Give Law a Fair Test
Editor of The Age-Herald

To the Editor Of The Age-Herald; Your paper has recently published num- Der of interviews, some of them with prominent democrats, severely criticizins the democratic party and the Underwood tariff law with referenee to an order foi steel rails which has been placed in Can ada by the Illinois Central railroad The removal of the former high tariff is doubtless immediately responsible fol this orders going out of the United States But in looking further into the matter one wonders why the Steel cor poration did not meet the Canadian com petition. There is no 'pauper' labor in Canada. On the other hand labor rates are higher in that country than in this It may be that the Canadians are satis- fled with profits which are based on the actual value of their investments, where as the United States Steel corporation is up against the necessity of trying to earn returns on a dollar or more of water for each dollar of real investment The main purpose of those responsible for the Un- derwood tariff bill was to relieve Amer ican consumers of the tariff tax they 1 have been paying to the 5teel corporation and other trusts. Any business combna-
 
 ket, but can make exorbitant profits if
 given monopoly of domestic raw ma terials together with tariff that will
 prohibit foreign competition. scheme of this kind, however, ignores the rights of the buying public.
 It is likely that the Steel corporation will be able to supply the American mar ket and make fair profit when It de- cides to base its selling prices on the in- trinyic value of it's investment.
 As democrats let's uphold the adminis- tration until it's new policies shall have had an opportunity to work themselves out under more favorable conditions than those now sexisting. Very sincerely yours, | c. L.. BURTON. Jasper, March 25. 1915.

 I advocate protection to the manufactur-

No matter what particular views on the liquor question one may have. it would seem the large majority of our citizens are of the opinion that the authorities have gone to unnecessary lengths in caus- ing the removal of so-called whisky ad- vertising from the front of liquor dealers establishments. This position is generally taken from the fact that July will be the last of August. in the event August hap pens to be the name of an Alabama sa- loenist. There are those learned in the law who hold that the anti-liquor adver- Using law would not stand the crucial test of the supreme court on the grounds that the sale of liquor is authorized by the statute of the state. and therefore as legitimate a business as selling cotton or carpets, at least until July 1.
 However, when the crusade started against liquor signs the majority of liquor dealers removed the signs on and about their places of business at once. deem ing it not worth the cost of a legal scrap for the short time they will he in business.
 Tfere is no questioning the fact that Solicitor Black put a very strict con struction on the law when he held that the word bar" was a whisky advertise nient, and having put such construc- ton on the law, our zealous solicitor finds himself up against another proposition, and one that is causing him much con cern. The question was asked whether red noses and bay windows are whisky signs or not. and if under the law they are so construed. what steps will be taken for their removal
 Solicitor Black inclines to the belief that red noses are prima facie evidence of tampering with the wine cup but not al-

FLEET OF BRITISH

Month of Year.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press
LIVERPOOL, Jan. 30.-The chair
man Of the Liverpool Underwriters
association, In his speech at the an
nual meeting. said that owing TO the
effective work Of the British fleet the
losses during the war thus far TO
British shipping had been much less
than might have been expected. After
six months Of war. he said, the loss to
the British mercantile fleet was esti-
mated at 100000 to 1000, 900

SUPPLYING ARMS TO
COUNTRIES is 0, X,
Taft Says He Would Not
Prohibit u. S. From
Furnishing Munitions.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Feb. S.-Wil-
liam Howard Taft today made public
a letter he wroteJanuary &c to Pro
fessOr Edmond Won Mach of Har-
ward university, in which the former
president opposes the enactment of a
law forbiddng the supply of muni-
tiOns OF war from this country to the
belligerent nations. The letter was in
answer to a request from Professor
Won Mach asking Mr. Taft to write
a letter to be read at neutrality
meeting" favoring passage of the bill
introduced by Senator Hitchcock pro-
viding for such interdicuon.
The letter, which was not read at
the meeting, Mr. Taft says, follows:
MY Dear Prof. Won Mach: | have
yours of January "a. | cannot write
to neutrality meeting such a letter
as you would wish. | think that to
interdict the supply of ammunition
and arms from this country to the bel
ligerents in the war would be to adopt
policy that would seriously inter
fere with our own welfare, should we
ever be drawn into a war against our
will by the unjust invasion Of some
power who was fully prepared and
who would always find us unpre-
pared. Such a policy as that you in
dicate would mean that the power
who Is armed cap-a-pie would always
have at a disadvantage those coun-
tries that were not in such a state
Of preparation. 1t would, therefore,
lead to even greater pressure upon all
countries of the world that we have
seen in the last two decades, to In
crease their armament result which
we would all deplore. For this rea-
son | cannot think that 1t would be
wise to pass a law changing all the
rules Of international laws heretofore
prevailing with respect to the sale of
ammunition and arms to belligerents
by neutral countries. Nor do | think
that in the present exigency it would
be an act of neutrality to do so, be-
cause 1t would inure only to the ben
eft Of one OF the belligerents Sin
cerely yours William Howard Taft"

70 PROTECT NEUTRALS
Hosting Of American FLAG
on Lusitania Involves
Double Hazard.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Drafts of
notes to Great Britain and Germany,
one relative to the use of the Ameri-
,an flag by the British liner Lust
tania and the other concerning the
attitude Of the German navy toward
neutral vessels in the newly pre-
scribed sea zones Of war were given
consideration by President Wilson to-
day after conference with Secretary
Bryan and members of the cabinet.
1t is understood no protest or what
might be construed as a complaint
against any violation of International
law Is to be directed to either coun-
try The administration view Of the
hosting of the American flag on the
I-usitania is that 1t is a customary
ruse of war but at the same time
representations were deemed adWs-
able to point out how easily neutral
commerce might suffer through con-
tinued practice Of the strategcm.
As for the German admiralty's
proclamation that 1t may be difficult
to determine the character of a Ves-
sci found In the war zones, especially
because of the misuse of neutral flags,
the United States government intends
to ask for more information as to
the methods by which the order will
be carried out in practice and is pre-
pairing to point out that It expects
every effort to be made to verify the
nature of ships flying neutral flags
and assurance that due respect for
the safety OF Americans will be given.
With the question Of declaring
waters as in the zones Of war on the
belligerent merchant ships, the Amer
lean government Is not concerned.
Neither communication will go for
ward, 1t Is understood until complete
information is available which may
cause a delay of several days AS
yet the long memorandum of the Ger
man foreign office sent by wireless
