PUT UP TO CONGRESS
PRESIDENT'S POSITION SURELY
IS WELL TAKEN.
•A
Chief Executive More Than Willing
That the Appointive Power Shall
Be Placed in the Hands of
Legislators.
The president's answer to the
charge from members of congress
that his administration is using the
Appointive power to further political
ends Is conclusive at least In putting
the onus on congress. If the legis-
lative branch is sincere In Its ex-
pressed anxiety to prevent the use of
patronage for political purposes all
It has to do Is to accept the presi-
dent's suggestion in past messages
and place the offices under the civil
service laws. That will place the
plume beyond the reach of either the
administration or congress.
The fact that the president's re-
quest for such action has been Ig-
nored by congress justifies the belief
that there is a lot of hypocrisy In the
charges made by senators and repre-
sentatives and that their vociferation
Is caused less by zeal for civil serv-
ice than annoyance that they cannot
use the patronage to pay their own
political debts and build up their own
political fortunes.
In view of Mr. Taft's renewed dec-
laration that he will be glad If con
Kress takes from him the duty of
naming collectors of internal revenue,
United States marshals and postmas-
ters of the second and third classes
and place them in the civil service
list congress must either accept his
challenge or stand self-convicted of
mere partisanship In protesting
against an alleged abuse that It has
the power to stop and fails to use.
FINDS FAVOR WITH BANKERS
Business Is Expanding.
' The ease of money throughout the
United States Is stimulating a de-
mand tor Investment that Is producing
activity In real estate of every char-
acter, Increasing building operations
and promoting enterprise in a thou-
sand ways. The ease of money abroad
Is causing the purchase by foreign in-
vestors of our securities to the amount
of many millions of dollars every
•week and thereby adding to the vol-
ume of our cash at home or our cred-
its abroad.
The exports of the country were
never of so great a value In any sim-
ilar space of time as they have been
for the past eleven months, and those
exports exhibit the greatest increases
of value In manufactured articles, thus
strengthening our Industrial districts
and enabling the employment of large
forces «l workers.
We have here, provided our hopes
as to harvest are fulfilled, a combina-
tion of factors all working to produce
the very finest business results, and It
Is the part of wisdom for our transpor-
tation companies, our manufacturers,
oor wholesale merchants, as well as
the retailers, to prepare for the largest
trade this fall and winter that has
ever been their fortune to encounter.
If over the biggest, then over the
nmallest. This road leads straight to
Roclallsm, as President Taft has point-
ed out.—From the Waterbury Ameri-
can flnd't).
Who Gets the Profits?
A Vermont farmer, who says that
he keeps 100 sheep, writes to the Bur-
lington Free'Press that it seems hard-
ly worth while to have protection on
wool, by which ho benefits only three
or four dollars annually, when he has
"to pay $50 to $60 annually extra in
protection to the American Woolen
company" for what clothing he wears,
itud "it Is not all wool either." This
Vermont farmer Is either very ignor-
ant of the facts In the case, or very
extravagant In his purchases of cloth-
ing, for it has been demonstrated re-
peatedly that the mill's profits on the
cloth going Into a $25 or $35 suit is
not more than 35 to 50 cents, and the
whole cost of the cloth Is not mor«i
than $4 or $5 Says the Textile Man-
ufacturers' Journal: "The profits cf
the wool manufacturers are seldom
more than 1 per cent, of the cost of
a suit of clothes to the consumer. The
cost to the consumer of the cloth, trim-
mings and other textile products used
in a suit of clothes are seldom more
than 20 per cent, of Its total retail
price. The other 80 per cent, repre-
eenta the wholesale and retail cloth-
ier's cost and p-oflts. The woolen man-
ufacturer's profits could be entirely
be wiped out wihtout any benefit to
the consumer."
Low Wages in England.
Sixty per cent, of the adult workers
of Great Hrllaln receive less than
Jf.&O weekly wages, according to the
statistics quoted in the house of com-
mons by 11. J. Tennant, the pariia
mentnry secretary for the board of
trade. In opposing the motion of Will
Crooks, the Labor member from Wool-
^ wich. for a compulsion minimum
wage of $7.50. Crooks' story of the
sufferings of the poor was a pitiful
one and the house was greatly moved.
Mr. Tennant reluctantly had recourse
to cold logic and said that the motion
would Involve a cost of £88,000,000
sterling The sudden^ Increase of
wages, he declared, would raise the
cost of production and invite in-
creased foreign competition. The
house adjourned without action. [Re-

