No Hurry About the Tariff

Like all other instructors in the pro-
tectionist school, our neighbor the Sun
believes that there is only one way to re-
wise the tariff, which is upward, and only
one acceptable time, which is now. No
matter ii all industrial Europe is at war
and is doomed to remain so, perhaps,
for two years more, there will be peace
eventually, and then "our manufacturers,
merchants and workers will be at the
mercy OF the most skillful and desperate
competitors the world has ever known"
Probably no well-informed person will
deny that after the close of the war there
will arise economic conditions in Europe
that may demand important changes in
our tariff. Good reasons may appear for
increasing some OF the schedules, but it
is quite as likely that common sense will
dictate decreases in others. With due
respect to the protectionist school, it
must be said that the American tariff is
going to be adjusted TO revenue as well as
protection for many day.
Existing customs duties have failed as
revenue-producers because the war has
reduced imports. The war, therefore,
has given most OF our manufacturers and
merchants the advantage that they would
hope for under prohibitive tariff. To
increase rates upon traffic that does
not exist would be useless, and expert
mentation in other directions, except for
the one object of revenue. would only
invite jobbery and disaster.
1t is not in the mind OF any disinter-
ested man to say precisely what kind OF
tariff we shall need when Europe relin-
cuisines the sword. But the very worst
OF all tariffs in that emergency would be
one under which few favored interests
could perpetuate in time of peace the
distractions from which we have suffered
in time of war.-World.

LEST WE FORGET

Let those who are condemning Presi-
dent Wilson for not embroiling this
country in war think of the millions of
human lives that have already been
sacrificed in the European war, and the
end no one can foretell. Then stop and
reflect of the stupendous debt which il
being piled up by the warning nations.
Take England as an illustration. At the
end OF the year England will face a debt
OF Sl2. O00, 00o, 900, and the second year
OF the war has only begun. The navy is
costing $3.50. 00O, 900 a year, the army
$500, 900, 900, while the external adj
vsnces, which include loans and gifts to
other countries, have already reached the
colossal total Of $2,115, 200, 900! This is
the largest expenditure of money in the
worlds history to meet the cost of a war.
Daily expenditures reach $25, 900. 900.
with an income Of only 81, 100, 900, 900 to
meet it. What startling and unprece-
dented expenditures Tor carrying on a
war. What gigantic debt to be placed
upon the shoulders Of the English people.
The other nations at war are imposng
a like burden upon the shoulders of their
people, a debt which it will take centu-
ries 10 Day at the close Of the war. And
then to think that there are people who
are 50 blindly partisan as TO blame Presi-
dent Wilson because he will not plunge
this country into war;

WASHINGTON ID. c.. Oct. 6.-The
Engagement OF Mrs. Norman Gait Of
Washington. to President Woodrow
Wilson. was announced at the White
House tonight. No date was set for
the wedding. but IL will probably oc-
cur early in December in the White
House.
Mrs. Calf, who will be the next
First lady OF the land" is the widow
OF business man OF Washington,
Norman Calf. a partner in a promi-
nent 5ewelry firm, who died eight
years ago. She has resided here since
her marriage. Mrs. Gait was Miss
Edith Boiling. and was born I'm Wythe-
Vile. Va. Her father was the Hon.
William Boiling, well known lawyer
The President met his fiance
through his daughter, Miss Margaret
Wilson, and his cousin, Miss Helen
woodrow Bones, who is a member OF
the White House household. Mrs. Gait
Is one OF Miss Bones most intimate
friends. and spent month at the sum-
mer White House at Cornish, as the
guest OF Miss Bones and Miss Wilson.
An informal dinner party was given
at the White House tonight which Mrs.
Gait attended to celebrate the an
nouncement OF the engagement.
Fourteen months ago to q day, the
PRESIDENTS first wife. who was Miss
Ellen Arson, died in the White House.
For many months the President main
tanned the strictest mourning. Late
last spring 1t was observed that the
charming friend OF Miss Bones was a
frequent guest not only at the White
House, but in the presidential box at
the baseball games. Rumors Of an ex-
listing engagement between the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Gait were then circu-
lated. It's understood, now, however.
that the romance between the Presi-
dent and his fiance did not begin to
ripen until the Cornish visit. Mrs.
Gait and the President each day were
companions on long rides through the
suniit hills OF Vermont and New
Hampshire.
Mrs. Calls resemblance to the late
MRS. Wilson has frequently excited
comment. She is striking pretty wo-
man in her late thirties, slightly below
medium height and has a graceful,
rather plump figure. Her hair is
brown, and her eyes are grey blue.
Her prettiest feature is her mouth,
which Is curved and expressive.
President Wilson will be 50 years
old in December.

