WORDS. WORDS, WOROS.
Dr. Albert Shaw record* the pro
gress of the world in the "Review ot
he views." In the current Dumber he
adverts to President Taft in these
words.:
"With all his experience as an ex
ecutive officer and a statesman, Mr.
Tan's f iv* test quail tie * those of
.udge an?* umpire."
The conception of Mr. Taft as a
treat Judge is widely and reasonably
held. To his judicial mind we should
I ke to put a problem Involving inten
sive consideration of the words "thor
ough, honest and substantial" ? the
terms used by Mr. Taft a year ago
ti. promising revision downward. We
a " consider the evidence of the de
tendent only. Sereno Elisha Payne,
author ot the tariff bill. In the speech
tu which be begged his fellow-Con
gressmen to accept the bill (Jul}- SO.
l-age 45*14 of the Congressional Re
cord) used this language.
"Gentlemen, talk about equivalent
ad valorem. The equivalent ad val
orem for 1907 under the Dingle;- law
was 42.55 per cent I'pon the same
articles coming Into the United State
under this conference report the
equivalent ad valorem will be 41. Sit
per cent, a decrease of equivalent ad
taloreoi of I per cent"
Not quite one per cent ? to be ex
act, ninety- -seven one-hundredths of I
one per cent. Shorn of 1U techni- 1
calities, Mr. Payne'a statement is
that the tariff has been reduced nine
ty-seven one-hundredths of one per
cent. Accepting this view f.oV the
moment as correct- -for it Is d.n<?l
by responsible men ? the judicial ques
tion we should like to propound to
Vr. Taft as a great nut;lrt <s ihio
IVh-s ninety -seven one-h<?nl?"edib? of
one per cent meet the definitions giv
en in standard dictionaries for the
words thorough, honest and substan
Ual"? Dr. Shaw say* farther in his
analysis of Mr. Taft's qualities:
"He is conspicuous as an expon
ent of justice, as a harmonlzer .and
as a finder of the reasonable middle
vourse where compromise involves
ho sacrifice of principle." ? Collier's
WeeUy.
THE GOSSIPS.
!How often, my friends, when the
long day is ended. and all of Its
labors are gone to the whence, when
the shadow of night on the earth
ha* descended, we gossip with neigh
bors across the back fence; we tear
into rags Gaffer Gray's reputation,
and call him a miser who ought to be
thot, we say that old Brown's a dis
grace to the nation,' and blame the
police that he's never been caught.
Relating old scandals with elegant
diction, our bosoms are filled with
Ue sweetest of bliss; when we run
out of facts we are ready with fic
tion. and any old fable will not come
amiss. When we have exhausted our
stock of romance*, and taken the hid
?.tt of fri-ad and of foe, we ?o to
thai *K-ep (as the evening advance#)
which only the moral and virtuoas
know. A: morn, as we go to our
various labors, in office, or stable or
Ice works or store, we often moot
up with those terrible neighbors,
whoee records we shredded the even
ing before. With sannyjim smiles
oa our faces we greet em, and make
a great fuss in our glad, cordial way.
?rd people might think we are go
ing to eat 'em ? for Brown is a daisy.
and so's Gaffe* Gray! ? Walt Masoa.

Say* a Pitcher U Not a Ball Playar.
One* I asked Mathcwson why, gen
erally, pitchers cannot bat well. 'Re
cause a pitcher Is not a ball player,"
answered this unerring young man i
awlftly. This Is largely tree, even ;
thonch epigrammatic. latching Is an
art as subtle as fencing. The pitcher
Is a specialist. Above all, he Is a
pitcher. He may be In addition a ball
player, but he may not he. If he Is
not he has to he made Into one, for
pitchers do not grow on every tree."?

Daylight and Clock Time.
Qv*?Tftl wewlff I* expressed (bit the
"dnylllthl" bill, In ohm**' of Cmtitwi
man lYier* nt Washington, hns now
Iwn thought of lw*f<?ro. When under
stood It trill l?e considered an innova
tion of grvnt tin|>ortanee. While t>e
Ins freely tlMWWd, changes nod Im
provements are Incorporated In the
plana. Th? In tost bill Introduced In
the English parliament haa Iwn
amended to avoid the complications
whl^h raised many objection* to the
earlier one.
The present Hrltlah plan Is on the
third Sunday In April to set all the
clocks forward to 4:4H a. in., when the
hands according to present schedule
would point to 8:45 a. m., which would
practically put the clock an hour
"fast," as we say, and pet worker*
and the people all over the country to
rise an hour earlier than usual with
out knowing It after the first day.
This would move all time schedules
along one hour without requiring any
change of railroad time or schedule,
because the advancing of the clocks
one hour would be universal. We
should emancipate ourselves and live,
labor and enjoy by the natural or siln
time If we adopted the plans proposed
In Great Britain.? Cs W. Hall In Na
tional Magazine.
A Dutch Jok*.
"I was at The Hague at the birth of
the Princess Juliana," said Dr. J a mo*
C Carter of Puluth. "There wore
Croat times at The Hague. Champagne
Instead of coffer was drunk for break
fast. Many practical Jokes were play
ed that <Jay. For Instance:
"At noon a lot of the big hotels and
government offices and cafes were no
tified? the document of notification
looked Imposing and official? that In
honor Of the royal birth a salute of
seventy-eight pounders. Instead of the
usual amaller puns, would be fired at
3 o'clock, and to prevent accidents by
concussion of air It was requested that
all door*, windows and shutters be
hermetically closed.
"So, at a few minutes of 3 o'clock
all over The Hague shutter* and doors
were banned to by bustling waiters
and sonants, bolts were shut and
thousands of people sat smiling. tn
black and stifling darkness, as they
waited for a thunder of the suns.
"Three passed? no report? 8:05, 3:10.
3:15.
"And gradually the people realised
that they had l?een hoiaxed. that the
antique seventy-eight pounder pun has
boon out of use for more than a gen- i
oration."? Exchange
