Gripping an American
Industry.

AuOuoGL y.
The cotton underwear and hos
iery manufacturers of Philadel.
phia comprise a very important
part of our industrial interests.
They are seriously imperiled by
the proposed tariff reductions.
The report of the Senate Com
mittee indicates a reduction be-
low the House schedule in manv
important grades, and an increase
of but % per cent in two or three
grades of minor impol tance. The
feeling is universal in the trade
that at the present rate of wages
1t will be impossible to meet for
elgn competition with a tariff as
low as proposed. Skilled opera
tors in this city earn from $3.50
to 81 SO per day. and unskilIed
labor, such as winders, knitters
and other general help. from
$3.50 to $l1 per week, which is
from SO to rs per cent more thar
is paid the same class of labor in
France, Germany and Spain.
The argument of greater eff
cheney and increased production
per man does not apply to any
extent in this industry, as the
production is dependent on the
accleration of the machine more
than on the efficiency of the la
borer; and the foreign mills have
facilities in this respect no whit
behind our own. When the fur
ther fact is borne in mind that
the cost of building and equip
ping a mill in Europe, on account
of cheaper labor and lower in
terest rates, is materially below
the investment necessary in this
country, the factor of overhead
charges is an important consid |
Grafton.
1t is estimated that from 48B
to 55 per cent of the cost of the
manufacture of these products is |
represented by the wages raid |
to American labor.
Reduce the tariff to 80 perl
cent and calculate the difference
in wages, interest, construction
and equipment, and it is clear
that the Philadelphia manufac-
turer must either reduce his wa
ges or shut uu shop if this disas-
trous reduction is maintained.
The favorite argument of the
radical in answer to this is the
survival of the fittest;;" IF we
cannot compete with the foreign
er, we have created an artificial
industry, and the public will get
the benefit of the lower prices of
foreign goods"
This does not apply; the rea-
son we cannot compete is because
our wages are higher. The con-
Sumer will scarcely get any ben-
pfit from the lower cost of for
eign hosiery or underwear. IF q
'ur mills close or curtail produc- y
ion. the importer, jobber. mid 9
lleman and retailer will be
wamped with foreign goods. but

be Justly cared for in the interest Of
the people at large. Many things can
be neglected, but not these.
We therefore commend unresorvedly
the actions of those representatives. of
the various State institutions who ap-
peared before the Senate and House ap.
preparations committees and presented
the needs Of those State activities. We
believe it can fairly be conceded that
the managers of those institutions arc
not asking anything extravagant, and
the Legislature will fail of its duty TO
the people ii i: does not do what is
right and in the interest of good ad-
ministration by sufficient appropria'
tions to keep the work in all these
institutions at high standard, and
not only scrviceable TO the people, but
striking out in advanced lines for
greater proficiency and moro thorough
service to the public.

and not against him; that where a
charge or impntation is laid against a
would-be immigrant the charge must be
aDhrmativcly proved, and that he Is
not obliged, as the immigration officials
held that he was, to prove his innocence
against their assumptions. It is, on the
contrary. their business to prove their
assumption against the legal prcsump'
ton Of his innocence. That is To say,
both Federal Judges in New York ap'
piled the proper legal rule in both OF
these cases, as against the illegal as
sumption of the immigration officials.

ference between bureaucracy in this

FROM THE COUNTY AUDITOR

We have from Mr.. c. r. Vigus, Coun-
~ Auditor. well-nade pamphlet show
ing the receipts ana expenditures and
assets and liabilities of Salt Lake
county, covering the year 1912. From
| this it appears that the county spent
on roads and bridges the past year
1927 .029.96. 1t spent on tho infirmary
hospital Si1S,51S.46. 1t spent on the
sheriff 5 office $37 ,36275. although
under the fee system the sheriff's Of
flee paid its own way and made the
two-tcrm incumbent of the office rich
The same reflection would apply to
other county offices as well.
The expenditure Of money for the
infirmary hospital was clear waste,
since there is no need whatever for
such a hospital, for all hospital cases
| could be better and more economically
treated in the hospitals In this city,
saying nothing Of the cost of the county
hospital. But the county commissioners
apparently thought that they had to
do something With the excess of money
that they collected from the Taxpayers,
and il does not seem to have occurred
to them that better relief would have
been TO decrease the tax levy. 1t will
DO interesting to see if the commits
sioncrs intend to keep mp the e1or-
bitant and needless tax levy when it
yields them so much more money than
thew know what to do with.

OPPOSE THE "UNscRAMBL1Na. u

II is curious 10 see the determined
opposition which is being made in Cali
forpia TO the "upscrambling of the
| Union Pacific and Southern Pacific in
tere.ts. The method OF disioining the
interests of the Union Pacific and the
lSouthern Pacific is in strict accord with
the ruling of the Supreme Court of the
United States, as construed by At.or-
pey- General Wickersham. 1t is difficult
TO see what real ground there is for the
opposition of California to the segregs-
tion as proposed, aud 70 the acquisition
BY the Union Pacific of the old Central
Pacific lines from Ogden TO San Frau
cisco.
The special point upon which the or

