whether he is most intent on dccoiv-

THEY MUST BACK DOWN.

1t looks as though the Democrats
at last being face TO face with the
results Of their folly in undertaking
10 carry out the free trade theories
10 which the party has so long been
welded, would execute an about face
movement on the tariff. The time
has arrived when even they are COM
PEELED 10 lay aside theories and get
down To the practical problems that
can no longer be avoided. They now
announce that they will not only re-
tam the duty on sugar. but will re-
store the duty on other articles, in
order TO replcnish the treasury they
have depleted 10y their reckless ex-
penditures and blundering fiscal pol
ley. They have been forced by ex-
pcriencc to tacitv admit the folly of
their efforts TO reform revenue laws
and face the people with an admission
OF the futllity of the experiments
they have tried. Thus closes an
other chapter Of the Democratic story
OF putting into practice the fond
theory of tariff for revenue only.
AS In former instances. the result
has been disaster To the country, this
time only mitigatcd for the time be-
Ing by the feverish activity forced
upon us by war conditions. II is
most convincing proof of the utter in
capacity of the Democratic party in
congress to deal with the real prob
lens of government. The Republican
party, on the other hand, stands rs
1t always has, pledged to tariff re-
form along lines that are economical
ly sound and to the restoration Of
the nonpartisan commission. Under
this policy the country has prospered
In the past, and there is every reason
to believe that It will prosper again.
Let us not forget that preparedness
means not only n strong army and
navy, but economic defense as well.

LONDON, March l6.-The Hol-
land Lloyd passenger steamer Tuban-
tia sank early today off the Noord-
hinder lightship as the result of
striking mine or an attack by a
among whom are said to have been
several Americans and the members
of the crew, are believed to have
been rescued. The steamer carried
between eighty and ninety passen-
gers and crew of three hundred
She was a vessel of fifteen thousand
tons
The Tubantia left Amsterdam
Wednesday for the River Platte and
was TO have stopped at Falmouth
for additional passengers and freight
Early this morning wireless distress
calls from the steamer were re-
ceived at the Hook of Holland and
torpedo boats and other craft rushed
to her assistance. Some of these
boats reached the steamer before she
sank and took off passengers and
members of the crew while others
picked up survivors from the ships
boats in which they had taken ref
uge after the explosion.
Mine Was the Cause?
The first flashes from the liner
said she had been torpedoed and
was-fn sinking condition. Later
messages credited the disaster to
mine. Until full details of the sink
ing of the steamer are at hand it
will be impossible to say definitely
what was the cause of the sinking
Among the American passengers
said to have been on board the
Tubantia was Richard Schilling, de-
scribed as an American consul. and
his wife and daughter.
Seventy survivors of the disaster
were taken into Flushing, Holland,
by two torpedo boats. Others took
refuge on board the lightship, while
still others were picked up by Dutch
and Swedish steamers. Those arriv-
ing at Flushing said the explosion
occurred at 2:30 o'clock this morn
ing just as the Tubantia was about
TO drop anchor. Opinions among
them varied as to whether the yes
sci had struck a mine or been tor
pedoed by submarine.

OIL COMMISSION IS
URGED BY J0BBERS
Protect Small Refincr From
Standard Oil Would
Be Its Mission.

ST. LOUIS, March 16.-Creation ofV
federal oil commission was urged
tonight by A. w. Caward of Waterloo,
Iowa, president of the Western Oil
Jobbers association, in an address at
the opening of a two-day convention
here.
Mr.. Caward said the creation of a
federal commission similar to the in
terstate commerce commission was the
only means of protecting the small
reiiner or Jobber from the control ex-
ercised by the Standard Oil company.
THE oil business Mr. Caward said
lis the most hazardous of any in the
world. The Standard can create a
shortage or surplus at will and the
independent dealers are at its mercy.
I'VE should work to arouse public
sentiment to urge congress to place
an embargo on the products of petrol.
cum until United States demands have
been fully supplied at reasonable
price. If this action cannot be OBJ
tanned to conserve the oil industry, the
independents face ruin"
plan was outlined for an Ameri-
can petroleum congress TO be held in

National Petroleum association. Inde-
pendent Oil Mems association, and the
