First Success of Jim West

In one of the recitation rooms of
Hilton Academy there sat a strong
boy who was a little oyer five feet
high. He was not toolSing over his
book but thinking of tbs next day,
when Hilton was to play st. Eus-
tace. This boys name was Jim West.
Jim was very sad because he tried
very hard to play the position as
pitcher on the Hilton nine. but the
coaches thought that they had found
a better pitcher.
When night came Jim did not sleep
until late. The next afternoon was a
lively one an the Hilton diamond, be-
cause the game with ST, Bustace was
to be played, EveByope at Hilton
was full OF 10y, for tbey thought
that they would be the vtctors. Eli
ton won the toss and took to the
field. The game began. a st. Eus-
tace player hit a fly to the centre
fielder, who dropped the ball. The
next two men reached first and Sec

Adventures of Tom

In the eastern part of ireland there
once lived boy about twelve years
of age named Tom Rafferty,. He was
loved by all the neighbors. especially
by his mother and upcles, because his
Ifather was killed while at his post on
the railroad.
Every day before, school he had to
suffer n beating from one of the
"bullies,' because the teacher pre-
ferred him before the bully.
One day as he was coming home
from school he met his mother and
tried to seem as cheerful as possible,
but anyone after a closer look could
-see that his face was stained with
tears.
The next day as Tom was on his
way to school he thought of some
thing. ACTING on the thought he crept
into the bushes nearby and waited
until he beard the school bell ring. Tie

The Tariff As An Issue

(From the New York WorldD
\ majority of the members of the
republican national committee, ac-
cording to a poll made by the Wash
ington correspondent of The World,
believe the tariff will be the principal
issue in 1915
To the republican organization the
tariff is naturally an appealing issue,
because the industries that demand
extortionate protection will be the
only source of a republican campaign
fund next year But how much of a
popular issue is the tariff likely to
be, and how sharply are the rank and
vile OF the two parties likely to di-
vile?
Until the war has ended and the
belligerent nations have begun their
economic reconstruction, there can be
no intelligent revision of the tariff.
If Elihu Root, Seator Gallinger, Sem
ator Lodge, Senator Penrose, Joseph
G. Cannon. James R. Mann and Sena-
tor Smoot were shut up in a room
and asked to prepare a tariff bill
which would meet all the industrial
and revenue needs of the United
States after the war, they would be
helpless, Senator Underwood, Speak
er Clark and all the democrats who
helped frame the Underwood-S Sim
mons tariff would be equally help
less. Nobody knows;> nobody can
know.
There is a foolish superstition prev
alent that after the war some of the
belllgerents particularly GERMANY
will dump vast quantities of manu-
factured products at very low prices
upon the American people That j.
all guesswork 1t is much mOr=
plausible to assume that the graa;
debt. from the effects Of which every
belligerent must suffer, will make IT
more difficult than ever for them tl

can industries which have gained a

tremendous impulse while Europe
was burning up its capital and
slaughtering its workers This too,
however, is mere assumption.
Before the tariff can be revised in
telligently again, the American peo.
pie will have to discard most Of thei
parochial theories about imports and
face the issue frankly as great
question in world economics. The
United States is now in position to
hold a commanding position in the
worlds trade, but it vii not hold tha.
position long if it attempts to impose
prohibitve duties on foreign imports.
Discriminating tariffs are game
that two can play at. Great Britain
Germany, France, Russia, Italy and
Japan can erect tariff walls as easily
as we can and unquestionably will
if We try to close the American mar
kets to them. 1t is only by trading
with us that they can buy of us. Even
Great Britain will have to revise her
revenue system after the war in or
der to obtain money to pay interest on
her debt, and in the course Of such
revision it will be an easy matter 10
deal a smashing blow at American
industry.
American manufacturers can retain
their trade supremacy If they are
wise, but they will not retain it if
the United States by excessive tariffs
tries to hog the trade of the world
That is the surest way to lose it, All
the tariff laws ever enacted by con-
gress are now so much waste paper
Not one of them is worth a cent as
guide to the revision Of the tariff
that must inevitably result from the
economic readjustment that must fol-
low the war But of all the political
elements that are unfit to be trusted
with tariff revision, the most unfit
is the element that believes in mo-
nopoly schedules for the sake of mo.
nopOly schedules.

A FAIR TRIAL is ASKED

NY the end of the week Pen
~ dleton will again be a dry
town. Some there are who
will speed the exit of the sa-
looms with shouts of Joy and
some there are who will sorrow
at the passing Of John Barley
corn. But regardless of how
they voted on the prohibition
amendment, the great major
ity of local citizens will wish
to see the law enforced.
If the law is a good law strict
enforcement will prove its mer-
its. If it is bad law its de-
fects can only be discovered by
watching it in actual operation.
Contempt and disregard for 1t
will prove nothing for it one
way or the other. A fair trial
is all that its sponsors ask for
it. It's detractors should not
grant it less.
The district attorney has eX-
planned the provisions of the
law through the columns Of the
press and would doubtless fur
nish further information to any
who seek it. There should be
no pleas of ignorance. The
county court has provided a
fund to assist in the detection
and prosecution Of violators
and the officers have announc-
ed their intention of doing
their best to make the prohi-
bition law effective in stopping
the liquor traffic. They are
entitled to the moral support
of every good citizen regard
