LIVES ARE TOO PRECIOUS.

Widespread sympathy will go out to that New London family in which six year old child lost its life from burns received while playing about a bonfire of leaves in the street. It only required few minutes to receive the fatal burns as the result of misstep or the child losing it's balance, but it nevertheless points to the danger which always exists at such times. {.
 There is a lesson to be drawn from this sad affair which ought not to be disregarded. Playing with or about a fire ic a perilous pastime, yet at this season of the year when the leaves or other materials are being assembled to be burned there is no greater at- traction for the cllc:-d-.en. They like to see the flames and the smoke and they like to take part in adding the fuel They. are eager to stir up a blaze when there is none and there are not a few who like to take chances by jumping through the fires or playing with the embers which sooner or later leads up to just such distressing af- fairs as that at New London.
 Too much care cannot Do used therefore in keeping children away from bonfires, or at least at a safe distance. Many may hesitate to damp en their enthusiasm or to check their play but it is a case where it is far preferable to be safe than to be sorry. Lives are too valuable to have them sacrificed in such a manner and it Is unfortunate that such dreadful lessons have to be taught before some are brought to that realization.

boats on the open ocean. There of course happened to be a smooth sea and no lives were lost. but 1t was nevertheless jeopardizing those lives unnecessarily. It was taking chance which was not warranted by the ad- vantage which was to be obtained by sinking that ship for it was not carry ing contraband and the military bene- fit was therefore lacking in its de- struction.
 This imposition of a new danger at our very gates must naturally call for resentment. In this connection the Philadelphia Ledger well asks. Does the emperor believe that with the mem ory of the Lusitania still fresh in our minds with that crime against Arneri- can citizens still unatoned for we can sit tanely by and see a like instrument of destruction work it's will in our own waters? He and his advisers must be in a desperate frame of mind to run the risk, at the very moment when defeat stares them in the face, of adding one more to the list of Ger many'S enemieS.'

POLITICAL
We Must Have Protection.

The public attention may be held for time by this issue or that issue, but the one issue that can never be put into the background is the cariff. The fictitious prosperity of the pres ent should deceive no one. The Eu- ropean war, which is the sole cause of that prosperity, { is approaching it's end. When it is concluded the ab- normal demand for American products will cease, not instantly but rapidly. The nations engaged in the great con- flict will at once begin to concentrate all their powers upon rehabilitation. They will endeavor to the utmost to supply their own needs, to restore their commerce. and to pay the enOr- nous indebtedness they have incur red. To this end, or these ends, they will buy as little as they can. It is supreme folly to imagine that they will or can do anything else. The mo- ton that their necessities will com pei them to continue to buy prod1- giously from us is founded upon a vain hope. Such necessities, if they exist, will be but temporary. They would not go on pouring out money to us if they could, and they could not if they would.
 On the contrary, their policy will be one of rigid economy within and of pushing sales to the utmost with out The capture of the greatest cash market in tho world will be their special aim. Nowhere else than here can the gold they will so badly need be acquired with facility. That the United States will be the dumping ground for the surplus products of all the fighting nations cannot be reason- ably questioned. The reelection of Woodrow Wilson would mean four more years with the bars down, four more years with the gates open for the entry of European cheap labor pro- ducts in competition with ours. Who can imagine q continuation of pros perity under such conditions? Gold would pour out of this country in a continuous stream Factories through out the land would close down, unable to compete with the foreign nsanu- facturers. Labor would be thrown out of employment;' prices of farm pro ducts would go down to unproftable figures, and business of all kinds would suffer to the extreme. The only possible preventive of such a calamitous consummation is Q tariff that will protect us from the flood of Europe, and the only way to estab- fish such protection is by the restor- ation of a Republican government which makes protection it's fundamen- tai principle. = St. Louis Globe Democrat.

harvest, of Democratic rule at the White House in both Houses of Con- gross.
 It is useless for Democratic lead CTS to attempt to attribute this bond issue to the steps taken for national preparedness for defence. As pointed out in the minority report of the Sen ate Finance Committee on the revenue bill, the expenditures authorized for preparedness cannot be placed at more than S390,00G. poo. But the appropri- ations at this session of Congress ag- Sregate $1,700,0 900, 900, compared with $1, ,1l4. 100000 for the fiscal year 1916; so that if this $390, 1000, GOO for prepar- edness were aded to the staggering to- tai of last years appropriations there might this year be warrant for a total appropriation on the preparedness basis of about s1.500, ,0O0,0 ,0O9, though that would be without any regard whatever for the Democratic party's promise in the Baltimore platform of return in public administration to that simplicity and economy which befits a democratic government" A glance at the figures shows that if rein had not been given to the wild est extravag agance there would still have been provisions, with all the ex- tra taxation which has been imposed upon the business of the country for this promenade on the border without bond issue.-Boston Transcript.

