Phone Main 81. CONCERNING The New York Journal of Commerce, an untra-con-servative publication, gives warning to congress and to the radical protectionists who want to inject the tariff question into politics once more, that it is no time to re sume tinkering with schedules. It says editerially: "The tnrriff question cannot suceesifullv he reopened and redisposed of to day. There is as yet no certainty regarding the level to be assumed by n i (iouai outlay for defense, and hence n i certainty as to the revenue require ments. This matter may be temporarily disposed of during the current win ter, hut n much lunger lime will be required iu the working out of n consist ent policy of defense. Neither is it possible to readjust protective duties nt tnis time. The highest protection ever enacted would -probably have in creased the p.ist year's revenues little, if lit all. and could not, alone, hava yielded to domestic in lustry, the monopoly accorded to it by circumstances, l-'ree trade would have had is littlo result either iu stimulating imports or modifying domestic prices. The premature adoption of n tariff policy or the determination to adopt n certain kind ol' duties nt the close of the present war would today be nothing short id' alisurd. This is view taken by businessmen and is the sensible way to look at it. The tariff question ought to be rele gated to the rear for all time as a political question, any way; as General Hancock was once ridiculed for saying, it is a local question more than anything else. In other words eveiy section of the country wants protection on the things that it specializes in, products and manufactures, and free trade in the things other sections produce and make. That causes the trouble when congress comes to making up the schedules, and as a rule most tariff laws are a result of a long session of placating and compromis ing, in the effort to satisfy the conflicting demands of different sections and interests.. The present tariff law has proven that high tariff does not make high prices for many of the products affected, as may be noted in the case of wool and sugar. Neither does it mean high wages for workingmen, since the form er highly protected industries, steel and iron and woolen goods, are under the present reduced tariff rates paying the highest wages in the history of the country. What this nation needs today is a sensible view upon the part of statesmen, a view taken from the standpoint of American citizenship of the patriotic kind, rather than a view from the standpoint of partisans and privilege seekers. THE TELEPHONE GIRL It is the uniformity, the entire lack of exception to the rule, which makes the story of the telephone girl in times of stress so noteworthy. With a long record of heroism back of her there is nothing surprising in the story that came from Belgium at the beginning of the war of the telephone girl at Dahlen, or the one told of the Russian girl at Novorassysk. The Belgian girl observed the battle going on around her, undisturbed by the danger she was in, telephoned the officers of the forts that they were not properly plac ing their shells. Guided by her instructions over the telephone, they found the right range, and "regulated their fire effectively." She continued to direct the Belgian fire until a German shell destroyed the office she was in and killed her. The Russian girl stayed at her post when everybody pise had fled and did her work with shelU falling around her. The decoration "for valor under fire" was never more worthily granted to any soldier. The telephone girl at Dahlen and the one at Novor assyk keep up the traditions established at many a fire and flood. a How shall we account for this record without excep tion ? Let us not try to account for it, but simply take off our hats to her. Mr. Ford has been disillusioned, says the St. Louis Globe Democrat. Although he did not come in touch with any of the nations at war, he got near enough to learn that the people themselves are responsible for the fight ing. If he had gone a little closer he would have found that they are fighting because they believe it is right to fight; he would have found that, without a single racial exception, they are in general in full accord with the pur pose of their respective governments, and are sacrificing LADD & BUSH, Bankers Established 1SGS CAPITAL Transact a General Banking: Business Safety Deposit Boxes SAVINGS DEPARTMENT Ptg.

Whatever may have been the original causes of the war, however mistaken or pernicious the influences behind it, he could have found no support for the American notion that is was due to the desire of certain individuals to find a market for guns. Evidently he did not find support for it, even at the edge of the Continent, and now that he has returned with a new and a wiser view, he may learn the truth that even in the United States it is the people themselves who are back of the demand for preparedness, and, if necessary, for the maintenance of their honor and their rights, for war. Ex-President Taft declares that a "real" Republican must be the standard bearer for the Republican party in 1916. While we do not profess to know much about G. O. P. politics, we are inclined to think that this remark is in tended to be a slap at Colonel Teddy and his progressive followers. The English seem to have retired from the Dardan elles for "strategic reasons," although the presence of a horde of ill-humored Turks in the neighborhood might have had something to do with it. Germany is soon to float another war loan, this one for $2,500,000,000. Her chemists must have learned how to make synthetic money as well as synthetic food, says the New York Evening Sun. According to the Federal v Trade Commission over 100,000 corporations in this country have no income what ever. These are probably the good corporations that we sometimes hear about. RipplingRhijmos Walt ' SWEARING OFF On New Year's Day the world-worn jay, who's tired of beer and bitters, frames up an oath to cut our both, and join the Pumpville critters. In gilded halls he's boueht highballs, and brandv bv the nonv. r ' 1 m i ' and blown his kale for foaming ale, and found the whole thing phony. He's worn old rags while placing jags his saturated hide in, for lads who booze can't have good shoes and clothes they take a pride in. He had a place, but in disgrace, was fired by his employer; for boys who drink the old red ink find it the job destroyer. He's looped the loops with noisy troops of youths who raise the dickens; he's bumped the bumps, and, in the dumps, repentance throbs and quickens. Swear off, young man, while yet you can, and leave the booze behind you; the suds you buy, the rot-and-rye, will poison you and blind you. Swear off, tired heart, the water cart is waiting at the portal, to bear you far from gilded bar, to where men sing and chortle. To Hydrantgrad it goes, my lad; climb on, ere it's a goner! There you'll win back the things you lack, your self respect, your honor. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS H. C, 1'ettit to Eriuingarde Carey part II. Leslie claim, !, 7, !l W; part. X. V.

Rue barn in Kvatu Vnllev Monday morning about eight o'clock nnd soon destroyed the building. The family did not arise nt their usual hour that, morning, due to sickness among tho children. Mr. Rue being the first one up, happened to look toward the burn and was aninr.cd to see a small flame shoot upward from the lost. H ran to tit barn at the miiii time call ing to the family, and was successful in getting the stock out. One of the boys reached the loft with ft pail of water and nearly smothered the fire, but whllo he was after more water the flames gained such headway that the barn could not be ssved. The neighbors were prompt hi going to Mr, Rue's aid, otherwise the sur rounding buildings would surely have burned. The ginnnry and machine shed, which were only twelve feet from the burning barn, wero saved. The barn wan praeticallv 1 new on, was !flx:i(l, with a SO foot poet.

BEHIND SOCIETY'S CURTAIN (By Hezekiah Snodgrass.) (A thrilling realistic novel of high life. Published by the Wadsworth Mealy Company.) Pvii'ishei's Note. Mr. Snodgrass, believing that no author should write nt mat'ers wherein he la not fully In formed, and being, moreover, a firm believer in the literary value of "local olor", spent two days In New York City last winter. He visited the pur lieus of wealth, and even looked In the windows of some of the houses in Fifth Avenue. The results of this indefatigable research he has embod ied In this novel, which, while posses sing all the charm of a romance, Is. Loverthcless, a ruthless exposition of the terrible state of affairs existing Dehlnd Society's Curtain." Chapter I. It was evening. The beautiful par lor in the palatial residence of the Kversleys was brilliantly illuminated with three large lamps. Before the flickering firelight of the grate sat Seraphita Eversley, Reginald Evers ley's lawful wedded wife. Her white hands were folded Idly In her lap. She was the child of luxury and those ex quisite white hands had never been condemned to the drudgery of hard work. She kept two hired girls, so that she did not even have to make the beds or sweep off the front stoop. A ring was suddenly heard at the front door bell. A moment later the hired girl appeared at the door and said: "It's him, Miss' Eversley." "Tell him to walk right In," com manded the lady, Imperiously. A moment later a man entered the room with the grace and figure of an Adonis. "Take a chair," said Mrs. Eversley, milling sweetly at him, but trembling r little, though she did not know why. "Don't care If I do," he replied, air ily; and, laying his hat and coat on the piano, he drew a chair to her sldo in front of the fire and lighted a tra gi ant Havana cigar. "Where's Reginald?" he asked, icrowling fiercely Into the flames. "Oh! He's at the club, as usual," vhe replied, wearily. "He seeins to do nothing else in the evening except go lo that dreadful club and play cards ind dominos for money, and drink nhiskey nnd beer. It's horrible shs fxclalnied. t "Yes," agreed the man, whose aris tocratic sounding, name was Francis Plesslngham; "yes he ought to be learned belter but It's all the better lor me." "W'ny, what are you thinking of"" she asked, raising her eyebrows, gent ly. "I'm thinking that you are just too Bweet for anything," he compliment ed gracefully, speaking the French with an almost perfect accent. "How lovely you speak French!" she observed, toying with the charms on his watch chain. "You speak al most like a French person." "Yes," he replied; "people often tell me so. It may be because the room ! was born in was furnished with Louis Quince's furniture." Tlrere was a long silence, while ho puffed away on his cigar and watch ed tho firelight playing among her beautiful tresses, wherrMt looked like little red grasshoppers jumping n round. At last he threw the butt of his rig nr Into the fire and burst out: "My nngel! My dear one! I love you! Lot's murder your husband nnd run nwny together!" She raised her blushing face to his, and he knew that Reginald Eversley's fate was sealed. And thus It was that the snake of vll squirmed Into tho home of Regl raid Eversley, bearing upon Its back ft terrible burden of woe, shame and expense.
