PASS AROUND THE BENEFITS
Policy of Protection Should Be Made
of Value to Worker as Well
as Employer.

The boosters Of protective tariff
should be forced to make good their
promises of it's benefits to laborer and
consumer, says the New Republic.
LET us assume that the representa-
tive heads of great industry appear
before the committee on ways and
means (or before tariff commission

man not ask them for definite state
ment of the ameliorations which in
creased tariff rates would enable them
to make in the condition of their en-
ployers?

the discussion. In the end the grant
of higher duties could be made con-
ditional upon definite minimum wage
standards, or at least the establish
ment of regional wage boards empow-
cred to determine minimum wages.
Similarly, certain standards regarding
hours of labor, workmen's compensa-
ton, arbitration of industrial disputes,
safeguarding dangerous machinery,
and the like, might be stipulated.
Women workers could be guaran-
teed conditions of labor that would
preserve them for their future func-
tions as wives and mothers. There
would seem to be no reason whatever
for the employment of children of ten
der years in industries enjoying the
special favors of government, and any
industry which sought higher tariff
rates without cleansing its hands in
this regard, or pledging such cleans
ing within a short period, should be
forced out of the committee room
without ceremony"

Chance for Progression.

It has always been said of our bust.
ness and Of our banking that it was
too provincial. It now has a chance
to break the shelf Of provincialism.
Our bankers can prove their intelli-
gent ability to become real merchants
in credit instead Of mere conductors
of a brokerage traffic In accommoda-
tion. Our business men can demon
strate their capacity to take world
view of trade by relying no longer
on having business brought to them.

New Role for Root.

Women Are often Victims Of Nervous
ness Because They Don't Know
How to Relax.

One of the important things to know
In life. especially If you are woman
is how to let yourself alone, writes
Mary Carolyn Davies in the Mothers
Magazine. The ability to relax, the
art of being judiciously lazy. the tact
to let herself alone has saved many
woman from a nervous breakdown.
We all know the housewife who nags
herself into such a state Of copscten-
tiousness that she cannot rest. sf she
lies down she is continually worrying
herself with thoughts of the work that
she is neglecting.
Much of the blame for this state o.
affairs lies at the doors OF the moth
ers. The mistake is in their training
of their children, especially their
daughters. They are taught from ear
Hest infancy to be kind to others, to
bear with them, to forgive them, to
help them; but from birth to death no
one ever tells them to be kind, also.
to themselves.
The woman who nags herself can
make herself more miserable than any
one else possibly could. She can make
her life more Of nightmare than any
misfortune could possibly make it. II
such women could learn to be kinder
to themselves there Is no doubt that
their own lives would be heightened;
and not only that, but the lives Of
those with whom they come in close
contact would be made far more pleas

"Your lordship, this gentleman is
Mr.. Johnson" announced the agent.
Lord Clavering rose slowly out of
his chair and bowed. Johnson no
ticed that it did not occur to him to
extend his hand. The old man, with
his white, flowing beard and flashing
eyes, his bowed shoulders and sense
of being one with the historic past of
his race, presented pitiful spectacle.
"Sit down, sir" said Lord Clavering
"Mr. JONES'" he added, to the agent,
will you please call Lady Elinor?"
But 1t was not necessary for the
agent to stir, for at that moment there
came into the room the most beautiful
girl that Johnson had ever seen.
This gentleman is Mr.. Johnson"
said Lord Clavering to his daughter,
and Lady Elinor bowed. Again John
son noticed that it did not occur to her
to extend her hand.
The agent cleared his throat. Hum!

The Most Beautiful Girl That johnson
Had Ever Seen.

Ship" he said. II am making this
statement by your WISH
1T is the only condition upon which
I will consent to sell Mr.. Johnson my
estate" answered Lord Clavering.
The agent cleared his throat again.
"Mr. Johnson" he began, when you
announced your desire to purchase
his iordship's Scottish estate. then in
the market. you understood that Lord
Clavering was only disposing OF it
under strong necessity"
Johnson bowed.
His lordship has lived here all his
life. He has no other home. His lord
ship sells only on the understanding
that you permit him and his daughter
to occupy the lodge at your gates"
Johnson stared at the agent and
felt the blood dye his face. He had
not understood that Lord Clavering
was so poor, though he knew that his
debts were heavy enough to eat up
the price Of the sale. He half regret
ted having been inclined to purchase.
1t DIS one thing for young Chicago
man of seven and twenty to decide
to buy Scotch estate with the money
left by his Scotch father, always eager
to return to the land of his ancestors,
and dying before the wish could be
realized. But it is another matter to
discover that the dream can be
achieved only by causing sorrow to
others.

Lady Elinor will remain here as my
guests until-until-" he went on
vaguely, and came to standstill.
How long? Was he intending to in

Clavering harshly. IF l sell to Mr..
Johnson we occupy the lodge"
"But the--the lack of dignity"
urged the agent.

heartily. And I hope that"
"Mr. Johnson will find the castle va

the old man. And now, II you are

He turned to the agent with final

Their argument.
One month later Johnson came into
possession Of the castle. His fathers
acquired wealth enabled him to supply
a staff Of servants and to keep up his
position as the new lord Of the estate.
And It was singularly lonely life that
unveiled itself before him.
To begin with, he discovered that
the tenants regarded him as an in
terloper He had not anticipated that.
In his country, when one bought an
estate the goodwill of the neighbors
went with It as a matter OF course.
Then there was Lord Clavering at
the gate. It CALLED the young man to
see the farmer, who passed him with
an uncomprehending stare, raise his
cap to the gatekeeper. And Johnson
began to understand something Of the
pride which permitted the old man to

killed Instantly.
Both towns were in darkness seve-
