THE TARIFF AND 1916.

Washington Star.
Speaking of 1916, Mr.. Watterson
says the Republicans will challenge
the Underwood tariff at their peril.
Mr.. Mann says they are going to take
that peril. And there you are.
What could be more persuasive than
Mr.. Mann's statement that "the great
est need Of the country is revision
Of the tariff ?" The Underwood law
was fashioned for a time of peace.
There was not war cloud in Europe,
not even as big as mans hand. Our
imports and exports were on peace
basis, and the calculation was for
their remaining so.
But now there is war, and on a
scale unprecedented. Business every
wherein America, in Europe, and
In the big islands of the sea--is deep
ly affected. In Europe it is all but
paralyzed. With us it is seriously de-
pressed, and dividends, as well as the
governments revenues, are showing
the disheartening condition. A war
tax of s10o,oO0,OOo has been levied
to make up an estimated treasury de-
ficieincy.
But the Underwood tariff had fail
ed before the war began. Though
calculated for peace conditions, 1t did
not meet them. The fact is, 1t was
bungled in the making. The senate
have five months to q revision OF the
houses revision, and even then the
work was not well done. It is but
just to the senate to say that its
changes were all for the better, for
IL the bill the house passed had been
enacted into law business would have
received staggering blow.
Necessarily, therefore. we shall

STATE PUTS EMBARGO
ON ALL CATTLE FOOD

Denver Post.
The state board of stock inspectors
met this morning and issued a regu-
lation placing an embargo against the
shipping into Colorado of livestock
from places under government quar-
antine and from all points east of the
Missouri river. At the same time the
board placed an embargo on hay,
grain and other feed from these dis
tricts unless it has been first properly
disinfected. The board issued an or
der that no stock cars can be used
in Colorado which have been in the
quarantined districts and those east
eff the Missouri river unless they have
been thoroughly disinfected by the
government. All government disin-
fected cars will carry a placard, CIV
ing them a clean bill of health.
Everything possible will be done
to protect Colorado from the invasion
of the foot and mouth disease" said
DR.. w. W. Yard, state, veterinarian,
this morning. >"The great dangers
lie in the food and in the So cars.
With the latter the danger Vow That
cars may be shipped from me infect
ed district to some western point and
then reshipped eastward to Colorado.
"The foot and mouth disease is an
infectious, apthous fever. The best
symptoms are lameness and sore
mouth, which prevents the animal
from eating and drinking. Then come
ulcers on the feet and mouth, and
along the digestive tract.
although the disease is only about
3 per cent fatal it spreads so rapidly
that it is useless to attempt to cure
it. The only safeguard that can be
taken is to kill the diseased animals
and burn the carcasses. The chances
of the disease spreading are enorm-
Gus, for the germ will live under or
dinary conditions for a year, and
recurrence of the disease in the same
animal is usual.
"Six or eight years ago millions
of dollars worth of livestock was de-
stroyed in New England and Penn
sylvania, during an epidemic of the
foot and mouth disease. The govern
ment inspectors waded in and killed.
That was all they could do. For their
own protection they wore rubber
gloves, coats and shoes, as human be-
ing are readily infected.
People most frequently catch the
disease through milk. 1t is sometimes
fatal in the case of children"

WITH CHARITY FOR ALL.

Atlanta Constitution.
And wars work is just begun; the
ruin is not complete; not all the
Christian temples whose sculptured,
artistic adornment taxed the genius
of more than century have been
battered down; many still stand,
whose stony saints from marble inches
seem to stare at the strife, targets
for the guns of ''Civilizationw These
may later make as grand ruins ms the
rest. Their battle-shaken bells are
yet to tell their death-knell.
And there are homes in stricken
Belgium that shelter fearful families;
theh umble cots of peaceful, toiling
villagers, that so far have been spar
ed--not from pity, but because the
death laden, iron messengers of de-
struction went astray. They, like
wise. bide their time with fear and
trembling. AT their poor firesides lit
tic children cling TO weeping mothers.
Whole lips quiver with prayers, to the
i ing of Kings to keep them in the
shadow of His all-protecting love.
So. then, all future travellers in
search Of ruins must seek the western
shores Of Eufope-the country of far
acclaimed culture and the arts of civ
ilization; the land that has sometimes
looked upon this western world Of
ours with high pity, as saying: "They
are hut in the morning of the times;
their so-called art is embryonic; their
literature an imitation; their civiliza-
ton far from the splendid perfection
the old world has attained. They have
still to learn of us!'
Yet here they see a country at
peace with all the world--a country
that has made sacrifices for peace;
that does not rush to war at wild
word; a country that offers food and
shtlter to their homeless, war-driven
sor, and daughters; that has been,
since its first sunburst of freedom,
r.ok of refuge to the oppressed of the
earth: country with an mistaken
trrst in God; going on from strength
to strength; uplifting the lowly;
strong in trial; generous in prosper
ity; with charity for all; malice to-
ward noner-God's country, by the
grace of God!

The farmer who has not fall plow-

To offer. 1t is a proven fact that
fall plowing is by far the best for
wheat and oats, especially wheat. Ev-
cry experienced person says this as
well as agricultural journals. On the
side we can youch for it too. We've
had experience. There are OCCASION
al seasons when it seems almost i'm
possible to get around to fall plow-

poleop, his rise and his defeat.
The dates of various past cata-
clysms, including wars and natural
disturbances, are given, and the pres
ent general war is foretold, although
the date is set for 1915.
OF this war the prophecy says:
"Famine, slaughter and mortality
will be extensive, so that there will
lie left a small number of men. When
two meet each other they will en-
brace with joy"
In 1850, says the prophecy, three

beginning of series of disasters
which will eliminate with the end of
the world.
In 1856 there are predicted "tem-
pests of the seas, floods, commotion
of the earth without parallel in his
tory.
Sicily will be swallowed up by the
sea and Naples will be destroyed by
fire in 1860, according to the proph-
ecy. At the same time France and
Spain will be desolated by earth
ouakes. In the Orient there will be
pestilence and famine.
In 1870 there will be an eclipse FOL
seven days, after which the first star
it is predicted, will appear. From
then until 1899, when the world VIII

d.cted vague catastrophes.

is no more danger of trouble in the

SOME OF THE ALrBIs.

