You have worked bard for a Ions
time perhaps, and years ago your cas
tles in Spain toppled over and you are saying:
"What's the use?"
Well, you haven't given up the fight.
That's something. And you are battling along the best you can. That's
all Caesar did. or Charlemagne, or U.
S. Grant. That is all any man can do
And ever think of it? you are a
special providence to those who de
pend on you. The Lord puts you in his nlace.
Moreover, what you do counts as much in your world as does the bigger
man s work In bis world. I do not care what your work is. whether It Is practicing law or sellIn it coods or heaving white clay out
of a ditch, you are doing your share of the world's work.
Particularly does your work count If it be good work. It Is not the kind of work, mind you. but how well you
do it. If the Job ts well done, if the product is well finished, it is worth to the world all it cost you In effort
and more. Therefore, keen on!
Perhaps you say: "But the work I do
for others is not appreciated. I get no thanks for being an industrial slave. I cannot do more than is expected of
me sometimes not so much. When I do the expected I get no thanks. When
I do less I am blamed. When I do
more It is taken for granted. It is
hard to work without appreciation." So It is. But
How much thanks did you ever give your father and mother for what they
did for you? Appreciation came late to them, possibly after they were
dead. They were paying tbelr debt to
society as you are paying yours.
What's the use? Everything.' You
are a worker and not a shirker.
Is it worth nothing to you that you
have your own self respect 7 -
Put it down deep into your soul that If your work is honest work and you
acquit yourself like a man you are doing Just as much In your sphere as the president of the United States is
dolnft In his snhere.
And you should not say. "What's
the use 7"
