High cost of living prevails in
Germany as well as in the United
States. The people attribute It 10
the tariff. The German chancellor,
however. insists it is not the tariff
but the inability OF the farmers to
raise enough foodstuffs.
He made this remark in the
reichstag and it was greeted with
boots.
The people cannot be fooled. They
know that when tariff schedules are
prepared by favored interests the
people must get the worst Of it.
1t used 10 be said in this country
that never mind how high the tariff
may be. il did not hurt the consum-
er. as the foreigner paid the tax
This is not swallowed any more
when a manufacturer can make an
article at cost Of . cents and he
places II on the market AT 81. il does
not need a mathematician 70 decide
who pays the difference
The people have become wise TO
this everywhere and are demanding
thorough downward revision.

Old Judge Technically Cnseated in
California

Among the other amendments to
the state constitution approved by
vote of California recently is one
providing that a just verdict shall
not be set aside because of a techni-
cal error.
Ever since California was admit
ted TO statehood it has been posi-
BILE TO defeat justice on technical
grounds. In all that time dignifed,
Independent judges above the pas
sions of the mob, were on the bench
and they made no effort TO secure
a change in the interests of justice.
In all that time, too, there sat in
the legislature the elected represen-
tatives Of the people-men presum-
ably above the average in virtue and
ability and knowledge Of statesman
ship and legal jurisprudence. Yet
they made no move TO secure a
change in the interest of justice.
There came the trial of Schmitz.
boodIer mayor, catspaw Of the inter
ests, demagogue leader of labor.
Convicted and sentenced to Jail he
was liberated, escaping punishment
because the Indictment did not set
forth that he was mayor Of San
Francisco when he committed the
crime. Yet all San Francisco knew
and the world at large knew that
Schmitz was mayor of San Francisco.
The circumstances directed the at
tention Of the people of California
TO the need Of adopting safeguards

So they in their inferior minds and
impelled by a mob instinct, draft
ed a constitutional amendment Of the
effect indicated above. And what is
more, they incorporated the amend
ment into their constitution and for
ever hereafter it will be impossible

in California.

Her cheeks are rosy and her mouth

Her eyes glow with health and good

but none of it cones off.
The sound of her voice is proof posi-

The other day I went with the Girl
Who Walks for a stroll through the
woods
We shufled our feet among the
fallen leaves and laughed and talked
until the silence of the woods fell upon
US. Then we stood and listened, and
we heard the little good-byes of the
leaves as they left the great branches
and futtered to the ground.
And the branches, like great arms.
waved blessings to the little leaves as
they fell.
It's the goodbye time" spoke the
Girl Who Walks.
We trod more lightly on the fallen
leaves.
It's kind of cheerful solemn, isn't
it, she added.
Then We spoke quietly and reverent-
~ of the big mysteries, and we came
out Of the woods better beings because
we had been there.
You couldn't help loving the Girl
Who Walks. She hasn't any of the
ills or Iittlenesses that are ingrOwn by
those who never breathe deep OF the
good air, who never stretch their eyes
TO a wide horizon, who never feel each
muscle respond TO a tussle with the
elements.
Neither her fee nor her sou, Is
Cramped. Both her waist and her heart
are normal. Her thoughts are as clean
and as wholesome as her body. And
there's that about her which impress
as trust, for there's something too big
for treachery in this girl with the
spirit of outdoors. It's q wonderful,
beautiful world for the Girl Who
Walks.
It might be just as wonderful and
beautiful world for other girls who
are blue and pessimistic and morbid
and feel that everything is against
them. If they only knew-mOst of
such feelings come from the tight
shoes and thin silk stockings, the
tight corsets and transparent waists,
the Happy picture hats and the ham
pering tight skirts that they wear.
\ womans health and thoughts and
feelings as well as her physical liber-
" are governed much by the kind of
clothes she wears.
The Girl Who Walks has health
and poise and true womanliness.
Would you rather be like her - or
cheaply "fashio1able?"
