who have been consoling themselves

European imports, due to the war. has

are simply reckoning without the
travelling salesman.
The travelling salesman viii take
pains to explain the situation to the
dealers In all the cities, towns. and
villages. Take the hosiery salesman,
for instance. He viii explain that the
war has. in fact, cut of German inn
portations. In a way il has been as
though an exorbitant tariff had been
levied. No German hosiery is coming
in. Thus, the American manufaetur-
ers might be said to have the market
to themselves.
Exigencies of the war. however, can
not possibly produce the same bene-
fetal results as 4 protective tariff.
The salesman will explain that there
are drawbacks to the war business.
There are buyers, for example. who
are under restraint for financial rea-
sons incident to present conditions.
The salesman cannot sell his Ameri-
can hosiery if the customers have no
money to buy.
The evil of regarding the tariff as a
local issue is to be found right here.
1t is of little benefit to any industry
TO be we'll protected by the tariff IL
the rest of the country is not pros
porous. welladjusted tariff benefits
business generally. There is no acct
dent in the process. The nation itself
is protected from cheap labor products
from abroad and can pursue its way,
with prosperity and high wages.
Moreover the vaunted protection
which certain industries are said to
be receiving from the cessation of i'm
ports, takes no account of the needs
of the treasury. Under a protective
tariff ample revenue is obtained for
the government, while industry and
wages are protected from the lower
standards of wages that prevail
abroad.
The war is apt to bring the tariff
problem home to the people in a new
light. They have had their experience
with tariff for revenue only for the
first time in many years. and the
younger generation of business men
know more about the subject now
than they did before the new tariff
law went into effect.

Why Not Tax Golfers?

The proposed emergency revenue
measure levies a three per cent tax
on freight transportation bills. That
is making the wealthy interests of the
country bear the burden of the in
creased taxation with vengeance. 1t
has been estimated that golf costs the
United States $50, 100000 year. 1t is
a luxury that those who can afford TO
pay the price enjoy immensely as
much. perhaps. as does the poor devil,
who quaffs his glass of beer. upon
which is imposed an additional tax of
so cents barrel. The ingenuity OF
the tax fixer seems to have overlooked
golf as a possible source of revenue
that would not have pressed heavily
on the great wage earning classes.

Returnlnn in Indiana

More than 100 men who voted for
Theodore Roosevelt for President in
1912 held a conference in Indianapo-
lis and issued an appeal to voters
of all parties. but particularly to their
fellow Progressives of the campaign
two years ago, urging the support of
Republican candidates and Republic
an principles this year. They direct
attention to the great changes which
have been wrought in the leadership
and control of the Republican party
and they declare that the reasons
which justified the course which they
followed in 1912 no longer exist
Many of the men who took part
in this conference were very active
and influential in the Progressive
party two years ago. Their open
and emphatic change of party and
party connections now cannot fail to
have a far-reaehing and important ef-
feet. 1t will convince many wavering

In 1912 hundreds Of thousands OF
former Republicans voted for the
Democratic candidate. not that they
had changed their political principles,
but through desire TO defeat the pro.
gressive or Republican candidate for
the presidency.
The Democrats received directly for
their candidate in 1912 the votes OF
hundreds OF thousands OF angry Re
publicans willing TO help elect the
Democratic candidate as a rebuke to

The proposal to tax freight receipts
seems singularly infelicitous. AT the
moment when the railroads are suf-
fering for needed revenue. and when
they have been denied the privilege
OF increasing freight rates, the govern.
ment itself ought not TO step 10 and
impose tax which will increase the
cost OF shipments. A still more po-
tent objection has been found In the
disturbance which would inevitably be
caused in the nice balance of trade
conditions. especially in the compete
tive coal fields.

TINE TO EXPLAIN
Voters Want TO Know About
Democratic Promises.
Many Matters That Seem to Require
Elucidation-Lower Prices PR n
ised Don't Seem to Have Ar
rived-Workine Men Will
Want Explanation.


In view of The promises of many of
the Democratic candidates for various
state and federal Offices in 1912. that
If given the power to direct and con-
troll legislation the high cost of living
should be reduced. the campaign for
1914 is a most opportune time for
| these gentlemen to tell the voters just
how they have kept such promises.
The people in every city and in
every mar rfacturing district will be
anxious to know why prices of the
great majority of articles they have
to purchase have advanced in the face
Of these gentlemen having the power
to reduce them.
It is not in Massachusetts, Connecti-
cut. Rhode Island, New York. Penn
sylvania, and New Jersey alone that
the workingmen will insist on explana-
lions. but in every city and every in
dustrial district in the United States
| the voters will call for an exhibit of
lower prices for household necessities
as compared with the prices prevail
| ing in 1912.
| Sugar was one item that was to be
| lowered in price to the consumers,
and hundreds of thousands of the vot-
ers relied upon the Democratic victors
to bring it down greatly in price to
| the actual consumers.
Meats of all kinds were to be low
cred in price. Not only choice porter
house steaks were to be cut down in
price to figure that would enable the
masses to enjoy that delectable and
strengthening food, but every other
kind of meat was to be reduced from
what we're termed the extortionate
prices OF 1912.
The beef trust seems not only
mightier than the pen, but than the
| tongue, mightier than both tongue and
pen combined for in the platforms,
| through resolutions, and by speeches
were the voters of the United States
promised that its power should be
| broken and it's control of prices should
depart forever.
1t is time for the Democrats, who
were to reduce the prices to the
masses of the people, to call for the
tables of the department of commerce
and have the comparisons made be-
tween the prices of 1912 and those of
1914 of the necessities of life. the ar
ticles that enter into the cost of living.
Let them present the official state
ment to the voters and have it attest
ed by the proper officers. so they can
readily and concIusively show the cleo
tors just how much less their fuel

sugar (the sugar trust being busted),
their meats (the beef trust being ex-

How TO Use Bananas.

For banana sponge peel six ripe ba-
nanas and mash the pulp. Add four
ounces OF sugar. the juice Of lemon
and an ounce Of gelatin dissolved in
three supfuls of water and stir the
mixture over the fire for few min
utes. Let It cool. and when It is near
ly set add the whites of two eggs
beaten stiff. Pour In a mold. Serve
with cream whipped or unwhipped.
Bananas make a good substitute for
vegetables They should. however. be-
served in place of potatoes or some
other starchy vegetable and should
be accompanied or followed by a
green vegetable or salad. One way to
cook them when they are to take the
place Of vegetable Is to bake them
In some of the banana growing coun-
tries they are baked In the ashes In
their own skins until they burst
open. A better way in this country In
to remove one section Of the peel. free
the pulp from the rest of the skin and
return 1t whole, cover It with the sec
ton peeled off and bake In the oven
until the skin is charred and the pulp
soft all the way through. The pulp
should then be carefully removed from
the skin to the hot dish and served
with butter and salt and pepper or
with an unsweetened sauce-for fn-
stance. butter with little lemon juice
or teaspoonfui of sherry added Just
before 1t is poured over the bananas.
