Tariff and Politics

Here and there you hear prominent
democrats remark that the Tariff should
be taken out OF politics. Yes, that
would be a fine thing for the demo
cratic party l; is evident that since
the second trial at Free Trade program
in 20Years these gentlemen are begin
ming TO Sc. the handwriting on the
wall They ar. coming to recognize that
Tic Free-Tyadc progt2m is bad on busi.
ness, and now they advocate the taking
oithe Tariff out Of politics. ~Cauollon

That IS, to remove the shipping en-

cannot dc this II cannot persuade,

The republicans Of Virginia cast
about ore-iourh Of all the votes in
that state. The state government is
democratic, Of course, and there is but
one republican on any Of the various
state boards or commissions. He holds
4 place in the agricultural bureau.
This IS the rule in southern states; and
in some northern states where democ.
racy rulaS. In the republican states,
however, there IS always minority
representation on state boards which
indicates a spirit Of tolerance foreign
to the democratic party. Now the
democratic platforms, state and nation
al, are always found crying out against
republican parti5anship."

Senator Kern OF Indiana predicts
that the senate, at the next session,
will adopt modified cloture. Forget
it, Senator. The supreme courts de-
cision on the grandfather laws'' has
knocked out cloture. The courts
ruling on the constitutional rights OF
negro citizens to vote, regardless Of
whether their grandlathers could vote
in 1903, means the liberation Of con-
gress to enact laws to protect the
colored man at the polls. Congress is
going to be republican pretty soon
to'wit, after March 4, 1917, and no
democratic senator from the south is
going to vote for cloture now. Cloture
now may mean the passage Of the Will
son-McAdoo shippingbill. Cloture
two years from now means federal
election law, and no southern bourbon
will stand for that.

EnIisting the inventors

Much good may come from tn: plan
Of Secretary Daniels to enlist the lead
ing inventors of this country as a board
to devise and pass upon inventions
that may be useful TO the United States
navy, in case it should ever be
called into action. His invi'
ta;ion to Mr.. Edison to become pres,
ident Of such a board is Just recog-
milton OF one Of the worlds greatest in
ventors. He has long been called the
wizard Of electricity. While naturally
gifted, his success has been due to
tireless industry and answering per
severance. Gladly accepting the honor
and the responsibility, he Immediately
proposed that department Of expert
mentation be established, in which
men will work with definite ends in
view. Mr.. Edison has shown the ad'
vantage OF this kind OF work in the
electrical realm and in improvements
on the phonograph. There are two
kinds Of inventions. One might be
called inspirational, since they come
apparently by accident. They are
more in the nature OF discoveries than
inventions. Others come only after
dilligent efforts to overcome plain de-
Iects or to supply long-lel wants. The
original steam engine is an example
Of the first kind. The cotton gin is a
striking example Of the latter kind
Naval needs at present require the
second kind Of invention. Fulton in
vented the submarine, but many sue
cessors have successfully striven 10
improve it. The Wright brothers in
vented the aeroplane, but yesterdays
dispatches tell Of a German improve
ment, a triplane, which will carry
twenty men and several machine guns.
The submarine has reached a degree
Of efficiency which is astonishing. Sub,
marine destroyers have not kept pace
The son Of John Hays Hammond has
invented a way Of controlling boats at
a long distance by means Of wireless.
The Yumors oil inventions for producing
explosions from a distance are so in
sstent that we shall not be surprised
to learn OF their success. There are
numerous other devices which would
be Of incalculable advantage to the
nation monopolizing them. The United
States, which has surpassed all other
nations in inventions, should be vigilant
in devising all possible means Of offence
and defense, so long as there is any
possibility Of its being involved in the
great conflict which now engrosses the
attention Of the other leading nations
Of the world. So far as general pre-,
paredness is concerned, the United
States would cut sorry figure beside
nations whose resources OF population
and wealth are insignificant. It's high
time that It does something to equalize
! matters. Globe Democrat.

