 Now we call that particularly un- kind The New York Tribune, from which the above was taken, has very strangely omitted to mention the fact that Hon. William Cox Redfield, sec retary of commerce is also At Home" Not only that, but he is "on the job." Possibly he would admit, if asked why he is not abroad with the rest of the government, that, "causes beyond my control have in tervened"
 The state of affairs to which the Tribune calls attention is certainly worthy of thought. With so many of the executive officers of the govern ment abroad" and the rest of them "up in the air" it would seem that it might be worth the while of the con- gress to define the official station" of the president and his cabinet officers. Many constitutional lawyers hold to the view that the absence of the Presi. dent abroad is wholly unwarranted, if not illegal. It is quite within the pos abilities that a test of the legality of his actions as President while he has been on foreign soil may yet be made. However, that may be, it would seem that the congress might well, by legal enactment, define his privileges in that respect One thing is certain when the people of the United States elected him to the Presidency, no one had in mind his departure from the territory of the United States as a self-appointed peace delegate abroad. We believe that mojority of the peo. pie of this country hold to the opinion that he had no right to leave the soil of the United States while he was President. The congress should take such action as shall settle the ques tion for all time to come.

LITTLE ACTUAL BUSINESS


 It is said that, although there are many inquiries from abroad for our dyes, there are only few actual orders. The reason for this is sus- pected to be that Japanese dealers are trying to get line on our prices in order to know what to ask for their own dyestuffs.
 The United States is not the only country which has developed dye industry on account of the war. Japan, Australia, Canada, France and Great Britain have all made remarkable progress. France and Great Britain are not, to say the least, doing any thing to aid us in building up an ex. port arade in dyestuffs. On the con trary, they are hindering all they can. In fact, they want to sell dyes here themselves. Japan is not only largely supplying her own trade, but is ex- porting to the Far East and to South American countries.
 With all these nations, not only reaching out for export trade that might well be supplied by us, but actually planning to invade our home markets, there is only one thing to be done. We must as speedily as pos sible enact tariff law which will not only be amply protective of our dye in dustry, but of all other lines as we'll.
