EVER TAKE A MUSIC BATH7
They Are as Good for tho Soul,
Holmes Says. as Water for
the Body.

One must be educated, no doubt, to
understand the more complex and diff
ferent kinds of musical composition.
Go to the concerts where you know
that the music is good. and that you
ought to like it whether you do or not.
Take a music bath once or twice
week for a few seasons. and you will
find that 1t is to the soul what the
water bath is to the body. ] w6ldnt
trouble myself about the affectations
of people who go to this or that series
Of concerts chiefly because 1t Is fash
ionable. Some of these people whom
we think so silly will perhaps find.
sooner or later. that they have dor
mant faculty which is at last waking
up. and that they who came because
others came, and began by staring at

strung and tuned 1t Will respond to all

protectIon for Business.

President Taft, in his address on
the relations of the overnment to the
business of the country. placed the
subject OF governmental activity upon
a plane of understanding and accepta-
bility to the business interests that
has done more to allay unrest than
any other fact in the progress OF the
movement for federal supervision OF
industry, 1t is now seen that the pres
ident Is seeking to protect the coun-
try from drift toward socialism. Its In
evitahle destiny If the aggregations
OF capital continue and the clamor OF
the people increases as well. 1t is
seen that the president Is seeking to
place the activity Of the government
upon a plane with its regulation OF
interstate commerce through the
appropriate commission, and that he
will do all in his power to give charac-
ter to business enterprise and to Sc
cure for 1t the safeguards OF federal
protection from violent assault.
Mr. Taft sees the logic and neces-
sity for the regulation Of tariffs by
permanent board qualified to collate
the data and to formulate the recon-
mentations that will bring about ad
1ustments Of the tariff without disor
der to enterprise. Hostility In itself
he regards as thoroughly reprehensi
BILE. Progressive policies must have
an avowed end and a definite policy
for the protection OF enterprise With
good sense, with good feeling, with
vood intentions the country can ad-
Just all its business concerns without
loss to any who are honest and with
out fear to any who are Just

WORK OF THE TARIFF BOARD
Thoroughness OF Its Investigations
Striking Contrast to Slipshod
Methods OF Democrats.

An address delivered before the
National Association OF Cotton Manu-
facturers in session at Manchester,
Vt, by Henry C. Emery. chairman OF
the tariff board, disclosed the thor
oughness OF the Investigations which
the board Is conducting and offers a
striking contrast with the supernciai
methods followed by the average ways
and means committee.
Reiterating that the tarin board has
no concern in the degree OF protec-
ton to be determined by congress.
that It was concerned solely with re-
porting the basic facts upon which
that degree could be scientifically
based, Mr.. Emery said that the board
was not contining Its investigations,
as popularity supposed. to the manu-
tacturer or to his mill costs. but had
extended its inquiries from the manu-
facturer through the commission
house and the jobber to the consumer.
showing the relation of the manufac-
turers' cost and mill price to the price
paid at different stages down to the
purchase of the article by the ultf
mate consumer
Compare this exhaustive informa-
ton with the evidence ELECTED before
the congressional committee during a
tariff hearing, consisting mainly OF
generalities and sweeping assertions
by manufacturers and importers
which was accepted or rejected usual
ly according to the political pre1u-
dices of the committeeman and biased
likewise by the self-interest OF the
witnesses. The tariff board report. on
the other hand. will offer the facts and
figures with such detail that the ques-
ton must be threshed out on the
economic principle.
II was to await such definite infor-
nation. rather than to accept the po'
litical and personal compromises EN-
bodied In the tariff bills sent up to
him at the recent session. that led the
president to veto those measures. In
view of the evidence promised by Mr.
Emery there can be no question OF
the wisdom of his course.

Enouoh for the Present.