Kansas City Journal.
The days Immediately succeeding
an important political contest arc al
ways crowded with alibis put forward
by leaders Of the defeated. So far
as the excuses offered by the Pro-
gressives for the practical collapse
of the Bull Moose movement are con-
cerned, one may pass by the scriptur-
al quotations of Colonel Roosevelt as
obviously inapplicable and in more or
less bad taste Medill McCormick's
view that the people are tired of
reform" and have become wearied
with the Progressive propaganda is
both refreshngly frank and very near
to the truth. The people are never
tired of legitimate reform, for they
are always ready to recognize real
exigencies calling for relief action.
But the rest of McCormick's alibi is
more plausible, for it is plain that
the people have lost confidence in the
so-called Progressive reforms, if not
in the sincerity of Roosevelt and his
associates. This Progressive alibi is
therefore entitled to the merit of can
dor and logic and in all probability
will be generally accepted as an ac-
curate estimate of the peoples atti-
tude toward the late movement. Sew
eral of the lesser lights of the party,
among them some defeated candi-
dates. do not hesitate to say that the
handicap of Roosevelt himself was
too heavy to be overcome and they
lay their defeat at his door.

WAR AND FOREIGN MISSIONS.
Philadelphia Ledger.

fnllaueipnla Leuect.
One of the anomalies of the war is
the total subordination of the church
to the state. Protestants slaughter
Protestants, Catholics fight Catholics;
members of the Greek church are in
arms against members of the Greek
church, and now that Turkey is drawn
into the maelstrom, Mohammedans
under the crescent will fight Moham-
medans under the Union Jack.
This peculiar state of affairs is ma
turally having destructive influence
upon foreign missions. Not only have
missionary centers been disturbed,
but the intelligent pagan will demand
some national explanation of this
strange anomaly. Never in the his
toy of religion has such perplex-
ing situation faced religious bodies.
1t is gratifying to learn, however,
that the churches in this country are
meeting these trying conditions with
exceptional courage and enterprise.
The American board of foreign mis-
sions at its annual meeting in De-
troit reported upward of million
dollars as the total receipts for the
year, the largest in its history, espe-
cially in July and August. While the
effects of the war upon the mission
fields have been disastrous, the i'm
preston made upon the organized re-
.ligious life in America is indicative
of new and reassuring interest in
the higher welfare of all the nations
of the earth.

800 YEARS OF TRANSPORTATION
EVOLUTION REACH GREAT
HEIGHTS.
New York Times.

Turn OFF the 25,0UO,O0O gallons oil
gasolene used by New York city an
nualIy for transit and hauling pur-
poses, and Immediately the municipal
ity which celebrated its tercentenary
falls away in magnitude more than
25O,000 inhabitants and fifty square
miles of residential and business area.
So the automobile statistics say, and
they produce figures that seem to
clinch their contention. The influence
of gasolene generated motive. power
upon the city's expansion is Of super
lative degree. The census mark at
tanned by the metropolis in 1900
would have been exceeded in 1914 only
to normal and uneventful percent
the steam engine remained the meth
ods of propulsion.
Through the three hundred years
that New York has existed as con-
crete community the evolution of
transportation systems has ever been
the barometer by which the city's ad-
vancement could be gagged. From
the crudest to the latest forms of
power use and power harnessing the
expansion of the municipality may be
interestingly followed step by step.
As transit or trade schemes of move
ment were altered or revolutionized
so the city has bounded onward. When
the march of invention has not kept
pace with the van of necessity the
comparative tagging of the city has
been easily perceived. For this rea-
son the boom of New York that came
with the gasolene innovation stands
out strikingly distinct.
And of all the changes, adoptions
and adaptations that have helped to
expand New York it is hardest to
realize how the city got along with
out the automobile. Its influence is
SO strong upon every phase of social
and commercial life that even to sup
pose it's absence would be considered
lunatic imagining. 1t has so entered
into the vital daily doings that when
you put the question, What would
we do without the automobile in New
York ?" the answer is held to be un-
surmisable. Not only has its intro
duction filed the long waiting want
but its use has begotten new necessi-
ties and promptly injected them into
the very blood of the city.
To realize this more fully first see
the magnitude of the automobile in
fluence in connection with the pres
ent life and trade of the municipal
ity. This is best comprehended by
words carrying figures.
A day or two ago the automobile
branch of the secretary of states Of
flee in this city had recorded licenses
for $4,000 automobiles in New York
city. Of these about 10,500 were ve-
hicles devoted to commercial use. AT
the close of 1918 and extending into
the opening months of 1914 there
were about 100000 automobiles in
New York state, so that the metropo
lis contains about one-half of the We
hicles in use in the commonwealth
The last tally of the commercial au-
tomobiles in use throughout the coun-
try gives the figures at 10000, so that
the 10000 used in New York city rep
resent more than one-sixth OF those
purchased for trade purposes in all
the United States. This illustrates
pretty well the influence of the gaso-
lene driven vehicle or trade and COM
merce in New York.