Will Never Be Without
 This Simple Laxative
Dr.. Ca1dtOel1's Syrup Pepsin RelieUed Her Baby When
 Nothing Else Would

Little Max Pendergrast is now four years old, and fine, healthy boy. When but a tiny baby, in fact almost from birth, he suffered a great deal from constipation. His mother, Mrs. Carl W. Pendergrast, Red Key, Ind, heard of Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin, obtained a bottle of it from the drug store, and with it was able to quickly correct this condition.
 Mrs. Pendergrast says Dr. Caldwell S Syrup Pepsin has saved them from calling the doctor many times. and that she will never be without a bot tie of it in the house 10 use when needed. She found it equally effective as a laxative for herself and other members of the family.
 Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin is a, combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, pleasant to the taste, mild in action and positive in effect. It does not gripe or strain, and contains no opiate or narcotic drug. It is the ideal family laxative, mild and pleas ant for baby, yet acting quickly on the strongest constitution.

SINKING THE NEUTRAL DUTCH
 BRIGHTER,
Judge of Probate, NELSON j. ATLING.

In connection with the sinking of the half dozen merchant ships off Man. tucket, Manager Van Doorn of the Holland-American line to which the Bloomeridjl1 belonged is at a loss to understand why that vessel was seized and sunk and in view of the facts in the case he has reason to be.
 The Bloomeridjk flies a neutral flag It is engaged in commerce between neutral nations. It was carrying at the time cargo which consisted of 95 per cent. wheat valued at a half million dollars which was owned, bought and paid for by the Nether- lands government, the remainder con- sisting of automobiles and accessor- ies which were consigned to the Meth erlands Overseas Trust Holland has a right to purchase such supplies and the fact that other nations are en- gagged in war does not give them the right to destroy the property of a neutral as was done in this case. This Dutch ship was not carrying contra band to any one of the allies. It was engaged in trade that was legitimate and from which none would be likely to benefit more than Germany if by any chance such goods as it was car- rying should in turn be disposed of outside the country The fact, how ever that the cargo was the property of the Holland government ought to give assurance against that. The case Is far different than that of the Nor wegian ship which was carrying sup- plies to England and there are req sons to believe that Holland has every reason to frame a protest and de- mand reparation.

"Mr. and Mrs. George Hyde are re- ceiving congratulations upon the birth of son, born June 27th." X The above notice appeared in coun- try paper of a recent date. 4
 And now the momentous question arose, What shall the baby be named?"
 Little Mrs. Hyde had a name all se.- lected beforehand. She (the baby) mothers, Mary (sweetest of all names, for Grandma Vinton, and "Eliz- abeth" for Grandma Hyde.
 "Oh" exclaimed little Mrs. Hyde's cousin Dorothy, why do you not have a new-fashioned name like Dorothy" Doris eMeredythe,' or something pret- tier than these old-fashioned names? ?'
 However. little Mrs. Hyde was firm; she said Mary Elizabeth it should be, and then neither granmother would be offended or think I have shown any partiality."
 But. when the stork arrived and left boy, another name had to be thought of-of course that fact was obvious.
 Young MT Hyde then pus in a word. He said. T think I might have a voice in this matter, at least be permitted to make a suggestion"
 "Oh!" exclaimed another cousin, do not have any old fashioned names. Earle is pretty name, or Harold or 'Royar-yes Royal would be f1ne!"
 f'Nix on the Royal" responded the young father, "and have my son nick named Raw? How would that sound? Raw Hyde No siree! no name that can be nickramed. l want my baby named for some good man, and maybe my son will turn out to be a good man."
 That is a worthy conclusion" said Grandma Hyde.
 'Name him for someone who has money and perhaps you will not be sorry suggested another.
 Lets draw lots and sec who shall be the one to name him." suggested still another.
 ''No.' said the little mother, that would be gambling"
 "Oh no! There's no money in this,'' said MT. Hyde.
 Wel., it fell to his lot to name the baby.

STORIES OF THE WAR
"Tank" Takes TangIe.

