OWOSSO. SPT. 21, 1917. "Hands Off." "The President would rather lose the war than recommend or consent to a restoration of Protective Tariff This was the recent remark of a promt sent member of the Congress of the United States. Over and over again the long-headed, prudent Protectionists of the Senate and Bouse have pleaded in committees for such an Increase In the Tariff as wonld double or treble this present meagre income of $240,000,000 a year from.

duties on $3,000,000,000 of Impcrts- Many Democrats have dc clared that they would like to see this brought about. But they dare not run counter to the decree of the White House that the Tariff shall on no ac count be increased. "Hands off!" is the order. Apparently nothing now can change that ultimatum. It can, however, be changed by the election of a Protectionist Senate and House in 1913, and by the incoming of a Proteo- ai i a.

In a New York street, a few days ago, the writer hereof noticed and admired an exceptionally handsome new automobile and recognized It as a car which brings the highest price of all cars. It was a car "made in Eng land." The natural assumption was that it was the, property of some wealthly citizen who could afford, to own so costly a Not so. Closer, examination revealed in large, bold letters, this mark: "DEPART MENT OF JUSTICE," Not the British Dcpaitment of Justice.

Oh, no; the Department of Justice at Washington, D. the United State of America. Just why our government should have pent, so much money for a foreign-made, auto, it was hard to explain. Were none of the splendid products of American auto car manufactories good enough for the American Department of JdsticeT It seems not. Did our Free-Trade President know of the pur- 1 'chase and authorize it? At a time like this, when American auto makers are being heavily taxed for war1 revenue, would seem that the least Our government could in fairness do, would be to patronize the domestic auto trade.

American Economist. v4. NEW DEFENSE CHAIRMAN 'SEES PERIL IN DELAY. Richard M. Hurd Warns United States of German War Plant Nation Wide Campaign.

The greatest part of the American people are asleep. 'Though standing on the brink of an abyss, though facing tbe most frightful situation in tbe nation's history, they do not act, or will not comprehend their danger," is the way in which the present war situation is described Richard M. Hurd, tbe newlv elected Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the American Defense 1 Society, whose special ta3k will be. to conduct a nation-wide campaign to waken 'the people of the United States to the gangers which confront them in the Titanic European struggle. Continuing Mr.

Hurd says: "We have done a few things since tbe United States declared war on Germany, but only a comparatively few compared with what should have been accomplished. Every day that the people of this conun try maintain their present attitude they are signing the death warrants of thousands of young Americans who have enlisted, or will be drafted to follow the Stars and Stripes over the battle-fields of Europe." "It is perfectly obvious that the people of the United States do not comprehend the seriousness of tbe existing tltuatlon that they are fighting: against the most treacherous, vindictive and powerful military nation the world baa ever, known; that it Is Inp-ssible to arrange peace with a people whose performances wonld put to shame man-eating tiger, nntil they fi are crushed; that this war will be a Jong one. and that it will be fought to the Utter end." SUGGESTIONS BY DEFENSE SOCIETY. "Tbe American Defense Society does "ot believe in destructive crlMUm but constructive suggestions, aud it will wage an intellectual, propaganda through the newspapers and pamphlets with tbe hope of acquainting the Amer ican people with the dangers which lie before them, and will further help any schemes to overcome them. We must not wait to be severely punished before we have our great army on the firing lines.

We must move and keep ever moving until the Germahio beast is crushed. As in England we must begin to train our women for real war work, so that in the near future at least one-half of the work of making munitions shall be done by. them. And other womeu must learn to 'do other useful things, as are their sisters in Europe, where even those of title have not hesitated to act as servants in the hospitals. "The Kaiser and his followers have been ridiculing this country ever since we entered the war.

He has stated that we are a commercial nation and never can be a fighting race. Let us answer that with an army of 10.000.000 men. He and his chiefs have said that our aviators would never ba of any particular use, because our men lacked the bravery for the work. I know soinetning of the calibre of the men going into that work and he will receive bis answer from them. PRO-GERMAN SUPPRESION.

"The President has, by proclamation, forbidden Americans to insure marine or war risks with German companies, but this measure only goes half way. The order should be amended so as to prevent Americans from dealing with all German Insurance companies or reinsurance companies, or American companies owned by Germans or their sympathizers. "The Germans here have found many ways of dodging the order, and it is almost as much of a farce as the one establishing zones in which German traitors were supposed not to enter. We strike to do something but seldom go" far enough, and tbe entire scheme Instead of accomplishing a great purpose, simply make us a laughing stock and further belittles pur efforts. As an instance, what did an order to close tbe saloons along a New Jersey water front amount to? Tbe saloon keepers laughed at the authority and were backed up by local city officials.

"The entire country is honey combed with German traitors, German-Americans who are secretly against the government if they do not express them selves openly. At first England was kind to her German population and of course was repaid with treachery. It will be the same here. Why not intern all of the Germans and their svmpath'z ers who are known to be dangerous or under suspicion as England was compelled to do. All patriotic Americans interested in carrying out the work outlined by Chairman Richard M.

Hurd are requested to send their name to the Nat-tional Headquarters of the American Defense Society at 303 Fifth Avenue, New York. Edward W. Nelson, chief of the U. S. Biological Survey, contributes a remarkable article in tbe last issue of the National Geographic Magazine on "The Rat Pest." He estimates that the annual loss sustained in the country through the destructive characteristics of rats amounts to $200,000,000.

Denmark estimates her loss at Great Britain and Ireland, France $40,000,000. The writer states that rats have from three to twelve litters per year, each containing from six to more than twenty young, the average being about ten. The young begin to breed less than three months of age. The methods suggested to abate or abolish the pest is the makiug of all bouses, stores aud factories rat proof and the destruction of tho rodents by both poison and trapping.
