CAPITAL Comment
BY CLYDE n. TAVENNER
Congressman from the Fourteenth District.

March. 1910-showed an excess of I'M
ports OF S19,341,57S.
ANY statement as to the effects of
tariff based upon figures for six or
eight months is necessarily Elusive.
hut II the present tariff is to be judged
that way and condemned because of
the excess of imports in one month
since its passage, what shall be said
os the Payne law when in like period
after It came into effect there were
three months in which the imports ex-
ceeded exports, and in one of these
that excess was nearly double that
about which so much is now said"
The truth is, of course, that the I'm
derwood-Simmons tariff is failing to
make good the gloomy predictions of
the stand-pat republican leaders during
the tariff debate, and they are now seiz-
ing blindly upon statistics which seem
to bear out these predictions, but
which fall down when analysed. The
tariff Is working well, and when it is re-
lieved of a present handicap of tenn
porary business dullness, il will prove
to be the greatest blessing which con-
gress has given the country in recent
y ears. ANOl even llit lllOSN POI NAoesA -
republicans are attributing the pres
ena slackness in business to the tariff.
For one reason ii is worldwide. The
American situation is possibly slightly
aggravated by the pending trust legis-
lation. It is only natural that business
should mark time when a reorganiza-
ton Is pending.
To the farmer, however. the Under
wood tariff is already an unmixed
blessing. Senator Stone read an an
cerpt from a letter from prominent
farmer of Republic. Mo, who wrote:
wool is selling at 81 cents per
pound, the highest price in ten years;
frying chickens, 35 cents; old hens, 10
cents; hogs, cents on foot, and an
ordinary yearling calf brings $40 and
up; horses and mules almost out OF
sight. Manufactured goods are lower
clothing from one-fourth to one
third: hardware down some. and su-
gar $3.50 a hundred pounds-it has !
been $3.50 and 81 per hundred for |
eight or ten years. A man can sell |
hog for SIC. buy a hundred |
pounds of sugar, and have $3.50 left; |
under the republican tariff he could |
have only 50 left. Some difference, !
see?"

PRAISES FOR ALEDo FIRE
EQUIPMENT

The state fire marshal OF Illinois in
fis regular bulletin pays a compIi-
IIent to the efficiency OF the fire fight
ing equipment of AledO. He says:
illinois undoubtedly has a greater
number OF efficient. progressive and
, up-to-date fire departments than any
other city in the union. These depart
rents are taking almost as much in
terest in the matter Of fire prevention
as in the extinguishment OF fires.
Among the many such departments
that OF the little town OF Aledo. Mer-
Ger county. Illinois. has taken an adj
vanced stand along this line This
department conceived the idea that
great good could be done along this
line by interesting the citizens IN pur-
chasing and installing chemical fire
extinguishers. AS a result OF their
activity nearly 400 eKtinguishers were
distributed throughout the city OF
AIedo. the same being furnished by
the fire department at cost. The city
Of Aledo has agreed TO have these ex-
tinguishers tested and recharged once
each year by the members OF the fire
department, without cost 20 the indi-
yidual owners.

A Chinese lad dropped his ball I'm a
barrow hole and could not get it out.
SO he poured water In the hole, think,
ing that he would hoat the ball to tbs
surface. As the ball was slightly heav-
Ter than water, it remained on the bot.
tom. Then he thought OF mixing salt
with the water, as he knew that salt
water would noat denser objects than
fresh. This he did and was rewarded
with the floating ball.
This particular fact f. demonstrated
at the mouths OF rivers. Objects rolling
along the bottom OF a fresh river, too

when they are carried out to sea. The
general rule also applies TO floating
bodies. For instance, a ship with a
cargo on the sea will sink sometimes a
foot on entering n fresh water port
On the other hand. II she leaves a fresh
water port with her cargo she will rise
when entering the ocean. So a ship
may be loaded apparently too much at
a wharf and still be all right on the

water and 2 or 3 per cent mineral salts.

IN America is identical with Scotch
greats.
