 There is no doubt that church at- tendance has fallen off greatly even within the pust ten or twenty yeais. People no longer consider church at- ter dance the supreme mark of re spectability. nor do they look upon nun- attendance as indicating contempt
 for religion or laxity of morals. Eveu

 Tn spite of this. however and a'-
 tose ether apart from the question of re-
 ltgion, church attendance undoubtedly
 works for the betterment of the com
 munity and everyone interested in tie
 social upliftment of the people must
 regret that the habit of staying away
 Is becoming more and more common. This is especially to bo regretted among the young. At the age when thel character Is influenced by every fresh impression the value of church attend- arce cannot be overestimated and it has been remarked more than oncsl that the disregard of the average Am crican for sacred things his flippancy and lack of reverance are largely at- tributable to the fact that he is ID icngLr subjected to the old discipline ir which the church played so iargs and important a part.

That day las gone forever. but 1t would be well for the public to reflect that the in- flrences of church are nearly always fer good and that there are counter influences outside which most people would not wish their children to conc n contact with.

war Lipht on tha Tariff.

A survey Of the trade currents interrupted
by the war recalls to US that there are certain
articles Of commerce in which Germany holds a
virtual monopoly. Germany is said TO produce
practically the worlds supply of potash, al
though there are plenty of potash deposits all
the globe. Cyanide, the essential ingredi-
ent in the cyanide process OF gold refining. has
also been supplied almost exclusively from Ger
many. At the time of the outbreak OF HOSTILE
ties 80 per cent of the colors dye stuffs used
by us was imported, mostly from Germany, only
20 per cent being domestic product, and the
same was true In varying degrees OF chemicals
used in photography certain prepared drugs,
various kinds OF toys, and all of our sugar beet
seed. While many OF these articles are such
as can be produced by our people, It, has not
been possible TO produce them profitably against
the overpowering foreign oheap-laboT competi-
ton. In other Words We have now wonder
full opportunity to develop a number OF desira-
BILE Industries supplying definite demand, and
sure to give employment to large numbers OF
skilled workmen, only because the war has shut
off competition. But 1t Is also certain that II
those industries are developed under the stimu-
lons of present abnormal trade conditions the
termination OF the war exposing them to the re-
sumption Of the former competition would force
their suspension unless in the interval given the
benefit of protective tariff duties. II We had
,nonpolitical tariff board of unprejudiced ex-
perts. such as. the republicans have repeatedly
advocated, It could. and doubtless would quickly
readjust the tariff schedules TO encourage Amer
lean capital TO go into these enterprises with a
reasonable guarantee OF the home market, no
matter when peace is. restored Our war ca
perience.- therefore, is reinforcing and strength
ening the purpose OF the United States TO be In
| dustriaily seIf-sufficing against such an emer-
gency and the most effective means to this end
seems to be properly laid protective tariff.

MoAdoo and The southern Bankers.

Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo's dis
cipline OF the southern bankers. caught in an at
tempt 10 take undue advantage Of the financial
condition produced by the war will meet with
no protests except possibly from a few other
bankers in the same boat The treasury has
been responding to appeals TO help out the
banks, and particularly the banks through the
south. but plainly the purpose is not primarily
to help the bankers, but to help the people who
have to borrow money TO carry their legiti-
mate business operations. The bankers whom
Secretary McAdoo has called with turn have
been charged and the charges have presumably
been proved with both unnecessarily restricting
their accommodations and exacting exorbitant
interest rates, knowing that there is no escape
to their customers from them In other words,
the help extended by the treasury to these south
ern banks has been used to Cypress the borrow
ers instead Of TO relieve them, and the secretary
does not propose to have the government en-
gagged in that kind, Of business.
The whole southern situation, due TO the
stoppage Of the European outlet for cotton, is
causing much concern, but the people every
where realize that It is not an affair solely Of
the south The buy-a-bale-of-cotton movement,
which has enlisted support north as we'll as
south, is designed to hold up the price by taking
5000. 900 bales off the market, and II IL works
out viii to all intents and purposes be s25-
600, 900 loan 20 the cotton growers by the con-
tributors. But II the south expects outsiders
to render assistance, southern bankers surely
must do their part instead Of trying to use the
situation to increase their profits This ap-
parently is the view taken by Secretary McAdoo,
and It is the right view to take.

Making Life Insurance Life Protection

A paper presented by former President Taft
to the National Life Underwriters association
meeting last week in Cincinnati dwells upon a
new departure, that of life insurance companies
exercising a sort of continuous medical super
vision over their poIicyholders, which, in his
opinion. gives promise OF more useful service
TO society than any other feature OF the bust
ness. Heretofore insurance companies have ex-
acted physical examinations only when policy
contracts are taken out or altered in their es-
sential terms, leaving the life risk thereafter
pure gamble 80 far as individual cases are con-
cerned. The field which "a number Of compan-
les are now, opening up consists Of periodical
medical appraisement. which. It Is believed. win
catch many ailments or defects in their incipi-
ency, and thus prolong life. Mr.. Taft expresses
the conviction that modern methods OF exami-
nation and tests for detecting disease in early
stages. and the application Of proper remedies.
will do much to drive back the msladies that
usually come in middle life and which are more
and more attacking people in their younger
years 81 a

period OF prenNum payments beyond, the life exa

insurance can be made an agency for safeguard

OF the public with which It deals directly. there
is no question but that its usefulness TO hu-
manity will be vastly enlarged. s
