Tariff Legislation

With the fourth report the tariff commission at its disposal it ought to difficult to revise the tariff than has been in the past when it was obliged to wait upon prolonged hearings of persons interested and always sefshy interested Then, after that there was rolling and trading with the result that the tariff bill was seldom an equitable bill equitable in many of its parts
 This commission report however, may not be of as much value in the emergency legislation which will be submitted today for that is intended for the meeting of temporary conditions contributed to by many factors Independent of the tariff.
 But for the complete revision of the tariff the report will be based upon surveys that have been made of the status of more than a thousand indus tries They have extended to the most important industrial nations in the world Especial attention has been given to those, from which the American producer meets the sharpest competition The iron and steel trade, the textile industries cotton wool ems and silk have investigated and comparative costs of production estimated as closely as possble Sugar chemicals dyes and dairy products are other important industries of less significance in inter national trade about which valuable data has been assembled.
 second part of the report is given to another phase of preferential treatment is contained in special transportation rates for export commodi ties and the relation of these rates to imposts now in operation in this country. Recommendations deal ing with the administration of cutoms laws dur,nir unfair competition. reciprocity and Commercial treaties are also included in the materials put at the disposal of the congressional committee dealing with this important issue
 In the past congressional practice has been too often to disregard conclusions warranted bv inc known facts in a case and to frame legislation that the result of trades in the interests of various in dustries and localities without regard to their act al needs.
 All this data has been collected by a bipartisan commission at great expense It will be unfor+unata
 U IS not considered at its full value and if the new schedues are drawn in the unscientifc way that ba generally brought tariff legislation On the ono hand' in the past the tariffs have been framed Inv those who could get the ear of congress- and ba,-o Tn securing advantages which should never nave beeen conferred upon them On the otber bana we have had tariff tinkering by theorists ,bos uleorles were based upon ideal and imaginary notion of international commercial relations r. nav be said that we have never had just ar scien+ffi tariff; only some tariff laws have been betta +ba others. 1i

Where the Blame Rests

At late meeting of traffic officers of the coun- try In Cleveland, ohio, was recognized that the stone wall against which officers trying to enforce reasonable traffic regulations find themselves is the courts Because of the Influence which many viola tors are capable of exerting. they are dismissed by the courts either entirely with light fines which invite rather than deter rpetons their offenses
 When offender is brought into court and is confronted by the arrestng officer two stories are told If the defendant is of any sort of stand ing his word, that is, of an interested witness s often taken against that the officer who has no interest in the affair except an upholder of the law
 lt is gratifying to know that in all cities this oemoralizng practice does prevail In some of them this motto is adopted: the officer is always fish If it Is shown the trial that the offender entered into argument with the officer at the time of his arrest that against him and influences me sentence which is imposed upon him.
 Now and then under this system the officer may oe m the wrong but the enforcement of traffic rules Will be the better effected by always assuming that he Is right and that there was violation of the law or no arrest would be made
 Until the traffic officers have the unopa1fd support Of the courts we cannot make much bead way in regulating traffic. Until then we will have speeding, accidents, destruction of property and killings, the responsibility for which in the mean time must rest on the courts.

THE OLD WAYS

Give me the old ways, and the undying hope mat makes the old ways new The early sun Shone no more fair that familiar slope m Spring, on trees where jessamine had run. Ihan ours of Autumn though the trees are bare And stark again, and all the flowers done The flashing cardinal still fingers there; The wind still blows; and still the memories UT spring and Summer with the Autumn share Our hearts, and make the silent ways of these A mystic forest full of storied trees Forever, but strange faces wait among Its lavish blossoms; shadows turk between The very eye and heart; the glancing song Of birds falls coldly the ear that knows No single cadence it has treasured long Give me no new ways, where the Summer rose Has a new perfume; where the mountain bends With new curve against the sky and throws New shadows where the path, upwindne ends In lonely places, desolate of friends
 No, no-old ways dearest and are best If only they have room for sun and rain Ana friends to walk beside us. For the rest our heaven is high enOugh-our hearts again once filled with love- need seek for love no more Nor dream that love itself can yet attain higher consummation. Where before
 we uod the soil is sacred; those old ways Ihose old familiar ways we walked of wore Dlm though with Autumn's long memorial have Aeep yet the hopes that lit thousand days

To Propagandists


 We do not especially whether the subjoined ever reaches the eye of the persons who may there by be benefited. It is directed, however to those concerned in the dissemination of propaganda through the newspapers, something that is becoming increasingly difficult It enough to get news paper editors to this stuff; even to open the envelopes containing it. As rule they never open them unless they have nothing else on their hands and are driven to employ themselves at some thing in order to withstand the wies of the devil who it is understood is always offering temptation to the idle
 This is about the only slender chance propa- gandists have of getting by in newspaper office If then, opening envelope the editor finds the eA closure to consist of two more sheets of paper thrust in hurriedy carelessIy some of them ,lp- side down with respect the others he baks at the task of strengthening them out dumps them into the waste paper basket without perusaI The last chance of the propagandist, and it was never a promising one, is gone. He himself is not to blame for the loss It is caused by shiftless lazy employees but the propagandist must pay the penalty

Unless party lines can be pretty well obliterated in tc remaining days\ of the short session of con grcss the program of emergency legislation cannot be executed but much of it will have go over to rho Extraordinary session of the Sixty-seventh sress. That is especially true of the emergency tariff legislation which it is almost certain will counter presidential dsapproval. With party lines drawn taut such legislation could not be passed over a veto.
 We think, though. that enough Democrats will l,e brought the support of these emergency urcs Co insure their enactment While other party m congress has ever been so subservent to the will of the party administration, the Democratic con eressmen are no longer under the thumb of the president.

