A Full Tariff Debate.

Regardless of the currency question,
let the tariff debate proceed leisurely
and in order. The final vote should not
be hurried. No matter If the demo-
cratic support cannot be broken. No
matter If democratic senator's remain
silent under prodding. No matter II
the Presidents grip on the situation
grows stronger than ever. The pro-
tectionists should develop their case
fully as to every schedule and rate of
duty In the Underwood bill. Now Is
the time for such work.
If the revision now under discussion
is constructed on mistaken lines it will
fail In operation and be promptly re-
pudiated at the polls Such was the
fate of the German Wilson revision of
nineteen years ago, and such will be
the fate of this revision If 1t does not
produce sufficient revenue, or if bust
ness languiShes under 1t. The govern
ment must be supported, and both
capital and labor must find profitable
employment. A tariff law is expected
to accomplish both of those things.
If, on the other hand, events show
that the democrats have the right of
the matter; If the Underwood revision
produces sufficient revenue and bust
ness fourishes under 1t, the measure
will prove the foundation for much
future tariff building. If the people are
provided with a better system of taxa
ton than they have hitherto had they
viii not abandon it. They know
good thing when they see 1t perform;
and what brings and maintains pros
perity appeals to them.
1t was for this reason that protec-
.ion-not as a mere incident, but as
definite object-had a long run. 1t
supported the government literally,
and it encouraged the growth of bust
ness And 1t was not repudiated at the
polls last year, but fell as the result
of a family quarrel among it's friends.
produced IN part by other matters.
But protection is now under chal-
!enge and q revision of the tariff. con-
fessedly as the first step toward the
destruction of that policy, nears enact
ment into law. The democrats con-
tend that, whatever of good protec-
tlon may have done under other con-
dttions, present conditions demand a
policy leading to the rejection of pro-
lection in the national scheme of taxa
ton.
The country should have all the light
available on this change. 1t is not SO
much to the point that Mr.. La Toilette
and Mr.. Smoot differ as to rates of duty
on wool and woolens. Both are pro-
tectionists, and as such oppose what is
presented in that and other schedules
OF the democratic measure.

Superabundance.

When your troubles you're relating
In a tone that's all severe.
You will find nobody waiting
Your remarks to overhear.
You may think them worth attending
AS YOU seek to make them known.
But your friends no heed are lending
They have troubles of their own.
If your moods are acrobatic
Or you hit a comic style
Or develop thoughts erratlc,
They may greet you with smile.
But it's all a different matter
If you seek to heave a sigh,
The demand for hard-luck chatter
Never equals the supply.

References were made to the
streak of melancholy in the nature
of the martyred president; to the
abuse that was heaped upon him in
his life. The speaker believed Lin
c)ln would have spared this country
try from it's blackest chapter-the
story of the reconstruction period.
DR.. Sparks based his statement on
the fact that Lincoln had always
favored compensated emancipation,
referring to his earnestness in Sc
curing the passage of bill in Con-
gress whereby the Union would buy
the slaves Of any state; Of his ex-
clamation to congressman-"If
only one state-if only Kentucky
could be induced to take advantage
of it," In the last speech ever de-
livered Lincoln declared that a
controversy at that time as to the
status Of the southern states could
have no other effect than the mis-.
chievous one of dividing friends
"the seeded States, so called he
said, ''are out of their proper re
lation with the Union, and the sole
object Of the government, civil anC

is to get them into proper practica

NEW PUBLICATION
FOR ENGINEERS
DR.. Sypherd's Handbook Of
English Appreciated

DR.. Sypherd's new book, "a
Handbook of English for Engi-
neers, " has just reached us. It's
neat binding of limp leather and its
attractive typographical appear
ance make at once pleasing I'M
preston. The book, which as the
author tells us, is a new venture in
the field of English composition, is
designed primarily to meet the
needs of advanced engineering stu
dents and of young engineers in ac-
tual practice. The reasons for the
publication Of this book may be
briefly summarized:
l Acknowledged weakness in
English technical school graduates.
2 Failure Of the usual under
graduate course in advanced COM
position to overcome this deficiency
(a) Because Of lack Of interest
of students in such a course
CD Demand on the time Of the
student for purely technical work.
3 Need Of specific instruction in
writing on matters connected with
engineering.
4 The usefulness of such hand
book to engineers practicing their
profession;
(a) Models of business letters
reports, articles for journals, etc
(b) Good usage as to punctua,
ton, authorizations, use of hyphens
etc.
For students in engineering
course, the whole book will be ser
viceable for purposes Of anal lysis
and for suggestions for the writer
work which they have to do in con
nection with their technical work
for practical engineers, probably
the most. important part is th'
treatment of business letters ant
reports. Chapter III contains
specimens of letters Of application
letters of inquiry, letters of invita-
ton, etc. Chapter " contain
specimens of reports on a labora
tory experiment or test, reports OF
inspection work, periodic reports
and general engineering reports.
Congratulations are surely in or
