business After the War.

The administrator industrial pro-
gram, as suggested by the anti-dump-
ing law, apparently overlookD the pro-
spective economic tendency that will
follow the close OF the war. The pur-
chasing power of most OF the people
OF Europe will be reduced. The tend
ency will be to lower prices at home
and raise them in the United States.
Germany is not likely to got for her
dyestuffs in her own country higher
prices than she can obtain In the
United States. Most Of the European
nations will try to get the best prices
they can in the United States, and an
anti-dumping law will not even begin
to meet the situation.
Wages have been steadily rising in
the United States. The cost OF raw
material has been increasing. Humane
legislation has added to the cost Of
production. reducing the hours of
workmen and eliminating child labor.
What Is needed is tariff that will
equal the difference in the cost OF pro
duction at home and abroad.

II would not be fair to make COMPARE
SONS between the 134,5S3 votes cast in
tho Massachusetts primaries for Re-
publican candidates for governor and
the 1866 votes polled by the two
Democrats in the field. There was q
hard fight for the Republican nomina-
ton, but no contest worthy OF the
name in the Democratic party. Natu-
rally the proportion of the Republican
vote was larger than it was in the OPP
position party.
But there is fresh proof that the
Ide of Republican feeling and Repub.
lican interest Is running full and
strong this year in the fact that the
Republican candidates for the highest
Office i'm the state polled 134,5S3 votes
in a primary election, while the Repub'
lican vote in 1914 at the general cleo
ton in November was only 1857
The proportion OF the Republican vote
drawn out in the contest for places on
the official ballot was much greater
than 1t could have been IL the Repub
lican party had not been filled with
confidence and enthusiasm.

The real purpose of the hymn tune

to serve the needs of all the people.
and to do this 1t must be simple in

No skilled choir singing can ever take
it's place. The decline in hymn sing.
ing is evident enough. Save in
churches where a liturgy restraints
the ambitions of the choir, almost
anything is possible: and even under
that restraint there is continual ten
dency toward display. What is the Of
fee OF church music? Is it to aston
ish or delight the congregation? Is II
to supply them with a sacred concert
or fine singing? To take their minds
off the situation in which they find
themselves? To ease the effect OF
dull sermon, or obliterate the eff
feet OF good one? To draw people
to the church who would not other
wise GO? Or is It to induce devo

NEED MORE REVENUE
Underwood Tariff Is Not Produc'
ing Enough.
Figures Of the Department OF Com
merce Show How Much-vaunted
Democratic Legislation Has
Adverse Effects.

Even the Democratic party no longer
accepts free trade for its tarin policy
The tariff doctrine of that party In
recent years has been tariff for reve'
nue. only. 1t was for such a tarin that
the Baltimore platform declared In
1912.
Consciously or unconsciously, how
ever. the party in power enacted tar
iff which In actual operation has pro
duced condition very closely approx
mating free trade. According to the
official statement of the department Of
commerce, 20 per cent of all the i'm
ports which were received In thih
country in the month of August came
in free Of duty. In other words. the
tariff provides revenue only on one
fourth of all the products entering
American ports.
There need be no further explana
ton of the failure of the law as reve
nue. producer. The nation has virtu
ally abandoned the tariff as revenue
producer under the present admins
tration. Even sugar, which still is the
largest producer Of revenue. Is to &c
on the free list next year. The coun
try will then embrace free trade out
right.
The European war to a certain ex
tent has prevented the country from
feeling the direct effects of this tariff
policy. But even the Wanted excess
Of exports over imports, which has
brought about the increased prosper
ity OF the country, is somewhat over
estimated, so far as the beneficent eff
