will rebuke the party which thus in
lures them. And what is true of po-
tatoes and sardines is true of almost
every industry in which the American
people are engaged.
| II would also seem to be manifest
that the Republicans, when fully real
izing that the Democratic victory was
due only to a serious division in their
party, will get together to put an end
to Democratic control. The Progress
sive vote in the Maine district dwin-
died to one-half of its strength last
November while the straight out Re-
publican vote increased 100 per cent.
1t is evident, therefore, that the Dem
ocrats cannot afford to rely upon con-
tinued Republican division. The people,
more independent and better educated
than ever, cannot be misled. They are
able to Judge for themselves. They
are going TO decide whether radical
tariff reductions are good for the coun-
try, and they will not further leopard
ize prosperity by following will-o'-the-
wisps in politics The Progressives
have nothing to offer save a continu-
ance Of the Democratic party in power,
and, so far as the Maine district was
concerned, the prospect was not pleas
ing.
1t is remarkable how quickly a
changing public sentiment will turn the
defeat of yesterday into a victory to-
day. Who would have supposed that
in district where only 1000 Republic
an votes were cast last fall, and which
gave Wilson a plurality, there would
be, in the brief period of ten months,
such reversal OF political opinion?
The result has surprised everybody
the Democrats because they lost, the
Republicans because they won, the
Progressives because their following
has almost disappeared. 1t means that
the Republicans will imbibe new cour-
age and the Democrats will realize
that they have a fight on their hands
to save the next House. As for the
Progressive organization, it seems des-
tined to meet the fate of all third par
ties.
After the tariff bill will come the
currency legislation which President
Wilson is determined to pass. This is
another two-edged sword. 1t may
hurt the Democrats more than it will |
help. There is already enough criti-
cism and opposition to cause some
anxiety and this, coupled with the in
dex OF the Maine election, makes the
Democratic position anything but Sc
cure.

The Tariff Bill.

To all practical intents and purposes
the Underwood Simmons tariff bill is
ready TO so into operation as the fiscal
law Of the land. After one month in
the House and four months in the
Senate, it is ready for a conference
which will have only friendly differ
cnces to consider.
The Democrats came into power on
the tariff issue. They came in on a
pledge 10 revise the tariff downward,
and all along the line-that is-to cut
out special privileges. That they have
revised the tariff downward, none will
question. The bill is the lowest sue
cc>>iul tariff measure since the civil
war.
That they have revised it honestly
that they have cut out, to marked
degree. special privilege, none has
questioned seriously in the debate in
either House.
President Wilson and the progress
>ivc leaders Of his party have acted
with marked courage in their tariff
course. and this fact, recognized
throughout the country, will insure
G., the new law a faircr trial than il
otherwise might expect.
Only time can tell whether or not
the bill IS a wise one, but the people
themselves, largely regardless Of par
ti>an concern, will be the judges. and
chry will be grateful to the Demo-
cratic leaders for presenting, through
an honest bill. a cIean-cut issue be-
ivrrn low tariff and high tariff eco
u"mc policies.

ROUGHING 1T
By GEORGE FITCH,
Author of GAt Good Old SIwaah.o

Roughing it consists OF going back to
nature and standing up before her for a
few rounds without gloves.
In the early days a man could step
outside his cabin door into the woods
and come home three hours later with
four arrows and a bear scratch. 1t was
easy to rough it then. Now it is more
difficult. Only prosperous men can anord

Nowadays when a man desires 10

canoe, a SIS silk tent, frying pan, some
bacon and sack of flour. Then he buys

snuggles up AGAINST nature as close as
the mosquitoes will permit.
