of these 56 is $25 a day in ho- tel bills, meals and automobile
 hire. This makes the average
 daily ordinary living expens-
 es' of the colony $1, 400 per day.
 Figuring on this basis media tion in the Mexican trouble has
 cost $39,200. But war for the
 same length of time would have cost far more, not to mention
 casualties.
 1 This does not, of course, irl- clude the salaries of clerks and the various secretaries of the three mediators, the American and Mexican delegation. There lis also the inestimable amount spent in telegraph tolls by the newspapers; the cost of trans hitting long code messages be- tween the Prospect House and Washington; similar messages received and sent from Mexico City and the communication the mediators have with their own countries. But mediating is a great little sport with no time for thought as to expens- es. The following is the genec- al scheme of mediation as fol- lowed at Niagara Falls:
 At II o'clock each morning Da Cana of Brazil, Naon, of Argentina and Suarez, of Chili, go to their conference room. There is no set schedule for the holding of conversations with the Mexican or American delegates. Sometimes an en- gagement may be made in ad- vance, but not often. After gathering in the conference room and automatically discuss ing the carpet on the floor or the weather, the Mexicans or Americans may be invited to ap- pear to ask that they be heard. If it is the Americans who are to be heard, the State Depart ment chauffeur is aroused from the rear seat of his machine and he rolls up in front of the Pros pect House. Justice Lamar, Frederick w. Lehman and their secretary H. Percival Dodge, followed by Robert F. Rose, ponderous representative of the State Department, enter.
 The car progresses from the Prospect House to the Bridge,
Newport daily independent., 1914-06-18

1 where the envoys, Dodge, Rose and the chauffeur pay ten cents each to pass on to Canada. The car circles the Clifton Hotel across the river the falls are roaring and glistening in the sunlight. Stopping at the door the mediation delegates alight, Automatically and with great dignity. Judge Lehman, how ever, can't suppress a laugh and so he laughs. Newspapermen greet the delegation and learn nothing. They enter the elevat- or, ascend to the conference room, the doors are closed and mediation is on.
 The secret service guard at two men, but whenever a con- versation is in progress a pair of the Kings sleuths pace back and forth before the door. They march solemnly and with digni- ty befitting the occasion. Af- ter a time the American dele gates come down the stairs. Justice Lamar may or may not have something to say. He is extremely careful of every word he uses. He talks slowly and with extreme caution. When he is thorugh the job of the newspaper men is to decide what he meant.
 Justice Lamar compares the work of the correspondents here to fishing in a bath tub. When there are no develop n1ents, he will say: ]
 Now, there really are no fish in this tub. There is nothing to say"
 At other times he will de- clare:
 There are fish in the tub this time all right, but I can't tell you what they are" Interview ed alone the Justice is very pleasant. It seems actually painful to him sometimes when he cannot answer questions ask ed him.
 When the Mexicans confer with the mediators they do not cause as much fuss about the hotel as the Americans. Hav- ing their rooms on the same floor as the conference room, they slip in or out without at tracing any attention.

I A splendid example OF how a coun-

AFFORDED by Germany. The German
government has expended great sums
Tor the construction of fish harbors
at Geestemunde, Bmden, Cuxhaven,
and other ports. To encourage her.
ring production bounty was paid for
the construction and equipment of
each sailing vessel used for that pur-a
pose, and all fishing vessels were ex-
.empted from the payment OF tonnage
dues. AS result Of these measures
the number OF sailing luggers In that
country engaged In fishing increased
between 1893 and 1903 from 101 to-,
100.
To facilitate the distribution of her
increased catch, Germany has made
special rates for the shipment az Ash
inland, sending them by express
freight at regular freight rates,
which is a deduction Of about 100
per cent The fastest trains are used
for the shipment OF fish, SO that they

Dunnett and the Tariff.

