turned the tables on the trainers,
and the protection that had been MADE
sport of had the last and best laugh.
There were two dominant notes IN
the tariff legislation of 1928. The first
was the effort to make 1t ridiculous;
the other, the effort to make 1t O. sort
of political football in the presidential
field. The tariff had hitherto not been
a strict party question, but more OF
sectional issue. Now, soon observers
began to see a presidency in 1t. me
effort to make a president out or II
cropped out in the house proceedings
on the famous woolens bill of 1927. A
strong effort was made to unite all the
forces of free trade against Adams and
in favor of Jackson, and at the same
time to capture enough protectionists
to insure the election of Jackson. 1t
was necessary to strike New England
by refusing its manufacturers relief,
without seeming to reject protection
by a direct reputation. Led by James
Buchanan, the effort to make political
capital out of the woolens bill in the
house was entirely successful.
Politics was played in the senate
with equal success. Martin Van
Buren, could have cast the vote that
would have insured the passage of the
woolens bill, but he remained silent ana
thereby forced Vice President CAL
houn to vote, so as to place on Mr..
Calhoun's shoulders whatever odium
might attach to the defeat of the bill.
The woolens bill was defeated, but
both sides prepared for the struggle
of the next congress. When the Twen-
tieth congress organized it was found
that free trade was again in the sad
die. Andrew Stevenson, Virginia
free trader, was elected speaker,
though the protectionists declared that
his election was accomplished by
promises of concessions to them. The
organization of the house was a
triumph for the jackson party.

AT the City club luncheon yesterday
the direct primary law and legislative

more gratifying to a progressive Amer

WHITE

OSSIP with regard to Ambassador
~ White and his possible expert
VI ences with the Taft administra-
ton recalls the fact that ''politeness
pays" An old story is being revived
which sheds considerable light on "the
White affair."" as the French would
call it. When Secretary Taft was visit
ing London, his wife applied to Mr..
White at the American legation for
an invitation to one of the ceremonial
court functions which are attended by
all good Americans who are ''in the
SWIM" "Helen Taft?" said White,
looking at Mrs. Taft's signature. who
is Helen Taft, anyway" He hunted
for the name in the list of the four
hundred, the American Debretts or
Burke's. 1t wasn't there. He hunted
for it in the social registers. 1t wasn't
there.
tut, tut" said White. "our Amefi-
can women are becoming altogether
too aspiring, too ambitious" Then he
told his secretary to send the Taft per-
son a couple of tickets for the British
museum. In Mr.. Whites opinion a
visit to the museum was enough of a
fashionable dissipation for plain
plebeian like Helen Taft.
Whites intimates say that recently
he has been tossing and muttering in
his sleep, and uttering CALCULATIONS like
this:
"Helen Taft! Helen Taft! oh, Helen
Blazes."

TN all the history of the world there
has never been such a stupendous
effort to laugh anything out of the
court of public opinion as the effort
made in 1928 TO discredit protection as
a governmental policy. With mock
devotion to it, many free traders made
speeches In its behalf that were as
able presentations of the case of pro-
lection as its most sincere opponents
have ever offered. The free traders
became as lavish in handing out pro-
lection arguments as the most ardent
protectionists themselves. Duties were
