"Sunk in collision" answered. "But

He stood silent a moment, thought
fully considering me, and could not
determine whether or not he was alto

shifted to the face of the burly engi-

clearly. He appeared to hesitate, IN

1T NIGHT BE WORSE

Just now we are facing a scarcity
of tin for tin cans. Mention of this
in the press serves to remind us that
up to 1891 the United States produced
no tin plate, but depended upon i'm
portations, chiefly from Wales. In
1890 the Mckinley tariff bill included
an import duty of % cents per pound
on tin plate. According to the theo-
ries always maintained by the Demo-
cratic party, this would be a tax on
the American consumer of canned
goods and the user of tin plate in any
form. But the theory did not work.
Tin plate industries sprang up in this
country "a vigorous competition
arose among our home factories, with
the result that we increased produc-
ton and reduced prices. But for the
establishment of a protective tariff
on tin plates, the outbreak of the war
would have found us still dependent
upon Wales for our tin. We know
what a scarcity means. What would
be the situation if we were entirely
cut off from supply?

LOOKING TOWARD PEACE

There is reason for encouragement
in the many evidences of an aroused
interest in the tariff question. Some
newspapers and individuals who were
disposed a few months ago to deplore
discussion of this question are now
commenting upon the importance OF
preparing for peace, to the extent, at
least, of placing once more on the
statute books a tariff law drawn upon
protective principles. Such a law
could do no harm and would very
likely do much good. The American
people are paying heavy taxes any
way, and ever if they paid all the i'm
port duties, which is not at all prob
able, they would be no worse off. On
the other hand, if we had a protec-
tive tariff law in force when the war
ends, we would be safe against I'M
expected competition in trade.
When the war began, Germany
quickly transformed her dye-stuffs
factories into munition factories. She
can just as readily change them back
to dye factories. And she will. 1t
will take months to drawn and enact
a tariff law. If that work shall be
left until the war has ended and until
the Democratic leaders can carry out
their announced intention of ascertain
ing what conditions will then exist,
there will be ample time for Germany
to dump immense quantities of dyes
into our markets to the ruin of the
dye industry we have begun to estab-
lish here.
The same will be true of other in
dustries in which Germany has been
a strong competitor in our markets
in the past. Enactment of a protec-
tive tariff law now is the only safe
policy for the United States to pur
sue. Many people are awakening to
that fact, and it is well for the
try that they are.

A CONTEST THAT REACTED

In Arizona, in the last State cleo.
ton, the returns indicated on theil
face the election of the Republican
candidate for Governor; but the Dem
ocrats brought a contest. The case
has just been decided, by a Demo
cratic judge, and the result shows nc
Republican frauds and the only pre-
cinct thrown out was Democratic. The
contest lasted five months and in the
effort to show Republican fraud
every ballot was examined and re-
counted. Arizona Republicans are to
be congratulated upon the testimo-
NAL to their honesty which the Demo
Gratis have been forced to accord.

FEAGIN WANTS SUPPORT

William F. Feagin, who will retire as state superintendent of education October 1 to become superintendent of Montgomery county. has notified the city board of education that he will not become city superintendent, also, un- less the members of the board arc unanimous. He was elected last week, but two members opposed quick action and declared that further considera- tion should be given.
 MT. Feagin has addressed letter to the city board announcing that he felt it best to decline the appointment as city superintendent unless the board can give him its undivided support. The plan had been to unify the city and county schools in manner which has been success in Mobile county for many years.
