NEED TO ORGANIZE
Hard Work Ahead for Republican
Party.
Election Next Year Evidently Is to Be
a Keen Contest-Some Factors That
Are in Favor of Demo-
cratic Success.

1t seems now that the Republicans
are not to have the walkover next
year that was indicated six or eight
months ago. Reports from all parts
of the country tell the same story,
that President Wilson is stronger to-
day than at any period of his admin
istration. II the Republicans are to
win their way back to power the cam
paign of education must be broadened
and prosecuted with vigor and the
work of organization must be begun
without loss of time.
A year in advance of the nomina-
ton. with great events moving swift
~, is too early for serious considera-
ton of candidates. but none too soon
to appeal for a renewal of allegiance
to the economic principles which the
Republican party represents. Not for
getting the sad results of the admin
istration's lack of policy toward Mex
leo. it must be presumed that its chief
weakness is the Underwood tariff law.
that has made a vacuum in the Treas
ury which the income tax and the spe-
cial war tax have been unable to hll-
Its greatest strength lies in the policy
that has thus far preserved the ma
tion's honor and yet kept it out of
the European war Signs of the mo-
ment are that the administration. in
spite of itself, will be forced to act
in Mexico and make amends for it's
past sins of omission Should this
come about, with no vital change in
our European relations, the great is
sue of the battle of 1916 will be eco
nomic, with only popular approval of
the Presidents policies to be depended
upon to Offset the blight of the tariff
law upon the nations prosperity. For
the parties are likely to strike an even
balance if response is necessary to a
demand for preparedness for national
defense. In the event, however, that
election day should find the country
at war with Mexico, this would neces-
sarily be another factor in favor of
a victory for President Wilson.

What 1t Means to Farmers.

The beauties of free trade are well
illustrated by the present meat sup
ply and prices. During the ten
months preceding May l the imports
of meat and dairy products into the
United States were three times as
great as in like period two years
ago. This means that the American
farmer has been deprived of his home
market to the extent of more than
SIS 900, 900, and the consumer has paid
not a cent less than he would have
paid if the American farmer had been
allowed to supply his home product.
1t means also that the clothing manu-
facturer, the furniture man and other
business men have been deprived of
the farm trade to practically the cx-
tent of this S25 100000; for had the
farmer received the money he would
have spent it at home. 1t all means
simply that Argentine farmers and
manufacturers are using this S25,000,-
900 that otherwise we should have
been enjoying in the United States.
The farmer is surely not the man who
is benefited by free trade.-Dover

Tariff in Politics.

So long as public opinion is deeply
and widely divided on the issue of
protection, so long that issue must be
in politics Men who believe a low
tariff is ruinous to the country are
not going to elect Congressman who
will enact that sort of tariff. Men
who believe the tariff is a tax on con-
sumption several times as large as the
revenue secured by the government.
and ought In the interest of the whole
country to be as low as revenue con-
siderations permit. cannot be expected
to vote for such candidates for Con-
gress as the American Economist
would approve
And so the tariff is in politics, and
1t is likely to remain in politics.-Ex-

SOME HINTS FOR BUILDERS
Great Care Should Be Taken In SeIec-
ton of the Most Substantial
Roofing Material.

II you were without preparation or
plan, rudely placed in wilderness,
your first thought would be of food
supply and your next of shelter, for
these are the two most vital necessi-
ties of mankind 1t is therefore
natural that the best thought, and
study are put upon these two essen
tials.
More forward steps have been
taken in the building industry in the
past fifteen years, as regards comfort.
service and architectural beauty than
In the fifty years previous.
Only in recent years has the hand
ling of cement in building work been
understood properly, and progress is
still constantly being made with it.
Modern hotels and office buildings
are being equipped with sheet metal
mouldings and steel veenered doors.
Nearly every important change In
building construction is away from
the fire hazard of wood.
One of the most significant develop
ments of recent years is the crushed
slate surfaced asphalt shingle which
is. on new construction and old, rapid
ly supplanting the wooden article.
There are many reasons for this. The
slate surfaced shingles add beauty TO
any builfng-in fact, there is really
no comparison from an architectural
standpoint. Crushed slate of pleasing
tints of red or green, is employed as a
surfacing. The shingles are uniform
ly eight inches wide and are exposed
four inches to the weather. No paint
ing is necessary as the red or green
crushed slate is natural and therefore
cannot fade
The purchaser, however, should
guard himself against buying a slate
surfaced single that is not guaran-
teed by a reliable and responsible
manufacturer. There are SO many
kinds of roofing and shingles on the
market today each claiming to be the
best that it becomes necessary for the
buyer to get some satisfactory assur-
ance that the roofing or shingles are
represented honestly

Important National Gathering.

Committee, during a conference with
former Collector William F. Stone.
Mr.. Reynolds came to Baltimore and
had luncheon with Mr.. Stone, who is
sergeant-at-arms of the Republican Ma
tional Committee. His visit here fol-
lowed a conference he held in New
