MUCH NOW AT STAKE
INTERESTS OF ALL BOUND UP IN
TARIFF.
Wisdom and Patriotism Must Be Lib
erally Employed If the Country
Is Not to Be Called Onto
Suffer Loss.
Tho tariff is a subject In which the
workingman Is us much interested as
Is the manufacturer, and he has a
double Interest in the subject because
he is a consumer as well as a com
petitor with foreign labor.
The first national tariff was levied
In 1789, soon after it was authorized
by the constitution. It was wholly
for revenue and imposed a duty of
about 8 per cent, ad valorem on all
Imported goods. The entire country
depended on agriculture and most of
the manufacturing was spinning and
weaving, done in the homes of the
people.
Finally cotton and woolen mills
were established in New England, and
in the war of 1812-14 with Great Brit
ain foreign trade was largely cut off
and dependence was had on home
manufactures, which were consider
ably increased. In 1810 the tariff was
raised to 25 per cent., the agricultural
south actively protesting. In 1828 a
tariff on raw material for the beneflt
of the manufacturers was levied, and
in 1836 still other duties were laid on
metals and agricultural products. This
was the tariff that South Carolina nul
lified until she was repressed into
obedience by General (then Presi
dent) Jackson.
The south from the first was the
most uncompromising protestant
against any tariff that possessed any
protective features until recent years,
when the manufacture of cotton goods
has become a great industry in this
section, and several of the southern
states ask for protection from the
sugar of Germany and the tropics, and
from the rice of China and Japan, and
from the free low-grade timber from
Canada.
Thus it is seen that the south is no
longer the out-and-out free trade sec
tion it once was. Nevertheless, the
Democratic party, in which the south
predominates, comes very near being
a free trade party.
Of course, this is going to make
trouble, because just as soon as the
Democrats get possession of the pop
ular house of congress they propose
to plunge right into tariff revision.
They threaten to rip the present tariff
law right down the back and up again.
It will unsettle business to a serious
degree and may end by driving a large
body of the southern people into the
Republican party, as was the case
when tariff agitation over free sugar
did that for a number of our Louis
iana sugar planters.
It will be useless to attempt to rea
son with headstrong partisans, who,
having been long out of political pow
er and having finally got in, are de
termined to enforce their power to
the last extreme of domination. But
there is always a wise and prudent
element that has the public good at
heart.
Its members recognize that there
are vast and diverse interests at
stake, and therefore an effort of com
promise is necessary that will con
serve to a reasonable degree the in
terests of all. The American pro
ducer, manufacturer and wage-earner
must not be placed at the mercy of
foreign pauper labor, nor must the
consumer be forced to pay heavy
tribute to any protected interest. The
just rights of all must be regarded
and preserved.
The tariff i 3 going to be a great
issue before the country when the
next congress shall take it up, and it
must be approached with extreme care
and all the wisdom and patriotism
possible.
Will Mr. Clark "Make Good?"
The recent evasive utterances of tho
speaker-to-be of tiie house of repre
sentatives, Hon. Beauchamp Clark of
Missouri, with respect to tariff legis
lation when the Democrats shall come
into control of the house contrast odd
ly with tlie clear and binding declara
tions made by this same Mr. Clark at
a Tammany hail celebration in New
York city last Fourth of July at a
time when there was no re|l expecta
tion of Democratic success. In the
course of ills remarks upon that occa
sion Mr. Clark said:
"If we have the next house, as I be
lieve we will have, we will honestly
and courageously report a bill to re
vise the tariff down to a revenue basis,
pass it through the house ami send It
over to the uenale. Perhaps by that
time the senate, yielding to the pub-
He demand, will also pass It. If it
does not, we will goto tho people on
that Issue In 1912."
I ills is very much to tho purpose.
But- will Mr Clark remember It and
»t. iid by It? There Is reason to fear
that he will not.

HARMON NOT STRONG LEADER
3mall Chance for Ohio Governor to
Secure for His Party a National
Victory.
Everything that Gov. Judson Har
mon has done or failed to do, all that
ho lias said or omitted to say, since
his re-election has Justified the cam
paign charge so forcibly and so fu
tllely made, that he has neither cour
age nor vision enough to be a real
leader of men, in a great state and In
a time of uplift and progress. There
is no light or inspiration in the chief
executive of Ohio.
He does not urge action along the
lines on which public Interest is cen
tered. He maps out no broad and
epochal advance. He unmistakably
and ignobly dodges dynamic Issues of
the day. Even in the choice of a
United States senator, his course Is
plainly dictated by prudence rather
than the convictions of a strong and
courageous man.
Judge Harmon is werring the fet
tering ambitions of a presidential can
didate. He dreads the possible con
sequences of taking a decided stand
on any dangerous question of the day.
He serves Ohio as governor with his
mind ever on the White House and
the double campaign for nomination
and election which must precede his
attainment of that goal.