From An Authoritx

We have the reassuring prediction of James B. Forgan of Chicago of the foremost bankers in the United States and leading financial authori- ties of the land that in for early period of good times. word from Mr. Forgan is of greater weight than all of the croalings of the pessmists in the country.
 As we have taken pains to point out from time to ime what is the matter with country is dis appointment with the recent past and not, more serious ailment lack confidence in early future Every well-balanced knows that the country come all right.
 There has been a natural slowing down of n- dustry within the last four months When we come to think of the we only wonder that it has not been pronounced. Near the close of the year there is always period of inactivity, taking account of probable future conditions Then, this year, there process of deflation which at first affected noticeably only prices raw ma terials Factories of all kinds naturally hesitated take commitments a period beyond which they could not clearly. This condition and this season. but for the confidence which deserted the country, might easily have brought a complete stand stl but it did not.
 We of this valley have had cause to share in the general disappointment, following such a period Of inflated prosperity. Prices of products those of every other part of the country were the Ereatest known. Wages were higher than they had ever been. There was work and there was mon ey for all People here. everywhere bought wild y. without regard the certain end of the period of Imitation which all must have known would come
 Then came the other extreme, the end of buying That partly forced But prices began to fall and No waited for them to hit what we might think was the bottom. Besides. we had bought so much that we did not really need at once, to buy more
 But now there is the beginning of an era of sensible buying and things tending again toward 1-
 the mental attitude of the people which aIwavs so much affects business conditions

THE BARBER POLE

Slowly the barber pole. "sgne O ye shaving shop" is disappearing Before it goes let's learn how it originated. It is old business-barbering. Ezekiel who wrote of the prophetical books of the Old Testament, speaks of it. The barber was an institution of note in the days ancient Greece He fourished nightly in the middle ages in Europe.
 And he encroached bit both the surgeon and the dentis. That caused strife that did not end until the French revolution Until then the barger let bood' and drew teeth. From that practice came his sign, intended to the public know that the artist could breathe vein well shave a beard.
 The spiral ribbons of the barber pole were used to indicate the bandages used before and after letting blood And' years and years ago. the ball top of the pole was copper basin with a gap on one side. Ihat was placed about the customers neck while being Iathered to save his clothes being soIed.
 The basin is extinct, the blood letting over, and barber poles themselves not prominent as they were But who will say that the barbers sign doesn't stick out like drug store on a wet and stormy mighty

MADRID, Dec. 19. - Although Mar quis De Lama, Spanish foreign minis ter, was non n-committal today when questioned regarding the reports of an important treaty having been conelud- ed between Spain and Great Britain there is an inclination in political cir cles here to give credit to the indica- tions which have found publicity re- gently that Spain intends to break away from the isolation which has been her policy since the restoration of the monarchy. The foreign minister's in- formal statement was that he was un- able to-give definite reply 10 the in quiry regarding the reported Anglo Spanish treaty, but he remarked that the relations between the two countries were of the most cordial nature.

said he was told about it ii a te!e-
gram from F. L. Morgan Of Hoqulam,
Wash, a Democratic leader.
This led to the discussion of Mr..
Moore's kilograms and caused Chair
man Kenyon to remark that the com
mittee could not be expected to sub
poenae witnesses from New Mexico,
Nevada or California" on the
strength of information from Demo-
cratic chairmen.
Circular Letter Offered.
Mr.. Moore next offered the circu-
lar letter which started a rumpus
that nearly terminated the session.
The document was addressed to
women voters of Lenawee county,
Mich, printed on national Republi-
can committee letter head, and in
formed the new voters that their
share of the county's quota of $4,000
was one-third that amount.
"Why, that is nothing but a print
ed circular without even single sig
nature in pen and ink" exclaimed
Senator Spencer.
''That has no value as evidence"
"It is good evidence unless one IS
not seeking the whole TRUTH" retort-
ed Senator Reed.
"Do you mean to say that this let

ter is not authentic, that it is for
gery?"
Mr.. Moore jumped from his seat
and addressing Senator Spencer, said
no man could accuse him of forgery.
After Chairman Kenyon had queiled
the storm. Mr.. Moore and Senator
Spencer argued as to whether the
circular proved anything, the wit
l:ess maintaining that the mere fact
that such a circular was sent out
proved that the plan to collect cam
paigr funds was widespread.
"Wel!, is there anything sinister in
that?' asked Senator Kenyon.
"No," said Senator Reed, "but if a
small county is to raise $4,000 then
enc might from that fact arrive at
some conclusions as to the amounts
to be raised throughout the country. -
Mr.. Moore next suggested that the
committee investigate newspaper re-
rorts that the national automobile
chamber of commerce had raised a
fund for Republican campaign use
and that Michigan members of that
organization had been assessed a
definite amount. He could not tell
the committee where or when the re-
port was published but said he would
try to verify it.
