Doubtless tho president BBf. will have his way, too, for New Jersey clearly in- BB' tends to return to the republican fold. BB When wnr with Spain wns declared a rcpub- BB lican congress that had tho money voted only BB fifty million dollars to President McKinley to irosecute It. Now a congress that has no money g proposing to spend ten times as much on n wnr V that exists neither in fac,t nor in prospect. And BAa plenty of people wiser thnn The Sun profess to B bco the logic of such doings. Wo do not. B It is, to Tho Sun's way of thinking, n peculiar BBB brnnd of American patriot who believes there is BBV a likelihood of some of the European powers BBB starting trouble with our own country ns soon ns BBB they aro dono fighting among themselves nnd BBV wants to "prepare" for it, at the samo timo prny- BBV ing for the wnr to end. Frankly, if The Sun be- BBB llcvcd the closo of the wnr there meant the stnrt- BBB ing of one hero wo should be praying for tho for- BBB eigners to keep on killing each other forever. But BBB fearing no such thing, wo hope for the speedy BBB dawn of the dny when the world will again be nt BBB pence. B About tho only nrgument In fnvor of free trade BBB or tariff for revenue only that ever influenced BBB nny intelligent mnn to vote for it was the claim BBB tnnt 't would enable consumers to buy things BBB cheap, That nrgument sounded good, for buyers BBB naturally wnnt to buy cheaply. But now that BBB no Intcst experiment hns shown that low tariff BBB '0Cfl n0 Iwer Prlccs nnd that tho only effects BBB nro t c'oso factories, demoralize business nnd BBB empty tho treasury, it is hard to see how intelll- BBf KCnt mon cnn 'onfrer lj0 fooled. The republican BBB party offers protection in place of this disastrous BBB nn GXPcrimcnt. It offers prosperity and BBB n "r cvcr' man wno wants it, nnd that with- BBB ol1' 10 n'1' n wnr m Europe. Furthermore, it BBl 'ins m tM0 1,nH 8nown nbllity to deliver the goods. BBB That's why the voters of the country hnvc let it BBB 1e 'nown tnat tny Intend putting the republican BBl party back into power just as soon ns it cnn be BBB B Our friends of the democratic press attempt to BBB excuse their party for bankrupting the govern- BBB ment treasury on tho ground that the war stop- BBB pcc importing and thus cut off treasury receipts. BBB That does sound reasonable and is nil right, with BBB b eUKht exception that it hnppens not to be BBB tru0, During tho first nine months of 1913, tho BB1 Payne-Aldricli "robber tai.i'f" law being still m Ei effect, tho total A-nluo of imports was $1,327,- BBf 385,071. Under the republican tariff law $237,- BBf 730,144 of tariff duty was collected. During tho H first nine months of 1015 goods to the value of BBB1 $1,302,004,768 wero imported, on which, under BBB! frc0 trado on,y 9147,224,999 of duty wns collect- BBS et1, In oiner words, while the nmount of impor- BBB tations under protection wns only $25,000,000 Ba more a republican tariff law sent $90,000,000 BBBsl moro nto t,ie eovernment'fl strong box, or nt tho rate of $120,000,000 n year, nnd that whilo injur-1 Ing no American or American industry. It is!4 easy to sen why the treasury Is broke nnd theL people paying direct taxes. THAT NEIGHBORLY FEELING OR SPIRIT OF THE SMALLER TOWN. Hnvc you ever paused to ponder oVcr thnt neighborly feeling that creates n "neighborhood" out of n collection of homes that have been -thrown together by chnnco? A stranger may , come to a section of town. Before his coming he , may have never known of the street on which ho decided to live. Thnt particular "end of ' town" may hnvc been n closed book to him. Bu ' once he is ensconced in his home, interest begins to sharpen rcgnrding his immediate environs. And, before one cnn say Jnck Robinson he is n , booster for his neighborhood. If n man paints his house In n distant pnrt of town from where you llvo it isn't n tenth ns in teresting to you ns if the mnn across the street ' or road paints his. And, if n mnn living several miles away from you buys n piano or n tnlking machine it isn't n tenth ns interesting to you ns if the family next door acquires one or the other. , This is the neighborly spirit. It isn't ncccssnrily signified by gossip. It merely is characterized by the intense interest surrounding things near home. That neighborly spirit Is something worth while. Living In nn apartment house in n big city without knowing the pnrty across the hall