BBV wants to "prepare" for it, at the samo timo prny-

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
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.
