Would Reduce Cost Of LIyina,

Mr. Haldane, the British war secre.
tary, has just placed an order for 400.
900 horse shoes in this country. Horse
shoes are protected by tariff OF one
cent pound. Under that duty the
American buyer of horse shoes pays
considerably higher price for them
than the British army This Is only
one recent example of the familiar
fact of high prices for home consump
ton, low prices for the foreign buyer
The Standard OIL monopoly is a fat
tened child of the tariff. oil itself is
duty free. In practice the Standard
would stamp out foreign competition
as 1t stamps out domestic competition:
and upon many Of its more than a
hundred by.products It is heavily pro.
tected So It too sells abroad far
cheaper than at home.
The tariff duties on potatoes, blank.
cts. knit goods, tin plate, wooden yarns
and clothing, soap oilcloth, linen,
glassware, affect directly every shop,
ping woman; upon thousand articles
they affect her indirectly. 4 reason.
able reduction Of the tariff. not in
1909, but now, would reduce in every
home the cost Of living.

The Little Brown Man.

The war department thinks self
government is failure in the Philip
pines, because a large majority of the
Filipinos voted for the party that
stood for independence. 1t is n good
joke the little brown men played on
the President and the war department
by making them believe up to the
day Of the election of the Philippine
legislature that they favored the party
which had declared for statehood and
being part OF the United States. II
was really too bad to deceive those
great and good men who were taxing
without representation and governing
the Filipinos without their right to
say yea or nay. But the mask has
been removed and the Independents
will now have a chance to discuss the
continuation Of enormous taxes most.
ly used TO provide soft snaps for Re.
publican politicians that could not
hold their heads above the political
stream in the United States. The
administration will now have to sup
press the Legislature or veto its de-
crees.

let No Guilty Man Escape" Should
Be the Demand.

The growing demand for the pun.
ishment of those who mismanage cor
porations as felons Is due to the rec
ognized fact that all corporations are
personally conducted enterprises"
The individual is responsible for the
corporate morals. There are In real
ity neither good nor bad corporations,
az such, A corporation IL only mech
anism invented and used by men for
their conveniences and profit. What Is
done by 1t, either lawfully or unlaw-
fully. is the act OF men; and the men,
not the mechanism, arc responsible
for It, If railroad train or a street
car. or an automobile runs over per-
son, we arrest the engineer. conduct
or. motorman. or chauffeur, and pun
ish him, We don't demollsh the en-.
CINE. or the motor car. Neither do we
fine them. Filming corporations is no
less absurd. Imprisonment IL the true
remedy for rascality. It must he cured
or killed. If the managers OF corpora.
tons who swear falsely as to the
value of the corporate property In or
der to evade taxes We're punished by
Imprisonment for perjury, IL those who
are to blame for wrecks on railways
and passenger boats, involving death,
We're punished for manslaughtcr; If in
