WOOL DUTIES FIRST
BURDEN THAT RESTS MOST
HEAVILY ON THE PEOPLE.
Sugar Tax Might Be Retained " IN
iquitous Tariff on Wool, Wholly
Unnecessary, Should be Done
Away With or Lowered.

II was reported from Washington
recently that the findings OF the tarin
board indicated the possibility OF
transferring sugar to the free hst
without serious results to the domes'
tic sugar industry.
But the meaning OF this did not ap.
pear clearly. 1t might have been all
sugars could safely be put on the Tree
list, or merely that all protection
could safely be withdrawn from tne
sugar-refining business.
Probably the refiners need no pro
lection, although the Havemeyer con
Germ showed Its dissatisfaction WIFI
the existing measure of protection Dy
defrauding the government OF miilionf
of its revenue from raw sugars.
But that our producers OF raw sugar
can flourish without protection Is
more doubtful. At any rate, II the
proposal should be made to deprive
them of protection we may be sure
they would shout tremendous pro
test. The beet interests would be es
pecially furious.
And besides, putting the interests
out of the question, sugar Is an I'M
portant source of revenue. The duties
collected range from $53.OO0,0Oo to
s64 900, 900 a year, nearly all from raw
sugar, for the duty on refined Is prac
tically prohibitory.
The ad valorem equivalents OF the
duties collected run from II to "
per cent. This is almost as bad al
the wooden rates. But 1t is some sat
isfaction to know that the sugar rates
give much more revenue In proportion
to the whole burden imposed than az
the woolen rates.
That is one reason why the stand
patters are always SO much more
ready to sacrifice the sugar rates. bu
It Is an excellent reason why consum
ers should prefer to retain the sugar
duties and reduce or abolish those
that cost them very much more To-
protection to interests that have
waxed fat at the expense of the peo
pie and no longer need any protection
whatever.

DUTY TO

A LTHOUGH It is the common
IA thought that most of the men
working on the great Panama Canal
left their religion behind them in the
states, those who live in the Canal
zone know there are many who OBJ
serve the laws of Moses and lead the
same pure lives they did at home
When the canal was begun family
quarters we're built. many men
brought or sent for their wives and
children. and 1t has paid. Family life
and the presence Of good women In
their homes have been powerful in
fiuences for good. These families
coming from every state in the Union
meant that schools and churches must
be provided. Again Uncle Sam met
the need, and at every town along the
line of the canal built schoolhouses
and churches. Teachers were obtain
ed from the states Chaplains were
employed to attend to the religious
needs of the Americans In the zone.

President Taft and the West.

II he has gained with the profes-
sional politicians, the disposition OF
the people OF the western states in
wolves another question. Though
heartily greeted everywhere by the
masses there is no evidence that their
sentiments toward him and his admin
istration have undergone a favorable
change. So far from It, his speeches
in support of his tariff commission
and in defense Of his vetoes have met
with a chilling reception in the "en-
emy's country" with all the respect
that was paid to his person. He has
found himself incapable of persuad.
ing the people that there was ade-
uuate cause for his vetoes Of moder-
ate reductions OF duties on their food
and clothing, or for congress to wait
for reports of his tariff commission

When does slang cease to be slang!
This Is not conundrum. but the In
Quiry of a correspondent who seeks
to know what length of life a word
must have. how long must 1t be used
and generally understood. before 1t
passes from being. as 1t were. an un-
desirable alien in the realm OF our
words and becomes naturalized. Every
schoolboy knows that "the herring.
pond" means the sea- Most people
would probably term 1t an American
ism referring to the Atlantic ocean.
The only dictionary handy duly admits
the hyphenated word. describes 1t as
slang. and illustrates 1t with ito be
sent across the herring-pond: to be
transported" says the London Chroni-
Gle. The word was used as long ago
as 1853. when an English ambassador
wrote from Calais to secretary OF
state that he had "traversed the her.
g-pond after about ten hours sail. .

EXTRA SESSION NOT NEEDED
II Held, There Is Little Probability
That Tariff Revision Could Be
Profitably Dealt With.

II special session should be called
Immediately after the adjournment OF
the regular session on March next,
how long would 1t take congress in
which large proportion Of both Dem
ocratic representatives and senators
are inexperienced to frame and pass
a tariff revision measure?
The most recent Of precedents
throwing light on the subject is found
in the length of the revision work of
the congress now drawing to close.
The ways and means committee of the
body began the preparation of meas
ure just after the election in 1908. 1t
continued its hearings throughout the
winter and had bill well advanced
toward completion by the time the
special session opened Still, 1t was
August before 1t became law.
OF course, It may be insisted that
because of difference In viewpoint
toward the tariff. Republican pre-
cedent would have small value for
Democratic congressional leaders
Probably 1t will be found. however
Just as 1t was so found in the Repub-
lican party, that there will not be
complete accord among Democrats as
to the proper tariff policy to be pur-
sued. The experience of the one party
In efforts to harmonic disagreements
may not differ SO much from the ex-
perience of the other.
1t Is to be noted, too, that a large
proportion of the Republicans who
participated in the special tariff ses-
sion of the Sixty-first congress were
veterans Of much previous service and
that house organization was contin-
ued that had long been in control of
the body and was thoroughly in touch
with Its workings. The Democratic
Sixty-second congress would have no
such advantage. OF its Democratic
members a large number will be new
and totally unfamiliar with congress
sional ways. Some time must elapse
before the new machinery Of the
house will run smoothly.
Under these circumstances move
! ment for special session inaugurated
late In January comes too late. 1t
would be different If the movement had
been inaugurated Immediately after
election and the caucus had been held
much earlier, so that detailed plans
for tariff legislation were now well un-
| der way.--St Louis Republic.

