THE EMIGRATION BILL.
The Democrats have struck a
popular note by framing a bill for
restricting the emigration of
foreigners. American people have
always welcomed to these shores,
honest and well meaning foreigners
from all countries, but this invita
tion has been abused by the great
steamship companies who are
dumping criminals on us at a dan
gerous rate from Southern Elurope.
and the Democrats who are pro
viding for a test of their illiteracy)
before receiving them will be sup
ported by true Americans every
where. New York is now giving a
horribie example of the awful con
sequences that follow too rapid an
influx of the lower grades of people
from European counties.
HEARING ON THE NEW TARIFF BILL.
Hon. Oscar W. Underwood of
Alabama, chairman of the V/ays
and Means Committee, has an
nounced that tariff hearings will
start on Jan. 6, and all parties who
have an interest in tariff legislation
will be invited to express their'views
before the Ways and Means Com
mittee. The country at large is
commending Mr. Underwood for
his promptness in taking up this j
matter and it is believed that hej
will have a complete bill ready to
present to Congress by the time
that Mr. Woodrow Wilson is in
augurated president. The House
will then debate the bill for a short
while and then pass it and then
send it to the Senate where it is
expected that it will pass much
more promptly than tariff bills have
heretofore.
THE PROTECTIVE HUMBUG
It has been proven that there is
practically no industry in this coun
try that really needs the benefit of
\ protective tariff as those who are
clamoring for the benefits for pro
tection are selling their goods in
the foreign countries where, of I
course, they have to compete with
the foreign manufacturer, and if
they can pay the freight across the
ocean, and meet the foreigner and
undersell him on his own ground,
he certainly needs no protection in
competing with the foreigner at
home. The Democrats are going
to end the humbugory of protection
and it is regretted that the neces
sity for revenue with which to run
the government will not permit a
lower reduct’on in the tariff than is
contemplated.

HUMAN BURRS IN THE WORLD
Unwise People Who Eore Their
Friends With Their Display of
Lack of Tact.
Do you ever encounter inquisitive
people who are really annoying—peo
ple who have not the least interest
in your affairs, but simply “want to
know” out of idle curiosity? A great
share of America’s reputation for rude
ness may be laid entirely to the charge
of their riling questions. Equally un
desirable is the person who confides
her family troubles to all her friends.
Instead of putting the stoutest kind of
padlock on the closet door where the
family skeleton lurks, some women
shameless'v drag it out and parade
in the public eye.
The too-friendly individual who runs
in at all hours without ringing and
offers her services upon every occa
sion, and the woman who monopolizes
or tries to monopolize all the time
and attention of her friends is like
wise to be avoided. "Dearie, if you
are thinking of going shopping this
week, let me know and I’ll go with
you. Stop for me if you go to the
matinee on Wednesday.”
It never occurs to them that their
company might not Ire appreciated.
But just as the burrs of the field make
us appreciate the flowers more than
ever, so do the human burrs teach us
to rejoice in the pleasant, considerate,
sensible friends that fall to one’s lot j
lor the latter outnumber the former j
many, many times.—Exchange.
DIGNITY IN LOW NUMBERS
New York Business Men Said to At
tach Importance to Figures of
Their Telephones.
"Such a small thing as a telephone j
number has some significance in the
standing of a firm,” remarked a New !
Yorker who had little else to do but i
talk and observe.
"How so?” asked the other.
"Take the iow numbers—‘Broad 1,’
for instance—and, as a rule, it will be |
the number belonging to an old estab- I
lisheS firm, provided, of course, that j
firm has remained in one location. The
firm now bearing the above number |
was In existence before telephones
were in use at all, and in like manner I
It is possible to ascertain the old es
tablishes] business houses. If a firm j
moves, but remains in the same ex
change, it has the privilege of retain
ing its original telephone number.
Americans don't care much for ago
and long established anything, as a
class, but there are many firms in this
city that are proud of their telephone I
numbers in a Fystem where the num I
bers run high lip in the thousands.”
Saints and Sinner*.
Goodness itself can be so overgood
that you can’t distinguish it from
badness.
When saints make sandwich men of
themselves, advertising their virtues
to the public, extolling their own ten
der, angelic qualities, you want to kill
them.
If only some of the pains taken to
make human beings good were ex
pended in trying to make them happy
what, a different place this old world
would be.
If only teachers and preachers and
parents and fanatics and reformers
would realize that what people need
is a little sunshine sent into their
lives before they talk about response
bilities and a future state.
There are children and grown
people so cobwehbed over with care
and misery that all talk of “how good”
to them is useless. Their only hope
—their only salvation—lies in infusing
a little sympathy, consideration and
happiness into their lives.
Often it is a mother—weary, body
and sou). Tired of plodding, tired of
working on in a round of endless de
tail—little, insignificant, provoking
items that she gets no credit for do
ing, but fatal discredit for leaving
undone.
Telling the Time in Turkey.
