A Penrose-Fordney Tariff. (New York World). To his audiences Mr. Hughes has given his pledge that if clected president one of his first ‘asks will be the repeal of the Underwood tariff. To redeem Mr. Hughes' pledges the proposed tariff measure must be the work of a republican congress. In that event the congenial duty of writ- ing the new tariff schedules would be allotted to Representative Joseph W. Fordney of Michigan, who would be republican chairman of the hous: committee on ways and means, and to Senator Boles Penrose of Penn- sylvania, who would be chairman of the senate commlittee on finance. They are worthy successors of the Aldrich- es, Paynes and Dingleys, who served western { the following were present: occasion there ma their party in previous tariffs in re- warding special interests at the ex- pense of the American people. As alds on the house committee on ways and means, Chairman Fordney would have J. Hampton Moore of Pennsylvania, Ebenezer J. Hill of Connecticut and Nicholas Longworth of Ohio. Senator Penrose’s finange committee would be made up of em- inent standpatters like Reed Smoot of Utah, Gallinger of New Hampshire, McCumber of North Dakota, Clark of Wyoming and Lodge of Massachu- setts. These are the representatives and | senators—not Mr. Hughes—to whoso hands would be committed the b ness of framing a republican tariff bill. Every one of them stood for the Payne-Aldrich tariff, which the coun- try repudiated in 1912, and for the “indefensible” schedules denounced by Mr. Taft, a republican presider They are the appointed representa- tives of tariff greed and extortion, and rendered in past to special privilege is e the kind of services to be e of them in the future, if the opportunity is offered | Mr. Hughes may make plausible promises of what he would have done | in revising the tariff, but so did Mr. !

During the gustatory proceedings a very hearty telegram was read from Mr. Hughes, regretting his in- ability to attend. The gentlemen participating the very identical characters four years ago were so roundly de- nounced by the progressive party’s leader as ‘‘porch climber: “male- factors,” “burglars” and “crooks.” yet they are the mains of the candidacy of Mr. Hughes, who not only sits at the same table with them politically but leans upon them in all matters pertaining to the direc- tion of the campaign. Is it a wonder that progressives are not enthusias- tically and overwhelmingly lining up? Perhaps, however, on some future be a dinner at which some of their number raay be invited to sit. were who s An Antidote for the Blues. (New York Herald.) Novelists of that dreary, sordid school that imitates that of Russia, delight in portraying the unhappy lot of the poorer classes in this country. These unfortunates are compelled to work at a starvation wage for brutal mahnufacturers, who “loll on silken cushions, while the wives and children of the workingmen perish from cold and hunger.” All sorts of persons find it to their interest to keep this myth alive in the minds of the credulous and benevolent. That the militia and federal army are frequently called out to shoot miners simply because they insist upon going ta their daj every morning is firmly believed by many individuals who ought to know better. g An enormous nigss of this pessi- mistic literature, both. in bound vol- umes and in the pages of periodicals, weighs down the hook counters and newsstands. Its perusal is apt to cause profound . melancholy at thought of widespread destitution that surrounds us W e we “loll on silken cushions.”” The frequent hints of threats of: an impending French revolution are appalling to the aver- age mind There is only one way to dispel the gloomy forebodings that arise as we read of these horrors, and that to go out and try to induce some one to He Roa Te Wa Ki Tipirere.

The tendency toward physical trajn- ing, as well as its specialized form, military training, does not alm so much at the increase of the actual | Physical power as at the increase of the reserve power. The former, no matter how small, is usually sufficient to maintain ordinarily bodily needs. But the ordinary muscular force wholly inade ate to sustain any usual demands of the body, from disease or otherwise, and ageinst which the body must be prepared. The speak of the increase of reserve a “hardening” process. Under this conception it is believed that any hardship or discomfort increases the body reserve, and that the more sufe fering and hardship the better. The more comfort and under which one liv the less reserve force there is developed—because not needed—and the “softer” they become. Hardening is exercise of the wholesome kind against resistance. It must, howeever, be done with an eve on the actual powers of the body, from the stand< point of endurance. The amount of fatigue must never rise beyond a point where the fatigue products can be absorbed and the body cuperate.