The western revenue district OF
Missouri wants to be shown. In
1915 the people OF that district
paid $533,952 more in war taxes"
than they did in 1914. They do not
believe the second year OF the Wilson
Administration was worth that much
more to them.

When Mr. Bryan left the State
Department he took with him the
desk which he and many Of his pre-
decessors had used. 1t will make a
valuable addition to the collection Of
souvenirs which he has accumulated
since 1896 and which connect his
thoughts with the political disasters Of
his career. He wants this desk be-
cause upon it he signed the numer-
Gus so,called peace treaties" with
which he stalked the Nobel prize.
But even more interesting, in the near
future at least, wauld be the desk Up
on which he drafted the single-term
plank Of the Baltimore platform.

James J. Hill, a man Of ggaa. wealth

Of the Underwood Tariff and the re.

quoted as having recently said:
There IS nothing in sigh! going to

INSTITUTE AFFAIRS,

The matter of reducing the appro- of the New Britain Institute was considered at the annual meeting last evening and the whole condition of affairs was gone over with Mayor Quigley who is a member ex officio of the board of directors. He did not say what the city might do but it is said he was favorably impressed with the made concerning the needs of the institution. A reference was made some time ago as to contem- plated improvements on the Institute grounds and it Is possible that an inC- pression may have been gained by the people that the money appropriated by the city was used to meet such ex penses. If there Is any such impress sion there is no reason for 1t because there hasn't been dollar of the c1tE's money used for any expense incident to the mana cement of the Institute, except for books and such expense as belongs to the library proper. The 1n- stitute has fund of it's own and 1t is from this that the repairs on the building and grounds are paid for and the balance of the annual income if there is any is used to better equip the library for the excellent work 1t is doing The common council eNi- dently did not know this when it took the ax to the estimates because the mayor says he does not think that there was any desire to cripple the In stitute in it's work, although that is what has been done by cutting off so much from the usual appropriation.
 The annual report shows that the demands upon the library are in creasing and all know that means ad- ditional expense if the demands are to be granted and if New Britain is to live up to its reputation and continue it's work along the lines of education they should be granted. Every per son with any reasoning power at all knows that to do 1t will require more money and it is up to the city to sup ply it. If it does not do so then there is only one alternative and that is to curtail the activities of the institu- tion. It will not be to the city's cred- it if 1t allows that to be done.

ANARCHISTS CONVICTED.

jury after deliberating on the evil dence for almost six hours yesterday voted to convict Abarno and Carbone two anarchists for placing a bomb in St. Patricks cathedral in New York and the two men now face a sentence from twelve and one-half to twenty five years in prison. The jury ap peared to be in doubt as to the part the detective played in the case and asked the court if he was justified in purchasing the material for the bomb and aiding and abetting in it's manu- facture. The judge answered that under the circumstances the law does not regard such a man as an accom- plice, because of the absence Of crln- tnal intent. If the officer is acting to prevent crime, the law permits him to take proper measures even though he apparently is aiding and abetting.
 This is a point about which there has been much discussion because IL seemed as if the two men were led, into the bomb business by the dectec- five. but the explanation of the judge is along the line given in other cases of similar import. The anarchists in New York do not like the verdict of the jury or the explanation of the judge They wanted the detective convicted as the arch conspirator and when their wishes were not gratif1ed they cried out shame! shame!" in the court room while the prisoners wept. Those young fellows will now have an opportunity to think over the foolish work in which they were en- gagged. It must be apparent to them and to their associates that they can not gain anything by throwing bombs They can destroy human life and pro pcrty in this way but that will not help them. They will now be obliged to give the best years of their life TOT an offense which could not possibly help them and which was calculated to kill or if not to naim people who had never harmed them nor would not if they could. Force can never ac- complish anything in this country and those who try it will either pay for ,t with their lives or by long periods in prison.
