POINTERS ON THE TARIFF.

II - pcrtincntly said that as. work
is now plenty, wages high, crops sbun-
dant and prices good. what reason ls
and 10 demand change in National
politics. Why should any one desire
such changel The question is not
whether we shall let well enough alone,
hut whether we shall take rash action
in direction which has heretofore
always proved disastrous. On fms point
the Nashville Democrat SCOTS at the
idea that labor would be injured hy
the abolition of the protective features
Of the tariff. and it saws that las for
the souphousc era that is to follow
revision. only those who are about to
lose their jobs have any vision 30
dolorous The trouble is that so
many tens Of thousands of laborers
are likely to lose their jobs, as they
did on the incoming Of Cleveland in
1898 with the threat and final act of
the passage of the Wilson tariff law
in 1904, that the whole country was
psralyzed. and American industries
we're prostrated. 1t is impossible to
dismiss the subject so flippantlv as
our Nashville contemporary seeks to
do, For, as justly stated by the st.
Louis Globe Democrat, "a low tariff
never increased domestic production.
A low tariff never increased wages,
low tariff does not provide butter for
the American workingman s bread
The truth is that it makes all the
difference in the world whether the
tariff is revised by Republicans, keep
ing in view the saving grace of the
protective policy, or by Democrats who
wish to DESTROY that protective policy.
4 revision downward by Republicans
would not hurt. A revision Of any sort
by the Democrats, as has been many
times proved. is disastrous because Of
the difference in the motive and prin-
ciple which they bring into play. Our
industries are built on the protective
policy, and whatever destroys that pol
icy destroys them.

ceived the post Of Provost Of Eton IN
1924, position which he held for
fifteen wears. He was noted for his
scholarship, his wit. his wisdom, and

FOR GOOD ROADS BUILDING.

There was National road congress
held at Atlantic City recently, IN which
good roads were much discussed, with
special reference 20 automobiles. There
can be no question but that the wide
spread ownership and general use Of
automobiles has been very powerful
factor in the stirring up OF practical
work in good.roads making. An auto
mobile is of small account unless il
can have good road TO run upon
Accordingly. the automobile owners are
the most strenuous advocates that We
have for good roads. and there is get

number o. those owners that they count
materially in the good roads movement,
At the congress referred TO, the auto
mobile manufacturers announced that
tbev would contribute percentage Of
their gross receipts in 1918 TO the
good roads cause. It is estimated that
these contributions will amount 70
close upon Slj.0OO,000, and this viii

By FRANCES sHAFFER.

Away back in I7ss the Bayarian gov
eminent issued decree requiring all
land owners to plant fruit trees along
the public highways bordering their es-
tAtes. and the work was systematically
under way about the middle Of the last
century.
And now it is said that Bavaria has

something Ike S170eOo0OO.
Such q requirement might impose some

a drive along public highways IN the
gala springtime Of the year, with trees
Just bursting into blossoming glory! Our
Krandfathers and our great-great-grand-
fathers failed 10 leave US the beaud-
full and valuable heritage, but II is never
too late fer a beginning. And without
any consideration OF the practical end

could not such a movement be started
in America, just a movement. based

Nut Trees should Have Place.
we nave our oreAmS OF lne Country

we shall have reason TO grow glad and
proud Of the wonderful stretches Of land
that can hold their own throughout the
world. And in nose dreams nut trees
are just as riotously abundant as the
more luscious, hut not more tempting,
fruit trees.
Perhaps II one knew more about 1t one
might not wonder quite so often why It
is that farmers, just ordinary farmers,
are so chary with their fruit and nut
trees. Boys and girls, and grown folks,
too, gladly tramp for miles Just for the
sake of the dropping nuts that are found
none too abundantly and none too often.
Surely there is waste space where
nut trees would love to grow! And a
mere woman who knows absolutely
nothing about reasons that may DOM

TO understand why there are not more

CORRECT GLOVES

Many Kinds Are Suitable for Ath.
letic Sports.

The girl who is devoted to out-of-door
sports and yet takes great pride In the
appearance Of her hands, will do well to
take a glance at the many styles Of
gloves suitable for athletic purposes, for
it is only by covering the hands that she
can preserve the pretty oval OF the finger
nails and keep the palms from becoming
calloused.
The best riding gloves are of mocha
and chamols. These have the comfortable
mousquetaire wrist and plain backs. or
II the gauntlet style is preferred these
may be had also.
For golhng. tennis, and rowing the most
satisfactory gloves are those of chamois
in two-button length, and these come in

but Il must be large enough to permit a
firm grasp on the reins without the hands
becoming cramped.
As a rule, during the summer, the
heavy pelt gloves are too heating, and
cause the hands TO perspire freely. but
the shops are showing a very sensible
style in the cloth, which looks precisely
like channels but wears and washes even
better.

around Grants tomb along the Hudson.
Tourists always hnd II an interesting
SPOT. and the dainty cherry blossoms
will cast a very sweet spell over the
place where many foreigners mingle with
our home folk for look at the tomb
OF one of our great national figures
Just now II stands out prominently
and rather coldly, but when there Is
a rich setting of trees, all in abundant
blossom, there will be the lure Of beauty
as well as that Of interest.
Again apropos, did you read awhile
ago of two boys who have already set
out 1000 pine saplings on their fathers
farm in the northern part of New York
State? They are planning to add 5000 to
that beginning, and when the work Is
finished it is expected that their e1ort
at reforesting will show the pretty and
very practical total Of $4,000 growing
trees.
Boy scouts are being turned to for
bits OF usefulness here and there, and
maybe, as time goes on. IT will be the
boys who will have big and an i'm
portant part in the work of making
the whole countryside more alive than
we even dreamed OF today.
Boy Scouts worth while.
The Scouts are asked to help in the
determination Of flies, and out in Seat
tie eighteen troops OF eager volunteers
scurried about the city making door
mob" calls on the residents, in the serv-
ice of the Anti-Tuberculosis League
They devoted a day to the work, and
before sunset there swung from every
door-knob in the city a little tag con-
tanning the leagues appeal to voters to
support the proposition for the issuance
Of bonds needed in the work OF building
a public ssnatorium for the care Of
tubercular patients.
Who says the Boy Scouts are not
worth while? Yesterday a fight against
the deadly n.y. today q crusade to
help wipe out the great plague, tubercu-
losis, and tomorrow maybe wide
spread planting Of saplings TO beautify
and enrich the countrywide knows?
Since the Boy Scouts and the Camp
fire Girls have a longer time TO look
ahead than have older folk, they are
the ones-they and the powers that
be" in higher places-to arouse to q real
enthusiasm for everything that may
tend to give us a country Of which we
shall be even more proud than we are
today.
