AS matter OF fact the Methodist
church has never done anything to
influence legislation except to give
Utterance in official words to the UNI
dying conviction of every Methodist
that the liquor traffic is foe not

HArpiny on the Old Theme.

No convention of the National As
ISOLATION Of Hosiery and Underwear
Manufacturers is quite complete with
out an address or two of an unusu al
character. always winding UP with an
appeal for higher tariff duties The
meeting held in Philadelphia during
the iaH week was no exception to the
rule. In times gone bys stress has
been laid on the fierce %competition
the manufacturers of this country are
TO meet with from Germany and
Japan, respectively. This has been
done In face Of the fact that German
competition at its best--or worst
has never yet succeeded IN getting
more than very trivial percentage
of the American trade, and that
Japan has had none of 1t. Meanwhife.
also. the export trade in knit goods
has been increasing by leaps and
bounds--so much 40 in fact as to have
had a good deal to do with increas-
ing the cost of such goods to the do
mestic consumer. For the record of
the thing merely, however, attention
is called to the address Of Joseph r.
Grundys president OF the Pennsylva-
mia Manufacturers association, at the
convention referred to. He claimed
that big business" was responsible
for the success of the American Revo-
luton, the Mexican, Civil, and Spanish
wars. To this he added:
I'VE are now in an era when the
world Is engaged in an Industrial war
The war will be settled by the inven-
tive genius and industry OF America.
1t seems unfortunate that these try
ing conditions have to exist in order
to impress upon the minds OF our
countrymen the blessings derived from
Dig Industries and a prctectice tariff 4"
This apparently produced that state
OF mental depression without which
no convention OF the knit goods peo-
pie II quite a success.

London Market Tone Good.

LONDON. March 10.-Money was
plentiful at 30. per cent today. Dis
count rates were quiet and unchanged.
Dealers are undecided about fixing
long-ter quotations in view of the
possibility OF the government COM
mencing short-term borrowing in the
near future. Only small business
was transacted on the exchange today.
Most of the trading was in rubber
stocks and Brazilian and Argentine
rails at fr!ner prices but the tone was
generally good. with the exception of
some rregularity in British funds.
American stocks were duh and irreg-
ular.

Our county commissioners are
appropriating a bunch of money

enable Seattle to reach Mt. Taco

these issue cards to the men; and
acceptances to the name and ad-

brought to each others attention
thru clearing house arrangement
at the camp, or the Commercial
club have two or three lady clerks
under the secretary to attend to
this matter. using the phones and
postalcard forms.
In any event. the churches thru
their agency, and the non-church
people thru the Commercial club
can secure action.
The commanding officers are al
ways glad to cooperate I find, as
1t gives the men q pleasant social
outing, and makes them more
contented, and the good citizens
will also receive the benefit OF
doing something to cheer the de-
tenders OF the land on their way:

spreads and cultivates the demo-

Dining Soldiers
EDITOR THE TINES:

In comments and letters by the
subscribers there was asked how
to get people and the individual
men together in the way of open
ing the homes to the soldier boys
and also the sailors of the navy:
AS for ourselves. we place =
request with the commanding Of
ficer for from four to six enlisted
men or officers and have them at
the home from a certain hour for
three or four hours. including a
dinner. or an evening. including
a meal.
This will give the men access to
homes that otherwise will not get
to the change of home meal, and
home influences. We invite at
times also some of our friends and
neighbors in, to help entertain
them, and thus we make the ac-
quaintance OF q large number,
and have the pleasure Of their
presence in our home.
The benefit is mutual and the
practice ought to be widely adopt
ed. In city like Tacoma. the
pastors OF the churches, and the
Commercial club, ought to have
some one for each and every or
ganization to receive names Of
men on leave; that are in posi-
ton to accept invitations to q
dinner or q supper; and the mem
bers OF the various homes Of the
city In position to do SO, should
communicate with the social com-
mittee OF q church, stating the
number OF men they will be pleas
ed TO have to meal and on what
day or evening, II the dinner Il to
be at noon or in the evening. and
then have the Of names Of
