Revision of the Tariff

The Republican party pledges itself
to revision of the tariff on scien-
tific basis, namely, that the dearest
portion of the necessary supply Of
given product shall be the point from
which the difference in wages shall be
calculated. This difference shall be
the amount Of tariff on that product.

Sir: In order to end the general un-
settlement Of the present labor situa-

Good Roads for All
Suggested as a Plank

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: I wish to enter the following
Us a Republican platform plank:
Good roads for all.
A good roads policy should begin with
the country or dirt road, working up
through the various graduations Of
surfacings as seems to be required by
the traffic.
Good roads for all means. an entire
change of present policies. It means a
broad minded policy. II our road

no more proper place to start that
naturalization than in the sparty plat
to live up to It,. A. A. YOUNG.

National Solidarity

While deprecating all suggestion
OF compulsory military service such
as has obtained in Europe and which
proved of no avail as prevention OF
the catastrophy of war, the Repub-
lican party strongly advocates that
there shall be taught in all schools

'ty which insure the morale that
a country must have for united ac-
ton when war comes.-L Brown, p.

Reconstruction at Home

We believe it is our duty to start
reconstruction at home and to pro-
tcct our commerce with other ma
tions by a reasonable tariff, to pre-
vent them from using our markets
as a dumping ground, detrimental to
both labor and capital. In the in

Answers to Previous Questions.
How does the appearance of
the owl in day time affect the birds?
The owl is the great bugaboo Of
the feathered tribes. His appearance
by day Is hailed bv shouts OF alarm
and derision from nearly every bird
that flies, from crows down to spar
rows. They swarm about him like
flies, and literally mob him back
into his dusky retreat. Silence is as

the uproar that grects him when he
energies into the open day seems to
alarm and confuse him as It does

2.-Of what does the hornet make
paper?
The hornet was the first paper
maker and holds the original patent.
The paper It makes is about like
that OF the newspaper; nearly as
firm, and made of essentially the
same material, woody f1bers scraped
from old rails and boards. And there
