The undYed Paper.

Readers of The Star will doubtless
have noticed recently that certain
pages of its issues have been of a
more yellowish tone than other
pages. causing a peculiar parti-col-
ored effect. Curiosity on this point has
naturally been expressed, and it is in
order to explain that this is one OF
the many consequences OF the war IN
Europe. However remote the great
conflict across the Atlantic may seem
from the matter of the color of news
papers, the fact remains that the
failure of the normal supply of GER
tain aniline dyes almost exclusively
manufactured in Germany has pre-
vented the proper bleaching of the
paper stock at the mills. The yell
lowish tone that is now visible in
some OF the issues of The Star is the
natural color of the paper, the white
sheets being the results OF bleach
ing process which is virtually dye
ing. In the absence of the dyes from
Germany and any satisfactory Amer
lean substitute the paper mills are
compelled to turn out all of their new
stock in yellowish tones. The mix
ture of white and yellow pages is
due to the unavoidable combination
OF rolls OF different toned paper on
the same press. When all the bleach
cd stock has been worked of The
Star will, until peace opens the trade
in dyes or American substitutes are
found. appear in one uniform cream
tone which, when not mixed with 9TH
er paper, is not noticeable. Some have
expressed the belief that this yellow
tone is easier for the reader, being
more agreeable to the eyes.

and which can never return. As a
consequence, it is failing of all OBJ
jeets. 1t does not produce sufficient
revenue for the governments pur-
poses. it does not stimulate business,
and in some particulars it is him
drance to development. What should
be done. and how soon?
1t is hardly necessary to point OFT
that if the present Congress had tariff
revision in hand as had the last Con-
gress, charged with the duty of 60
ing to the bottom of the subject, a
law very different from the Under
wood law would be the result. Mr..
Kitchin co-operated in the drafting
of the Underwood revision; but as
leader of the present House he would
not today offer the measure for pas
sage. 1t does not fit the emergency
at all. No more would the Payne
revision, which it superseded.
Whatever is done by this Congress
should be socketed in two PROPOSE
tions: % The tariff cannot be taken
out of politics, (2) nor out of the
hands OF Congress. No commission
could be invested with the power to
FIX rates or arrange schedules, or do
more than collect figures and infor-
nation for the examination Of the
body which alone possesses that
power. And it may be mentioned in
passing that a scientific" treatment
of the tariff. or any other question
OF government. will arrive with the
millennium.

A Tariff Commission.

Speculation is still playing about a
tariff oommission-about taking the
tariff out of politics-about putting
the tariff on "a scientific basis
whatever that may mean. The latest
story is that the President will ask
such action of Congress.
Undoubtedly, the collection of sta
tistics bearing on the tariff subject

dcrtakea than ever before. Hitherto
il has been executed in times of peace,
with our own industries and foreign
industries in operation under normal
conditions. Now the war has upset
everything both at home and abroad /;
and the longer the war lasts the
greater the confusion will grow. Just
where We shall all be, industrially
and financially, when the war closes

ing question.
And another question is, How long

conditions afford safe study for

selves. There will be a great race

such as to operate inevitably against
good work. Were it not for the pros
pect of occupancy of the new Central
School in September redistribution
of the pupils who have expressed a
desire to attend that institution would
be necessary. There is, however, no
such prospect for other schools that
are already crowded beyond the point
of effectiveness. The acquisitions for
new buildings have not been hon
ored in season to keep pace with the
increase OF the school population. A
more liberal policy of school con-
struction is necessary if Washington's
educational system is to maintain its
high standard.

Newest Novelties in
Fine Carpets.


The spring season has increased the demand
for all-over carpets and we have just secured
many new patterns for our sample display. These
carpets are of superb pure wool quality and are

country-Whittall, Bigelow, Hartford and
others that are known for their wearing quail
ity and for the distinguished refinement and eff
fectiveness of colorings and patterns

The Presidents Tours.

Probably there is injustice in the
suggestion that the President i'll his
stumping tours will put his renomi-
nation to the hazard; that if the
crowds are not as responsive TO his
appeals for preparedness as he thinks
they should be he will reconsider his
purpose to stand for second term.
ii is not a persuasive supposition
that Mr.. Wilson has decided to stake
all on one issue. important as that is.
He is intimately identified with other
issues. He could not ignore them if
he would.
Moreover. his declared estimate of
preparedness makes it non-parti-
san issue. He wants support for it.
not to advance his prospects for a
second term. but TO protect the vital
interests OF the country. And, as mat
tiers stand, with his own party di-
vided. ii he cannot secure liberal
support from the republicans he will
fail in his efforts for an adequate ma
tional defense Mr.. Bryan. and those
democrats who hold with him. can
not be brought around to the Prcsi-
dents point OF view.
Saturday night at the banquet OF
the National Security League Sena-
tor Lodge said this:
Il agree that this is not a party
question. | should be sorry to think
that national defense was a party
question. But | will say this. If those
gentlemen. OF either party or of both
parties, who arc now standing in the
way of national defense do not look
to themselves party will arise that
will carry through national defense
OF course, preparedness is not a
party question. There is not a sec
ond term in it for Mr.. Wilson, nor a
|, first term in it for any man in op-
position. AS it stands, it appeals, or
should, to the national spirit. Viewed
In any other light it loses its force.
How little the question concerns
itself with parties, as party divisions
now run, is shown in the fact that
Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Lodge, widely
separated on party questions, are
united as to prcparedness-not may
be as to details, but as to the propo-
sition in general. Both see the de-
fenselessness of the country, and both
would at the earliest day possible
put the country in the proper state
Of defense.
The suggestion that the President
is virtually opening his campaign
will precede him, and here and there
may find acceptance. His change of
front lends itself TO the circulation
OF the story. This time a year ago
his attitude was what Mr.. Bryan's
now is. But our dcfenselessness is
much more apparent now than then /;
and other men have, as has Mr.. Wiz
son, been profoundly impressed with
the developments of the past twelve
months and their obvious lesson
for us.
That the tours will draw large
crowds and awaken much interest is
a very easy guess. AS for the effect,
we must wait for the vote in Con-
Rress
