This is to the disadvantage of American exporters of these products in compari- son with competitors whose goods originate any- where within the British Empire. Moreover there is restriction against export of many products from a momber of districts in Africa to ports other than of Great Britain. ag than two years ago Mr. Bonar Law out- lined the future policy of Great Britain to be that “preferences would be put into effect at the earliest possible moment,” and that “‘any measure increas- ing the productive power and man power of the dominions is a good thing for Britain as well as the empire.” It was while the league of nations was under discussion that this feature received more than passing attention and the inquiry was made as to whether America cared to join a league in which Great Britain, with five or six voting dominions was to give preferential treatment to those domin- ions while other countries of the league would not be permitted to give similar treatment to any other member. Britain is carrying out to the letter the policy defined by Mr. Bonar Law. There is ample testimony to the effect that American cotton seed oil has Jong been discrim- inated against by at least five European countries; and certain administrative regulations adopted by South American countries are detrimental to American canned goods. Experience has been that equality of treatment eamnot be secured by the United States without provisions in our tariff laws that will discourage these petty discriminations practiced by other countries against our products. The maximum and minimum clause of the tariff act of 1909 obviated these very things we now are facing. That clause met the situation by im- posing on the goods of those foreign countries which discriminated against American exports, a supplementary duty of 25 per cent, additional to the regular rates, on those goods when imported mto this country. If we had a tariff law in effect today contain- ing such a clause, it would take care of the British preferential policy quite handily, for it provided that the minimum, or regular, tariff might extend to the whole of any foreign country which did not discriminate against us or “may be confined to or exclude from its effects any dependency, ‘colony or other political subdivision having authority to adopt and enforce tariff legislation. This would mean Canada, Australia, India and South Africa, which have authority to enact tariff legislation, and the iast two, apparently, impose export duties. This clause was a wise provision in the last Re- publican tari act. It worked with an impressive thoroughness. it would work in the present in- stance had it been allowed to remain in force by the Democratic congress. When the Republican congress enacts a thor- ough-gomg tariff measure the maximum and mini- mam clause should by all means have a_-place. a The east is enjoying quite a spell of winter weather. A delayed consignment apparently some sixty days overdue. Set SAIN SLL A CORRECT VIEW The Sundance Times shares the view of all patriotic Americans, that the best insurance against future wars, is a staunch and adequate navy, in the hands of America. A navy not for purposes of conquest or for the sake merely of having the fhe tress of the seas; but for the purpose of affording protection, if necessary, to all nations by the mere greatest number of ships and therefore the mis- sea power over which floats the American flag. says: “The senate naval committee has concluded from the testimony of naval experts that it would be unwise and ‘inadvisable to stop work for six | ‘months on capital ships while experts study the) best types based on the lessons of the war. Very few Americans can be made to believe that peace can come from peaceful talk, and there could be no better ‘time to make cannon talk than now. |Disarmament talk may be all right in a Sunday} school convention, but rather out of place on boatd | the Lusitania. If some nation has to rule the world, there'is no nation better qualified, with more |humane discretion, than the American nation.” OE ee 3 BLAMES PROHIBITION Former Governor John J. Cornwell of West Vir- ginia, speaking to the men’s service chapter of Trinity Episcopal church in the city of Huntington, expressed it as his belief that the prevalence of crime in the United States is due primarily to national prohibition and attempts to enforce the Volstead act. A “Much of our crime is due to violations of these laws. The number of violations is astonishing and the number of arrests as well as the number of |agrant cases in which there are no arrests is jastounding. : “Men have not accustomed themselves to these new laws. When the quart a month law was ef- jfective, I pardoned men by the hundreds. There were several reasons for this, chief of which was the jail census whick: showed that there were 1,800 men in the jails of the state. Some bitsiness in- |stitutions were unable to operate on account of the number of their employes in jail. This ¢on- \dition had to be relieved. “It is not possible to eliminate or to reduce crime by the pyramiding of penalties. The only way is |through education and Christianization.” | The governor could have gone a step farther, with perfect propriety, and stated that before re- moving from the people of his state an institution |to which they had been accustomed all of their \lives—a condition of extreme wet to extreme dry |—this matter of education and Christianization {should have been under way for a long time in jadyance of the change. There being in Gover- |nor Cornwell's state a large coal-mining population |possibly the conditions he speaks of were empha- |sized to greater extent than in many other locali- \ties: Yet the whole country now sees the omission} and the need for something else to take the place lof liquor and the saloon in advance of abolishing them in certain classes of population. GASES EI, eae Se { SMALL CALIBRE STATESMEN | The editor of the Wheatland Times does no! en- tertain a very high opinion of the average mem-| ber sent to the legislature to represent Wyoming! constitutencies and make laws for the people. The editor desires to see a higher type of men chosen and while it is a sad admission he is right. In a | jover the particular spot. where the recent issue of his paper he says: too many members of both houses who, instead of considéring measures upon their merits, simply asked, ‘Who introduced the bill?” duced by a friend, ‘Pass it.’ If by an opponent, ‘Kill it.’ Men who base their actions upon such makers of law for intelligent people. Even though a bill may have been introduced by ‘the most unpopular member’ of the house,” a man with faults or merits of the bill with reference to its benefits to the state at large, and vote upon the merits of the measure, rather than according to his personal feelings toward the person by whom it may have been proposed. _ As long as such prac- \tices prevail, however, people who desire any spe- cial beneficial legislation, will have to elect as rep- 'resentatives men.who can be ‘good fellows’ and who may be able to refrain from antagonizing those whose support they wish to gain and hold for meritorious legislation.” . PY CELS IARI SS Eee ee Gen. Jan Smutts, premier of the South African colony, said to be the author of the league of nations presented to the peace conference at Ver- treaty, has written a newspapers statement ex- tolling Mr. Wilson and explaining what a misun- derstood man he is. It comes a little late. “The conduct of a number of the members of the late state legislature makes it apparent that the’ people must exercise better judgment in the eli-c-| |tion of men who are to make our laws.

However, the bulk of the article was given over to the relating the history of a certain schcol back in the middle west in the days where there were forty- boss who wore gray jeans, ry one of whom had heavy patches teacher operated on them with a stiff apple tree sprout, and referred to these trimmings as occurring some three times a day and how the boys were not enjoying good health unless they got the above mentioned num- ber. Now forty-seven boys thrashed three times each day would only. re- quire one hundred and forty-one op- erations on the part of the teacher each day, not counting the attention given to the feminine population of the school. Counting two minutes only for each thcashing it would re- quire four and one-half hours for thrashing alone, »<t much. time ,left for other lines of instruction. His strong point was that out of these forty-seven boys, three of them be- came presidents of the United States, twenty-eight became members of con- gress and the remainder were min- isters of the Gospel. We will have to admit that was some record, of course, and doubtless it was all due to the thrashing received. Through the entire course of his learned discourse on the sybject he does not once mention a teacher ever having struck a pupil on the side of the head with the open hand. His point was well taken, but he evaded the main issue. No doubt the parent of Sheridan would not have “objected had his boy been chastised on. the sppt which may have been partly in- tended for that purpose. The mere fact that the teacher in) mention “boxed the boy's ears” instead of using an apple sprout, should arouse the indignation of any parent or group} 4. of parents- who have an ounce of brains. ‘There have been many men and women gone through life deaf in one ear because of having been “hox- ed on the ears” when children, among these, Thos. A, Edison ig one. A teacher “boxed his ears” -when in school. “He has always carried the curse of that teacher’s ignorance, Not alone is this restricted to teachers, for shame to say, parents are guilty of such crimes very often. In the opinion of the writer if there was a law which would give any one found guilty of such a.crime, not less than nihety days nor more than one year in prison for such a crime, a step forward will have been made. I would like to e the hand of the father who has serve enotgh to cause the arrest of a teacher who hag. so little sense as to “box a boy's ears.” | Had he used the hickory or apple | sprout, doubtless no objection woule have been made, SUBSCRIBER, Question Box”.
