THE MESSAGE.
Urges Careful Consideration of Tariff
Item By Item.

To the Senate and House of Repre-.
sentatives:
/ have called the Congress together in
extraordinary session because duty
was laid upon the party now in power
at the recent elections which it ought
10 perform promptly, in order that the
burden carried by the people under eN-
isting law may be hghtened as soon as
possible and in order also, that the bus
mess interests of the country may not
be kept too long in suspense as to what
the fiscal changes are to be to which
they will be required TO adjust them
selves. II is clear to the whole country
that the tariff duties must be altered.
They must be changed to meet the radi.
cal alteration in the conditions of our
economic life which the country has wit
messed within the last generation. While
the whole face and method of our in
dustrial and commercial life were being
changed beyond recognition the tariff
schedules have remained what they were
before the change began, or have moved
in the direction they were given when
no large circumstance of our industrial
development was what il is today. Our
task is TO square them with the actual

tanned community want some OF these wants
will best be supplied with the cooperation OF pri
yate enterprise Satisfaction OF others necessarily
will be deferred until methods to meet them can
be evolved or additional sources obtained But
it should become the citys business to have them
supplied either by public effort or private effort,
under terms and conditions that will adequately
protect the public interest
Granting these things, then-and they have
been pretty we'll established fact by the work
of the bureau-it would seem that even if city
government along constructive lines were difficult
to get it would be worth making a fight for. But
we in this country are in the position of standing
starving in the midst Of plenty for lack of the
enterprise to reach out and take what need.
Countless cities all the country, ham
pered as they are by want of codified and Access
sible traditions and presidents, have contributed
out of their dearly-bought experience improved
and tested methods of conducting city. These
methods are in practice now in these several
cities. Many more would in their turn If
sufficient interest We're aroused but even without
waiting have an embarrassment of riches
fit to our hand,
And yet, in all the United States, there is not
one governmental bureau OF information, not one
available source of finding out these things under
either state or federal government When
goes into office and is dealistc enough and en-
thusastic enough to want to fill his office well,
and with benefit to him and ii, he must write to
the bureau of municipal research here a private
agency, and ask what he may do. We are here
for that purpose, it is true. and we are working
with might and main to prepare ourselves for his
questions; but the fact remains that he should
be instructed under the authority of the govern
ment of which he is a part, and not by an indie
pendent and unofficial bureau.
Now you will begin to why we are so anx
ious that President Wilson will agree to our sug-
gestions about Washington.
There, in city already under federal control,
where local politics do not exist, and where ma
tional politics are not subject to yearly or BIZ
yearly upheavals-there is the finest kind of an
opportunity for putting theory to the test of
practice.
There is the whole machinery of federal gov
eminent to conduct a research for which we
would have to pay millions of dollars, and for
which they would not have to pay a cent and to
conduct it under men trained to observe and to
coordinate significant and important facts"

The soft wash silk shirt waist is
made more or less plain, according to
the figure that its wearer possesses.
For those who are plump the plainest
models are chosen. But shoulders are
long and so are sleeves.
The neck of these waists is finished
with turnover collar and tie. The
collar is soft and rather high at the
back. CUFFS are turned back, and link
buttons are worn with some Of them.
By the way of little frivolity, ia

smooth red-coated sweet to the thin

variety which will be sold you as
white potato in some markets Of the
south unless you ask for Irish pota-
toes. The great coarse yam that
looks like an overgrown sweet, and
sometimes weighs five or six pounds,
is not sweet potato at all. However,
1t is good substitute for the potato:
is mealy and dry, and contains a large
amount of starch. 1t is not sweet, and
is aNwholesome food, though most peo-

to properly bake sweet potato.
To Boil Sweet Potatoes-Wash the
potatoes well without breaking the
skins. Clip the roots that adhere, put
them in kettle OF boiling water and
let them cook until they can be easily
pierced to the center with a fork,
without being actually soft. Drain
off the water and set the kettle
back on the stove, or in the oven, with
a cloth thrown over the top and let
steam about five minutes, so they will
be mealy. Peel them at once, and
serve plain with roast pork or beef.
When served with fried or broiled fish,
accompany them with a drawn butter
sauce, or cut them in thick slices, but
ter well and set the dish in the oven
a few minutes.
A Fast Day Dish.-This is a popular
creole breakfast dish served on
fast days: Take rather large, smooth
potatoes, peel them and fry in round
slices and fry in deep, hot fat, same as
Saratoga chips, until fine brown.
Serve in a hot dish with plenty of
butter poured over them.
Aunt Laura's Way-Boil the pota-
toes as directed, then peel them and
cut in rather thick lengthwise slices.
Lay them in deep dish and pour over
each layer of slices a sauce made ac-
cording to these directions: Take a
cup each of sugar and butter and half
cup Of hot water and boil until this
Is thick. Some like a little grating OF
nutmeg; others a small piece Of stick

Favored vinesaaa.

Favored vinegars are welcome addi-
tons to the spring salad, One which
is useful for potato or meat salads,
which are improved by the addition OF
a little onion flavor, is made by graf
ing two large Spanish onions and let
ting them stand with two teaspoonfuls
of sugar for an hour or SO and then
adding a quart of vinegar. Bottle this
and shake the bottles every day for
couple of weeks, Their strain the
vinegar through cheesecloth and bottle
it in small bottles, corks and keep in
a cool dry place until it is wanted.
1t is better to bottle it permanently
in small bottles, so that when only a
littleDf it is wanted only little need
be uncorked.
