ton by not giving the substance OF
Mr.. Clark's speech more fully Wha,
Mr. Clark said was that the Republi
can majority were going to write the
tariff bill to suit themselves I'm spite
Of protests from the minority and that
II they would write into IL items that
would be- TO the advantage Of his dis
trict he would vote for the bill The
items referred to by Mr.. Clark were a
protective duty on Sea Island cotton.
lumber and pineapples. When the
Republicans declined To include these
items in the protected list Mr.. Clark
voted against the bill.
The truth about the tariff Is that
the expenses OF the Government have
grown to such an enormous figure
that they cannot be met without AZ
foTding a certain measure OF protec
ton to the industries Of our country
A tariff that did not give this incident'
al protection would not raise revenue
sufficient 10 meet the expenses OF the
Government This is condition that
cannot be- surrounded. no matter what

INTERSCHOLASTIG TENNIS
Imperial Wins in Singles and Mixed Doubles and Heber In Boys
 Doubles.

Play in the Imperial Valley tennis tournament occupied all day Saturday. The play was sharp and clean and fully up to the standard of high school play elsewhere.
 Wilkinson, of Imperial, won the singles. Fry, of El Centro, got a bad start and had lost a love set before he struck his gait The second set was won by Wilkinson, to ). Fry's playing during most of this set waa good enough to win, but his poor paying in the first set had put him at a disadvantage which he was un- able to overcome. Bragg of Heber then essayed to stop Wilkinson, but was beaten in two straight sets, cham pionship in singles going for the year to the Imperial lad.
 Tout and Gelett, of El Centro, and i WHsie and Van Horn, of Heber, played 1 three close sets before the victory went to Heber. It was the closest match of the day and El Centro' s best opportunity to score a victory The Heber team had much less diff. culty in defeating Taylor and Arnold of Imperial, and retained the cham ! pionship.
 In the mixed doubles Dennis and Miss George, of Imperial, won both matches and the championship, first 1 defeating Bragg and Miss McCord, ol Heber, and later Fry and Miss Collier 1 of Fl Centro. Both these matches were closely contested and Imperia owes the victory to the speedy serv ing of Miss George and the fast net play of Dennis. Both Miss Collier ant Miss McCord appeared to be more ef fective players than Miss George eX cept in serving.
