Report Taft Wins
Support of Crane
And Hitchcock

There is a cIrcumstantiaI report IN
political circles today that the Taft
movement expects 10 annex 10 its or
Eanization two politicians Of the first
rank, who VIII very soon appear IN
managerial roles. The two men men
toned are Senator NVfnthr0n Murray
Crane Of Massachusetts. and First As

Senator Crane has been regarded for
some time as the real manager. outside

and the Knox people have relied upon
him % line up a large share Of the New
England support FOR the Peunsylvauian
But some recent DEVELOPMENTS have
brought 70 the Taft standard ass1Ir-

New England political interests with
which Senator Crane is closely anIi-

and the suggestion Of him as a convert
20 the Iatt movement comes naturally
upon the heels Of the statement. for
which there IS the highest Sena torIsl
authority, that Rhode Island has been
lined up for the Taft cause
Senator Cranes conversion would
mean a considerable Improvement OF
the Taft prospects in New England
The Taft people have recently claimed
with much confidence that they would
get an even break or better in NaSsa-
chUSetts. With Crane IN command and
Senator Lodge already committed TO
Taft they would be expected 10 better

The Process of Dumping

British newspapers report that al
ready the process of dumping
American manufactures In that
country, as a result of the business
depression here, has begun. a
single London firm is represented
to have bought 100000 worth of
American automobiles at such fig
ures that they can be sold at 40 to
80 per cent under usual prices. The
house has an option on another
81, 100000 worth, and expects to
make big thing out of them.
There is violent protest Ca the
part of British manufacturers who
see their infant motor industry in
prospect of being smOthered by the
American invasion. But the London
importing house is not at all con-
Cerned. 1t announces that it has
bought these cars at panic prices,
and will sell them at panic prices,
whether other folks like it or not;
that there are hundreds of English
motor users who don't care a fig
whether their car is French, Italian,
German, or British, if they can only
get it at 25 per cent of marked
figures.
The price is what sells the goods.
Appeals to patriotism are quite use
less against 25 per cent. But how
do American mOtor-car drivers en-
Joy the sensation? The London
house claims to be getting these
cars at 40 or so per cent under value.
Americans who have American cars
bought them at 100 per cent; now
they will have the pleasure Of see
ing like cars go abroad at so and 60
per cent.
1t must be the same old lie. Pro
tected manufacturers don't sell
goods abroad cheaper than at home.
1t will be duly and conclusiyely
proved once more this winter that
they don't. Messrs. Payne and Dal-
zelI will continue to convince people
who are anxious to be convinced.
The mere fact that the English
dealers have the American cars
there and are actually selling them
at 40 to 50 per cent oiR-what does
that show2 Without doubt, another
wicked conspiracy of the Golden
Club against the protective system,
Our high tariff patriots will con-
I tinue to stand for the old flag. a
liberal appropriation, and the re
vivaI of the schedules-upward, OF
course. The only effective answer
that can be given to these contume-
lions stories about selling goods
abroad cheaper than at home is To
revise the schedules-upward- Once
and for all, let it be understood
that facts are not facts, and can
never, never be recognized as such
when they interfere with the sacred
graft of the tariff beneflciaries.

Your True Bourbon.

That person is a true Bourbon,
according to a popular definition,
who forgets nothing and who learns
nothing. In all kindness, with the
deepest respect in the world, and
with the utmost admiration, we
must hold that under this definition
woman Is the true Bourbon. This
is really forced upon US more by
the daily circumstances of life than
by any studied reasoning which we
NAV have devoted to it, as well as to
other abstruse and recondite sub
jects.
Take, for instance, the little mat
Ter of getting off street cars When
rapid transit first made its appear
ance in the cities woman began to
get off backward. 1t was at once
pointed out to her in the clearest
and politest manner possible that
she erred in doing so; that it was
dangerous; that it was even unbe-
coming. Not even the last argu-
ment feazed her. She paid no at
tention to the rules or advice Of
the street car officials Then the
press took up the question, and
from Boston, where Woman has
reached the highest stage of intel
lectuaIity, to San Francisco, the
original habitat OF the Red Haired
Woman, the newspapers have urged
and argued, ridiculed and warned,
all in vain. Woman stin gets off the
car backward.
Then there is the peek-a-boo
waist. The doctors say it invites
pneumonia, bronchitis, tonsilitis,
pleurisy, neuralgia, and rheumatism
not to mention a rough and spotty
skin and increased prominence OF
the bony structure of the shoulders
and neck. No matter. The waist
STAYED there. Then the pulpit tries
its hands, and, figuratively, tears
that waist and its wearer into
shreds as shocking, immodest, and
almost immoral. Result? The holes
get little larger. Then the editors
with a smile of confidence take VI
the gage of battle. Woman cant
stand ridicule and publicity, you
know. Nothing fetches then
quicker. So the editors describe the
peek-a-bOo in detail, picture all 1t:
horrors and laugh loud and long a
