ENOUGH DEMOCRATIC EXPERT.
 MENTS,

The experience of this country un- der the existing tariff bill for which the present administration is respon- sible, has been such as to show that the policy of free trade and tariff for revenue only is a failure. It has been indicated by the revoking of the clause which provided for free sugar, but the stand which the democrats have taken regarding a tariff com mission, in spite of the fact that they were the cause of wiping out just such a commission instituted by the preceding administration, and by the recognition of the fact that there is need of giving protection to the dye making industry in this country, makes 1t more certain.
 But where there has been a dis closure of a change of heart in these directions, it is still evident that there has been no complete equalization. This is indicated by the fve-year clause which is attached to the pro- vision concerning the dye industry.
 What is wanted is not half way protection. That will not give the en- cOUrag cement that is desired any more than the uncertainty as to the length of the war, which serves while it lasts
 
 pended upon by those who would in vest their capital in such business to give them a start which cannot be knocked over completely and effective ly by the conditions of the foreign la bor market.
 The Kitchin bill shows a leaning to protection but it contains dangerous provisions Full and not uncertain protection is what is wanted, and it is what the welfare of the country de- serves, It is no time for halfway measures any more than it is time for halfbaked legislation. American in dustry should be given the chance to which it is entitled and that cannot be done by Q law which is in force today but which, according to the pro- visions, may be wiped out tomorrow. We have had enough of the demo- cratic experiment

THE NEW SUPREME COURT AP.
 POINTEE.

The appointment of Judge John H, Clarke of Ohio, at present on the bench of the United States district court to which position he was named by the president two years ago, as a justice of the United States, supreme court to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Justice Charles E. Hughes, makes the third one to be selected for that tribunal by Presi- dent Wilson. That his nomination will be approved is probable and it will not undergo such a delay or meet with such opposition as did the pre- vious nomination.
 In the filling of vacancies in this court the president has selected men who were not only outside the list of those who have been mentioned as likely to be chosen or whose Qualifca- tions were considered such as to make it advisable to place them on the bench of the highest court, but he continues in his policy of choosing those who have had little or no judi ciaI experience, though the last nomi- nee has had two years service wherein to demonstrate his ability in this direc- ton. That, nevertheless, need not stand in the way of his proving that his choice was most advisable in every par ticular. It remains for him to demon strate that, however, for he still has to make his reputation as a justice of the United States and an interpre- ter of laws.
 Judge Clarke, like the other two appoiutees, Reynolds and BrandeiS of the president. has been an ardent party worker, and a strong supporter of the administration. He has radical tendencies even as had Brandeis through his associations with the late Tom L. Johnson in the fight for lower fares and other reforms, so that, with the approval of his nomination there will be on the bench three men of Q different class from those who have been previously selected. The effect that this will have, if any, upon the courts decisions rests with the future t0 disclose.

RAILROAD CROSSING FATALITIES

RAILROAD CROSSING FATALITIES
 Once again is the New Haven road interesting itself in a campaign to bring about increased attention to the danger which prevails at railroad crossings and this time it is putting up posters calling the attention of the people, by striking pIacards which are intended to appeal to the good judg- ment of those who read, to the val uabIe cooperation which they can rem der in the prevention of the useless waste of life which occurs when au- tos or horse drawn vehicles attempt to dispute the way with a Iocomo- tive.
 It cannot help being recognized as this pIacard insists that this campaign will not be successful if there are even a few drivers who persist in taking chances at ngs-trying to save time at the risk of a serious accident, ' and every fatality which occurs under such circumstances emphasizes this fact. There must be some regard for individual responsibility and the time to realize this is before something se- rious happens.
 It was only a few days ago that an auto driver, during the early hours of the morning when a protected cross ing was without it's signalman, who was proceeding slowly had just time enough to turn his car to one side in order to prevent being struck by an express train. IL was an experience which he does not care to repeat He learned his lesson then and there and resolved henceforth that at every rail- road crossing he would stop, look and listen, as he had never done before. He recognizes that he is one of the chief guardians of his own safety and he was brought to that realization rather abruptly. One lesson was enough, and if others were willing to profit by such narrowing experiences, to say nothing of the examples which are shown where negligence instead of care is displayed on such occasions, there would be fewer deaths at cross- ings, if such depIorabIe affairs were not prevented entirely. The appeal of the railroad Please! Stop before you cross" ought to be care fully respected.

more and more grave. The relief or ganizatiOn has just started an extra ordinarily interesting experiment to meet the emergency of short milk SUD- plies in industrial Centers. They have asked the peasants to lend free of charge for one year one COW from each of their herds to 9, communal herd which will provide milk for the chil- dren. In Antwerp the herd now num- bers over 400 cattle. In other Centers the peasants are responding excellent ly to the appeal of the American del egates. At the end of the year the cows will be returned to their owners, who will be compensated for the loss of any of their cattle.

By good fortune they hap pened to have all the blankets they wanted but were badly in need of clothes, so the blankets were made up into warm suits for the men.

Relief in BeToiup7.

IA J HemphiL, of New York, treas Grer of the Commission for Relief in Belgium, has returned from trip of inspection which covered thOrOughIv the operations of the Commission in Belgium and Northern France, and he expresses himself to The Associated Press as very proud of the work which the Americans are doing in the oC- cupied areas. He says:

 ''The Belgiuns still live from day to day in the undimmed expectancy of regaining their independence. I might almost say they live on hope, because if that wonderful spirit were not there the scanty ration, which is all the re- lief organization can supply, would be inadequate to prevent increased dis ease and mortality.

Do try this strawberry jam, my deart It's the first I ever made, and I wish your opinion of it," said young Mrs. CreelInan, who was serving after noon tea to her most intimate friend.
 ''Oh, am glad you like it! thought it delicious but I'd give a coolSy to know whether Jimmy thinks it tastes like the jam his Aunt Sally used to make. Very likely hers wasn't so rich as this, for Jimmie has often told me how remarkably economical his won derful Aunt Sally was. Indeed, quite a number of times since I was married I've wished I had had the benefit of a domestic science course with Aunt Sally, for she must have been a mar velous hOusekeeper.
 Last week when our grocery bills ran d little higher than usual Jimmie told me how Aunt SaIly-you know she almost brought him up-used to set the most abundant table on the slim mest kind of allowance.
 1t was soon after this little dis sertation that a friend happened to telephone me that she had just bought some beautiful strawberries for almost nothing down in South Water street.