sion. denying the application OF the
Uuiou Pacific railway for long lease
Of tho Benicia cutoff between Oakland
and Sacramento. is based, is that such
lease would in effect be restraint of
trade as denying the Western Pacific
the use Of that cutof. This is pro
nouuced by Attorney General Wicker
sham to he merely local question
which will not IN any way affect gem
orally the plan for the dissolution Of the
Union Pacific and the Southern Pacific
merger. But if this is true, there would
appear TO be DO reason why California
should appear, as it does appear by coun-
sci, before the Circuit Court Of the
United States which is now in session
at ST. Louis hearing arguments upon
the presentation of the dissolution plan
consented to by Attorney General
Wickersham. We are inclined TO think
that the California interference goes
much farther than Mr. Wickersham con.
ccdes, for the opposition laid before
the Federal Circuit Court In this bear.
ing from California attacks tue whole
dissolution proposition. IL it were, in
fact, merely a local question, and re-
lated only to the use OF the Benicia cut
OF, then there would be no reason what.
ever for California appearing in st.
Louis before the L. S. Circuit Court in
opposition to the general plan Of disso-
luton.
In the ultimate disposition Of the
case it would seem to be a reasonable
proposition that the ownership of the
Benicia cutoff, which probably goes
with the Central Pacific ownership,
would determine its control and use.
In the meantime, the order and as
of the California Railroad
Commission, if it is mere local affair,
have no business before the Circuit
Court in st. Louis. But if it is a gen
eral opposition to the dissolution pro-
posed by the Government, based upon
a mere local point, such as the use of
the Benicia cutoff. or any other mere
point of local interest, there would not
appear to be sufficient foundation for
that appearance. Still, it is probably we'll
to raise the question before the Circuit
Court. so that when the court IS order
is made there will be included in it
determination of this local point, as
well as OF the general question. And
when that order is made, all concerned,
including the California Railroad Com
mission, will be bound to obey

AMUSING OCCULTISM.

The most conspicuous instance Of oc.
cult science recently made known must
be distinctly disappointing to Presi-
dent james Fl. Hyslop, president of the
Society Of Psychical Research in Amer
ica. In fact, that result is so abb.
surd that the more reputable of the
psychical researchers are very 10th to
say anything about it.
The matter arose IL this way: Pro-
fessor William James of Harvard Uni
versity was great friend Of President
Hyslop, and promised him that if be
died before Hyslop did, and there was
any possible means for him to com
mupicate with Hyslop he would send
him a message. For some time after
Professor James's death there was
nothing heard, and the earnest re-
sesrchers waited eagerly for a sign,
which did not appear. But recently
it was announced that there had been
message from Professor James, and
as usual it came through "medium. -
President Hyslop naturally expected
that there would be in this message
from his friend, Professor James, some
thing that would tell about the other
world, about the conditions Of spirit
life, and how manifestations more di-
rect and certain than any hitherto re-
ceived might possibly be communicated.
otherwise than by medium. But this
so-called message was transmitted in
the same old way, through a "me-
about what was expected. On the con-
trary, it was plea TO President
Hyslop to write an article opposing
woman suffrage; but, fearing that
President Hyslop might be over-in-
fueDced through his domestic relations,
a warning accompanied the message
that he must hide from his wife the
article be was urged to write!
And thus is dissipated in an atmos.
phere Of ribaldry the tense attitude Of
many of the psychical researchers. the
occult dreamers, with respect to their
waiting i message from Professor
James, The promise TO communicate
was so earnest, was so much in the ma
turc of what was supposed 10 be scien-
tihc investigation and satisfaction, that
great hopes were placed upon the com
mupication that President Hyslop was
10 receive from mis- friend James, and
the attitude OF the researchers, SO
earnest, so devoted. so expectant, led
good many to hope that there
might be some means whereby the ex-
pectations Of the devoted few might
result in something tangible; but the
whole matter is now made laughing
stock by the ridiculous nature Of the
Communication and the silly warning e
against letting President Hyslop's wife
sec what be was 20 write against
woman suffrage. And so, As often is
| the case. the outcome Of this whole
matter sis 10 laugh.

THE CASE OF MYLIUS.

The public is quite familiar with
the case of Cipriapo Castro, former
dictator Of Venezuela, who undertook
to visit this country and was held up
at the port of entry by the immigration
oflcials. The curious rulings that were
made by the immigration officials and
then by Secretary Nagcl, in his case,
TO the effect that refusal to answer
what Castro held to be impertinent and
irrelevant questions was a confession
of guilt, we're swept away by Judge
Ward of the L. S. District Court, and
Castro was released aud set at liberty
to go where he will within the United
States.
Another case that has similar points
to that of Castro, was that of Edouard
+. Mylius, who was held up at Ellis
Island on the plea that as he had
served Jail sentence for libefng King
George of Great Britain, be was guilty
OF moral turpitude and therefore to be
excluded under our immigration laws,
The case against Mylius was that be
had circulated in England copies of the
Liberator, paper printed in Paris,
which charged that King George had
been married morganatically to WON.
aD whose name was given. before be
married Princess Mary Of Teck, who is
now his Queen. Mvlius was charged
with criminal libel in England for cir
culsting that paper, convicted, and was
sentenced 10 a term in Jail. Secretary
Nacel affirmed the decision Of the i'm
migration officials at New York which
excluded Mylius. the exclusion being
based upon the conviction of Mylius as
stated, his offense being assumed to be
a crime and 10 afix upon him the
charge OF moral turpitude. Against this
ruling Mylius appealed. and Judge
Walter c. Noyes of the Second L. ;
Judicial Circuit, makes ruling iu con
sonsnce with that Of Judge Ward
in the Castro case. Judge Noyes order.
the release OF Mylius from Ellis Island
whore he bad been detained. and hi:
admission into the United states. or
the ground that criminal libel does not
in its inherent nature involve mora
turpitude. and that unless moral turpi
,ude is inherent in crime. the immi
grafton officials caDpot exclude a mar
who has been convicted Of that crime
ard ne holds therefore that the immi
grafton officials have no rig6t to set "
their own ideas Of moral turpitude as Z
standard.
Judge Noyes's ruling in this ease
simply gets back 10 legal standards
