sition of neutrality aEd which is being so zealously guarded, Is something which cannot be disregarded.
 It Is not impossible to consider what such a government owner ship venture means financially when the use of sS0,000.000 is contemplated in a scheme which is being rushed into action, and at time when timely con- sideration is being given to economy in government affairs.
 Even though it is being urged as an administrative measure, it deserves the serious thought of congress as to it's advisability. It is well to be sure before going ahead with such an effort even though 1t means a de- lay or even its defeat

WORK OF THE TARIFF CUT.

Business conditions throughout the country are to some extent affected by the war; but it is impossible for all to be attributed thereto. The war comes at an opportune time and every effort is being made to use it as a blind for covering up the operations of the tariff for revenue only policy, but facts speak louder than words.
 The disastrous results of the tariff bill did not commence simultaneously with the opening Of the war. It had begun to get in it's work before, as the available import figures for July plainly point out. The months of July in 1913 and 1914 permit of a com- parison under the old and the new tariff bills and it is shown that in July, before the war opened, there was an increase in the imports of manufac- lures of silk of 22S per cent. In hosiery there swas an increase of 45 per cent. Wool varied according to class from 731 to 55 per cent, automobiles and parts showed a gain of 49 per cent. cloths f24 per cent, dress goods 201 per cent, carpets 5S per cent, wearing apparel 92 per cent, cutlery S2 per cent. paper and manufactures 54 per cent, leather and tanned skins s8 per cent, lace 92 per cent and linen yarn 60 per cent.
 This means first of all that the industries of this country were being discrfminated against. Such means less American production, and there has been no fulfilment of promises as to low prices. The country has lost the business. It has suffered a serious curtailment of revenue. It has been made to pay an income tax and still another tax is coming for more revenue, but it cannot be fooled into believing that it was all the result of the war.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Prayers for. Peace.

MT. Editor: Will you permit me through your columns to call attention to one or two special points in the presidents proclamation concerning next Sunday, all of which. by the way, is so admirable in spirit and wording that it might well be printed in full again.
 All God-fearing persons are urged ito repair on that day to their places of worship" there to lay their peti- tions together before Almighty God. Should not those houses of worship be filled? All of us are affected in some measure by this tragic war, and sure ly those who have a religious faith and human sympathy are disposed in the face of such need to pray. Espe- cially would we invite the participa- tion of those who, having lately come among us. have perhaps not felt them selves wholly at home as yet in any churches in this country. Many of them have near kin in the contendins armies, and are filled with anxious foreboding concerning their former home or lifelong friends. Surely We can pray together, and that prayer will itself be step toward the real ization of brotherhood which shall at last make war impossible.
 Furthermore, we are not called to pray for a fruitlesS truce, nor yet in any partisan spirit for the success of one or another group in arms. We are asked to pray that "overruling the counsel of men. setting straight the things they cannot govern or alter, taking pity on the nations now in the throes of conflict, in His mercy and goodness showing a way where men can see none, God vouchsafe His children healing peace again, and re- store once more that concord among men and nations without which there can be neither happiness nor true friendship nor any wholesome fruit of toll and thought in the world; pray ing also to this end that He forgive us our sins, our Ignorance of His holy will, our wilfulneSs and many errors, and lead us in the paths of obedience to places of vision and to thoughts and counsels that purge and make wise"
 In such desires we can be united. And while there is no need, as some have suggested, to inform the AL mighty how He may bring His pIfr- poses to pass, there is need for us to

GOVERNMENT SHIP LINE.

It is qr evident despite the de- sire of the president that the govern ment ownership and operation of mer- chant vessels be pushed as an ad- ministration measure, that there is still much opposition thereto. It has been manifested throughout the con- sideration of the bill and such oppo- sition prompted the lending of pres- dential influence, but it is neverthe- less Q fact that it is looked upon with much disfavor.
 Even though it can be sufficiently Demonstrated that the government has he right to go ahead with such a 7roposition. it is impossible to over ook the attitude which has been taken " leading foreign governments in be- 1alf Of certain features of the bill.
