Tag Day comes annually for the beneflt of the hospital. Money has to be raised some way for purposes of tht.3 sort. The sort of giving that we all hate, or at least think we do. is the sort we are begged for in person. Bvt it is undeniably true that we do not give as a rule unless some one comes round for the money. Tag Days havo the decided merit of doing away with begging. They are days appointed on which everyone may easily give what they can voluntarily and without solicitation. The tags are reminders that the day for giving has come and that you have not done what you had intended to. It works better than tying a string around the left thumb or other primitive methods of remembrance. If It were necessary, much might bo said as to the value of the work which Is carried on by the help of the Hospital Tag Day funds. But every one knows, and we hope will remember. TWINKLES (By Philander Johnson) A Useless Trip. "What was it that prevented you from discovering the north pole years ago?" "Lack of supplies?" "Didn't you have food, and dogs, and 6ledges, aad so on?" "Oh, yes. But when I got within a few degrees of the pole I was compelled to turn back. I ha? lost my fountain pen." Value of a Song. "There was a tin," said the old inhabitant, "when that piece of property pold for a song." "Really!" replied the grand opera prima donna. "How very expensive!" A Problem. The problem play much doubt provokes Whose moral sense is more contracted; The man who wrote It of the folks Who go and pay to see it acted? Good Times. Talk about dem good times 1 Dey said was comin "round. Squirrel in de tree top An de pahtridge on de ground. Reed bird in de marshes And Oyster In dey bay Good times come along so fas' Dey can't be chased away! 'Possum stahts a-Iaughin' On de moonlight limb, Rabbit feady toh to run An ducks begin to swim. Talk about yoh good times, Dis is dem foh aho. Ol Prosperity has lit An he's a-roostin' low!

THE INSURGENTS. " ' . . "The insurgents strove to keep faith with the people. They felt that the promissory notes of their party should be redeemed at a hundred cents on the dollar. They felt, too, that those promises were baaed on Justice. 8o from the very beginning the revision of the tariff presented Itself to them as a moral question. And the deeper they went Into it the plainer and more compelling the moral phase of it became. They considered the business aide of it as well the common-sense and practieability of It. And ao the insurgents fought for moderation. They stood against extremes. They labored to make protective tariff rates just and reasonable, stanch and firm. They wanted American industry protected wherever necessary and as much as necessary they believed that more than this is evil, and dangerous to the protective principle itself; and they wanted the conaumar protected also they believed that wages earned by labor should be kept at the highest standard arid that prices paid by labor should not outrun those wages. Also the Insurgents wanted the tariff out of the way of businesswanted the tariff question settled for years to come. The way to do that Is to make the tariff meet the just demands of the people. For, after all, the people are the masters; and that question is best settled where the people are best satisfied with the way it is settled. For these reasons, and as a matter of justice, the Insurgents demanded and demand a change in the method of making our tariffs this above all. They wanted and now want a method that will give accuracy to tariff rates and steadiness to business a method that Is modern and businesslike. v And the insurgents deserve most of the credit for the extent to which the law goes in meeting these ends. What do you think would have been the situation had they made no fight? And what if they had won all they fought for? If any one was to make the fight the Insurgent Republican Senators had to do it. There was no one else to do it. For the lines between the parties got very much tangled up and confused at times. On highly Important votes a majority of the Democratic Senators, traveling by the tar-iff-for-revenue-only road, reached the same end that Republican Senators reached who traveled by the extreme-protective-tariff road." Senator Beveridge in the Saturday Evening Post.

Those who consider the tariff as more than a mere party controversy, and those who are interested in the insurgents, but those in particular in Indiana who want to know how the senior senator from Indiana came to vote against the tariff bill and more particularly against Aldrich, will find interesting reading in the article contributed to the Saturday Evening Post by Senator Beveridge on the "Insurgents." As a long expected explanation of the doctrines of the insurgents, it will be read with interest in Indiana, and what is more, found satisfactory. It Is pleaBing to notice that the temcer of the Beveridge article is worthy of the man that we all have applauded. There is a vibrant tone of being right and honest and fearless but no note of complaint nor petty criticism. It can scarcely be called a defense, In the sense that President Taft defended the tariff. It reminds one more of a plain statement of fact and principles without argument, which convinces from sheer weight of evidence. No doubt the time will come as a result of the stand of the insurgents (and in particular of Mr. Beveridge), when the tariff commission and a tariff mad? by scientific principles on evidence gathered from such a commission will be forthcoming, 'such things must have their beginning and be fought for. The public does not now need to be told that the reason the tariff commission is not to be established is because certain powerful persons do not care to have the tariff made in that way. This has nothing to do with party but merely individuals who are controlled in our national legislature by these interests who are making money when they can make the tariff.

