Necessities and the Tariff.

THE overbalancing burden of DEM
oeratle argument is based on the
false position that there is tariff on
all necessities. From Woodrow Will
son down they seem TO have framed
their clafms on that assumption-Mr.
Wilson. as he has frankly admitted
on several occasions. because he did
rot know and had not taken the trou-
BILE 10 study tariff schedules; and some
others who purposeiy misstate to de-
ceive.
In some mysterious and unexplained
way. according to the Democratic ar
gument, a change" in the govern
rnent-otherwise the reversal of the
protection system in tariffs-would re-
duce the cost of living and especially
would reduce the cost of foodstuffs

The 'incomparably secure position" is
the net infirmity of the superannuotee

The position" of this country may
have been comparably secure in the
period of caravels and galleons. But

Spooning as a Fine Art.
(Poston GlObe)


Spooning. by which is meant that
form of affection described by the
sage Noah Webster as acting with
administrative or foolish fondness,
has been placed upon a solid and re-
sponsible basis in the Lynn High
School. Books on etiquette for the
Young usually deprecate speoning, or
omit to mention it ut all. but in this
high school boys and girls who de-
sire to spoon have merely to get per-
NIT from their parents
To be more explicit, the principal
of the school, observing some mushy
scenes in the corridors of the build
ing. recently announced that pubic
lovemaking must stop: but he added
that pupils desiring TO spoon must
bring a written permission from theif
parents. Spooning thus is reduced 10
a practical working basis. II you pro-
duee the parental permit. presumably
you may spoon.
So girls who like spooning, and EVIL
IDENTIFY there are some in Lynn VINO 90
must produce their permit after TINS
week or go unloyed. Mama, you
haven't made me out spooning per
nit vet" may he heard in the homes
of Mary. Margaret and Estelle, Whie
, in another part of the city, Paul, H.
ry and Oswald are saying Pa gus
sign this spooning permit, before you

When the permits are issued ana

will be an opportunity for ORGANIZED

Lacks Practical knowIedae.

Says the Labor World: do not let
it for a moment be imagined that
anything like prejudice prompts these
charges; of lack of practical knowledge
against DR. Wilson. There are abso-
lutte facts at hand proving that he is
not only q mere theorist. but that as
a classroom hatitue and college elois-
ter professor he is devoid of even the
rudimentary knowledge necessary for
a president of the United States. He
also endeaYors to atone for his con-
spieuous lack of practical knowledge by
preaching rank sophistry and decep-
ton For instance in his Scranton
speech he made the following remark
able statement:
-. You know that by the action of q
Democratic House only two years ago
the Bureau of Mines and Mining was
fully equipped to ACT as foster faith
err of the miners of the United States
and 60 go into these so-called private
properties and see that the lives of
human beings We're just as much safe
guarded as they would be on the
streets of Scranton.
There is not a sixth grade school
boy IN the land who would have made
such egregious false statement. The
fact is there was no Democratic House
two years ago. The Democratic House
did not start its term until March t.,
1911, and did not meet in session until
a month later. IT is now an admitted
fact of history that the establishment
of the Bureau of Mines-not the Bu-
reau of Mines and Mining as Dr.
Wilson calls twas one of the great
achievements of President Taft's adj
ministration. 1t was 81 thorough Re-
publican measure and was introduced
by a Republican, fought for by Repub7
licans ard passed by Republican III
the House and also in the Senate
This was i'm the Sixtyfrst Congress
and not in the Sixty -second. The Blu
reau was created on July /, 1910. 30
much Tor the buncumbe that DR.. Will
son tries to inilict on the wage work

of thu land will be able to see through
this university experiment in politics.
What he needs is a practical man and
not a man reared amid the environ
ments of aristocrats and who has spent
his entire life in seelusion with his
head bent over books or urging the
sons Of the wealthy to hate the trade
unions"
A month ago the Kennebec journal

that the tariff walt' prevents oul
buying necessities abroad.
But the custom house returns show
that our imports of foodstuffs and food

seven months of 1911 were only $SS, 900, =
000, and for the corresponding months
of 1910 were S62o0O,O00.
In other words we are buying more
and more necessities abroad and
bringing them in free. The Democra-
tic pretense that there is tariff on
all necessities, is one of the political
traditions that has no foundation in
fact Democratic orators and Demo-
cratic writer's regard goods of the val
ne of S117000,O00 imported in seven
months as of no particular impor-
lance, and so forget te mention them
in describing the tariff wall" We
bring these goods in free because they
are necessities and because they are not
produced in competition with similar
domestic products.
Also we bring in crude materials for
use in manufacturing. OF these wei
brought in, free of duty. during the
first seven months of this year $2s4.-
000. 300 worth. In addition we brought !
in manufactured goods, free of duty, |
of the character that are not produced
in this country, to the value of $46,-
coo, OO0.
The aggregate of our duty-free i'm
ports of all kinds for the seven months
ending with July was $549, 2s5,S94 Last
year the duty-free imports for the cor
responding period Were SAB, $50, 500. |
Half a billion dollars worth free i'm
ports in seven-t weifths OF the year is
something the Democrats seem to
overlook entirely.
The tariff does not prevent our buy
ing abroad necessities that need no
protection. 1t does erect protection
about American industries to prevent
our wage scales and our standards of
living being reduced to those of the
close packed European manufacturing
districts. Todayis nationwide pros
perity demonstrates the wisdom of
this policy

mend the action and the fair and

that it is for the city's best interests
to allow this matter of a new fire sta
ton to go over for another year.
AS to the location of a new fire sta

that should be decided only after

has had the frankness TO express his

immaterial; but we object to the lit.

arraigned on a serious charge. Should
he be. the copy of his editorial which
we have placed on file would be as
convincing of his crankiness as are the
writings of Sehrank which are COM
ing to light.
Perhaps he will think this was pre-
pared by some reptile capitalist news
agency in New York" and was writ
ten ahead of the" receipt of the letter
of our Sanford friend" which camo
to hand half hour ago That would
be quite as reasonable as other of his
- But this same blind passion, intoler-
ance, unfounded suspicion, unbiased
of everyone who does not
fall down and worship with them al
the shrine of wipe out everything
that opposes us and then wipe out
each other" is the secret of general
disgust at those who try to drive
few good fundamental ideas down the
throat of humanity with a tamping-
rod of abuse and a mallet of untem-
pered bigotry.
Schrank may not have been an
arehist, socialist or any other list. He
may have been only the victim of his
own evil traffic as bar tender; or he |
NAV have been an editor out of job, |
but it is evident that his poor weak
BRAIN cells had been built up by ac-
ceptance of the doctrine as true that
any one who opposed him and his de-
sires was unfit to live. 1t is the same
doctrine that animates mobs while |
under the spell of professional agita-
tors; the same that defies courts and
threatens cities, if their tools are re-
strained as are other malefaetors.
That is the spirit and the doctrine
we oppose. It is the secret and con-
slant spread of it that is undermining
respect for courts and law, and is a
menace to common liberty and our
free institutions The very fabric OF
is threatened by intolerant
high binders who have neither love for
fellow man nor reverence Tor
God; and we believe the day is at hand
when there will be an oVer-tufnlns
that will everlastingly place those as
SUCH these dastardly assailants OF
humanity who constantly pose as ana
whine like whipped cur for the SYM
pathy due to martyrdom.
