Why Use
a Pacific
Electric
Flat Iron?

We shall answer this question with
absolute frankness- ,,o,...-,,<,
FLAT IRON?
BECAUSE IT IS ECONOMICAL.
You use no current until you are
ready to iron. The moment you are
through. off goes the current and the
expense stops. On light ironing the
expense is about 3 cents per hour; ON
heavy goods it is slightly more
BECAUSE 1T SAVES TIME.
No waiting for the fire to pick up,
No waiting for the irons to heat. In
the 10 or Is minutes that you would
wait for an old-style iron to heat you
can do quite a little ironing.
No time wasted running from stove
to board
BECAUSE 1T IS CLEAN AND COOL.
No heat in the room Kitchen more
lust. Handle never gets hot.
BECAUSE 1T is so HANDY.
Can use it anywhere there is light
socket-in bedroom or out on the
porch.
ply tip the iron up on the square end;
the stand is attached.
BECAUSE 1T DOES SUCH GOOD
The point is always hot.
With current on. constantly it Will
handle heavy work. and there is no
waiting for 1t to reheat.
on light work. current is used only
part of the time which cuts down The
expense.
BECAUsE-AND THIS is MOST M
PORTANT-
you won't get overheated and all tired
out
We have just received a supply of
these irons from the factory. together
with supply of Inc latest electric
curling irons, which are truly an IN
novation.

4 NEW ERA IN WARSHTPS.

Ltrd Tweedmouth's official declaration last
week concerning the prospective strength Of the
British navy in the next three or four years
was doubtless reaSsurng to Englishmen AMI
certainly was of interest to all maritime ma
tions The Dreadnought supposed a year
or two ago TO be the consummate production Of
the shipbuilder's art in warfare. Yet the First
Lord of the Admiralty now says that the new
Teneraire and her two sisters will be much
he is reported as saying infinitely better
tkan the Dreadnought. and that the st, Vinceut
and her two sisters will be superior to the
Temeraire. OF the latter two classes of ships
we shall hereafter be able 10 speak more con-
fidently when they have been finished and
proved. OF the Dreadnought 1t is now possible
to speak with information and confidence, and
il thus becomes necessary TO regard her as
marking Il era in naval construction and
armament For she was not merely larger than
any of her predecessors she was radically diff
ferent from them i'll the character and arrange
ment of her armament.
The Dreadnought was the first Of what we
might call the "all big gun" type of battleshp.
She was the first, that is, to discard altogether
the secondary battery and nothing but
primary battery of uniform guns of the largest
size and a lot of small machine guns. In the
ships Of ten years ago the standard armament
consisted of four big guns, 12-inch or 13-inch,
and dozen or more 6nch guns. That is the
arrangement in many ships of aud
other navies. Even in so modern ship the
King Edward VII the armament consists of
four 12-inch, four 9.2-lnch and ten 6-inch guns
But it was realized that the 6-inch guns could
not penetrate heavy armor, while they were too
heavy to be worked by hand as rapid fire guns.
So in the Lord Nelson they were dropped, and
that ship was provided with four II inch and
ten 9.2ineh guns and nothing else above I2-
Founders But then again 1T recognized
that the 9.2-inch guns were just as cumbersome
10 operate as the 12-inch. while they were less
effective as armor piercers. So finally in the
Dreadnought there was put nothing but
homogeneous battery Of ten 12-inch guns and
twenty seven 12-pounders, quick firing. Thus il
is true that 'all the eggs were put into one
basket, but what eggs they are anG what "A
basket. OF course, batleships of other navies
carry l2-inch guns rs good the Dreadnought's -
and they could pierce her armor at the same
| range AT which she could pierce theirs. But
! on Farragut's sound principle that ships best
defence is in her own guns ship able, the
Dreadnought is to fire eight 12-ineh guns in
5roadside is far stronger than one able 10 IRE

system rs something fixed and necessary. Man
ufacturins has spread South and West and the
benefits of protection are far more widely DIS
trihuted than ever before. 1t is impossible to
revive the old sectional issue Of high tariff YER
sl,s low tariff. The Democratic party has aban-
,ioned its former extreme attitude, and perhaps
three -fourths of the voters Of both parties want
10 see protection maintained but maintained in
Il way TO relieve exactions and TO do the most
good in promoting foreign trade as well as IN
safeguarding domestic production.
Mr. Payne. the chairman Of the House ways
and Means Committee, is technically right When
he says that the Republican majorities III the
House and in the Senate must accept political
responsibility for any revision which passes
Congress and that they cannot deyolve that po-
litical responsibility a non-partisan tariff
commission But in our opinion he is wrong n
thinking that no outside help is needed in meas
urins the changes which have occurred in trade
and industry since 1897 and is also wrong IN
depreciatinS the value of systematic inquiry
10 be begun long before the new tariff law is 10
be framed. Preparedness is a great virtue IN
legislation as we'll as in warfare, and the more
light Congress has the better and more quickly
it can act. A painstaking inquiry now WOULD
save much trouble and labor at the special ses-
sion to be called after March 4, 1909.

THE TARIFF NOTIRY.

II the tariff i 10 be revised at a special Ses-
Sion Of Congress called after March i. 1909, the
need ~ = preliminary inquiry into conditions in
trade and manufacture is apparent. The Re
publican National Conven ion OF 1905 will in all
probability pledge the parry 10 Il revision in the
spring Of 1899. If q Republican President is
elected. of lis frs. duties viii he to call the
6ist Congress together. and that Congress, if it
IS to ac: promptly aud in,elIigen;ly, ought 10
have al hand material 10 guide IL in readiusting
tariff rates to fit present conditions This ma
teriai can he best collected during the next
twelve months, and The Tribune has been heart
ily in favor Of collecting ii through the medium
Of a special tariff commission composed Of ex-
Ierts. through the medium Of the present
membership OF the House Ways and Means
Committee and the Senate Finance Committee
acting in consultation with private citizens Of
special know ledge and competence.
The main point is that the revision under
taken should be based simple information and
should be fair and rational as possible An
opportunity viii be offered next year to reframe
tariff schedules along common sense lines
such as has not been offered since the early days
Of the Republic. FOO many of our tariff laws
have been political rather than broadly econom.
icai in character and motive 1t was imposs;-
BILE 10 eliminate partisanship and politics so
