Speaking of Traitors,

Esau was traitor to himself; Judas
Iscariot was a traitor to his God; Bene-

The worst traitor of them all is the paid

two specific instances wherein judg-

Our Tariff Hit Industries.
lProvidence Evening Trihune.O

providence Evening Ir1Dune1
The destructive effect of the new
Democratic tariff on the industries of
Rhode Island appears in visible form in
this years assessed valuation of such
property reported yesterday by the
Board of Tax Commissioners to the gen.
eral treasurer for his collection of the
revenue therefrom.
Last year the corporate excess value
of the states manufacturing. mercantile
and miscellaneous corporations was
$685. l07, $685. this year 1t is $13o. 6sS. SSl5s
These values. which are the values OF
the stock Of these corporations over and
above what is tangible in their plants
and merchandise, are obtained from
sworn statements by the responsible
managers. verified by the tax commits
sioners. and may be accepted as fair
measures of the prosperity of the states
corporate industries.
This loss of nearly two and half MIL
lion dollars in the last II months means,
therefore, that since the new tarin got
into full operation the industries OF
Rhode Island have lost just that much
in money-m making capacity-in other
words, the Democratic schedules Of Gus
toms duties have in one short year taken
from the State that much wealth. II IS
not only the owners of this industrial
property who suffer; it is the state treas
ury also. and hence the service which
the State government can give to the
people.
That it is tariff hostile to domestic
industry that has caused this loss ad-
mits no question. With imports OF cot
ton cloths doubled under the Wilson
Underwood law, as from s721,eo2 in value
in March. 1913, to s1,402,o71 in March, 1914,
and with imports of wooden and worsted
cloths increased in value at the rate ZOE
example of from s3ss,s74 in March. 1873
to 81, ss6, $40 in March, 1914, it was new
table that Rhode Island mills should be
less prosperous and Rhode Island mill
stocks less valuable.
The new Democratic tariff has already
stopped the increase of wealth in Rhode
Island; continued in operation indefinite
lv 1t would mean the industrial ruin Oh
the state.

"sasetv First for Children.

"Safety First" for Children.
One hundred and ten thousand let
ters to the mothers and fathers of
Boston, urging them to help their
children to remember safety first"
during vacation, were sent out by the
Boston Chamber of Commerce yes
terday as a part of its broadly Or
ganized campaign for accident-pre-
vention.
At the same time lecture outlines
were sent to the teachers in the Bos-
ton public schools, setting forth the
main points in the argument for safe
ty-first Superintendent Dyer wrote a
letter to the principals and teachers,
urging them to cooperate in bringing
the safety-first principle to the atten-
ton of the students before the schools
adjourn for vacation.
Within the last two decades, $4,000
children have been killed while tres
passing on railroad tracks in the Uni
ted States. Statistics for one street
railway company shows total of
more than 10000 accidents in four
years on that one line-more than 81
day on the average. Almost all
were the result of earelessness, and
a large per cent represents injuries
to children.
The Chamber suggests to the par
ents that they can help by doing these
specific things: -.-=-=.--z-

the streets:
To look both ways before cross

Not to get frightened at APP

lar street crossings where traffic

To wait always until the car
stops before getting on OF off. A
half minutes patience may save
waiting for a lifetime. "Better

To keep heads, arms and legs in

SALOON FIGHT
IN RUSSIA NOW,
IS THE REPORT
AN EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN
AGAINST INTEMPERANcE HAS
STARTED WITH A VIM IN cZAR's
COUNTRY, AND SPECIAL PAINS
MADE TO SHOW EFFECT OF AL
cOHOL,
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

st. Petersburg, March 2s-The edu-
cational campaign against intemper-
ance has started with a vim in Rus
STA. At the instance of the Minister
of Ways and Communications a large
railway car has been fitted out with
exhibits showing the results of excess
sive indulgence in alcohol. 1t will be
taken all over the railways Of North
ern Russia by a lecturer and several
attendants. The car will be sidetracked
at the principal stations and lectures
on the evils Of drink will be given to
the railway employees. The lectures
will be illustrated by magic-lantern
slides.
It Is increasingly apparent that the
recent changes in the cabinet were due
solely to the desire OF Emperor Mich
olas to strengthen his campaign
against alcoholism. He is determined
to do away with the national vice"
and he has instructed his new minis
tiers to attack the drink evil vigorously
1t Is understood that the new admin
istration proposes to reduce the pro-
duction of vodka, the national drink:
to increase the penalties on Illicit
trading; and to refuse hereafter to
consider drunkenness al a mitigating
circumstance in cases of crime. Elk
else officials are to be held to a stricter
accountability for what goes on In their
districts.
How the government proposes to
meet the loss of revenue on vodka Is
not known. Receipts from taxes on
liquors last year were S101, $4,000
against total receipts OF $6.4s1, u.s. 900
from all sources.
The government intends also to take
measures to render financial aid to
small farmers and rural industries. The
form of this relief has not yet been
decided but 1t is probable that 1t will
include a system of cooperative coun-
try banks, based on the system in OPP
GRAFTON in Germany and other conti-
mental countries.
