GENERATION FOND OF CIDER
Mistake to Assume That Puritans
Wsre Particularly Abstemious in
the Matter of Drinking.

We are apt to think that our Puri-
tan forbears possessed all the virtues
and especially that they were highly
abstemious in the matter of drinking.
But that is not the testimony that
comes down to us from their dining
room appointments, according to Wal
ter A. Dyer's EARLY American Crafts
men,
Drinking vessels of various sorts,
with and without handles, were very
numerous" says Mr.. Dyer. Drink
ing as social and ceremonial Gus
tom was more common in the eight
eenth century than it is today, and its
equipment was somewhat elaborate.
In New England, especially, the
quantities of cider consumed were
astounding, the good fathers appar-
emily living according to the letter of
the text, Stay me with fagons, COM
fort me with apples
There were tankards, six or seven
inches high, with S-shaped handles,
straight, tapering sides and hinged
covers; cans or mugs, somewhat
smaller, usually with curved sides and
without covers; flagons, like larger
tankards, commonly used with COM
munion services; tumbler-shaped
beakers, chalices and caudle cups"

IS ONLY ONE ISSUE
Coming Election win Be a Fight
Over Tariff.
Democrats Unable to Avoid RESPONSE
biIity for Policies That Voters Rec
ognize Have Affected Coun-
try Most lnjuriousy.

IF the Democrats think they can
chloroform the tariff question and get
some other political issue into the
field for the coming campaign, they
are in for surprise" declared Rep.
resentative-elect Norman j. Gould OF
New York.
BY special election on November 2
Mr.. Gould, who halls from Seneca
Falls, WAS elected to the Sixty-fourth
congress to succeed the late Serene E.
Payne, who was returned for the six
taenth time in 1914 and died last De-
cember.
To the education in tariff matters
which my constituents for thirty years
received from my revered and la
mented predecessor, Mr.. Payne, and
their unhappy experiences under the
Wilson tariff law of 1898 and the Viii
SON Underwood law now burdening the
country | attribute in large measure
the remarkable majority of $4,000
given me by the voters of the Thirty
sixth New York district" continued
Mr.. Gould. This is the largest major
ity ever rolled up in this district, be-
ing 5000 greater than any recorded
by my predecessor, showing how valu-
able were his teachings and how thor
oughly they have been proved by the
last two years of free trade. The
voters of my district have not for an
instant lost sight of the fact that tho
blood of Europe saved them from a
depression worse than that of 1893;
that for us the European war was a
vicarious atonement for the iniquities
of the Democratic tariff law; that to
war orders is due our present cham
payne prosperity. Ours is an agri-
cultural and manufacturing district,
and in my campaign confined myself
almost wholly to the tariff and to
national rather than local issues. Dem
ocrats joined with Republicans in re-
revenue measure, Democratic extrava-
gance and the incessant heckling of
business by the department of COM
merce. | believe the vote rolled up
for representative in congress for the
Thirty-siXth district is good evidence
of the trend of public opinion through
out the country. The Republicans
have stood behind the president in
his foreign policy, wherever a policy
was even slightly discernible, believ-
ing politics should end at the waters
edge. That they are for national pre-
paredness is evident from the fact that
they initiated the proposed reforms in
defense and caused tho administration
to about-face. | do not see how the
Democrats can make campaign issues
of either of those questions

Duty to Country First.

Experts are agreed that when the
war is over European goods will poul
into this country at such a rate thai
American manufacturing establish
ments will be materially embarrassed
Foreign labor will be willing to work
at even lower wages than ever before
That the Democrats perceive the dan
ger is shown clearly by the prepare
tions that are being made by the ad
ministration to enact an antidumping
law to protect the American market
at the close of the war
1t is admitted that there is danger
of flood of cheap-labor products. The
sole question now concerns the choice
of a remedy. An antidumping clause
would not provide any additional rev.
enue. The restoration of a protective
tariff will. The party in power should
not hesitate to cast aside even it's best
loved theories in order to insure eco
nomic stability to the nation.

ceeding interest the development OF
the factional differences among the
Democrats, as indicated by the atti
tude of Mr.. Bryan" remarked a Re.
publican leader recently. "Of course
no one in the Republican ranks was
surprised, but it is, of course, interest.

subject and will be taught by Miss Jack

mercial subjects will be taught only in
day school.

al board of 1.-THE Johnsonian." Emery
Davis II has been made Athletic Editor

ed Local Editor. The latter will now

held meetings recently to select their re-
spective class colors. The Freshman class
selected gold and white and the Sopho-
mores blue and gold. Each class has
made huge six-foot felt banner. The
banners will probably be hung in one of
the class rooms. They were particularly
conspicuous at the Interclass Debate.

Party Not for Roosevelt.

Mr.. Roosevelt is silent on the sub
ject of next year and his plans. There
is no risk in the statement that the
presidential bee is still busy in his
bonnet, and there is wide belief that
Notwithstanding his denunciation OF
the Republican party and many of its
members he would jump at a chance
to lead it again. But that such a
chance will come to him, either natu-
rally, or by the manipulation of his
lieutenants, is so slender it commands
little consideration in responsible Re-

Fly the Tariff Now

If the war has thrown up a protect
ing wall around American industries
sufficient to stimulate them after they
have lain dormant for three years on
account of an unbusinesslike tariff,
why not fix our tariff now as a means
of defense of our workmen and indus
tries?
1t is duty which goes hand in hand
with our other great plan for national
defense. 1t is absurd TO leave the tar
if doors open and Jay a Waterman to
guard a broken country and stified in

Such as these have lived and died."

They only go where life is safe and warm.

The doors are locked against the tw-

THE MUSIC PLAYED ALONE.

Munich, Nov. A, 19l4.1
VI IKE splendid pictures in gold frames
AT breaking of the day.
Three months ago the soldiers
- marched
To the battle front away.
And week by week with aspect bright,
More soldiers, more. and more,
Have singing crossed the barracks court
And passed out from it's door.
Today more soldiers went away
With flowers on their caps,
In warm gray coats and polished boots
And shining knapsack straps.
With holy water came the priest
To bless them from on high,
And friends and relatives were there
To say to them goodby
But when all should in chorus sing
A song of the fatherland,
Friends, relatives and soldiers sobbed
To the music of the band.
1t is not true that thinking men
Are glad to fight and die
Except they clearly understand
A righteous reason why.
And SO, in the barracks court today,
The music played alone,
And tears enough were shed to melt
A hundred hearts of stone.
