"Standinq Patn
From The New York World

1t is small wonder that the mono
poles sheltered by the tariff" as
the Iowa Republicans put it when
they had the courage Of their con-
victions, are anxious to stand pat
with the party that Stands pa" on
the Dingley tariff.
The iron and steel exports from
this country last year were valued at
little short Of $lO0,O00,000. And
yet to "protect" this colossal indus
try from foreign competition in our
home market, while we are thus in
vading the foreign market, the
"standpatters" maintain an average
duty of so per cent!
In the month of December our
Steel Trust sold abroad rails valued
at $2O3,741. The price is not
given, but it is known to have been
below the price charged to Ameri-
can railroads by at least the full
amount Of the duty--$7.5O per ton.
Nearly $6,O00,000 worth Of pipes
and fittings were sold abroad in
1903 in open competition with for
eign manufacturers.
No wonder that Mr.. Chamberlain
is making Roadway in his crusade
for an offensive and defensive tar
iff with which to fight the COM
bines that monopolize our home
market at extortionate prices while
cutting under" the English prices
in that country.

War in the Orient.

Japan has severed diplomatic re-
lations with Russia, and will pro
badly attack Russia with great en-
ergy in the very near future.
1t is not improbable that in the
first clash Of arms, especially on the
ocean, the Japanese will be victor
ious. But what will come later?
Can the little brown men from the
Islands of the Pacific resist an ava
lanche of charging Cossacks? II
they do they will prove themselves
better soldiers than the Turks OF
the Tartars, or even the Frenchmen
under the leadership Of Napoleon,
the greatest military commander of
modern times. 1t is probable that
the other great nations will main
tain strict neutrality and that in
the long run Japan will be crushed
and in the settlement which follows,
China will be partitioned between
England, Russia, France and Ger
many, and possibly the United
States may get small piece Of the
Flowery Kingdom.

Sunshine and Fresh Air Prevent Pneu-
monia.

Pneumonia is the cause of more
deaths in this country every yeal
than any other one disease. Its
rapid increase in recent years is said
to be due to the coddling habits of
the people; especially those who
live in large cities. It's a disease
begotten by overhousing, overcrowd-
ing, overeating, overdrinking and
overcoddling, and the best preventa-
tives known are sunshine and fresh
air. The Journal of the American
Medical association is quoted as fol-
lows:
"We would be harder race if
we coddled ourselves less, and the
worst form Of coddling from which
we suffer is in our .-oyerheated and

and hot-water heated flats, with

HopKINToh.

The farmers in the vicinity of
Hazel Green are seriously consider
ing the proposition of forming
new creamery association. Since
the Palmer-Hubbard company has
completed its creamery at Ryan
they have reduced the Hazel Green
establishment to skimming station

operative creamery is great success
and great profit maker when it is
conducted along the right lines.
With responsible farmers as men,
bers of the company, prepared to
maintain competent management
the business is an assured success
and all profits are distributed at
home. With SO many prosperous
cooperative creameries in operation
in this country as standing exam
plesit is wonder that any other is
allowed to exist at all.

Following an Operation.

died at 4 o'clock in the afternoon at
his residence, ST. Fifth avenue, OF
peritonitis and poisoning, follow
ing surgical operation for Appendix
citis.
Death came after an illness of four
days and only little more than three
hours after the the issuance OF u bull
letin stating that the condition Of the
patient showed Improvement. 1t was
said by attaches of the household that
the end came while Mr.. Whitney was
under the influence of an anaesthetic
preparatory to second operation.
Mr.. Whitney's career as lawyer, re-
former, cabinet minister, business man,
lover of the turf and society leader,
was an enviable one, but his most no
table achievement was the reorgan-
izing and building Of the American
navy, paving the way for victories that
gave liberty to Cuba and wrested from
Spanish domination Porto Rico and the
Philippines. When Grover Cleveland
was imugurated in 1885 lie placed the
department of the navy in the hands
of Mr.. Whitney. Then began the plan
| of reorganization that has had remark
able results.
Mr.. Whitney retired from office in
1850, and since that time refused all
political or diplomatic offices. He re-
turned to active business and proceed
ed to unite and systematic the trac-
ton lines of New York city. He Gre
ated the present great combination of
lines known as the Metropolitan Street
Railway company. which unites all the
