REVISION BY SCHEDULE

Something worth while will be gained by

result of the change is substitution of revision
of one or more schedules at time for general
revision. When sudden sweeping changes are
made, shock to industry is inevitable This can be
avoided under the schedule by schedule svs-
tenn. The need for greater elasticity in the
tariff was emphasized by Willard D. Straight
in submitting the report of the National
Foreign Trade Councils committee on foreign
commerce Calling attention to the possibility
that European nations would seek from each
other and from neutral countries in South
America and elsewhere reciprocal tariff con
cessions, Mr.. Straight said that it showed the
necessity for "a greater elasticity than now OBJ,

ACTOR GooDW1N,s RANCH.

On the eve of a Shakespearian revival which
he is promoting in Boston, Nat Goodwin, who
first appeared behind the footlights as a vaude-
vile specialist and has risen to heights that
place him among the leaders in any cast,
waves aside an offer of three hundred thousand
dollars (real, not stage money! for his Cali
fornia ranch and our interest in Nat is in
creased by just that much. Every time Nat
broke through the barb wire entanglements of
matrimony his fame grew, and, similarly. every
time naught is added to the valuation of that
ranch. Mr.. Goodwin deserves fresh boost. Mr.
Goodwin at present holds his ranch at a valua-

ton Of tariff commission should contribute to
this end.
Certainly the tariff commission should help.
As the usefulness of the board will be deter
mined by the qualifications of its members It
is unfortunate that congress did not provide
adequate salaries The law provides that no
commissioner shall engage actively in any other
business or employment, and there is much
doubt as to whether highly qualified men wilt
be willing to give all their time in return for
salaries considerably smaller than those paid
to members Of other important commissions
Perhaps the right men will be found, and one OF
their first duties will be to see what changes IN
the tariff required in order to meet new
conditions in foreign trade and to point out
how they can be made without general re-
vision.
Of course, many important changes may be
made in the tariff. But with these changes
there must be adequate protection for Ameri-
can industry and sufficient revenue from duties
collected at the customs houses. But when we
have tariff that meets these requirements, the
schedule by schedule plan of revision should be
adopted as permanent policy.

does credit to his honesty and his mod

Topeka paper thinks that now is the
time for Marshall to resign, so that
the democratic party may substitute
some one on the ticket who at least
regards himself big enough for the
place, even if the public might not so
regard him. In the case OF Marshall
the admission is unanimous. The pub

An Essential for Progress.

The Outlook: Advertising has be-
come recognized as an essential ele-
ment in modern life. Without it in
dustry could not continue. One of
the results that the Associated Ad-
vertising Clubs Of the World has
helped to bring about is the prac-
tically universal recognition of the
fact that advertising is essential to
the merchandising OF goods, and that
it is useless to make things for sale
unless there is some systematic and
intelligent way OF letting the con-
sumner know Low things may be OBJ
tanned.
More than that, these clubs have
made it clear that it is of no use to
advertise q product unless that pro-
duct is a good product OF its kind.
Advertising ~ill not sell that which
of itself Ens TO merit. And so the
advertising agencies and advertising
men have been influences for better
production and better products.
In turn, the Associated Advertising
Clubs Of the World have laid empha-
sis, particularly in the last two or
three years, upon the necessity OF
truthfulness in advertising. Not only
must the goods themselves that are
advertised be meritorious, but what
is said about them in advertisement is
must be said in good faith.
It is highly significant fact that
advertising, which not so very many
years ago had to bear the opprobrium
resulting from practices that were
fanciful and sensational and in disre-
gard of truth or good faith, has now
become one Of the forces for ethical
progress in business.

ToDAY,s BIT OF VERSE
BITTER SWEET.


When Summer gay has gone her way
And skies gray with snow and sleet,
And leaves of brown and red are down
Then bIithely blooms the bitter sweet!
When Winter gray comes down the way.
While snowflakes play about her feet,
And skies grim and light is dim
Serenely blooms the bitter sweet,
When flowers have fled-when grass is dead,
And no green shred remains to greet
The hungry eye that gfances by
In beauty blooms the bitter sweet
When earth is bare-"Despair, Despair"
Shrek everywhere the winds that meet,
But never gale can make it quail
The hardy: wholesome bitter sweet.
Fit token this of grief or bliss
Of all miss, of all meet
OF all we fear hope for here,
The brave. undaunted bitter sweet
And like thou art to every heart
That dwells apart-and Incomplete
And clings and sways and signs and says
Oh. life is sweet-but bitter sweet

Price of Paper and Papers.

Cedar Rapids Republican: The
Sioux City papers. after holding out
for while. have been compelled to
increase their prices and the two
evening papers are now sold for two
instead of one cent on the streets.
At the same time professor of
Journalism in the University of Cali
fornia predicts,--unless something
can be done, that one half of the
country newspapers will have to sus-
pend, at least temporarily and tenn
porary suspension will mean a prac-
tical death Of such papers for their
subscribers will go to other publica-
tions, those strong enough to weather
the conditions. AS yet there is no
relief in sight, not anywhere. The
mills are said to be as busy as they
can be. working up all the pulp they
can get. Thsy have had some labor
troubles, but these have been over
what they demand and adding 1t to
the prices of the paper manufactured.
Adding a bit more does not appal
them now, in the face Of the adj
yances that nave already been made.
In the meantime, and all the time
while this stress and strain lasts,
publishers must economic all they
can in the use of paper, wasting moth
ing and the public must be a trife
indulgent. When things are as they
are we cannot have always just what
we want in this world, nor can pub
fishers do what they would like to
do. But il all work together, in
patience and forbearance. we shall
tide over the troublous times that
