HUGHES ON SPIRIT OF PLAY.
Governor Praises Playground System

Governor Praises Playground System
and Its Work In Cities.
Governor Charles Evans Hughes of
New York was the principal speaker
at a recent session Of the second an
nual congress of the Playground Asso-
citation of America, which has been
holding forth at the American Museum
of Natural History, in New York city.
He said the best way to train boy to
do right is not to lecture him into
tears about his wrongdoing, but to
show him the delight of noble and
happy boyhood.
The successful worker must have
the spirit of play in his heart" said
Governor Hughes, "and the successful
man is only a boy with a mans ex-
perience. He must have the zest, the
devotion, the spirit of comradeship
the capacity Of self forgetfulness, add
ed to the wholesome outlook Of the life
Of the boy. if he is to do a mans work
in the world. How are we in our
great congested population to make
possible the spirit of play, the oppor.

velopment Of the normal manhood:

gestion, but can bid you godspeed

we are fighting with intelligence,
and, we hope, wisely, the great white
plague. But the dread disease of tu-
berculosis must be successfully fought
by developing stamina, physical
strength. plenitude in all the physical
activities. We must nourish that
strength in childhood. We do not
want simply hospitals and pavilions
and notices giving instructions to those
who are infirm. We. want to save the
health of the country so that we may
develop a strong, well nurtured com.

but the preservation of life and the

Governor Hughes said he did not be-
lieve in making boys compete in sports
that necessitated training which they
lacked merely to encourage play. Rou-
tine and schedules and a training
which smack Of playground congress
should be banished, he said, and the
Fairgrounds should be for boys and
girls who just want to play.
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1908-09-30

The American demC cracy has abol-
ished, or has nothing to do with, the
ancient privileges of mobiles, court
favorites, sinecure holders and com.
mercial Adventures by royal mono
poly charter, but has been more than
ready to create privileged manu-
facturers by tariff legislation, in spite
of the fact that equality before the
law has been theoretically the very
foundation of American government
and society.
The enrichment Of few individuals
or OF small class at the expense OF
the bulk of the community and with
no benefit to the state is, however, not
the worst result of the protective pol
icy. The worst result is the legal vio-
lation by the republic itself of funda-
mental equity, and this result is ag-
gravated by the falsely altruistic
arguments used in support of the
tariff. The man who acts unjustly for
reasons which seem to him benevolent
or humanitarian is more dangerously
poisoned than the man who is unjust
for straight selfish reasons and ad-
mits to himself just what he is doing
and why. The fallacies of protection
are all the worse because they are
covered with the nauseous slime of a
pretended altruism. In short, the
chief objection to protective legisla-
ton is a moral one-namely, that il
diminishes the enterprise, self.re.
lance and sense Of justice of the
population as a whole. That legisla
tion is a serious mental and mora
evil which has been for fifty years
working injustice at home and con
tracing American exchanges abroad
because two generations of voters
have been hoodwinked with wore
-''protection.'' No revision O.
schedules can dig up this evil by the
roots. 1t will only be cured when The
national legislature makes the tariff
nothing but one means among many
Of raising needed revenue.
It is constantly asserted and very
generally believed that the object O
the tariff is to protect American work
men against the lower-paid workmer
of other countries, butth is obvious
ly neither the purpose nor the effec
of the high tariff. 1t is not its pur
pose because the tariff rates on almos
all products are MANIFOLD the differ
ence in labor cost. This fact ha!
been demonstrated over and owe
again in governmental and privat,
inquiries and reports on numerou
industries. That the tariff is no
necessary to the maintenance of Amer
lean wages or American standard
of living appears clearly with tn
common practice of selling American
goods in foreign countries at mucl
lower prices than they are sold in tn
United States and yet at a profit
The high American wages have beer
paid by the manufacturer who finds i
to be to his interest to sell his good.

President Eliot of Harvard
Denounces the Tariff
Famous College Head Says the Worst Result Ct the Protec
tive Policy the Legal Violation Of Fundamental Eqity

According to President Eliot of Har-
ward University, the high tariff which
has prevailed in the United States
since the Civil war has done a little
good in the way of building up new
industries, just as patents and other
monopolies may, but it has done i'm
measurable harm to American indust-
ries and commerce and is likely to do
more harm as time goes on. In the
first place, it has postponed and OBJ
structed the effective entrance of Amer
lean products into the markets of the
world. Many American industries,
including the fundamental industry of
agriculture, produce much more sala-
BILE material then can possibly be sold
in the United States, and all these in
dustries must sell their surplus pro-
ducts outside the United States at a
great disadvantage because the pro-
ducts have paid high duties on the raw
or partially manufactured materials
which enter into them, on the imple-
ments or machinery which were used
in producing them and on the struct-
ures which sheltered and distributed
them. AS a country which produces
in normal years much more grain,
meat and cotton and many more manu-
featured goods then it can consume, it
is the interest of the United States to
develop for itself world markets under
the most favorable conditions possible.
The tariff prevents or obstructs the
attainment of those favorable condi-
tions.
Secondly, the tariff wall and the re-
fusal of American registry to foreign
built vessels have together destroyed
the American ocean-carrying trade,
once valuable American industry.
A nation which prohibits the impor-
tation of the natural exports of other
nations, or, what amounts to much the
same thing, charges higher duties than
other manufacturing nations charge
on foreign raw Or unfinished products,
cannot maintain profitable carrying
trade with other nations. The ocean
carrying trade will be possessed by
the foreign trading nation or nations.
Subsidies alone can never restore the
lost carrying trade, for where there is
no steady, profitable exchange of pro.
ducts across seas there can be no
profitable ocean-carrying trade. The
national government might as well
substitute railroad trains between two
parts of this country which had nc
exchangeable products.
Again, the high tariff is the accep.
ted democratic way of comforting
privileges by law on individual mer
or small classes of men. Sometimes
the privileged men are really few ir
number. At other times the priv.
legged class may be fairly numerous
and yet an insignificant proportion Of
the total population. Despotic and
aristocratic governments have long
practiced the creation by law Of
privileged or favored men or classes.

EVERY opportunity to improve his
organization and his machinery and
increase his skill. Monopolies are
always unprogressive because they
are relieved Of competition. If the
American people mean to maintain
their individual liberty in Industries,
trades, commerce, and politics, they
must steadily defend themselves
against monopolies, whether created
and maintained by tariffs, unlimited
franchises or associations of either
wOrkmen or capitalists.

and killed this afternoon on Seventh

flats, by Robin Cooper, son Of Colo
mel Duncan B. Cooper.
Mr.. Carmack was going north ON
Seventh avenue in front Of the Polk

on Union street. Soon after they
came in sight of one another the
shooting began. Robin Cooper, it is
said, fired two shots and Senator

did not fire.
Senator Carmack feYI to the ground

results of the recent Democratic
