Montana Hospitality.
Last week party of landsepkars
left Judith Gapto look over the south
east country. Night overlook them
and they were compelled to stop at a
ranch about twenty miles southeast
OF the Gap and ask a ranrher if they
could hire him to keep them over
night. The answer was like Il thun-
derb"lt out of Il clear sky-''\O SIR"
with a short pause "but you're
welcome to stay for nothing" The
latter part of the answer was indeed
relief TO the tired and hungry party.
| One "t the party states that Jack
/ Soden got all the hospitallty there was
coming 10 him when supper was an
nounrrd. BE that as il may. never

IMPORTANT NOT TO FORGET
Protection a. Against Free Trade 10
the Issue In the Coming
Elections.

The issue is protection against free
trade. The Philadelphia Enquirer
correctly diagnoses the present politi-
cal situation. The Democratic party"
1t says, maintains upon this ques-
ton (the protective tariff the un-
compromisingly hostile attitude which
1t has traditionally presented. 1t
continues to insist on the ideal excel
lence of the free trade theory. and
were It to be returned to power 1t
would be bound by its pledges to
carry that theory as far into practise
as circumstances should permit. This
Is fact which it is important not to
forget. and which. amid the multi
plicity Of other considerations now
engaging the public thoughts. needs
to be steadily emphasized and con-
spicuously exhibited Republicans
who think that the protective prin-
cip!e has now been so firmly estab-
lished In the United States as to be
beyond the reach of danger deceive
themselves. 1t remains as much as
ever the object of Democratic ami
mostly, and eternal vigilance is no
less than ever the price of its preser-
walton, There is every reason why
during the campaign now impending
this great. this vital, this paramount
Issue should be kept to the front and
the presidents wisdom In giving 1t
prominence is the greater because Of
the deceptive sense of security which
In this respect prevails. Too many
hN hn arifp
for their prosperity, for their COM
fort, for their daily bread are indif
ferent to the insidious attacks Of
which 1t is the object and are allow
ing themselves to think that there Is
no longer any occasion for them to
rally to Its support.
This may seem strange when one
recalls the painful experiences
through which the country passed
during a brief though all too pro-
longed period of Democratic ascend
ency, but the human memory Is short
and there Is always a disposition
alike to assume the permanence and
to underestimate the value Of present
blessings. Our protective system can
only be maintained by the votes Of
its adherents, and in order that It
may be maintained the Republican
party must be kept in power. The
president. besides designating the
tariff as the paramount issue. out
lines a program for the legislative ap-
plication of the principle involved.
which Is admirably adapted to derive
a maximum of benefit from the pro-
tective system and to consolidate the
elements Of the Republican party"

Good Time to Go Slow.

ssaEhe sound protectionist is no oppo.
nent of tariff revision at the proper
time, and has always approved such
changes in schedules as conditions
seemed to warrant. But he never has
and he never will join in the cry for
tariff revision in the interest of for
eign as against home industries, and
that is what very much of the de-
mand for lower duties means A case
directly in point is furnished by the
present situation in the cotton manu-
featuring industry. Owing to the high
price Of raw material, due partly to
anticipated shortage in the cotton
crop and largely to speculation. mills
are operating on short time or sus-
pending entirely for season. There
is not a cent of duty on cotton, and
the rates on cotton goods have been
almost unchanged. How can the re-
sponsibi.ity for the trouble in the cot
ton-spinning and cotton n-cloth-making
industries be laid to the tariff? Fibre
and Fabric suggests this question
when 1t says: I'VE find that the years
under the former tariff were the most
prosperous in the history of our coun-
try. Labor was fully employed, and
wages advanced ten to twenty per
cent The present tariff is almost
Identical, SO far as the wool and cot
ton schedules are concerned. yet the
people are being urged to send men
to Washington to deliberately open
the way for foreign manufacturers to
serve America the same as Canada
has been served, and kill off few
hundred textile mills and throw thou
sands of operatives out of their
chosen occupation permanently" 1t
is we'll to have tariff revision when
needed, but a revision that will put
American manufacturers out of busi-
ness and American wage-earners out
of work and which will surrender our
markets to foreigners is not the kind
to commend itself to the thoughtful
American citizen.

Mrs. Jones favorite warning to her

In minute. Tending was accom-

Harry was four years old he was sent
for the first time round the corner to
the grocery. In few minutes he came
trotting soberly back with the nickel
still in his hand, but no bag of onions.
What's the matter?" asked his
mother.
I'm 'fraid of the man." he said, sol
emnly
"Oh. he won't hurt you." reassured
Mrs. Jones. Run along and bring the
onions. I'm in a hurry for them"
A second time Harry disappeared
round the corner. and a second time
returned without his purchase.

explained, as before.
