the most important local laws ever en-
acted and should be read by all
good citizens who do not need it, so
they may know what law they should
give a moral force and backing to; by
those who do not observe it, often
thoughtlessly from lack of good habits;
and also by those property owners who
rent houses, cabins and land to
strangers who may not observe this
law. Property owners frequently do
not feel any moral responsibility, after
they have got the rent, yet it is as much
their duty to know the moral standing
of tenants as it is the duty of officials to

PROSPERITY TO ORDER.
How the Stand Patters Propose t,
Avoid Taking Their Medicine.

How the Stand Patters Propose to
Avoid Taking Their Medicine.
The New York Evening Post recent
ly said: Prosperity has taken to itself
wings and flown away, but is to be
ordered back for campaign purposes.
1t will be at least a good enough pros
perity till after election"
The Post, continuing, shows how the
stand pat leaders are going to force
the sun of prosperity to shine again;
how they will issue orders to the timid
bankers to loosen up with loans to
merchants, contractors and manufac-
turers; how they will put pressure on
the railroads, commanding them to
order rails and other equipment and
make the tall chimneys smoke again.
how they will crack the whip over the
shoulders of manufacturers. adiurinc
them to re-employ their men and run
their mills to capacity, whether they
have a market for their goods or not.
This is all to be done because the IN
expected happened in the way of a
severe industrial depression under a
stand pat tariff, and the benefciaries
of that tariff are to be scared into a
forced resumption of the appearance
of prosperity through fear of losing
their special privileges if the voters
should show their resentment by elect
ing real tariff revisers.
No doubt the scheme will work-in
part. Many men will be put on the
payroll, at least temporarily. and in
certain directions there will be greatly
Increased industrial activity. If there
comes a collapse after election, that.
as stand patters reason, will be for
gotten before another election.
But the Evening Post p~ertinently
raises the question whether the voters
can be fooled this time by tricks of
that sort. Observing that there are
difficulties in the way of a graceful
return to the stage by stand patters in
the role of prosperity agents, the Post
continues:
MALICIOUS spectators will ask why
1t was ever abandoned. If Republic
an control Of prosperity by means Of a
aigh tariff is 50 absolute, why was ii
ever relaxed? a real earthly Provi-
dcnce does not even temporarily lose
its strip 1t must be as constant Al
the stn. To have allowed the country
to suGer for a single year must arouse
haunting doubts in the minds Of the
faithful akin to those whieh have trou.
bled ~theclogians. If the Repabli an
tariff could not have prevented bad
Zines, then it is not all powerful; # ii
could, but dill net, then il is not Eency-
client. This is the way in which ta.iff
atheists are made"
If the voters have not lost their pow
er Of reasoning during the season OF
dull times and lean %rations, it may be
predicted that the country will be full
of tariff atheists next fall.

J.. M. Dickinson, of Tennessee, whom
President Taft appointed Secretary OF
War, claims that he is still a democrat,
altho he never voted for Bryan. Re.
publican Presidents of late years have
