PROTECTIVE TARIFF THE BEST AGENCY.
. Addressing Ihe American Manufacturers' Rrnort A snnatinn in
New York, Sir Frederick Black, of the British Admiralty, told the
members they must find the happy medium between cut-throat com
petition and monopolistic combines which preyed upon the consumer.
The suggestion was received with cheers.
"One of the greatest principles we have got to look for at the end
of the war,", said the speaker, "a to get the right kind of dompe
, tition. . . . We shall have to find the happy medium between unre-
sinciea competition that may be ruinous to all of us and that proper
vitalizing -element of competition which is good for enterprise."
The speaker concluded his address by indicating his belief that
there was little use to bother with post-war trade preparations, for
u uue cuuiu leu wnai tne terms or peace would be, and what econom
ic and territorial and tariff conditions WOllKl lip (rrol iinnn
Certain members of his audience talking the matter over among
aiierwarus, suggested that this was the attitude which
Ureat Britain took with respect to preparations for the great war.
a policy which cost John hundreds of thousands of lives and untold
millions of treasure, and a policy whieh our own administration
copied, nothwithstanding the example Great Britain had furnished us.
Protection has proved itself to be the best agency in getting the
right kind of competition for the United StatesT
It permits sufficient competition fron abroad to stabilize prices
in our market, without encouraging it to sueh a degree as to ruin
American industry and slipping labor into frayed pantaloons.
There used to.be an old shibboleth of the Democratic party, "the
tariff is the mother of the trusts."

PATRIOTIC KTEXOGRAPHER.H.
The stenographic force of the
main office of the Pheasant North
west Products Company, in the Unit
ed States Bank building, have volun
leered as a unit to enter the ranks
of the pickers and will work before
and after regular ofHce hours, going
to and from office by auto.
They Jiave -quipped themselves
with regulation farmerette outfits,
consisting of straw hats, coveralls,
etc. They want to be used where
needed, and the most they ask Is the
privilege of doing their bit towards
saving the crops.
An interesting part of their offer,
which has been handed to the -local
government employment office, is
that they will gire all their earnings
from the picking to the work of the
Red Cross. This Is the sort of co
operation and public spiritedness
that Is going to save the day for our
growers, and it is saf to say that
they will be better stenographers,
better girls, and In better healtl.
because of this undertaking and ex
perience. The following is their written of
fer: . .

Bright and oarly tomorrow morn
ing an army of registrars will set
forth on their mission of "eountlng
the noses" throughoutrthe Dominion
of Canada before the set of the sun.
It will be national registration day,
the day set apart for the Dominion
to take stock of her man and woman
power to ineet the military and in
dustrial requirements of the war.
From Halifax to Vancouver and from
the bleak shores of Hudson Bay to
the southern boundary line, the reg
istrars will gather statistics concern
ing every man and woman in the
country over 16 years of age. On the
results of this special census' the
government will base its calculations
for its measures in the. future in the
way of holding up the strength of
the Canadian contingents fighting
overseas and at tbe same time pro
viding tbe home industries with a
labor supply to meet the existing de
mands.
As every British subject over the
ag of 16 years is required to regis
ter. it is estimated that the number
of registrations will be in tbe neigh
borhood of five million. The offi
cials required for the work which
will be finished in one day are as
follows: Seventeen superintendents
231 registrars, which U practically
one for every electoral district In the
country, and 50.000 deputy regis
trars who will be in charge of the
registration booths which for the
most part will be' located in public
buildings. These booths will be op
ened from 7 a. m. to 10 p. m.
Owing to tbe difficulty of secur
ing clerical help and also office ac
commodation in Ottawa, the work of
tabulating tbe information which
will be secured will be performed In
Toronto, tit is estimated by tbe
civil service commission that it will
require 450 persons to collate the
Information, half of whom will be
French, as close on this proportion
of cards will be answered in the
French language.'
The seriousness of the reglstra
that any person failing to register
tion may be gathered from the fact
will be liable to a fine or $100. will
lose his -vote, forfeit his right to em
ployment of any kind within the Do
minion, can not travel cn any public
conveyance, nor win any hotel or
similar house of accommodation be
allowed to give him lodging.
The first appeal of the public to
comply with all the requirements of
the act will be made from a -patriotic
standpoint; the second will be an ap
peal to duty; and the third and last
appeal, for those who refuse to sign,
will take the form of a penalty un
der the law. .
in carrying out the registration
considerable responsibility will be
placed upon the large employers of
labor, who in a large measure will
be held responsible for the registra
tion or tneir employe. The heads
of factories, transportation systems
and other large industries who do
not co-operate In the movement will
una memseives In a very difficult
position, as the regulations provide
for severe punishment for- those re
fusing to sign. Those factories which
do not make every employe s'gn wfll
be under suspension, and. will be vis
ited by officers the first of next
week, and in' the event of any em
ploye being found unregistered the
owners and managers will be sub
jected to the full nenaltiea nf th
law.
Identification of every resident In
Canada regarding his or her nation
ality, occupation, and what he or she
Is capable of doing if called on. is
absolutely necessary, the government
points out. so that Industrial effort
may be centered on the most essen
tial occupations and permit of nien
being drawn from the less vital In
dustries to re-enforce the soldiers at
the front; so that concentration will
be placed on Canada's Increase in
the production of foodstuffs, muni
tions and other materials essential
to the winning of the war; and to
aid In the system of compulsory ra
tioning during the continuance of
hostilities.

