The meaning of progressive pig
party" may be somewhat dark to the
uninitiated; neither will its eXplana-
ton be found in Smiths Synonyms"
but that is the title applied TO the So
cial event given Friday evening by the
Lambda Tan Kappa frat at the home
of Miss Ruth Gamble on Sixth avenue.
At the event the girls making up the
membership of the frat entertained
their gentlemen friends in royal style.
Progressive pig" was played with the
result that Carl Elmstedt won first
prize for the boys; Ruth Gamble the
girls first and Robert Evans the con-
ISOLATION gift. At the proper time the

The semi-annual apportionment of
the schools of Scott county has been
completed and the list of scholars be-
tween the ages of and 21 years has
been computed. The total number of
male students in the county between
the two ages named above is S.541 and
the total number of females is S,424.
Thus it will be seen that the male
children i'm the county exceed the fe-
male by III. This includes of course
all those who are between the two
ages whether they are I'm attendance
at any school or not, and is an eX-

to be rs cents per student or the total

DAVENPORT DOTS

The telephone wire running from Tip
to Davenport has been cut into the To-
cal exchange and the new telephone
company has added another large
area to its territory. The line which
was connected up Saturday starts at
Upton and goes south to Mt. JOY,
taking in twenty or thirty smaller
towns on the way. Exchanges have
been established in each of these
smaller towns, and it brings in di-
rect connection with Davenport thou
sands of people. The line extends a
distance of some so miles and it opens
up a territory that has never before
been in direct connection with the
city.

rarln scaeduIes carry rates OF duty on
thousands of different articles.
Disastrous in Amy Event.
Sweeping and violent changes in
such tariff, touching so vitality the
interests of all OF us. embracing agri-
culture, labor, manufactures and COM
merce, would be disastrous in any
event. and they would be fatal to our
present wellbeing if approached on
the theory that the principle of the
protective tariff was to be abandoned.
The business world. that is. the entire
American world, cannot afford, If it
has any regard for its own welfare.
even to consider the ACCESSIBILITY of
abandoning the present system.
Yet, on the other hand, where tine
Industrial conditions so frequently
change, as with US must Of necessity
be the case. ii is a matter of prime
Importance that we should be able
from time to timeSto adapt our econ
omic policy to the changed conditions.
Our aim should be to preserve the
policy of a protective tariff, in which
the nation as whole has acquiesced,
and yet wherever and whenever neces-
sary to change the duties in particular
paragraphs or schedules as matters OF
legislative detail, If such change is
demanded by the interests of the
nation as Il whole.
In making any readjustment there
are certain important considerations
which cannot be disregarded. If "A
tariff law has on the whole worked
we'll, and if business has prospered
under it, and is prospecting, it may be
better to endure some Inconvenience
and inequalities for time than by
making changes to risk causing dis
turbance and perhaps paralysis in the
industries and business Of the cOun-
try.

Many Interests Affected.

Every tariff deals with duties on
thousands of articles arranged in hum
dreds of paragraphs and in many
schedules. These duties affect vast
number of interests which are often
conflicting. If necessary for our well
fare, then, of course, congress must
consider the question of changing the
law as a whole or changing any given
rates of duty, but we must remember
that whcneN er even n single schedule
is considered some interests will APP
pear to demand a change in almost
every schedule in the law; and when
it comes TO upsetting the schedule
generally the effect upon the business
interests OF the country would be ruin
Gus.
One point we must steadily keep in
mind The question of tariff revision,
speaking broadly, stands wholly apart
from the question of dealing with the
trusts. No change in tariff duties can
have any substantial effect in solving
the so-called trust problem. Certain
great trusts or great corporations are
wholly unaffected by the tariff. Prac
tically all the others that are of any
nave us a LldllCI VI luCl
numbers of smaller American COM
petitors: and. of course, change in
the tariff which would work injury to
the large corporation would work not
merely injury but destruction to its
smaller competitors; and equally, of
course, such a change would mean dis
aster to all the wage-workess con-
nected with either the large or the
small corporations. From the stand
point of those interested in the solu-
ton of the trust problem such change
would therefore merely mean the trust
was relieved of the competition of its
weaker American competitors. and
thrown only into competition with for
eign competitors; and that the first eff
fort to meet this new competition
would be made by cutting down wages,
and would. therefore, be primarily at
the cost of labor
Effect Upon the TruSts.
In the case of some of our greatest
trusts such change might confer up
on them a positive benefit. Speaking
broadly. it is evident that the changes
in the tariff will affect the trusts for
veal or for woe simply as they affect
the whole country. The tariff affects
trusts only as it affects all other in
terests. 1t makes all these interests,
large or small. profitable; and its bene-
fits can be taken from the large only
under penalty OF taking them from
the small also.
To sum up. then, we must as a peO-
pie, approach a matter of such prime
economic Importance as the tariff
from the standpoint OF our business
needs We cannot afford to become
fossilized or TO fail to recognize the
fact that as the needs OF the country
