Germany's Protective System.

The American Protective Tariff
league. through the American Econo-
mist's Washington correspondent.
cleverly turns the tables on the Tariff
Commission league, which has just il
sued a pamphlet asserting that the
strongest argument in its campaign
for a permanent norpartisan tariff
commission is the fact that Germany
has a permanent nonpartisan tariff
commission which brought that com.
try to the high standard of efficiency
In competitive ability which it an.
5oyed at the outbreak of the war. The
Tariff league shows that Germany's
tariff was made not by a nonpartisan
tariff commission but by a body which
was composed almost entirely of pro-
~tectionists, in which manufacturers
and land were in a large ma.
jority. Germany wanted an adequate.
ly protective tariff and she got it at
the hands Of this protective commits.

1t is becoming clearer each day that
the tariff commission idea cannot pos.

declared against 1t on the one hand,
and he is supposed to very fairly rep.

President Has Done Well,

In the presence Of the greatest OF
all wars. which appeals strongly to di.
vided American sentiments, and which
strikes deeply at American interests
At a thousand points. the president has
preserved the honor of the nation, has
in its behalf performed his duty to
mankind Of insisting upon the pres.
ervation Of tho sanctions and re-
straints Of international law, and has
so far achieved important diplomatic
victories without the threat of force,
but in a manner that leaves neither
America nor Europe in doubt that he
would use force II diplomacy should
fail.
At the opening of a presidential
campaign the Republicans will, of
course. loudly deny all these things,
bat they are true, and in ten years no

IS NOT CONVINCING
Country Will Not Approve Of
Roots Program.
Criticism Of President Wilson's Atti.
tude During the Tremendous Up.
heaval In Europe Must Be
Said to Lack Sincerity.

From the lofty vantage ground of
hindsight, Mr.. Root declares that Pres.
ident Wilson has made mistakes in
dealing with foreign complications.
That is extremely probable-the Jour
nal pointed out one such mistake and
the way to retrieve it only a few days
ago.
This war has surprised everyone and
upset all calculations. Germany, which
had the advantage Of the initiative,
made three tremendous errors al the
very start: She thought that Bel
GUM would not resist, that England
would not come into the war. that
France could not stem the torrent
poured upon her. England has made
so many blunders that it Is useless to
enumerate them; Russia has tripped
again and again; even France, though
sanest and most clear sighted of all
the combatants. has erred many times
In the simple business Of fighting.
Why. then, should we expect to be
hawless in the much more complicated
task Of maintaining neutral rights
without ceasing to be neutral?
Mr.. Roots program Of what should
have been done" makes it clear that
II he had guided the destinies Of the
nation. we should have been at wal
with Germany long ago. He would
have protested against the violation
OF Belgium. but without going to wal
on that point. Such a course would
have been equivalent to serving no.
tice on Germany that we hated her but
would not fight her-a fine way. truly.
OF persuading her to respect our
wishes. He would have backed the
L~usitania protests with action" The
only possible action is the use Of
force. and force means war.
Mr.. Root would be more candid
and more convinclng-if he omitted
entirely his lip service to peace, and
declared boldly that this nation ought
now to be at war with Germany ant

tral part Of the stable. The tracks
would not have to be changed in any
way however, as the switches make
1t possible to run the carrier on any

tracks. The floor plan clearly shows
the construction and arrangement of
the track. with all the necessary

. All the interior ~finishings and walls
OF the barn should be as smooth as
possible, so that the barn can be-
washed down with cold water each
day. All the stanchions are generally
made Of enameled iron or japanned
iron, so that the water will not have
any effect on them.
Two silos are included in the plan
for this barn. In many instances the
owner may decide that it would be
better to build one large silo, but very
often 1t Is cheaper to build two small.
er ones. The higher the silo goes the
1t costs per foot to build it, and
very often 1t is much cheaper, IL care
rully figured out. to build two silos
that do not go very far above the
ground. The feeding is generally very
easy in either case.
One of the details of a barn that is
very important is the type of hanger
that is to be used on the sliding doors.
In q large barn such as this one there
are quite a few sliding doors, and the

used. or they will be a nuisance. The
kind that is chosen should have q
cover over the track 90 as to protect
1t from the action Of the weather and
also keep the birds out Of It. It
should be strong enough 80 that there
will be no tendency to sag or break.
Little things like this are often con-
sidered unimportant, but IL a farmer
had a door break down during very
cold weather and had to nail it in DO
sition to keep his stock warm until
he could fix 1t, he would be much more
likely to consider such little things Of
importance afterward.
The floor plan shows all the equip
ment that is necessary to do all the
work in the stable. For instance,

ALCOHOL AND PNEUMONIA.

