aside business cares at five or six
o'clock every evening and do not re-
sumo them until seven OF eight the
next morning. Not SO your editor.

when catering to the invalid at night
In serving nutriment or refreshing

PAN AMERICAN FRIEND
SHIP.

Whatever the governments Of
the old world are doing. like to
see my country live up to its
ideals. hope the United States
will always keep its escutcheon
clean. We should unite with our
sister republics from Canada to
Cape Horn-those who in com
mon with us have received the
heritage Of democratic institu-
tions-in order to bind stronger
the ties that should bind all the
countries on the western hemi-
sphere together In this con
nection should say that the
Monroe doctrine is just as vital
to the republics of South and
Central America as to the United
States. In the enforcement of
this doctrine we should acknowl-
edge the right Of all these cOun-
tries to maintain their national
integrity and promote their in
ternal prosperity. and it is i'm
pOrtant that our relations with
our sister republics should be
such that not one Of them should
regard us as a possible enemy.

THE TARIFF A MORAL CUES.
TlON.

Who can doubt. in the light of
all the circumstances. that the
tariff question is not only the
chief issue of any political cam
paign that may be fought in this
country, but the issue that is fun
damental to all the rest and with
out whose solution no other issue
can be successfully settled. 1t is
great moral question because
nothing could be more profound
Iy immoral than that any group
of interests or body of men
should control the government
for their own private benefit
Such "A possibility alters the
whole aspect of government. In
stead of making government the
chief instrument Of equity and
justice and regulated opportu-
nifty. instead of making it thing
even handed and impartial. 1t
turns it into an instrument of
gain, a terrible engine Of selfish
ness, and introduces every posi-
BILE element Of corruption into its
operation. - Governor Woodrow
Wilson.
