the Zion movement should encourage the

What man can be opposed to this way of handling our tariff except the man who does not want the facts to be known? And it is by not knowing the
 facts that all dishonesty, if there be any dishonesty, gets into our tariff. If anybody says that we have no right to know the facts about anybody's busi- ness, the answer is that if that busi- ness asks the people to put a tariff on what it makes and sells 1t should tell the people the facts. so that the people
 can put the right kind of tariff upor
 thee things; otherwise, those who TUT
 that business would be putting theil own tariff upon what they make and sell. They would be making a tariff law for themselves instead of the peo- pie making a tariff law for them. So the next thing we must do in finishing up this movement of putting honesty into the law is to make body of tariff experts which shall do for the 'Ameri- can congress what the same kind of men have done and are doing for the German Reichstag, the Japanese par lliament, and the French house of de-
 puties.

Reasonable Business Combinations

Nothing that we are doing puts any limit on honest business. On the con trary. we would lift from honest busi- ness the burdens it now carries. For example. the first law against trusts, called the Sherman law" was passed eighteen years ago. The business of this country has travelled a century forward since them. both in methods and results. That law does not fit the conditions that have thus grown up. Il forbids all trade combinations, no matter how much they are needed or how helpful they may be. Therefore. we must make that law over again so as to permit reasonable and honest business organization. We must put into the Sherman law the word "rea- sonab able.'
 All students now know that the big businesses called trusts are neees- sary, and that trade can hardly be car ried on without certain railroad and buiness combinations. The law must be changed to permit these when they are reasonable and honest. Nobody but demagogues and ignorant men object to those organizations of in1rsify call cd trusts: but evciy informed and honest man tivvs object to the robberies committed by some of these trusts. just as we object to the same thing by in- dividuals. What we are after is justice and fair dealing both by the trusts ant railroads toward the people and by the

BaNISHED Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to cof- fee even after they know it is doing them harm, is a puzzler. But it is an easy matter to give it up for good. when Postum Food Coffee is properly made and used instead.
 A girl writes Mother had been suffering with nervous headaches for seven wearS years, but kept drinking coffee
 One day 1 asked her why she did not give up coffee as a cousin of mine had done who had taken to Postum. But Mother was such a slave to cof- fee she though it would be terrible to give it up
 "Tinally. one day. she made the change to Postum, and quickly her headaches disappeared. One morning while she was drinking Postum so freely and with such relish, I asked for a taste.
 That started me on Postun. and now drink it more freely than I did coffee, which never comes into our house now.
 "A girl friend of mine. one day, saw me drinking Postum and asked if it was coffee I told her if was Pcstum and gave her some to take home. but fcrgt to tell her how to make it.
 The next day she said she did not see how I could drink Postum found she had made it like ordinary coffee. So I told her how to make it. right and gave her a cupful I made after boiling it fifteen minutes. She said she never drank any coffee tha' j tasted as good. and now coffee is ban ished from both our homes" Namt given by Postum Co, Battle Creek Michigan.

Late yesterday afternoon Mortimer E. Smith took the witness stand in his own behalf in tho superior court, crim- ,iEal side. It will be readily recalled that he is charged with embezzlement of, funds while he was in the employ of the Benton, Armstron Folding Box company.
 Yesterday Frank Lewis, who was an- other clerk in the employment of the { company. closed his testimony for the state and gave evidence tending to in- criminate Smith.
 Lewis is serving time at Wethersfield.
 Smith in his testimony yesterday laid the blame for the losses of the company on to Lewis. He said he had nothing to do with the padded pay rolls. which was the means by which the state alleges the company was swindled. smith stated that the totals were made by Lewis, and that he (Smith) merely made extensions, for the purpose of filling in the amounts on checks that were taken to the bank for the pur. pose of getting money to pay off with.

date plans for revision, and that is a bigger thing. There are nearly four thousand items named in our tariff laws, and every year new articles are put on the market which are not nam ed, but which are covered by general | terms of the law.
 It is plain that just and intelligent duties can not be fixed without a knowledge of the facts upon which ev- cry one of these duties arc supposed to rest Yet as we have made our tar ifs heretofore, committees of congress working part of the time for a few months, not only. have to find out these facts, but also fit duties to these facts study how those duties will work out with foreign tariffs, how our trade will thereby be helped or hurt, and all oth- CT things that must be thought of in making tariff.
 Yet it Is plain that it would be hard for ever experts to learn all the facts in so short a time, to say nothing oi the other work our congressional com mittees are now forced to do in making "a tariff law. It is not fair to these committees to make them do such work in so brief a period, Other na- tions have seen this plain truth and therefore made the common- sens. plan of finding out the facts upon which their Legislatures can act with knowl- edge and wisdom, So Germany and Japan, whose tariffs are the most care ful of all tariffs, had body of tariff experts find out the facts and ther made their tariffs fit those facts.

 These German and Japanese experts knew more about, the tariffs of their own and other countries. more about every industry of their own and other countries, than any other men in the Japanese and German nations. They were the fittest men to do the work that Germany and Japan could find. Then. armed with this special knowl- edge, they looked into everything that had anything to do with German and Japanese industries and with the trade those industries carried on. < All this took not only hard work but much time. A body of thirty-two German experts worked for six years consult- ing 2.oOo trade experts and investigat- ing every industry in the empire. not only by itself. but in relation to other German industries and those of other nations Then the work of these experts was laid before the Reichstag, and with all these facts the Reichstag made the present German tariff.