may suit some folks. But it doesn't smack much of the zest of life. CONGRESSMAN JAMES II. MAYS QUALIFY ING FOR DEMOCRATIC IME. Congressman Mays' decision to become n dem ocrat, and thus qualify for n place at the pic counter, should neither surprise nor nngcr the progressives who nominated nnd supported him. His attitude is logical and it is good politics for him. It is what his progressive friends might have expected. It Is what they were warned would occur, nsscrts Salt Lake's Herald-Republican. There is no future for him, Mnys doubtless recognizes, in the progressive pnrty, because third party movements In this land of the free nro hot notable for their longevity, nnd because there is a mere handful of thnt party's member ship in the house. There is no patronage for him ns n progressive because those who nrc not for the administration are against it. There is no thing in progrcssivism for him as a congressman from Utah except two years of official obscurity nnd then private life. Mnys wants his place in the sun, however brief. By gravitating where he belongs, and becom ing a democrat in full membership instead of merely nn assistant democrat, Mnys ncquircs much nutriment. Ho gets tho patronage which goes to a democratic congressman in a republican state when the administration is democratic. He gets the wherewithal to construct n personal mn chino to be used in seeking tho democratic nom ination next year, iqwn which ho evidently has designs nnd which is the only nomination ho ir likely to get. Mnys is learning rapidly. He will bo a regular statesman one of these dnys. Mcro words may not allay tho irritation nor tho disgust of tho progressives who conceded tho senatorial nomination Inst year to a democrat in order to get Mays on the ticket. Sympathy can bo extended them, but it is not unmixed with amusement They were warned their intlmnto relations with tho democratic party could be no moro thnn nature faking, for tho bull moose nnd the donkey cnn have no ties of blood. They were advised that they wero supporting candidates who would assume nn nttitude in di rect opposition to that of their leader, Colonel Roosevelt. But they would not listen. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE PRICKS THE SMALL FARM BUBBLE. In the last few years tho small farm movement hns been fairly epidemic. "A Living Off An Acre" or "A Few Acres nnd Liberty." These have been tho slogans of n multitude of books, pamphlets and magazine articles. Nor have con crete cxnmples been lacking to support the the orist. Tho bank clerk with a growing fnmily and tuberculosis hns put his hundred dollars into the first payment on a ten-acre farm, moved his household goods to the land, lived in the open air, spaded nnd hoed and cultivated and, nt the end of a few years, owned his property clenr of en cumbrance, put in n bathroom, bought an auto mobile and on top of it nil, regained his health. Then, too, we hnvo tho spectacle of the widow left penniless with n growing family, who, hoard ing nnd saving, has bought a little tract of land nnd nfter a fow years Is giving her boys n college education and tucking away her savings in a fat bank account. Docs this sort of talk allure tho city mnn? Rather, Particularly it appeals to the tired busi ness mnn, who sees in the ownership of a little farm freedom from petty harrassments nnd, more thnn that, an easy road to wealth. Tho cruel department of agriculture, which delights In cold, crushing figures, hns, however, just pricked the small farm bubble. Exhaustivo in vestigation hns led to the conclusion thnt "under conditions which prevail on tho average- Ameri can faun, tho opportunity for making n satis factory profit varies directly with tho number of acres farmed. Tho fewer the acres, the higher tho cost of cultivation nnd tho smaller the gross income. Very small fnrms, furthermore, nre dif ficult to make successful anywhere, nnd it is only tho exceptional man who is equal to the task. Nor is Intensive farming the profit making certnlnty it has been represented. Prices for the products of intensive farming nre found to fluc tuate greatly, making results very uncertain. The farmer distant from his mnrkets will often find thnt when prices nro low transportation charges wipo out his prospective profits. Even in the Immediate vicinity of good mnrkets, in tensive farmlnu is dependent on local advantages. I THE ELEVENTH HOUR I IS FAST APPROACHING.
