Our Coddled Industries

A brooklyn manufacturer gave some
testimony before the ways and means
committee of the house the other
day. 1t was Their Illuminating tes
timony. This man. speaking from
personal knowledge, testified that
American labor is the cheapest in the
world. Wages are high here to be sure
but labor produces so much more
here than abroad that the labor cost
of an American article is below that
of it's foreign competing article. And
then, the ma nfacturer summed up the
effects OF the sacro sanct tariff as
follows:
The protective tariff has enabled
American manufacturers to sell at
such high prices that they have not
studied their own conditions closely.
They have relied on government sup
port, rather than on business man
agement."
1t is IA rather sweeping statement;
but Is Il not true? The corrObOrat-
ing testimony IL endless. Judge Gray
testified that the steel trust absorbed
the Tennessee Coal and Iron FOR pure
philanthropy. OF course; but he al
mitted that the effect VI that alb
sorption was to eliminate home c0hi-
petition: aud we all know that the
tariff on steel products makes foreign
competition tmp,-sible. The same
day that the Brooklyn manufacturer
was on the stand. "A representative of
the sugar trust testified that this or
ganization had eliminated competi-
tion at home; and once again. the
tariff cut of the p pssibility Of compe-
tition from abroal. In the absence
OF competition, it il perfectly safe To
say that fall measure OF efficiency Is
never reached. Busically. we are all
lazy. We do M much as we are urg
ed to by force of circumstances IL
government bounty protect us from
the prod of necessity. we drop easily
into the eclass OF government paupers.
The Brooklyn manufacturer says
that n goodly portion OF the pro
tected" industries are Ia this pauper
class right now. and frankly, we be-
lieve him.-Denver Daily News.

$50 Recipe Cure
 Weak Men.--Free
sena Name and Address Today-You Can Have It Free and Be Strong
 and Vigorous.

l nave ln my possession 8 prescrip. ion for nervous debility, lack of viz sr. weakened manhood, failing mem- sry and lame back, brought on by sxcesses, unnatural drains, or the .oilies of youth, that has cured so many worn and nervous men right in heir own homes-without any addi- donal help or medicine-that I think avery man who wishes to regain his aanly power and virility quickly and quietly should have copy. So have determined to send copy of thu prescription free of charge in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man sno will write me for it.
 This prescription comes from a phy- yllian who has made special study of men and 1 am convinced that it is .ne surest acting combination for the sure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put together
 think I owe it to my fellow man Q send them copy in confidence so that any man anywhere who is weak and discouraged with repeated ftlil- dres may stop drugging himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what I believe is the quickest acting restorative upbuilding, SPOT-TOUCH- ING remedy ever devised, and so cure himself at home quiet and qu ckly. Just drop me line like this: Dr. A. E. Robinson, 1926 Luek building, Detroit. Mich, and I will send you copy of this splendid recipe in a plain ordinary envelope free of charge. A great many doctors would charge B to $5 for merely writing out a prescription like this-lbut I send 1t entirely free.

when she met the other guests and Sat down at tha hio ro11nd tnb1o

when she met the other guests and sat down at the big round table There was confusing display of knives and forks and spoons, but her native wit prevented any "3l@ard- ness.
 It was the men CT oaeA si3e cf her. however, who aiafnfa her. oily had never been s.t q less fo. -! or a gay rctort until now. But the people around her live0 in world of their own. They talked of operas, of sports, of places of which Molly knew noth- ing. She didn't know that her pretty, blushing shyness charmed the multi millionaire at her left and piqued the curiosity of the ambassador or her l right. She was uncomfortable and l self-conscious as she tried to fiji her stammering little phrases to this new environment.
 l Gradually, as she gained poise, she confessed to herself that she was hav ing very stupid time. It wasn't bit like Christmas; although the color scheme of the table was green and red, there was no holly, no mistletoe, just gorgeous American beauties and wide satin ribbons. She had vision of the table set in the shabby dining room at home. In the center would be great bunch of holly, and above it would hang little wax angel. At one end she saw her father, his knife cutting through the cracking brown of the turkeys breast. The delicate fare of the hotel paled in comparison to her mothers cooking. At home there would be large helpings of mashed potatoes and turnips and gravy. The cranberry sauce would be served in big dishes.
 AS they drove home together, Mrs. Phelps said: You were a success, my dear. If you will let me, I'll bring you out. Perhaps you will make grand marriage. It would be great thing for girl like you"
 Molly's response was not enthusias. tic. She did not like to appear un- grateful, but she had had most un- happy time. She had been a stranger Ill a strange land.
 When she had changed her dress Mrs. Phelps sent her home in her car.
 Terry met her at the door. Back of him was the red light of the din- ing-room lamp. Babe and Billy fell on her neck and welcomed her, and fa ther and mother smiled in the back ground
 Molly had gifts for all of them. The lilies went on the center of the table, and she had tied up candies and al monds in the corner of her handker- chief. q had an awful time hiding them," she confessed, but I knew how you'd like them."
 She had red rose for Terry
 "The multi-millionaire gave it to me-" she said Mrs Phelps wants me to marry him.
 Terry looked at her with his heart in his eyes, but he didn't say word.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1911-12-17

