SiOUXClTY , IOWA FIGHTING THE WHITE PLAGUE Educational Posters by the Thousand to Be Displayed All 'Over B United States. if. During the next three months , the bill boards of the United States will display 20,000 educational posters on tuberculosis , according to an an nouncement made by the National As- -aociation for the Study and Preven tion of Tuberculosis. This will conclude the campaign be gun a year ago , when the National Bill Posters' associaation donated free space to the tuberculosis cause , the Poster Printers' association offered Iree printing , and nine paper manu facturers gave the paper for the post ers. The combined value of these sev eral donations for this three-month campaign Is nearly $100,000. The posters are in six different de signs and are all printed in three col- tirs. They are seven feet wide and nine feet high. Already nearly 2,500 of these posters have been hung on ihe bill boards of 4G different cities , and it is planned to distribute 20,000 more before April 1 in over 400 towns and cities. anti-tuberculosis Any - so ciety In the United States may re ceive free of charge , except for trans portation , as manyof these posters as an be hung on the boards in its ter ritory. The National association with the tuberculosis committee of the Na tional Billposters and Distributors are conducting the campaign. The posters show in graphic form low fresh air , good food , and rest cure tuberculosis ; how bad air , over- ! \vork and closed windows lead to con ! sumption ; and how the careless con sumptive menaces the health of his Tamily by spitting on the floor.

CAN DO NO REAL GOOD IDEA OF TARIFF COMMISSION A MERE SUBTERFUGE. Well Described by the New York Journal of Commerce as a "De lusion and a Snare" Sub ject Too Partisan. The New York Journal of Com- nerce , which has always doubted the ralue of the tariff commission's worth , thinks that it is better to keep the present tariff board than to adopt any of the changes which have been pro posed in congress. Of the Longworth bill for a bipartisan commission of five members , not more than three of whom shall be of the same party , it says : 'That kind of device Is a delusion and a snare , and unless we can have a tariff commission made up of eco nomic experts and free from partisan bias , we may as well leave the matter to the regular committees of congress. It will come to the same thing in the end. The majority of the committee .will control the investigations and the recommendations , and the minority twill be impotent. " Concerning tEe suggestion that the work be turned over to a tariff bu reau with a singje head in one of the administrative departments , prefera bly the treasury , the Journal says : "That would be no less one-sided. So long as the administration is de voted to a certain tariff policy its bu reaus would work for the support and not for the reform of that policy. There would he no independence in its inquiries and no value in its recom mendations. The bureaus oi the vari ous departments have all along been working in behalf of the established tariff. The consular service of the state department , the bureau of manu factures and the bureau of statistics In the department of commerce and labor are continually furnishing ma terial to support the policy of the ad ministration , which has heretofore been the policy of congress in the matter of tariff , as of everything else. Independent investigation and compe tent criticism are not to me expected of an official bureau. " In other words , in the official bu reaus , as In congress , party policy is regarded as of a good deal more impor tance than public policy. Like mas ter , like man , and the important thing In the eyes of bureau or other politi cal employes is , first , to hold their jobs , and , second , In order , to hold their jobs , to keep the party in its job. To attain this end it must be made to appear that whatever the party does Is right. Thus it can hardly be ex pected that a bipartisan commission , which can be controlled by a majority of partisans , or a partisan bureau , would be of much service in the in vestigation of a subject so intensely partisan as the tariff. Former Senator Smith of New Jer sey says he is for "a just tariff , " but of course that is a misprint. What he Is really for is just tariff. The Bath Trust Indictments. President Taft gives warning in his message of a vigorous enforcement of the Sherman act against all dangerous or harmful trusts. There is to be no "running amuck , " of course , but the question of desirable modifications of the act is not to be permitted to block the prosecution of wilful builders of oppressive monopolies. The Detroit indictments in the bath tub and sink trust furnish an illustra tion of the meaning of the trust para graphs of the message. Assuming that the department of justice has the facts "straight , " the defendants could not in any event expect the smallest benefit from amendments of the Sher- .man law. If they had no other pur pose than that of fleecing consumers , destroying competition , dictating to jobbers , raising prices regs.rdless of any economic considerations ; if there was no thought of saving and improv ing and sharing gains of combination with consumers , then the trust was of the sort that should be dissolved in the interest of honest and legitimate commerce. The criminal indictments are of the sort that bring home the truth that conscious violation of the law means personal guilt. Chicago Record-Herald. A Committee of Lawyers. It Is observed that every Demo cratic member suggested for the next ways and means committee of the house , except one , is a lawyer. The exception is M. R. Denver of Ohio , who is classed as a "farmer banker. " That there should be men of affairs on such a committee as well as lawyers would naturally be supposed. The make-up of this committee , how ever , Is typical of that of congress. Few occupations save that of the legal profession are represented in the house. This lopsidedness of representa tion is unfortunate. But until more business men are willing to take part 'n public life , it seems inevitable. Party's Faith Not