A Tariff Look Ahead
(From the Boston Transcript)

A treasury deficit great and in
crossing may compel a Democratic
revision of the tariff before 1917.
Journals friendly to the Wilson Bryan
administration persist in reporting
that correction OF certain sched-
ules OF the Simmons Underwood law
is being quietly considered in Wash
ington. and that it is already as
sured that sugar will not 60 wholly

sugar revenue is needed. and the ef-
feet of free trade, not so much upon

ing veritable nightmare TO poll

House majority shrink from 140 to 81

The Simmons Underwood tariff was
a minority law when it was passed

of portion of it is highly creditable
to his political common sense. This
is more easily said than done, how
ever. Louisiana is not the only
Democratic State that is in revolt
against the ancient Bourbon eX-
pedient of tariff for revenue only, and
If the tariff issue were once broached
in Congress there would be an eX-

ZIONIST Democrats-which is to say
all Louisiana and many northern
might combine with the
Republicans to force through an en-
tirely new tariff law that would be
anathema to the orthodox Wilson
Bryan following.
There is grave danger for the ad-
ministration, whichever course is
faced. It is manifest that the exist
ing so-called tariff for revenue only
is not wanted by the American people
even though its logical consequences
are partially lessened or obscured by
I the great world-war. But an effort to
revise its most palpable defects by the
administration forces in the new
Congress next year would involve al

Our honor, our dignity and our self
respect will compel us to do all we
can to bring Germany to terms by
force. We shall not be in the posi-
tion Of Japan. Japan went to war
for the sole purpose of eliminating
Germany as colony holder in the
Far East. Her field of operations was
local and self-limited. We shall have
appealed to arms to right a wrong

repel an aggression in our own
hemisphere, Our cause of war will
have been worldwide in character
/ and we shall have TO accept the gage
thrown down by Germany in any and
every sphere of operations in which
our forces can meet hers.
Whether we consider the minor
problem of Intervention in Mexico or
| the major problem of a clash with
Germany our need of immediate prep
aration is obvious. We are far
weaker in a military sense than we
ought to be. and not a day should be
lost in making good our deficiencies.

AS for the army. its inadequacies
are painfully manifest In his last
report the Secretary of War said that
when the coast defences were man

the forts on the Isthmus of Panama
fully garrisoned. we should have in
this country a mobile army of 24,60.
"a body little more than twice the
size of this city's police force.
The Secretary asked Congress tC
increase the mobile army by 25.00l
men. But Congress paid no attention
to his recommendation. He alsC
pointed out that we had a reserve
army of only sixteen men and tina
the organized militia formed an in
adequate third line. whose full
strength could not be mobilized in al

In Mr., Garrison's judgment tn
