WE HAVE A HIGH TARIFF

is being given by many textile
factories they cannot give col
or guarantees on fabrics for the
coming fall and winter.
1t is possible your next win
ter's suit will fade as clothing
was wont to do many years ago
before dye makingwas brought
to a state of perfection.
Why are not American fac
tories turning out dyes that are
satisfactory? Some say con-
gress must place a high pro-
tective tariff on dyes or no
such industry will be establish
ed here.
The answer to that argu-
ment is that we have a pro-
tective tariff on dyes now. The
duty on dyes was not reduced
by the Underwood tariff, as
many people have been led to
believe.
Section Is Of the Payne-Al-
drich tariff law reads as fol
lows:
Is. Coal tar dyes or
colors not specially pro-
pived for in this section,
30 per cent advalorum.
In the present tariff law, the
Underwood tariff, the above
is repeated word for word. The
duty on coal tar dyes was not
altered a particle.
The same is true of the duty
on vegetable dyes. The word
ing Of the Payne-Aldrich law
is repeated verbatum in the
1 Underwood law.
In view of these facts the
claim that greater tariff pro.
lection is needed sounds like a
hoax. An adyalorum duty OF
30 per cent should furnish alb
Undant protection against Euro
pean labor, particularly SO
since dyes are not manufacture
ed by Cheap" labor but by
highly proficient German
chemists.
The dye situation is not COM
plimentary to American inge-
nuity and enterprise. The cold
truth seems to be that we do

MORE ABOUT THE RIETHs.

Vancouver, Wash. April "a, 1915.
Editor East Oregonian:
In recent issue OF the East ore
gonian news item appeared regard
ing the changing of the name Of Pi-
lot Rock Junction to that of Rieth
and the seeming mystery surrounding
the origin cf the name In connection
with that particular locality.
It is not at all unlikely that the
name was used as being that Of the
first. or one Of the first owners of land
purchased by the O.-W. r. & N. Co
or pioneer settlers in that vicinity.
The three Rieth brothers. Eugene,
Louis and, Jake. lived in that vicinity
during the early seventies and for
years after Jake Rieth resided on
the north side Of the Umatilla river
while Eugene and Louis lived on Birch
creek, very short distance above the
confluence of the Umatilla river and
Birch creek.
The Rieths were engaged in the
sheep and cattle business and after
disposing Of their land and stock Eu-
gene moved to Pendleton where he re-
sided for several years.
Yours truly,
J. L. SHARON.

MAMMALIAN HARDEN'S
VIEW

Nnews report from Berlin
n says that Maximilian
Harden in his German
v weekly upholds the attitude Of
President Wilson both with re-
ference to submarine warfare
and the sale Of munitions to the
allies. He calls attention to the
fact that in past wars Germany,
though a neutral nation, has al
ways sold war supplies to those
IN position to buy them.
The report is remarkable,
not only because il refutes some
of the pro-German arguments
set forth in this country, but
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1916-04-25

not know how to manufacture
good dyes. If so what we
need is better chemists, not a
higher tariff. If we are unable
to make good dyes a tariff wall
"a mile high would not improve
the situation.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1916-04-25

for the further reason it indi-
Gates a responsible element of
Germans in the fatherland
share this view. Otherwise
Herr Harden would not be al
lowed to publish such views.

 On the way to the police station, Lamar stepped into telegraph office and left papers without being detect ed. Subsequently the papers were turned over to his wife without the officers knowing it. While under ar rest Lamar paid bailiff ten dollars a day to guard him and walk about the streets with him. Lamar also beat this case in the courts.

Ripa. An Italian 10Wn
 Win Alps at Hs Back

"Consdera bIe traffic passes through this small lake port, whose 4,000 cltl- zens live largely upon transit trade and the entertainment of visitors. Timber, coal and fruits are the staples of it's trade. It, also, has some industry, the manufacture of paper and pottery while si!k-vorms, fancy fruits and the olive are cultivated. In peace time, it maintains regular steamship con- nection with Italy, and is one Of the favored tourist portals to the Tyrol. The character of the people Is Italian, and Italian is the current speech.
 "The little port has belonged Tn turn to the bishopric of Trent, to Mi Ian and to Venice, and has been a possession of Austria's since 1915. The Scaligers of Verona su1nm cred here during the height of their power. The aristocracy of the republic of Venice made Riva their Newport, and Europe and America of today have sent each year many hundreds of representatives to enjoy the charm of the mountains, the delight of a soft, Mediterranean climate, the beauties of the wide, mountain -entrusted lake, and the de- lights of the international, seasonal society gathered here upon Garda."