Kept. The present tariff law was enacted in pursuance of a pledge to revise the tariff downward. The violation of the pledge was so flagrant that a number of Republican senators and repre sentatives voted against the bill on its final passage. Such is the record , and such are the results of tariff revision by the friends of the tariff. In not one of these cases was faith kept with the people. In not one was there fair , reasonable and downward revision of the tariff. SHALL MEATS BE UNTAXEDi Dominant Party Has It In Its Power tc at Once Secure Relief From Extortion. If there had heen ten lines in tht president's message on the high cos * of living , with a recommendation it simple justice that meats be placed or the free list , does anybody suppose that the beef trust would have ad vanced prices ? A cornered market responds spends quickly to every Impulse and tendency. The protest at the polls in November was understood. So also was the silence at the White House in December. Both found a response in the monopoly's price list. A like degree of intelligence on the part of the people's representatives at Washington would develop a policy as to this particular trust which could be carried out in 60 days. Strangely enough in the legislative department the Insurgent Republicans appear to-have agreed to attack only the wool schedule of the tariff. Of this Senator Aldrich said on May 4 , 1909 : "It Is the very citadel of the pro tective system. To reduce that is to destroy the whole system. " In a way every important tariff schedule is a citadel of monopoly and bargaining , but meats are as yet only an outpost and tiose who would serve the people in their need will not ex haust their energies upon a strong hold when the weaker defenses of an iniquity quite as objectionable invite assault. The tariff citadel may be im pregnable. The camp of the be leaguered meat trust should be rushed in a hurry. The Meat Trust and the Tariff. The total business of the six great meat-packing companies amounts to $945,000,000 a year. The profits , ex clusive of those of the National Pack ing company , are set at $23,379,644. Estimating the profits of the National Packing company as * equal to those of Sulzberger & Sons , the total would be raised to about $25,000,000. Some of the detailed figures are as impressive as the totals. When a con cern like Swift & Co. , can progress from a $10,000,000 capital to upward of $80,000,000 in about sixteen years ; when Armour & Co. , after paying big dividends , can pile up a surplus of $73,000,000 ; when other companies in the combine make almost as notable showings , it is clear the profits are enormous. With such figures before them , how can even the standpatters of congress pretend that protection is needed for the meat trust ? The tariff confers monopoly of the home market and the monopoly is used to exact from the people excessive prices for ons of the most important necessaries of life. Those are the plain facts of the matter. There is no need for an elab orate investigation by a tariff commis sion with a year of delay. There is time enough for this congress to re peal the tax on meat and give the people ple immediate relief. New York World. The Sin.of Lafe Young. In vain does the Hon. Lafayette Young of Iowa assume an air of bon homie and simplicity and-refer to the senators as "boys. " His speech be- trayeth him : "I am not so much concerned about inequalities as I am concerned about business. " Concerned about business ; what un seemly , what almost blasphemous lan guage for a senator to hold ! Is it not the duty of the congress to legislate , and of every public man who knows when he is well off to bloviate , against business ? As for the tariff , the Hon. .Lafe Young dares to forget that America's sweetest eirenist , noblest practical ethicist and rarest occasional thinker has found the tariff "a moral Issue" and will stick to that moral issue like a wart to a wart-hog , at least until some more moral issue diverts his at tention. Business is immoral. If the Hon. Lafe Young has any friends they should bring him up to date or send him back to Des Moines. New York Sun. Public Money Wasted. In Kansas , according to Auditoi James M. Nation , "thousands of dollars lars are wasted every year in printing reports and documents that have no value , and in duplicating reports of state officers. " Nobody has ever had the courage to calculate how much money Is misspent and thrown away In the government printing office at Washington. Idea a Mere Makeshift. The Democratic principle of a rev enue tariff needs no commission at all to apply it , and the task of framing the schedules would be comparatively simple. If the theory of protection is once admitted to be right , much may be said In favor of a commission. Butte to those who deny this proposition the commission can appear only as a makeshift. Worse , and More of It. Well , well , if Judge Anderson de served the opprobrious epithets he was favored with from the greatest man that ever was , what will be fitting phrases for this same man to apply to the members of the Supreme court of the United States , all of whom have united in rejecting the fantastic inter pretation of the law evolved by the mighty Bonaparte of Baltimore to get an alleged libel , published in New York , under the jurisdiction of the fed eral courts ?

Girls may now honorably maintain themselves and find scope for their tal ents in professions and trades which were once considered only suitable for men. She may leave home at quite an early age if the pursuit she has cho sen would make the restrictions t > f home irksome to her. She may travel without an escort and go into society without a chaperon , and then , as to recreations , she may smoke and play golf and cricket and hockey , or , if fond of a gun , she may shoulder one and join the shooting parties from country houses in the autumn. But what of her home ? Where is the effort to make the lives of her elders brighter and happier ? Where the wit and lively merriment of the ; home dinner table ? Where the gentle deference to the opinions or the wishes of her parents ? London Times.
