his foot and protects it These hoofs
would do we'll enough II the horse were
to traverse soft ground and fields all
his life; but they have to be protected
from hard roads. stones. etc.
A horse shoe can be made and fitted
in fifteen minutes. The blacksmith
takes a straight bar Of iron. thrusts 1t
into the fire, blowing the bellows vio-
lently, and makes the heat SO intense
that it turns the iron white hot
When he pulls 1t out Of the fire it Is
almost as soft as lead.
A man with heavy hammer strikes

fire again to soften 1t SO that eight
holes for the nails can be driven
through it. 1t is then nailed to the
horses hoof. The nails are put In so
that they slant to the outside. They
come to the surface without touching

OUT WITH THE DUTCH STANDARD!

Senator Bristow, who led the fight on the sugar
schedule four years ago. knows all about the Dutch
color test, written into the present tariff schedule
He understands just what advantage it gives to the
rehners and how it operates to the disadvantage of
the American producer of cane sugar. whether in
Hawaii, Porto Rico, or Louisiana.
Therefore it is impossible to believe that Senator
Bristow will assent without disagreeable pro-
test to general postponement until March, 1914,
of the effectiveness of the new sugar schedule.
There may be good excuse for postponing for that
length of time the effectiveness of the duty rates.
l. amounts to giving the domestic producers an addi-
tona year of grace, probation, of preparation for
the inevitable. On the sliding scale theory of reduc-
tons, there may be some justification for that
But to leave the vicious Dutch standard color test
in the law for an hour longer than necessary is ut
tery excuseless 1t is nothing but concession to the
refining interest of another years privilege of impos-
ing alike on the primary producer who is supposed
TO be protected and on the consumer, who pays for
that protection Whatever may be thought about the
broad public policy of highly protecting sugar pro-
duction there is justification for keeping the
Dutch standard in the law. 1t is dishonest, disn-
genuous, fake and fraud upon the public and
betrayal of the policy and intent of honest protection
Neither the free trader who honestly believes it
wrong to raise any sugar in this country, the
treme protectionst, who would have duties high
enough to force the home production of every pound
use, honestly sustain the Dutch standard pro-
vision if he understands it.
There are of course many men in Congress who do
not understand it. The personnel of both houses has
very extensively changed since the great sugar debate
cf four years ago. But men like Bristow and Cummins
do understand the Dutch standard, and capable Of
making everybody else in the Senate understand it
when the subject comes up for discussion
1t is the duty of these men to interpose and pre-
vent such concession to traditional fraud against
both the public and the domestic producer. The
Dutch standard clause should be stricken from the
law, to take effect instantly its passage. To let
the rest of the law wait till next March is merely
matter of policy To let the Dutch standard continue
in force that long is plain concession to long-es
tabliShed graft.

JUST ENLIST THE ARMY, NOW.

The agricultural college of New York is going
to issue, to qualified graduates new diploma &C
credtng them for leadership in rural life" In this
way it is hoped in time to have plenty of officers for
the rural uplft army, capable of going out and max
ing the farm lkeable that folks will just naturally
hate the thought of going to town.
If these new leaders can just find an army to lis
ten to and obey their orders, they will perform an
excellent service. 1T is suggested however that the
average farm hand getting up at 3 a. m to milk the
cows in time to have fourteen hours free for harvest
ing, and then caring for his horses, milking again,
and "choring around" an hour before bedtime, will
regard that sort of diploma as species of letters of
marque and reprisal.

need of strict international regulation is everywhere
recognized
The newspapers of this very day describe two smi-
lar situations Congress very recently passed the white
slave law, under which the -Camnetti cases in
California to be prosecuted perhaps. Nobody
read the sordd story of revolving crime back OF
those without realizing that this new law pre-
csely fits them, and makes reasonably certain that
something like adequate punishment will be meted
out Yet it is only very short while ago that there
was nothing like adequate statute for such cases.
Again, take the of Wolf Lamars amazing
tale of mpersonatng public men and carrying on
fake negotiations for the betrayal of the good name
and standing of public officials. 1t develops that
there is no law which makes that kind of thing a
crime. Senator Cumniins is introducing bill that is
expected to cover the situation Who will doubt that
such measure ought to pass? Yet who could have
foreseen, few years ago, the necessity for it?
These are just specific illustrations of how the
increasing complexty of this generations social ia
brio makes new demands on the awmaklng bodies.
Of course the most difficult and far-reachng situa-
tions those that involve the swift evolution of
economic and industrial processes changing utterly
the relationship of men to another and to the
social and industrial community 1t is not easy to be
of these cases, to meet conditions or to better
them. The more reason, then, why the men who are

A TWENTIETH CENTURY NAPOLEON.

We must 60 back to that wonderful Italian cam
paign which Napoleon led when twenty-six years of
age, if we would find compare for the magnificent
project that the Bulgarian office appears to have
undertaken in Macedonia. The Franco-German war
presents far less spectacular example of amazing
strategy, swiftness, and daring.
Bulgaria's war board apparently has adopted de-
liberately the plan of making one grand coup by
which to make Ferdinand the war lord of all Balk-

Servians and Greeks. The Greeks being held off by
comparatively unimportant force of Bulgars fight
ing and slowly falling back the of Bugar forces
is to crush Servis under series of Marteian blows.
Then, with Serva out of the way, Greece is to be
dealt with just decisivey, and this accomplished,
the victorious army of Bulgaria carrying the plan
to its last development would wheel about and crush
out the fresh undiscipned inexperienced army that
Roumania is mobilizing.
1t is the climax of grand strategy Ii reminds
once more that modern organization and impedi-
menta have not changed the essential character of
great operations. To get the enemy by surprise,
to strike hardest to guess the thing he is going to
do and forestal it, while preventing him from know
ing what you going to do and then accomplish
it-tat is the art of from Hannibal down to Fer

LAWS TO MEET CONDITIONS.

1t is rather too popular to declaim against egis-

and the State legislatures would suspend business
for few years, the country would be better off, 1t

consciousness of superiority to the legislative bodies
