Would not be a good thing to have re- pved from our streets the blackened d ugly remains of multitudinous o storms, the germ-laden coating it covers the thoroughfares through hich people must pass to and from bir places of work, the insanitary bstances that must be materially olonging the grippe epldemic? lould it not be a good thing to do this, especially when the weather so propitious? ‘Without any dan- r of courting a thin coating of ice the streets the fire department juld even take out its hose lines d wash the stuff some night #n the town has gone to bed and ere would be no danger of disturb- anybody or anything. We simply ler this little suggestion as worthy obably of being set down in the ite book of the man who has charge taking care of the city streets. Or, that is not the proper place for ch offerings, we humbly refer it to e board of health or some other prthy body that has the welfare of e city’s population at heart. Clean p! a away PH, FOR A GOLDEN MEDIUM. Elven a nonpartisan tariff commis- bn would have a huge job on its nds attempting to reconcile the osperity of the steel trust, during wind-up in 1915, with the policy “wreck and ruin” attributed to a n-protective tariff. During the last @rter of the vear just gone inta the seard, the steel trust enjoyed one its biggest and busiest business as, and there was no high protec- e tariff. Advocates of the high d the low tariff will now have uch chance to get out all the old guments and sally forth on some al debates. It begins to look, 'wever, if the bugaboo of jmerican politics is destined eventu- 1y be cast on the serap heap. rom all sides can be heard the call a nonpartisan commission to with this enigmatical problem. Perkins has been hollering a nonpartisan and now comes Presi- as to )T leal feorge W. il along for mmission, lent Wilson ready to take the wind ut of the steel magnate’'s sails and eer for the same landing. It would em that a just proportion of both igh and low tariff would be about he proper medicine, with not too fuch of the one nor the other; a dgfe and sane adjustment to meet he needs of the various economic onditions that may arise. It will be ifficult to satisfy everybody; but the proach can be very ¢piently if men enter upon the prob- ym with broad and open minds,— pmething that will never happen so @ as they are drawn up before h other in battle and Bibeled the “high” and the “low.” | If President Wilson succeeds in the ik of taking the ominous tariff’ out politics by the expedient method pf getting Consress to create a non- partisan tariff commission he will pave accomplished one of the great- but strokes of his administration. It il be a triumph of statesmanship fhat will linger in the memory of the Ipeople for ages to come. The eyes of he nation have been opened. Every- one capable of now knows hat our tariff making' has been the catspaw of cunning poli- Mcians for generations and that for the men who help in complete tariff made con- array thinking system the most part m:0ld its revision ignorance . of economic require- ments.

The tariff sooner or later must be taken out of American politics. last i the | | only of THE PAY OF ACCOUNTING. What pow Is,going to happen Lo those who have, @il along harped on President Wilson's ome phrase, ““too | proud to fight,” after it s learned | that he was in a fighting mood throughout his addresses in New York last night when he fired tne | opening gun in his campaign for strengthening the national defense? What answer will be made to his de- claration that he always accepts an invitation to flght? What must be done after his assertion that although he is an advocate of peace and has always striven to keep the United States at peace, he considers the lib- | erty and honor of the nation more | important than peace? It begins to look as if the President of the Unit- ed States has lost some of his pride, | or that no man should be plnned! down to one little phrase of four words lifted bodily from a ten thou- sand word speech and have that branded as “his policy.” There is such a thing as being too proud to fight, but there is also such a thing | as fighting for very pride. There will be many reverberations of the first shot fired by the Presi dent last night in his talk before the Raflroad Business Association in New York. It was a mighty charge and carried with it enough force to make itself heard not only In every part of | this country, but in every diplomatic nook and cranie abroad. With such a brilllant start the President should find no trouble convincing the American people, and through them the powers of the world, that the land of the free and the home of the brave is not on the verge of go- ing into a long, long sleep; but that it is awakening for a vigil that will keep watch scrupulously every interest. Hvery chancellory in Europe must know this so that when the end of the great struggle now going on there is over no eyes will he turned maliciously in this direction. To this end the President would have us protect our rights as a nation and the rights of our citizens in America and outside it and also the peace and political autonomy of the Americas, which In another way around means the upholding of the Monrbe Doc- trine. Striking the one thought which all the peace-at-any-price men and pa- cifists in general seem to have over- looked, the President emphatically | shows that making preparation safeguard the life of the nation does | not necessarily conflne Iitself to policy of war and does not in any degree a desire to bring war about.. He assures his people that “America will not turn in the direc- tion of militarism” merely because it would have an army and a navy c able of taking care of the of its citizens and defending tlon from any | | in over its 10 a involve e interests the foe that might creep ne upon it in the darkness of the night and when least expected. To do all| this it is absolutely necessary that | we have the proper power and we | cannot have this by casting aside our courage or starving to death our dogs of war. We need an adequate national defense to do all these things and now is the time to whip it into shape. As the Presldent has appro- priately pointed of accounting and the country expects | action. out, this is’ the year And the accounting must be | definite on the part of parties and all those who would enjoy the public If not, hope that man in public life will get what's coming to him.” The will of the people must be obeyed, and they want protection.
