Roosevelt and a Tariff Commission,

The success attending the efforts of
President Roosevelt to settle the great
coal strike will have a tendency to cause
the people to listen to his suggestion that
a tariff commission be created for the
purpose of taking into consideration the
revision of various schedules from time
TO time. particularly as the idea had al
ready commended itself to a large num-
Der of people. 1t is recognized that the
adoption Of reciprocity to the extent IA
vored by the administration will afford
no small degree of relief in the way Of
tariff reduction, and a tariff commission
would be able to take the steps necessary
TO ensure safe and conservative action
in the matter of revision.
As people study this question, they will
unQuestonablv become more and more i'm
pressed by the fact that the matter of
changing the tariff schedules should not
be subject to every political change that
occurs in connection with our frequent
congressional elections. AS a matter of
fact this subject should be removed from
the domain of politics, and that for vari-
Gus reasons In the first place the people
prosperity depends in no small degree
upon the maintenance Of a proper tariff.
no matter what that may be- and as a
natural consequence, whenever there is a
probability or even a possibility of a pro-
nounced change in the rate of customs
duties on imports, business and financial
interests at once become apprehensive. n
the tariff could he placed in control of a
non partisan commission of careful men
and hedged about with conditions to pre-
vent too radical and too rapid changes
there would he no likelihood of disturb
ances of business and industry from this
source.
In the second place m arrangement OF
this character would make it possible to
revise only one schedule in a certain Pc
riod, leaving other changes to be made
later. In this way tariff revision could be
effected gradually and the country would
thus avoid any untoward effect that might
follow revision of the whole tariff
In the third place a tariff commission
could he made up Of experts and business
men and statesmen in well considered
proportion and so constituted that a re-
vision of any given schedule could be made
Independent of any partisan or local con-
siderations, but taking into account the
interests of the country as a whole These
conditions would be likely to combine to
make possible a much wiser and much
more beneficial tariff than could the pres
ent custom Of using the tariff as politi-
cal foot ball to be tossed and kicked back
and forth across our presidential and con-
gressionaI fields.
The gain to our business, financial and
Industrial interests from the increased
stability and steadiness thus assured
would be inestimable, and business men
everywhere would have granted their
prayer to be left alone except In cases
where thorough investigation show
cd revision to be greatly needed. We
snail be surprised IL President Roosevelt S
advocacy of the creation Of a tariff com
mission does not become one of the most
popular acts of his administration.

There's mauy a cause for headache.
Men are not often troubled by headaches.
When they are it is generally due to bill
iousness or indigestion. But women
have headaches which seem peculiar to
their sex, frequent nervous throboing
headaches. Does it not seem ~ II such
headaches peculiar to women must be at
once related to womanly disease? Wom-
en- who suffer with diseases peculiar to
the sex do not realize the drain OF vital
strength and nerve force they undergo
as q consequence of disease. 1t Is this
which causes the familiar headaches of
sick women.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
cures such headaches by curing the
cause -irregularity, weakening drains,
inflamyation, liberation OF female weak
ness, "Favorite Prescription" invigor-
ates and tones up the entire system, en-
courages the appetite, quiets the nerves
and gives refreshing sleep.
Ut was troubled with congestion OF the uterus
and female weak ness for Ave years, writes Mrs
Robt. Kerwin, of Albert Hastings Co. Ont
"was SO weak and nervous ] could hardly do
any work. Had severe pain in back, also di1H-
ness and pain in head. My heart would beat so
hard and fast at times would have 70 SIT still
till | got all right again, But after taking four
bottles OF DR., Pieree's Fayorite prescription and
one of his Golden Medical Discovery ] felt
entirely we'll. ! also used one box OF Lotion
Tablets aud one OF Suppositories as directed.
All the symptoms OF my trouble have disap p
peared and am completely cured thank you
Tor your kind advice and your medicine"

decision of the licensing board but with
the right of appeal and police officers are
required once a month to make oath
whether they have knowledge or have re-
ceived information of or had their atten-
ton called to any violation of law or UNI
licensed selling. The Conand bill also
provides for pure liquors, and the penalty
is from 500 to $500 and forfeiture of license
for violation of any of the conditions or
prohibitions of the act.
1t is evident that DIR. Commands bill has
some features which the committee can
wisely embody In the measure which they
are to introduce as committee bill; and
II a combination of the best provisions of
these three measures is submitted to the
people. no man can truthfully claim that
the advocates of local option have not had
fair play in connection with the referen-
dun.
