THE FREn1NGHUYsEN PLAN.

Senator Frelinghuysen's amendment
to the tariff bill proposes to establish
a United States tariff commission of
ten members. of whom not more than
five are to be of the same political
party and all are to "be selected be-
cause of their experience and fitness"
Mr.. Frelinghuysen would have con-
gress appropriate 100000 for the
expenses of the commission. The
commission is to. furnish congress
with the necessary data" to fix rates
of duty that would equalize differ
enees in the cost and in competitive
conditions between articles produced
in the United States and those pro-.
duced in foreign countries and to
amend rates from time to time. I'm
porters and American producers or
sellers may be required to give a
sworn statement of their selling prices
in the United States. But what is the
sion to furnish data which congress
won't use?
The New York Times points out
that there is a United States tariff
commission now which collects facts
for the benefit of congress. What at
tention does congress pay to them?
1t accepts them sometimes, when they
are in line with the high protection
list policy. When they are not. it
kicks them contemptuously away.
Would it give any more heed to the
findings OF the commission of ten
than it does to those of the commits
sion of five?
Forty years ago. when protection
was sane and moderate compared
with the present brand, congress
passed an act establishing a tariff
commission charged with reporting at
the next session what change of tariff
rates was desirable. Most of the
members were orthodox high protec-
tionists. The president of the COM
mission was secretary of the Wool
Manufacturers association. The re-
port was submitted to congress at the
beginning Of the session of 1SS2-SS
The house couldn't agree on any &C
ton in regard to the report Finally,
the senate added as an amendment
to a house bill for the reduction of
internal taxation a tariff bill that fol-
lowed. on the whole. the recommen-
dations of the tariff commission. In
conference rates were raised above
those of the senate ball, and even over
those which the house had been ready
to take. A large amount of the re-
auctions proposed by the commission
and accepted by the senate disap-
peared before the bill was passed.
If the protectionists won't swallow
the findings of a highly partisan and
pretectfonist commission, what favor

GARDEN ROSES.

A single rose is fair to see, the dollar kind

And in it's slender silver cup, provides q
touch Of lovely grace,
Tall, straight and perfect and precise. a
But there's ioTeiier sight to see e the roses
in a garden grown,
Old shioned blooms of red and white with
all the petals fully blown
The florist might not call them fine. the
artists eye might fail to see
True beauty in SO mixed a mass, but still
they mean a lot to me.
I've known this rich bouquet for years,
with every summer that has been
Always upon the table there this glorious
cluster I have seen,
And can call them all by name, this red
one shading almost black

has seemed to rule the place.
The giant of the garden plot, and scofnful

Lighting our rooms from day to day and

I viii admit the florists art and grant the
grace his blooms possess,
But those old-fashioned roses seem to hold
much more Of loneliness,
And can bend above a bowl some gentle
hand has filled with care,
And seem to see once more the smiles Of
all my long-iost friendships there.
I need no catalogue or guide, in bowl or By
Like old-time friends I know their names,
and I'm at home among them all.

That pensions are conducive to
longevity may be doubted, but it is
fact none-the-less that pensioners
cling to the rolls surprisingly long
time. The last survivor of the Revo-
lutionary war did not die until 1869,
and on June 80, 1910, the pension lists
still contained the name of one daugh-
ter of a Revolutionary soldier, the
daughters having been pensioned by
special acts of the congress. At the
close of the fiscal year 1915-1916
there were lis widows of veterans of
the war Of 1912 still drawing pensions
from the government, while on the
same date there were 4.29s Mexican
war pensioners on the rolls, SIS of
these being survivors and the others,
widows AS for Civil war veterans and
their widows and dependents who are
still pensioners, their name Is legion,
and the government is disbursing ap-
proximately $240. 900, 900 to them each

R,Anor unions are organizing banks
in various parts of the country in ad-
dition to those already established.
This move on the part OF the unions
is a fine thing for the country and
should receive every announcement.
The more union labor banks We have,
the fewer strikes there will be. Moth
ing is harder on the banking business
than failure OF the big industries
to function. General employment Of
labor, with its accompanying national
prosperity, is necessary 10 the we'll
being of the banking business. Banks
thrive when the country Is prosper
ous and suffer when times are bad.
This fact has been illustrated recently
when a slump in the farming industry
was followed by the collapse of a large
number of banks. In time of strike
workers would cease to make deposits
in their own banks and woulA with
draw their savings. The effect of
such action on the banks can easily be
ina gined.

What may fairly be regarded as the
view of Wall street on the existing
strikes is set forth in a bulletin issued
by the National Bank of Commerce of
New York. which says: 1.-THE United
States is in the midst of widespread
labor troubles. 1t is useless to de-
claim against the spirit that has
brought this situation to pass. Each
side in both the railroad and coal
strikes believes it is justified. Work
men do not lightly sacrifice their
earning power. or corporations care
lessly take the risk of damage so
their property or thoughtIessly forego
the hope of profits for a long period.
That section OF the public which is not
directly concerned is an equal suf-
ferer for these conflicts are certain to
be felt in lessened productivity ana
restricted distribution in every line.
The only settlements which can be
ultimately in the public interest are
fair settlements. and the public has
the right to take all measures which
may serve promptly to bring them
about"

Mothers know SO little of the psy-

they apparently never find out that
children are even Yainer than grown
people. and may be flattered into do
ing things that wild horses could not
drive them into doing. You can COR

manners a million times, and he or

little lady or gentleman.

Most of us. ara clay in the hands of

find that she can do more with her
children with praise than faultfinding,

Clothes If she will call attention to
their proficiency in their studies they
will strive to make good her enco-

live up to the standards she has set

A diplomatic mother will also find
that little 1udicious ridicule is more
effective than many sermons No
other creature on earth is as sensitive
as a child, and no mother with a
heart in her bosom, or a grain of
sense in her head ever laughs at her
child. But she turns the battery of
her humor with deadly effect on the
things from which she wishes to save
her child.
You may tell a girl. for instance.
that man is drunkard, a roue. and
that he is trifling and no account.
and she will love him and marry him
still, but laugh at him for being pro.

attention to his trousers being too
baggy, or too tight, and you olsen

The thing that infuriates the young
more than anything else is to be treat

matte mother knows this. and she
suggests instead of orders; she con-

things, and nine times out of ten the
young when they have had their dig

more mature judgment.
And the tactful mother never nags.

Involuntary unemployment has
ceased to be disturbing. It might be
said that any able. Industrious man
need not be without work. 1t is true
that the labor situation is unsatisfac-
tory in some lines, and it is estimated
that 1,260.0oo operatives in various
industries are out of work on account
OF strikes. However, this is not due
to any weakness in the general eco
non1ic and industrial situation. 1t is
unfortunate that just when the coun-
try was entering upon a new era of
prosperity it should be checked by
these strikes.