WASHINGTON, October 5.-The
most critical OF the issues between the
Uuited States and Germany was ami
cably settled today when the German
government. through Ambassador Won
Bernstorn disavowed the act OF her
submarine commander, who sank the
White Star liner Arabic on August 10
and offered indemnity for the two
American lives lost on that occasion.
Formal assurances were given also
that the orders under which the com
manders of German submarines are
now operating are SO strict that there
can be no recurrence of similar Incl
dents. This was an acceptance by
Germany. without qualification, OF the
demands of the United States and
opens the way to a satisfactory settle
ment OF all the points in controversy
between the two governments. Sec
rotary OF State Lansing tonight made
public the memorandum from Count
Won Bernstorff. 1t follows:
MY Dear Mr.. Secretary
Prompted by the desire to reach
satisfactory agreement with regard
to the Arabic incident my government
has given me the following instruc-
tions:
"The orders issud by His Majesty
the Emperor, to the commanders OF
our submarines of which | notified
you on a previous occasion, have been
made so stringent that the recur-
renee OF incidents similar to the Ara
bic case is considered out OF the cues
ton.
According to the report of Com.
mander Schneider OF the submarine
that sank the Arabic and his affidavit
as well as those OF his men, Com.
mander Schneider was convinced that
the Arabic intended to ram the sub.
marine. On the other hand the Imper.
ial government does not doubt the
good faith OF the affidavit of the Brit.
ish officers OF the Arabic, according
TO which the Arabic did not intend &c
ram the submarine The attack OF
the submarine therefore was under.
taken against the instruction issued
TO the commander. The Imperial gov.
eminent regrets and disavows this ac
and has notified Commander Schnei
der accordingly.
Under the circumstances my gov
eminent is prepared to pay any in
demnity for the American lives which
TO its deep regret have been lost OF
the Arabic. l am authorized to ne
gotiate with you about the amount O.
this indemnity.
| Il remain, my dear Mr.. Lansing
yours very sincerely,

John Browns Body.

In North Eliza, Essex county. New
York state, is little iron-fenced in
closure within which are several
graves. Six of these are unmarked.
One OF them is marked only by a
crumbling weather-beaten stone. on
which a crude inscription is barely
visible. Weeds grow rank among
the graves. The little cemetery Ia a
desolate, neglected, forgotten SPOT.
The grave marked by the crumbling
stone is that of John Brown, the brave
old abolitionist hero of Harpers Fer
ry, who sealed his belief in human
liberty in his own blood. The six I'M
marked graves are those of men who
persisted at Harpers Ferry. They are
oliver and Watson Brown. sons of
John Brown; William and Dalpbar
thompson, white men, and Stevens
and Haslett, negroes. These men
were killed at Harpers Ferry and
their bodies were at first dumped into
trench. Later their bones were laid
at rest in the little Gods Acre" I'm
North Elba besides the remains of the
Forerunner of Freedom.
The graves are on a farm once
owned by Peter Brown, grandfather
OF John Brown, and later by John
Brown himself. The cause for which
these men died is yearly celebrated
and constantly fresh in the minds OF
men who will not be able to forget
while a veteran remains to sound a
bugle on Memorial Day or a descend
ant lives to repeat the stories of the
great struggle.
But no "Old Mortality" has rever-
emily cared for these graves. They
nave been forgotten. Now a move
ment has been begun by Byron r.
Brewster of Glen Falls, N. Y, who az
boy worked for John Brown, and by
some others, to raise funds for a mon
ument TO Brown and his sons and
friends The movement should be
made national
Ihose who are discussing patriotic
themes at this time have here an on
portunity to show their faith by their
works. Faith without works is dead
being alone" 1t is a shame that this
matter has been so long neglected.
Now is a good time to show that pa-
triotic service, and service for human
ity Is not to be rewarded with weed
grown unmarked grave.-Detrolt
