DELAYING DYEsTUFFs TARIFF

TIME Ways and Means Committee
of Congress has not arrived at
any conclusion in regard to
the tariff bill introduced by Congress
man Hill to protect the dyestuffs in
dustry. Newspaper dispatches indi-
cate that the Democrats are decidedly
up in the air on the proposition. In
dividually some of them admit that a
dyestuffs tariff is advisable, but when
they are faced squarely with the
proposition of establishing potective
rates for the industry they are collec-
lively disposed to balk at any such
reputation of party policy.
One of the majority members OF the
committee is reported as saying that
it would be unwise for the Democrats
to commit themselves on this issue
because the probabilities were that
with the return of normal conditions
in Europe our textile manufacturers
would turn Immediately to Germany
for their dyes, leaving the domestic
dye industry to languish. He was
sceptical as to whether the rates in
the Hill bill would meet the situation,
yet quite averse to higher. rates.
Another Democratic member of the
committee is quoted as saying that
the theory of protection was as falla-
cious in respect to the dye industry as
it was relative to any other industry
I'VE don't need protective duty rates
What we want is higher trained
chemists" he asserted.
Every aspect of the case indicates
that the dyestuffs industry is going to
receive mighty little encouragement
from the party now in power. Certain
rates will be fixed in a measure to be
reported by the committee, no one
knows when. The measure will be in
corporated in an omnibus bill and dis
cussion of the dyestuffs feature will be
brief. 1t is a subject bristling with
technicalities, and the party in power
is tired out. We cannot hope for
proper dyestuffs tariff until a change
of administration comes about.

LAMP OF EXPERIENCE

1t is natural to man to indulge in
the illusions of Hope. We are apt to
shut our eyes against a painful truth,
and listen to the song of that Siren
till she transforms us into beasts. .

Der of those who, having eyes see not,
and having ears head not the things
which so nearly concern their tenn
poral salvation? For my part, what
ever anguish or spirit it may cost. |
am willing to know the whole truth
to know the worst, and provide for it
I have but one lamp by which my
feet are guided, and that is the lamp
of experience. l know of no way OF
judging of the future but by the
past.-Patrick Henry.

lowing letter sent to the Congressman
of the 18th district of Pennsylvania,
Mr.. Kreider. in Washington:
I'VE beg to enter our emphatic pro-
test against the passage OF the Burnett

FARMERS MARKET INJURED

N1E National Gamers Association

DON'T WHIP IN ANGER
Mothers Maoazipe

1t is absurd to whip a child who is
overcome by anger. The best thing
to do is to let him alone and let his
passion wear itself out. If he could
be taken before the anger gets the up
per hand OF him, he might be con-
trolled.
What the parent should do is to
study the things which will arouse the
child's anger and then avoid these
things. 1t is the height of folly for n
parent to excite anger in a child, and
then try to control it by punishment.
1t is worse than folly; it is brutal. and
is likely to ruin the child

HAPPINESS

No man can judge of the happiness
of another AS the new moon plays
upon the waves, and seems to our eyes
to favor with a peculiar beam one
long track amidst the waters, leaving
the rest in comparative obscurity, yet
all the while she is no niggard in her
luster-for though the rays that meet
not our eyes seem to us as though
they were not, yet. with an equal and
unfavoring loveliness, she mirrors her
self on every waVe-even so, perhaps,
happiness falls with the same bright
ness and power over the whole ex-
panse of life, though, to our limited
eyes, she seems only to rest on those
billows from which the ray is defect
ed back upon our sight.-Bulwer-L vt

TELEORAPH'S PERISCOPE

If we were Wing Dinger We would

this: "spring. Spring, there amt nc

A steel ingot was blown through
the roof of a Lewistown mill the other

out.
Blondes are not necessarily light
headed.
Just now most of us would gladly
accept the opportunity of complaining

Certain Germans are complain
ing that the New York World used dis
honorable methods to procure informa-
tion concerning their activities, but
nothing that the World could have done
to obtain the interesting evidence it is
publishing is half so dishonorable as
the conduct of those it is is exposing.
Vice President Marshall admits
that he has always been an optimist.
so far as the Democratic party is con-
cerned." But present conditions are
enough to make even a Democratic
optimist pessimistic.

