FREDERICK D. UNDERWOOD. Frederick D. Underwood, president of tho Kite Railroad company, was bom la Wauwatosa. Wis., February 1, 1 862, and received bis education at an academy In Hearer Dam, Wis. He began bis career as a clerk In the service of the Chicago, Milwaukee and Bt. Taul' road. In whose employ he continued from 1S70 until 1SS6, rising to the position of superintendent. When he left that road It was to accept the position of general superintendent In charge of the construction of tho Minneapolis and Pacific railway. I'pon the consolidation of that road with the Minneapolis. Sault Etc. Marl and Atlantic railway Mr. Vnderwood was appointed general manager of the consolidated lines. In 1S99 he resigned to become general manager of the llaltlmoro and Ohio road, of which ho became vice president, until he was elected to his present position as president of the Erie railroad and Its allied lines.

A Tariff Bogey and the Lobbyists There Is one thing about this reciprocity 'measure that will come into paly again for the general betterment of things and that is the destruction of the old bogey of the present tariff affecting farmers In the particular way that Is claimed for it. We have been asked to believe that the tariff affects the price of farm products. We have been asked to believe that the tariff affects the price which the farmer receives for his wheat his corn, his oats his wool! That the tariff is responsiblo for farmers' prosperity." In spite of the Infamous schedule "K" (which President Taft himself called "Indefensible") tho wool growing Industry has declined. The western herds are diminishing. Why? Simply because the Wool Trust through its ramifications of organization is able to keep the price of wool down and the price of clothes high. The fact is that any Indiana farmer who raises sheep for anything else than to keep the weeds down or as some sort of a side line is losing money. There are not many sheep in Indiana and the Purdue people will not advise farmers to go into it extensively "there's a reason."

Take the simple case of wheat and corn. All grain dealers know that the price of wheat and corn is fixed in the Pit of the Chicago grain market. It is fixed there for the whole world. Some time ago it was urged that in the face of a bumper crop of three billion bushels of corn in America last year that the shortage of corn in the Argentine had something to do with the slight rise in corn priceB, when tho supply should have indicated a drop. But the exportable surplus of corn in the Argentine is never larger than a hundred million bushels! Kveryone on the market knew that it was the manipulation in "futures" that did it. And manipulation in "futures" simply means that the combination of speculators and elevator men and the structure of trade machinery In this country enables a few men to control the price of wheat and corn to the detriment of everyone but themselves. (A bill was introduced last April in congress to do away with "futures" but that is another story.)

Or take butter and eggs. Everyone knows that theso simplo by products of the ordinary farm have for the last five years been the absolute property of the thirtythree large cold storage houses. If any one wants any proof of that you know the recent developments in the over supply in tho food trust case in the last three weeks.

With this as a slight intimation as to how the prices which the producer receives for his product are arrived at it becomes interesting to watch Mr. James E. Watson,' a former congressman who was so lately telling us about the tariff in these parts. Mr. Watson is said to be a very competent tariff lobbyist deriving much of his effectiveness from the fact of his friendship for Mr. Joseph Gurney Cannon and others very much like him . He is going to attack tho reciprocity measure out in Kansas in the same breath with the fight against the progressive candidate for governor.

Just why a tariff lobbyist should be so lnaensed about the reciprocity measure appears when it Is remembered that this price of farm products bogey has been a club in the hands of the tariff lobbyists in times gone past in order to have something to trade in their log rolling with the west. But the average man in the west has never seen any more results than those In the speeches. It is noticeable that the howls are not coming so much from the enlightened progressive farmers of Kansas who know their economics and their corn prices from bitter experience, not from the wool growers but from men like Mr. Watson who are the paid "agents of corporations, obtaining attorney's fees for the good they can do in making tariffs which grant tho said corporations a special privilege behind which they can erect an effective sales monopoly.

If the sacred bogey were destroyed well corporation lobbyists In tho senate and house would be at a loss for a little while as to how to explain what some of these trades were to be made for. Even granting that the tariff keeps the price of farm products up granted the whole argument of the most inspired lobbyist let the careful farmer sit down and figure out what the trading on this argument has done tl everything that he has to buy from nails and farm machinery all articles made out of steel, to his wool mittens and socks let him see where this comes out and perhaps he will not be so anxious to yell with delight for the tariff lobbyist's argument when he returns home triumphant after the passage of the "best tariff bill" in the history of the nation "which protects the American farmer!"

Another simple fact of the matter Is that this country is no longer In the situation of producing more than it can get away with wo are importing food stuffs. Tho tariff cannot either be defended on the cost of production abroad as far as Canada is concerned Canadian workmen are as highly paid as Americans in fact many Americans are in Canada working at present. From all points of the compass tho facts seem to fairly pour in driving out the old bogey of tariff for the farmer the howls are not coming from the farmer the intelligent farmers know and they don't longer care to be the peg on which to hang an iniquitous tariff for the special privilege of a few. Let's have real reciprocity and get something for it.

SMALL SUM BROUGHT BY PROPERTY SALE Sale of city property, which for twenty years or so has been held by the Evansville and Richmond traction line, was made Tuesday by Henry T. Burns, the commissioner for the receiver. The tract, which la available for conversion into city lots and lying largely in West Richmond, brought an unusually small figure, some of the tracts selling as low at $50. The company after purchasing and grading its right of way ran short of funds and was never able to interest capitalists in the project after that. Last year the road went into the hands of the federal court, a receiver being appointed.

