The Presidents decision has thrown
the stand patters into a frenzy. Their
protected constituents are enraged be-
cause they cannot sell at top prices to the
United States, but more so because the
Presidents decision will prove an inn
pressive object lesson to the American
people, will demonstrate that it is not an
occasional surplus which the American
manufacturers, and trusts, are selling
abroad at lower prices than the domestic,
but that they are continuously supplying
the foreign trade, ard at profit, at prices
far below those they charge 'Sths folks at
home," as the President puts it. The
stand patters believe the President has
won victory over them and that, backed
by the great mass. Of the Republican
party, he will compel them to re-adiust
those tariff schedules which changed
conditions have made too high.

AFTER THE DESERTER.
Plans to Catch Men Who Run
Ascay from Their Wives.

Deliberate and sustained publicity, his picture
in the paper and full details Of his life and char
scter will be the reward Of the Jewish wife de-
serrer in New-York hereafter. A committee of
prominent residents Of the East Side Jewish
colony is being formed under the auspices Of the
United Hebrew Charities. 1.-THE Jewish Daily
News" has promised the use OF its columns for
pictures or wife deserters and it is intended to
organize similar committees IN every Jewish
community Of any size in the country.
"Au charitable agencies and organizations
know that wife desertion is the increase. said
DR.. Frankel, superintendent Of the United He
brew Charities, yesterday. I'VE have suffered
in the same proportion as other people Of the
community; no more and probably no less. This
increase has been steady, gradual and proper
tiorats to the increase in the population. There
is no special increase in assertions just at this
time but there is a new law in New-York State
which will go into effect by the end Of the year,
which makes desertiOn Of the wife and family
felony instead of misdemeanor. The utmost
penalty for the misdemeanor was six months
Imprisonment. For the felony the imprisonment
may be two years, and in State prison. But
the great benefit Of the new law is that Gov
ernors of other States will be much more likely
to give extradition papers for felony than
misdemeanor.
But before you can get extradition papers
you must find your man. For this we have or
ganized this committee to push a permanent
campaign of publicity.
1.-THE committee will have special agent, TO
whom will be referred every application for
charity from a deserted wife. She will gather
q full description of the man, and his picture if
possible, and publish both in The Jewish Daily
News where they will be seen all over the
United States It will be said that information
of this man is wanted as his wife claims that
he has deserted her. Then these permanent
committees which our committee hopes to or
ganize In every city of any size, viii take note
of these publications.. We hope, by pegglnS
away at it, to get things 10 the point where no
Jew can desert his family and disappear per-
manentlv in this country.
''When we get the deserter, if he is willing TO
come back and support his family we shall not
prosecute him. II ne will not we shall prosecute
and put him in State prison if possible. our
object is not punishment, but to secure the sup
port OF the family"
AS 70 whether every deserving husband and
father would be able to support his family If
brought back, DR.. Frankel declared that while
