EVENING CHAT
Too Busy to Be Healthy.
Rx Rura CAMERON.

A hard working young business man
was driven to his doctor by a bad case of
indigestion. Instead of medicine the doc
tor Prescribed a set of exercises to be
taken five or six times day. The bust
ness man took them six times the first
day, three times the second, remembered
them once or twice lite next two days and
then completely forgot them for the next
ten. At the end of that tlrIe he came
back to the doctors office with more
violent attack of his trouble.

busy to eat
Cold bites gobbled at his desk when he
needed a hearty hot meal, and prolonged
fasts when he was too busy Tor even that
cold bite, have been the order of the day
for twelve years. What wonder that his
stomach finally became too busy making
trouble to have time to work for him.

busy to be as efficient as he should be.

THE BIG NOISE.

1t seems to be impossible to accom-
plish anything worth while in this
country without a large amount Of
noise With plenty of law covering the
case it seems that those agents of the
white slave" traffic, who have been
sent to prison in New York, might have
been punished long before they were.
However ignorant the general public
may have been, the officers of the law
must have been fully cognizant of what
was going on. Why, then, was it
necessary to appoint committees, in
stitute invest atoms and fill the COL
unns of the newspapers with stories
of the conditions in order to accom-
plish anything in the way of arrests
and punishment.
The backing of public sentiment may
be necessary, in some measure, to the
enforcement of a law but it is not re-
quired in order to make an effort in
that direction.
1t seems that the people must be
aroused b, ore a needed law can be
placed on the statute book and then
they must be stirred up again before
it can be put into operation.
Everybody knows that there has been
lobby in and about the halls of con-
gress for many years. Nobody has
known it better than the members of
the senate, yet it has required vigorous
prodding by the president of the United
States and b. the press to start a
movement toward it's elimination. Fol-
lowing the usual course probably we
shall have tn. investigation; then the
law; then another crusade to get it
enforced.
Why must We always have the big
noise?

A MUCH NEEDED CHANGE.

1t has long been customary for some
member of congress during each ses-
sion to introduce a resolution provid-
ing for a constitutional amendment
which would change the date of the
presidential Inauguration and the as
sembling of the national legislature.
Early in the present session that office
was performed by Senator John F.
Shafroth of Colorado. The proposed
amendment fixes the date of the first
of these ceremonies on the second
Monday in January and the second on
the first Monday of the same month.
The senator's reasons for the change
must appeal strongly to the public,
even though they may have no effect
on congress. In the Record they are
set forth as follows, in part:
Under the present system congress
is elected on the first Tuesday in No
vember of the even years, and does
not convene in regular session until
the first Monday of December of the
year following. What travesty upon
representative government is the
meeting of congress Is months after
its electioni What a delusion is the
statement that representatives come
fresh from the peoplei What an OPP
portunity is afforded to forget the
pledges made at the election! 1t is
true an extraordinary session may be
called early, but such sessions are
limited generally to one subject, which
of necessity makes enormous waste of
the time of each house in waiting for
the other to consider and pass the
measure. 1t is essential to good gov
eminent that the expressed will of the
people be crystallized into law at the
earlist practical moment.
The terms of office of senators and
representatives expire on the Sd day
of March, and now the second regular
session is held during the three
months Immediately preceding. This
second regular session is held after
the election of the new congress and
after many of its members have been
repudiated by the people. To permit
such senators and representatives,
after they have failed of election, to
still represent their constituents is
contrary to every principle of our
government.
Often there is a complete political
change of administration, but under
the present system we have the repre-
sentativeS of the old political party for
three months after defeat passing
laws directly in conflict with the last
expressed will of the people. Not even
the legislative bodies of monarchies
are permitted to so misrepresent their
constituents. An examination of the
statutes at large will disclose that out

It's a mighty good thing, now and

and find some other soil from which

He lifts himself by the bootstraps, thus
giving the lie to the law of gravitation
and the superstition concerning the
excellence of the oldest families
meaning by that term, of course, the
family that has remained in one place
so long that it has begun to degen-
crate. The colonizing nations of the
world are the strongeSt-the strongest
because they send their sons abroad
to gather new strength from new soils,
knowing that they will return in sufn-
cient numbers to add strength to the
ranks of the stay-at-homes.
America is great because her soil
is still new; England and Germany
are pre-eminent because their sons
are seeking and finding new soil in
the ends of the earth. English fami-
lies, in particular, retain their red
blooded efficiency longer than others
for the reason that the younger gen.

giles. Among the exceptions are 1r1Sh-
men and Scotchmen, who have trans

America is a living example of the
wisdom of change of soil. The best

There are a good many Americans
who have lived too long in their par

old family that clings too closely to
its home and sends it's sons forth
only at infrequent intervals is likely
to degenerate. Rotation of crops is
quite as important to the human race
as it is to the vegetable kingdom.
The time comes to many men when
they can no longer thrive in the place
where they live. They need the slim
ulation of new surroundings, the
viewpoint of new neighbors, the sus-
tenance of new soil. When you find
yourself going backward it's time to
make a change. The results of trans

ture. If you're no longer making
good, pull yourself up by the roots and

COMING TARIFF CHANGES.

Those persons whose business will
be affected by the proposed tariff
changes certainly are being afforded
ample time in which to prepare for
the new schedules. There is no ap-
parent reason why there should be
any disturbance to trade. 1t will be
recalled that there was much oppo-
sition to the placing of hides on the
free list in a previous tariff enact
ment. The free admission of hides
was to prove ruinous to the American
farmer, but the farmer never noticed
the difference. The price of cattle
has moved steadily upward.
The import trade in hides and skins
has assumed enormous proportions,
the total value of the shipments in
1912 being considerably over $780,
100000.
The total value of the imports of
animal origin in 1912 was $203,444,-
633. Compared with the previous
year this is an increase, in round fig
ures, of no less than S60,500,000. The
greatest single increase occurred in
cattle hides, which almost doubled.
while all the other classes of hides
and skins showed substantial ad-
vances.
The second largest increase was in
wool, the quantity imported in 1912
being 23S,11s,350 pounds, valued at
$42,210,377, as against 1855, 922,5 SO
pounds, valued at s25,47e,422, in 1911.
A country which is compelled to
import so large an amount of wool
certainly should find something in its
place to tax. An industry which falls
SO far short of supplying the home de-
mand, after years of protection, as
does the wool industry. has little
claim to extended favor.
