THE SUGAR TARIFF

A. The lnteuigcnCer predicted. ,he
Senate reccdcd from its action In i'm
ting the extension OF the present
tariff on sugar to 1920. and on Satur-
day agreed 10 the House bill repeating
the provision in the Underwood act
for the free entrance OF that commo.
dity on May 1. indefinitely. While
there is a strong protective element
m the Democratic party 10 fears posi-
tive expression in Congress at this
time because 10 would mean the nullifi-
cation Of the fundamental principle
OF Democracy. Of a tariff for revenue
only. The leaders OF the party and
the economic doctrinaries are dying
hard. The agreement TO the continu-
alton Of the sugar tariff is much OF
an admission Of the benefits OF the
protective theory. although the pres
eut reduced rate on sugar is not 70
tective in itself. but is made so in
part By the European war This com
bination has served to revive an Amer

THE TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN

The announcement OF the selection
OF the Hon. W l. Wells. OF Newell.
Hancock county. as the temporary
presiding officer OF the Republican
State Convention 10 be- held in this
city. May 4. will. The Intellgencer Is
confident. meet with tho warm appro-
val of Republicans throughout the
state. IL is most happy designation
because it can be Objectionable to no
element or following in the party. for
the reason that Mr.. Wells is not A
politician but a patriot: that he ia rot
so much concerned for the success OF
men who aspire TO office as he is in
terested in the promotion OF party
measures which will make Tor the
prosperity and contentment OF the
people.
Mr. Wells is not so wen known in
other parts of the State as he is in
the northern section. but he Is a force
that will make a definite impress on
the convention. He is a business man.
and, through long experience. perhaps
the most capable TO speak for the eml-
hence Of that fundamental principle
OF Republicanism. the protective tariff.
in tho approaching campaign The
temporary chairman certainly was
well and wisely chosen.

THIS FATEFUL MONTH

Most OF our historic tragedies have
transpired in. the month OF April. The
battle OF Lexington was fought on
April 10, 1915. and the war of the Rev
olution was on. On April "a. 1886. the
Mexican General Ampudia surrounded
and destroyed an American reconnoit-
ering party and the Mexican war fol-
lowed Fort Sumter was fired upon
on April II. 1861. and the first blood
shed OF the Civil War was in the
streets OF Baltimore on the 18th OF
the same month. when a mob OF South
ern sympathizers attacked the Sixth
Massachusetts Regiment as il was
marching through the city and the
soldiers fired upon them. On the
night OF April IA. 1865. President Lin.
coin was foully assasSlnated. Our war
with Spain began on April 81, 1898.
Finally. 1t was on April %, 1914. that
Vera Cruz was occupied by our forces
and the second Mexican war began.
II was in fact war. although never
acknowledged as such either by our
Government or by our people.
Are there any more portentiou.
things IN store for US than have hap
pened in the month of April. 1916.
whose course ia nearly rum II was
on April ~. the infamous ambush OF
our soldiers took place at Parral and
our Mexican relations are in a critical
condition. Not the less critical is the
state of the controversy with Germany.
The outrageous torpedoing of the Sus.
sex and other merchantmen is before
US. and President Wilson hardly will
care 10 have May :. the anniversary
OF the Lusitania horror. reach us with.

The deep sense Of peace which fills
the woods at midwinter Is nowhere
expressed more fully than where a
sylvan lake or pool reflects with calm
surface the grayness of the patient
skies.
Strained by the autumn scourings
of the hills, and the decay of innumer-
able leaves, the water Is rarely clear
and bright. as when 1t mirrors the
clearer heavens of spring and sum

DIFFER ON TEMPORARY STARS
Astronomers Have Two Views az %
How the Somewhat Mysterious
Bodies Originate.

Most of the textbooks suggest that
temporary stars, or "novae," may re-
suit either from the collision Of two
bodies in space or from q sudden ex.
plosion or eruption Of q single body.
Professor Hale, in his recent review
Of the last ten years work at Mount
Wilson. states that more plausible
hypothesis Is that Of faint star sud
denly plunging into gaseous nebula.
The spectra Of novae, after passing
through remarkable changes. have usu.
ally been supposed to correspond
closely in their last visible stage with
the spectra Of nebulae. Observations
at Mount Wilson, however, are in har-
mony with an observation of Hart
mann In showing that there is. at least
In some cases. q still later stage. In
which the characteristic lines Of the
nebular spectrum disappear, as II the
star had finally passed out of the ne
bula which caused its sudden outburst
Of luminosity. On this hypothesis. the
temporary brightness Of these stars
would be analogous to that Of me-
teorite passing through the earth's at
mosphere and raised to incandescence
by friction. Scientific American.
