We are told the average of duties in the tariff i now reported to the senate is a little higher than that in the Payne-Aldnch bill, the last one before this turned in by Republicans. is a reasonable guess that the next bill reported by these brethren have an average of duties still a shade higher than Is now turned in. It is assumed we are trying to build up a business in sea shipping-at any rate there is a request for many millions of taxpayers' money to try something along this line.

Also we are supposed to be urging Europe to stop all its foolishness and get down to production of goods th'e world wants. Thers is in this an invitation to send us goods. We occasionally make mention of the eleven billions that Europe owes this country, even hinting that country will be patronized by hundreds of thousands, and nearly all who attend will feel they have had their money's worth. It must be a really great game. This program is kept up year after year, and it is much the same thing one season and another.

Millions of dollars are handed over at the gate every season, and the thing appears to be done joyously. We have a great many wno would rather see a ball game than anything else that comes their way, and they keep this up for years on years, and the thing they see now is nretty much what they relished ten years ago and that will make a brand new fresh appeal ten years from now.

MACHIXE IS DEAD; LONG LIVE 3IACUIXK. The man who has had considerable experience In politics isn't quick to jump to the notion that the millennium has arrived just because he reads that a "machine" is broken.

It is not meant to say that old "machines" should be treated with A petition was presented in behalf of these twelve men, but it isn't certain this secured recall of the order.

They do this because, after looking around, they can find nothing else that will pay them as good net return and be safe. It is a little strange. Money can be put into railroad securities with the promise of a return of 8 per cent We are assured it can go into some profiteering venture with promise of still greater return. Everybody except the ones who have some money preaches this kind of stuff. How much livelier the world would be If only the other fellows had the money--at least that is what they tell us WAY WE SAVE THE COUNTRY.

Something to be said while primary experience is fresh in our minds. Tuesday last the Democratic voter went into the booth and looked at his ballot. The first thing that struck his eye was a list of nine names; all of them candidates for state treasurer. Possibly the had no recollection of ever hearing anything about any of the nine men. It may be he did hear mention of one of them, but he isn't sure about this.

With that information the primary voter is asked to pick a candidate from the nine. Voters all ovel the state will io the same thiug and in the same way. They don't even guess; they shut their eyes and make a pencil stab. And that's the way save the country.

It has now smashed the record by electing a Republican, a man of the plain name of Ives We didn't know that so nearby there was a township that remained faithful to the Democratic party through a period of fifty years. Had we about thte it would have been a pleasure now and then to do some chirping over it. The big sto comes just a trifle late, for now the township has gone Republican on supervisor.

It is too bad we didn't a the story earlier, but hereafter it may be expected an toms to get something out of them. As yet we don't know what else to do.