The "keep-us- out -of-war slogan re-
ceived an inharmonious jolt when Con-
gresham Page, of North Carolina, de-
clined to be a candidate for recollection
because he is opposed to Wilson's for
eign policy, which he describes as tend
ing to embroil the United States in the
European conflict. Mr.. Page seems to
be of finer fiber than good many of his
fellow Democrats: for if every Demo-
crat in Congress who disagrees with the
Wilson foreign policy should decline to
run again, the political mortality
figures would mount high. indeed.

something to do with the announce
ment of the London Morning Standard
that it will no longer be issued.
In the United States the situation
has not nearly approached such a
critical stage, but it is bad enough.
No newspaper at this time can gov
ern the quality or the color of its pa
per. The Telegraph has frequently,
of late, appeared with two shades of
paper in the same issue. Quantity is
still available, but prices are soaring
and within the next few months even
quantity may be so seriously limited
as to cause not only inconvenience for
prosperous and powerful newspapers,
but great hardship for others of linn
tied capital.

Now that we have gotten into Mexico.
some Of US are wondering how we are

Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-03-18

This the World cites as a parallel
of the "watchful waiting" policy of
the present administration. THE
memorandum was part of President
Lincolns instructions to the American
minister in Mexico" says the World,
"and it defined the principle that
President Wilson has followed in
dealing with our unfortunate neigh
Dor to the south"
1t does nothing of the sort. It
defines a policy exactly opposite to
that of President Wilson. In effect,
Lincoln said he could not interfere in
Mexico. President Wilson, on the
other hand, has done nothing but
interfere. It has been his everlasting
meddling with matters in which he
should have had no concern that has
kept Mexico in a constant turmoil ever
since he determined that Huerta must
be overthrown. Lincoln stood aloof.
Wilson has tried to run Mexican affairs
from Washington.
Everytime somebody in official life
makes a blunder his friends try to
explain it away by saying that Wash
ington or Lincoln set the precedent.
In any case, it is in bad taste to at
tempt modern comparisons with
either of these two great patriots, for
we have no man in public life to-day
who is knee-high to either of them.
Wilson cannot be likened to Lincoln
in any respect. From the choice of
cabinet for political purposes to his
piffling policy in Mexico the President
has not once approached Lincoln
either in methods or results. He could
put both his feet in one of the Lin
coins boots, with room to spare.

Lincoln to the American minister il
Mexico at a time when the Juare

awful conditions now prevailing there
For few years past the condi-

the time has not come when some
foreign power ought, in the general
interest of society, to intervene, to
establish a protectorate or some
other form of government in that
country and guarantee its continu-
ance there.
You will not fail to assure the
Government of Mexico that the
President neither has. nor can have,
any sympathy with such designs, in
whatever quarter they may arise or
whatever character they may take
The President never for a mo-
ment doubts that the republican
system IS TO pass SaIeIy through
all ordeals and prove a permanent
success in our own country, and
so to be recommended to adoption
by all other nations.
But he thinks also that the sys-
tenn everywhere has to make its
way painfully through difficulties
aud embarrassments which result
from the action of gonistical
elements which are a legacy of for
mer times and very different insti-
tutions.
The President is hopeful of the
ultimate triumph of this system
over ali obstacles, as well in regard
to Mexico as in regard to every
other American State; but he feels
that those States are nevertheless
justly entitled to a greater fore

people of the United States than
they are likely to receive in any

ments, will reassure the Govern
ment of Mexico of his best DISPOSE

I find the archives here full of
complaints against the Mexican
Government for violation of con-
tracts and spoliation and cruelties
practiced against American citizens.
1t is not the Presidents intention
to send forward such claims at the

ministration in Mexico shall have
had time, If possible, to cement its