All this Is what the governor's op
ponents told the people of his state
last fall, but then the warnings fell
on deaf ears because it was not Har
mon that, constituted the real issue of
the campaign. His election was not
a testimonial to him, but a rebuke to
the dominant forces in the Republican
organization in Ohio.
Twice Judson Harmon has been
swept into office by an accident of
politics, but such luck has its limits.
No man who is not a real leader of
the American people can maintain a
position in public life which ought to
Imply overshadowing personal talents
and natural mastery in great affairs.—
Cleveland Leader.
The Ticklish Tariff-Test.
Fresh illustration of the apprehen
siveness of certain Democratic gentle
men as to where "tariff reform" may
break out when their party gets a
chance at. the job is furnished by the
way in which they are trying to
"shoo" Senator Bailey ofT the track.
Senator Hailey, as has come to be
pretty well known, belongs to that
considerable contingent of southern
Democrats who have seen new light
on the tariff question. Several of
them affirm that they are protection
ists and do not care who knows it.
Senator Bailey is not quite so out
spoken. but he does advocate a duty
on certain "raw materials." And, be
it said, proposing a duty on raw ma
terials is, In the eyes of a real, true
blue Democratic tariff reformer, the
unpardonable economic sin. Yet there
comes "from Washington the rumor
that Senator Bailey is using his In
fluence to secure the creation, In the
next Democratic house of representa
tives, of a committee on ways and
means that will favor a "tax" on raw
materials. Senator Bailey is from
Texas, not from Missouri, and there is
no necessity for "showing" him. He
knows that Texas raises a whole lot
of things that are "raw materials" for
various industries, and some that are
important food-products. So why
should there not be a duty on cotton,
rice, a wide variety of vegetables,
corn, hay, and other products ci
Texas?
Getting the Information.
No one who has been through the
campaign of cross-purposes which
chiefly characterizes the process of
tariff revision can fail to realize the
Impossibility of evading under the old
system the consequences in< Jog-roll
ing, or of accurately sifting the truth
from the exaggerated statements of
those financially Interested in the
maintenance or the Increase of tariffs.
The commission method of investigat
ing by the aid of non partisan experts
the details of manufacture and produc
tion at home and abroad will at least
furnish the congress a body of Infor
mation that will he authoritative and
colorless. It will obviously impose no
obligation upon senators or represent
atives to accept the conclusions of
such official and Impartial Investiga
tors, but the publication of the results
of such inquiries will create a force
of enllghted public opinion that al
most certainly will bo a bulwark
against many of the Inequalities and
blemishes in all tarifT laws, past and
present.—Chicago Tribune.
Influence.
Otie of the reasons assigned by
Champ Clark for opposing the exist
ing tarifT commission Is that under
the constitution such a commission
shall be merely advisory In character.
This luck of authority, he Insists,
would make Its work futile.
It might be observed that the result
of the recent election was chit-fly due
to advisory Influences, such ns articles
In newspapers und mngazlnea, that
had nu authority whatsoever. Yet
these Influences seem to have Insured
the election of Mr. ("lurk us speaker
of the next house
The present minority lender ought
to be the IHHI man on enrth to under
value the power of Influence In the
moderu world.

Ways of Serving Chicken.
Chicken need not be an extravagant
dish, as the bits of left-over meat may
be worked Into croquettes, salads,
creamed chicken and numerous other
dishes. The bones of the chicken
need not be wasted, as they will make
soup and broths.
Chicken a la Marengo.—This Is said
to be the dish that was served Napo
leon after the battle of Marengo.
Singe and clean a five-pound chicken,
cut it up as for a fricassee. In a
saucepan melt two tablespoonfuls of
butter and add three tablespoonfuls
of olive oil. When it is hot, add the
white meat, with salt, pepper and a
clove of garlic. Mix and cook over
the heat until each piece Is a golden
brown. Have ready a tomato sauce
made from a can of tomatoes, a little
onion, parsley, carrot and celery
which have been cooked until thick,
then rubbed through a sieve, and a
tablespoonful of butter added. To the
chicken add a pound of fresh mush
rooms which have been peeled and
sauted in a little butter for five min
utes. Arrange the chicken on a plat
ter and add to the gravy three ta
blespoonfuls of tomato puree; stir
until it is hot. Pour over the chicken
and serve.
Chicken Giblets on Toast. —Cook
the giblets until tender over a slow
fire, then chop fine; add the broth
in which they were cooked, season
with salt, pepper and a little onion,
add a half qup of hot cream. Pour
over buttered toast and serve.
Chicken Croquettes.—Boil a young
chicken until tender, cut the meat
Into dice. Saute in butter a half
pound of fresh mushrooms, make a
cream sauce, using the broth and
equal quantity of cream in making
the sauce; use three tablespoonfuls
of butter and three of flour; cook to
gether, then add a cup each of broth
and thick cream.
