Stranded Actors and the Cause.

The report that there are 1900 &C
tors and actresses stranded in Chicago
does not mean. necessarily. that the
theatrical profession is being over
crowded. So observes the st. Louis
Times. A very large majority OF
players OF recognized standing are
hard at work; II they could be in two
places at once, there would still be
work for them TO do. Even the more
meritorious OF the obscure performers
are safely placed. OF course, there are
a few people with talent TO sell who
have trouble in finding a manager who
needs them, but this is the case every
season.
The truth appears to be that the
inflated popularity OF the musical COM
edy in all parts OF the United States
for nearly q decade has brought into
the profession, or TO the outskirts of
the profession, hundreds of people
who have made their living on the
stage for q few seasons, but who very
certainly are not actors or actresses.
They were trained TO take a part in
the pictures which constituted a good

Comment From Capital

Wickersham. The president advises
the European nations to the customs
court of appeals, which, it is declared,
is only a subterfuge.
YET COMEDIES JUSTICE.
President Taft has declared he is
willing to concede the justice of de-
mands for cheaper paper, but when
the opportunity offers, his act refutes
his words and promises and shows
that he is against giving even the
slightest concession to free trade.
The tariff on print paper is to all
practical ends a tax on intelligence,
because in this day and age the great
mass of the people receive their edu-
cation on public questions through the
newspapers. With print paper practi.
cally controlled by a trust, the price
has been Systematically boosted, so as
to work hardship on the prosperous
publishers, and to make print paper
nigh on to prohibitive to many OF
the small country publishers, whose
earnings are not any too great at best
BILL WORTH NOTHING.
Meanwhile there is pending a bill
introduced by Senator Hepburn, which
proposes to repeal the Canadian reel
procity act. Having been rejected by
Canada, the law is dead without be
ing repealed. But if the act is repealed
the live added section providing fol
f,,,, -,
also be repealed, and the old tax or
paper even from Canada would be
restored.
Since the tax on Canadian print pa
per and wood pulp has been repealed
more than so independent paper com
panies have started up in opposition
to the trust, which fact explains tn,
reason of the joker in the "HeyburI
Irepealer."

BY CLYDE II. TAVENNER.

Especial Correspondence of The Argus.)
Washington, Jan. president Taft
has just taken an action which is
worth millions of dollars to the paper
trust, by refusing to permit the free
entry of print paper ana wood pulp
from Germany, Sweden and other
countries justly entitled to that con-
cession.
When the reciprocity bill was pass
ed a provision was tackled to it pro-
viding for the free admission of print
paper and wood pulp from Canada.
1t was so arranged that this provision
became law whether the reciprocity
act was agreed to by Canada or not.
Therefore print paper and wood pulp
are now admitted free from Canada.
MADE STRONG ARGUMENT.
AS soon as this provision became a
law, Germany, Sweden and other
countries asked to be allowed to also
send print paper and wood pulp into
the United States free of duty.
I'VE have treaties with you," de-
clared these nations to the United
States, Providing that you are to ex-
tend the same concessions to us that
you extend to any other nation. There
fore, since you allow Canada to send
in these articles free of duty, we,
under the most favored nations clause,
are justly entitled to the same rights.
Obviously, this argument is I'm.
answerable.
However, the president has just an.
nounced, through the treasury depart.
ment, that duties will be collected as
heretofore on all print paper imported
from any other country than Canada
The announcement was made after
Mr.. Taft had consulted with Secretary
of State Knox and Attorney Genera

What would you advise me to do?
WAITING.
1t is your duty to make the most
of your life and if you will be hap
pier in the fields of a great colony
than you are likely to be cooped up
in a factory, you should start with
out delay. No one succeeds in a
place where he works under a con-
slant sense of wrong. Go speedily
to that part of the world where
your energy and enterprise are more
likely to be rewarded than here.

Protection and Immigration.

Protection and immigration.
High protectionists always address
their appeals to farmers and working
men. High tariff. they argue,
means high prices for farm products
and high wages for the workers"
Last year $4,000 American farmers
all of whom were supposed to be en-
joying the fruits of high tariff, left
this country and went to Canada. In
the same period approximately a mil
lion laborers came to this country
from abroad, 81 per cent of them COM
ing from the south of Europe, where
wages are low, education almost moth
ing, and standards of living primitive
and filthy. These laborers are taken
in by the trusts at wages but little
better than they get at home, and
under conditions OF employment I'M
thinkable to American workingmen.
Thus the high tariff drives out good
American farmers, and brings in
what?

In an Inevitable Position.

United States Senator Robert La

Illinois. may be making a courageous
fight for certain fundamental princi-
pies, and one may admire him for his
enthusiastic advocacy of the initia-
tive. referendum. recall and the direct
election OF United States senators,
but while he is around lambasting
Taft and Roosevelt he is placing him
self in Al rather unenviable position
from a partisan point OF view. Per-
haps he has decided to hue to the
line and let the chips fall where they
may, but what's he going 70 do after
the republican party dominates Taft
or Roosevelt?
LaFollette cannot be nominated.
The convention will be dominated by
the special interests. So, after the
convention, LaFollette will probably
find himself supporting those very IN
terests which he is now so vigorously
opposing in his pre-convention cam.
paign.
That is what makes his campaign
seem inconsistent. IL is a situation
which explodes his theory that the re.
publican party is better and surer
agency for the application OF demo.
cratic principles than the democratic
party.
Senator LaFollette had better come
over to the democratic party where
he will find less opposition from the
special interests and where his ef
forts to promote democratic principles
will be more effective.

Humor and
Philosophy
~ DUNCAN ~. SMITH
MODIFYING.

A sweet sixteen a girl is not
A creature any one can please.
She has her grand ideas formed
And man in large perspective sees.
His hair must be exactly so;
His necktie must be warm and straight.
She doesn't think about the cash.
That comes in at a later date.
At twenty as she comes along
Her taste is somewhat modified
She wants a poet or a man
Who to the wheel Of art is tied.
An actor of the tragic sort
Attracts her as he stalks the stage
A man who's reckless with car
With her is something of a rage
At twenty-five she settles down
And in her mind begins to plan
To capture, If he comes her way,
good, substantial business man.
A lawyer with a finished front
Perhaps might win her eye and heart,
Or she might take doctor in
If he could show he had a start.
At thirty, then 1t is case
OF reason and OF so much per
She wants a man to pay the bills
And one who will be good to her
Not any dub who comes along
With sweet. romantic eyes will do.
She's after substance, coupled with
manly heart that's warm and true.
