'F THERE be any human being In
look down with perfect propriety
on the rest of his neighbors In the
sphere of certlon or gaze over
i their beads and shoulders with
n exasperating air of forgetfulness of
their presence It Is certainly the ele-
vated citizen who has gained the sum-
mit of a mountain
It is rather an easy accomplishment
An these days of steam and electricity
to ride to the top of a mountain In the
comfortable compartment of an up-
ward moving railway train But moun-
tain climbing is a totally different ex-
perience from mountain traveling It
'means skill and exercise and exhila-
ration It means working one's way
upward along a hazardous path It
means skirting' the edges of a pre-
cipitous ravine It means lumping
fissures and vaulting mammoth bunk-
rs It means clinging to the slippery
hack of a slowly plodding horse It
imeans passing through every degTee
of temperature from tropical to frigid
But the very roughness of the ex-
perience the very unusual character
of the undertaking add to the delight
of the pastime Mountain climbing is
the most exhilarating of sports In
the whole range of vacation projects
there Is none which repays with such
a generous measure the exertion of
getting ready and of getting away
from the routine of home Health and
strength and vigorous life are part of
the gifts it offers In exchange giving
ialso a goodly dash of absolute con-
tentment and a happy Joy In the mere
net of living '
' Going to the Mountain
Colorado offers the beauty of lta
mountain scenery and the exhila-
rating tonic of its mountain air to all
who approach Its borders In the happy
guise of open-air pilgrims for life
out of doors Is the only sort of ex-
istence to enjoy In the summer It
tollers warmth for those who feel
cold quickly and the( cooling breeze
for the suffdter from heat Pike’s
peak stands ihvltlng all who come
that way to seek the healthful spirit
- that roams freely over the summit of
Its grandeur The Voice of the moun-
tain calls soothingly - to the tired
body and the beauty of its presence
bids the weary city dweller to leave
the caree of city life behind him and
ito listen through the summer to the
message it Imparts
Up in Orsgon Mount Hood rewards
the exertions of the mountain climber
with tile loveliness of its surround-
ings and the wealth of Its game
Washington has Its Inviting peak In
Ifount Adams once the scene of the
Annual outing of ' the Mazamaa or
Mountain Climbing club Mount Rain-
ier Is another lively elevated spot In
the wealth of picturesque scenery In
which the west abounds Elk moun-
tain In Wyoming Ilea In the midst of
a fertile green valley while its sum-
mit soars Into the blue vault of the
sky covered with snow which glis-
tens like precious jewels In the dan-
cing raya of sunlight
Beauty of the Yellowstone
- The mountain scenery of the Yel-
lowstone settlement Is a continuous
succession of beauties and delightful
surprises but the joy of an outing In
the national park la best appreciated
In other ways than In employing the
customary methods of seeing Its
grandeur - Camping In the Yellow-
stone is exhilarating sport fit for
gods accustomed to the freedom and
v joy of the heights of Olympus Then
ithe true beauty of the government’s
pleasure spot Is revealed to those
who reck to know lta worth To the
camper - the geyser sings Its jnost
ePo
oo
strenuous anthem To th campei
the mountain shows the tendar aids
of Its nature which cares for even
the least of the wild flowers To tbs
camper the sun shows lta brightest
colors as a kindly gesture of goo&
night
Everywhere throughout the rugged
scenery of the Rockies In the weal
and the more conventional beauty ol
the New England range In the east
the beauties of mountain life and th
pleasures -of mountain climbing are
emphasized by the twin spirits ol
freedom and exhilaration The joy ex
pressed In the enthusiastic words ol
the psalmist Is felt In the very all
of 'the 'mountain Yeelon felt even bY
the inhabitants accustomed to the
splendor of the hills
Mountain climbing Is a sport thal
has been practiced by tourists foi
many years The sport can he found
either in the west or In the east
either in America or Europe either
In Asia or Africa
Scaling the Alps
The halo of mystery which until
comparatively recent years surround-
ed the snow-clad mountains has passed
away and an easy familiarity now
reigns in its stead with the result
that the recognized rules of moun-
of negotiable credit that a private per-
son cannot command These advan-
tages Impose responsibility and the
law properly undertakes to apply that
responsibility But what do all these
advantages amount to compared with
those the tariff grants In the restric-
tion of foreign competition In the
compulsory home market at advanced
prices? And what are the dangers
from the ordinary corporations com-
pared with those who are Invited to
establish and aided In maintaining mo-
talneerlng are more frequently vlo j nopollstlc combinations by the law
lated and the number of aocldenta In
the Alps is Increasing every year
In point of danger and In proportion
to the number of its devotees moun-
taineering compares favorably with
most sports and if the fatal accidents
In the Alps have become more numer-
ous of late years this la due to the
deliberate neglect of ordinary precau-
tions or the unconscious violation ol
the established rules of the “craft"
