ARE AFTER FOREIGN HORSES
American Turfmen to Attend Fall Sales in England and France to
 Secure Thorouqhbreds.

That the American turf is to have more imported racing material next year than at any previous time ap- pears to be foregone conclusion.
 The fact that Phil Chinn, widely known turfman, and several other prominent turfmen, have arranged for a trip to England for the purpose of at tending the fall sales indicates the American turf will have a number of imported thoroughbreds competing next year for it's rich prizes.
 Chinn last year visited England and France, and while away purchased IS thoroughbreds for. Jefferson Living stone, among them several winners this year.
 Chinn will, it is understood, have authority when he goes over this year to buy whatever he likes and use his best judgment in price to be paid for yea-.ings and two-year-olds.
 It is also said that Chinn has been commissioned to purchase a number of steeplechasers for members of the hunt clubs throughout the country.

Want Political Tariff.

In this last fiscal year our pur- chases of foreign goods were smaller by $200,000,0O0 than in the year be modity prices in the United States, as reflected by Bradstreet's index num- Der, were the highest ever known. But in spite of that the country, our protectionist friends tell us, is being mysterlously ruined by the pauper labor of Europe.
 The aforesaid labor is getting killed and maimed to an extent that appalls the world. Factories in which it was employed are increasingly disorgan- ized by war. The capital behind it is being shot away at the rate of tens of millions of dollars a day. But those things were mere broken reeds to lean upon, unless we are further for tified against European competition by very high tariff.
 You might sink Europe in the sea tomorrow, and your true high protec- tionist would still go about pale and trembling unless he had in his pocket the rabbits foot of high duties to fend off the specter of pauper labor. A Flu rope with both arms in sling and not a leg to stand on would still frighten him into goosef1esh unless he had the tariff horseshoe over his door.
 So the tariff will no doubt be one of the issues of the next presidential election, and if the Republicans win we shall have another revision of it.. The loudest champions of high pro tection do not want an intelligent tariff; they want political one. with the usual log-rolling. Eve ming Post.

Turn to New campa;an Cry.

Attacks on the administration con- tained in the Massachusetts Repub
 lican platform show that the hard times cry has died out. Not even in calling the tariff failure is there an appeal to the voters on the ground that President Wilson has prostrated the nations industries. At the ban quet of the Home Market club of Boston Senator Sherman of Illinois denounced the ''indefensible cruelty of the Wilson tariff,' and was sec onded by John Hays Hammond, but neither of them hinted that relief from erstwhile depression is a mere accident of war. Protection may be espoused, but it will be with an eye to post-bellum conditions. In his re- cent speeches in the West, Senator Weeks has been telling the Repub- licans that the Democrats would be defeated next year-if defeated at all upon the question of the success or failure of Wilson's foreign policies. The Massachusetts platform bears this theory out, but it must be plain to the Republicans that the issue is hazardous. If the goals reached in our relations with Mexico and Europe please the people, they are not going to look askance at mistakes in detail.

When Young Woman Asks Him te Wish Her Happiness He Decides He Alone Can Give
 1t tc Her.

Bridgeport, Conn.-Paul J. Barber is a prominent young business man of Wilkes-Barre, Pa. With his friend and sylvania days, Edward Poli, he came here recently for a visit.
 The especial attraction which Bridgeport held for Poli was a young woman who was then visiting Miss Ruth B. filling, the attractive daugh- ter of Moves B. filling, who conducts several rubber stores. Naturally Poli and Barber were frequent visitors at the filling home during their stay.
 Some days ago Barber, in opening his mail, found a postal from Miss filling. She had just dropped him line" to let him know she was to be married to John R. Wrigle, manager of the Bridgeport Compressed Paper Box company. She hoped he would wish her happiness in her engage ment and subsequent marriage.
 Barber did wish her happiness-al the happiness in the world-but he was determined he would be the one who would bring her this bountiful happiness.
 \ Puts in Long-Distance Call.
 The young man hastened to the nearest long-distance telephone. He called the filling home, got Miss filling on the wire, having prearranged with the Wilkes-Barre operator that no mat ter how high the tolls rose he must not be interrupted.
 There is little likelihood of anyone ever knowing, including Barber him. self, just what was said in that con- versation or how it was said, but it was eminently satisfactory and effec- tive.
 Barber, in consequence, took the next train for Bridgeport. He did not announce his arrival here, but he and Miss filling, few hours later, might have been observed on train bound for New York. Their destination there was the city hall. A license was pro- cured. It was no aldermanic holiday and-but what's the use? You know the rest.
 This is not the end, however. MT. Wrigle, happy in the part of Miss

