HEARST PICKS FLAWS
IN WILSON'S PLATFORM
Does Not Believe American
People Will Approve His
Tariff Views.

LONDON, September 13-William r.
Hearst has written for the Express his
views on American political conditions,
and In his article pays his respects to
Woodrow Wilson in the following words:
You people in England are ardent ad-
mirers of Mr.. Wilson because of his free
trade views and because they think that
the policy Of free trade on the part of
the United States will benefit England.
do not think that policy of free trade
Wilson's Position Criticised.
81 do not approve of Mr.. Wilson policy
Of a tariff for revenue only, nor do l
think that he improves his position when
he declares in support of gradual reduc-
ton Of the tariff. A gradual reduction
Of the tariff means continual re-
duction Of the tariff, and the continual
disturbance Of the tariff means continual
disturbance of business.
''Mr. Wilson must not be like the dog
in Aesops fables who let go the bone
that he actually had in order to grasp
at the reflection in the water. If we sac
rifice any advantage that We actually
have we must be sure that We are going
to get corresponding advantage in re-
turn, and IL we should sacrifice inju-
diciously our protective policy We should
find our markets open to the products of
all the nations of the world and their
markets still closed to the products of
our own nation.
MIR. Wilson also disapproves of Ameri-
can business men and considers them
ignorant and provincial I am al
most disposed irritably to contradict this
statement of Mr.. Wilson.
Mr.. Wilson's dogmatic and didactic
declarations have all the postiveness of
the pedagogue who has theories on every
thing and experience in nothing. His is
the customary attitude of the college pro-
fessor who knows everything. having
read it in books, where it was written
down by other college professors with
equally infallible knowledge based on
equally universal inexperience.
Professor" Lectures on Business.
1T is an interesting thing to see a COL
lege professor 1ecturing practical bust
ness men on the practical problems of
business from the musty rooms Of one of
the colleges which the practical success
Of these business men had enabled them
to endow.
1T must also be an interesting thing to
Englishmen to note that America is con-
sfdering the advisabiity of embarking on
a free trade policy, which England Is
considering the advisability of abandon
ing.
This paradoxical situation is due to
the fact that England has had to her
sorrow some experience with a free trade
policy, while American statesmen are
educated in the books of theoretical Eng
lish economists which We're written be-
fore the free trade theory had oppor-
tunity of practical experiment and refu-
tation.
Il do not wonder that Englishmen are
interested in this phase of American poll
tics, but 1 think that the sound sense OF
American citizens will prevent any for
eign country being 'unduly benefited at
our expense by the hasty application of
the undigested theories of some of our
well meaning but inexperienced states
men,"

The Walking Habit.
rom the Pittsburgh Gazette-Times.

From the Pittsburgh GaZette-Times.
Two young women are reported to have
walked home from a vacation resort up
state "as a joke. The distance was
eighteen miles. and the pedestrians re-
ported at their homes tired but telling
fine" The incident Is valuable particu-
larly as calling fresh attention to the ad-
vantages of walking as a means of eXer-
else. What these young women did as a
joke, to a limited extent, might be done
prOfitably by nine-tenths of city dwellers
with great good and enlarged degree of
health and physical soundness. 1t is only
repeating what has been said often before
that people who live and work In the city
walk too little. and that many of the ills
of life grow out of a disinclination to exer-
else this helpful method of locomotion
With increasing invention in the field o.
transportation walking is growing less
and less popular. Street cars, automo-
biles, motor cycles and even the strenu-
Gus bicycle may be found at ones con-
venience as a daily substitute for the
homely, natural old method Of walking.
Physicians tell us that as a result the
atrophying process in mans organic
structure has gained wonderful headway
In all our cities. There is really no SUBJ
stitute for walking as a means OF helpful
exercise. No other system Of physical
culture calls into play under such stimu-
lating conditions the various organs and
muscles of the human body. Persons
whose daily duties require them to re-
main seated or standing indoors all day
should profit by the example Of the re-
returning vacationists alluded to. Get out
and walk little every day! II only for
a few miles, the results will be quickly
beneficial. OF course walking in the open
country is preferable. and the early morn
ing ami evening hours are best but II
these things cannot be combined. walk
In the city and give the cramped limbs
and muscles a chance to expand and
allow the blood circulation to become
uniform!
