For a Tariff Commission
(From the New York Tribune.)

sell us goods at dumping" prices,
and we shall feel the pinch of compe-
tition with many countries whose
scale of living has been materially
lowered
Before the war ends we should pre-
pare for a scientific readjustment Of
our tariff to meet new conditions
readjustment made by economic ex-
perts, not by uninformed politicians.
Take the new dyestuffs industry which
is being established here. If It sue
ceeds in turning out dyes for the
American market it should be protect
ed from the desperate efforts which
the German manufacturerD will sure
ly make after the war to re-establish
former worldwide monopoly.
A tariff commission could deal more
intelligently with such problem
than the committees of Congress can
These committees are ordinarily con
trolled by men with a local issue
point of view. But the only interest
which should govern IN the framing
OF tariff rates is the interest of the
entire country.
Economically and commercial,
the United States is still poorly or
ganized. The government is not do
ing all it should do to push the coun
try forward The war has given us I
wonderfully great opportunity e
strengthen our financial and CONNER
cial position. But we need better ma
chinery to do the work ahead of us
/ The creation of a permanent tar
iff commission and the elimination
of partisan politics and parochialisn
from the consideration of tariff prof.
lens would mean an enormous gail
in governmental efficiency and ns
tional energy 1t would mark in on
big field the putting away of juvenil
methods-the end of a policy which

MEALS Will FIT!
NO INDIGESTION,
Gas OR ACIDITY
Eat without fear OF sOurness,
heartburn, belching or
dyspepsia.
The moment "Pape's Diapepsin"
reaches the stomach all
distress goes.

II your meals don't fit comfortably,
or YOU feel bloated after eating apd
YOU believe it is the food which fms
you; il what little you eat lays like a
lump Of lead on your stomach; II
there is difficulty in breathing after
eating. eructations of sour, undigested
food and acid. heartburn, brash or a
belching Of gas. you can make up
your mind that you need something
TO stop food fermentation and cure
indigestion.
To make every bite OF food you eat
aid in the norishment and strength
of your body, you must rid your
stomach of poisons, excessive acid
and stomach gas which sours your
entire meal-interferes with digestion
and causes SO many sufferers Of dys-
pepsia, sick headache. biiousness,
constipation, gripping, etc. Your case
is no different-you are stomach
sufferer. though you may call il by
some other name; your real and only
trouble is that which you eat does
not digest but quickly ferments and
sours, producing almost any I'M
healthy condition.
A case Of Pape's Diapepsin will
cost fifty cents at any pharmacy here,
and will convince any stomach suffer
or five minutes after taking a single
dose that fermentation and sour stom-
ach is causing the misery of indiges-
ton
No matter IL you call your trouble
catarrh Of the stomach, nervousness
or gastritis. or by any other name
always remember that instant relief
is waiting at any drug store the mo-
ment you decide 70 begin its use.
Pape's Diapepsin will regulate any
out OF order stomach within hve
minutes. and digest promptly, without
any fuss or discomfort all Of any kind

Trained Officers Our Greatest Need
IFrom the New York Tribune.l

We may have unframed or partially
trained men in profusion. But where
can we look for officers who would
weld that raw material into real arm
les? In the regular army today there
are about 5000 officers. But one
campaign against a formidable enemy
would reduce that corps to a mere
remnant. Great Britain I'm the first
year of the present war. with not
much more than 100000 troops en-
gagged lost about 1900 officers. We
could not make good on a rate OF loss
like that. We should be compelled 70
carry on the war with second and
third line troops, whose quality would
be still more reduced by lack of Off
GERS really fit to lead them.
It is time for us TO quit talking
about an armed citizenry" and to bes
gin to create the real essentials Of
defence-a regular army of proper
size and a proportiOnately larger body
of thoroughly trained officers. Wese
Point turned out last year just 1874
officers We ought to have enough
military academies to turn out a min,
imum of 900 officers a year and we
ought to have a standing army Of
100000 to 100000 men, serving as a
national training school for men who
are to go into the reserve. We do not
require a vast mass of national mi
| litiamen. Our greatest needs are a
better organized military system and
much enlarged officers corps, equal
to handling the regular army and to
giving intelligent direction besides to
the cruder forces which must be call
ed into service in an emergency.

"The Nations Business" published
by the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, has starte' new cam
paign for the creation of a permanent
tariff commission. Il is a campaign
that ought to succeed The country
needs the services of an expert body,
freed from partisan pressure. TO help
solve the many economical problems
which must arise at the end of the
great war.
There could not be a better time to
cut away from the crude, unscientihc
tariff-making methods OF the past. We
have allowed the tariff to be made
a plaything of politics. Partisan and
sectional animOsities have guided
too largely in the framing OF tariff
laws. With much more wisdom than
he ever received credit for, a Demo-
cratic candidate for President once
said: "The tariff is a local issue"
That is what 1t has been. The coun'
try has never yet been able to shake
itself free of ignorant, prejudiced To-
calism in the preparation of measures
which should have been framed in
the broadcast spirit Of ,narionalism-
as agencies for the increase of ma
tional wealth and efficiency and for
the strengthening of our economic po-
sition in a world in which information
al commerce plays every year a role
of larger and larger importance.
Il would be relatively easy for us
to adopt a new policy now. The tar
if question is politically dormant The
operation of the Underwood law has
been practically suspended since the
war began. We are running up enor
nous surpluses in exports, and i'm
ports threaten no American industry
The politicians can make little out o
the situation either way. But the eco
nomist can foresee the harsh reaction
which must come after the war 4
over, when Europe will be eager Il

THE EFFECT OF THE SEAMAN'S
LAW ON TIE TRADE WITH
THE ORIENT.
From the New York snn

From the New York Sun.
To the Editor of the Sun-Sir. If
Japan really has any intention of at
lacking our Pacific possessions and
our Pacific Coast States, with a fatui-
tousness almost incomprehensible on
the part of intelligent human beings,
we have in the La Toilette seamans
law placed in Japan's hands a means
TO accomplish its purpose.
This Ubiquitous measure has driven
the American flag from the Pacific
Ocean and turned over to Japan our
entire carrying trade to and from the
Orient
How a man Of President Wilson's
intelligence could sign law like the
La Toilette bill passes comprehen-
sion. Il should be repealed as soon as
Congress meets, even though it is too
late TO save our shipping on the Pa
