TROUBLES AHEAD OF TAFT.
CNew Orleans States

II is obvious that the more the Re-
publican party fattens on victory the
more divided it becomes within itself
on important issues Of the govern
ment. The party is already full Of
men Of different beliefs on social,
economic and constitutional ques-
lions, and these difference OF beliefs
are growing hereer every year, with
the result that internal conflict is
inevitable over the policies the party
shall stand for.
The truth is the Republican party
is already divided as IL never was be-
fore on issues Of government. In
spite OF its recent victory it has two
bitterly opposing wings, the capital
istic and the progressive II has
low tariff and high tariff men; il has
antagonistic elements respecting the
attitude Of the law towards organic
ed labor and the law-breaking cor
porations. II has imperialists and
anti-imperialists 1t has men who
believe that government By the peo-
pie is a failure, and who favor a
centralized Federal Government.
Others stand as stern champions OF
States rights and the curtailment
rather than the extension Of the Fed
eral powers
These are the divisions existing in
the Republican party today which
have been made more marked by the
Roosevelt regime. All Of which
means that Mr.. Taft in the next four
years will have some very wild horses
TO ride. While the opposing ele-
ments contributed TO his victory at

ELECTRICITY ON THE FARM.

the brownsville paper has to say on
the subject:

a problem to you. He's learning
thingsg smoking, swearing -yes
and worse things, and you don't
know how to stop it. Lectlirlng,
scolding and thrashing wont do it,
they only drive him further into it.
Your boy must do something in
his spare time. And unless he is
put in the way of doing the best
things he is more than apt to do the
worse things.
IF you see that his spare time is
occupied with something useful,
something that he likes TO do, your
trouble so far as your boy is con-
cerned will be over.

things worth while.

ling the private feeders. BY installing
q private plant, the cost of which in
this case amounted to about $4,000,
the yearly cost of operation figured
out approximately $3.50, being made
up of cost OF fuel, lubricating oil,
waste and minor repairs, amounting
to $3.50. and interest and depreciation
at II per cent, amounting to 1920
AS the plant was so installed that its
operation should be practically au-
tomato, no charge is included for at

the plant need not necessarily be a
skilled mechanic, and his duties would
not be much more for each day

THE GREED OF THE PROTECTED


The desire Of highly protected
manufacturers to have the tariff
raised on the products Of foreign
lands that would in the slightest
compete with their output, even
thought at the present rates they
are making exorbitant profits, has
been one Of the most astonishing
disclosures Of the hearings now in
progress in Washington Even the
Congressional committee, accustomed
to such raids in the past have been
shocked at the boldness with which
some OF the benefciaries OF the tariff
have impudently demanded more
tariff and more profits"
The recent election of Judge Taft,
and the return of Cannon, DalzeIl and
other stand patters of the high pro-
lection order, have apparently en-
couraged the belief in the minds of
the manufacturers of the North and
West that the situation is entirely
in their hands, that the demands
of the tariff reformers can be treated
with the utmost contempt, and the
revision that is projected be made
on an ascending rather than a des-
cending scale. They appear to feel
that they have the situation entirely
in their hands, and that the defeat
of the Democratic party has been an
invitation to further plumber the peo-
pie through the medium of a robber
tariff.
The chemical schedule is the one
under investigation at this time, and
almost without exception the manu-
facturers have come before the COM
mittee and coolly demanded advances
in the rates, although admitting that
their past profits have been excel
lent Pointing out the iniquity Of
their demands, New York expert
advised the committee that the Uni
ted States made no progress in the
manufacture of chemicals In recent
years, the sole desire Of the manu-
facturers being to exact as much
and make as few improvements in
methods as possible. Some OF those
demanding higher rates were shown
to practically have monopoly under
the existing schedule, and the in
crease demanded would simply furn-
ish an opportunity for them to fur
Their mulct the consuming public
Four years Of an excessively high
tariff IS doubtless ahead. But the
greed Of the manufacturers will dig
their own doom for them. They are
intent on shaping the tariff reform
Of the country in the face, and will
succeed in their purpose.
But the day Of reckoning must some
day arrive, and the more extortionate
they become the quicker the growing

now Unanswered will be stimulated
IN the West. Tariff reform may yet
bring the South and the West to-
gether for their common protection.

Bleaching Clothes with an Electric
Machine.

The problem of bleaching clothes il
laundries without rotting the cloth
has been simplified by a machine now
on the market, which is expected to
do away with the use of chloride OF
lime bleach. 1t is a device for pro-
dueing bleaching liquor electrolyti-
cally from an ordinary salt brine This
liquor or chlorine is claimed to be
harmless to clothes, and in fact is
considered equal in this respect to
the old grass bleach. The machine
is described with illustrations in the
December Popular Mechanics.
