Eliot on the Tariff.

SOOu OC PidSSd luSiSi hOWSSSA,
for he has had the temerity to at
tack the sacro sanct tariff and to
question whether a nation gets
rich by paying taxes. Such sin
in a presidential year is quite
enough to elect the president of
Harvard to the Undesirable asso-
citation, and perhaps give him a
certificate of membership in the
Annanias club as we'll. Here are
a few of his remarks. Judge tor
yourself if they are not palpably
reasonable to my Policies"
THE high tariff which has pre-
vailed in the United States since
the Civil war has done a little
good, but it has done i'm
ncasurable harm to American in
dustries and commerce, and is
likely to do more and more harm
as time goes on.
"The tariff wall and the refusal
of American registry TO foreign
built ships have together de
stroyed the American ocean-car-
rying trade. Subsidies alone can
never restore the lost carrying
trade.
ut is constantly asserted and
very generally believed that the
object of the tariff is to protect
workmen against the
lower paid workmen of other
countries, but that is obviously
neither the purpose nor effect of
the high tariff. j" What a
high tariff really protects is some
sorts of invested capital"
And, of course, that capital in
The hands of those practical"
men who know enough to get the
to back their privat,
instead of attending to
It's proper business of maintaining
equal rights for all.
No friend of Dingleyism or
can deny a single
word of President Eliot's indict-
nent, save by confessing his own
ignorance and prejudice. or by
to the ignorance and
of others. Indeed. the
panic of last fall disposed of the
protection to American work
men" theory in rather summary
fashion. For it started the news
paper men to investigating the
.essening immigration, and when
hey looked into it they found
this curious fact: Much of our So
called immigration is not COM
posed of persons seeking homes
Or citizenship in this country. 1t
IS composed of persons seeking
obs, and prepared to go back to
Europe after season spent at
abor in this country at American
prices. For nearly a decade from
1000 to 100000 European work
men have crossed the Atlantic
each year to 60 to work in Amer
Ica and 60 back as soon as they
had made little pile. Most of
those men carried out their in
tentions and did go back. The
panic drew attention to the fact
tha: while we were talking loudly
about protecting American labor,
labor was and is the only inn
portant article on the free list.
But how could any good citizen
say this at this time, when we
have it on the word of President
Roosevelt that the only way to
preserve our national virtue is to
elect-to elect-oh, bother!
What is his name2 Yes, Taft.

NOT KICKING ON
FIRE BOYS

The fireboys out at No. z, in the
Union Park district, seem to have
taken a. recent complaint of lack
of adequate fire protection in that
part of town as a personal matter
Fred w. Dawes, secretary of the
improvement club out there, who
voiced the objection at time when
one of the horses was suffering
from rheumatism, wants them to
understand that no criticism of the
men was intended nor has there
been complaint of lack of efficiency
at past fires.
The ground taken was that the
district is growing rapidly and had
become too large to depend entire
/. ly upon the single station on ac-
count of the long runs necessary
to cover all the ground. The idea
was to start an agitation that
would procure additional facilities
as soon as that is possible.
No. now has a combination
chemical and hose wagon with
1850 feet of regulation and 200
feet of chemical hose. 1t carries
extension ladders with combined
reach of 25 feet, which is consid-
cred adequate for any building now
in the district. The water pres
sure is strong enough to make a
steam engine unnecessary, it is
claimed.
All the extra horses in the de-
partment have been working late
ly SO there was none to relieve the
afflicted animal at the station. The
chief is on the lookout for more
horses, but suitable animals are
not easily picked up.
Firemen at No. canvassed the
district and have discovered no
general fear of conflagration.
They figure that Dawes is all alone
in the movement.

LOST ON ICY SEA

ST. MICHAELS, Alaska, March
10.-While one white man and five
natives were far out on the ice,
hunting seals, the high wind which
was blowing carried the ice out to
sea. The men were about five
miles out when the ice parted, leav-
ing a great gap of water between
them and the shore ice. There is
no way by which they can be
reached and they will undoubtedly
perish.
