Officer, there Is a man In that fat
who is trying to cut his throat
Don't worry about It; there isn't
room for him to do It,"
The Lamar register., 1911-09-27
THE REAL TARIFF EXPERTS
Not Underwood or Clark or the
Tariff Board, But the People
of the Country

Speaker Champ Clark is aggriev-
ed at the scoring given the Demo-
Gratis and the Insurgents by the
President for their Tariff-tinkering
tactics. Mr.. Clark recites the Tar
iff-fixing record of himself and Mr..
Underwood, and points out that
among the members of the house
who voted for the Tariff changes
proposed in the bills vetoed by
the President were some who have
passed upon Tariff measures for
p number of administrations back.
The deduc ton of Mr. Clark Is
that the Tariff board is not com
petent, and that he and his Demo
cratic associates are competent to
provide for changes in the sched-
ules. His Indignation over the
sweeping condemnation passed by
the President upon the bills and
the recklesshess of the enterprise
entered upon by the Tariff revisers
does not substract an iota from
the fact that the characterization
of Mr.. Taft exactly fits the case.
The Democrats seized upon an
unexpected victory that gave them
control OF the House to enter upon
a crusade of TariffItinkering. even
though the extra session was call
ed specifically for the purpose of
enacting a reciprocity measure that
failed of passage at the previous
session. 1t does not alter the ma
ture of the adventurous acts of
the Democrats and their insurgent
allies to affirm that they forewarn-
ed the President that should he
call an extra session they would
feel at liberty to enter into the
Tamff-patching business.
Mr.. Taft was well aware of this
fact without their saying so. but
the larger Interest of continental
trade agreement greatly surpassed
in his estimation the Ill effects of
Democratic general Tariff activity.
He also knew that should any I'm
called-for Tariff bills reach him he
possessed the power of disposing
of them effectually.
The real Tariff experts are mel
Their the Democratic leaders in Con
gress nor the Particular group
who are lightly esteemed by Mr.
Clark and who make up the gener-
al Tariff board The real Tariff
experts are the people. They are
expert in 1.-THE most prcatical way
of determining when Tariff changes
are needed and in what respect

CHANGES OF FASHION
IN BUILDING MODES
Basement Kitchens and Dining
Rooms Now Figured as
Antiquated.

1 Basement dining rooms We're feature OF
a large proportion of the houses of the
city not so many years ago. but they are
not found in the newer houses, and no
doubt many persons of the younger gene
| ration never heard of house with such
| an arrangement. All of which is only
| another way of saying that fashion
changes in houses just as they do in
| clothes
| 1t was economy that first dictated this
| type of house building, because the cost
1 OF construction was confined to provid-
/ ing only the actual space needed for liy-
/ ing purposes. The first or main floor of
/ these older dwellings was apt to sug-
gest an extravaganza in the use Of space,
except in the instances where the room
/ back of the parlor was occupied as q
| bedroom. When that was done then
| every room entered into the daily life
| Of the family. There were no superfiu-
Gus rooms.
To provide for the needs OF large fam
Ties such house was extended to three
| stories in height. For smaller families
lot was apt to be narrow and the house
correspondingly SO, for In that period
building lots were in proportion much
| higher in cost than Is the case today.
| me cost OF nome sites continued TO ne
| high for some time after the basement
| dining room began to give way 10 an
! other fashion and that largely accounts
| for the change in the building mode.
Some Signs Of Evolution.
| In the typical house Of the newer
period a back building was provided,
and in it was placed the dining ROBIN.
| The kitchen remained in the basement.
but this. proved to be an awkward ar
| rangement for most housekeepers. who
preferred to be within close range OF
this important part of the house. Pres
entity the back building was extended
farther back, and then a. place was
| found Tor the kitchen next to- the din
| ing room.
| This proved to be a satisfactory ar
| rangement, save in the case of narrow
lots. where it was found there was not
| enough space for air and light between
the walls Of the adjoining houses In
other words. the areaways proved to be
damp and gave an insufficient supply
of light and air to the rooms. especially
In the main building and on the principal
floor.
In recent days the back building has
practically vanished along with the base
ment dining room. The building lots are
In fact. they are so wide there
is room enough for the kitchen and
dining room beside each other The re-
suit is that the rooms. dividing the space
back of the living room or parlor. have
| windows and doors opening into the rear
yards.
The same principle is carried out in the
larger houses by increasing the width Of
the lot. and building the house over the
entire frontage and making only two
rooms deep. The interiors of houses built
m this fashion are much lighter than
those of the older style and get moro sun
| light.

Colonizing the. Jewish Poor.

There is nothing surprising in the an

which has been doing just that sort OF
thing for a number of years, and the
method is now we'll established in jew
ish philanthropic circles. 1t has been

What the back to the farm move

bility, stick-to-itiveness on the part of
those who are doing the retreat. There
are many stories told Of Jewish sweat
shop" workers who, by tndomitab.e per-
severance, have wrested a living from
the soil. although utterly ignorant at lne
start of farming methods But that is
too severe on the inexperienced. an tn
method of sending poor families out i!

The Cossack and the Saint.
From the London Globe.

A Paris ootemporary by way OF illus
tration as to how some persons discharge
their religious obligations relates a story
OF a Cossack who was overtaken by a
terrible storm Of thunder and lightning.
In hts terror he prayed to the saint to
save him. and promised II only he once
more reached his home he would sell his
horse and the proceeds should be spent
in candles In honor of the saint. The
saint, pleased with so generous an offer.
stayed the storm and the Cossack reach
ed home in safety.
This is how he discharged his vow. The
next day he went to the market with q
cock and q horse. His method OF sale
was this: He would onl-' sell the two
together, the horse at 30 kopecks about
Is pence) and the cock at 200 rubles about
ECO. After a time the Cossack found a
purchaser on these terms. and faithful to
his VOW the Cossack devoted Is pence to
the purchase OF candles for the altar OF
his patron saint.