Some Gossip Gathered From The Gay American Metropolis

ZBZ GOSFEL OF WORK. "My Father worketh hitherto, and I work," said the Nazareue. God works. You will find a record of some of his works in an old book railed Genesis. From the beginning the Almighty was busy. And if you want to find some of the workings of God today go out of doors and look about you. The great thing In nature Is Activity. And from the time man began to earn his bread . by the sweat of his brow down to this minute there has been for him one gospel of life the gospel of work. We are so made that we can only find pleasure in doing things. And iu this respect we are in the Image aud likeness of God who, we must conclude, finds his pleasure in doing great things. Idleness? Idleness is .treason to the universe iu which you live. The planers do not loaf. The sun never gets lazy. The moon arrives ou schedule. There is a wide difference between idleness and rest. God rested on the seventh day, but he is never idle. Rest is only a period of preparation for doing. The idle man is the miserable man. It must be so. Because The sanity of divinity is in the work of a man's bands and mind. The idle rich who fancy they can" live in sweet inactivity find the hardest thing to do is to "kill time." The man who "retires" from all business because he has made a competency will some time come to the feeling that he might as well be Osierized. The saturated sponge filled with the deadly perfume of the lotus flower has been pressed to his nostrils until he is uo longer alive. He is dead! And only walks about to postpone funeral expenses. If somebody would just wake him up and give him the blessing of a bard job! Activity la life. Indolence is death. The primal curse is also the primal blessing work and enjoy; idle and rot.

New York, Feb. 1. What is declared by bibliophiles to be the largest private collection of rare books ever owned by one man will be dispersed at auction sale the first of which will

be held this month. The library is

that of the late Robert Hoe, the manufacturer of printing presses, and includes many rarities of almost priceless value. All of the more valuable works will be offered volume by volume and the sales w ill likely continue through a period of two years. Mr. Hoe devoted much of his time during the last quarter century of his life to the quest of rare and scarce books, and the collection of over twenty thousand volumes represents wide knowledge of values, rare insight and appreciation and an ardent love for books, backed by ample means. The Collection Includes two copies of the Guttenberg Bible, the first book ever printed, one of "which is on vellum. So far as known only seven of

these books are in existence, all" being in public museums except the two Hoe copies and one in the possession of J. Pierpont Morgan. It is understood that the latter paid $60,000, for his copy. j Other treasures in the Hoe collec-', tion include rare Shakespeare folios, Aldines and Elzevirs, Queen Elizabeth's personal prayer book, a Kilmar

nock Burns with a letter from the poet bound within its covers, and thousands of volumes of rare Ameri-t cana. It is generally considered "by col- i

lectors that the Guttenberg Bible is AWFUL PAINS FULLYDESGRIBED A Lady of Pizarro Tells Story of Awful Suffering That Cardui Finally Relieved. Pizarro, Va. "I suffered for several years" writes Mrs. Dorma A. Smith, "with that awful backache and the bearing down sensations, so fully described in your book. "I tried doctors and other medicines and found little relief, until I was induced to try Wine of Cardui, when I found instant relief and today 1 can heartily recommend Cardui to all suffering women and think there is no other as good." In some instances, Cardui gives instant relief; in others, it may take a little time. But in all cases of female trouble Cardui can be depended on to be of benefit, as it is a specific remedy for women and acts in a curative way on the womanly organs. As a general tonic for women, to build up your strength, improve your appetite, bring back rosy cheeks and make you look and feel young and happy, nothing you can find will do so much for you as Cardui.

the most valuable single book in existence, and it has brought the highest price, $60,000. There are other works, however, which would prove a rich find, and a collection that could be included in a much smaller space

than a three-foot shelf would be worth easily a million dollars. Indeed there are tight books that ould readily bring this sum. Next to the Guttenberg Bible, perhaps, is the Psalter of 1457, the first book, printed which bears a date on the tit I- "-ge, for an authentic copy of whic ' could get at least $50,000 A'Hlsto.. f Troy, printed by William Caxton and the first book printed in the English language has sold for $40000. If you should stumble upon a copy of Canterbury Tales by Chaucer first edition, 1478. do not part with it for less than $20,000. and it might be wise to hold out for more. Malory's Morte d'Arthur is worth a similar sum, and the original first edition of Shakespeare's Venus and Adonis will command at least $10,000. The first book printed in America was the Book of-the General Laws of Massachusetts

This volume bearing the' date of 1648 would be a lucky find, as it would be an easy matter to find some bibliophile willing to part with $10,000 in exchange for the work". The Psalter of 1459 is also said to be worth $10,000, J. Pierpont Morgan paying that sum for the best copy in existence.

You can't pay for a better light, because there is none. An oil light has the least effect on the human eye, and . the Rayo Lamp is the best oil lamp made, though low in price. You can pay $5, $10, or $20 for some other lamp, and although you get a more costly lamp, you can't get a better light than the white, mellow, diffused, unflickering light of the lowpriced Rayo.
