or negroes, and the application IS to
 be published two weeks in advance so as to give opportunity for inves- tigation and objection.
 The new ordinance practically tells the two races to live apart, and the city council will aid the segregation process whenever it grants permit to erect a residence. Segregation is not novelty in the south-in street cars, hotels, theatres, railroads and the like, and Baltimore is endeavor- ing to draw the color line in resi- dental districts. That city is flooded with negro newcomers, and it is striving to frame a practical segre- gation measure that the courts will not upset. The subject is one of inn portance, for the two races cannot live side by side in large cities with out certain ill-feeling and oftentimes serious trouble. It is believed that Baltimore has adopted an ordinance that will stand all tests and that will in practice prove useful and efficient.

From the Kansas City Times. MT Oscar Underwood of Alabama is to be chairman of the ways and means com mittee of the next House and demo- cratic floor leader, His views on the tar if. therefore, become of particular in- terest because of his probable influence on tariff legislation of the next two years. These views were somewhat fully ex- pressed in a speech he made when the Payne bill came before the House two years ago.
 Though he comes from a great manu- featuring district, MT. Underwood does not belong to the protectionst wing of the democratic party. Neither is he free trader. He favors revenue tariff so levied as to permit competitive importa- ton of goods.
 In his speech he pointed out that the democartc party had never favored free trade and that it had never enacted a tariff law that was not a revenue rather than a free trade measure.
 "The most distinctive democratic tariff bill'' he said, 'that was ever written on the statute books of this country was the
 
 duties levied under this tarifY did not ex- ceed 30 per cent ad valorem. they were levied on competitive articles, such as wool, cotton, iron and steel sugar and coffee. uncompetitive articles, were placed on the free list, which clearly demon strates that the democratic party in pre- pairing it's tariff bills has favored duty levied for revenue and also stood for the incidental protection that might arise from the levying of such a duty''
 Mir. Underwood explained that the chief difference between the two parties on the tariff is the difference between pro- hibitive tariff and a competitive tariff A competitive tariff he defined as one that allows sufficient imports of every product made in the United States to be imported from abroad to bring about fair and honest competition. thereby producing revenue and at the same time preventing the home producer from hiding behind a tariff wall that will enable him to estab- fish monopolies and unduly increase the burdens of taxation resting upon the American people"
 Revision on this principle would not be violently radical It would recognize the difference in the cost of production at home and abroad and would adjust the tariff level so that the protected American manufacturer would still remain in busi- ness, but subject to keener regulative competition from abroad than is possible at present.
 It would prevent combinations from levying monopolistic profits behind a higl, tariff wall as they do today. There is no reason why progressives of both parties could not get together for tariff revision in accordance with the views expressed by the democratic floor | leader

THE FLORIDA TIMEs-UNION

One of the south's most representa- tive newspapers is the Florida Times Union. which recently celebrated it's re ] moval to new home by issuing big ouse-warming edition. The Times Union Is now installed in one of the most complete newspaper plants in tne country and may well be proud of it's splendid progress. The house. warming edition gives some idea of the prosperi- ty enjoyed by the Times-Union and Jacksonville, the Florida metropolis which 1t has done so much to advertise and develop. The Age Herald extends the warmest congratulations to it's con temporary for having won a truly en- viable place among the newspapers of the United States. In new quarters providing every facility for the making of great newspaper, the Times Union bids fair to eclipse it's previous record for rapid growth
