Congress could have provided for
the termination of these trade
treaties. had it so desired. as each
one contains provision for its ter.

will of either party But Congress
now adds a proyiso declaring that
nothing in the subsection shall be
construed as modifying or termi-
mating the terms of any treaty now
in force. Il Mr. Moore correctly
understands the attitude of foreign
governments with which we now
have such treaties. they will not

object, why should certain of their
superserviceable and Overzealous
newspaper partisans in this coun.
try object?
Conforming to Treaties.
Foreign maritime nations natur.
ally do not wish the United States
to increase its oversee shipping.
Foreign ships have greater oppor.
tunities, as things now are, in our
foreign trade, and foreign nations
are able to increase their naval re.

eXpedients, foreign nations have

guarantee to our ships and the

ment to that accorded their own
vessels in their own ports The
United States has neither objected
nor retaliated, although these ev.
pedients have driven American
ships out of the foreisn-carrying
trade of the United States.
If, therefore, the United States
sees fit to partly revitalize naviga-
ton laws that have been upon our
statutes since 1889. although sus.
pended for one-half that time. scru-
pulously conforming, however, to
all Of our treaty obligations, who
can reasonably object?
If, later. this nation sees fit to
terminate the trade treaties under
which the ships of foreign nations
and the goods they carry enjoy
equality Of treatment in our ports
to that which our laws accord our
own vessels, can there be reason
able objection to such action?
We repeat, all of these treaties
provide for their termination at the
will of either of the parties thereto.
AS these treaties must be termi.
mated before this country can &C
cord preferential treatment to It's
own vessels alone, in it's foreign
trade, and as only by limiting such
preference to our own vessels and
their goods shall we be able 10
build up a great American meT~
chant marine in foreign trade, II
is to be expected that the termina-
tion of these trade treaties will bs

of building up American shipping
in foreign trade.

In their national platforms dur
ing the past decade Democrats
have declared in favor of the res
toration of the old preferential
policy
Not until this year, however
have Democrats had opportunity to
restore that old and successful pol
icy But, in the new tariff bill as
it passed the House. provision was
made as follows:

The United States began. in
1915, to gradually suspend the OPP
Grafton of the preferential policy
in favor of American vessels, and
from time to time entered into
trade treaties with other nations
by which it agreed to accord equal
treatment to the ships of such ma
tions and the goods they carried
as in our own ports we accord to
our own So, when the above sec
ton appeared in the new tariff
bill, the attention of our State De
partment was called to these trade
treaties by several of the score of
nations with which we have trea-
ties, and, responding to request
from the Treasury Department for
an opinion. Mr. J. B. Moore. cOun-

HoaD to Make the Best
Cough Remedy at Home
A Family supply at Small Cost,
and Fully Guaranteed.

Make a plain syrup by mixing one
pint of granulated sugar and n pint Of
warm water and stir for minutes.
Put 21a ounces of pure Pinex fifty
cents WORTH in a pint bottle, and fill it
up with the Sugar Syrup. This gives
YOU a family supply of the best cough
syrup at a saving of 81. 1t never spoils.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
The effectiveness of this simple remedy
is surprising. 1t seems to take hold al
most instantly, and viii usually con-
quer an ordinary cough in "a hours.
1t tones up the iaded appetite and is
Just laxative enough to be helpful in
cough, and has pleasing taste.
Also excellent for bronchial trouble,
bronchial asthma, whooping cough and
spasmodic Group.
This method of making cough remedy
with Pinex and Sugar Syrup (or
strained honey is now used in more
homes than any oher cough syrup.
This explains why it is often initiated,
though never successfully. If you try
it, use only genuine Pinex, which is a
most valuable concentrated compound
of Norway white pine extract, and is
rich in guaiacol and other natural
healing pine elements. Other prepara-
tions will not work in this combination.
A guaranty of absolute satisfaction,
or money promptly refunded, goes with
this preparation. Your druggist has
Pinex, or will get it for you. If not,
send to The Pinex Co., Ft. Wayne, Ind.

Bay States New Drug Law.

The new drug law giving sweeping
powers to the state board of phar-
macy, which goes into effect Jan. /,
is an excellent piece of constructive
legislation. II is a distinct aid to
the reputable dTdggist in his business.
1t works injury only to those who ply
a nefarious traffic under the guise of
a respectable trade. To these the new
law means determination, for the
board may revoke any license for
cause, and no druggist can continue
In business thereafter.
II has been shamelessly apparent
that many of the smaller outlying
suburbs, no-license on election day,
have been the happy hunting grounds
for the druggist" whose liquor ac-
tivities were his chief stock in trade.
In many towns the only impediment
to securing stimulants is not being
known" but nowhere is ''old ac-
quaintance" more readily assumed.

necessity and practicability of nom
partisan policy in local affairs.
And there may be method, not un-
akin to political astuteness in this
view Of the case. The. Democratic
picnic which has been going on in
this town some eight years with the
Democrats contributing nothing yet
consuming everything is declining In
popular interest and support and If
ii is TO be maintained some new pre-
tense must be invented to commend
1t TO popular support.
For Mayor Newbert to run again on
the Democratic ticket won't do. That's
partisanship of the branch which he
is desirous of getting rid of at any
cost, saving himself.
In all projects for disarmament the
proponent should set the example by
first disarming himself as evidence of
good faith.
Now, will Mayor Newbert as
the exponent of a new policy in city
affairs which calls for new align
ment as we'll as additional funds for
its development, stand forth as an
independent candidate for mayor or
not?
The old established forms of politi-
cal action are we'll enough for pro-
test, but for affirmation Q new
policy which contemplates enlarged ex-
penditures a wider appeal to the cleo
torate appears to be in better form.
Mayor Noyes thought we had reach
ed the limit of local assessment in a
tax rate of .024s5.
Tho rate this wear Is 026 with q
prospect of going mill or two higher
and the authors of this new policy
should not be hemmed in by party
lines in seeking popular support for
it. inasmuch as some Democrats are
in revolt against it. An appeal to
the people is the appropriate mode OF
action and an Independent nornina-
tior is the honest preliminary to 1t.
Are we to have it? w.
