N A EN- Of the most diverse views and
lvl interests united In wishing TO give
the country not only political but
also economic independence.
Mr.. Clay urged that IT ought 10 be put
into position to develop every resource
that could serve II or make IL powerful
In time OF war.
The duties imposed were not high
twenty-five per cent upon cotton an
WOODEN goods. and upon other manufac-
iured goods In proportion.
But the duties on cottOns and woolens
were made very formidable. as 1t turned
out, by provision that In no case should
they amount 10 less than Sid cents a
yard
At the very outset that represented a
tax OF more than . per cent on the
coarse goods which the Southern planters
bought for the use OF their slaves: and
as the process Of manufacture cheap
ened this fixed minimum represented, OF
course. a larger and larger fraction OF
the price
II was pretty sure in the end TO be-
come an effectual barrier against all for
eign competition.
The men who planned these things saw
also the danger OF mere development. the
risk in growth itself. unless the country
with its long coast and scattered settle
ments. spreading more and more upon
the unlimited spaces OF the great CONT
nent. were in some way bound together
by easy means of intercourse and union.
II had been found next to impossible
to handle armies in the northern forests
during the war. or in the long wilderness
which lay upon the Lower Mississippi
between the Atlantic settlements and the
Gulf: difficult to handle them anywhere
at the heart OF the country. even amidst

or any open way of transport except
where rivers or the lakes themselves lay
ike highways.
The troops had been time and again
likely TO starve, not because there was
not food enough to be had upon the order
Of the government. but because 1t could
not be got to them.

Some irresponsible person with more magma
ton than intelligence spread the report-ridcu-
lous on the face of it-that Lord Kitchener was
on his way to quell some mythical uprising in
India. And 10! On the morrow's morn every
newspaper in the United States was ringing with
the news. Editorials were written about it and
Offices ransacked for photographs left from
the Durbar, and people with third cousins in In
da were asked to make statements about it. 1t
is all canard, of course Not word OF truth
in it. But think OF the thrill we all had! Let US
pause to reflect upon the energy and discernment
of the press.

Mr.. Taft says he is for Mr.. Root as the Re-
publican candidate for President, as "the one man
who answers the requirements of the times "
If Mr.. Root answers them, surely Mr.. Taft does,
too, and with some advantages that cannot be
claimed for the brilliant New Yorker.

Berlin newspaper says "The American note
contains the statement that the United States as
sumes without hesitation the role Of defender OF
the rights OF neutrals This is a brilliantly chosen
and incontestable standpoint Only results will
show, however. whether this proud declaration
will correspond in deed with the energy of its
words" What we expected to do? Go to
the extreme length that marked our course when
us American on the Lusitania were murdered?
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1915-11-12

Time runneth heetly on his course, and powerful
States decay
Forts, Temples. noble Palaces, in ruin fall away;
The Sage, the King, the Warrior, are fallen into
dust;
Wars instruments of potency lie impotent in rust;
But Love, and Human Sympathy, today remain as
fair
AS when from Heaven first they sprang to ease
our need of care.

The British authorities have barred from the
mails going to India copies OF Mr.. BryanS article
on British Rule in India" These copies contain
the statement that the article was written by the
author "as Secretary of State" and Mr. Bryan
says he doesn't know who is trying to send them
10 India. One guess however will be enough for
most other persons.

Joy Of Work.
BY JOHN ID. R4RRY.

There are certain kinds of work that seem
to me. particularly attractive. Some of them are
honored by the world, and some of them are
not, Those people that work out of doors. fer ex-
ample, are, in a way, to be envied. They live in
healthy conditions. II they take reasonable care
of themselves they are sure to thrive There must
be an exhilaration in spending day after day in
the fresh air.
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1915-11-12

Then, there is creative work Those who make
their living in this way enjoy great privilege.
Under their eyes they see things grow 1t makes
no great difference whether the things are ma
terial or mental or spiritual The gardener is to
be envied, the manager of great enterprise, the
carpenter, the writer in fact, all the workers in
the arts.

1t is good news, if true, that local street car
Company has solved the problem of ventilation.
1t is to be hoped, too, that the system makes
it impossible for either the conductors or the
enemies of fresh air among the travelling public
to exclude it from the cars.

In view Of the number OF fires in manufacturing
plants that producing material for the allies
it is a reasonable conclusion that the machinery
upon which Dumba and Won Papen relied for the
carrying out of their plan to cripple our indus

what surprising, however, that this should be pos
sibe after this government was so emphaticaIly
warned.

There is work so interesting, so appealing that
1t often results in overwork. Many scientific men
and scholars work virtually all the time We never
hear them complaining: Occasionally some one
comes forward and speaks of their wearing their
lives away. In one fashion or another we all
wear our lives away. As the proverb says, it is
better to wear them out than to rust out There
is no way that compare with service

1t is amusing to hear the lovers OF COMPETE
ton lamenting over the tendency now increasing
all around us to question the conventional idea
that, without competition. the world would fall
INTO idleness. 1t wouldn't On the contrary, it
would go on not less actively, but more. Unsus-
pected talents would be released. Successful men
IN one kind OF endeavor would become successful
IN other kinds. Unsuccessful men, failures now
regarded with contempt or with pity, would reveal
themselves as men of power

Down the generations the poets have sung OF

Even now there many who work for the
sake OF enjoyment Among these are those who
work hard as they think. for the sake of COM
petition. In every devoted endeavor there is re-
ward in itself But beyond this kind of reward.
there may be another, exactly like the joy of the
artist, related 10 the longing for scI-expression
In my own acquaintance | know several men who.
after the days routine. eagerly begin work on
some other task. But they don't call it a task
They call it a diversion or a hobby
One OF the architects OF the exposition loves
his work so much that he likes to keep il revising
and revising in his struggle toward perfection. 1t
is said that the plans for his building had to be
ruthlessIy taken from his hands 50 that the work
might be quickly finished. And now that the
task is completed, he likes to express to his
friends half-whimSical regret that it has gone
out OF his life. With him il represented a labor
OF love, that he could put his whole heart and
soul into.
Here, after all, is the real goal for every ono
OF u.s. to have the privilege of doing those kinds
of work that devote ourselves to- heart
and soul; Perhaps it is more than privilege
Perhaps it is right. On it is founded the whole
MontesSo system OF education which accepts as
a fact that healthy human beings nstinctively long
TO energize. and that TO give this longing freedom
and development is the best possible service for
the teachers of the young
Meanwhile of course. the disasrecabIc tasks

Surely not.
who is to do them then? Some one must
do therl.'
Suppose each 70 lend hand The
discipline II not too oppressive, would be good
for us all, and it would make us enjoy the volun-
tary work all the more.
Besides, with each doing his share the drudg-
cry would not amount to much.
1t is the doing of drudgery for others, for the
superior ones. and doing it all the time that tries
the souls OF the workers at the base OF the social
structure, that grinds down their spirit and makes
them bitter

Hood River County Pomona Grange
in regular session at McIsaao Hal
unanimously adopted a resolution op-

grangers expressed a grave fear that
the funds, when the time for distri-

community rivalry.
The members of the grange by res

to abolish the toll on the road lead