Aldrlch Plan for Currency Reform
Also Believed to Have Backing
of Administration.
It looks now as If the Taft adminis-
tration would support the Aldrlch plan
of banking and currency reform. It Is
well understood that the speech Sec-
retary MacVeagh of the treasury made
at Kansas City indorsing the Aldrlch
plan for a central reserve association
has the approval of President Taft.
The address It Is understood was
submitted to the president before the
secretary of the treasury went west.
During the earlier stages of the dis-
cussion of the Aldrlch plan both the
president and the secretary of the
treasury refrained from going on rec-
ord with respect to the proposed leg-
islation.
The president has confidence In the
views of hla secretary of the treasury,
and some months ago ho asked him
to make a careful study of the Ald-
rlch plan. This Mr. MacVeagh did,
with the result that, as he announced
In bis Kansas City speech, he believes
the plan Is sound. The expectation is
that the president will accept the
judgment of his secretary of the treas-
ury and will, at the proper time, lend
his influence to an effort to obtain
from congress legislation putting the
Aldrich plan into effect.
Unquestionably the Aldrich pro-
gram is gaining strength. Hankers
who were skeptical six months ago as
to the wisdom of establishing such a
central reserve association as that
proposed by Mr. Aldrich are now sup-
porting the plan. It is significant that
the committee from the American
Bankers' association, appointed to
study the Aldrlch program, has de-
cided It is sound. This does not mean,
of course, that all the bankers of the
country are by any means supporting
the plan, but It does mean that the
bankers are very generally disposed
to say that a central reserve associa-
tion would be a good thing.
The president desires banking and
currency legislation before the presi-
dential election next year He will
urge congress to take up the subject
at the long session, which will open
in December. Whether it will be pos-
sible to obtain legislation along the
lines proposed by Mr. Aldrlch will, of
course, depend largely on the attitude
of the Democratic house of represent-
atives So far the more influential
Democratic representatives are un-
willing to commit themselves with
respect to the Aldrich program. The
assumption is that the Democrats in
the house will have a plan of their
own to propose.
A Silly Outcry.
Anyone reading yellow newspapers
and taking their frenzied and foolish
editorials at their face value might
well suppose that the Supreme court
had deprived congress of some part
of its authority. He might Imagine
the country in danger of having some
law fastened upon it by the Supreme
court which the people, speaking
through their elected representatives,
do not want.
It is very absurd. The Supreme
court has said that it believes the
intent of the anti-trust law was to
forbid combinations In "unreasonable"
restraint of trade. It has not said that
the law must necessarily be so word-
ed that there can be any stch inter-
pretation. No sane man who Is intel-
ligent enough to write misleading
sensational articles for yellow news-
papers believes that the Supreme
court ever had a thought of taking
such a position or assuming any such
authority.
Let congress add one short sentence
to the nnti-trust law saying that no
combination in restraint of trade shall
be held reasonable or exempt from
the provisions of the law, and there
would not be the slightest chance of
a court decision anywhere, least of all
in the Supreme court, which would
hold any combination in restraint of
trade a lawful combination. Every
efforts to make the public Imagine
anything to the cont -ry are silly
when they are not vicious. Sometimes
they are both.

MADE BANK ACCOUNT GOOD
Why Uncle Reuben Could Not Meet
Debt He Acknowledged ai
an Obligation.
Uncle Reuben, the village white-
washer and man of all work, was a
frequent borrower of small sums
from his neighbor. Colonel Arkwright,
and as a rule he repaid these little
debts at the appointed time; but on
one occasion, when he had been ac-
commodated with a loan of two dol-
lars and a half, which he promised
to return in a few days, he allowed
two or three weeks to pass wtthout
making any mention of his Indebted-
ness, and In fact, seemed to avoid
i bis creditor. But one morning the
colonel unexpectedly encountered him
| at the postoftlce.
i "Hello, Uncle Rube! Didn't you
! borrow a little money from me sev-
eral weeks ago?"
"Dat's right, cunnel," said the old-
j man. "I sholy did."
"You told me you'd pay It back in
■ three or four days. Have you 1?«<1
bad luck?"
"No, suh," responded TTncle Reuben.
"I'll tell you how It was, cunnel. 1
1 lacked jes' two dollalis an' a half o'
havln' ten dollars to put In de savin's
| bank, an' I used it to' dat. Hit's all
| right, cunnel. I won't fo'git it."—

