How to Meet DiscOuragements.
BY Mahlon H. Day

-
Suffering is a part of every
life. Pain Of body, distress Of
mind and agony Of spirit come
to all alike. What is true Of all
other life is true Of the Chris
an life. There is something in
the very nature Of things that
makes true the words Of Paul,
"all that would live Cody in
Christ Jesus shall suffer" as
there is that makes true the
words Of Jesus, IF any man
VIC Id come after me, let him
DEFY himself, ana take up his
cross and follow me-"
We do not know why God per-
mits suffering to come to US, but
we do know that if it is borne
in the right spirit it issues IN
a type of character never found
where it is absent. Abraham
Lincoln is to US what he is be-
cause of the burdens and respon-
sibilities that he bore. We are
told in Heb. 2:10 that it pleased
Him TO make the author Of or

Wrought silk was brought from
Persia to Greece in 325 B. G. It was
lnown in Rome at the time Of Til
ierius., when the senate prohibited
he use Of plate Of massive gold, and
forbade men to debase themselves by
wearing silk, fit only for women.
Heliogabalus first wore a garment OF
silk in 800 A. D. Silk was at first
of the same value with gold, weight
for weight, and was belieyed.to grow
on trees. Silkworms we're brought
from India to Europe in the sixth
century. Charlemagne sent Ola, king
of Mercia, a gift of two silk vests.
The manufacture was encouraged by
Roger, king Of Sicily at Palermo,
when the Sicilians not only bred the
silkworms, but spun and wove the
silk. The manufacture spread into
Italy and Spain, and also into the
south Of France a little before the
reign Of Francis l., about 1510i and
Henry propagated mulberry trees

MccUM6ER ON THE TARIFF.

Senator McCumber, comments The
Minneapolis Journal, speaking in the
senate for the agricultural interests.
declared that 1t took the farmer six
teen years to forget the last demo-
cratic tariff, and predicted that the
farmer would need as much time to
forget the n that is coming.
Senator McCumber was perhaps q
;trif1e over partizan in finding a. DELHI
crate intention of the democratic par
ty to punish the farmer. But what
1t does, through ignorance, to the ag-
rlcultural interest hurts about as much
as though there were a studied inten-
ton to do the farmer up.
The democrats make great claims of
friendship for the farmer, because thew
have put farm machinery on the free
dist. What a rarce, when there Is NOT
an agricultural country in the world
but Is buying American-made farm
machinery! The benefits to the farm
er are thus manifestly on paper, while
the cuts in his protection are real.
h the farmer for the first time
In a generation has seer prices that
enable him to get his head above wat
er, he is commanded to let go. to re-
turn to tho old non-remuneratfve pric-
es. Much better it would be, Senator
McCumber argues, to reduce our liquor
bill, III tobacco bill, our candy bin.
Il amusement bill.
These statements are true. It would
be much better. Our high cost of liv-
ing manifests itself too greatly in Inv
aries. But the puzzle is how to COM
pei people to quit liquor. moderate on
tobacco and let up on sweets to some
extent. Senator McCumber does NOT
tell us. He merely points out, what
as already obvious, hat it would he
better for the people to do so.
Meanwhile his proposition that the
farmer is getting the worst of his
tariff must stand.

THURSDAY, JULY II, 1918.
SAVE THE BIRDS.

There is a c~ommendable clause ir
the Underwood tariff bill adopted al
the instance Of the American Audi
bon society. Its purpose is for the
protection Of birds.
This clause, a. adopted by the house,
prohibited the importation of feathers
or any other parts of wild birds. ex-
cept for scientific or educational pur-
poses. From the provision were ex-
cepted feathers of ostriches and
domestic fowl.
The passage of this paragraph
would prove of inestimable value in
protecting American wild bird life as
well as that of other countries. The
millinery trade now gets most of it's
feathers from abroad and if this
PURGE of supply were cut off the use
of plumage on feminine headgear
would speedily go out Of fashion.
Even more, the domestic feathers now
used and marked imported" in the
effort to eVade state regulations, would
no longer be marketable.
When the Underwood bill came out
of the senate finance committee there
was a joker in it-and right in this
very clause. Added to it had been
supplemented a phrase which granted
the option of Feathers or plumes of
birds commercially recognized as
edible or pestiferous."
That is one of the jokers that has
been found in the tariff bill. Prob
ably others will be discovered as the
bill is examined, but this should not
be allowed to slip through. The Audu-
bon societies should not be found
sleeping at the switch.
1t looks harmless but as a matter
of fact nearly every important bird
species is considered edible" or pes
tiferous" in some neighborhood or
other. The senate amendment would
virtually nullify the whole purpose of
the provision. And the effort of the
American Audubon society to protect
wild bird life from determination
would prove futile.

Herbert Knox Smiths reminder to the
Newport Progressive conference, and
to the country at large, that consery-
alton, in its largest sense, remains a
live and vital political issue, will be
welcomed by all thoughtful students Of
the economic situation.
The fight for conservation is not
Won because certain useful restric-
tons have been attached to the dispo-
sition of public lands. If these had
been legalized n enforced a genera
ton or W ago the assets of the pub

the past shall be made to count for
anything like it's true value. The loose
must be gathered up under state
as We'll as under government author
1ty, n there must be on the subject
an established policy as distinct and
clear as any ever enunciated for the
guidance of the people.
Federal ownership of natural re-
sources is advocated by Mr.. Smith,
and there does not appear to be any
other way in which those
be safely held in trust for the
people. There will be little dissent at
this late day, from his proposal that
the federal authority shall lease to re-
sponsible persons in such parcels and
such conditions as to insure |
their proper use. The only important
question remaining to be settled is to
what extent the federal authority shall |
entrusted with the management OF !
the natural The rational |
answer to this is hat these resources
should be regained from private own
ership and placed under federal con-
trol as rapidly as possible. The pro-
cess, no doubt, must be gradual, but
t should be put into operation with
)ut delay and continued until the peo-
Die shall have come completely into
