What About General Wood.

Kansas City Star.
The country has waited with anx-
iety the announcing of a military
reason for the failure to make use
OF the unusual abilities OF Maj. Gen
Leonard Wood at the front. General
Wood showed his capacity as com
mander in Cuba and in the Philip
pines. In his service In the United
States he was distinguished for bis
resOurcefulness and grasp Of affairs
| Before America got into the war he
was one Of the few public officials
who appreciated the seriousness of
the situation and tried to rouse the
country to the danger.
Men OF his experience and known
ability are few. The nation can Ill
afford to lose the service OF any Of
them. But now. without explana-
ton, General wood is refused assign
ment to active service to which other
men not in his class are being sent.
Fair minded men are reluctant to
believe that any considerations save
those OF a military nature are being
permitted 10 count in the conduct Of
the war. Only "a few days ago they
applauded the presidents announce
mtut that poltlCS was temporarily
adjourned. But they cannot forget
the common gossip that General
Wood was inobad in Washington on
account OF his advocacy of prepared
ness. They cannot forget the reports
current for a long time that he was
20 be barred from active service for
reasons unconnected with his mill
tary ability. o
There is universal belief in General
Woods competency as commander.
II there are any valid reasons against
this belief the nation has right to
know them.
Unless a satisfactory explanation is
forthcoming will it be possible to
avoid the conclusion that considera-
tions other than those of the national
welfare have been decisive in the
case OF General wood?

Adequate Protection Essential.

American Economist
The administration should realize
that the best way for it to raise the
huge sums required for the running
of the government and the conduct
OF the,war is for the different indus
tries of the country-each one of
them-to be placed on as sound a
basis of prosperity as possible. only
with all of the people steadily en-
ployed at high wages will they be
able to respond in the colossal man.
ner that the administration calcu-
lates is necessary. largely, of course,
for war purposes.
This Is the time OF all times, for a
thoroughly scientific and adequately
protective tariff The Underwood
abomination will wreck us, absolute
ly, in an Industrial way, if IL is all
lowed to stand. 1T must be repealed
in its place must be substituted a
new tariff act that will provide the
maximum of protection, In order to
promote domestic industries to the
maximum of the ability of the work
men employed in them. 1t must also
supply the very maximum amount Of
revenue. Here is where science is re-
quired. not the easy-going rule-o'-
thumb variety that free-traders are
prone to, but true science that will
properly measure the industries of
the country, their possibilities, the
work-people they employ. their max
lmum capacity, the markets for their
products, both at home and abroad,
and the means of transport
How plain it is that we must have
protectionists in congress to frame
