MI. Wilson and the Tariff.

In Washington dispatch to the New
York Evening Post on the subject Of
Mr.. Garrison's retirement this appears:
':On the tariff, the Secretary of War
was also not in accord with the admin
istration's policy until the tariff board
was determined upon. Mr.. Garrison is
for moderate protection and does not
believe in tariff for revenue only"
Is this surprisings New Jersey has
profted so greatly from protection, the
policy is strong in the state with both
democrats and republicans. Twenty-Five
years ago James Smith, jr.. then a SEN
-ator in Congress from New Jersey,
helped in the interests Of the indus
tries of his constituents to recast tariff
measure so as to increase the measure
of protection carried. He was defeated
for reelection, but not as the result Of
that action. His party's failure had been
50 complete on general grounds he was
swept out of office with many others.
In another Washington dispatch to the
Evening Post this appears:
1T is easy to change front on pre-
paredness, on the theory that the Presi-
dent has secret information Of such a
character that it cannot be divulged. But
it is very hard when you have gone
about, in accordance with tip from
the White House, denouncing a tariff
commission as an absurd waste of pub
lie funds, a mere vehicle for some would
H. hi he,
nomic failure, to turn around suddenly
and say that the war in Europe has
made that proposed waste of public
funds wise public expenditure; has
shown that the work of such commits
sion could not after all be done by other
governmental agencies which now exist
and has proved that instead of being
:. fifth governmental wheel. it will really
be useful body. That, some congress
men feel, tends to make them ridicu-
lous with their constituencies, and when
it is added that there is a rumor af1oat
of a letter in which the President
squints strongly in the direction Of
higher tariffs it is easy to understand
the feeling of unrest with which the
congressman are facing the question Of
their own denomination and reelection
and are asking themselves what the
democratic party's fixed principles are"
Well, if the President veers around to
protection, taking his stand with James
Smith, lr., and Mr.. Garrison, need any
body be surprised This tariff commits
sion proposition suggests to many only
a democratic aim to send the tariff ques-
ton, if possible, to the next Congress.
BY that time, the calculation is, the war
viii be over and general tariff re-
vision necessary, not only in this coun-
try, but in the countries now at war.
And if Europe goes in for protection
and nothing could be likelier-protec-
ton, indeed, is already strong in both
Germany and France-shall not wet

sometimes hard to play, especially if
the leader is of meandering DISPOSE

Charity Needs.

Weather such as that which is now
being experienced, with snow on the
ground and the thermometer working
toward the zero point, should stimulate
the charitable impulses Of the people.
The demands upon the charity agencies,
which are unremitting throughout the
winter, become especially urgent in
such conditions. Fuel costs are in
creased, food prices rise somewhat and
the opportunity for casual labor, which
is the sole source of revenue Of many
Of the poor, is cut down materially, so
that numbers Of families that are on the
verge Of dependency are by these con-
ditiors forced to call for help. So slight
are the resources Of the Associated
Charities that an emergency caused by
storm is grave one and calls for
prompt assistance for the public.
The Associated Charities funds for
the current year are now about $4,000
in arrears. A special call is made for
subscriptions, which, in view of the Bit
ing weather, should be promptly given
in generous amount. If at the begin
ming of each year the Associated Chart
ties revenues we're guaranteed for the
whole twelve months these severe vista
lions could be met without trouble, but
unfortunately there is no such endow'
ment, and every storm brings its prob
lens.
The charity Thermometer should 60
up just as the mercury falls under the
influence Of the northwest winds. As
those who are in comfortable circum-
stances feel the stress of the storm and
the pinch of the cold wave they should
feel also an impulse to give for the
benefit of those who are less fortunate
and who, if not assisted by some agency,
will suffer for lack of the necessities of
life. A dollar sent today to the citi-
zens' relief fund will relieve some
shivering family, or bring aid to some
sick child, or put clothes upon the back
Of an ill-clad mother striving to shelter
and feed her little ones.

The Grover Cleveland Forum.

