A GRAND STAND PLAY Representative Page of the Seventh North Carolina District has notified his democratic constituents that he will not be a candidate for renomination. He gives as a reason that he is at odds with Persident Wilson on questions of foreign policy and that he does not think he should continue in congress under those circumstances. Mr. Page has had many bouquets thrown at him for his courageous stand for principle, and he has been highly complimented for his action when he has no opposition for renomination. There are those, however, who will look further for an explanation of Mr. Page's remarkable feat of self abnegation—and they will find food for reflection in the 1914 election returns from Mr. Page's district. In that year Mr. Page received 14,789 votes, while his republican opponent received 12,863. This year the republicans of North Carolina are united and aggressive. There is a great and growing sentiment in North Carolina for protection and other republican doctrines—and it is altogether likely that Mr. Page's grand stand play has been arranged with all these facts in view. HEDGING ON DYESTUFFS TARIFF Although American dependence upon Germany for dyestuffs has been demonstrated, and the urgent need for permanent establishment of a dye industry in this country is universally recognized the democrats in congress the cotton consumed in this country in making cloths, passes through the dyers' hands before it reaches the consumer. If steps are not immediately taken to encourage the making of dyes in this country, by means of a protective tariff, the price of cotton will fall as a consequence. It costs to color wool five times the cost of coloring cotton. Nearly all the wool used by us is colored. Silk, leather, paper, and fur require dyes in their manufacture, and the representatives of these great industries, utilizing the labor of hundreds of thousands of men and women, all declare that the supplies of German dyestuffs are nearly used up. Without the dyes the industries must suffer, and so must the laborers. Another interesting phase of the dyestuff situation was brought out in the recent hearings before the Ways and Means committee of congress: Dr. Bernard Hesse, chairman of the chemical and dyestuffs committee of New York, stated: "If we did have a complete self-contained coal tar dye industry in this country we would have an equipment which could, with comparatively little delay, be converted into a device to manufacture explosives, and we would have the nucleus of a trained body of men—workmen, if you please—foremen and superintendents, who could, with very little added time, learn how to make these explosives properly, and they then begin to act as a nucleus for an accretion or growth of the men necessary to do the work." Any reasonable man would think that the democrats would seize on this as an excuse for establishing protective rates of duty on dyestuffs made in America. It is a matter of preparedness, also. But they continue to back and fill and sidestep the issue, and meanwhile, the loss to users of dyes continues to be $1,000,000 daily, to accept the figures of a democratic office-holder. Advocates of America First should progressives are the public primaries, a republican nominating election as de can conventions on publicican committees tioning their rights.

American manufacturers wishing to make dyestuffs will not undertake that industry without assurance of protection from the syndicated foreign competition after the war. Representative E. J. Hill, republican member of the ways and means committee, has introduced a bill carrying rates of duty on dyestuffs which meet the approval of the American Chemical society of the United States, made up of democrats and republicans alike. Indications are that the democrats in congress will not stand behind the bill. Congressman Hill declares: "If every penny of the specific duty which it is now proposed to add to the revenue rates of the present law should be added to the price to the consumer, it would take one hundred years of that burden to equal the losses which the existing famine has brought upon the country in the last 12 months." The chief of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce in a public address to the Chemical Club of New York, four months ago, declared that the "total loss, direct and indirect, now being borne by American users of dyestuffs and dyed wares amounts to not less than $1,000,000 a day." The scarcity of dyes affects the whole country. Seventy per cent of any reasonable man would think that the democrats would seize on this as an excuse for establishing protective rates of duty on dyestuffs made in America. It is a matter of preparedness, also. But they continue to back and fill and sidestep the issue, and meanwhile, the loss to users of dyes continues to be $1,000,000 daily, to accept the figures of a democratic officeholder. Advocates of America First should get after their democratic representatives in congress and urge them to vote for a protective tariff on dyestuffs. REPUBLICANS ALL The primaries in Indiana have afforded a practical demonstration of republican reunion upon a basis of complete sympathy. The unusually large vote was produced by the general participation of former progressives—and it is significant that despite the provision of the law for challenging voters absolutely no effort was made to prevent the full and free cooperation of the foes of four years ago in making up the party ticket for this year. The old-line republicans of Indiana marched to the polls with their one-time antagonists in the complete assurance that there are no differences in the essential republicanism of the two groups who now make up a reunited party which is soon to secure an old fashioned victory. We do not believe, however, that these conditions are peculiar to Indiana. In every state where republican majorities once prevailed and where a divided republican vote was cast in 1912, there are indications of the same liberal spirit that animates the republicans of Hoosierdom. Former Dr. Helffinch, Reichstag, said that expenditures in I 000,000, but that in the months of These three greets are thus spending per year for war already expended lion dollars.

