South Is In the Saddle.

"Mr. Mann called attention to the
fact that of 80 men appointed to sec
ond lieutenancies in the marine corps
last week. 10 came from South Caro-
lima and Virginia and only three from
the entire North. Thirteen were from
South Carolina and six from Virginia.
Mr.. Mann also developed the fact that
he Southerners were given their
places without any mental tests
Washington dispatch.
One Of the most necessary things to
be done for the safety Of the country
and the proper conduct Of our defense
in the present critical situation is the
elimination of spoilsmen from the de-
Tense departments and committees. No
man who at such time as this will ex-
plot the service should be at the head
Of the navy department.

Shameful Spectacle.

1t is a shameful spectacle, which 1t
is a wonder the public can endure, in
view Of the painfully high cost Of llv-
ing and the absolute certainty that the
new taxes which the hooters are pre-
pairing to lay to answer the ''pork-bar-
rel" demands will produce further
advance in prices. To meet the
emergency" 1t is proposed to sell Pan
anna canal bonds to the amount Of
some $3.50, 100000, to increase the in
heritance tax and make levy Of from
5 to per cent on the profits Of all
business in excess of 8 per cent. There
is not one Of these tax increases which
will not make the high cost of living
still higher for every American con-
sumer.-Plttsburgh Press.

Downward and Upward.

Some weeks ago Secretary Of the
Treasury McAdoo issued his annual re-
port, which predicted deficit Of about
S185, 100000 for the fiscal year to end
June 80, 1913. Now he is out with
statement to the effect that $379.0O0,-
600 Of additional funds must be raised
for that year. 1t will be noticed that
although the Wilson administration
revised the import taxes downward,
every time they revise their estimates
of expenditures they revise them up

time FOR ACTION
UNITED STATES NEED OF PRO
TEcTivE TARIFF IS URGENT.
BelIigerent Nations Already Are For
mulatins Plans for Resumine Full
Measure Of Competition In
Trade After War Ends.

The urgency Of Americas need Of a
protective tariff is definitely shown by
British plans for diverting war pro-
ductivity into the useful channels of
peace. Already the high-water mark
has been reached and passed In the
manufacture of British guns, shells
and all kinds of ammunition for the Al
lied armies.
England has been doing aikably
well In supplying the outside world
with many products while her chief
energies were devoted to war. Now,
however, she is preparing to increase
her exports, thus diminishing the
steady outflow of gold and checking
the decline OF the British exchange
rate.
The ministry of munitions is respon-
sible for the statement that there are
now 4,623 private factories and works,
ordinarily employed In various lines OF
metal production, which have been
taken over by the government in ad.
ditiOn to the regularly controlled fac.
tories. No less than 2,250,OO0 en-
ployees are working In the govern
ment-controlled factories, exclusively
devoted to the manufacture of guns
and shells.
Other evidences. equally concrete,
have been given In support of the fact
that the belligerent nations are pre-
pairing to resume the full measure OF
competition in the markets Of the
world even before the war ends. This
country cannot afford to wait until the
close Of the war for determination
of its Industrial policies.

1t is predicted that the preferment

Wa. Summary

On the Flanders battle front
French and British both have
scored fresh gains on Isolated sec
,tions. Intense artillery fighting is
taken to be the forerunnor of the
big battle started some time ago
and abruptly ended by the unfa-
vorable weather conditions.
The British east of Hooge Fri
day took German positions and
held them against strong counter
attacks and heavy barrage fire.
On the north the French have cap
tured several farms. held by the
Germans, and a number of ma
chine guns.
On the Aisne front German sur
prise attacks were repulscd by the
French.
According to the Berlin report,
the Germans are continuing their
advance against the Russians IN
Galicia and Bukowina. In the re-
gion of Fokshani the Teutons have
thrown their forces across the
Suchitza river on u wide front.
