HOW IT BECAME SO.
The doctrines of free-trade and
of protection belong: to the do
main of Political Economy. . The
questions themselves are not local
questions but acknowledged prin
ciples of Political Science. Which
of these principles should be ap
plied in conducting the govern
ment is a local question only so
far as the interests affected by
the. nrinciDles adoDted exist in
this, that or another locality.
Which set of principles to apply,
whether those of free-trade or
those of protection, depends upon
which will work to the greater
benefit of all the interests
involved. Because of this,
that is because those princi
ples belong to Political Economy
and not to mere party politics,
protectionists as well as free
traders are found in both parties.
It is true, the democratic party
early opposed protection and ad
vocated a tariff law looking to
ward free-trade, and' this is the
present attitude of that party on
tariff legislation.
The first tariff law, that of
1789, was discussed and settled
on lines of political economy.
When slave labor became highly
remunerative in the south and the
production of cotton and tobacco
became the chief southern indus
tries the people of the south, like
all agricultural people, favoredthe
doctrine of free-trade. As "time
passed the south became the con
trolling force in the democratic
party, and that party became the
exponent of free-trade. The con
trolling force of the Whig, and
later and more fully of the Re
publican party was in the manu
facturing north. Protection then
became, in turn, a policy of these
parties. This is the relative po
sition of the two parties, Demo
cratic and Republican, at present,
and explains how these questions
of nolitical economy came to be
F -
regarded by many men as simply
party policies of local importance
only.
But. observe : our northern and
western farmers see that protec
tion benefits them more than
free-trade does. The south sees
that she must establish manufac
turing if she would develop her
boundless resources and attain
her full measure of prosperity,
Protectionists multiply in the
south, and the day is not far dis
tant, we may hope, when these
Questions will be discussed, as
they should be, as questions of
political science, and decided upon
the known results of their prac
tical application to the conduct o
our government in the best inter
estsof the American people. This
is the hope and desire of protec
tionists of either party and the
purpose of the republican party
came an ideal race of men.
But what of the power of envi
ronment? Is it not probable that
here may be found the greatest
of all forces in moulding human
character? We use the term en.
vironment in its most compre
hensive sense. It is certain we
have not been enough solicitous
as to the real influence of envi
ronment upon men in their form
ative state.
The case of Thaw, again on
trial, suggests these thoughts. No
man had a more desirable ances
try than he. His maternal grand
father, Josiah Copeley, through a
long, active and useful life proved
himself to be a man "created a
little lower than the angels,"
only- The same may be said of
the young man's father, William
Thaw. On both sides and for
many antecedent generations
young Thaw has a most excellent
heredity. The force of tins was
turned aside by an unfortunate
environment.
Pre-eminently public-spirited,
his father was absorbed in many
enterprises. Exceedingly char
itable, and having ample means,
his mother was ever busy with
public and private charities.
T.sft to the care of paid ser
vants, tutors and instructors,
over-indulged and pampered, the
child, youth, man, had 4ow ideals
set before him. These he chose
to follow.
We need not present the lesson,
especially to parents. To one
who knew the parentage of the
man it would be a hateful task,
true constitutional represeuia
tives of the people chosen by
certain equal groups of the peo
ple to represent them in the
conduct of the general; gov
ernment. They are intended to
reoresent the people and there
fore it is fitting they should be
chosen by the people, and the
constitution provides they shall
be. -
mi
Not so the Senators, iney
have no constituency, are not
chosen to represent the people of
their state but to represent, rath
er, the Government of the United
States. Their responsibility and
accountability are not to the peo
ple of their state but to its con
stituted Government.
For this reason, amonj others,
it is most appropriate , that the
chief and most powerful branch
of the State Government should
elect U. S. Senators and that they
should be of equal number from
each state. Such are the provis
ions of the constitution.
Possibly we are mistaken in
clinging somewhat reverently
to this product of Jefferson and
Washington, Hamilton, Henry,
Adams and Franklin.
Possibly Messrs. Bourne, U'Ren,
et. al. are wiser than these, but,
pardon us, we do not believe it.

