NorHiNG is doing so much to break
down the tariff bars that impede free
trade between the nations as the
steadily advancing cost of living.
In France NE food famine has been
the cause of riotous outbreak. As a
consequence the Government has
approved a scheme TO ameliorate the
situation by facilitating the lmpor-
talion of cattle and frozen meats by
installing refrigerating and storage
plants, of which there is a lack in
France; by demanding that the rail-
ways lower their rates for the trans
portation of food, and by suspending
the tariff on folders. OF course,
these arc only temporary expedients
for allevlatiDg distressing conditions
growing out of general failure Of
crops: bnt they serve to show the
only true method of deliverance.
The fewer impedlments to bar the
free interchange Of commodities the
greater the opportunities for the sons
of men to live and let live.

The Church Of Silence.

Word comes from several sources
of the wonderful little "Church Of
silence" which Mrs. Russell Quincy
caused 10 be erected in London. 1t
stands facing Hyde Park IN UN-
bridge road, with opeu door, beside
which appears this Inscription:
passengers through the busy streets
of London, enter this sanctuary for
rest, silence, and prayer. ct the
pictured walls within speak of the
past yet ever continuing ways OF
God with men No preacher is to
stand in the pulpit, no rite will be
performed, no creed compels the
spiri, to resign its freedom. 1t is
merely a wayslde place for spiritual
recreation.

EVEN in the free spending Far
West the high cost of living IS at last
coming hcme to the housewives.
The nickle until now has been tie
smallest piece of money in general
circulation: and it was looked at
with something hike conlempt-a
good coin to throw to the newsboy
for his paper or give TO the young
ster To buy stuck of candy. For
almost every other purpose the "bit'
a silver dime) was the ordinary unit
of value. IL has been discovered,
however, that much money could be
saved in retail buying; in the long
run 1t makes a difference whether
one pays 81 cents or some multiple
of 5 cents for a dozen eggs, for
example. In Salt Lake City not
more than 20, ,ooo pennies are now
in the banks, and practically none
are in circulation. 1t is believed
that if 1000, 900 one-cent pieces
could be scattered through the cash
registers in the small stores there
would be an appreciable saving in
the cost of filling the market basket,
to say nothing Of the saving in petty
expenditures if smaller money unit
were employed.

HOUSE MAIL BOXES.

At request of Postmaster General
Hitchcock, Senator Penrose, chairman
of the senate committee on postoffices
and post roads. has introduced bill
providing that letter carriers in cities
shall deliver mail only to those
houses which are provided with re-
ceptacles to receive letters and pa
pers.
Letter carriers lose great deal of
time in ringing door-bells and waiting
for some one to come and take the
mail II every house was provided
with a mail box the carriers could
cover much more territory and cover
it more promptly than they do at
present. The cost of providing
houses with such receptacles is very
small and no hardship would be in
flicted upon any one If the request of
the postmaster general were to be
enacted into law.

recovered over $500 damages The
judgment was reversed, however by
the Supreme Court of North Carolina
on the ground that the damages were
too remote and uncertain. In the opin-

that, had the four gallons OF corn

Iowa CITY Citizen.

To the Iowa farmer it will look
about this way: If, as wise statesmen
claim, the removal of the tariff on
farm products will not injuFe the
men who produce them from the soil,
how can it benefit those who con,
sumo them? In such situation, why
take the chances? When the manu-
featuring east is willing to consent to
free trade on manufactured products,
the agricultural west will be able to
join cheerfully in considering free
trade in wheat, eggs, butter and other
food products. President Taft is not
to be blamed for getting the idea
from the recent hullabaloo through
the middle west that lower tariffs all
around would fit the situation. but
while we cannoL condemn the Presi
dent We are not required to adopt
this particular doctrine, born of the
rival contentious OF our political
leaders.
Leaving out the discussion Of
whether the farmer is right or wrong
in this reasoning, 1t furnishes a basis
for the idea of the politician, insur
gent or regular, that there are break
ers ahead for the man who tries to
hold office in the middle west and al
the same time fight for free trade in
farm products.

Senator Lafayette Young is both
consistent and, we believe, following
the wishes of the great majority OF
his constituency, in opposing the pro-
posed measure for reciprocity with
Canada. The bill provides an ex-
hange of agricultural interests for
those of the eastern manufacturers
including some OF the most notorious
trust interests in the nation. II pro
lection is good thing for the manu-
facturer, it is an equally good thing
for the farmer, and to clinch the
whole proposition, the farmer Is en-
titled to square deal When II
comes to the real showdown, 100
we are inclined to the opinion that
the farmer will be able to obtain the
proper verdict for his case.
