baronetcy upon Walter Scott. Two
years later the king of England went
to pay visit to his Scotch subjects
He was received with indescribable
enthusiasm. and Scott led the mani
festations organized in his honor.
You are the one Scotchman l nave
chiefly desired to see" said the sover
eirn. The two men then drank one
apothcr's health, and Scott begged
George ". to give him the glass
which he had just put to his lips. Inc
favor was granted, and the poet put
the glass in his pocket.
Unfortunately when he got home he
forgot to place the relic in safety, sat
down upon it and broke it into a
thousand picccs.-From De Mowers

The great stumbling block III the way

survey of the city is made for houses, II
i apparent that hardly dozen SUIT
able residences are available Tor persons
of small means. Within the last three
months a number OF buildings have
gone up on the old fair grounds ana a
nunber OF others are proposed. One
Of the great difficulties is the securing
Of eligible sites but there is an aouno'
ancs Of vacant ground 10 the north
western section Of the city which could
be built upon.
What is needed is the formation OF
y local company With capital OF at least
$50, 900 to start operations on medium
scale. Such a company by issuing
bouds for 100000 could erect fifty
houses.
The estimated return from such an
investments would run from ~ to 10

Alexandria has an enterprise that VIII

The New Cardinals.

The design of the pope in deciding
to create three additional cardinals
for the United States is TO evidence
his regard for the country and its peo-
pie. The selection OF Archbishop O'Con-
nell OF Boston, Archbishop Farley of
New York and Monsignor Falcoui of
Washington is distinguished mark Of
appreciation of their loyalty to the
holy see.
1t is 10 be imagined that nowhere
more than in the vatican was there
keener sense of humiliation arising
from the scandal consequent upon the
unbariEg of the Roosevelt-Storer in
tTtgue for the elevation of the arch
bishop of ST. Paul to the cardinalate.
The publication of the correspondence
between Roosevelt and My Dear Ma
ria" forever blasted whatever chan ces
Archbishop Ireland had to attain his
ambition. 1t is to the everlasting
credit of the pontiff and to the glory
of the church that political influence
in America counts for nothing IN the
vatican and IS received with disfavor
The archbishop Of New York nor the
archbishop of Boston ever made a DO
Htical speech or an eleventh-hour pro
nouncement in favor Of the election of
the republican nominee for president
II is to be assumed that the burden Of
administering their episcopal duties
took all their time 10 the exclusion Of
politics, and the honor given them is
in the nature of reward for minding
their own business and miudiug # we'll

The Thrift i'm Our Times.

Ida n. TarbelI. whose name is IA
miliar TO John d. Rockefeller, has
written a book that is sure TO be
among the best sellers" The title is
The Tariff In Our Times" The I'M
deriving theme OF her book is this.
NiEe-tenths of the people have sup
posed that duties have been so arrang-
ed as TO enable struggling industries
10 get established. In reality they
have been made a matter of barter and
trade in which protection has been
measured 20 q large extent by the size
OF campaign contributions.
Miss 1arbeU declares il was he dis
Covery OF this fac that converted Sen
ator Dolliver and made him an irsur-
gent. SO far as am concerned" he
exclaimed in one of his great speeches
n the tariff session Of 1909. II am
through with il. ! intend 20 fisht f.
do not propose that the remaining
years of ny life whether they be in
public affairs or in my private bust
ness, shall be eiyen up TO dull con
sent 10 the success of ell these con
spiraCies. which do not hesitate before
cur very eyes 10 use the lawmakiug
power Of the United States 10 multiply
their own profits and 70 fill the market
places with Witnesses OF their avarice
and greed"
As Miss TarbeI puts it Ever since
ISSS IL has been a settled and openly
expressed principle in political circles
that your protection shall be IL proper
ton TO your Pouucs! contribution. In
that year IL was laid down officially
that as the manufacturers Of the Unit
ed States got practically the sole ben
eft of the tariff, and in prosperous
years made millions out Of il, there
fore it was entirely iustihable that
those who granted the tariff should,
when their time Of need came, put
these manufacturers over the fire and
= the fat out of them.
80, after all, as Miss LTarbel points
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1911-11-03
+, the tariff Is a moral question.

out, the tariff Is a moral question
It is now, and has been since the
war. based on the purchase OF govern
ment favors with influence or with
money. Pennsylvania virtually trades
support for the union for high duties
for it's manufactures. Rhode Island
manufacturers raise money for parti-
san candidates and in return are per
mitted to levy a tax on the people Of
the whole country.
The shock and disgust" Miss Tar
bell says, come in the discovery that
our tariffs are not good or bad appI-
cations of the principles of protection.
but that they are good or bad bar
gains. Dip into the story OF the tariff
at any time since the civil war and
you will find wholesale proofs Of this.