Many accidents — suicides would
better describe these fatalities — due
purely to Ignorance and rashness
have occurred recently
Three young German students find-
ing the time hanging heavily decid-
ed to leave Montreaux “for a climb”
In the mountains above With no pro-
visions in town boots wearing straw
hats and gayly swinging their canes
the "Alpinists” set out on their jour
ney Needless to add they lost their
way and In the Couloir do Chaumen
the Inevitable accident happened
Two were carried down to St Gin-
golph with broken limbs and proba-
bly Injured for life
A similar accident happened to a
young Swiss named Aschbacher ol
Clarens who ventured op the CIme
de l’Est alone and fell down a preci-
pice where he remained 30 hours be-
fore being rescued Other fatalitlei

REPUBLICAN PARTY’S FAVORS
ARE FOR THE 6TR0NQ
Those Who Can Afford to Pay for
“Protection’ Are the Beneficiaries
of the Organization Today—
1 Its Ideals Abandoned
' Whom la th Republican party with
Its high tariff policy protecting to-
day— whom has it been protecting for
a quarter of a century T Not the
1 weak but th strong not those who
needed protection but those who could
afford to pay for It and who did pay
for It The party has long been sell-
ing what it called protection— but
which waa really privilege — the pro-
1 tectlon of giant industries that were
able to contribute and did contribute
to party campaign funds Steel trusts
and cotton trusts and vool trust and
oil trusts — these came to he the ob-
jects of the party’s persistent loving
care -'
And now we come to the era of the
o-caUed "strong men" for whom the
earth Is supposed to exist The weak
may go hang Campaigns are as one
of the newer leaders once said mere-
ly questions "of finance” The devel-
opment has been alow but looking
back over the past we can see bow
great the change In spirit has been
By abandoning the negro and by of-
fering the bait of protectionism both
Mr Taft and his predecessor have
endeavored to capture the south Po-
litical strength rather than political
righteousness has been sought for
And It has been sought for In exceed-
ingly practical ways The older
statesmen faulty aa they were would
have wrecked prosperity rather than
have abandoned a principle In which
they believed Today prosperity Is
the be-all and the end-all of politics
The Insurgent protest is In reality
a protest against the gross material-
ism which has so long ruled the party
It la also a confession of party sins
The only lleallam In Republican poli-
tics Is now found among the Insur-
gents Whether they can inoculate
the organization with It Is the ques-
tion But It la sad to think that a
great political organization which In
lta beginning had no thought of pro-
tection as a permanent policy had
Indeed hardly any thought of it at all
should today stand before the coun-
try as the purveyor of protection to
men who do not need It and who
ought not to have It that It should
have come to regard Idealism — which
was once Its very life breath — almost
aa a disease — Indianapolis News
Roosevelt’s Inconsistency
The ordinary corporation has special I
advantages from the law perpetuity
of existence limited liability the con-
Ration of amall amounts of capital
Into corporate capital that may bo im -
mense and it has the help of a form
that shuts out foreign rivals? Against
the former Mr Roosevelt has much to
say and says It with extreme bitter-
ness Against the latter he Is tongue-
tied and his convention goes to the
limit In defense and In praise Of
course in politics mere Inconsistency
does not always count but in this case
It would be Interesting if the voters
stirred by Mr Roosevelt's attacks on
privilege should strike at the worst
example of privilege and strike all
the harder because Mr Roosevelt him-
self Is its champion
Roosevelt’s Position
Mr Roosevelt is a very late convert I
to the belief that the tariff is a moral
Issue or any Issue at all He was as
silent aa the grave about the tariff
during all the years when with his
great Influence and authority he
might have done much to take the
crookedness out of the customs sched-1
ules when he might have done more
than any other man to destroy the
vast and complicated mechanism by I
which the protected trusts extort
money from the people Such a cru-1
sade It Is true might have destroy-
ed him politically Choosing the cor-
porations as the objects of his as-
saults he has prospered mightily But
the more prosperous he Is In that I
sense the more will the Immense in-1
vesting class and all the people all
' consumers feel the pinch of the high
A — M ll-la mhA oaiiiiAOII 1 n AATY1 no
cost of living and reduced incomes
Mr McKinley was called the advance
agent of prosperity By his choice of
the policies and the methods that kept
him to the fore politically Mr Roose-
velt has made himself the chief agent
lot the other thing
Labor’s Proportion of Benefit
The chief plea of the beneficiaries of
protection Is that the cost of labor In
this country is relatively so high that
the Industry employing It must be pro-
tected against the cheaper foreign ja -
bor And so far as the people believe
that protection is necessary to the
'American laborer — so far as It Is I
necessary to give him a decent stand-
ard of living— so far they are willing I
that the Industries should be protect-
ed or anything like a fair proportion
of the benefit that protection gives?
