Dear Louise, how we miss thee
No other can take thy place;
In the realm above we shall meet
thee,
At the end of thy earthly race.
Thy smiles and heart-cheers all
are past,
But they will nerve US till we go;
They will strengthen US to the last
Until we meet on the other shore.
We shall look for thee in the
throng above,
Who are made pure by the blood
of the Lamb;
Where reign peace, joy and love,
Forever in the heavenly land.
Sweet sister, Ivy memory we ae

1t is precious in our eyes;
We shall hold it very dear
Until we meet thee in the skies
We loved h%er-yes, no tongue

How much we loved her and how
we'll;
God loved her, too, but though
it best

TRADE WAR CERTAIN
United States Should Begin Prep
arations for 1t.
Tendency in Europe Has Long Been
Toward Greater Protection for Ma
tionaI ndustries-Commerci
Treaties Hamper America.

Tariff revision will be worldwide
following the close Of the European
war. If it had not been for the great
European clash, Germany today would
be revising her tariffs.
1t would be far better for the United
States were the commercial treaties of
this country limited by a term of
years. The present commercial treaties
OF the United States are not merely
useless commercially, but are an &C.
tual hindrance to the development of
American trade. 1t was because of
these treaties that the differential
tariff rate designed to build up an
American merchant marine had to re-
main imperative in the present tariff
law.
Other governments will be able to
mobilize their resources and put into
effect the kind of tariff most certain
ly designed to build up their indus
tries. In Europe the commercial pre-
paredness of the nations now at war
must be undertaken after the armies
have returned from the field. But in
Europe the nations have forms or gov
eminent that lend themselves to de-
cisive and radical development plans.
1t has been noticeable that the tend
ency in tariff revision in both France
and Germany was toward greater pro-
lection for national industries.
Neither of these countries has ever
had any temporary reversion to free
trade or so-called tariffs for revenue
only. After the war the tendency to-
ward greater protection will be strong
er than ever. Even Great Britain, with
her need for foodstuffs, is swinging
strongly toward protection, and econ
omists predict that the outcome of the
present European. struggle will be the
of England to protection.
Americas opportunity for preparing !
for the trade war is at hand. Delay !
will not increase the advantages of |
the United States. 1t is conceivable |
that this nation by waiting until Eu-
rope launches her tariff preparedness
program will lose the golden oppor-
unity of making permanent the pres
ent national prosperity.

European Standard Not Wanted.

No obstacle, President Wilson says,
should be put in the way of American
business. Which is like saying no oh.
stacle should be put in the way of a
"citizenry armed" taking care of itself
without the government. 1t is as alb
surd for the government to allow this
country to be made the dumping
ground for cheap foreign products in
competition with our own industries
as to tear down our coast defenses. 1t
is the function and duty of the govern
ment to protect it's citizens in peace
or war. Fine-spun philosophizing about
equal opportunity cannot overcome
the fact that the world is not fighting
us on equal terms, that Americans do
not want a standard of living or wages
such as prevails abroad, and that we
want to help the world upward, not to
have ourselves dragged down to the
foreign level.

Wilson's CHANGING Beliefs.

The president, is frank at all times
about confessing new opinions. Re-
minded at Columbus in private con-
versation that he had some years ago
confessed to discussing the currency
question without any knowledge of
the subject he explained that now he
had the knowledge. He changes read
lily, and sometimes swiftly, and owns
up. He changed from Clevelandism to
Organism. He has changed from free
sugar to duty on that product. He
has changed from undergraduates to
preparedness. Should there be any
surprise if before he quits the White
House he comes around measurably
to protective tariff, and to ship sub
sidy? Progress is the word.