Chicken cut up and baked in milk
is a new dish to many. Cover the
first hour of cooking and remove the
cover to brown. Thicken the milk
for a gravy and serve poured around
the chicken.

For Washington's Birthday.
The red, white and blue of the flag
seems to be the appropriate color
scheme for Washington Birthday en
tertainments. There are so many
pretty little things in the shops that
may be used for this occasion. Boxes
made in the form of drums or cocked
hats, which may be used for salted
nuts or bonbons.
Small flags tied to stand make very
pretty decoration; they may be used
to hold the place card.
Fondant made into balls and dipped
Into chocolate make very real-looking
cannon balls, and if piled canon-ball
fashion add to the appropriately dec
orated table.
Cherries are, of course, the fruit
most appropriate to the occasion, and
may be used In numerous ways for
decoration or on food combinations.
For a children's party, a nice little
surprise cake may be made, using
the ordinary sponge cake mixture,
which is more wholesome than the
rich cup cakes for the little people.
Hake them in gem pans, the little
brownie irons are a nice shape.
When cold, cut off a slice and scoop
out the center, fill them with preserved
cherries, put back the slice ajid cover
with a boiled frosting or dip them in
softened fondant.
Pineapple Lemonade.
Make a sirup by boiling two cupfuls
nf sugar and a cup of water together
ten minutes, add the Juice of three
lentous and one can of grated pine
apple. Cool, strain and dilute with
one quart of water.
A delicious sandwich to serve with
fhis lemonade Is cottage cheese, well
seasoned with salt and well mixed
with chopped candied cherries.
French chops may bo arranged on
n platter to simulate a cannon and po
tatoes cut into bulls and browned In
fat may be piled to look like cannon
balls. Tile potatoes should first be par
boiled until tender, then
browned In hot nit.

THE SCHOOLS OF
WESTERN CANADA
in Some of the Cities and Towns th#
School Buildings Cannot Accom
modate the Increasing Num
bers.
One of the most important factors
In the building of a new country is
the attention that is paid by the au
thorities to the education of the rising
generation. Fortunately for western
Canada, the settlement of that new
country began in such recent years
that It was able to lay a foundation
for this work, gained by the experi
ence of older countries. In this way
the very best Is the result. Through
out the entire country are to be seen
'.he most improved stylo of architec
ture in school buildings. The cities
and towns vie with each other in the
efforts to secure the best of accom
modation and at the same time get
architectural lines that would appeal.
Sufficient to say that nowhere is there
the greater attention paid to elemen
tary and advanced education than in
western Canada. A report just to
hand shows that In Calgary, Alberta,
there are eighty teachers employed,
and the enrollment 4,228 pupils. In
the I'rovince of Alberta there was a
total of 46,000 pupils attending schools
in 1909. The total enrollment for the
year In city, town and village schools
was 22.853, and the total in rural
schools was 23,165. There are in the
province 970 schools with 1,323 de
partments. At the close of 1909 there
was a total of 1,096 school districts in
the province. Great attention is paid
also to agricultural education. The
best uses of the soil and such other
matters as tend to make the agricul
ture less of a drudge and more of a
success are employed. When there
Is the combination of good soil, splen
did climate and healthy and advanced
ideas in the methods employed in
agriculture, we see accomplished the
results that have placed western Can
ada on its present high plane in the
agricultural world. There is to be
found men of high standing in liter
ary spheres as well as in financial
circles who are carrying on farming,
not alone for the pleasure they de
rive but for the profit they secure.
Mr. Adler, a wide-awake business man
of New York, has a ranch near Strath
more, Alberta. He is highly pleased
with his success the past year. He
says:
"On July 25th we estimated our crop
at 6,000 bushels of wheat. A week
later we increased our estimate to
12,000 bushels. A few days later we
again increased our estimate, this
time to 18,000 bushels, but after har
vest in September we found we had
20,150 bushels. If that Isn't a record,
what is?" he asked.
"This crop was made with practi
cally no moisture," he continued, "and
we now have a better opinion of tha
fertility of Alberta lands than ever
and value our lands higher than we
ever did before."
Mr. Adler, who has been on the
ranch for about a week, leaves for
New York Saturday.
This gentleman is conducting a farm
on a large scale, and has plenty of
means to develop It, and his may not
be taken as a fair case. There are,
though, instances of thousands who
have begun life on small farms in
western Canada with but brains and
the determination over and above the
couple of hundred dollars in ready
money that they possessed, and today
are owners of largo farms and hand
some incomes, all the result of their
efforts on land that was responsive to
the touch of the hand that held the
plow. Instances such as these can be
quoted if you will communicate with
the nearest Canadian government
pgent. who will also mail you free de
scriptive literature.
