SEEN ON THE SIDE
No Weather for Cupid.

II Cupid comes around to-day,
Costumed I'm his accustomed way.
TO greet st. Valentine.
That waEgish young divinity
Will feel deep regret that he
Was not moved to decline.
Poor mortals. in fur overcoats,
With mufflors twined around their throats
Tho Weather Bureau scold;
Then think of Cupld-hn pless wight
With hardly anything in sight
TO shield him from tho cold!
Loves cmbers on day like this
VIII hardly warm tho toes OF bliss
It's time for roaring flamo:
But Cupid, who won't keep In style.
Has quivcr, bow and pleasant smile
And naught else to his name.

Manufacture OF Naval Officers

{ lightly ONE cadets have been recon-
IL nended for dismissal from Annapolis for
low marks in their studics. West Point is
likewise a ruthless eli minator OF the unfit.
The percentage OF failure represents a heavy
loss 10 the country, which just now needs all
the naval and military officers it can get.
The question is whether the deficiency caus-
ing dismissa! is vital or not. once on time
We could afford TO be very tinicky in our selcc-
ton Of officers. but that was when we needed
only tiny army and q modest navy 40

is unable 10 take the technical training neces-
sary for actual service; but If q student shows
promise OF becoming good, practical officer,

lions. a man ough,~.,- ts'.be dismissed for
simply nunking ri E'rcnch or philosophy;
these are desirable acquisitions. but OF no
particular value in the conduct OF naval and
military operations
Il West Point and Annapolis would con
centrate a little more on service requirements.
ihe results might be less unfortunate
Naggng a man IN us own party to give up
sure thing for an uncertainty is so con
trary 10 Republican ideas that its repeated
call for Justice Hughes is an amazing
mystery.

Armed Vessels Considered Warsbi,s

IT is difficult to how this government
l could with consistency decline 10 approve
Germany's announcement Of it's intention af-
ter February %. 10 treat all armed vessels
OF the allies warships Whatever the
strict rules of international law may have
been prior to this war, events and conditions
within the last tw0 years have compelled
notifications of those rules
Weapons that formerly were only defensive
arms now are clearly wcapons OF offcnse AS
pointed out many times snall-calibcr guns
are OF deadly effectiveness against submarines
and IL Is as potential enemies to Germany's
submarines that vessels bearing arms must
be considered. The Justice OF the position
now taken by Germany already has been sus-
tanned In effect, by this government in it's
suggestion TO all bclligcrents to disarm their
merchant ships. and in its declaration that
armed vessels OF the warning powers of what
ever classification, might be subject To intern
ment on entering any port Of this country
That the United States will formally admit
the lawfnlncss OF Gcrmany's announced in
tcntion is not only intcrahlc from the proposi-
tions already advanced, but is further fore
cast in the apparently wcll-authcnticatcd
rumors that the State Department will warn
Americans against taking passage on armed
! vessels. If such warning is given II can
| mean only one thing--that 10 those who dis
| regard IL the United States VIII extend M
! protection And, Of course, this govcrnrncnt
! will take the same stand win regard 70
! armed vessels belonging TO any of the central

Winning of the Tariff Issue

ONE political question has stood out in
~ American history paramount TO all
ohers--the tariff Indeed. American poll
tics are to large extent the record of the
struggle over protection This issue first
genuinely divided North and South, and had
more u do with the War Between the States
than slavery The most bitter conflicts in
Congress from 1916 TO $50 had some vital
connection with the tariff. And, while our
political parties have been singularly lacking
in distinctivencss, protection has always
marked a difference between Democrats and
Republicans.
But the old order changeth, and the tariff
has been superseded in the public mind as
the supreme question by other policies. The
present tendency is to rccgate it 10 the back
ground political issue. President Wilson
ris announced himself in FAVOR of tariff
board. = permanent commission Ot profess
siunal economists would so long way to-
wards Completing the retirement OF the tariff
from partisan politics.

To the Public:-
 We have just finished stock talk ing, and find that we are heavily overstocked so are making enorm- ous reductions in Hardware-as much as 5O%o in certain lines. Not withstanding immense advances out side, especially in Hardware and Metal Goods, we are still selling on the basis of goods purchased the past two or three years.
 We will sell for cash only at these prices, and for a limited time, until we bring our stock down to the re quirements of the Camp. If you have an order to be filled let us figure on it; we can save you money. We have proved it O. others, we can prove it to you.
