Did sIdr!ch Overlook Il?

In revising the tariff the congress
men put radium on the free list. This
has turned out to be a terrible mistake
in view of the recent find of pitch
blende in California which will pro.
duce radum enough to supply the
world with this valuable stuff for all
time to come. Now here's an infant
industry that should be protected, es'
pecially in view of the fact that this
mineral which is produced abroad
brings in only sS,OO00OO pound, troy
weight. Things ought TO be fixed so
the American product can be sold for
twice that sum in this country. At
least this is the theory upon which a
good deal of the protective tariff has
been built.-Topeka State Journal.

Not a People's Tariff.

There was, indeed never any
chance of obtaining at this extra scs.
sion decent revision of the tariff
schedules. Public opinion was not
well developed on that subject lndi.
yidual members Of congress were I'M.
der pressure from their respective
states and districts. Only a handful
of men took the large national view.
Every locality In the cOuntry--north,
south east and west--was scliishly
demanding the thing that 1t believed
would make for its own interests
Nominally II was n Republican tariff;
actually 1t was Just as much Demo
cratic as Republican, and In point of
fact It was not partisan at all. II was
simply Il hodge pOdge, on the plan Of
an old.fashioned river and harbor bill.
The reductions Of rates in so far as the
consumer is concerned were more
nominal than real The great pro.
tected interests were all well looked
after The nominal reductions in
iron and steel were little or lothlng
as compared with what the great
American steel industry could readily
have borne. The textile industries are
more carefully protected than under
the Dngley bill. There are, OF course,
some good things in the law, such as
the relaxation of the taxes on foreign
! literature and art. 1t had been hoped
that congress would at least grant
the country n tariff commission which
could be getting ready for scientific
revision ut some time in the future
| But this is exactly what the lobbyists
OF the great protected interests do not
want The present chaotic method Of
tariff making is the thing they are de
termned to retain II possible-Re

All the sentiment in the world does
not mask the fact that marriage is Il
contract.
Nor does the marriage state lose one
iota Of It's solemnity and beauty by be.
ing business contract instead Of a
mere gilden thread Of very fragile and
fragihle love vows.
For only by following out the con
tract idea and the partnership clause
therein implied can marital happiness
be made certain and permanent.
Sentiment In married life Is very
beautiful without it such life is like
Rong.words without music. But when
sentiment ignores businesslikc man
agcmont of domestic life 1t lapses
from sentiment (which Is the essence
of love- into sentimcntality Whose
first letter is its only connecting bond
with "sanity')!

The Tariff Tragedy.

Not least among the tragedies Of
American history is the tragedy of the
tariff Greatest of all tariff tragedies
is that which has Just been enacted at
Washington and Endorsed by the presi.
dent of these United States.
The tragedies of the poor are always
terrible. and this new tariff, conceived
In sin and greed, is essentially ira
gedy OF the poor. 1t decreases the
poor mans earning power by increas-
ing the cost of living. Every extra
penny taxed upon the burden of the
poor is tragedy in thousands OF
humble homes.

no less so to the masses of the Repub-

ponents of this bill had the arguments
all with them in congress and further
debate had much better be left TO the
pleadings In the courts, rather than
to public defense before the country;

any discussion before the people OF
the merits of this new tariff law, nor
