STRONG PROTECTIVE
TARIFF ARGUMENT

At the recent annual meeting of
the Home Market Club held at Bos-
ton for the reelection of officers,
Charles Sosson of Providence, r. l.,
offered the following resolution,
which was unanimously adopted:
I'm view of the fact that imports
increased forty-four per cent and
that the revenue from imports de-
creased f~orty-three per cent during
the first eight months of the current
year, under a tariff for revenue only,
compared with the first eight months
of 1913 under a protective tariff; and
in view of the fact that imports free
of duty increased at a rate of $685.
O0O, 900 a month, a condition that will,
in normal times, seriously interfere
with the business development of the
country and cut deeply into the nee
essary revenue of the Government,
we respectfully urge the President
and the Congress to revise the tariff
in the interest of American business,
American workers and the national
revenue. We respectfully call atten-
ton to the danger which will con-
front the business and the labor Of
the country when the nations now at
war resume the fierce rivalry of in
ternational The present
tariff will prove wholly inadequate
to meet those new conditions, par
ticularly as it plainly showed that it
was inadequate to meet the normal
conditions of competition before the
outbreak of the war; and in behalf
of the national welfare, the security
of our industries and the employment
of our wage earners, we most earn
estly petition for tariff legislation
that will adequately meet the changed
conditions Of the worlds competitive
business"
President Dowse addressed the
meeting, among other things saying:
Without referring to the many fc-
titious and spectacular issues by
which it was attempted to sway the
minds of our many millions of voters.
the result shows that there is a great
work for this club to do in educating
the country to believe in the doc
trines of reasonable and adequate
protection of labor and capital. i
/ am convinced that the habit of the
South in voting solidly against the
doctrine of protection is n of the
greatest a to the continued
prosperity of the country. l ask
again that we give greater attention

study of those Southern States which
are largely interested in manufactur-
ing, TO the end hat they may realize
fully as strongly as we do the neces-
sity of protection"

HELP FOR POLAND.

The distress in Poland on account of
the devastation of war is appalling,
according to reports brought back by
representatives of the Polish relief
committee, which has its headquarters
in New York. Hunger, cold and dis
ease are killing old and young at a
rate beyond the comprehension of
those who have not seen the distress
and misery of the stricken land. The
Germans are evidently doing every
thing possible to feed and clothe the
people and alleviate the suffering. but
1t Is evident that they have not the
means to do much beyond caring for
their own people. England has been
asked to raise the blockade to permit
shipment of food, clothing and medical
upplies and it is believed that this
equest will be granted. A strong ap-
eal has been made to the American
eople for contribution of money to

REAL AMERicANisM.
(New York Herald)

1t is strange that it has not occurred
to the various assailants of Represen-
tative Gardner of Massachusetts,, that
they were really attacking the true
American view in this war. Mr.. Card
ner did but make plea for a strong
defensive force for the United States,
for the upholding of the rights of the
Americans travelling the high seas UNI
der international law and for the right
of Americans to sell munitions of war
to any country that bought them,
which has prevailed since the days of
washington.
Instantly on making this speech all
the forces of pro- ermanism in the
country leaped to their feet and be-
gan to rend him, yet Mr. Gardner was
only representing the view taken by
President Wilson in his annual mes
sage.
Thus we have Representative Coop
er of Wisconsin, Stafford of Wiscon-
sin, Longworth and Allen of Ohio,
Sherley of Kentucky all attacking this
brave and progressive American con-
gresham.
Mr.. Gardner was not assailing the
naturalized citizens of German descent
in this country who are Americans
and who will give their allegiance to
America rather than Germany. He
was assailing the naturalized citizens
of America whose oath. of allegiance
is a lie and who have been misled by
the various organizations corrupted
by German money to conspire against
the peace and neutrality of the United
States.

NATIONAL HONOR.
Extract from the speech of Gouvern-
eur Morris in the Senate of the
United States, on February
16 1907

Yes, sir we wish for peace, but how
Is that blessing to be preserved? ]
shall repeat here sentiment I have
often had occasion to express:-In NV
opinion there is nothing worth fighting
for but national honor, for in the ma
tional honor is involved the national
independence
Know that state may find itself
IN such unpropitious circumstances
that prudence may force a wise gov
eminent to conceal the sense of indig-
nifty, but the insult should be engrav-
ed on tables of brass with a pencil of
steel, and when that time and chance
which happen to all shall bring for
ward the favorable moment then let
the avenging arm strike home.
1t is by avowing and maintaining
this stern principle of honor that peace
can be preserved. You will feel with
me that our national honor is the best
security for our peace and prosperjtv.
that it involves at once our wealth and
our power. And in this view of the
subject | must contradict a sentiment
which fell from my honorable COL
league (Mr. De Witt c. Clinton). He
teils us that the principle of this coun-
try is peace and commerce. Sir, the
aVowai OF such principle will leave
us neither commerce nor peace! It in
vites Others to prey on that commerce
which we will not protect and share
Inc wealth We dare not defend-but LET
IL De known that you stand ready to
sacrifice the last man and the last
in defence of national honor,
ana those who would have assaulted n
will beware of you.

DEMOCRATIC PLAN TO RAISE
MONEY.

