A Scared Stand Patter.

The Protective Tariff league must
be singing loud hallelujahs In It's
sanctum sanctorun that the sacred
tariff will be revised higher II the Re
publicans are successful at the elec
tion. The league holds fast to the
fundamental absurdity that a high
tariff protects not only the manu-.
facturer. but the laboring man as well.
In fact. Mr.. Charles A. Moore, presi-
dent OF the league. who was In Chi.
cago at the convention TO see that no
harm came to the sacred Dingley tar.
In from its friends. the Republicans,
said:
IF the alleged tariff reformers OF
revisionists prevail at the convention
the incoming administration will be
pledged to a revision downward, mean.
ing greater importations OF foreign
goods and the displacement OF Ameri.
can products. less production, less EN-.
ployment, and reduction OF wages, and
placing our people on the same basis
as foreigners"
But the danger from all these dire
ful predictions of disaster have been
warded on, and instead Of revision
downward" We are promised revision
upward" through the addition TO the
present law OF higher scale OF du-
ties. TO be known as the maximum tar.
IN.
So Mr.. Moore and his league OF tar.
iff-pampered trusts can now be calm
as far as the Republican party Is con.
cerned and turn their attention 10 the
wicked Democrats. who are for real

CAN NOT EvApE THE BLAME.
Republicans In Vain Seek to Lay Pan
ie 10 Democrats.

The Republicans in 1896 had no
doubt as 20 who should be blamed for
the panic OF 1929, which was brought
on by the reckless silver purchase act
OF 1890. That law was proposed by a
Republican administration and passed
in the house OF representatives with
unanimous Republican vote In It's
favor. and n unanimous Democratic
vote against II. Therefore. the Repub-
lican party proceeded to resolve that
the Democratic party was responsible.
for: 1T has preclpitated panic. blight.
ed industry and trade with prolonged
depression. closed factories. reduced
work and wages. halted enterprises.
and crippled American production"
The Democrats can now retort In
kind by adopting that Republican
plank as exactly fitting present condi.
tions for every consideration OF pub
lie safety and individual interest de.
mands that the government shall be
rescued from the hands OF those who
have shown themselves incapable OF

having had full control OF the govern
ment for the pest 12 years. there can
be no just accusation that the devil
ish Democrats have "precipitated pan
les. blighted industry and trade. with
prolonged depression" etc.
But the brazen effrontery OF our Re
publican friends was quite equal to
the occasion. for to get out OF the
panic mess they could not charge to
the Democrats. the platform Just
adopted at Chicago declared that:
Nothing so clearly demonstrates
the sound basis upon which our com
mercial. Industrial and agricultural In.
terests are founded. and the necessity
OF promoting their continued welfare
through the operation OF Republican
policies. as the recent safe passage OF
the American people through a finan.
cial disturbance. which II appearing In
the midst OF Democratic rule or the
menace Of II. might have equaled the
familiar Democratic panics OF the
rast."
But have the American people had

sleeping 10 all intents and purposes;

John Wesley first sprang to fame
when Bob" Taylor was governor Of

Big Money Earned by Women Embalmers

ing in a hospital" said another, for
the embalming methods OF the present
day are very simple. But where there
are thousands OF women who are
anxious to become nurses there are
none who desire to start on this work.
"A woman can show greater
amount OF sympathy for the bereaved
relatives than a man is capable OF
doing.
In many ways they seem so fitted
for the work, and II is beyond my
comprehension why women don't enter
this profession.
THE fact that they do not fear the
presence OF death can. be easily proven
by inquiry at the morgue or at any po-
lice station More women than men
gather at these places after some
tragedy.
There are embalming schools In
this city where woman can enter upon
a course in this work. but very few
do. Upon graduation they can obtain
work Immediately, and probably get
one or two cases 3 day at ten dollar
each.

responsible for the continued decrease
which records kept now show. Serl'
Gus objection is made in certain coun.
tries Of Europe to the rate at which
emigration TO the United States has
reduced their population. The United
States will now seek to learn through
its representatives abroad whether
the methods taken TO keep immigrants
from this country are such as to mis-
represent conditions here.
The number OF immigrants for May
was 36.317, as compared with 1s4,SS6

The immigration from Russia, which

After his present term expires he
will return to Tennessee TO take up

For John Wesley Gaines had ambi-

of day coming when the southland
would claim its own and when another

But from these wild dreams Mr..

