HamIin Garland Declares Their Hero

Heroines of English and early
American novelists were decried by
Hamlin Garland in lecture yeste--
day at the University of Chicago.
Summer goods were much amused
when the lecturer declared that the
rld-time heroine was as beautiful as
an angel and just as fnsipid. Books
which picture the heroine in this
manner are not good for the young
girl of to-day to read, according to
Mr.. Garland, who said that a great
many things which girls learn about
they get from novels, and, therefore,
the best novel ought to be true to
common, everyday nature.
There is not so much loving and
love-making in everyday life as
poets suppose" he said. Man is too
busy during the day to be thinking
of love songs and ditties. Courtship
remains just as sweet and enhancing
as ever. People are beginning to dis
countenance the tin-sword romances
of the past and appreciate the actu-
alities of the present"

WHAT OF THE WAGE GARNER
A Question Which Free-Traders PET
sistentIy Overlook.

The plea of the free-traders is thai
the necessity for protecting our indus
tries has passed away. They CLAIM
that our industries have passed then
infancy" and are now lusty enoHgf
to stand alone. They point out tina
the enormous trusts or consultations
are able to meet the world in any mar
ket on even terms, and that it IL
wicked to tax the people in order tt
give them larger profits. And no jus
tice loving citizen could deny such
charge if the conditions were as the
free-traders state them.
In the first place, the free-traders
are mistaken in their claim that the
industries of America have been alb
sorbed by the trusts. There is no in
dustry engaged in by any tarif-pro
tected trust, which is monopolized by
that trust. To-day, for example, more
steel is being manufactured by the
many small and independent compan
les than by the big trust 1t is as neces
sary to protect these small concerns
as it ever necessary not only as
a means of keeping them alive, but
also as means of continuing the bet
ter pay which American workmen re-
ceive in every protected industry. This
is a phase of the question which the
free-traderS seldom take into con-
sideration. They are free enough with
talk and opinions as to the effect OF
free-trade on the trusts and on prices
but they dodge the question of what is
to become of the American working
man when he is put into direct com
petition with his underpaid European
fellow. 1t is certain that one of two
conditions will exist: we must pre-
serve the markets of America for
American-made goods at prices which
enable the manufacturers to pay good
wages, or we must force these manu-
facturers, through opening the door
to foreign competition, to put the
wages down to the European standard.
We can think of nothing more unpleas
ant to contemplate than such a fall in
the pay of American labor. And We
can think of nothing more disinter
ested, and, at the same time, more
suicidal than a laboring man voting
to overthrow the policy of protection

several senators and attendants rush
ed to the aid of the Indiana man and
pulled off Bailey the result might
have been more serious A slight
shaking and torn necktie were the
only injuries sustained by Mr.. Bev-
eridge. In the scuf11e his desk, which
was screwed to the floor, was partly
turned over by the onset of the mas
sive Texan.
The attack by Bailey was the re-
suit of a remark made by Senator
Beverage. The Texas statesman
made an attack on tne officials of the
state department., saying they were
either grossly incompetent or wiIlfully
negligent because they had not secur-
ed the release of a citizen of Texas
who is confined in a Mexican prison
and had failed to furnish Senator
Bailey with the papers relating to the
case.
Senator Beveridge defended the de-
partment and said the statements
made by Senator Bailey were "un-
warranted This remark incensed the
Texan, who Immediately demanded
that it be withdrawn. Senator Bev-
eridge replied that he would with
draw his remark if Senator Bailey
would retract the charges made
against the officials of the department
of state.
Mr.. Bailey declined to withdraw the
charges and the senate proceeded to
the consideration of executive bust
ness.
Immediately after the secret ses-
sion ended Senator Bailey walked to
where Senator Beveridge was sitting,
and again requested the Indiana man
to withdraw his remarks, when the
latter replied that he would do so II
