RESULT OF TARIFF LAW.

Evidently cotton mill owners are not
afraid of the new tariff law. though it
greatly reduces duties on cotton goods.
Since the law went into effect the fol
lowing concerns in Massachusetts have
declared extra dividends to their
stockholders:
The Sycamore Manufacturing com
pany of Fall River has just declared
an extra cash dividend of 21E per cent
to make up full per cent rate since
1909.
The Luther Manufa curing company
of Fall River has just declared an ex-
ira cash dividend of 1S1a per cent and
a stock dividend of so per cent.
The Union Manufacturing company
of Fall River has just declared an ex-
ira cash dividend of so per cent, in
volving a distribution of 100000.
If hard times are to follow the tar
in law, the Fall River cotton mills do
not know it.

DEMOCRATS STILL VICTORIOUS

Wherever an election was held in
the United States yesterday the demo-
Gratis were in the main victorious. the
significant effect of which is that the
people are still reposing their conf
dence in the party and are pleased
with the administration of President
Wilson. In some of the states, New
Jersey and Massachusetts, the nation
al administration was the issue. and
in these two states as we'll as in all
the commonwealth where of year"
elections were held the democratic
party was upheld at the polls.
In the mayoralty election in New
York City, John Purroy Mitchell, Will
son progressive nominee and fusion
candidate swamped Tammany by 1O0,-
600. But while Tammany was being
rebuked the republicans Tegained con-
troll OF the general assembly this he
ing due to the split I'm the democratic
party through the Tammany and Sui
ger factions. The deposed governor
is sent 20 the legislature as a pro-
gressive from a Gotham district In
most OF the municipal elections in the
larger cities the democrats were tri-
umphant.
In Massachusetts where the demo-
Gratis again elected the governor. Foss,
the political turncoat and retiring ex-
ecutive, ran q sorry fourth. and his
fate affords a correct measure of the
influence and standing of democrats
of a year ago, who have forsaken the
party because OF the Wilson tariff
measure.
The elections taken in their entirety
should give the national administra-
ton much qualification and confidence,
for the people are standing by.

BRYAN ON THE BIHLE.

In Boston a few days ago Secretary
OF State w. ] Bryan delivered an ad
dress In which he said:
There never was a time when the
people needed the inspiration of the
bible more than they do at the present
Gay. And there Is not a community
which cannot be purified, redeemed
and improved by a better knowledge
and larger application of the bible IN
their daily life. No money that is in
vested pays SO large a dividend as
that spent in the moral uplift of the
community.
= am inclined to believe that we
have overeslimated the value OF men,
tai training and underestimated the
value OF the hearts development. A
good heart can use a very dull mind
and make that mind serviceable to
society, but bad heart cannot make
ase of mind, however brilliant
Not only is this sound advice and
well worth being followed by all man.
kind, but the picture presented OF a
man SO prominent in politics and Of
hcaal life urging biblical Inspiration in
our daily lives is itself an inspiration.

ment is more than s12 In 1900 it was
IS; in 1890 it was only Sc. The in
crease has been largely due to the in
creased cost OF preparations for war.
Because of these figures, the resolu-
ton introduced by Representative
Hensley of Missouri is certain to re-
ceive serious consideration by the
house when the regular session of con-
gress convenes in December. This
resolution endorses the plan of Win
ston Churchill of England for a naval
holiday" of one year, during which
period all the great powers shall rest
from the construction of battleships.
The willingness of the peopie (for
congress only reflects the popular will
in this respect TO vote these huge
war sums annually, is due principally
TO fear of war-a fear largely foment-
ed and kept up by those who benefit
from the sale of war supplies to the
government. When these annual
war scares'' appear. it would be in
teresting to know what part the pow
der trust, the armor plate trust and
the manufacturers of ordnance play
in the spread of war talk.
The policy of maintaining this ma
ton on strong war footing was crit
icised during the preliminary debate
on the Hensley resolution by Speaker
Champ Clark, who said:
In my Louisville speech l said that
this scheme of great ornaments was
:he most idiotic performance known
among men. And we, of all men, are
the greatest idiots to be engaged in it,
because on account of our peculiar
and favorable geographic situation
and our immense wealth and tremen-
dous population no nation On the face
of the earth is going to jump on US;
or, if it does, it will jump off very
suddenly.
1T is the strangest thing that NOR
tai man ever heard that when we had
100000 people and 100000 people
and 100000 people and 100000
people. and so on clear up, we were
not afraid of anybody on the face of
the earth. and nobody jumped on US
it is a historical fact that we forced
every war we ever had But now,
when we have 100000, 900 people and
$4,000, 100000 of wealth. lot of peo-
pie are going around the country and
trying to scare us by the assertions
that somebody is going to jump on u.s.
