The Free Trade Remedy. And now comes notice that an at- tempt is to be made to solve the prob- lem of high-priced meats by present- ing a bill in congress to suspend the tariff on. meats for one year and place meat imports on the free list. This is the free trade remedy confined to one partioulat article instead of ap- plied to all imports competing with home productions, as the consistent free trader would advocate. The tariff just enacted last year put hidés on the frée list, but its effect in reducing the price of leather and leather goods to the ultimate con- sumer has not been appreciable to the naked eye. If putting meats on the free lst should have no more effect on the market than has pufting hides on the free list it would certainly fail of the desired object, although perhaps it might not be doing much harm. If, however, free trade in meats should || really bring in a large. supply from abroad the effect at home would be serious, if not disastrous, upon the farmers and live stock men who raise the meat animals. The meat packers are not particular as to their source of raw material sup- ply, They would just as soon slaugh- ter cattle from Mexico or Canada, or distribute dressed meats from South America or Australla, providing they have their margin of profit, as they would handle home-grown llve stock 8inc¢e the big packers, like the ulti- mate consumer, are looking to buy on the cheapest market and sell on the dearest, the American farmer and the American stock -raiser would be the oneg who ‘would be squeezed the most. It meats alone of all the necessaries of life were high and dfsproportionat in price, and if these high prices pre- vailed only in this country, the free|' trade remedy might appeal with some more force, but when the complaint is no more with meat prices than with the prices of many other articles on which letting down the tariff bars af- ford no relief, and no more here than in foreign countries, it is plain that the frée trade remedy does not touch bottom. .. ; — Census officials in several of the larger cities are having trouble find- ing competent people’' proficient in foreign languages to take the enumer- ator’s districts in ‘whiéh the foreign born populction 1s located. If it were only one or two languages that would be needed, the demand might be filled, but when census eénumerators with polyglot linguistic accomplishments are called for the lVl"lble\fl’flnply is quickly exhausted. — Our old friend, Edgar Howard, is trying to make- his Columbus Tele- gram rival Noah Webster’s definition factory. Here {is Hdgar Howard's dictum: A leader of stand-pat republicans is a republican in office. A leader of Insurgent republicans is a republican who wants office. That lets us out, as we can prove an alibi on both counts. How about you, Edgar? An. Ohio Jawmaker . is advoeating the substitution of oleomargerine for butter in the various state institutions’ with the declaration that the change would result in an annual saving to the taxpayers of at least §50,000.

Army Gossip Matters of Interest On and Back of the Firing Line Gleaned from the Army and Navy Register. Brigadier General James Allen, Unived States army, has been re-elected for an- other tour of duty as chief signal officer of the army. The reappointment of Gen- eral Allen was to be expected under the clrcumstances. He has made an excellent head of the signal corps and has promoted in & material degreo the efficlency of that ustul branch of the miltary establishment. The announcement in a newspaper dls- patch from Denver of the circulation of & petition to be ment to congress with sig- natures of army officers protesting against the enactment of the so-called army elim- ination bill creates ng surprise in the War department, where It has been known that objections to the measure were finding ex- pression in varlous quarters. It Is a mis- take to assume that such a petition is “in violation of the executive order," as s stated In the Denver dispatch. The prder JFrohibiting activity on the part of army offigers In matters under legislative con- sideration did not, even with its amplifi- cation by the secretary of war, relate in the remotest degree to army officers who were not on duty In Washington. There Is nothing In the executive order which prevents any army officer who does not happen to be in Washington from writing in protest agalnst, or In behalf of, proposed legisaltion. Such ap- peals are bound to have thelr influence, although there is nothing in the situation at the capltol at this time which makes it appear that the elimination plan would have congressional approval, with or with- out these interferences. There is genuine satisfaotion in the army with the appointments made to the grade of brigadier general. Colonel F. K. Ward, Seventh cavalry, succeeds Brigadjer Gen- eral H. M. Chittenden, Colonel Ralph W. Hoyt, Twenty-fitth infantry, will be ap- pointed a brigadier general on March 18, next, when Brigadier General Charles Morton, now In commanfi of the Depart- ment of the Missourl, will retire for age. Colonel Montgomery M. Macomb, 6th fleld artillery, will succeed to the vacan- cy caused by the retirement, on November 14 next, of Brigadier General Albert L. Myer, who I8 now in command of the de- partment of Tex: The officers selected are In every way qualified for the ad- vancement, It was a surprise that the president filled a vacancy so far abead as that of next November, leaving only one more vacancy In the grade this year, that of Brigadier General Howe, who retires on December 31, Of the new brigadiers, General Ward retires March 19, 1911;" Col- onel Hoyt on October 9, 1913, and Colonel Magomb on October 19, 1916. = These ap- polntments give the cavalry = four bri- gadlers, the Infantray seven, the fleld artillery two, and the coast artillery one, one brigadier being charged to the subsist- ence department and another to elvil life. The conditions attending ‘“‘absenteeism’ ameng commissioned officers of the army on -aocount of detached duty have bscome rore serious than ever before. The secre- tary of war has called for reports in detall of the extent to which officers are em- ployed on duty which requires them to be separated from. thelr . regular cofnmands, Same - time ago- the military authorities had under. cohs\deration the relief of all officers who are doing duty at military college. This would serve to return to their commands about 100 officers, but It was realized that this would lead.to much protest and many-appeals. -There was’also' the appreciation n~the War department that if any such steps were taken, it would invite the: susplelon that the department was trylng to force congres to puss the oxtra officer bill. The situation must be met upon its own merits, however, regard- less of the erities, and it may turn out that,. unless congress takes some actlon in behalf of legislation for additional army of- ficers, #t will be necessary not only to re- lleve the officers on duty with colleges, but to relleve a greéat many other officers who are on detached duty. General Bell, chlef of staff of the army has made a report on the subject, 4nd the secretary of war has the matter under considera- tion.. In the recent hearing before the house ! military committee on the extra- officer bill General Bell brought this sub- Ject up and said: “I merely mention this matter to the committees now lest It might conclude, If this should happen at the end of the school year, that it might' be dohe with a motive which would in- spire’ no one. No one is foolish enough to put that kind of pressure on congress, but it might become absolutely essential to do something to meet the condition which has come about. That condition has resulted in one battalion attending maneuvers last summer under a sergeant, who commanded it very well. Sergeants commanded the companies and did it well also, but It is not a good condition to have come about through an actual short- age of officers.” — BUILDING TRADE ACTIVITIES Flourishing Condi: ms in the East, i West and South. Cineinnati Enquirer. Hast, west and south all report the most flourishing conditions in the bullding trades. | Immense demand has st In for bullding material of every class and character, and the call for workingmen upon construction work was never so great as it is at the present time In the preparation that fs being made for the opening of the opera- tlons of the spring, There never were 5o many men emplc during the winter months upon construc- tion as there are this January.
