What the country needs is not so much the success of any particular party on a tariff platform as such 8 settling of the tariff question as will rid business of this eternal oscilla- tion. Half of the nation is already committed by reason of it's party af- filiations against any tariff that is es- tablished> by, a political party. The moment tariff Is made it is attack ed and it ise only a question of time when the attacks will result in it's overthrow. "
 The country could, after so long a time and in some fashion, adjust it. self to any sort of tariff. It could stand a low tariff if it felt that that was the kind of tariff it was going to have indefinitely and simply. had to adjust itself to 1t. It could adjust itself to a high tariff if it realized that high tariff was to be its fate and that it might as we'll make it's dispositions accordingly and say no about 1t.
 But what it cannot adjust itself to is this constant tariff oscillation which the present method of dealing with the question insures in this country. The only sort of tariff which can rid business of this quadrennial disturbance and possibility of com- plete overturning of important ar engagements is a tariff prepared by tariff experts along scientific lines, and involving the fortunes of no poli- tical party.-Chicago Herald.

NOME MAIL CARRIERS
 TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE

Fred Larson, who carries the mail between Nome and Candle, had 8 fearful experience on a recent trip in which he narrowly escaped being drowned and freezing after escaping from the former danger. He was us- ing reindeer sleds and while attempt ing to cross Salt Lake sled and man went into the water. Larson strug- gled among the broken ice and fin- ally succeeded with the help of an- other man in reaching solid ice.
 The wind was blowing gale and as the spot where the accident oc- cured was without shelter Larson was in danger of freezing to death as the wet garments froze to his body. His hands were numb and 1t was impossible for him to do anything to help himself so his partner cut his clothing from him and wrapped him in a fur robe. They finally reached shelter but the mail carriers health is reported badly shattered from his terrible experience.

SERBIA SC0NQUES1
 HAS BEEN COM PLETE
Monastir, Where Serbians Made Last Stand, Captured by the Aus
 trian and German Troops.

LONDON, Dec.| 3.-Vienna dis patches states that the Serbian city of Monastir has finally fallen into the hands of the invaders and that the Serbian troops defending the city were captured. The city was cap- tured the last time by the Austrian troops as it had been reoccupied by the Serbians after the withdrawal of the Bulgarians.
 A singular feature of the trium- phant entry of the captors into the city was the fact that only German and Austrian troops were allowed to enter, the Bulgarian troops being en- camped on the outer forts. The Ser bian flags which. were floating over the government buildings were re- moved and Austrian flags run up. The dispatches from Vienna state that the conquest of King Constan- tines country is now complete as the Serbian armed forces have been driv- en from the country and the Serbian capital is in foreign country.

SWEARING IN JAPANESE.

The Jap is always polite. but once in a while he slips from grace-and when he does he is up against it, for there are no swear words in the Jap anese language. When a Japanese meets you he bows three times and takes off his hat, but does not shake hands. When he greets you his first concern is about your ancestors and next about your stomach. It would be almost an open insult for one Jap anese to meet another without ask ing how his stomach fared. On the third bow he asks, This morning how is it with your honorable in- sides?" AS you come up on your third bow you answer to the effect that the place mentioned is doing as we'll as could be expected and in turn ask him what news he has had from the front Then he lifts his hat again and says, "Your delightful head this morning, I hope it have no commotion." When you tell him that you are pleased to report that it feels we'll this morning, he asks about a few generations of honorable ances- tors and then you are free to take up the weather.
 Even though they are elaborately polite, once in while one Japanese will get mad at another. Their an- ger kindles slowly at first, finally flaming into a blaze that knows no staying. But even though there is a torrent of emotion seething in his soul there are no words to give it vent; it keeps surging harder and harder until he throws aside all re- straint and gives up all decency by putting into one phrase all his bit terness and snapping squarely into the other mans astonished face the worst thing that can be said in: the whole language: "Your stomach is not on straight" This is the final insult; nothing more can be added Homer Croy in Leslie's.

NEEDED: A TARIFF GYROsCOPE.

Governor-elect Samuel w. Mccall of Massachusetts predicts a Repub- lican national triumph in 1916. He bases this prediction on the evidence that the Progressives are returning to the fold and on the strength of the tariff issue.
 Suppose his prediction comes true and we have a Republican tariff. Will that settle the tariff issue? Hardly. The tariff cycle will again proceed to complete itself. After season there will be growing discomfort with the tariff in various quarters which be- ieve that they are being discrimi hated against. And the time will in- evitably come when the Democrats will themselves find the tariff useful as a party issue.
