probably during the first part of Aug
fruat. The peace plenipotentiaries, if ad
vice may I accepted as a criterion, will
jiot b mere puppets, but will be clothed
with full power to act. This not only
assures peace but within reasonable dis
tance. The place of meeting is likely
to be Oyster Bay or New York, rather
stfcan Washington. Notwithstanding !
wherever the plenipotentiaries assemble
to discuss and settle term of peace, the
chief credit of the much coveted outcome
must be awarded to the energetic, skill
ful and wonderfully successful man who
occupies the position of president of the
United States. Russia has already reap
ed a great benefit from her defeat and
that is the awakening of her people to
their rights, opportunities and destiny.
If under a constitutional regime gen
uine freedom shall be the ultimate result
of the war, the strife will be worth all
its awful cost Naturally the entire
world will also share in the prosperity
which will enevitably follow peace and
the progress of Russia.

A TARIFF PUZZLE.
The remarkable increase in manufac
tured export which was revealed in the
eleven months, ending May last, serves
to greatly attenuate the contention of
the "stand patters" that the mainten
ance of the present tariff law with not
a single sacred punctuation mark chang
ed or effaced, is independable to the
protection of American labor. In the
period mentioned our exports of manu
factured products reached a total value
og 413,400,0fK) an increase of $83,000,
000, or substantially 22 per cent over
the corresponding period of 1904 and of
1120,000.000 or nearly 34 per cent over
the corresponding period of 1903. Some
advance the theory that agricultural
exports have fallen off alarmingly. This
is true but even though the deficit is
$.14,300,000 as compared with 1904 and
$46 000.0ii0 as companed with 1903, man
ufactured exports have increased re
spectively $3,000.000 and $120,000,000.
The increa- in the exports has more
than made good the heavy loss that has
occurred laterly in agricultural exports
What adds to the significance of these
figures is that this increase in the sale
of American manufactured products, to
the n-t of the world lias taken place
at a tirr when wages in this country
have been as a whole at their highest
level, and when wages among our lor
eign t-ompefilors htive unh-rgorv no
corresponding increase. Coupled with
this is the fact that the increase has tak
en place when the prices of raw mater
ial, machinery and kindred commodities
have undergone a noteworthy advance
and when foreign countries have made
utrenuous efforts to keep conarol of
their own markets. How could all this
be possible if the maintenance of the
Dinghy tariff, as the "htand pattera"
aver, constitutes Amorican labor's sole
salvation is puzzling many good people
who have been tenderly nutured in the
fiiith of Dingleyism.

So Like a Girl.
A conductor on one. of the Kansas
City cars received a surprise recently,
according to "The Times" of that city.
He he)d a woman on at a downtown
corner, and was about to signal to go
ahead, when she called:
"Wait a minute, please' conductor!"
The man in the uniform hesitated.
The woman was in front of one of the
mirrors in the sides of the car "fixing
her hair. Just as he was about to
each for the be.llwrd again, she came
toward the back platform.
"Let me off, please," sbe said. "I
just wanted to put up my hair a little
better."
Then she stepped from the car, smi
ling sweetly.
It Atoned For Much.

"What a waste!" he exclaimed witn
profound emotion.
He made a few hasty figures on a
scrap of paper which he had in his
hand.
"Do you know," he said, looking up
after a moment, with flushed face and
brightening eye, "there's power here