SHOT A COON? HERE'S ALIBI
Two Men Fired at It All Night, but
 1t Was Crows Nest Instead of Coon.

Ashtabula, O.-Hale Britton of Rich mond Center started down his pasture lane few night ago, when his dog struck a coon trail and soon landed the coon up tree.
 Britton went to the house for shot gun, and when he returned he could just see the coon high up in the top of the tree. He shot at the animal sev- eral times, then decided the shotgun was too short range to reach him. Aft CT telling his dog to keep a close watch, Britton went over to D. Tink- hams house, and the two returned with Tinkham's rifle. From then on until one o'clock they took turns firing at the coon.
 Finally they built fire and waited until daylight. Then they learned the coon they had been shooting at all night was a crows nest.

gust "A, 1912, which appropriated for the post-road department $500,000, to be expended in an experiment to test out the value of improved rura1-carrier routes. The federal government pays one-third and the state or county ben efted must defray two-thirds of the cost. The entire sum of $500,000 of federal funds and $1,000,000 of local funds will be expended under the su- pervision and checking of federal highway engineers.
 The following work on post-road inn provement has been undertaken, ac- cording to a bulletin dealing with the construction and maintenance of roads and bridges, issued by the depart ment:
 Lauderdale county, Alabama, 30 miles of earth road.
 Boone and Story counties, Iowa, 51 miles of earth road.
 Dubuque county, Iowa, 20 miles of gravel road.
 Bath and Montgomery counties, Kentucky, II miles of macadam road.
 Montgomery county, Maryland, 5.4 miles of macadam road.
 Cumberland county, Maine, 21 miles of bituminous macadam road.
 Lef1ore county, Mississippi, "A miles of gravel road.
 Mcdowell county. North Carolina, 16 miles of earth road.
 Davie, Forsyth and Ireden counties. North Carolina, AS miles of sand-clay and top-soil road.
 Licking and Muskingum counties. Ohio, 24 miles of concrete road.
 Jackson county, Oregon, 514 miles of earth road.
 Aiken county, South Carolina, 27.3 miles of sand-clay and top-soil road.
 Loudon county, Tennessee, GA miles of macadam road.
 Montgomery county, Tennessee, 7.6 miles of macadam road.
 Bexar, Comal, Aravis, Hays and Guadalupe counties, Texas, 71-6 miles of gravel road.
 Fairfax county, Virginia, 123 miles of gravel road.
 Spotsylvania, Caroline and Hanover counties, Virginia, 3s.2 miles of sand clay and top-soil road.
 AS rapidly as these roads are con- structed the department is endeavor- ing to interest the local authorities in inaugurating systematic main- tenance to keep them in condition. The county engineer has undertaken the maintenance of the Virginia post road in Spotsylvania county, and an other will supervise the upkeep of the completed part of the Ohio post road It is believed that this local maintenance system will be extended to the post-roads to be built in Maine, Tennessee, Texas and Alabama.

Many of my Republican friends predicted that the Democrats in the Sixty-fourth congress would not be able to keep together, and furthermore that President Wilson would not be able to get through his legislative pro- gram this winter, but from all l can see harmony will prevail said D.

KEEPING SUGAR TAX
Wise Course Is That Taken by
 the Administration.
European War, That Has DisIocateo Commerce and Industry, Makes the Step in the Highest De-
 gree Advisable.