An interesting experiment is being
tried in the formation Of community
forum at the Grover Cleveland School
in this city. There is no reason why
the school buildings of Washington
should not be used SIS community CEN
tiers for the gathering Of the people
to discuss questions of direct or indi-
rect interest, to hear lectures and other
wise to develop civic spirit. The school
buildings are ideally situated and
equipped for such purpose. They make
excellent meeting places for the people,
and in addition to the opportunity such
meetings afford for development, they
bring the adults of the neighborhood
into closer association with the schools
themselves.
It is suggested at the Grover Cleve-
land forum that appropriations be made
to pay for janitor service and to COM
pensate the school principals for serv-
ices rendered as community secretaries.
Certainly if work of this character is
done it should be remunerated. The
school janitors and school principals are
burdened with duties, and extra services
put upon them should be paid for and
the public funds could not be used to
better purpose than to this end.
Some time ago the project for the
wider use of the school buildings was
preached here and q law was finally Sc
cured to this end, but thus far without any
marked development along this line.
The average schoolhouse represents a
most uneconomic investment considering
the small percentage of time that it is
used for school purposes. On two days
out of seven it is idle, and with the ex-
ception of a few buildings occupied for
a short time eaclr winter by night
schools the buildings are in actual serv-
ice only fraction Of the school
days. Throughout the summer the
schools are idle, period Of nearly three
months. The business institution that
used its plant as little as the average
city uses its school equipment would be
rated as hopelessly unenterprising and
incompetent. The opportunities afforded
by the schools for community work are
infinite. Initiative and organization are
required on the part Of the citizens,
however, and this appears to be supplied
now in the case of the Grover Cleve-
land forum, the success of which is most
earnestly to be desired.

Rum0rs.


The rumors, oh the rumors,
How they spoil our pleasant humors,
As they futter in 4 disconnected way!
We are lightly turning, ever,
From our serious endeavor
To listen to what some one has to say.
Like the snowfakes they are flying;
Like the wandering breeze they're
signing,
And they leave US all uncertain and per-
picked.
We disregard the present,
Though it may seem calm and pleas
ant,
While VIC wonder what the rumors will
say next.
The facts, we boldly face them:
We can mold them or erase them
As we study what necessity exaets;
But We dread the necromancy
OF some unsupported fancy,
And the rumors are far deadlier than
the facts.

The people in this place seem to be

OF course we don't know what time
Jesus is coming nor what time He ia
going to call us away, but my advice
Is to be ready to meet Jesus in peace.
Don't just believe you are ready,
know 1t. Jesus tells us in His word
that our hearts will condemn us il we
are not ready. He ia greater than our
hearts and knoweth all things. We
ought to raise our children right, not
have them running with bad company.
That is one way SO many girls and
boys go astray. Mothers ought to teach
their children to shun bad company,
and teach them about Jesus. Teach
them to pray and when they get to be
men and women they won't forget
their parents. Live the right life be-
fore your children Never teach them
to lie or steal, nor to use bad words,
nor use them before them,

That viii Help Any One With His

(By G. A. Hutton, Division of Exten
sion, University of Tennessee.)
When planning to build barn one
Of the first things to consider is its
general whether any farm live
stock, except cows, are to be kept il
the barn, and the number of animals
to be cared for
The best plan is to have the dairy
herd in barn by itself, as there is
less confusion, the danger from loss
from fire is reduced, and it can be kept
more sanitary. Where the dairy herd
is small and only few horses and
other live stock are kept, one may use
general purpose barn where all OF
the live stock are housed.
It is good plan to store hay above
the cows, if tight ceiling is provided
Nothing but self-supporting roof
should be used. This increases the
hay capacity. No posts are in the way
Of the hay. The self-supporting roof
is more durable, looks much better
than a straight roof, and costs prac
tically the same. Bank barns are
usually unsatisfactory in the South.
They are poorly lighted and poorly
ventilated.
Select convenient location on high,
dry ground easily accessible to fields,
water and other buildings. Never build
a barn less than 80 feet nor more than
SO feet wide. Less than this width is
inconvenient, and more than SO feet is
Never put in more than
two rows of cows. II horses or other
live stock are to be sheltered in the
same barn, put them in one end of the
barn away from the cows.
The cows may face in or out, but it
is usually considered best to have
them face out. They get fresh air as
soon as it enters the barn, and this is
the handiest arrangement for milking
and cleaning out the barn. Put in at
east four square feet of window space
tor each COW. Concrete makes the
most sanitary floor, and is cheapest in

Now that it is all all over with
we will state why we printed so
much republican matter this
campaign. The dear reader will
please note the splendid dearth
of advertising patronage accord
ed this journal. This means that
we were put to straights to ill up
the "a columns of this paper each
week. the republicans offered
us the use of plates free, while
the democrats wanted us to set
columns of matter for their can
didate free of charge and at our
own expense. 1t costs money to
set type, and we could not do this.
1t is a hard enough proposition
now to pay our regular COM
position bill, much less set col.
umns of boosting for any politi-
cal party for nothing. However,
if the democratic campaign man.
ayers had offered us the use of
plates, in accordance with our
policy of treating all men fair,
we would have used them. AS
it was, not all the republican
plates sent us were used, there
being some Sc columns unused.
This week we have some agri- |
cultural matter sent out by the
University of Tennessee in plate
form, to use, and next week we
do not know how we will fill up, |
unless some advertising is secur-
ed from somewhere.