On Getting Interested ln Ones Wof>
(New Haven RcgisterD

Juan Ponce de Leon has the popu- lar repute of having been an old idle and broken man when in 1921 ne went in quest of the fountain of youth. He had been, it is true, more or less of a rOamer. The spirit ot aoNehtuie C rather than of serious application 10 a task was in his blood. But he had not been idle, he was not old-oniv s1-and there is no sufficient eVldehce that he was broken But he failed in his quest of the fountain, ana ne died disappointed. For as reSardeo tho secret of immortal or even eA- tended youth, he was on the wrong track.
 "Don't get too interested in your work" advised the satirlcal motlo' .vour pipe might go out. thomas A Edison never regarded that adFlce. He has been a hard worker since ne was twelve years old, and soon aItef his twentieth year he began 10 get really interested in his work. cI lhaC statement the sufficient proof IS that since his twenty second year he mas
 filed more than 1 400 applications TOT
 natents. and out of that 1,400 have come at least half a hundred lnVen- tions of enormous influence on the
  ] and the pleasure of the world. Edl- l son stands the world over as the name l for indefatigable invention.
 | Now this has direct application to- | day for it is MT. Edison's sixtyninth 1 birthday. The hours he devotes to l labor today are not less than those 1 he devoted on his thirty ninth birth l day, the energy is not less, the inter ! est is more. He still spends from
 twelve to eighteen hours a day in the l laboratory. T work till I finish i thing" he says. And adds, 1aconi- i cally: Then, if there is nothing else i to do, I go home. y This is the ut 1 tcrance of a man who is sixtynine
 and doesn't know that he is, as others 1 reckon age, old--doesn't know it, be- cause he is interested in his work. You who are hoping, if not for l some secret of immortal youth, at ] least for some antidote for age, find
 your interest and give yourself to it. ] If you can get absorbed as is MT. 1 Edison, you can be oblivious to the 1 passage of the years.

Washington, D. C., Feb. 14.-"Re- cent despatches from the Italian bat t1efelds contained the information that the outpost defenses of the town of Riva had been captured from the Austrians after severe and prolonged struggles. A description of this quaint and beautiful south Tyrolese lake port forms the subject of a war primer given out by the National Geographic society, which reads as fol- lows:
 "Riva is 8 bright, sheltered town, situated at the extreme northwestern end of incomparable Lake Garda sur rounded by splendid mountains and with a hundred and fifty miles of rugged Alps at it's back. Along the Western bank of the lake from the city, the heights fall sheer to the wa ter, and upon these heights, beside the lake 8 picturesque road takes it's way over rock ledges, through tun- nels and galleries, to Italy. only a few hours walk distant.

 But if three are too many lowbrov s in college, so there are too many hig!. brows. One highbrow is one too many, if for no other reason than be <. cause he is a breeder of loWbroWs. Nothing makes one a loWbrow so quickly as living with a highbroW. And perhaps it works the other way round; also; but since becoming a highbrow is the more conscious reac- tiOn of tho two, it should be the more easily controlled. We should s11g- gest that, whether in college or out the highbrows meet the lOWbroWs ha F way and abolish forever the need Of frontal measurement.

Brows, Low and High.
(New York Tribune.)

We all know what a higllbroW i~, but there seems to be some divergence of view regarding the loWbrow. Dr. David Starr Jordan has just explained that a lowbrow is only one degree r j. moved from roughneck, but at first this will seem rather more confusing than enlightening, since many of us have been accustomed to using r. e two terms, roughneck and loWbroW interchangea bly,. The good doctor even refers to a large class of under graduates as lowbrows, and rough necks, we know, never go to college: they scorn the very suggestion with an abysma1 contempt.
 It is only too evident that most of us have been classifying our brothers with lack of particularity amounting almost to looseness. We have bee' calling those lowbroWs who were sim ply roughnecks, and we have been confusing social with intellectual oD- probrium. If Dr. Jordan's codlfca- ton of these epithets be accepted, the lowbrow need suffer under no socl Il sability. He may simply be foo practical" while the highbroW IS not

ner all the honors, have conferred upon them the commissions, while the politically poor" do the work This impression must be totally obliterated if the militia is to become formidable part of the nations defense. How it shall be done is a question which Con- gress can never decide, unless it re- fuses absolutely to cater to the plaints of all those commissioned officers of the national guard who possess the habit of lobbying at Washington, as they are charged with doing ever since a Continental army scheme was formulated.
 The representatives of the natio..al guard association have drafted a bill by which it is hoped to federalize the national guard to meet with the re- quirements of the Presidents "pre- paredness program This calls for a three year enlistment period during which time the members of the militia contract themselves to serve the Federal government in the event the militia is called out for national service at any time dur ing the three year enlistment period. The Judge-Advocate of the United that this contract is not as binding as it should be, that the militiamen if they were so inclined could easily evade the duty thus imposed by break ing the contract just before an im- pending war. To this end, and to overcome any tendency on the part of 1nilitiamen to shirk, General CroWder would draft a form of enlistment which would place the various state militia under federal control always, by making the enlistment contra 't vest the members of the militia With federal duties from the moment of enlistment. While this would seem to cover the case more thoroughly, the Judge-Advocate also sees in it .he trouble that is likely to arise from making the militia subservient to two masters, the President of the United States and the Governor of the par ticular state to which it belongs. r is feared that any President who so desired might at any time take the militia from under control of the c3v- ernors and thus deprive the states of such service. Here then is conflict which must be prevented ahead of time, and to do so may require an to the constitution Of the : United States, a thing easier said ti an done. There is more trouble ahead for the advocates of "preparedncss"