Agricultural Prosperity,

The agricultural producers Of the
country will not get so large returns
this year for their industry as in
some previous years. There is a mate
rial decrease in most crops, according
to the latest government figures, from
last year. Prices Of farm products,
however, may compensate measurably
for this.
Census statistics of general farm
data for the western division Of
states show that the total value of
farm land increased 203 per cent dur.
Ing the ten years ending In 1910 1t is
also shown that the average value per
acre increased In the same time 157
per cent.
Such figures give conclusive and
gratifying evidence of agricultural
prosperity.
American farmers have no reason
to complain, so far as their own indus.
try is concerned 1t is only as the
victims of trusts and tariff-protected
monopoly that they find fault with ex-
listing conditions. This they have the
mower to remedy.

THE CARELESS SMOKER.

The average smoker Is too careless
In the manner in which he tosses burn
ing cigar and cigarette butts and light

that no damage will be caused. and he
takes those chances. When a home.

q large section Of city. is burned Dy
ire starting from q smokers care
lessness the smoker goes scot free.
Is 1t not pertinent to ask why the law
should punish man for splitting on
the sidewalk because some one might
contract germ disease as result OF
his carelessness. while no punishment
Is fixed to deter him from throwing
fire about, although millions OF dollars
worth of property and many lives may
be lost II the butt or match chances to
fall where 1t can start fire. The cru
sade of the anti-smoke contingent Is
not making much headway as moral
issue. q movement for the improve
ment of public health or an agitation
against the boorish individual who is
discourteous to those with whom he
comes In contact, says the Louisville
Courier.Journal. II It should result In
the enactment of city ordinances max
ing 1t a. misdemeanor to throw lighted
matches and butts about. and In state
laws providing punishment where 1t is
possible to ak the blame for a fire upon
q negligent smoker. millions Of dollars
worth Of property and many lives
might be saved. The habit Of smoking
cannot be ended by agitation.

ABOUT CURING MEAT
PROCESS A MYSTERY TO MOST
CITY HousEkEEPERs.
Good-Slzed Piece Of Meat May Be
Bought AdvantageousIy and
Corned--Plckllng and Dry.
ing Process Explained.

The method Of keeping meats the
year around is well known to farmers
wives. but q mystery to most city
housekeepers. A good-sized piece OF
meat may be bought advantageously
and corned, after cutting off a portion
to be used in its fresh state. The
rump is best to corn. Beef tongue,
fresh ham. veal or mutton are excel
lent when corned.
A pickle for corning meat In small
quantities is made as follows: Four
pounds Of coarse salt, eight quarts
of water, two pounds Of brown sugar,
one-half pound Of saltpeter; stir until
salt and sugar are dissolved: then
boil and skim, letting the mixture
become cold before pouring over the
meat. Turn the meat In the pickle
every day for week, which will give
1t fine color and flavor. During
the summer this pickle may be boiled
over with an addition of one cup OF
salt and one cup Of brown sugar to
one quart of water, when 1t will keep
sweet for several weeks. A plate or
clean fiat stone must be used to keep
the meat beneath the pickle.
A large beef tongue will have to
be kept In the pickle fourteen days
before 1t is ready for use.
Dried Beef.-Select a round of beef
and divide In two parts through the
middle. rejecting the bone. For
twelve pounds Of meat allow one-half
pound Of fine salt, one-Quarter ounce
Of pulverized saltpeter, and one-half
pound of brown sugar. Rub this mix
ture into the meat every morning un-
til It is all used up. At the end of
this time hang up in the smokehouse
for two weeks to dry. An excess of
smoke will ruin the flavor.
Few people in the city have a
smokehouse. and this method will be
found very good substitute. Drive
nails around the top of a tight barrel,
fill an iron pan or pail half full OF
ashes, build fire on top Of these.
Hang the meat by stout twine on
the nails. place board over the top
of the barrel, and cover tightly with
an old blanket. This method has been
tried In the back yard Of city resi-.
dence and found practical for smoking
two hams. two pieces Of beef. and two
sausages.
II two or three families will club
together and buy their meat whole
sale at one of the packing houses they
will find that their meat bills will be
about one-third what 1t usually costs
