The figures given as the profit
brought into the United States
during the last ten years as a re-
suit of the Dingley Tariff law are
So, 527, ,698, 1926. The result is that
every man, woman and child old
enough to labor has had employ
ment, and business in all depart
'ments is good. The farmer can
sell everything he can raise,
whereas a few years ago there
was no profitin raising live stock.
And yet there are those who will
cry out against the Tariff and de-
mand it's repeal, forgetting the
time when, not so very many
years ago, the mills were closed
all over the country, and those
that did attempt to keep their
help employed were glad of any
excuse to shut down for a week
or a day. We have no desire to
see those times duplicated, and
they will not be if the people
keep their heads. Yes, of course
prices are higher than they were
then; they have to be in order to
pay better wages-fact was ma
ny did not earn any wages in
those days-but it is better to
pay a little more and have some
thing with which to pay, than to
have low prices and no money to
buy with. Steamboats, at a cent
apiece are high if you haven't

Every unprecedented observer
of the present Administration
must regard with admiration the
marked change in administrative
methods which President Roose-
velt has introduced. The Presi-
dent is a firm believer in the ad-
vantages to be derived from per-
sonal observation and contact
with the people. He has there
fore urged the members of his
cabinet whenever possible to
leave their desks and 90 them
selves to the scenes of their re-
spective operations in order that
they might acquire a more prac-
teal knowledge of the affairs
with which they are called upon

A stair carpet should never be swept
with long handled broom. but always
with short one and dustpan held
under each step.
This ia the end saves work, for the
dust does not fly and therefore the
halls are not made dirty by it.
Another thing to remember about
carpets when they are to be taken up
for cleaning is that the floors IL washed
shall be quite dry before the carpets
are tackled down again. Otherwise the
nails will rust and cause bad places In
the wool.
Grease spots may be removed by
means of paste made of boiling wa
ter poured on equal quantities of mag
nesia and fullers earth. This paste,
while it is hot, must be placed on t
spots and brushed off when quite dry.

To Hurry Up Canal Work.

Many members of Congress
who expect to be on the commit
tees which will be called upon to
make appropriations for the Pan
anna Canal are making arrange
mCnts to visit the isthmus before
the session begins. They will do
this for the purpose of seeing
what work has been done, what
is doing, and what is needed to
be done. The president, it is
understood, is to give more space
to canal matters in his coming
message than he has done here
tofore, and Congress will need to
inform itself on the subject at
first hand, in order to act intelli-
gently. The president made a
trip to the canal zone last fall,
and the result was quickly seen
in some changes which he made
in the working forces at the 18TH
mus, and in legislation which he
urged in special message.
One of the objects of the com
ing visit of congressman to the
isthmus is to devise means to
hurry the work forward. AS the

to deal than is possible where all
information is gained from inter-
mediaries. 1t is in accordance
with this policy that the Secre-
tary of the Interior has just COM
pleted an extensive trip which
has taken him into practically ev-
cry western state. Secretary
Garfield has visited the forest re-
serves, the land Offices, the irri-
cation projects and has come into
the closest contact with the peo-
pie who will be most affected by
his administrative acts, and it is
certain that the information
which he has thus acquired will
be more accurate and trustworthy
than that which ordinarily reach
es cabinet officers through men,
bers of Congress whose views are
more than often biased by politi-
cal consideration and eXpediency.
Clifford PinchOt, Chief Forester,
who has been often charged with
being a theorist, has also, upon
the Presidents suggestion, spent
his summer in the national for
est country. Judge Ballinger,
Commissioner of the General
Land Office, has visited most of
the local land offices. 1t is a
weakness, or a virtue, of Presi-
dent Roosevelt that he always
wants his information as nearly
first hand as he can possibly get
it. For instance, he asked Sec
retary Root last summer to visit
the countries of South America
in the belief that a more intimate
acquaintance and a closer famil-
iarity with the problems which
confront our neighbors to the
south would make for more
friendly relations and greater
success in any diplomatic nego-
tiations which may arise. The
same purpose actuated the Pres
ident when he asked Secretary
Taft to go to the Philippines and
open the Philippine assembly. 1t
is the hope of the President and
of Secretary Taft that the Fill
pinos may gradually be educated
to a point where they can sue
cessfully govern themselves. To
that end they have been granted
an assembly, every act of which
may be vetoed by the Philippine
Commission, which will continue
to be appointed by the President.
This assembly, they believe, will
enable the Filipinos to learn the
process of self government. Mr..
Taft goes there first to observe
the progress which has been
made in the islands since he left
there, two years ago, and sec
ondly to impress upon the people
the responsibilities which devolve
upon them as result of the mea-
sure of self-government which
has been granted them. Secre-
tary Wilson is making an exten-
ded tour of the western states
with the purpose of learning the
extent to which his efforts to
benefit the farmer have been sue
cessful, and how best to direct
these efforts in the future in or
der that they may accomplish the
greatest good.

of the bullets selected was fired into