A fight to finish between tank and the tangle was the outstanding and dramatic feature of the capture of Le Sars by the British and their advance in that neighborhood.
 The ''tangle' was a good example Of the methods of defense that the Ger n3ans are using now that they are out of their old Notifications It was a strong point, with a maze of dugouts reinforced by concrete, which had been specially constructed as a rallylng point at which machine guns could play on the infantry on both flank and front Shells of the largest ~calibre were unable s1 put all the machine guns out of action.
 Clearly this job was for a tank said British staff officer, and one of the worst ever attacked. No rush of any torpedo destroyer under the gurs of a hattleshii, no cavalry charge on record was more gallant, daring or picturesque.'
 Since the taking of EaUcourt PAbbaye British bombing parties had made many rushes into the tangle and the Germans had met showers Of bombs wiEl showers of their own. The fire had smashed much of the cement, making the advance for tine infantry all the more difficult in the midst Of the bewifderng turns of the maze. Neither bullets nor bombs could harm the tank, but it was bound to be un- der heavy shell fire. For the com mander and crew it was death or suc- cess. Dexterous as the tank is in moving over all kinds of obstacles, it is uncertain whether His Majesty s landship, as the official title goes, could navigate the tangle.
 With the peculiar grurbling and rumbling noise it makes as 1t goes over the shell craters. the tank started off Shells dropped all around it, cov- ering it with earth, but it seemed to up to that ruined fertilization, man aged to cross over the upheaval of cement blocks and blazed its own machine guns into theN dugouts and into the German machine gun posi- tions.
 Meanwhile the German gunners in the rear, having sighted a tank, pro- posed to smash it if it was in the power of their guns to do so. The tank seemed to draw all kinds of fire, and at times was hidden by shell smoke and dust from explosions. But every time the pail raised it. could be seen moving over the craters made by the shells aimed at it with bullets side. Its business was to clear the tangle and it succeeded.
 The British maintained their posi- ton gained in front of Le Sars. They are close to another German strong point which the British gunners have named the gunner's delight" This is Butte de Warlencourt, a sort of tu : mulus which is an ideal target. The gunners have torn the top off it and blasted it out of anything like it's former contour on the skyline.

GxTRAvAeANT AND INEFFICIENT

While so much is being said by the democrats about prosperity it is in teresting to note that Senator Sher- man of Illinois refers to the fact that we have "a free trade tariff act with out any permanent trade, a revenue tariff act without any revenue and a war tax without any war;" and he further says the normal condition of the national finances with the dem ocratic party in power is bankruptcy" And the conditions today in this coun- try back him up. t i-
 It is interesting to note that while the democrats are pointing to the bus mess revival which has resulted from the war and the filling of orders from the belligerent countries of Europe, the indebtedness of the country is steadily piling up. There have been repealed certain sections of the demo- cratic tariff in order to obtain more revenue. There have been imposed upon the country all sorts of taxes, income, inheritance, munitions and yet the revenue obtained is not sufficient to meet the needs. Instead of pro- viding for tariff that would yield suf- ficient revenue the democrats have failed to obtain enough despite the federal taxation and it has been nec- essary to issue bonds to relieve the situation. Our imports have increased but our revenue has decreased and for the first three months of the fiscal year there is shown treasury deficit of $5S, 100000
 The democratic administration in stead of furnishing the economy and efficiency that was promised so faith fully before taking office is in reality furnishing a glaring example of ex- travagance and inefficiency.

oSBoRNE'S RESIGNA-
 TON.

= For a long time it has been evident that Thomas Mott Osborne has not been entirely satisfied with the re- stricted results of his wardenship at Sing Sing prison. He has experi- enced serious handicaps in the admin istration of his duties as he believes they should be administered and it has been apparent that there were many who were anxious to point to the failure of his plan and say T told you so."
 For that reason less surprise is oc- casioned by his action in sending his resignation to the superintendent of prisons than as if he had been sup- ported on every hand in all the ideas which he had advanced for prison re- form. That he had reached the point where he could not tolerate longer the opposition that was continually manifesting itself against him is re- vealed by his letter to Superintend- ent Carter in which he takes the op- portunity of airing his criticisms of what he considers the failure to give him square deal.
 That he has felt it necessary to take this step will cause sincere regret among the many who have become in terested in his methods of prison re- form. Whether they would ultimate ly prove to be a success or a failure it was felt that they should be given a full and fair trial It has been con sidered that the merits of reform measures should be fully brought out for a decision one way or the other, and certainly if he had been trusted to introduce them he ought to have been
  seen him through. For that reason, if nothing else. there will be sincere re- gret that he has felt it necessary to taI4a the cO11rSe which he has

THE NEW TERRORISM.

Uncertainty prevails and it is bound to continue to as long as there is a possibility of the continuance of the submarine warfare just outside of the three-mile limit of this country. There is involved a serious impeachment to American trade and no little danger to the lives of those who may be aboard the vessels attacked.
 This is revealed both in the sinking of the neutral Dutch freighter and in the sinking of the passenger ship Stephano, which. though it was car rying the British flag. was plying be- tween ports On this side of the Atlan- tic. There were more than a hundred men, women and children aboard that ship as passengers who were forced to leave the ship and take to small

And Now the Bond Issue.

Democratic government at Washing ton generally results in two things soup houses and bond issues. As the effect of the Underwood tariff, we should certainly have had the soup houses if the European war had not 1ntervened-anG now we have the bond issue. With ordinary receipts of the government for the year ended June 90, 1917, estimated at SIPS, 900 .-the largest in the countrys history and with s205, 900, 900 of increased taxation, the government is compelled to call for authority to increase the public debt to the extent of S130, ,000,- 900; and this issue will carry the mob
