tariff
The Democratic publicity bureau
says the tariff Is not being talked
th'i year. The wish is father to
their thought. As a matter of
fact, half the Democratic rank and
file is in favor of a protective tar
iff. All Republicans are In favor
o* It. Thousands of Democrats,
who are not talking much of their
iuigutions, will vote the Republi
cs* Ucket because they; believe in
•"America First" rather thaa the
free trade policy which, places the
foreign producer first. If there is
lit'le talk of the ta-rlff, it is be
cause people have made up their
nr mis that a protective tariff is
absolutely essential ro the Made
iu-America movement, in which
nearly all Americans beiieve.

FUTURE OF ALASKA.
A Comparison of Our Territory With
tha Scandinavian Countries.
Alaska has the same latitude as Den
mark, Norway, Sweden and Finland
and similar climatic conditions. The
game development mu.v be expected In
Alaska that has obtained In those
Scandinavian countries, increased and
Intensified by tier enormously great
latent resources.
The Scandinavian countries have 16,- !
000 square miles under cultivation andj
75.000 square mites In cm zinc. Ourde- j
pertinent of agriculture bus classified '
60,000 square miles In Alaska as suit- |
able for cultivation, located mostly la I
the Susltwa, Tanana und Iiuskokwin J
valleys, with an additional 100.000 suit- j
able for bay and grazing, and another j
100,000 square miles of reindeer range, j
Tbls estimate makes available for ag
ricultural purposes 260,000 square
miles of the 500.440 square miles which
constitute Alaska's total area.
Alaska's annual output of gold Is
$20,000,000. Fisheries produce nearly
as much; it bas the richest and largest
copper deposits In the world; it has
coal deposits equaling those of Penn
sylvanla and West Virginia In quality
and surpassing them In volume.
The Scandinavian countries have 12,
000,000 population and 14,000,000 head
of live stock. Applying the same ratio
to the available lands of Alaska would
give her a population of 30,000.000,
with 80,000.000 live stock.—Ilou. A
Barton Hepburn in Leslie's.
SHAPE OF THE SHOE.
It Is Radically Wrong, and All on Ac
count of the Last.
In the American Magazine Dr. Ar
thur K. Reynolds, former health com
mlssloner of Chicago, tells of the many
troubles that can make life miserable
and that come from feet that were
neglected in childhood Among other
things he says:
"Children should go barefooted at all
times while Indoors and through the
summer. They should never wear any
foot covering at any time that In any
way distorts the toes or any part of
the foot or that interferes in any way
with Its normal growth and develop
ment The same may be said of adults
"Any reform In the shape of shoes
must begin with the shoemaker's last
Shoemakers do not seem to be able to
get away from form and beauty In
shaping It It Is shaped largely by
guess and Is pointed and turned up at
the toe. No normal foot Is so shaped.
"The only rational last is made from
a plaster cast of the foot while bearing
weight, and the mold caa be made only
of Dome semi-solid material that hard
ens when cool or dry. There is little
hope of getting a rationally shaped
shoe until the wooden last Is totally
discarded. It is safe to assert that
good looking and noudeformlng shoes

The Magio Shave.
The man with a retreating chin may
grow a beard and hide It. or he may
frankly shave the exiguous offender,
careless whether It recedes or not The
utmost candor may be seen In a shaven
chin, and of all the manly, valorous
qualities that of candor, downright
nesa, may be ranked first The weak
ness attributed to a retreating chin
may be canceled by shaving It The
man who accepts his face as nature
gave It to him. braving it to the world
without concealment or decoratiou.
must be classed among those with the
manly quality. Cartoonists and novel
lsta have waived the weak chin to the
limbo of the Inefficient and inept Let
the man without the masterful Jaw
take bean; be has but to shave to
show the qualities desired.—Atlantic.
Too Sensitive.
It was the first night after the show
The leading womau's mother was
downcast
"What's the trouble, dear?" asked
the leading woman In surprise. "1

The old lady was surprised.
"Did you, Sophie? I heard the audi
ence shouting 'Play right! Play right!'
and 1 thought you had failed."
And the leading woman laughed In
amusement
"Why, my dear, they were shouting
'Playwright! Playwright!' "—Chicago
Tribune.
