LOCAL SUFFRAG|STS
 OPPOSED ID COMING ]. OF THE M|L|TANTS

 The association refers to the coming .r,ickets'. as "uninvited guests" as in terlopers," urges its members throughout the state to repudiate them, and calls upon the public not to visit upon thou sands of peaceful Alabama suf1raglsts the acts of handful of militants.
 The militants. represented by Mrs. Gould of New York and Miss Younger of California are coming October 3l
 Having picketed the White House and the capitol, they will picket the Lyric theatre. Before that theatre in the evening, they will deliver militant ad- dresses, and the indications are that they will draw large audience
 From expressions heard yesterday, It IS evident that local people want to sec the women regarding whom the nation haa talked uncomplimentary.
 To address the people on the streets the militants will have to secure per init. The granting of that permit vii probably be the last official duty oi Commissioner Barber Inasmuch as he himself, has used the streets, 1t Is re garded as certain that he will permit the 1nilitants to do likewise.

Imports, when the war is ended,
must again bear their share Of the pub
lie burden. So that part Of the duty
Of congress To- is to lay such taxes as
can then be lifted with the least dis
turbance Of everyday affairs, enabling
the country to shake down easily again
into peace conditions and arrange

There is no lack OF sources that can
be laid under tribute to meet needed
expenditures for war, and are able to
pay assessments. But care should be
taken to guard against a "drive" at
either section or class.

FREQ Trade TarIf Commission.

AGG AAA1
II is rumored that the new tariff
commission is contemplating a trip
abroad in the near future. We are
confident that the rUmor is without
foundation.
It is hardly probable that a commits
sion appointed to investigate the vafi-
GUS questions which enter into the
problem Of manufactures or manufac-
turing in Europe and the Orient should
desire to cross the ocean at the pres
emit time when such an investigation
as congress requires is manifestly Inn
possible.
No satisfactory investigation can
be made till the wal ends and normal
conditions are fully restored and re-
established, and this may be some
years hence.
To say nothing about the dangers
attending such an expedition at pres
emit, the commission would be charged
with taking the journey for its W
pleasure and to crafty its curl
osity simply because 1t could be taken
at the public expense, with the knowl-
edge on the part Of the public that
no data Of any value can be obtained
now 1t would be difficult to answer
the charge.
For the credit OF the commission 1t
is hoped that the members will be con-
tent to draw their salary, which Is In
the nature Of a gOdsend to the most Of
them, and take life easy. 1t will be
to their credit.

DUTIES ON GRAIN
Vital Matters With Which Con-
gress Has to Deal.
United states Has the Right and Is In
Position to Demand That Question
Of Preferential Tarlfis Shall
be Settled at Once.

America is vitality interested In the
work Of the British imperial confer
ence recently held In London. Some OK
the matters dealt with by that confer
ence were OF a confidential nature, but
the nature of others has been dis
closed. For example. 1t Is known that
the conference passed a resolution ap-
proving imperial preference, In the
matter Of trade.
This means that the British isles
propose to give a preferential, OF
lower, duty to grain imported from
Canada than on grain imported
from the United States. The British
isles constitute the chief market for
our fOodstuffs. But q preference
for Canadian products would take
away hundreds Of millions Of dollars
from the value Of our farms and trans
fer that amount to the value Of Cana
dian farms. Such a measure would
cause a rush across the Canadian Dor
der such as has not yet been dreamed
of. Such a measure would subsidize
every American industry with large
British trade to put up factories across
the border and employ Canadian, not
American, wOrkmen on its foreign or
ders.
Before this matter goes further our
state department It Washington should
see to It that the United States will be
treated by the British isles upon the
same basis as British colonies In this
matter Of customs tariffs. That pro-
vision should be accepted by the Brit
ish government now, at a time when
that government is under obligations
which It deeply feels and which 1t Is
eager to discharge.