Harm In Too Much Exercise.
Dr. I.awrason Ilrown and Dr. F. IT.
J Heise of Saranac Lake, in an article
! on "Properly Regulated Rest and Ex-
ercise In 1'ulmonary Tuberculosis," In
! the June number of the Journal of the
j Outdoor I.ife, holds that the action
| of the poisonous germs of this disease
on the body is very similar to that of
overcxerclse. The poisonous irrita-
tions caused by the germs gives the
organs and tissues of the body a dou-
ble load to carry. Drs'. Brown and
Heise emphasize the importance of
rest in the treatments of tuberculo-
sis, but also Insist that properly reg-
ulated exercise is very necessary.
They state their conclusions thus:
"To sum up, exercise when properly
regulated and systematically graded
is an important factor In the treat-
ment of pulmonary tubercul(®ls.
Through It the patient Is in many
casrs returned to home and family
with lessened chances of future re-
lapse. At, the same time part of his
earning capacity is restored aifd he
is consequently financially less de-
pendent upon others, relieving him of
much worry, •xpeuse and hardship."

HADN'T SEEN IT SINCE.
A New Sensation.
Little Jean had visited one of the
! large summer amusement parks for
; the first time, and with the courage
i possessed only by those girls whose
j playmates are boys and girls older
than themselves, she had not hesi-
tated, when invited, to take a ride on
one of the "thrillers" that abound in
such places.
"To her mother, on her return from
the park, she confided the emotions
she had experienced as she swept
round the curves of the "figure eight"
with her elder brothers.
"Mamma," she said, "when I went
round those awful turns so fast 1 felt
just as if I had freckles on my
stomach!"—Youth's Companion.

No Refuge In Democracy.
There is small prospect that the
tariff tinkering with which the Demo-
cratic majority In the house of repre-
sentatives has been whlllng away the
last few weeks will amount to any-
thing In the way of actual changes In
the duties on Imports. It has not been
done with the expectation of tangible
results. The Democrats have simply
been playing politics.
But In playing politics they have
done one thing which they certainly
did not desire. They have shown very
plainly that there is no refuge In
Democracy for Republicans disgrun-
tled because of Canadian reciprocity
or any form of more liberal foreign
trade relations advocated by progres-
sive members of the president's party.
Any change from the Republican camp
to the Democratic would certainly be
Illogical and foolish for believers In
the broad policy of protection to
American Industries.
The more carefully and fully Re-
publican opponents of reciprocity
iudy the situation the less inclined
they will be, this year or at any other
time, to desert their own party out
of spite. Certainly they will not do
anything of the kind to uphold the pro-
tective tariff principle or policy.—
Cleveland Leader.
Thackeray's Kindness of Heart.
ThacKeray was the gentlest satir-
ist that ever lived. As editor of the
Cornhill he could hardly bring him-
self to reject a MS. for fear of hurting
his would-be contributors. The story
of his actually paying for contribu-
tions that he never printed, in order
to conceal the fact that he had reject-
em them, may be true or false. We do
not remember exactly how the evi-
dence points. But even if it be a
story, such stories are not told of men
made of the stern stuff of the Thack-
eray commonly misknown.
Shocking,
Miss D„ a teacher of unquestioned
propriety in all its branches, was in
the throes of commencement, and to
the best of her ability was entertain-
ing some young men—the suitors of
her fair pupils. They conversed on
some beautiful (lowers in the drawing
room. "Yes," exclaimed the old lady;
"but if you think these tire pretty, yon
just ought to go upstairs and look in
the bath tubs of the girls' dormitories
They are -just full of American beau
t ies!"
