the testimony Of mothers whose chil-

and interest
A mother, after several months ao-
quaintance with the methods OF the
Straus laboratory. writes the editor of
The Times as follows:
Dear Editor:
4 do not know how much interest
your paper is taking in the movement to
prevent the Straus laboratory from
closing. but I do know that The Times
usually works for what concerns the
public good.
1T seems TO me that Washington can
not afford to close an Institution which
has done, and is now doing, as much
good as IS the Straus pasteurized milk
laboratory
I have been a patron OF the Iabora-
tory for three months, not for lack Of
funds or facilities for preparing baby's
milk here in NY own home. but because,
Notwithstanding my own care, and that
Of my physician and trained nurse, my
baby continued fraH and delicate, and
was evidently Improperly nourished-
In desperation determined to Try
the Straus pasteUrized milk. Immedi-
ately my baby began to improve. Since
putting her on this milk she has gained

healthy and strong as any baby I know.

RURAL DISTASTR FOR EARLY
RISING.

The good old days when the farmer
got up so soon IN the morning that he
had to feel his way down to the corn
CRIB and seattle, provqnder by candle
light appear to have passed away.
And, according to the grave authority
Of the chief dairyman Of the Kansas
State Agricultural College, therein
lies the difficulty of building up the
dairy business in that and other
States
The telephone and the automobile
and the Purring radiator have so ener-
va5ed and broken down the heroic fiber
Of the TiIler OF the Soil that he no
longer cares to wander forth with the
lark and practice the Kneipp cure on
the dewy meade. He is willing to wait
in bed for the rural delivery and get
his rural poetry from the magazines.
The example Of self indulgence thus
set BY the head of the family has been
SO generally initiated by the sons and
daughters Of the house that the cat
tie upon a thousand hills 90 unmiIked,
and the hired man, who has become a
chauffeur, refuses to lower his dignity.
The dairy sharp from the Sunfower
State seems 70 be right. The milking
problem is in the twilight zone.
Too prosperous to be stirring while
the frost is still on the milk csnsL
the happy ruralist has not yet dis
covered any way by which he can call
the cows by telephone and milk them
with an electric button. Ingenuity,
advanced so far, has reached the dold-
runs The miIzrnaid on the china
plaque has become antique and the
dairy equivalent of the hello girl has
not arrived One Of the slaves of life
has become a bruised reed, elutched in
the fell grasp of the combine, while
that robust incarnation of rustic
health, the farmers boy. chortles with
Tom Hood that whoever early would
be stirring surely is a spoon"

THINKS 1T WAS A CAMPAIGN
OF BLUNDERS.

The American Protective Tariff
League is not pleased with the late
campaign. Under the caption Of a
Campaign of BIunders," the American
Economist. the official organ of the
league. discusses the recent contest
with franlness and is fairly liberal in
the distribution of its criticism.
The tone OF the article is interest
ing not merely for its criticisms, but
because it points out pretty clearly
what is to be the attitude of the high
tariff Republicans in Congress
For one thing. the Economist finds
fault because "for the first time in its
history the Republican party entered
on a campaign of defense and aPol-
ogy." 1t snys the party framed an
Indictment against itself and then
pleaded guilty to the Indictment It
blames President Taft sharply for the
course he pursued as TO tariff and be
cause, in his Winona speech, he failed
TO indorse the PayneyIaw in whole, it
declares he gave the enemies of pro-
lection a cue upon which they have
acted most industriousIy" It adds:
Ever since then. he has been urging
- A.
tinct purpose Of preparing fer a reduc-
ton IN the schedules he created a tariff
board and invested It with functions
which Congress never intended It should
exercise Congress weakly conceded
with Mr.. Taft's progressive" tendencies
and passed an appropriation Of s25o.000
10 enable tie tariff board the more
effectively 20 pick flaws IN the new
tariff.
President Taft's letter to the Repub-
Iiean Congressional Campaign Commit
tee Is quoted, reference being
made to his statement on the
evil of excessive tariff rates" as
afFording the opportunity "tO combine
and suppress competition" And the
American Protective Tariff League
publication holds that the Presidents
language was directly calculated To
confirm the contention OF "free-tTaders,
and reformers" that exces-
sive tariff rates were at the root Of
high prices and high cost of living.
The Economist holds that the PTesi-
dents language gave the tariff critics
q handle, that its collateral effect was
10 contribute to defeat of Republican
candidates for Congress, and finally
declares it was the chief blunder IN
a campaign full of blunders"
From which 1t may be inferred that
President Taft has dispIeased both the
friends and the enemies Of the Payne
AIdrich law. It may also be conclud-
ed that the high tariff forces are going
TO stand nrmly TO their guns and op-
pose tariff reductions at every turn Of
the load.

PROPOSED INSURGENT AND
DEMOCRATIC ALLIANCE.

Senator William J Stone Of Missouri
has sent out letters TO the Democratic
and insurgent Senator's IN which he
suggests the wisdom Of an alliance OF
the Democrats and insurgents for the
control Of the Senate He would have
these two elements TeOrganize the Sen
ATE, taking control Of the committees.
and crushing out the standpatters, the
Old Guard, who have so long swayed
things with iron hand
In brief, Senator Stone would have
the insurgents and Democrats unite
and give the leaders OF the Aldrieh
regime ii the Senate a large swallow
OF their own medicine
But, unless we are mistaken, this
viii not happen It IS doubtless in
evitabIs that to an extent the Demo
Gratis and insurgents IN the Senate viii
combine their forces to pass bills. Just
as they have done in the past. But 1t
Is hardly TO be expected there will be
a hard and fast alliance.
The truth is that the Senate insurg-
ents or progessives are in a position
where they do not need to ally them
selves with anybody. They hold the
balance Of power They viii be most
effective IN gaining the things they
want in way of legislation If thew
hold themselves in readiness TO unite
On a given measure OF against a given
measure with whatever element is
ready to meet their views.
1t Is pointed out that the insurgents
and Democrats have not the same
views on ta-if and that this would
hinder an alliance. There Is a larger
reason than this why the insurgents
cannot ally themselves with the Dem
oerats as Senator Stone proposes. The
Senate Democrats contain some mem
bers who are ablo and earnest progress
sives- They also contain some mem
bers WIG are utterly reactionary. It
may be, found the reactionaries are
dominant, that the Republican insurg-
exits win have Just as much reason to
oppose the Democratic reactionaries
as they have found to oppose Repub-
lean reactionsTies-
When the Senate Democrats become
progressive and cast off the influence
Of certain OF their reactionarv lead
ers It viii be time to talk Of an ALI
ance with the Republican progessfves.
This is not saying that progressive
Republicans and progressive Demo
Gratis in the Senate viii not be found
working side~by side They should do
so ana they doubtless will do so.