The tariff board gives notice that
its appropriation is SO nearly exhaust
ed that the wool and cotton schedules
are the only ones it will be able to re-
port on next December. Those are
the two schedules In which the people
take the most interest, They carry
the duties which the men and women
OF the country complain OF the most.
There are other schedules which have
duties as excessive, but not SO op-
pressive.
An exhaustive report on those two
schedules will suffice for the present.
After congress shall have reformed
them and given relief to the people In
that quarter where 1t is most needed,
It may wish to take breathing spell
until the tariff board shall have re-
ported on the iron and steel and glass
and chinaware schedules. There are
in them some duties which cannot
stand the test OF critical examina-
ton,

AN APPEAL TO REASON
TAFr's IOWA SPEECH AN AssUR-
ANcE TO BUSINESS.
Broad-Minded Appeal for Law Against
Passion. and for National Co.
Operation Against Section
al Antaoonism.

The presidents Iowa speech upon
the relations OF the government with
business Is just another OF his broad
minded appeals to the rule OF reason
1t Is an appeal for conservation
against destruction. for law against
passion, for national cooperation
against sectional antagonism. But this
appeal is made upon the basis OF re-
suits achieved. OF the real progress
that has been made in bringing great
business forces under the reign OF
law
We have reached a point where We
can call a halt. not in the progressive
movement to keep business free from
abuses, but where we can call matt
against appeals to spirit OF pure
hostility to prosperity on the theory
that no one can be prosperous with
out being dishonest or vtolator or
law in securing the profits OF his bust
ness"
The central thought OF this speech
is the sufficiency OF existing law. un-
der the recent decisions OF the Su-
preme court. to correct abuses In bus
mess without injustice or injury and
without obstructing prosperity. The
ANTITRUST act, the president contends.

tions because they are corporations or
because they are large. but only
against those whose purposes or meth

harmony with law the government has
no more concern with them.
The president very fully assumes
responsibility for the recent disturb
ing activities OF the attorney general; !;
but this is equivalent to the assurance
that these activities are not to be pur-
sued for purposes OF continued disturb
ance and anxiety. The DEGREES OF the
Supreme court. In fact. were suffi-
cient assurance that the arbitrary
wrecking of property and enterprise
would not be permitted. What is OBJ
structing prosperity now is not the
fear OF legal requirements, to whlch
business has been gradually adjusting
itself. but only the unrest created by
unreasnn,ng popular pre1udices engen'
dered by reckless political mbitions.

,neompetsney Revealed.

Never before in our history has
such ignorance been shown. even by
the Democratic party, as was shown
by Chairman Underwood Of the ways
and means committee in presenting
the wool and wooden bill. He was out
of the way about $s5 100000 in caicu
lating the revenues and proved that
he was incapable Of reading correctly

Had No Place on Statute Books.

The farmers free list masqueraded
under the guise of l measure to COM
pensate the farmer for losses under
the terms Of the reciprocity agree
ment negotiated by the president In
fact however. leading Democrats
upon the floor of the house admitted
that 1t was no such measure at all.
The reciprocity measure, however,
calls for no compensation to the farm
ers, as 1t will work for their benefit
In accordance with that of all other
classes. The measure was full OF
dramatic and Illogical features. as the
president showed by analysis, 1t was
the veriest hodgepodge and would
have had the effect of raising duties
upon some things by reducing them
upon others, and 1t would have sim
ply destroyed the well-balanced metal
schedule of the general tarin law
The arrant nonsense and the intrinsic
viciousness of the measure appear
from the presentation by Mr. Taft OF
the facts relating to boots and shoes
The measure put on the free list the
finished product and retained the tax
on raw materials-a burden to manu-
facturers and an injustice to every
one The bill was wrong In princ1-
pie. It missed what 1t was designed
to do: 1t did SO many injurious
things and 1t was SO loosely framed
and vague In its meaning that to have
placed it upon the statute books
would have been treachery to all who
believe in even a moderate degree OF
protection.

bound by the spirit of the ancient saw
age customs. Historians tell of one OF
the baptismal ceremonies of the Mesh
lc tribes. who fought their way to SUI

rived on the scene. To each boy baby
the priests chanted this commands
THY profession and faculty is war;

they said with far less ceremonial:
