Proper Tariff Duties Would Ea-

Higher tariff protection, according
■o tha report of a committee of the
tmerlcan Chemical society, is abao>
utely needed. The present duty of
10 par cent ad valorem on Imported
lyes has been In force many yearn,
>ut It has not created an American
■oal-tar Industry. The committee
tolds that a specific duty of 7ty cents
i pound muat be added to the 30 per
:ent ad valorem to give real pro-
ectlon. The small specific duty
vould shut out the cheap dyes which
ire so largely used here, while the 30
>er cent duty would be sufficient, as
low, on high-priced dyes.
There is plenty of raw material
iroduced In this country, the present
production of coal tar being sufficient
'or supplying the textile Industries
*ith dyestuffs. But the Industry can*
lot be established here without bet-
ter tariff protection. Tbe problem la
whether the public Is willing to pay
lor controlling its own sources—for In
•he long run the cost would fall on
•he general public. Textile manufac-
turers, naturally enough, have always
opposed raising the duty on dyes. It
an Interesting question whether
their present difficulties. Including
their lack of many desired colon, and
much higher prices for those they do
ibtsin, will work a change of mind In
them. The conclusion of the debate
Is that we can have a coal-tar in-
lustry If we want to make the neces-
sary changes. For a decision. It Is
lecessary that the public should know
what changes are required, and that
these concern almost exclusively the
tariff, and the matter of co-operation
imong the color makers. — Boston

Our “Ignoble Peace.”
They (Wilson and Bryan) take the
riew that when we are asked to redeem
In the concrete promises we made In
the abstract our duty Is to disregard
>ur obligations and to preserve Ignoble
peace for ourselves by regarding with
pold-blooded and timid Indifference the
most frightful ravages of war commit-
ted at the expense of a peaceful and
unoffending country. This Is tbe cult
pf cowardice. That President Wilson
and Mr. Bryan profess It and put It In
action would be of small consequence
If only they themselves were con-
cerned. The Importance of their ac-
tion Is that It commits the United
States.—Theodore Roosevelt In the In-
dependent
A Mind With No Sidetracks.
Why Is It that the administration
will persist in following certain Ideas
when every available scrap of infor-
mation as to them indicates that they
are wrongly conceived? The official
attitude towards Mexico has been a
mistaken one from the beginning.
The cotton-loan pool was opposed by
bard-headed bankers whose business
it is to know economic condlttona;
the ship-purchase bill is opposed by
business interests the country over.
The fact that the cotton-loan plan
would help the administration out of
a difficult political situation was not
a sound reason for forcing that plan
on the bankers.—Buffalo Express.
The President to Business.
In his speech to the American Elec-
tric Railway association at Washing-
ton President Wilson said:
“It seems to me that I can say with
s good deal of confidence that we are
upon the eve of a new era of enter-
prise and of prosperity."
The president has been saying this
for more than a year. Indeed, he has
gone much further; he said that the
era of prosperity had arrived and that
tbe blindness to it was purely psycho-
logical. Apparently he was mistaken
In his former utterances. The amend-
ment is accepted with hopes that the
new guess may come out true.
When the Mists Will Blow Away.
The president seems to have had an-
other vision of the good time coming,
•ays the Baltimore American. In bis
speech at the Electric Railway conven-
tion he declared, “I feel that the mists
and the mlasmlc airs of suspicion that
have filled the business world have
now blown away.” Well, the mists
snd the miasma will doubtless blow
away eventually—say along about the
first Tuesday after the first Monday
in November of next year.
Psychological Money Unacceptable.
“There's nothing the mstter with
American business except a state ol
mind," says Mr. Wilson. “If you are
going to buy It, buy It now." Yes, but
the trouble Is the storekeeper won’t
aecept psychological money.
Makes Friends Orlovs.
It becomes clearer from day to day
that the speech recently made at In-
dianapolis by President Wilson Is one
which makes his most Judicious
friends grieve and vainly wish It her
not been spoken. Unfortunately fot
President Wilson, he seems to hsvs
near blm and In his confidence no
sagacious and competent adviser la
inch matters, or, what Is probably the
ease, he Is. so convinced of his owa
self-sufficiency, If not Infallibility, at
to bo tnonpablo of soeMnff or reed*
lag counsel.—Hartford Cournot

The United States Wheat Pro*
duotion Admits of 100 Mil-
lion Bushels for Export.
The talk In the press some little
time back of placing an embargo on
wheat, brought forcibly to the minds
of the people of the United States a
condition that may at some time In
the near future face them. 100 mil-
lion bushels of an export of wheat
means a splendid revenue to tbe
country as well as to the farmer,
and If this were assured year after
year, there would be reason for con-
siderable congratulation. But last
year's magnificent and abundant
crop, which was estimated at 891
million bushels, cannot be expected
every year. With a home consump-
tion of 775 million bushels, and a
production In many years of little
more than this, the fact is apparent
that at an early date the United
States will have to Import wheat. It
will be then that the people of the
United States will be looking to other
markets for a supply. And It Is then
that the value of Western Canada
lands will be viewed with consider-
able favor. The great area of wheat
lands in Canada will then be called
upon to provide the greatest portion
of the old world's supply, and also, in
the opinion of the writer, that of the
United States as well. At present
there are only about 12 million acres
of these lands producing wheat. There
are five times that many acres that
can be brought under successful culti-
vation. Apart altogether from the
value of these lands as wheat pro-
ducers there is an increased value to
them from the fact that the soil is
especially adapted to the growing of
many other kinds of grain as well as
all manner of cultivated grasses,
while the native grasses are a won-
derful asset In themselves. The cli-
mate is especially favorable to the
raising of live stock, such as horses,
cattle, sheep and hogs. All these
bring into the limelight the adapta-
bility of the soil, the climate and
all other necessary conditions, to the
carrying on of dairy farming, in a
most profitable ^-ay.
There is no question that high
prices for ail that the farmer can grow
or raise will continue for some years,
and this is the great opportune time
to take advantage of what Western
Canada offers. Lands may be had as
a free grant. These are mostly lo-
cated some little distance from rail-
ways at the present time, but sooner
or later will be well served by rail-
ways that are projected into these
districts. Land may also be secured
by purchase at reasonable price, and
on easy terms from holders of same.
In many cases farms partly Improved
may be rented. A Winnipeg paper
said recently: “Canada wants Ameri-
can immigrants. They make good
Canadian citizens.” And then speak-
ing of the erroneous Impression that
has gained some publicity In a portion
of the United States press, says: ‘‘It
cannot be too forcibly impressed upon
the American mind that In coming
to Canada they place themselves un-
der the freest democracy the world
knows. No citizen of this country,
whether native or naturalized, can be
compelled to military service. The
only compulsion Is the compulsion of
conscience and patriotic duty. That is
the motive that has prompted thou-
sands of Canadians to offer their lives.
They are fighting as free men."—Ad-
vertisement.
She Made Up a Mixture of tape Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound-
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff. Itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Yeara
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make It at home, which Is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store for “Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy.” you
will get a large bottle of the famous
old recipe for about 50 cents.
Don't stay gray! Try It! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as It does It so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with It and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time, by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two. your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy.—

Beneficial Results Front Early Entry
of Spring Vogotablos Into the
Markets of the Country.
One of the marvels of modern life is
the early date when spring fruits and
vegetables appear in the markets
Some years ago they almost always
went north in a wilted condition. With
modern facilities these products of
southern latitudes appear in northern
towns In marvelously fresh condition.
For the great majority of people pre-
maturely early food products are an
impossible luxury. But the growing
wealth of the country is signified by
the number of people who today feel
that they can afford to buy these early
garden products. For people of means
it is a healthful way of spending
money, which otherwise might go into
highly seasoned cooking and stimu-
lants.
Also the cost of these early products
has not increased as much as one
would expect. They are raised In so
much larger quantities that competi-
tion keeps prices somewhere within
reason. Regular markets have been
established and transportation costs
are greatly reduced through volume
of traffic.—South Bend News-Times.
