OUR NEW SOVEREIGN.

We have new sovereign, it ap.
pears. Most of us were ignorant OF
the fact until last week, but there is
no longer any excuse for mlslntor-
nation. Mr.. Taft has introduced us
to the monarch and it will be our own
fault if we do not get better acqualnt-
ed.
Our new sovereign is tariff
board. Do we complain of extor-
tionate taxes? The tariff board must
determine whether our grumbling is
justified. Do we feel that freer com
mercial intercourse with other ma
lions is desirable? The tariff board
must see whether we know what we
are talking about. Do we insist that
Congresses and Presidents shall be
bound by their promises? The tariff
board is the keeper of their con-
sciences and it must be consulted be-
fore they can act.
That the people may familiarize
themselves with the potentates to
whom the sovereignty of the United
States has passed let us consider the
mem bership of this puissant council
of five There is Henry G. Emory, a
professor at Yale; there is James B.
Reynolds, of Massachusetts, Treas
ury employee; there is Alvin H. San
ders OF Illinois, and editor; there is
William NJ Howard, of Georgia,
formerly a Congressman, and there
is Thomas w. Page, of Virginia., a
college professor.
We hold these gentlemen in the
highest respect. They are learned
men. They are hard working men.
There is no reason to doubt that
they are patriotic men. But they are
overloaded as no other five men that
ever lived have been. Atlas had only
to sustain the earth, merely a physi-
cal feat. They are required to
search the hearts and pockets of
90,00O,0OO of people, to regulate
their political, commercial and indus
trial destiny and to reconcile conflict
ing interests and purposes that must
be always at war.
No other monarch or group of
monarchs has had such task.
Autocrats have attempted something
of the kind, but they were not
hampered by the Constitution of the
United States. Moreover they did

bent upon ruling themselves. The
tariff boards sovereignty under this
administration appears to be COM
plete, and yet we cannot believe that
it will be either successful or lasting.
Twice within three years the people
have said that the taxes upon food
and clothing must come down. Both
parties have assented to the program.
AS a candidate Mr.. Taft gave it his
hearty support. Now that Congress
has passed the laws that were prom
Used, Mr. Taft discovers that nothing
can be done without the approval of
the tariff board. Hence his vetoes.
Kings sometimes abdicate and run
away, but this is the first time in
American history that a President
!; has surrendered his authority to q
committee Of experts. We do not
believe that their rule will extend
beyond the 18th Of March, 1913 . st.

law was "indefensible.
But he defends it with a veto
against the changes now proposed
1t is conceded that the Ia1t-Ald-
rich-Cannon tariff gives the trusts all
the best of it and robs the consumers.
The wool bill, the farmers free list
bill, the steel bill, the sugar Dill, the
cotton bill, all will be vetoed because
they were not drawn by a tarlH COM
mission.
Yet the schedules they are intend
ing to revise were not drawn by a
tariff commission and were signed by
the president.
Last summer he gave the trusts
the benefit of the doubt.
This summer he gives the trusts
the benefit of the doubt.
With each tick of the clock the
trusts through the present tarl1t
law are robbing the people OF the
country.
The trusts have had the benefit OF
"unscientific revision" for year.
The people have all doubts resolv-
ed against them.
If the Taft-Aldrich-Cannon bill
drawn by congress with the aid OF a
trust lobby was scientific" enough
to be signed are not the bills reduc-
ing it's schedule, also drawn by con-
gress but without the aid Of trust
lobby and without the aid of Aldrich
lust about as "scientific' from the
standpoint of the man with the din
ner-pail?
If the Canadian reciprocity bill,
written in the dark by the Lord
knows who, is worthy of being made
into law are not the wool, cotton,
STEEL sugar and free list revisions,
written after months of study by con-
gress, equally worthy of taking a
chance on.
The trusts have had their inning;
why not give ordinary folks the ben
eft of the doubt.
There wouldn't be as big a cam
paign fund Forthcoming in 1912, per-
haps, but on the other hand there
wouldn't be the need for such big
one.-Des Moines News.