"Yet government, bo far as its business side Is concerned, is not so different, after all, from the business conduct of a farm, factory, mine or store- The simple way to avoid confusion, in our tariff building, the foolish jumble of information and misinformation, the buncombe speeches for partisan purposes sometimes heard in tariff debates in congress, is to find out the facts and let the people know about these facts. When that is done your statesman In politics will gladly adjust tariff rates to these facts with the accuracy of mathematics; and your politician in statesmanship will not dare to do anything else. For even he is not going to go against the facts when the people know the facts and know that their servants in House and Senate know the facts. How, then, shall we get the facts? Common-sense answers that question, and the successful experience of all other modern nations verifies it. We must have a Tariff Commission of experts, whose only and continuous business is to find out these facts, . on which Congress can build this great business measure- touching every enterprise yes, every household in the Republic. These men must have special training for the work. They must keep at it all the time. They must do their work fearlessly, thoroughly, honestly. When they have found out the facts they must lay these facts before Congress, systematized, digested and plainly arranged. Then the ,work of making tariff rates is up to Congress."

But is this all? No, the thing that Indiana people want stated to the other people In the country is the real reason for insurgency. They want it stated succinctly, and powerfully. And this Beveridge has done in no uncertain terms and in a way that should provoke no criticisms.

"But, because they wanted protection put beyond attack, the Insurgents did fight for many reductions and against such increases as seemed to them unnecessary and wrongful. Most of the important reductions in the present law are due either to the efforts of these insurgent Republicans, or else to the knowledge that those efforts would be put forth; except, of course, those reductions that President Taft forced when the bill reached conference. . But could even the president's courageous stand when the bill got into conference have been successful had the insurgents not fought and voted as they did? Suppose every Republican in the Senate had stood for the rates proposed in the original bill ! The president then would have been confronted by a solid Republican vote against every one of the demands he made of the conference Committee, and also by a majority of the Democratic Senators on most of them. So you see where the president w-ould have been left in his struggle with the conference committee if all the Republicans had voted for these rates, a majority of the Democratic Senators voting for them also. From a party point of view the business would have been still worse, for the overwhelming sentiment of the people Including the vast majority of Republican voters-in favor of a "revision downward" would have had no rallying-point to gather about had not the insurgent Senators furnished it"

If the ViewB of Beveridge had not been published in so many words they could have been surmised from his past record in this tariff controversy in the Senate. The insurgent point of view la sane and honest, these words are not the work of a hot headed sensationalist. If it be foolish and dishonest for the men to vote against making the tariff on scientific principles; to vote against the special privilege of giant corporations; and to insist that the people have their representation, then the insurgents are the veriest fools and traitors that American politics has lately seen.

Not Expecting Too Much. Ml suppose your' remarks in Congress will be listened to with great interest?" "My friend," said the statesman, "in Congress a man is lucky to get a chance to make a speech without expecting people to listen to it.

No Place Like Home. Washington Star. It is not easy for a man in this latitude, after reading the arctic literature and looking at the iceberg pictures provided by polar travelers, to comprehend why even an Eskimo should prefer to live in a land where it ia six months midnight and the other six months late in the afternoon. It is not easy to understand why a man should be content to live in an igloo and feed on blubber, permmican and old shoes, with an occasional gumdrop, when he might come down here to a happier clime and eat fried chicken and corn pone. Think of the dismal existence of a roan in a land where there are no watermelons, roasting ears, pumpkin pies or sweet potatoes! Think of the isolation and solitude of a man who lives in a snow house with no pianola in the flat above him or a phonograph next door! Think of the hardship of true lovers who have to court without a single shady lane, a piece of hammock or a moonlight night in summer! And yet, polar explorers, no matter how much they disagree on certain unimportant subjects, unite in saying that the Eskimos are a happy and contented set. Men become accustomed to their surroundings and form curious tastes in the matter of habitat. In the bad lands and on the alkali plains may be found men who believe they are living in the garden of Eden. There are some men who even prefer to live in New York city and who look on the rest of the country as of no account. Taxing Billboards. From the Rochester Post Express.

Undoubtedly the following prescription will .work wonders for that great class of rrien who, through dissipation of their natural strength, find themselves in their "second childhood" long; before the three core and ten allotted to life's pleasures and enjoyments are reached. It is presumed to be infallible, and highly efficient in quickly restoring in "nervous exhaustion," weak vitality, melancholia and the functions. First get fifty cents' worth of compound f'.uid balmwort in a one-ounce package, and three ounces syrup sarsaparllla compound; take home, mix and let stand two hours; then set one Ounce compound essence cardlol and one ounce tincture cadomene compound (not cardamom). Mix all in a Six or eight ounce bottle, shake well, and take one teaspoonful after each meal and one when retiring-, followed by a drink of water. By mixing; at home no man need be the wiser as to another's shortcomings, and expensive fees are avoided. Lack of poise and equilibrium in men la a constant source of embarrassment even when the public least suspects It. For the benefit of those who want a restoration to full, bounding health, and all the happiness accompanying- It, the above home treatment is given.

Staff Surgeon Oswald Rees, of the British navy, says the negro's color gives him an advantage over the white man in the stoke bold, as well as in the sun. "In the sun," this authority explains, "dark: skins resist heat better; in the stoke hold it radiates heat better." Dr. Rees 6ays the little thin man loses heat much more rapidly and. therefore, is a much better stoker than is the more fleshy man.
