WAR PROSPERITY IN AUSTRALIA, ALSO.

I IKE the United States Australia has profted inn
~ mensely by the European war; but unlike the
United States Australia Is deceving herself to
the cause for her prosperity. Apparently, there is
political necessity which impels the administration TO
convey the impression that the prosperity has basis
other than war The Interstate Commerce Commission
has recently issued report which shows how various
industries have been developed result Of tho cut
ting of of mportatons and the creation Of a law do
mand from nations
For example. although Australia is a great producer
and exporter of wool. she has been importer Of
woolen goods. particularly from Germany. Australian
manufacturers desired the aid Of protective tariff but
were unable to get it and the industry languished-
much TO the profit OF Germany. Now, however "it is
we'll understood by the general public that the isoa
ton caused by conditions. elimination OF German
supplies and heavy military orders, has provoked un-
precedented prosperity in this industry" The Commits
sion thinks the wooden industry therefore. presents
scope for study by investors with money needing pro-
itabe employment.
But the investor who conducts a careful study" be-
fore investing will probably ask After the wha?"
If woolen manufacturers could compete before the
war; what encouragement is there for careful business
invest in that industry with the certainty that
competition will be restored the is over?
And the same situation is presented in the United
States.

The President of the United States
addressing a body of buiness men in
New York city told them he learned the
truth with regard TO Mexico by listen
mg to large number of liars. Having
all his life been accustomed 10 the use
of precise words to express his thoughts.
this was not an unfortunate slip of Mr..
Wilson's tongue. Speaking with that
precision for which he is noted today,
Just as when he faced the students at
Princeton University, the President
said;
81 found out what was going on
in Mexico in very singular way
by hearing sufficiently large num-
ber of liars talk about it,"
If the President of the United States
believed the people are entitled to know
that he obtained information in this un-
usual manner, iustifying him in chang
ing his entire policy with respect to
Mexico, there are many thinking persons
who will wonder why he did not, with
equal candor. state who these liars are.
BY failing in that particular the Presi-
dent leaves a number of distinguished
citizens whom he has consulted under a
suspicion that probably is not warrant
ed, and who, IN the Judgment OF the
average reader of his remarks, will be
included in the mfavorable category of
prevaricators thus publicly denounced.
Public men who yesterday expressed
in unmeasmed terms their Indignation
al the blanket indictment drawn by the
President. declared that the Executive
owed it to his own sense of the dignity
of his high Office to tear aside the veil
of mystery and secrecy behind which he
placed these "liars' and bring them
into public view. They characterized his
generalization of men with whom he
had converscd. some Of whom are mem
bers of Congress, as an arfrOnt to the
Congress itself and a reflection upon his
own Judgment of men chosen to perform
a specific duty, Such few private citi-
zeus as may have had opportunity to
get the ear Of administration officials
have done so because they were spon-
sored by senators or representatives
and il they are the liars referred to, the
congressman believe the President
should single tnem out by their right
names, and not slur honest men because

IIONi Ailt aNNW ANAh tNNiis
The essential fact revealed by Presi-
dent Wilson's letters addressed to Rep
rcsentative Kitchm is the Democratic
recognition OF the inadequacy OF the I'm
derwood tariff law. The schedules of
that act were unsatisfactory under the
circumstances existing when they were
written. The abnormal situation ere
ated by the war has emphasized their
deficiencies. The attainment OF peace
will pose new problems OF supreme mo-
ment to the Industrial and commercial
community. The solution of these will
not be found in the application of pre-
conceived theories to an ideal world II

THE Boston Chamber OF Commerce has issued

To show that it costs more to vessel under the

For example, w. r. Grace and Co.. find that the

ROADS.

ROADS.
From the Dover Index.
For some time the dirt roads OF
Kent county have been almost i'm
passable and dissatisfaction is heard
on all sides OF course no one ex-
poets to go through a winter without
at some times having bad roads. No
matter how good they are in the sum
mer they are bound to be bad when
freezes and thaws come. To add to
this the practice has been in late years
to work roads in the late summer and
fall. which is sure to cause muck and
mire in the winter. Probably all
would prefer stone roads but the cost
is TO be considered.
When Kent county decides to build
its roads with stone its citizens must
be prepared to have their taxes in
creased to at least three times the
present rate. II is a choice between
the present bad roads in the winter
and a very large county debt and high
taxes. Good roads, however, are each
year becoming more necessary and
the time will no doubt come when the
people will be prepared to stand the
expense. This may, however. be 4
long way off. Delaware people are
averse to tax paying as is evidenced
by our poor country schools, due to
lack of money for better school
houses and higher wages for teach
ers. Yet nothing should come nearer
home than the comfort and education
of our children. There is not a coun-
try school district that should not
raise by taxation at least twice the
amount now raised, but while this
has been urged year after year for
the past thirty years. each school
election brings the same result. Au-
tomobiles may be bought and other
extravagances INDUCED in, but the
schools are stinted.
So it is with roads. No one inn
provement runs far ahead of others
Kent county is improving in many
ways and year by year its citizens are
being educated to its needs and the
means Of remedying them and we
hope that the time is not so far OFF
when we shall have the good schools
and good roads that are such neces-
sary adjuncts to good farming and
good living.

I T is laughabe to the way the Democrats are
casting about for substitute for the Republican
policy of protection All sorts of harebraned schemes
being broached to up the cost of production
at home and abroad and 10 meet the dumping Of Eu-
ropean products the American market very few
Democrats come out hat-footed for protection The
Chicago Herald, a Democratic paper. suggests the
adoption Of advertising protection, accepting the
theory OF c. E. Raymond advertising man. to
the effect that "by good, well planned campaigns we
build for products protecting wall that will
be better than any tariff ever built" But cannot
the importers Of foreign products, like Lord Tay
lor Marshall Field and Company. and countless 9TH
ers. advertise well the vendors Of domestic ar
ticles?
The joke of the whole situation is that year ago
the Democrats declared against protection any kind
What Mr.. Underwood and his tariff wreckers stood
for was competition" Mr.. Underwood declared that
his bill a competitory They told us that
competition from abroad would lower the cost
of living We got competition under the Demo-
crat tariff law. but the Of living went up.
Why not get back to earth and acknowledge that a
protective policy permits the mills to and the men
to work. and pays the expenses Of running the gov
ernment?
