COLLEGE ATHLETICS

A MATEUR athletes everywhere will
IN applaud the resolution of the
Ia University of Southern California
to engage in intercollegiate sports with
Occidental, Whittier and Pomona col
leges. After the disgraceful exhibition
of the English in the great interna-
tional Marathon contest, 1t is more
than ever desirable that high stand
ards of American sport should be
maintained, and as long as colleges
take an active interest in athletics ana
field sports it is certain high stand
ard will be preserved. 1t is much bet
ter policy for schools and colleges to
recognize sport as a desirable feature
of educational life than to ignore 1t,
and when it is recognized, the recog-
milton should be friendly. Sports ana
contests which help the student and DO
not interfere with his studies, but
rather assist lem, and above all,
which most certainly do produce a col
lege spirit and enthusiasm which all
the learning in the world could never
produce, are beneficial to any uni
versity when they come within scope
of official observation and are distinct
ly recognized as part of the univer-
sity life or system. Intercollegiate
meetings teach young men TO give
and take" and they who win in a
gentlemanly spirit and who lose with
out bad temper may be expected to
display the same admirable qualities
in the great athletic field of real, car
nest life.

TARIFF ROBBERY

nv TARIFF robbery can be, illustrated
by many concrete examples-and
n robbery is the word. Protected
articles manufactured in the United
States are sold in Europe at lower
prices than those exacted from Ameri-
can purchasers.
Protected plows are sold to the farm
ers of the United States for $14. The
foreigner may buy them in Europe
for $3.50.
The domestic price of American Gull
tivators is Sill. In foreign lands, after
paying the freight, they may be bought
for $40.
In the United States American axes
cost $S.25 per dozen, but after ship
ment abroad the price. instead of be-
ing increased, is decreased to 1920.
Americans pay $1.4O for protected
kettles made in America. The foreigner
is permitted to buy the same kind of
kettle for So cents apiece.
In the United States protected table
knives cost SIS per gross. In Europe
the price Of these articles, which pre-
sumably includes cost Of shipment
from the United States, is only $12 per
gross.
The typewriter which in America
commands 500, crosses the Atlantic
and in London is vended at $50. The
American purchaser pays $40 per type
writer for the protection" of the type
writing industry!
American sewing machines are in de-
mand in Europe. A fine quality, which
costs $3.50 at home, Is sold to the for
eigner for $2075. To the American
housewife the medium grade costs $22.
The foreign housewife for the same
grade, delivered at her door in Europe,
pays $3.50. A cheap grade of sewing
machine is sold to Americans for SIS;
but Europeans can acquire 1t for $12.
No humble European home should be
without an American sewing machine.
This protected American industry
makes the American purchaser pay the
European freight and more.
Scythes and oilstones are sold abroad
so per cent cheaper than at home;
crosscut saws, SO per cent cheaper; har-
ness snaps, AZ per cent; levels and
plumbs, S6 per cent; zinc washboards.
65 per cent; corn shelters, 20 per cent;
butchers tools, IL to 40 per cent; horse
shoes, 81 per cent; carpenters tools,
20 to As per cent; varnish, 8 per cent;
stoves, SO per cent; safes, IT per cent;
plows, IL to 25 per cent; cylinder and
machine oil. 40 per cent; tack hammers
and screwdrivers, 80 per cent; dry
paint, rs to SO per cent; clocks, 3S per
cent; kerosene oil, So per cent; gaso-
line, 13 per cent; shot, 100 per cent;
watches, rs per cent.
A watch the American retailer sells
at SIS and cannot sell at less than $50
can be bought in England, shipped
back to New York and after expenses
are paid can be sold for $42.30.
How much longer do the American
people intend to be the easy marks of
a system Of rapine and plumber with
which Republicanism is so intimately
connected that high tariff may be said
to be its very soul3

Hy HE colonist rate of the railroads.
which is more alluring and con-
L. ducive to travel this year than
formerly, is now in effect. Several
western roads put the rate into ope-
ration earlier this year than is custo-
mary, because the demand of the peo-
pie of the east and middle west for
cheap transportation to this state was
greater than in any previous year.
It is a magnificent tribute to the SUI
blime possibilities of California, that
coming by hundreds of thousands of
people to our shores every winter. No
one ever hears or learns of Califor-
mans going to the east and middle
west as tourists in the winter time.
1t is with the utmost difficulty that
Pacific coast business men can be in
duced to cross the Rockies on even the
most important and impressive BUSH
ness when the winter months are with
us. No one cares to give UP this sun
kissed land for the bleak and forbid
ding climate which is found east of
the Rocky mountains, says the San
Francisco Globe.
All signs this year point to an ex-
ceptionally large and profitable tourist
trade. Railroad rates for colonists
have been put into effect month
earlier to meet the demand for cheap
transportation. Some of the tourists
are so anxious to reach California that

Political Points
BRYAN In Ohio

The significance of the tremendous
ovations rendered William Jennings
Bryan at Steubenville and other Ohio
cities cannot escape the most obtuse
political observer. At Steubenville, and
at Wheeling, w. Va, which is practi-
cally an Ohio city, the enthusiasm was
so great that the candidate was in
danger of personal harm from the
crushing toward him of the admiring
throngs. Both these places are nor
mally Republican. - Cleveland Plain

you; he is trying to scare you. A year
ago he might have threatened you.