In Turkey the watch and clock are
extremely rare and a big crowd of
persons could be rounded up on the
street without finding a watch among
them, but the natives have an exceed
ingly ingenious way of approximating
the time and some of them hit it with
considerable accuracy. They locate
two cardinal points of the compass
and then folding their hands together
in such a manner that the forefingers
point upward and in opposite direr
tions, they observe the shadow cast
in the morning or evening at certain
known hours one finger or the other
will point directly at the sun. A
comparison of the two shadows will
determine the hours between. Anoth
er system followed in that country
and some others of the orient is to
observe the eyes of a cat. Early In
the morning and evening the pupils
are round. At nine and three o’clock,
it is oval and at noon it consists of
a narrow slit.
Girl Walks to Work Asleep.
Miss Nellie Lerra. a pretty young
girl of Point), township, in her sleep
early this morning arose from her bed
and walked to a local cap factory,
where she was an employe. She was
barefooted and attired only in a flimsy
low-necked night gown. She was not
seen by anybody and finally reached
the factory and was about to try to
enter when the tooting of a locomo
tive close by w oke her.
Realizing her perdieament, the girl
grew excited and ran back home at
top speed. She fell senseless from
nervous exhaustion to the floor of her
home.—Northumberland Correspon

Declares It Is Impossible for A*-yor, e
to Predict That 1912 Will End in
Peace—Russia Attempted to
End Present Conflict.
Berlin. Germany.—That Europe has
passed throifgh the two first months
of spring without a catastrophe ol any
hind in the diplomatic field must not
be taken to mean that the sky is now
cloudless and the horizon clear. On
the contrary, ominous rumblings are
heard everywhere, and no one dares
prophesy that 1912 will end in peace.
During the last two weeks a corrd
■pendent of a Washington paper
. rites, events have happened which
have puzzled the diplomats of ali the
great countries—events which seem
to predict the imuilnency of material
changes in the delicate balance of old
Europe. Our poor old world, in spite
of all Us enlightenment, still possesses
Us political sphinx, situated within the
confines of Russia.
V,! t Russia's plans really are no
me i tr knows, least of all, probably,
he ■ and peace-loving czar him
elf. Russia gave the first impulse to
he new grouping of the powers when,
tnder Alexander III., a strong and
irile ruler of extraordinary guts as
i statesman, the concluded the alii
ace with France, w hich became tin
nshaken corner stone of the Euro
can position. Now, at least, it seem:..
>.s if this corner stone is he s firm than
efore. France and Russia are no
longer in perfect harmony, and Russia
■lamed the French ambassador to St.
’clersburg for the jarring note of the
Uscord which was dimly heard b>
hose whose ears are always pressed
'gainst the ground.
Russia wanted to put an end to the
war between Italy and Turkey, but she
wanted something herself from the
tovernment in Constantinople in ex
hange for her friendly services, and
he hoped, naturally, to be backed up
ty France. In this hope she was dis
appointed, and the closing of the Dar
danelles, which followed, caused the
greatest irritation in St. Petersburg,
because it brought home very forcibly
to the Russian statesmen the immense
disadvantage and danger of their era
ire not controlling the outlets from
he Black sea. Now. of course, the
Dardanelles are once more open, but
many a statesman’s head will lie un
easily until the Russian sphinx has
epoken and made known its plans defi
nitely. Meanwhile it is admitted that
the continuance of the Italo-Turkish
war is not iree from danger.
Italy cannot think of an advance in
Tripoli until the autumn, and may not
be able to do so even then. Nor can
rtaiy withdraw with honor. There is
:n impasse which European diplomacy
will have to remove. But no states
man has yet found a way, and all that
M. Sazanoff’s attempts have so far
achieved is the diplomatic sensation in
Paris. ,
VAIN HUNT FOR $323 LOOT
Lawyers Believe Client, Who Says, “It's
Buried on Bank of River and V/as
Taken From Man.”
Pittsburg.—It has often been de
clared that lawyers will go to unusual
lengths to secure fees, but it has re
■named for two prominent Pittsburg
attorneys—John S. Robb, Jr., and Fili
io Canuli—to take shovel and pick
;nd go digging along a river bank for
reasure which a client had confided
o them was burled here.
Robb and Canuti were engaged to
defend Lndina Muscardello, who was
charged with killing Lugi Fataloni
Muscardello, on engaging the attor
neys, explained that he had no money
•o pay them, but that lie had
juried ou the river banks, which they i
could procure.
Muscardello gave the location and
lirections to be followed in Hie search
'or the buried treasure. He claimed
•.e had robbed an old man of the
nonev and buried it just previous to
he murder of Fataloni.
Attorneys Robb and Canuti procured
a shovel and dug according to the di- j
rections. Finally, they gave up the j
task. Muscardello still insists the
.roney was buried at the spot indi
cated.
REMOVES DOG'S APPENDIX
Vivisectionist at Garfield, Kan., in
Demonstrating, Discovers Ani
mal Is Diseased.
Garfield, Kan.—Dr. A. M. Morrow of
this place performed a surgical opera
tion on a deg at the high school here
in order to give a demonstration of
the heart action. In cutting into the
animal it was found to have a bad
case of appendicitis.
The appendix was successfully re
moved but the case was such a bad
one that the paCcnt could not have
survived the operation, so an addition- 1
al anesthetic was administered and the
animal was sacrificed in the progress
ov the demonstration as originally in
tended.
