family auto. The other day, the Unit
ed States Court of Appeals declared
that the father is responsible for the
acts of his auto driving, minor son
when the latter destroyes the lives
or limbs of pedestrains. 1 he interest
ing case originated in Cleveland,
Ohio, where a women was run down
and seriously injured by a machine
driven by a mere lad. The woman
sued and the jury gave her a verdict
for $10,000, whose payment the fath
er tried to escape by declaring in his
appeal that he was not responsible
for the acts of his son, who was using
the car without parental knowledge
or consent. 1 he Court of Appeals
sustained the lower court, deciding
that the father must pay the damages
and declaring that the fact that the
boy was using the machine without
permission did not clear the parent
from responsibility for the minor s
acts. The father who has been mul
cted in this interesting case asserts
that it was a 4-bit boy and 2-bit ma
chine that cost him $10,000. Our auto
bovs should be taught carefulness.—

Another Wilson Mistake.
1
Although the latest bulletin issued
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics
does not quote exact comparative
prices, it reveals clearly enough that
the high cost of living which the
Baltimore platform, adopted in 1912,
declared to be "a serious problem in
every American home” is as serious
now as then. The platform on which
Mr. Wilson stood and was elected,
insisted that the Republican party
was “attempting to escape from its
responsibility for high prices by de
nying that they are due to a protec
tive tariff. We take issue with them
on this subject,” it continued, “and
charge that the excessive prices re
sult in a large measure from the high
tariff laws enacted and maintained by
the Republican party.”
W'hile a great majority of the vot
ers did not think so, and voted again
st Mr. Wilson and the theory of his
platform, their vote was so divided
that he and a Democratic majority in
both houses of Congress were put in
office. They immediately proceeded
to make a sweeping reduction in tar
iff duties as if the country had given
them a direct mandate. While this
work was in progress, people were
being assured that the bottoms would
drop out when the new tariff law be
came effective. 1 he bottom of many
things did in fact drop out, as was
clearly and quickly shown in the
heavy declines in railway freight ton
nage. But that the bottom has not
dropped out of the prices of things
which enter into the cost of living,
this offisjai bulletin clearly proves.
Take too as the average of price in
seventeen commodities and forty-five
cities during 1914, comparison is
made with the average of prices in
the same commodities and cities be
tween January and September, 1915.
The most damaging admission is
found in the statement that “In Sep
tember, 1914, of 5 per cent, and were
the same as for September, 1913- I*1
September, 1913, the country was
still under the protective tariff law,
and still, according to the Baltimore
platform, groaning under the high
cost of living entailed by “the high
tariff laws enacted and maintained by
the Republican party.”

Even if there were not a thousand
other reasons why a protective tariff
is preferable for this country’s inter
ests, the fact that it prevents the un
fair competition complained of even
by the free trade officials is sufficient
argument for its adoption.
Mr. Redfield is fond of references
to the "outreach of American indus-

Press dispatches from Washington
state that the free trade members of
Congress are working overtime to
devise a means of repealing the War
Tax, “because they fear its effects on
the coming election.” In other words,
our free trade Congressmen would,
like to shift the onerous blame fro.m
their shoulders temporarily so that
they can be re-elected—immediately
to increase the burdens of the help
less taxpayers.
The Democratic method of econ
omy always contemplates the expen
diture of more money. Secretary Red
field urges the "protection” of our

but by the passage of a law "to pre

Several years ago the prosperous
city of Galveston was damaged to
the extent of millions of dollars by a
tidal wave which swept over the city.
The weather bureau had done all in
its power to warn the city of the dis

before the inhabitants of Galveston
slept peacefully. In the due course of
time an enormous sea wall was built
and the city made safe from another
such a calamity.
To-day, big business and statesmen
are warning this country to prepare
for peace, but we are sleeping peace
fully. We need the “sea wall” before
the country goes to the bad. "Tariff
for revenue only” may sound nice,
but it won’t protect the country from
the tidal wave of cheap foreign-made
goods that sweep this country when
the European war is over. In time of

A Distinctive Reason
What is the chief reason for the superi

There are several good reasons, but there
is one which distinguishes Royal from other
baking powders.
This reason, which every woman should
know, is that Royal Baking Powder is made
from cream of tartar, which comes from
grapes. This means a healthful fruit origin.
It means natural food as distinguished from
mineral substitutes used in other baking
powders.
There is no alum nor phosphate in Royal
Baking Powder.