The Important Functions of This Wa-
: tery Secretion.
The perspiration is a watery se
cretion of certain curiously coiled
glands in the skin. It used to be
thought that it served a useful pur
nose in removing: waste matters
I : v v-'-
from the system, and there is no
doubt that it does so in a measure,
but it cannot compare in this re
spect with the secretion of the kid
neys. Indeed it is ninety-eight and
eight-tenths parts water, and the
6olid part is chiefly chloride of so
dium, which gives it the weJl known
salty taste. Its function is to mois
ten the superficial layer of cells in
the skin and so facilitate their re
moval. But its chief use is believ
ed to be to regulate the tempera
ture of the body and prevent, bj
evaporation, excessive and danger
ous heat.
The quantity secreted depends
much upon the temperature of the
air, exercise and tne amount oi nuia
drunk. But it averages between
thirty and forty ounces a day.
It varies in inverse proportion to
the secretion of the kidneys. The
secretion is constant summer and
winter, day and night, but ordinari
ly evaporation keeps pace with it,
and it does not appear as moisture
on. the skin. This is called the in-
coTiKiWe Tersrjiration. while that
visible as water is called the sensi
ble perspiration.
It is decreased in amount in cer
tain diseases, such as diabetes, in
which the kidney secretion is enor
mously increased, and in ichthyosis,
rlrv. scalv disease of the skin.
Increased perspiration may be
purely nervous in origin, as seen in
the beads on the forehead of one
who is embarrassed, or the cold
sweat of fear or some other power
ful emotion. In some cases the in
creased perspiration is localized in
the hands and feet. If this is an
expression of general weakness, ton-

With fine frenzy and illogical
ogic some would-be constitution
tinkers ask those who prefer to
observe the provisions of the
Federal Constitution in the elec
tion of United States senators
rather than to join in a demagog
ical attempt to nullify those pro
visions, "why then, not amend
the constitution of the state so
that the legislature and' not the
people shall elect all our state
officials?"
Why amend the constitution at
all? Certainly if the legislature
may contravene the Federal con
stitution, the constitution of all
the states, it may easily nullify
the constitution of one state. In
deed it may be argued that it
would have more right to contra
vene the constitution of its own
state than that of all the other
states.
Then just see how easily it may
be done. A simple act of the
what others think and profit by their ex
perienie.
Nothing makes life so miserable, or in
terferes o widely with the usefniness of
the average American, as indit'eftion,
and it is well for us to irive fair considera
tion to what others think about this re
markable affliction.

NEW STRAWBERRIES.
WHICH THE GREATER?
The believers in heredity are
often forced to revert to a dis
tant ancestry for evidence of ma
levolent physical, mental and
moral conditions which, after
several intervening generations
of non-appearance, reappear in
some remote descendant with in
creased virulence.
Whatever may be the truth of
the power of heredity we are not
prepared to accept as true all that
is claimed by those who refer all
that constitutes a man to the in
fluence of heredity. It is true
that by careful selection and
breeding the race of men can be
and has been improved. This is
the method Nature pursues, and
she makes no mistakes. If she
produces a hybrid or a monstros
ity of any sort it is in resentment
of some interference with her
simple and wholesome laws.
The Spartans put themselves in
harmony with these laws and be-
legislature and, presto! the
change is wrought. Since the
people of all the states may not
care a straw for their constitu
tion it may be the people of Ore
gon do not care a whoop for
theirs.
All the asseverations that those
who oppose the binding force of
Statement No. 1 do so because
they distrust the ppople is the
merest clap-trap. The opposi
tion to this measure eomes from
men who are of the people, the
plain, honest, common people.
Their opposition is based on con
stitutional grounds. They ven
erate the men who framed the
constitution. The
the organic laws they gave us ;
have been demonstrated through
all the years. Those who oppose j
this statement do so because they .
find no excuse for violating the :
mandates of the constitution
since the instrument was ordain
ed by the people and contains am
ple provision adopted by them
selves for the amendment of the
instrument itself when the people
desire to amend it.
There is a wide-spread miscon
ception, however, as to the con
stitutional relations between an
U. S. Senator and the people of
the state he is from. He is not
a representative of lhe people of
his state in the same sense nor
to the same purpose and intent
that the representatives or con
gressmen are. These are the
Some Promising Sorts In Their First
Year of Fruiting.
In writing of the most promising of
newer varieties of strawberries tested
at the Ohio experiment station in 1907
F. H. Ballou says In part:
The newer varieties, fruiting for the
first time this season, did not impress
the writer as having among their
number many which will ever become
"standard" of their kind. A few are
very satisfactory, but not superior In
niiffirient decree to displace others
which by real and persistent merit
have won statements of commenda
tion from careful and conservative spe
cialists and experimenters In the past
As a whole, the new sorts fruiting at
the station for the first time in 1907
are inferior to those which were given
their initial trial in 1906.
Buster Imperfect. Berries medium
to large in size; short conical, blunt at
apex, occasionally ODiate, sume ye-i-mens
slightly furrowed; bright, fresh
crimson In color; flesh pink or light
red, sufficiently firm to carry well and
of fair quality.
This variety has a beautiful, strong
healthy plant that is very prolific. A
peculiar characteristic which was ap
parent this season was the tenacity
with which the calyx, or "suuck,
perfection of clung to the stem. Unless the stem

ers reported it "hard to pick," which,
however, was no objection when the
proper way of gathering the berries by
"nipping" the stems was observed.
This is a Canadian berry and made a
favorable Impression this season.
Another new berry is the Virginia,
of which it is said:
Virginia maKes plenty of strong,
healthy plants with rich dark green
foliage. This is the earliest imperfect
blossom variety the writer ever test
ed. It is astonishingly prolific. At the
first two pickings the ground was al
most covered with the unusually round,
bright, attractive berries. Made two
heavy pickings of salable berries, then
dropped to a size too small for market

growers and moderately productive of
very attractive berries. This is the

tcs and good food may correct the
condition, but usually local treat
ment is called for. Immersing the
palms of the hands or the soles of
the feet in water as hot as it can be
borne for about five minutes and
then, after drying, dusting them
with very finely powdered boric
acid is often of great service.

