 In order that a Tarif Commission may do effective work, it is necessary that 1t be of a. continuing character, not subject to durries of excitement. For that reason it is desirable that the terms of service be of reasonable length, and that the appropriation un- der which 1t operates be of a con- tinuing character. It is very much easier to block an item in an appro- priation bill than to do almost any other act of congress, and a Tariff Commission which depends for its ex- istence upon having an appropriation made for it each session of congress Is sure to meet with an upset in com parativeIy short time. The grange has secured for. agricultural education appropriations of this kind that are continuing appropriations for very large amounts. I believe 1t essential for the continuous and effective oper- ation of a Tariff Commission

Lacking in Reading Matter for In-

 The inmate librarian of the connec- ticut Reformatory at Cheshire has sent out an appeal for books and magazines as there is not a sufficient number Of books and other reading matter in the institution library to satisfy the demands Of the inmates. The appeal follows:
 The inmates of the Connecticut Re- formatory spend an hour or two nightly 1 hour library Some read to pass time away some read solely for the enjoyment it affords. but most Of them read for the knowledge it brings to them. But our greatest trouble IS that there is not sufficient number of books and other reading matter to satisfy the demands of the inmates. There is nothing of greater benefit to the inmates than books. Perhaps some of our outside friends have g few old books or magazines that are not in use. and that they can spare We are sure the boys in here would welcome them with delight.
 If you have any old books or maga- zines that are of no use to you, please send them to us. Our supertntend- ent, Dr. Charles H. Johnson, will be glad to pay the express charges il our friends will be kind enough tc send them. r.

show gets into a big city where there is
police force and general atmosphere of sus-

stuff is squeezed out of the performance.
1t is due to this compressbty, without
doubt, that there is certain unevenness IN