Worldwide war, dislocating com merce and industry, reduced finance and credit to chaos and made a jest of economies. The new tariff has failed as a revenue producer solely for the reason that the conditions to which it was adjusted have been shot away by a dozen nations in conflict.
 It was the expectation of the Will son administration and congress that under more liberal customs rates the total receipts, while more evenly dis tributed, would not be greatly dt- unfinished, and that the loss of revenue in providing for free sugar and mo- lasses, effective May 1 next, would be more than offset by the income tax. That this hope would not be realized was plainly seen last year when the emergency war taxes were levied.
 In their conclusion to ask congress for a renewal of the war taxes and the repeal of the free-sugar and molasses clause of the tariff, the president and secretary of the treasury are fully jus tified by facts. The situation that con- fronts them is abnormal. While hos tilities last there is no possibility of a customs revenue, no matter, what the rates may be, that will equal the requirements of the treasury. Not until peace shall have been restored will 1t be advisable for the United States to enter upon experimental re- forms in taxation or relinquish any of it's imposts that, like the sugar tariff, are highly productive of reve- nue.

CBy FRANK G. MENKE)
 Pete Russell is back in the Univer- sity of Chicago-and, therefore, the Chicagoans are very optimistic as to Chicagos chances of grabbing the 1915 football honors in the West.
 Oh, yes, graduation, the bane of all college coaches, kicked the bulk of the cogs out of the powerful machine that Alonzo A. Stagg assembled in 1914, but Peter Russell is part of the machinery that was unkicked, and with Pete back in his Quarterbacking job this year, the Maroon chances are very rosy indeed.
 Russell is one of those quarterbacks that one reads about mostly in fiction. A brainy, inspiriting leader, wonder ful booter, sure, daring tackler, a marvel at running through broken fields, a great line smasher, a tricky, dashing, fearless player-that is Pete Russell. Is it any wonder why Chi cago, still possessed of this football wonder, isn't in glooms, despite the fact that some of its greatest stars of 1914 are gone?
 Chicago lost Des Jardien through graduation. He ranked as the great est center ever turned out in the West, and it lost Gray, the great half back; Acker, Huntington, wonderful end; Stegman, Coutchie and Kixmiller all regulars in 1914. But there are enough regulars and first-string sub stitutes on hand this year to form the foundation for great team.
 Coach Stagg Is Unworried.
 There is really nothing about the Chicago outlook to cause discourage ment," said Coach Stagg. Some of the vacant places will be hard to fill, but the candidates this year look very promising"
 Flood, wonderful line smasher and veteran of the 1914 campaign, will be the regular Maroon fullback The se- lection of two regular halfbacks must be made from among Schafer and Cor don, the only two men who got ex- perience last year, and a squad of youngsters. Gordon performed mostly at quarterback in 1914, relieving Rus sell, but can play great game at halfback

need little developing and the Ma room coaches, cognizant of this, are spending a major portion of their time teaching the youngsters the tricks necessary for varsity linesman.
 The material at the disposal of the Maroon leaders this year is not quite as bulky as they would like to have it. but the coaches are attempting to develop speed as an offset for the lack of weight.
 All in all, Chicago's outlook for 1915 is not as bright as it was in 1914- but outlooks oftentimes deceive.

Howard Berry, the University of Pennsylvania freshman athlete who jumped into national fame when he won the first intercollegiate pentath- lon event to be staged in this country, at the Penn relay games recently, is also a wonderful baseball and foot ball player and is certain to star in these branches of sport for Penn dur ing the next four years, provided he is not injured.
 Berry is such a good performer on tional and American league clubs have been contesting for his services for some time. However, should he ul. timately decide to enter professional baseball, he probably would join the National league team of the Quaker City. It is generally understood that this club has an option on his services and is paying him a snug sum month ly for his promise to give it first call on his services if he ever takes up baseball for vocation.

 Berry is about twenty years old and is tall and powerfully built. He has a pleasant manner and one that makes friends for him, both in his class rooms and in his athletic pursuits.