How the Trusts Under Republican
Mlerulo Rob th American
Consumer
In a special dispatch from New
Raven Senator Bulkeley la said to
have mad the statement that "every
promise mad on th platform ' on
which Taft ran baa boon redeemed"
On of the promises mad In that plat-
form waa that tho Republican party
would revise tb tariff to conform to
the dlffsrenod of the cost of produc-
tion here and abroad plus a reason-
able profit to the home manufacturer
Did they do ltf Not by a large ma-
jority Every one conversant with
th cotton and woolen schedules then
existing knew Instinctively the mean-
ing of that promise must be that the
cotton and woolen schedule of the
Dlngley tariff bill must be reduced
HO other outcome could be Imagined
or thought of The statements made
by various Important politicians
through the country since the present
bill became a law that the Republic-
an party had not promised to reduce
the tariff sounded to those who knew
the facts like the most' arrant non-
sense or the densest Ignorance
To give yon a more explicit Idea
of my meaning I will give you an ex-
perience I had In the summer of 1909
Going to England In the month of
July I took with me various samples
of lightweight spring worsteds for
men’s wear made by American manu-
facturers and had them examined
and valued against English produc-
tions of the same character and this
was done by one of the cleverest ex-
perts In Bradford England The first
sample he compared with a cloth
made and sold by an American wool-
en company at fl14 per yaTd net
The English goods of the same weight
and character and quite aa good
material cost in Bradford 64 cents
and the most astonishing fact of all
waa that these goods could not be
Imported and sold at the price at
which the American woolen company
sold their goods These and other
similar samples I shall be glad to
show to any one who la Interested In
the matter
Does the honorable senator mean
that the American manufacturer la
entitled to have 64 cents per yard pro-
tection on a fabric costing abroad 64
cents? Does he claim the promise of
the Republican platform waa carried
out in this and numberless other in-
stances of the same kind? The most
charitable construction to pat on his
statement la that ho has been aa Mr
Taft waa badly advised-— Letter in

L Martin of Atlanta at tho Raleigh
the other evening Mr Martin for 29
years has been a member of the North
Carolina general assembly Although
his present term has not expired h®
now Is a resident of Atlanta to which
city he recently removed
“I was in Atlanta tho day Colonel
Roosevelt made his recent speech"
continued Mr Martin “and the man
certainly was given a most remarkable
ovation It rained but the crowd that
i turned out to hear him was very
large But while many people of the
south are taken with the personal
magnetism of the man and like to
hear him speak it Is quite a different
proposition to consider him as their
candidate Of all who heard him and
who assisted in making his appearance
there the spectacular thing it was I
believe that not a man except those
who ordinarily vote the Republican
ticket would support him and It Is
doubtful even If he would get the to-
tal Republican vote of Georgia It is
one thing to cheer and applaud and
quite another to give the recipient of
this adulation one’s suffrage"--Washington
Star
All Due to the Tariff
We do not think It was very wise
of Mr Roosevelt to put the tariff in
the front place It Is too obviously
tho type and embodiment of all that
he professes to abhor and fight In poli-
tics It Is tho mother of trusts of
monopolies of combinations under' the
forms nay under the direct Inspira-
tion and encouragement of tho law
Every word that he baa had to say—
they are tot so many but they are
Iterated and reiterated Interminably—
about the evil and peril of monopolis-
tic corporations is ’’peculiarly" true of
the products of tho tariff legislation
of the past forty years The partici-
pation in public affairs the domina-
tion of the legislative branch the in-
direct control of the executive influ-
I nnAA In ti n 4i krIIAIm
I ence In party politics corruption and
I demoralization In every department of
I public activities such as he denounces
m his vague and fervent fashion— all
these are sins of the corporations ere-
ated and fostered by the tariff New
York Times
I Rights of the Workmen
The people are taxed to protect the
industries and their employes The
government does not collect this tax
but it makes a tariff law aud the peo-
1 pi0 pay the tax in added prices And
If the government makes the people
pay this tax to the protected Indus-
tries primarily on the plea that it ta
necessary to tho workmen then It Is
the government’s duty to see that the
workmen get what they are entitled to
and what the people are assessed to
give them

Only a Fow of Any Prominence Left
and Their Influence Has Become
More Constricted
Boston — The church evangelist
seems to have served his day He Is
less conspicuous than he was some
years ago and his Influence Is more
restricted A new order of worship as
well as thought In the church la re-
sponsible for this change and the new
order Is simply a part of the general
transition toward a safer and more
permanent system of publlo expres-
sion Conditions are not favorable to
the peripatetic preacher now and
there are only a few of them of any
prominence whatever
Undoubtedly the old-time evangelist
found his ricbeBt harvest in the emo-
tional heart Are hearts less emotion-
al today or are the people more
thoughtful? It must bo the latter It
cannot be that they are less religious
If our statistics which show steady
Increases in church populations be In-
fallible Ministers maintain their peo-
ple are more inquiring more honest in
their thought and therefore more
and not less pious but the difference
between their piety now and that of
yesterday Is that the preachers are
appealing more and more to their rea-
son than their emotion
And this Is as it should be The
new conditions make the local pastor
a more Important and Influential fac-
tor and give greater stability and per-
manence to the church and its agen-
cies But with the passing of the
modern circuit rider have come new
enterprises for propagating the faith
They have assumed various forms and
are more systematlo and aggressive
both as to their character and In-
fluence Ona Way of Being Anonymous

vention In New York praised the mod-