What Republican Is to do the fat
frying" this year? There is no doubt
that Mr.. Cortelyou would be best able
to undertake IT, He knows all about
the weak spots In the armor OF the
trusts and protected monopolies and.
therefore, just about how much fat
can be squeezed out OF each corpora
ton without making them feel they
are being imposed upon. Then the
Wall street financiers, who have here
tofore been charging up their dona-
tions to some corporation, must also
be dealt with tenderiy now they have
to draw against their own bank ac-
counts, and who knows better than
Mr.. Cortelyou Just how much to as
sess them?
But there are peculiar dificulties
this year in making collections. be-
cause the interests that give do not
repay for what has been done for
them. but expect promises OF protec-
tiou and advantages In the future.
The tariff-protected trusts will re
quire assurances that their particular
schedule shall not be revised, and
with a platform promising all kinds
Of reform. although none is intended.
II will be difficult to make a skittish
trust magnate believe he and his In
terests will be left alone, when the
Republican spellbinders and candi-
dates are assuring the gullible Repub-
lican voters that real reform is in
tended. Rockefeller and Morgan viii
evidently have to do the bulk OF the
giving for the financial interests. for
they hope to have the currency Law
made perpetual.
But there is a rich kettle of fat In
the railroads that will yield enough TO
grease all the Republican machinery.
and allow the politicians 10 live In lux
ury. The railroads are poor now. In
consequence OF the Republican panic
and the continued business depression.
but II they don't yield TO the fat fryer
they may expect that reform legisla-
tion, heretofore threatened, might be-
come reality. Then, too, nearly every
railroad has been law breaker. and
some are still at II, and the evidence
is on file in the secret archives OF the
Interstate commerce. commissiC.. Yes!
Hartman will have TO come down
again. The Republican fat fryer will
have the evidence of rebating and re-
straint of trade and high rates at his
fingers ends before he starts on his
mission of collecting the tainted funds
10 save the country and incidentally.
of course. to save the railroads -spd
the Republican party.
The poor old Democracy will have
to trudge along with about enough TO
pay printing and postage. and rely
upon dollar subscriptions and volun-
teer help. Unless all signs fail. the
Republicans will be swimming in fat.
and all the new. so-called reform laws
and regulations have been arranged
to help the frying process.
Still, II will need an adroit fat fry
er. II the Democratic candidates
would demand publicity as to where
all funds come from and for what ex-
pended. TO be published every day
from the opening OF the campaign.
they could put the party of great NOR
al ideas. but of corrupt purposes and
actions, into hole that would keep
them busy TO escape from until cleo

Taft may be the best man the Re

Profession Of Being a WOIna:

To be man is the simples st thing
in creation. O..e has only to be as
nature made him. All the balance
is dead easy. He may be ugly.
Nobody cares. Freckled faced.
Bald headed. He is still a man.
He may be awkard. 1t does not
matter. He may fall over his own
feet, tear women's gowns off of their
waists by treading upon them, break
down furniture and smash teacups.
He is still a man. He may be stupid
and dull as a meat axe. He is en-
dured, even sought In society, al
though he may bore like I4-inch
auger He pays his way, he justl-
fees his presence by the simple ex-
pedient of being man. Women
have no such cinch in existence. A
girl baby is born to trouble and the
strenuous life, for just to be wo.
man is the hardest profession on
earth. 1t makes law and medicine,
the army and the navy, and the
church seem like mere child's play,
and the real reason that no woman
has ever won great renown in any
of these callings is because nobody
can carry on successfully two diff
