FOR A NON-PARTISAN TARIFF
BOARD

SENATOR POlNDEXTER has introduced a bill
~ in congress. providing for a non-partisan
tariff board. II is move in the right direction.
1t Is high time to take the tariff and all other
economic, industrial and social legislation questions
out of the hands of political ward heelers.
You will find ranged against the non-partisan
tariff board the same Shiny interests that are against
non-partisanship in city, county and state elections.
They live and thrive on blind partisanship.
They wax fat on ward politics, on befuddling
the public mind with any sort OF false issue. They
don't want measures discussed on their merits
rather than on the political party lines Of their
sponsors.
Non-partisansTiip will kill off many golden
goose for many slick politicians. But Senator
Poindexer is on the right track, and there are thou
sands upon thousands, yes. some millions, who
are ready to accept the Poindexter idea.

THE CHEERFUL SECRETARY

TT HE weren't good for anything else, Secretary
of Commerce Redfield is worthy of his hire as
strong hand at hoping for the best. America is,
in 1915 going 10 break all world records as to ex-
ports and is going TO keep right on doing 1t, says
Redfied. For several years, peace or war, foreign
nations have got to come to us for steel, cotton,
machinery, railroad stock and other supplies and,
consequently, the u. S boom is going to continue
to boom.
Maybe Redfied is right. Maybe the theory
that war is always waste and loss the world over is
wrong AT any rate, this war has already laid
away in its little grave most every other theory APP
pertaining to war. Ordinary theory, custom, prac-
tce and proceedings are as dead as international
law If there is theory that still stands on in
fallibe legs, it's that hasn't yet been tested by
this war.
We may reap the prosperity, II we seize the
opportunity But opportunity doesn't knock, open
the door, enter and pull any fellow out OF bed.

have earned him a reputation through
OUT the country.
Moreland both makes the statement
that jennings was a faster and bet
ter baserunner than Cobb and fur
nishes the facts and figures TO prove
what he says As an example he gives
Cobb's best record of scoring 147
runs in 146 games. whereas in 1895
Jennings gave his team 1853 runs in
13l games.
For five consecutive years Jcn-
nings was able 10 score an average Of
