A PROTEST THAT SHOULD BE

Several women's clubs in the east
and similar organizations have united
to suppress the movement to place
this woman on the stage. The reso-
lutions passed by some of the so

tated to print the text. They char
acterize her intention to profit by the
iunenviable reputation she has secured

that the citizens of North Yakima

Information bureau which plans,
among other things, to be able to tell
fair visitors where they may find
rooms and accommodation for stop

city will now come forward and CO.

Tariff Revision Next Winter

It is announced, practically from headquarters, that the Presidents tariff board will "be unable to re- port in December on any schedules except those of wool and cotton" !" The various protective and standpat associations are at the same time saying that no schedule should be touched until all can be. The old art of logrolling forbids. Whether the President can line up the stand pat crowd for what his pet board re- ports, or whether they will take the position that all the schedules or none should be revised, remains to be seen.
 But while the standpatters are quarrelling on their side of the fence the democrats of the House, under the leadership of Oscar W. Under wood, will continue to send revised schedules to the Senate, and possibly to the White House, and these re- yised schedules will far outrun any platform declaration as an issue in the election that is to follow.
 The long session that will soon be opened will be a President-making session above, perhaps, any other of modern times. The democratic side of the great issue is in the hands of Oscar Underwood, and Alabama stands ready to assure the democrats of the country that their cause is in trustworthy hands. No errors will be committed, no blunders or foolish speeches will be made. And it will not be bit surprising if the country next June decides that Oscar Under wood is the right man-the safe man-to put in the White House.

ALAHAMA,S CANDID ATE

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 one of the most gratifying results of the Spanish American war was the complete elimination of sectionalism in the political thought and action of the people of the United States. The destruction of the Maine ended all the ranking and bitter memories of the civil war. and partisan enmities and sectional strife were swallowed up in the tidal wave of patriotic fervor which swept the country throughout it's en- tire length and breadth. Sectionalism is dead, never to be resurrected, and the voters of the country bar no candi- date for national preferment on ac- count of state or section.
 The friends of the Hon. Oscar w. Underwood of Alabama are firmly of the opinion that hIs ability, his tenn perament, his experience. fully qualify him for the position of chief executive of the nation, and it is understood that his name will be presented by the state of Alabama for the presidential nomi- nation to the democratic national con- vention. MT. Underwood's service to the country during nine terms in the national House of Representative has been most distinguished, and has made his name a household word in the homes of the people. For more than 20 years he has been in the very front of his party's battle line, leader from his youth, and ever faithful to his party's principles and candidates. No democrat can find flaw in his politi- cal record; no charge of desertion in any campaign; no accusation of serv-
 ing special interests can lie against him.
 His congressional colleagues respect him for his sincerity, his high sense of honor, his sagacity and his acknowl- edged ability, and this in itself is an infallible proof of his merit, for none know so well the capabilities of a statesman as those who have served
 many years with him and noted his conduct in days of peace and those of political storm.
 Born in Kentucky and educated al Rugby school, Louisville, and at the University of Virginia, Alabama claims him now as her favorite, and when called to vote in convention will lead the roll call of the states with the name of oscar w. Underwood. This action of his state is sure to be fol- lowed by support of other states, for his friends are numerous and active il each and all of them, and his admira-
 bIe leadership of the democratic forces
 in the present House has made him { | national fayorite. A strong man, {
 man of conviction and force, not mere l iy of impulse Hon. Oscar w. Under wood has before him career that will
 prove his worth at every occasion tha' arises for the exercise of his talents.

contamination of the soil is avoided In districts in which dry closets are numerous no barefooted child is safe from acquiring the bacillus of lazi- ness. It is easy to say that the hookworm germ is to be found in rural districts. The truth is, it ex- ists in any soil that is polluted, be it urban, suburban or strictly rural.
 There are in this city about 16,0O0 dry closets, and steps should be taken to eliminate them. Surely 1000 of these public ills can be weed ed out year, if the health inspectors will do their duty and the city com missioners will back them up, while they compel district after district to put in sanitary sewers. The sanitary sewer should precede the storm sew CT, although the latter is needful. The sanitary sewer is a matter of health or disease.

Why Coffee Is High

There is no duty on coffee in this country, and yet it is high in the face of well known large supplies, and is firmly held. Why is this?
 To prevent a panic in the coffee trade on account of over production Brazil, which grows nearly all the coffee consumed in this country, took vast quantity of coffee as collat- eral, loaning on it immense sums of money to the coffee growers of that country. The loans were placed in this country and in Europe, and a combine for holding up the price of coffee thus consists of foreign bank CTS and coffee growers as well as the government of Brazil The coffee is deposited in warehouses in this country and in Europe, and just enough is sold to maintain enhanced figures
 Brazil is at the bottom of the arti- ficial prices for coffee, for it was she who made public loans to coffee growers. On account of the placing of her loans we have an international trust to uphold the price of coffee, and it is not easy to see how this trust can be upset. It is an indefen- sible trust because it interferes with competition and fair trade, but it is a trust that reaches from the plan, tation to the warehouse, and it bids fair to name the price of coffee re gardless of production.

THE AUTHORS TEMPTATIONS

From the Chicago Record-Herald.
 Undue prosperity demoralizes all along the line. The aftermath of best selling" is being gleaned in the divorce courts. A writer Is safe enough so long as he functions industriously in the obscure provinces, but when the clubs, cafes and salons of the big towns get him domestic functions follow.
 The list of unhappy wives of well known husbands-welf known as novel; ists. poets, dramatists and the rest-is growing. Several notable items have been added to it of late, but the sad roster need not be reproduced here. Flattery, dissipation and the gay life m general have a way of bringing out latent temperament and of inflaminG temperament that Is already perceptible to an excessive and uncomfortable pitch One might as well be the first wife ol a Pittsburg millionaire as the hum- ble helpmeet of a best-seller- -to-be.
 Authors wives have as much right to be happy as other women have. We call for a restoration of earlier condi- lions, when there was no world market for successful authors in English and it's dialects, when the era of magazine consultations was still remote and when novelists had not begun to collect picture galleries and to tour Europe ir their own motor cars. It looked, little while back, as if writers, by reason o1 their very number and ubiquitousne3s might soon become negligible as figurei of interest; but extreme success ant prosperity in any walk will always at tract attention and lead into temptation Back. then, to plain living and higi ! thinking.