Congressman Mondell is trying to
tell his side of the house few things
in regard to voting war preparations
IF we vote for war preparation" said
the Wyoming man, 1--WE must be pre-
pared to pay for it. We can not say
that we did not know the democratic
scheme of taxation. We know what
1t is. We know that they intend to in
crease Internal taxes instead of rails
ing money at the custom houses. We
must know when we vote great ex-
penses upon the people that they will
be paid for by the people on the dem
ocratic plan of taxation No matter
how much we may fight and storm
and insist that our method of raising
money is the best, we know now that
all the dollars we vote to spend will
come out of the people through inter-
nal taxation"

OLIVE BRANCH OR BIG sTIck7

Does the meeting of the progressive
national convention in Chicago on the
same date that the republicans will as
semble mean that the progressives are
disposed to accept the republican nom
inee If he is reasonably inclined to-
ward so-called progressive principles
or does II mean that they propose to
nominate Roosevelt before the repub-
licans get action with the expectation
of forcing them to nominate Roose-
Welt also? That there is strong press
ure being used to force the nomina-
ton of Roosevelt there is no longer
any doubt, and it looks on the face of
1t like this move by the progressive
national committee had that in view
and is in the nature of notice served
upon the republicans that they must
take the colonel or prepare for repe-
tition of the campaign of 1912.
On the other hand 1t is pointed out
that the action of the progressives is
conciliatory and that the committee
selected the same time and place to
hold the progressive convention in or
der to make 1t easy for the two wings
of the republican party to get together,
and that If the republicans are dispos-
ed to nominate candidate of pro-
gressive inclinations or one who is not
especially antagonistic to the pro-
gressives, he will be made their candi-
date also.
1t is impossible to believe that the
republicans will nominate Roosevelt,
ard at the same time 1t is impossible
TO believe that they would consider
Taft 1t is out of the
question to think of the party uniting
on either Of these, and for that reason
every republican who sincerely hopes
70 see the party unit in support of
he nominee of the convention should
waive his personal preference
t necessary to accomplish that end.
We believe the great mass of the reg |
liar republicans are willing to do this.
md 1t is up to the progressives to
manifest the same spirit.
In the meantime the action of the G
progressive committee leaves one in a
oubt as to whether 1t is Offering the
live branch or waving the big stick.

FoRD's FOLLY.

Without questioning the sincerity of
Henry Ford in his efforts to bring
about peace in Europe, ne must real
ize now that his expedition to Europe
was gigantic failure, and that free
trip across the Atlantic induced many
to become peace advocates who had
never given the subject moments
serious thought. Imagine women with
their hearts full of sympathy for the
boys in the trenches and bent on get
ting them out before Christmas rush
ing to the fashion stores of Copenha-
gen and ordering expensive gowns and
having the bills sent to the manager of
the Ford peace expedition; and again,
imagine men and women, when the
mission is ended. protesting because
Mr. Fords bounty did not include I'M
limited tickets which would permit
them to remain In Europe and return
at their pleasure. No wonder Henry
became sick and headed for home when
he discovered the motley aggregation
that had been drawn to him, ostensi-
bly, to help bring peace to Europe, but
in reality to take a pleasure trip at
the expense of the automobile maker

HIGHER WAGES IN BUTTE.
(Anaconda Standard)

(Anaeonda Standard)
A good proportion of the increased
wages for miners will undoubtedly go
to paying for homes for miners in the
suburbs of Butte. A large number of
the men who work in the mines of
Butte have been building more homes
during the past two summers than at
any other period in the citys history.
Very many have built houses on the
flat or in the southwestern part of the
city or in the suburbs in other direc-
lions, paying for their homes little by
little out of their monthly wages. The
wages will be Of material as
sistance in paying for these homes and
will be an incentive for many other
miners to build homes for themselves
in like way.

The suggestion seems laudable, par

FITTING MEMORIAL TO A USEFUL
LIFE.

The organization In Washington the
other day of the Joseph A. Holmes
tial step in movement started by
representatives of the mining indus
try to commemorate the life and work
of DIR. Joseph A. Holmes, late director
of the United States bureau of mines.
So far as the name and fame of DR..
Holmes are concerned, they win live
for all time In the record of devotion
to public duty while in the service OF
the government both as chief of the
bureau of mines and in subordinate
positions, and 1t was this devotion to
public duty, and more specifically his
desire to promote the welfare of the
his untimely death. His work in the
field of mining embraced both scienti-
fic research and the personal welfare
OF the men engaged in the various
branches of mining. He was the
father of the first aid to the injured
and safety first movement which has
resulted in reducing the number of
serious and fatal accidents in an in
dustry In which much of the work Is
necessarily hazardous. Every mining
company in the United States both
coal and metal, now gives the first
consideration to the safety of their
of the government in equipping and
training to make the first aid effect
i've. The result has been not alone to
reduce the number OF serious and fatal
accidents as stated, but it has brought
about bond Of sympathy and mutual
concern between employers and en-
ployes that did not before exist and
which has already exerted a most
helpful influence beyond the direct
benefits.
If DR.. Holmes had accomplished
nothing more than the founding of |
the first aid and safety first system
that has now become a part of mining
operations everywhere, he would be
entitled to the enduring gratitude of
every one connected with the mining
Industry The association that has

CAPTAIN DAVIS OPENS THE CAM.

In his personal platform sent broad
cast over the state, followed by his
speech at Nampa last week, Captain
e. G. Davis has thrown down the
gauntlet and the public is waiting
with more than passing interest to see
which of his prospective adversaries
will be the first to pick it up, In his
announcement and opening address
Captain Davis has apparently omitted
nothing that could enlighten the pub
lie upon his position with reference
to the many important questions with
which he would have to deal IL elect
ed governor of the state, and it must
be conceded that he shows a familiar
ity with the subjects which indicates
a thorough study Of them. Although
credited with being a somewhat cold
and calculating man, 1t is evident that
the captain does not ignore the value
of sentiment even in politics, as evil
denced by his reference to the fact
that he is a native Of Idaho, the first |
candidate for governor of the state
who can claim that distinction Hav-

Iubjects which will enter into the pri

While to her breast her son she