Robert Littler, of Salem has been
corresponding through a transaltor
In Paris, with Alphonse Breydels. a
23-year-old Belgian lad, who Is In
active service on the Belgian front.
But upon the receipt of a recent
letter the young Belgian wrote of
bis understanding of the English
language, and could read readily.
Several gifts, such as a wrist watch,
magazine, underclothing etc.. which
were sent by Mr. Litter, have been
received, without delay.
The letter follows:
"My dear friend Robert I re
ceived your letter yesterday morn
ing, and I expect with great impat
ience the picture you promised me.
I received the parcel you sent about
Christmas.
"Our life is not a joyout one. Just
now we have a hard time to pass
through and every day we expect the
second time of the German offen
sive. If be will get through we do
not know; but we have tbe firm
hope to stand It. ' I wished it should
he the end of tbe first time they
went over. It is most likely the sec
ond will be as rough as the first-
"I saw In the papers how the lib
erty loan succeeded. It Is a great
comfort for us to know we are so
nicely remembered by our American
allies. We now are pretty sure to
have the last word' on it.
"Yes, I read English quite easily.
Of course there is no need to get
your letters translated at Paris. You
can send them directly to me. I un
derstand them.
"What do people think In America
about the issue of the war? Shall
it last a long time? I want to go
home and see my people again.
"Will you be kind enough to
send me a pair of American drawers.
The one we can find here are too
long and wram for aummer time.
I pray you don't forget your
picture. I want badly to know my
American friend beter. Hoping to
hear more of you within a short
time, I remain your sincerely.

The Story of a Honeymoon
A Wonderful Romance of Married Life Wonderfully Told If ADELE GARRISON
A TENSE MOMENT
tou ve made a great conquest.
.Madge, said Dicky, when we had
calmed down after the distressing
episode from whose danger his op
portune entrance had aared me.
"UI thinks you're about the nicest
nine piece or cauco ane has ever
measured those were her own
words. She's planning a frolic for
the whole crowd some night st
your convenience.
"That is awfully kind of her,
vnere did you see her." I prided
myself on my careless tone, but
Dicky gave tut a shrewd glance.
"Why at the studio of course
Her studio is on the same floor as
mine, yon know. Atwood and Bar
ker and she and I are all on the one
floor, and we often have a dish of
tea together when we are not
rushed.
I busied myseir wjth the coffee
machine until I could control my
voice. How I hated, the glimpses
or this Intimate friendship which
must exist between my husband and
this woman.
"I suppose we ought to have them
all over some night," I said at last,
"but I'll have to add a few things
to our equipment, and wait until 'I
get a maid.
"That will be rine.M Dicky as
sented cordially, pushing back his
chair. "Did the papers come? I'll
look them over for a little. Whistle
when you're ready and III wipe the
dishes tor you."
He strolled Into the living room,
snd I suddenly remembered that I
haid laid my letter from Jack on the
table, and with its pages scattered
so that anyone picking them up
could not help seeing them.
I had forgotten all about the let
ter. I had -meant to . ahow It to
Dicky after I bad explained about
Jack. It was not quite the letter
for a bridegroom to find wlthout'ex
pectatlon. I realized that
Dicky finds Jack's letter.
I could not get the letter without
attracting his attention. I waited
every nerve 'tense, listening to the
sounds In the next room. I heard
the rustling of the newspaper; then
a sudden silence told me his atten-
tentlon had been arrested by onie
tning. would he read the letter?
I did not think so. I knew his sense
of honor wss too keen tor that, but
I remembered that the last page
wun its signature was st the top of
the sheets as I laid them down.
That waa enough to make my loving
husband reflect a bit.
How would Dicky take It? I
wondered. I was soon to know.- I
hesrd him crush the paper In his
hand, then come quickly to the
kitchen. I pretended to be busy
with the dishes, but he strode over
to me. and-clutchlnr me br the
shoulders with a grin of the letter
before my face, and said hoarselv:
"What does this tnesn?"
"Till I see you dear. Always
your Jack."
Dicky's face was not a bImuM
sight. It repulsed and disgusted
me. subconsciously I was con
trasting the way In whkh he calmly
expected me to accept, his friend
ship for Lillian Gale and hl be
havior over this letter. Five min
utes earlier I would have exolalned
to him rally. I resolved now to
put my friendship for Jack upon the
same basis as his for Mrs. Under
wood.
A comparison strikes home.
So I looked at him cool v. "Have
you read the letter?"I I asked quiet-ly.
"Ton know I have. not t.
letter,- he snarled. "It lay on-the
PPr. I could not help bat
inis mis whatever It la. he Ha
shed lamely. "aDd I have come
straight to yoa for an explanation."
1 could have laughed at Dicky
had I been less antry. He waa so
like sa angry curious child la his
eagerness, to know everything about
Jack.
,"You have no brother. I this
nan a reiatlvel
'No." I returned demurely.
"An old lover then.-1 suppose a
confident one. I should Judge by the
tone of his leter. Won't It bo too
cruel a blow to him whea he finds
his dear little girl la married?"
DiekV. tone fairly dripped with
irony.
-He will be surprised eertsinly."
I snswered. but as he was never nf
lover. I don't think It will be any
blow to him."
"Who la he anyway? Why have"
you never told me about him? What
does he look like?"
Dicky fairly shot the questions at
n. I turned and went Into my
room. There I rummaged In a box
of old photographs until I found two
ralrly good likenesses of Jack. I
earried them to the kitchen and pnt
them In Dicky's hands. He glared
at them then threw them rfnwn on
the table.
"Humph! Looks like a gori
with the mumps." he growled.
'Who la this precious psrty, then.
It he Is not a lover or a relative?"
"He l sn old and dear friend
Hls frlenshlp means as much to me .
WH say Lillian Gale'a means
to you."
Dicky stared at' me a long, long
look aa It he had Just discovered
me. Thenhe turned oa his heeL
"Wll in be " I did not find out
what he would be. ror he went Into
his room snd slammed the door.
