The President and Protection.

In a news article IN WEDNESDAY
Star it was stated, "on high author
ity." that the President is determined
"that American industry shall be in
sured against wholesale dumping of
cheap stuff on American markets in
competition with home products. The
President, it is believed, would care
little whether the insurance he will
see is given goes under the name of
protection or not. He would care lit
tie whether the republicans charge
him and his party with stealing the
tariff doctrines of that party. All
this would be immaterial to him in
the face of accomplishing neces-
sary and vital object"
The President is already on record
= in favor of protection. When he
signed the Underwood measure he
subscribed to that policy. Protee-
ton was recognized both by House
and Senate when that revision of
the tariff was put into shape. 1t could
not have been ignored. Had it been
left out entirely, the business of the
country would have instantly and
completely collapsed.
On one occasion when the Senate
was engaged. on a tariff bill, Mr..
Daniel of Virginia, Thoroughbred
revenue reformer, offered an amend
ment of so distinctly a protection
character a republican senator pres
ent, in a spirit of humor, called at
tention to it. Said he: That is pro-
lection" Cali it what you please"
replied Mr.. Daniel, unabashed, my
constituents want it, and I'm for it"
Tariff reform has always been
urged in terms of extravaganza. For
that reason tariff reform victories
have proved disappointing. Mr..
Cleveland returned to Office in 1892
on a platform whose tariff plank was
impossible of conversion into law.
The attempt resulted in botch which
greatly added to business depres-
sion already existing.
Mr.. Wilson obtained Office on a
platform whose tariff plank was an
absurdity. Protection was no more
responsible for the high cost Of liv-
ing than the man in the moon; and
when the test came-when the tariff
revision which was to reduce the
cost of living was put to work-the
democrats were put to confusion. In
stead OF lowering, prices scared; and
some are today out of sight.
Now that We are on the eve of an
other tariff revision, why not ap-
proach the matter in the light of our
abundant experience? Protection
we have always had, and always shall
have, with US. All necessary is that
it be applied fairly, logically and ma
tionally. Whenever that course has
been taken the country has benefited.
Whenever protection has been de-
nounced as robbery under the forms
of law" and yet subsequent effort
made to hide its presence by leg
islative shuffle-now you see it, and
now you don't-the country has suf-
iered.
The death of President Mckinley
was a great loss in every way. but
in no way more pronounced than in
that Of tariff revision. Had he lived
we should have seen the tariff re-
vised on downward lines; and sue
cessfuIly revised, because the work
would have been performed under
the frank contention OF the benefl-
cence of protection as a national pol
icy.

IMPORTANCE OF HAVING
BABY'S BIRTH RECORDED

The record of the birth of every
child is matter of great importance,
Many of the answers to the most vi
tai questions that may hereafter be
presented to your child will depend
upon this record. Many children and
adults have been deprived of heritage
because their parents failed to have
their birth recorded. Payment of life
insurance policies are frequently hast
ened by properly recorded birth GER
ti6cate. Entrance to schools. espec-
tally in crowded cities, frequently de-
ponds upon the presentation of copy
of a properly recorded birth certifi-
cate. Important positions are often
dependent upon proof of age and ma
tionality, and there is no proof as
positive as properly recorded birth
certificate.
Are you sure the birth of your
child has been recorded? In order to
make yourself doubly assured of this
fact apply to the State Board OF
Health for a copy of the birth certi-
icate. Preserve it for your child.
Health is better than wealth. If
you had both which had you sooner
lose?
Measles often paves the way for
consumption.

WATCH FOR SCHOOL DISEASE

Diphtheria, scarlet fever and mea-
sizes are very contagious (catching)
diseases. They spread quickly from
the child that is sick to other children
1t is important to send for the doctor
in case a child is not getting we'll
The following signs of the diseases
and advice as to how to care for them
will be of help to you:
Diphtheria.
Signs-Sore throat with gray film
or membrane on the throat and ton
sils or in the nose; fever.
It is caused by germ called the
diphtheria bacillus. This can be
grown in tumbler of jelly called cul-
ture. Diphtheria often ends in death,
especially when it affects the wind
pipe. 1t is then called Group" The
only cure for diphtheria is antitoxin.
If antitoxin is given on the first day
of the disease and in large enough
dose, ninety-nine out of one hundred
patients get well. The injection is
harmless, not painful, and leaves no
scar.
Children who have diphtheria must
be kept away from the rest of the
family until cultures from the nose
and throat no longer show the diph-
liberia bacilli.
Scarlet Fever.
Signs-A bright red rash over the
I whole body, coming out one dav af-
ter sickness begins; sore throat; vom,
lting; high fever; four or five weeks
later the skin peels off in scales.
Children who have scarlet fever

peeling and the child is declared well

that the loan bill will pass, especial
ly since the president has passed
around the word that all appropria-
tions must be held down and the
treasury protected against all unus-
ual strains.
Lane of Same Mind.
In the face of the attitude of the
president, the secretary of the inter-
ior and the reclamation service have
been puzzling for several weeks over
the idea embodied in Senator Borah's
bill, for Secretary Lane is well aware
that unless additional money can be
had from some unusual source, many
of the uncompleted projects will be
delayed for years to come. The Sec
rotary, moreover, would like to au-
thorize the adoption of several new
projects, but has stated repeatedly
that no new projects can be under
taken until means to finance them are
provided.
To Raise the Money.
Senator Borah's bin provides for
the issuance of certificates of in
debtedness to cover the amount ad-
vanced from the treasury to the recla-
nation fund, in the event of cash on
hand in the treasury is inadequate
to meet the demand, although the
senator is not committed to that par
ticular plan of financing and would
accept any practical substitute. 1t
| is his opinion that the money can
be raised if congress will grant the
authority and be raised in way
that will not be a drain upon the
| federal treasury.
What Failure Means.
Unless congress passes the Borah
! bill or some other measure to raise
funds for carrying on the work on
government irrigation projects there
will be big slump in the field OPP
erations next year for congress last
session appropriated all the money
then on hand, together with the $780,
100000 advanced by an act of three
or four years ago, and the only
money available for the next fiscal
year will be the >$6,000,0O0 more or
less received from the sale of public
lands during the past year and per-
haps 100000 more paid back into
the reclamation fund by settlers on
completed projects. The total is
likely to be nearer 100000 than 81,
100000, and this amount distributed
among twenty or more projects will
give but little to any one.