He (Dunnett) scores Taft for his
moderate tariff views, though the
/ great mistake Taft made was in not
vetoing the Payne-Aldrich bill, which
/ failed to revise the tariff downward
as the national platform-misunder-
stood by Mr.. Dunnett-plainly prom
| ised. This country wants reason
able protective tariff, but not one
modelled after Mr.. Dunnett's views,
we fear.-Herald and News.
Editor Johnson evidently has for
gotten the republican platform on
which Mr. Taft was elected presi-
dent. For the benefit of him and
others we produce the tariff plank
in the national republican platform
of 1908.
protection which guards and de-
velops our industries is a cardinal
policy of the Republican party. The
measure of protection should always
at least equal the difference in the
cost of production at home and
abroad. We insist upon the main
tenance of the principles of protec-
ton, and therefore rates of duty
should be readjusted only when con-
ditions have so changed that the
public interest demands their altera-
ton, but this work cannot safely be
committed to any other hands than
those of the Republican party, To
intrust it to the Democratic party
is to invite disaster.
Whether, as in 1892, the Demo
cratic party declared the protective
tariff unconstitutional, or whether it
demands tariff reform or tariff re-
vision, its real object is always the
destruction of the protective system.
However specious the name, the pur-
pose is ever the same. A Democratic
tariff has always been followed by
business adversely; a republican tar
iff by business prosperity. To re-
publican congress and a republican
president this great question can be
safely intrusted. When the only
free trade country among the great
nations agitates a return to protec-
ton the chief protective country
should not falter in maintaining it.
We fail to note any reduction
plainly promised and wonder if any
better or stronger protective tariff
plank has been placed before the
people. Mr.. Dunnett's kind of a
tariff may not be so distasteful when
you come to see what it really is.

someone "seein, Things., .

The Orleans County Monitor ap-
peared in red war paint last week
against 1.-THE very apparent triple al
lance in the Republican party of
Vermont. Clement-Dillingham
nett" 1t gives as conclusive evidence
OF the alliance these statements:
Mr.. Clements paper. the Rutland
Herald, early came out for Dilling-
ham and last week approved in lau-
datory terms the candidacy of Mr..
Dunnett.
That Dunnett is for Dillingham;
has been made plain to those in con-
versation with Mr.. Dunnett. That
Mr.. Dillingham; favors Clement and
Dunnett goes without saying"
THAT Mr.. Dillingham; favors
Clement and Dunnett" will have to
go without saying" if truth is to
be spoken. Sen. Dillingham;
county will undoubtedly send a solid
delegation in support of John w. Cor
don for congress which will not be
much help to Mr.. Dunnett. There
is no evidence whatever that Sen.
Dillingham; favors or is promoting
in any way the candidacy of Mr..
Clement for the governorship. Mr..
Dunnett will not be found involved
in the senatorial fight in any way.
As for Mr.. Clement it is true that
his paper favors the reelection of
Sen. Dillingham; and has spoken i'll
favorable terms of Mr.. Dunnett. But
ii did so without promise or init
nation of support of these men in
his candidacy. In fact Mr. Clement
had not decided to become a candi-
date for the governorship when his
paper announced its support of Mr..
Dillingham;.
The evidence of the Monitor is
not conclusive. 1t is no evidence at
all. If it is anything it is the vapor-
ings of Porter H. Dale, who has been
"seein' things" of late. Neither Sen.
Dillingham; nor Mr.. Clement has had
a word with Mr.. Dunnett. The weak
ness of Mr.. Dale's candidacy is
shown by the baseless charge he and
his supporters are making against
Mr.. Dunnett.

A Pro German View.

Prof John w. Burgess, a native of
England, for many years a student
and instructor in German universe
ties and a professor for many years
at Columbia, has written a long let
ter to the Springfield Republican re-
garding the European conflict. He
states that Germany stands in the
path of the pan slavic policy" of
Russia, the "revanche policy" of
France and the bitter hostility of
England, its great competitor in
world industry. He tells of being a
guest of the German emperor at din
ner in 1907, just after the success
full arbitration by Pres. Roosevelt
between Russia and Japan and of
the concern the Germans felt at that
time because Russian activity in
Asia had been checked and would be
turned back on Europe. The increas-
ing hostility Of France and England
toward Germany was also deplored
at that time. Prof. Burgess then re-
lates the developments from that
time which tend to show that Ger
many was virtually forced into the
present war to protect itself from
Russia, France and England.
Prof. Burgess in discussing the
outcome Of the war says:
1.-The triumph of GermaAy-Aus-
Hungary-Bulgaria can never be
so complete as to make any changes
in the present map of Europe. All
that that could effect would be the
momentary abandonment of the
Russian pan-Slavic program, the rel
egation to dormancy of the French
'revanche' and the stay of Great
Britains hand from the destruction
Of German commerce.. On the other
hand the triumph of Great Britain
Russia-France cannot fail to give
Russia the mastery of the continent
Of Europe and restore Great Britain
to her sovereignty over the seas.
These two great powers, who now al
ready between them possess almost
the half of the whole world, would
then, indeed control the destinies OF
the earth.
