Reciprocity Must Go With
Tariff Revision

Wilson's eyes fell upon striking objectlesson in
reciprocity he stood the dock at Hamilton Bermuda the
other day watched the landing of that of Argentine
cattle that reduced the cost of living the island
The lesson should be applied in this country Not only
the island ALSO the
prices of the of life be the
by free with countries that have the things
and and that the things have to sell
This the way of the Democratic party continued power
and popularity and the opposite way leads dscrdt and
Chairman Underwoods initial conference lacks
along this line The principle Of reciprocity
the guiding principle Of tariff revision
1t is not necessary for the Democratic congress wait
the incoming majority of March The majority in the

convention for the last twenty years. and by Mckinley
and Taft
Republican presidents and congresses much

Of the party have always recognized the
Republican voters like the Of Democratic voters believe
kind Of tariff laws THAT WILL EXPAND OUR MARKETS
WITHOUT DIMINISHING OUR POWER TO PRODUCE AND
DELIVER THE GOODS.
THAT is RECIPROCITY.
Rightly considered it is not party question all 1t
should be lifted out Of the ruts of party controversy
The g of reciprocity is to make Free
trade profitable and to maintain protection American
industries so far as they need protection.
The Americans practical sort of people with pract
eye for realities and results We easily

wordwars between protectOns ravng eetrad
Every sensible American understands to have

the other hand that if should

rowest limits and destroy much of commercial power
is absurd to expand by methods that
stroy industries 1t equally absurd build up
supplying industries by methods that destroy foreign
Thus it is clear to all but rap Missionaries and the mudde
headed that reciprocity the only reasonable tariff policy
COMBINES WHAT is SOUND IN PROTECTION WITH WHAT
is SANE IN FREE TRADE.
Every nation in Continental Europe has lived under
consistent system of reciprocity century The
United States has been struggling establish such system
more than thirty We have been baked and hwared
this struggle by the rival fanatcm of tariff docrnare
a SOLID phRlanx of selfish vested interests
It was Senator Adrich who knocked the life of
reciprocity plans made by James Blaine the Mckinley
DILL OF 1900 Adrch and the sinister interests which
snted were the chief enemies of every other reciprocity plan
twenty years.
These of obstruction have their footing
the United States has come to do and do
thoroughly what the nation has long srven accomplish
Now is the time to plan for expansion of foreign
trade through the establishment of orderly
tenn of reciprocity.

beau at home, are there any par
ents so dull as not to be able to fig
ure out what the result of that is
bound to be? If the girl is very
homely, and the father and mother
lucky, 1t dooms her to be an old
maid. If the girl is good looking
and attractive, 1t means that she
will meet men on the street and
pick up chance acquaintance, and
that some day she will elope with
some stranger of whom her people
never heard, and who is more
likely than not TO be just the man
she shouldn't have married.
To What They Doom Her.
Instead of driving young men
away from their home, every father
and mother of daughters should not
only welcome their daughters male
acquaintances, but should use every
means to get personally acquainted
with the young men and find out
everything possible about them, for
only in that way can they guard
their daughters and prevent them
from making disastrous marriages.
This mother complains that her
daughter doesn't confide in her.
Why should she? How could the
mother expect it when she puts her
foot down on every plan the girl
has and forbids her every pleasure?
Such a woman is not a mother.
She's nothing but a grinding ty-
rant, and she had as well realize
that her daughter looks upon her
as a despot and not a sympathetic
friend.
The mother asks my advice. 1t is
this: Turn over a new leaf. Wake
up to the fact that a girl of % isn't
a baby She is q woman grown,
with a woman's rights. Give her
some pleasure at home if you want
her to stay there. Let her invite in
all of her friends, and make as
many parties as she wants to. Sus-
pend your 10 o'clock rule, for it's
lot better that you and your equity
husband should lose a little sleep
than it is for your daughter to be
meeting strange men on the street.
Just remember If you want to
keep your children at home you've
got to make your home an agree
able place to stay in. II you want
your children's love, you must be
lovable. and if you desire your
daughters confidence, you must lis
ten TO her with understanding, SYM
pathy and helpfulness. Nobody.
not even daughter. loves a jailer,
or confides in a wet blanket.

loss Of TIME. The huge dragon eyes
of the alto stare at you from the
mouths of canyons, and its broad
padded wheels take safe hold on the
edges of precipices where even the
sure footed broncho would not in
spire confidence.
The statistics of the automobile
are amazingly interesting reading.
If you neglect to inform yourself
about them you miss one Of the
most significant things of our era.
AT the last census we had about
9O,OOOOOO inhabitants in this coun-
try. On October 1 last there were
almost 100000 motor cars regis
tered in the United States-nearly
one for 80 human beings.
A Prerogative of the Rich.
California has one for every q
of it's inhabitants; New York for
every rs.
OF course many Of these cars
are used for business purposes and
for public conveyance, and think
how vastly they have promoted ef-
fciency and rapidity in the carry
ing of goods and passengers. The
possession of private cars is still a
prerogative Of comparative wealth
But the cost will inevitably come
down. The time is surely coming
when any man who could formerly
afford to own a horse and buggy
can have an automobile for his
family and for the transaction Of
his affairs. At present many man
ufacturers cater only to the rich
but in a little while they will all
cater to the whole people.
The time when the sight Of an
automobile awakens feelings Of
envy and prejudice is fast passing.
The world can not afford to stand
IN its own light. To do so Is to
hold back the era of mind. All these
things are the product of brain,
and mans only hope for the future
on this planet is in his brain
Every invention has met with Op-
position at the outset, They stoned
railway cars when they were first
introduced in England.
Have Opposed Progress.
Foolish workmen have smashed.
or tried to smash, at the beginning,
almost every new machine designed
to do better and more quickly the
work of human hands. but in the
end they have always found that
those same machines were the
means of their own emancipation.
The automobile has quickened
the pulses of the planet. It has
given us a clearer idea of the value
of time. 1t has freed the horse
from slavery and us from depend
ence upon enslaved muscles. It IS
showing us how far behind we have
been lingering in the development
of speed and comfort, and it fore
tells a yet brighter era when the
world will move still faster, and, in
moving faster, will live more.

n n ANS greatest invention is
MI the wheel. 1t solved the
problem of swift and easy
Iocomotion for him and rendered all
his engines possible. In the wheel
human ingenuity has departed fur
thest from natures models.
The wheel is circular leg with
an endless foot. It was one of the
earliest products of pure brain
work
We may imagine that on a fiat
surfaced planet, such as Mars ap-
pears to be, nature may possibly
have furnished animals with
wheels. But here man had to think
of that improvement for himself
Nature gave him only spokes; he
added the rim, and locomotion was
revolutionized. When you walk
you bring the ends of the spokes
one after the other upon the ground
with a great loss of time, effort and
speed. The endless foot only be-
comes effective on an even surface,
and man, almost at the beginning
of his career, had the good sense to
provide himself, first with smooth
roads, and then with trimmed legs,
or wheels.
His progress at first was slow,
but it has now become rapid. He
had the bullock cart for thousands
of years before he invented the To-
connective engine and the railroad