Was Molly going to be ...lowed up in that strange world, wh, re men had millions and didn't have to work?
 But Molly was demanding some of her mothers turkey.
 ''I hardly ate thie" at dinner" she said. Tt was awful sitting up there and having people stare at me-
 They brought it to her with delight. and she had to taste little bit of ev- erything and praise it.
 When it was time for Terry to go she went with him to the front door, and they stood for a moment under the stars.
 Will you be going back to them ?" Terry asked jealously.
 Why should I?" Molly asked You couldn't go with me, could you, Terry?"
 The next morning, when Molly went back to her sewing, Mrs. Phelps said. The multi-millionaire wants to meet you again. When shall we plan for it, Molly?"
 Never" said Molly calmly "I am going to marry Terry, and then won't have any time for multi-million. aires. will I?"

silly, Molly:
 Molly began to wonder if she wasn't silly. Here was an opportunity star ing her in the face. Opportunity to meet rich men, opportunity to wear beautiful clothes.
 Do you really want me to go to your dinner?" she asked. half timidly
 "Of course" Mrs. Phelps said; "and 1 want you to try on the gown now
 It was wonderful gown of white chiffon with the hem heavy with sil yer. There was a twist of white tulle which banded Molly's red-gold hair with a silver rose at the side. The on Molly's tiny feet.
 "They can be tied on with ribbons, Mrs Phelps decided, and they won't show under that long skirt"
 In front of the long mirror Molly saw a wonderful vision.
 Mrs. Phelps brought from box a long wrap of lace and ermine and rose. colored velvet.
 s'I was afraid that color wouldn't go with your hair she said but it gives you distinction after all.'
 On her way home. again clothed in her shabby suit, Molly told Terry about it.
 She is going to give Christmas dinner at the Belvidere." she said, and one of her guests has disap- l., her place, and I'm going to do it, Terry"
 Terry's face fell. Then you won't have dinner with us," he said. We'll miss you, Molly"
 Oh. but it's my opportunity" her face was glowing. Think of the people I'll meet"
 He did think of the people she would meet, as he tramped home alone in the cold twilight. Terry knew something of the world, something of the men who would be at that dinner.
 Babe and Billy protested strongly when they learned that Molly, the light of the household, was to spend her Christmas evening away from them.
 Tt will spoil all our fun," they said.
 Terry will be here" Molly told them. "Mother has planned a late dinner, because he has to work part of the day"
 She felt little eonscienca-strieken however, as she left them, and not un- til she had donned the beautiful gown at Mrs. Phelps could she put the thought of their fearful faces out of her mind.
 It was a wonderful experience to ride through the streets in the limou- sine, wrapped in the rose-colored cloak, with a great bunch of Yalley lilies in her hand. She felt ii'Je a princess. She had the air of prri. cess, too, as she swept through the wide corridor of the hotel, following Mrs. Phelps.
 Her pleasure was ended, however,

SPORTING DEPARTMENT
FOOTBALL SCOUTS NOW AS
COMMON AS IN BASEBALL
IN FORMER YEARS HIS DUTY
WAS A DIFFICULT ONE.
His Duty is to Ferret Out Plays to Be
Used by Enemy.

Baseball scouts have for many years
been one of the most important assets
belonging to the great American ma
tional game, but it has only been
within the last few years that the foot
ball scout has come into prominence
Unlike the baseball scout, the football
scout does not go about the country
trying TO discover star players. In
stead, his duty is to learn the style
of play used by teams which his own
eleven is scheduled to play, and then
impart the information to his own
players.
Almost all the larger schools and
colleges have adopted the scouting
system. Whenever a team of any
standing plays. it is practically as
sured that some rival on the gridiron
has at least one man versed in the
game present to pick up anything that
may help the said rival I'm the game

Now conditions have changed The
different teams have come to expect
that their rivals will have them watch

struct their quarters not TO use any
more variety of play than is needed to
win. At the big games, where it is
practically sure that a team will have
to use everything they have in order
to come out of the game with a vic
tory. five or six schools are liable to
have scouts present.
These scouts are not prone 10

Not long after their departure per-

The manager produced his pass key
and the brave followers prepared to

The steam was so thick in the room
that not a thing could be seen. One
look established that the vapor was
not smoke. When the travelled couple
got back to the hotel they found an
irate manager and a lot of soaked
frocks. The woman said she had
often taken the wrinkles out of dress

why the hot water was kept so very
hot anyhow, for goodness knew that
nobody wanted TO take a bath in boil.