w. H. Robb of the Creston Amer

LITTLE THINGS.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:
Will you allow me to make a sugges-
ton?
If So here it is:
When sending in cake OF pudding
recipes, think it a good plan to men
ton how it is put together, for you
can put the same recipe together in
different ways and obtain entirely diff
ferent results. You may not think
this is SO, but just ask any experienced
cook.
A week ago, one of the recipes given
was tried by one of my neighbors.
She brought me in piece of it.
The cake was not good. She gave me
the recipe to read. 1t sounded good
to me. SO after she had gone de-
cided to try it and when baked brought
her in a piece of mine-a most deli
cious cake.
/ could scarcely convince her that
I had used the same recipe. She had
put it together entirely different with
the above results.
I think there are just as many mex
perienced cooks read those recipes as
otherwise, and it does not seem as if
it would be a great deal more trouble
to tell just how they are put together

MAS IDEA OF HOME.


Dear Sisters and Brothers of the So
cial Corner: Our Washington sister
asks, What is home? The definition in
the dictionary is, A dwelling house;
the house or place in which one re-
sides. That describes very well some
homes that / know of. But it doesn't
describe my ideal of home. Love is
the greatest thing in the world, and
eontentment next. Home should have
both. In a home like that there is no
envy of those who live in big houses
and go in automobiles. The family are
happy to live within their income in
their own way, not bluffing or trying
to appear what they are not. Saving
something for a rainy day, and TAX
ing some pleasure as they so along;
trying to make the others as happy
and comfortable as possible, Nothing
in the house, OF no room too nice to
use and enjoy.
I read of Lillian Nordica singing
Home, Sweet Home" in the village
hall in Pennington, Me-, last week. 1t
was her first visit to her old home in
thirty years. Weather beaten farmers
and their wives sat and wept.

HOME, SWEET HOME.

Sisters of the Social Corner: There
are so many associations connected
which no doubt are sacred to most of
us in that little word home. That
word and mother should be very dear
to our hearts. 1t has often been said:
What is home without mother" 1t
has always seemed so strange to me
and as beautiful as the French Ian
gAase it, there is no word for home.
Maison means house, and that is as
near to it rs thsy get. In this age of
invention it Ii wonder to nae some
smart Ffenehman does not invent one.
There are many houses and abodes in
this world. but they are not homes
1t was once said to nae: Home IS
where one sleeps, eats and has his

way. The measurements of home are
unbounded. No fathomable depth, no
bounds to the breadth. 1t makes no
difference how far we roam. to say we
are going home and then the thoughts
of the welcome.
In a home Gods chief attribute
love-must reign. Then there will be
that joy. peace and comfort of which
the world knows nothing. How my
heart goes out to the immortal John
Howard Payne, who wrote Home,
Sweet Home" After he was 13 years
old ha did not have q home. and up %
that age he had not the full realization
of a home. No loved ones to give him
rest and comfort after weary toiling;

WHY DO WE?

Dear Sisters, of the Social corM~
am asking myself why we permit
grief to mar our lives. Grief is of no
consequence to the dead, but II is the
enemy of the living. The mother or
father or companion or child has
passed on-why not cherish the good
and the beautiful in their lives rather
than lament the distresses of their
departure? Through love and precept
and spiritual power those We love can
not die if we keep them alive in our
minds. Life, eternal life-is the thing
for us to set our. hearts upon; and
the blessings of life are the things to
cherish. If we get on the wrong side
of life we are in danger of getting
lost in deep shadow-deep grief has
no star of hope. The beautiful the
good and the true form the trinity Of
the heart and it is peace and joy to
sit with them. We cannot avoid sor-
roW-we should not. Cowper said:
with a soul that ever felt the sting
of sorrow. sorrow is a sacred thing"
We should all respect the sorrowful
and bear in mind that to one in grief
the right word is like a switch on
railroad tracl-an inch between safe
ty and disaster-and may help one TO
better conditions. RUTH.
