THE FALSE ORACLES

It was former Senator Chiffon. II our
memory serves US right. who a1ectea
to speak with authority after the re-
suits OF the last Presidential election
had been declared. that the Republican
Issue Of the tariff was dead. The same
funeral notice has been repeated since
by. the free trade oracles of the coun-
try. but 1t can be taken IN no otner
sense than that the wish IS father TO
the thought. There is revival OF this
thought on the part Of Washington
contributor to one Of the eastern free
trade journals. who wrieS that the man
who thinks to introduce the tariff ques'
ton into The next campaign will be Ike
The voice of one crying in the wilder
ness. Inasmuch as the means Of earn
ing a livelihood by the millions de-
ponds to great extent upon the way
this same tariff question is treated BY
Congress, the voice in the wilderness
is. more likely to resemble that OF
Washington contributors TO free trade
newspapers.
We cannot understand why. II the
free traders hold the death certificate
of the tariff, as they profess. they are
SO nervous about a resurrection. They
protest too much. Il is fact aud
coincidence worth notin" that with one
accord the free trade newspapers are
preaching non-pa7tisanship IN this
years elections OF Senators and Rep
resentatiyes in Congress. Equally sig
nifcant is the unanimous free trade
plea for the total elimination OF the
tariff as an issue Tn" hint 10 protec-
tionists is obvious. DO exactly what
the free traders don't want you TO DO.
Make the tariff the prime issue in this
years campaign, and fight 1t out along
that line.

practically inundated with communi-
cations from patients and others tax
ing issue with tho proceedings lnsti-
,tuted against him. The ln;olliSencer
regrets that owing 10 the extraordinary
demands on its space at this time that
it would be utterly Impossible 10 hna
room for these voluninous personal ex'
positions of the methods Of the chlro'
~psactor. It must. therefore, decline 10
give these communications publicity
through It's columns, not on account
OF any prejudice it has one way or the
other, but simply because it has not
the room at its disposal TO devote TO
the controversy.
The Intelligeucer suggests in this
connection that it is probably exceed
Ing the functions Of daily paper to
become a forum for a controversial
trial of a case that is now confined to
the jurisdiction OF the courts. II the
friends of DR.. Lamont are aggriered'
they have the proper remedy il their
own hands. Ii the laws Of the State
have worked uniustly in their opinion,
they have the, right TO secure their
modification. The proceedings against
DR.. Lamont were instituted by due L.
sal process. and it is in the courts
that the issue must b. trird. The
writers Of Ihs numerous coninurica'
tons received BY The IntelliSencer
win, it believes. on reflection. see the
obvious propricty OF this conclusion
without drawing any Inference of an
unfriendly disposition on the part OF
this paper.

Our duty 20 these visiting students
is fairly plain. Briefly. il is TO give
them the best We have, or can get. in
The field of modern higher education;
TO keep them contcnted and comfort

studies, and to send them home at the
end of their training not only 0rlm'
ming over with ideas. but imburd also
with that spirit of democratic progress
which is Americas best legacy to her
neighbors' sons and daughters.

TO be satisfactory. Witness the total

GLOOMY CROP OUTLOOK

Adyices from Washington continue
to give an unpromisinS outlook for the
crop prospects of the country. 1t is
said that from almost every communl-
t. in the agricultural sections OF the
country there comes a note OF warning
that unless farming shall be made
profitable there will be- a diminished
production, with all the disastrous
CONSEQUENCES which must inevitably
follow to the cause OF America and her
allies. This diminished production. 1t
is said, will not be due to any desire
for revenge. but 10 the inability Of the
farmers who lost on last years crops
70 carry on their operations as exten-
si@ely in the future.
While it is common knowledge that
many farmers have made snug profits
since the war began in Europe. and
a few made good returns in 1917, yet
there were many sections where the
CROPS of last year were unremunera-
tive and where diminished planting Is
indicated for 1918 The cotton grow
or. have made fortunes, and 1917 was
their biggest year. Where wheat crops
were large, the growers OF that grain

found that at a depth OF 1000 feet IN