The perspiration that occurs at
night in consumption and other dis
eases, accompanied with hectic fe
ver, is often very distressing. The
quantity of water exuded is some
times enormous, soaking not only
night clothes, but the entire bedding
and mattress. If the patient's con
dition will permit, a hot bath of
four or five minutes' duration at
bedtime will sometimes prevent or
lessen night sweats. If this is not
permissible, sponging with hot vine
gar and water may be tried. A glass
of milk and half a dozen crackers
taken at midnight will also occasion

These Unschooled Natives Take Special
Care of Their Teeth.
The whiteness and beauty of the
teeth of the African negroes have,
through a mistaken idea, been gen
erally ascribed to the food which
;liev eat and to favorable climatic
?ondition3. But according to a Ger
man medical journal, the Muen
chener. Medizinische Wochenschrift,
these unschooled natives take spe
cial care of the teeth and are fa
miliar with many remedies for the
treatment of dental diseases.
From the observations of officials
in German colonies it appears that
the natives exercise more care in
preserving the teeth than do most
Europeans. They may owe the pos-
. a 1 i 1
session ot sound teetn oi ivory
whiteness partly to the influence of
environment and habits, but in ad
dition they employ many herbs,
barks and juices as prophylactic and
curative agents.
Thus in Xegombo it is customary
when a child has finished teething
to rinse the mouth with an infusion
of the leaves of a native tree with
the object of tightening the teeth.
The action of the infusion is prob
ably due to the presence of a styptic
constituent in the leaves which
causes the gums to shrink. The na
tives living near the source of the
Nile employ the roots of a legumi
nous olant. Dalbersria melanoxylon,
to relieve toothache, while the na-
tives to the west of the source of
the same river use an infusion of
the seeds of kasso, a climbing vine,
for the same purpose.
It is interesting to notice that the
use of the toothbrush is not re
stricted to the so called civilized
peoples. The African negroes f ash-

of a epecies of adansonia and other
trees. In this respect the natives
probably have an advantage over
those who use an ordinary bristle
toothbrush, which is frequently
used for six months or even longer,
indeed until it becomes too offensive
to be tolerated longer. The sticks
of wood such as the natives employ
are, on the other hand, easy to
make and cost nothing, and they
are probably used for only a short
time. And they possess the addi
tional advantage of offering less op
portunity for particles of food and
other debris to be retained mechan
ically than is the case with a bris
tle brush.

A Child's Dictionary.
The late Frederic R. Coudert,
the noted lawyer and wit, had a
great fondness for children. He
collected indefatigably the quaint
sayings of children, and one of the
treasures of his library was a small
manuscript volume called "A Child's.
Dictionary," and these are some of
the definitions that Mr. Coudert
would read from it:
Dust Mud with the juice squeezed
out of it.
Rnorrris- Letting off sleep.
Apples The bubbles that apple
trees blow.
Backbiter A mosquito.
Fan A thing to brush the warm

The Business of Sympathy.
One of the most valuable items of
one's social stock in trade nowadays
is sympathy. A little goes a tre
mendously long way, and the great
advantage is that it need never be
real. People never stop to think
wiwripr the seeming interest in
one's illnesses, the sorrow for one's
domestic worries, the interest in
one's long string of woes and wor
ries, is simulated. Nor do I honest
ly believe they really care. The ma
jority of folk just want a listening
ear and a fuss for the time being.

In the Duke of Argyll's "Mes
sages From the; Past" the author
presents this picture, of Tennyson
declaiming his verses: "He would
take us into the very center of a
large field at Freshwater, in the Isle
of Wight, to be sure that he could
not be overheard by any one lurk
ing in the hedges, before he would
stand and declaim in a deep, run
ning bass voice any piece on which
he was at worK at tne time or one
that had been specially asked for.
I remember his thus declaiming the
whole of his poem of TBoadicea'
with hardly a pause for breath."
In the same volume appears an
anecdote of Prince Bismarck at the
Berlin conference: "At dinner the
prince drank only beer, saying that
he used to drink wine, and too much
of it, but that now he could not
stand anything stronger than beer.
In obedience to Princess Bismarck
he made a good dinner, but not
enough of it in her opinion, and
when she wanted him to take more
he turned to me and said the whole
object in life of a Pomeranian haus-
frau was to rum her husband s stom
ach." The Honor Appreciated.
