THE TARIFF.

THE TARIFF. - Of course, it is
true that "the present sO-called pros
peTity and the parallel increased cost
of living are largely due to the war"
So we cannot quarrel with those Re
publican editors who soberly state
the fact, But how can we help Won
dering at the state of mind Of those
who advocate a high tariff and GA
Vorable balance of trade" while Sc
riously making the above statement.
There seems to be something as I'M
canny about it as there is about the
owl whose eyes, though blinded by
the light, stare US out Of counte-
nance.
Let us examine the position. What
does the protectionist expect to re-
suit from a high tariff? Why, to pro-
tect home talen and labor against
the talent and labor, of foreign pau
pers; to enable, us to produce all
things that it is possible to produce
here; also that we may be enabled to
sell all these things to the foreigner
and eventually supply all his needs.
In this way we can export much
more than we import, Or, in other
words, we gain favorable balance
of trade" the measure of which is
the degree of our prosperity.
Whether wise or foolish, this is the

ATH0L, Mass, Nov S-The CONNER

cred by Night Policeman Hatch. 1t was
then located on the street floor in the bar
room. Policeman Phelps rang in the
alarm, and Officer Hatch went INTO the
hotel and all through it rousing the occu-
pants, On the top floor he was nearly
overcome by smoke.
Everyone got out safely, including Mr.
and Mrs. Edward Leonard and their fam
| lily The fire quickly worked its way to
the top floor, and by the time the depart
lment arrived had got big start As the

Five Brothers Fighting for Germany.

Iuitpold Nuissl, who recently cstab-
lishcd himself in the painting business
in Barre. has five brothers who are
lighting for Germany. All of them
were ON the western front when Mr..
Nuissl last heard from them. and al
though they were in the service when
the war broke out and have been at
the front almost continually, none of
them have been wounded.
Mr.. Nuissl was reservist himself
but left the fatherland a short time
before Germany declared war. When
ever he is asked as to whether he ex-
,rccts to return to take mp arms for
his native land, he replies that the
passenger service between the United
states and Germany is so disrupted as
to preclude the possibility of his re-
tuning.

Which Do You Prefer?

It is important for reasons of health and
practical economy for every housekeeper
to ask herself this question:
DO prefer pure baking powder like
Royal, made of cream of tartar derived from
grapes, or am l willing to use baking
powder made of alum or phosphate, both
derived from mineral sources?"
The names of the ingredients printed
on the label show whether the kind you
are now using or any brand, new or old,
that may be offered is a genuine cream
of tartar powder, or merely phosphate
or alum compound.

nor phosphate.

KING VOICES HIS SYMPATHY.
Sends Letter to Widow Of Capt
Fryatt, Who Was Executed.

LONDON, August 4.-King George has
sent a letter of sympathy to the widow
of Capt. Charles Fryatt. master of the
British steamer Brussels, who was
executed recently by the Germans on a
charge that he tried to ram German
submarine when he was master OF the
steamer Wrexham.
In his letter King George says:
"The action of Capt Fryatt in de-
Tending his ship (the Wrexham) was
a notable instance of the resource and
self-sacrif1ce characteristic of his pro-
fession." The letter adds that the king
has learned with the deepest indigna-
tion of Capt Fryatt's fate. and that
the king regards the outrage with
abhorrence."

BERLIN, August 4.-The taking OF
finger prints has ceased being directed
solely against criminal classes since
August 1, when the new Prussian pass
port regulations went into effect. All
passports now must bear the finger
prints of their holders. The measure
was first employed in Bavaria, and soon
will be adopted in Saxony.
SO stringent is the new regulation re-
garding travellers that the American
embassy here has been appealed to for
aid by large number of Americans on
the Dutch border who desire to enter

Sends Five Cents to Conscience Fund

An unknown writer today sent to
the Treasury Department, in an en-
velope postmarked Washington, five
one-cent stamps, 'for rubber bands and
pens" The presumption at the Treas
ury was that some clerk had used
some of this material of the govern
ment for his or her personal use and
had become conscience stricken to the
extent of 5 cents. The sum will be
turned over to the conscience fund.
Government clerks today were of the
opinion that if the policy of the clerk
is followed there will soon be numer-
Gus contributions to the conscience
fund.