DR.. w. A. Evans conducts a depart.
ment, How to Keep WE'LL" in Chica-

Gently concerning measures for the
prevention of colds and pneumonia he
said.
Now is the time to get on the wa
ter wagon and to stay there. Whisky
and every other form of alcoholic
drink is a pneumonia begetter. Alco-
hol lowers the fighting defenses OF the
human body against all forms of dis
ease, but especially against pneumonia.
This has been proved by careful scien-
tiic tests. 1t is a universally recog-
nized clinical fact. This is one of tho
points on which the laboratory men
and the practicing physicians are in
full accord. Ii an ordinary man gets
pneumonia chances are three to one
that he will get well. Whisky drink
ers who get pneumonia do not have 9
three-to-one chance for life"

ON THE DOWNGRADE.

For a decade while prohibition area
was steadily spreading, the statistics
OF the federal government showed the
manufacturers of intoxicants paying
axe on a constantly enlarging guam
t1ty OF their products. And it sure
ly did make a hard nut for a prohibit
zionist to crack-to explain the reason
why the liquor trade got better while
saloons were all the time growing
fewer.-The Continent.
Not such a hard nut when it is
known that all liquor on which the
government tax has been paid is off,
cially reported as consumed" and
that during the decade referred to
large quantities were forced out of
the bonded warehouses by the time
limit and stored in private warehouses
awaiting a constantly decreasing de-
mand.
But" continues the Continent, with
pertinent emphasis, whatever was
the real secret of that paradox, the me-
cessity Of explaining 1t has now quite
gone by. 1t is a fact no more. The
business Of brewing and distilling is
at last on a toboggan slide which no.
body can deny. The report Of the com.
missioner of internal revenue for 1915,
Just issued, shows a decline in both
beer making and whisky making,
which demonstrates that prohibition
Is now prohibiting with q vengeance
plainly marking the beginning of the
end. h 1914 report already showed
some shortage in the whisky business:
from the year before there was a de-
cline OF 100000 gallons. But the
new report proves how falling bodies
are accelerated as they fall, for the
decline in the year Just past is Al, 600.

meanwhile the quantity of beer made

RUSSIA DRY FOR ALL TIME.

In a debate before the Russian
duma the minister of finance, NJ. Bark,
made this significant declaration:
Il deem it necessary to declare cate.
gorically that all suspicious ascribing
to the government any intention of
resuming the state sale Of liquors are
unfounded. l declare categorically
that the government will encourage
temperance after the war, also, and
that any return to the old state of af-
fairs is impossible. Proof Of this in.
tention is the fact that the govern
ment Is now engaged In drawing up
a bill. on lines suggested by forty-five
members Of the duma, for the main.
tenance of temperance for all time.
This bill already has met with the
sympathy Of the entire council of min.
listers, and vodka. in accordance with
the cars wish, as expressed to me
will be totally prohibited forever"

The upper part Of nearly all barns
is built Of frame because it Is so much
cheaper than any other way Of doing
this work.
The clear space between the floor
and the ceiling is eight feet six inches.
1t is much better tp have too much
head room than too little, especially
in a large, well-built barn, which can
be kept warm very easily. There is
another reason for building with
plenty of roof. In this particular case
the litter carrier runs out onto a
crane that Is high enough above the
ground so that the ant a be
emptied directly into the manure

generally caused II the material is
placed in a pile and emptied into the
spreader later. If the ground
is on a slope this process can be car
ried out very readily. but in some
cases a slight depression is dug SO
that the spreader can be run
into this and lowered enough so that
the carrier will run on the crane we'll
over it. The crane Is shown in the
perspective and also in the floor plan.
The floor plan shows most complete
ly the extensive and well-designed ven
tilating system. The intakes are
placed in the structural tile wall and
run over the COW and let the fresh
air in above their heads. The air is
then carried back across the animals
and goes out through the foul-air
shafts back of the cattle, from where
1t is carried in flues up along the wall
and along under the roof to the en-
tilators on the peak. The dotted lines
in the floor plan show the arrange

The facing-in arrangement is used
in this plan, but it could be easily
changed to the f~acing-out style II de-