Nobody is questioning their right to do these things. No one is trying to exact an apology from them for anything that has occurred. They are now in the republican party as of right, intending to deal fairly and asking only to be dealt with fairly. They have come back neither boastingly nor in shame, but like the free men that they are, to the party of liberty, where the will of the majority shall be definitely ascertained and unhesitatingly adopted. Indiana, as the first of the primary states of 1916, has shown to the country what the republicanism of 1916 is. It is a body of citizens and of sentiment wherein the best and the highest that may be had for this land of ours is most worthily expressed. We are Americans first and we are republicans, all. COST OF THE WAR Finance Minister Ribot, speaking of the cost of the great war to France in the Chamber of Deputies, said that nation had expended 22,000,000-000 francs in 1915, and that the daily cost is now 90,000,000 francs. This cost is thus in our money $18,000,000 daily, and the total cost for last year was $4,400,000,000. The finance minister also said in his speech that England was spending $22,000,000 a day, adding that the amount expended by each nation would probably increase during the present year. Dr. Helffinch, speaking in the Reichstag, said that Germany's war expenditures in December was $500,000,000, but that it was slightly lower in the months of the present year. These three great European powers are thus spending 17 billion dollars per year for war purposes, and have already expended more than 30 billion dollars.

SUPERVISORS MAY BUILD TWO BRIDGES Contention Over Removal of Yorba Bridge May Result in Getting Two Members of the board of supervisors at the Yorba bridge hearing indicated that in order to meet the demands of both the Orange and Anaheim delegations the county may build two bridges, thus giving both sides in the present bridge contention a victory. The matter will be finally decided on April 5th, and in the meantime the supervisors will take a trip over the district in order to secure some first hand knowledge as to conditions. Orange sent a delegation of close to a hundred boosters to Santa Ana to attend the hearing, while the Anaheim bridge contenders also were well represented. Special automobiles left Orange at 9 o'clock with the boosters from that section of the county. The two bridges, in the event that the Supervisors reach a definite decision to erect both of them, will be located at Richfield and the other at the plant of the Anaheim Union Water company. The following report of the findings of S.H. Finley, chief engineer Orange county highway commission, and J.L. McBride, county surveyor, was presented during the hearing: As per your request we have estimated cost of roads and bridges on various routes from the intersection of the Richfield road with the Placentia-Yorba road to the Riverside road and find it to be as follows: First, from the intersection Richfield road to the Riverside road, including a 1500-foot bridge and paved road,$29,000. Second, from Richfield road along north side of Santa Fe Railroad to subway,$17,000. Third, from subway to Riverside road, via old bridge location, including... adding that the amount expended by each nation would probably increase during the present year. Dr. Helffinch, speaking in the Reichstag, said that Germany's war expenditures in December was $500,000,000, but that it was slightly lower in the months of the present year. These three great European powers are thus spending 17 billion dollars per year for war purposes, and have already expended more than 30 billion dollars. As the public debt of these nations was before the beginning of the war 13 billion dollars, their indebtedness at the present time is something like 43 billion dollars. At 5 percent per annum, the interest paid by them is more than twice the amount of the total interest bearing debt of the United States, and according to recent figures the national wealth of this country is more than that of the three European nations combined. The cost of the war to the other nations engaged in the struggle is not definitely known, but it is estimated that the total indebtedness of these warring nations is not far short of 80 billion dollars, and the cost is mounting up at the rate of several billion dollars per month. An eminent statistician some days ago placed the total wealth of the United States at 220 billion dollars, while the total national wealth of these three European powers is 210 billion dollars. The interest bearing debt of the United States is one billion dollars, and upon this the country pays about $24,000,000 interest per year, while these nations now grappling in a death struggle pay annually more than two billion or ninety dollars to Uncle Sam's one. The total national wealth of Uncle Sam's domain is nearly a quarter of a trillion dollars. That's a new word, but it sounds pretty good. of the Richfield road with the Placenta-Yorba road to the Riverside road and find it to be as follows: First, from the intersection Richfield road to the Riverside road, including a 1500-foot bridge and paved road, $29,000. Second, from Richfield road along north side of Santa Fe Railroad to subway, $17,000. Third, from subway to Riverside road, via old bridge location, including 1500-foot bridge and pavement, $24,600. Fourth, total cost from Richfield road to Riverside road, via old bridge, $41,600. Fifth, from subway running easterly along the northerly side of Santa Fe Railway company about 2.3 miles; thence crossing railroad and continuing southerly crossing the river by the A. U. W. Co. pumping plant to the Riverside road, including a graded road, and a 600-foot bridge, $13,500. Sixth, total cost from Richfield road via A. U. W. Co. plant to the Riverside road (including pavement to subway), $50,500.
