A FEW REFLECTIONS.

DUTY free imports comprised 71.6
per cent of the total imports for
September, 1915, and 61 per cent of
those of September 1914. Their in
creased percentage this year reflects
The marked growth in imports OF fac
tory materials, mostly on the free
list" This is quoted from the ad-
vance statement Of our September
trade, issued by the Department of
commerce.
A great many other things are re-
Elected in that paragraph. 1t also re-
fleets the marked growth in imports
Of meat and dairy products, farm pro-
ducts generally, fish, etc, which are
coming in free Of duty. But it does
not reflect any decrease in the cost of
living. The reason why the average
rate of duty on all imports for the
past year hovers around II and IL
per cent is reflected therein, which,
in turn, reflects the reason for thss
fat deficit in the treasury. 1t re-
fleets the reason why the administra-
ton would like to filch Republican
plumage and restore sugar, wool and
other articles to Republican rates,
with the declaration that it is "pri-
marily for revenue, with incidental
protection, and this sudden CONVEX
sion reflects the approach of cam
paign year. 1t reflects so much that
it gives good cause for reflection, and
that is exactly what the American
people are doingto day. The result of
that reflection viii find Uncle Sam
in 1917 ready for the gong to sound
which announceas the beginning of
the battle royal for commercial su-
premacy that is scheduled to take
place with the cessation of war. 1t
means the return of the federal gov
eminent to a sound business basis and
that means the restoration of the Re-
publicans to power. Yon can't stop
'em.

Skating Park.

Some years ago, during the McCon-
nell administration, when Will Wig
ellsworth was city engineer, the ques-
ton Of providing skating park for
the boys and girls came up for con-
sideration and resulted in the engin-
GERS locating place just north of
the Bell brick yard. With only a
nominal expenditure this piece of
ground was graded SO it held quite a
body of water, which was supplied by
tapping the pipe line near by and car
rying it through ditch. Shortly the
ice was of sufficient depth so that it
provided sport for all of the skating
enthusiasts, which included many per-
sons of mature years, as well as near
ly all of the younger generation. Mr..
Wigglesworth informs us that he be-
lieves with slight expenditure OF
money the old skating pond could be
restored-thereby removing the dan
ger that always exists when our young
people go to the Animas river to en-
JOY the sport.
