DISLIKE HIGH TARIFFS
ENGLISH PEOPLE ARE AGAINST
PROTECTIVE POLICY.
Truth Is Revealed by the Futile At.
tempt Of Bonar Law to Commit
the Tory Party 10 That
View.

Certain of our self-constltuted Do
litical advisers assured US only a few
years ago that England was on the
eve OF a return to the protective policy
This interesting prediction IL contem.
Dorary with the Russian advance"
over which 50 much nowery rhetoric
was spilled. or course, It was pointed
out by others that England was not
likely to backtrack on the tariff Ques.
ton, since she could not afford the
luxury OF protective tariff. But no
such consideration had any weight
with those who we're sure that the
British government was about to take
over" the Dingley bill. Our instruct.
ors had made up their minds that the
thing was true-and, OF course, that
made 1t true.
We have had good deal OF light on
the subject In the last few days. The
leader OF the Tory party, Mr.. Law,
made speech In which he advocated
return to protectionlsm. The result
must have been astonishing to Mr..
Law Before he spoke the Liberal
party was wondering how long il
would be able to maintain It's hold on
the government. Important by-elec.
lions had gone against IT, There was
strong opposition to the home rule
bill. Lloyd-Georgeism mad angered and
disguised many. At this juncture the
Tory leader came to the rescue with
his plea for protectionism. Ii split
his own party which has been likened
TO a defeated and routed army Laws
leadership is believed to be at an end.
Even now the party is practically
without a leader, as 1t is without
policy.
And all this has come from an at
tempt to commit great party to pro-
| tectionism. The people of England
| nave listened for almost ten years to
arguments in favor of taxed food 1t
was supposed that Joseph Chamber
lain, with his scheme of imperial fed
GRAFTON, had made great Roadway. High
tariff shouters in thi3 country, as we
have seen, were sure that England had
been converted to the American
idea" Now the end has come, and
our cousins are still unconverted.
AS matter of fact, the tendency is
away from high tariffs. In Germany
the people are bitterly protesting
against the protective taxes on food
We in this country have just been
through campaign in which the tariff
was the leading issue, and on which
the people voted against high protec.
ton The demand here, as in other
lands, is for cheaper food and cloth
ing, 1t is, therefore, surprising that
a man supposed to be fit to lead a
great party, should thus set himself
against what is practically a world
opinion, and hope to win by so doing

WILL NOT THREATEN WILSON
Trust magnates Cannot Terrify Him
With Panic Talk as They Did
Roosevelt.

In 1907, the steel trust said in sub
stance to then President Roosevelt
Give us permission to break the law
and absorb our only dangerous COM
petitor, or we will turn the present
panic into a crash that will bankrupt
the country" Mr.. Roosevelt trembled
at the threat, and personally author
lied the steel trust to break the law
and take possession Of the properties
of the Tennessee Coal and Iron COM
pany at panic prices.
No trust magnate will ever dare go
to Woodrow Wilson with threat like
that. The countrys present prosperity
proves that there is no possible excuse
for a panic, and Mr.. Wilson, as presi.
dent, will see to it that no panic is
manufactured for trust purposes.

Normal Waist Lines.

There is one thing noticeable about
the new blouses, and that is that at
least nine-tenths Of them are made to
fit the normal waist. 1t seems to be
quickly coming back into fashion.
Many smart afternoon blouses are
embroidered in crystal beads or in
fine bugles and pearls. The embroi-
derry covers the front and finishes off
in a single line the uncollared neck.
The sleeves are trimmed to match. In
black ninon this blouse can be worn
over any color, and here bright emer-
aid green comes in useful, and in fact
any color can be worn under it.
White comes out rather we'll. Even
ing blouses are more elaborate, and
they are as often empire WASTED as
otherwise. All the same, the normal
waist is steadily and surely returning
to favor.

SUGGESTIVE DISHES.

Here is a new one of the old ia.
vorites:
Chill Con Carnl.-Grind through
meat chopper one and a half pounds
of beef, one and Ealf pounds of veal,
pound OF pork, and a quarter of
pound of suet Put into large ket-
tie, add quart Of tomatoes chopped
fine, six large onions minced, and
quart of chilli beans or lima beans.
Season with salt and cayenne, adding
bay leaf. Tie up in a piece of cheese
cloth two teaspoonfuls each of whole
peppers and allspice and few cloves.
Fill an eight quart kettle with water
and the mixture and cook six hours.
The longer and slower it is cooked
the better.
Hot Tamales.-This is another pop
ular recipe often called for Cover
chicken with water and stew until
tender, sailing the fowl when nearly
done Drain off the liquor, and when
and chop fine; season with paprika
and garlic to taste. Make a thick
mush of cornmeal and boiling water.
Form the seasoned meat into rolls
and incase each in the mush, making
it into long roll. Cover these rolls
with the inner husks of the corn af-
ter they have been well washed
When the tamales are all wrapped in
the husks, tie them up and return
them to the liquor in which the chick
en- was cooked; add a few red peppers
and cook fifteen minutes, drain and
send to the table. The real Mexican
tamales are highly seasoned with red
pepper.
Pear Salad.-Pears cut in halves
and garnished with balls of cream
cheese and maraschino cherries
served with French dressing, makes a
most delicious and attractive looking
| salad.

Some Attractive Gowns.

gown. A Greek aspect is given it by

midway between the waist and feet,
There is a border to this and border
on the lower skirt precisely alike, and
representing tulips rising from leaf
shaped design. A smaller form of this
embroidery borders the bodice and
the end of the kimono sleeve. The
whole is worked in pink and silver

of pink satin and silver ribbon.
