Remove Tariff From Imports.
have. in discussing the tariff
question, presented one Of our rene
dies, namely. the removal Of the
tariff from imports which compete
with trust made goods. This. we
believe. would greatly lessen the ex-
tortion practiced by the trusts and
bring about the dissolution OF many
monopoliatic combines. But we are
not satisfied merely with the lessen
ing OF extortion or with the dissolu-
ton of some Of the trusts.
There 10 one upon which l desire
to dwell at some length. We be-
lieve It to be q simple. complete and
easily enforced remedy. AS stated
in the platform Il Is:
"A license system which will,
without abridging the right of each
state to create corporations. or It's
right to regulate as 1t will foreign
corporations doing business within
its limits, make It necessary for a
manufacturing or trading corporation
engaged in interstate commerce to
take out a federal license before 1t
shall be permitted to control as much
as 20 per cent of the product in which
1t deals, the license to protect the
public from watered stock and to pro-
hibit the control by such corporation
Of more than Atty per cent OF the
total amount Of any product con-
sumed In the United States"
Rights OF States Protected.
1t will be noticed. In the first place,
that care was taken by those who
drew the platform to provide that
there should be no abridgement OF
the right OF a state to create copora-
tiOns, or of its right to regulate as
1t will foreign corporations doing
business within its limits. This plan
therefore does not in the least In.
fringe upon the right OF the states
to protect their own people. It sim
ply provides for the exercise by con.
gress OF the power vested In 1t to
regulate interstate commerce. Az
long is q corporation confines itself
to the state In which II is created
congress can not interfere with It;
but when the corporation engeges In
interstate commerce. congress is this
only power that can regulate its In
terstate business.
The license, however, would mo-
prevent the growth of the corpora
ton licensed. IT would simply brinl
them under the eye OF the fedora
government and compel them TO dea
with the public In such a way a
to afford the public the protection
necessary. One OF the restriction
suggested is that such licensed cor
porations be compelled to sell to al
purchasers in all parts Of the countrl
on the same terms, after making du
allownee for cost Of transportation
Mr.. Taft Attacks this restriction a
utterly impFaeticable. He says

Feeding Cows ON Grass.

Professors Stewart and Atwood, OF
the West Virginia Experiment Station
last year conducted some careful tests
to determine whether it is profitable tC
feed milk cows grain on grass. With.
out going into the details of these ex,
periments we quote the conclusions as
follows:
"This experiment clearly shows that
there was no direct financial gain il
feeding the grain to the cows while al
pasture. 1t is true that the cows
which received grain were uniformly
in somewhat better flesh than those
that did not receive grain, but as fal
as the milk yield was concerned the
increased flow was produced at an ac,
tual loss" Data obtained in similar
experiments at other stations are sum
married, and from these in comparison
with their own Investigations the au-
thors conclude that unless dairy prod
ucts are especially high ia price it is
not a profitable practice to feed grain
to cows at pasture. 1t is true that more
milk is obtained and the cows hold uL
their yield better and remain in better
flesh when receiving the grain ratlons
but under ordinary circumstances there
is no direct profit from the grain feed
ing. as the increased production usual
ly costs more than it can be sold for

that whensoever he likes he may pause,
and then, when he tries to do so, sweep
ing him on through the mazes of in
EQUITY by a force which he feels he can
not resist. Sin may come with tongue
of honey and a bride Of gold, but it
hides the iron letters and the knotted
lash. Always, and everywhere, 'sin
makes mock at FOOLS" That, then, is
one Interpretation of the text and the
idea suggested by it is vivid and aw-
fully true.
But there seems no reason why we
should depart from the reading before
us, Fools make mock at sin" That
is, there are those to whom sin In them
selves, or in others, is little else than
a comedy, food for pleasantly, occa-
sion for a jest; or, if it is not quite
that, it is something insignificant and
slight, a matter to be minimized, extern
uated, Whitewashed. Sin, according to
such, is an exhibition of int1rmlty,
species of misfortune; and those who
maintain it to be anything worse are
too strict and straitlaced for existence
in an ordinary world. Now, as to those
who thus make a mock at SIM" looking
at it, and speaking Of it, as If 1t were
a joke or a trif1e, what is the teaching
of this text? Not that they are Grim
ina1, though all are criminal who give
the lie to God and deliberately call that
little which He calls great, but that
they are fools. They are blind-Wlll-
fully. obstinately and dangerously
blind blind to the lessons of expert
ence, blind to the teachings of Scrip
ture, blind to the interests OF their own
true happiness and safety.
Those who mock at sin are most apt
to become the prey of sin on the prlncl-
pie that no one is secure, who under
values an enemy. Take the influence
of evil habits How insensibly they
steal in! How gradually they grow
How deeply and firmly they wind them
selves round! At first they lie lightly,
like a web Of gossamer, whose pres
ence the victim thinks little OF, at
whose holding power he laughs; in the
end they thicken to bands Of iron,
which neither fears nor struggles can
break. l have seen a grown man grow
cling in terror and humiliation on the
floor, crying like a child, and why? He
had suddenly awakened to the existence
and the power of an evil habit; realized
for the first time the absoluteness and
the ignominy of his slavery; discovered
for the first time the nature and the
strength of his foe.
Not at first do sins reveal themselves
for a time they are quiet, for time
they sleep. But they are there not
withstanding, there in the depths of the
conscience, there in the crev1ces Of the
memory; and the time comes when they
wake, as many a transgressor can tes-
tify, who finds them his roommates and
associates, an affection to life, terror
to death.

The average American and the Aver
ave SociolOgist.
Chicago Record-Herald.l

After a long study of Chicago a
sociologist went to Boston and gave
close attention 10 the people of that
city Then after he had compared
notes he came 10 the conclusion that
that there was not much desire in
either city to lead the simple life.
The usual aim of the average Ameri-
can was to belong to some exclusive
set. to get away from the common
herd
Possibly this is an overstatement
due to disappointment. For certain
~ the average American has other
aims than the one referred to. His
first aim is to make a living and it
absorbs the greater part Of his time,
strength and nerve force. There is,
however, basis of truth in what the
sociologist says. Americans, like
other people, have a craving for dis
tinction, and it need not be distinc-
ton of the highest kind. We quote
from another sociologist.
Heraldry now is charmed word
for multitudes of very humble peo-
pie. Librarians are suddenly plagued
by the Importantly for genealogical

flushed with delight because on a
great occasion in another city her
badge had given her SNOWY precedence

to let her feel her social inferiority

ever gave me JOY like that" The wo-
man need have no shame, they can
not Guido the men in this pursuit.
Scarcely town that is not gay with
embellished orders, stamped with
every display Of royal and knightly
nomenclature.
But we can hardly look upon these
revelations as if they We're sociologi-
cal discoveries. The average Ameri-
can is not only quite conscious OF
the conditions described but fully able
to philosophize over them. The COM
mon philosophy is that the distinc-
lions don't amount to anything But
when a particular distinction comes
to a particular individual he may
feel something like the Colonial Dame
in the moment Of her triumph On
the other hand. if the triumph goes
to a neighbor, and the neighbor is

American not only takes refuge in
his philosophy but INDUCES in play

of yanities
Still, we ask if in this thirst for
distinction the average American is
so very different after all from the
average sociologist.
