TWO SIDES TO CASE
Does All New England Demand
High Protective Tariff
Rather Hard for the Average Person
to See How It Has Greatly Bene-
flied Workers, According to
Recent Happenings.

Senator Gallinger OF New Hamp-
shire arose in his place the other day
and with impassioned eloquence de-
clared that New England demands a
high protective tariff-the Aldrich tar
IN, for choice. After saying this at
much length and in as many different
ways a. he could phrase 1t, the sena-
tor from New Hampshire sat down,
apparently thinking the matter all set
tied. What New England wanted, that
she must have.
Passing the vicious idea that New
England or any other section of coun-
try has right to be supported at ma
tional expense, the Journal challenges
Mr.. Gallinger's first proposition. The
Journal has yet to see convincing evil
dence that the people OF New Eng
land are In love with the Aldrich tar
IN. Magnates who have been draw
ing sc per cent. annual dividends on
mill stock doubtless think that tariff
masterpiece of craftsmanship; but
what about the people whose work
and wages help to pay those divi-
dends?
What Of the Lawrence strikers-95
per cent. of them foreign born and
imported free Of duty-who had to
fight for months to get their wages
raised to living rate, and who found
the whole force of tariff-controlled
local government turned against
them? Are they such enthusiastic ad-
vocates of protection"
What of New England cotton mill
workers, with an average wage Of
$43S per year! Are they champions
Of the Aldrich schedules?
What of New England wooden mill
workers, who sell their labor In a
free trade market for an average
wage Of $444 per year, and who buy
wooden goods-if at all-in a market
protected" by tariff graft averag-
ing about 100 per cent! Do they
swear by the present tariff, or swear
at it?-Chicago Journal.

HADN'T TOLD ANY UNTRUTH
coIored Witness Simply Stated Fact,
Though It Was Not tho Informs-
JtIon Desired.

In 81. Louis stout colored woman,
apparently about forty years old, was
called as a witness in an assault case
before police judge. She said; IL
am eighty-four and l live down near
the river, and this is what saw when
the fight took place"
She then gave her account of the
assault.
On cross-eIamination the attorney
for the defense asked her when and
where she was born, and she replied
Right here in st. Louis, in July,

umphant tone, what do you mean

A Springfield man, replying to his
wife's petition for divorce, says: DE

and more extensive vocabulary than

her feelings that she could readily
pass from storm to sunshine, from
abuse to tears, from harsh language

your readers to have your ideas as to
how the American merchant marine
may be successfully developed"
In the Journals opinion the chief
need of the American merchant ma
rine is fair play and chance to
grow. The tariff levies toll on mate
rails used in ship building; which
adds to the cost OF American-built

few exceptions. are denied American

bounties have turned the attention Of
American capital to manufacturing,

Narrowness out Of Place.

Doubtless there are many democratic
senators who would be glad to see the
tariff bill changed in some particulars,
but they have taken broad view OF
the subject and have seen that In no
other way than by compromise among
local interests could an act be passed
which would measure up to the prom
ises which the party made.

Woodrow Wilson is not the boss,
but the real leader Of his party. 1t is
no slavish Difference that leads Dem
ocrats. whether In or out OF congress,
to want to know his views. What we
have is the recognition Of the power
full, but wholly legitimate influence
of the new Democratic leader. The
willingness, and oven eagerness, on
the part of Democrats to accept such
leadership are most encouraging
signs. Mr.. Wilson, too. has shown

Tourists flocked to the canal zone
In such increasing numbers that the
Panama Railway company-whlch
means the United States government
decided to erect a new Washington
hotel In Colon to supplant the old hos
telry of that name. The architect de-
signed a handsome four-story struc-
ture of concrete and, to take full ad-
vantage of the cool breezes from the
Atlantic, provided IN his plans for a
large roof garden and two dumb wait
ers running up to it. The builders made
the roof all right, and put in the dumb
walters, but when the hotel was near
ing completion some one discovered
there was no opening in the roof for
the aforesaid dumb walters. The nee
essary changes would cost several hun
dred dollars, and the government Of
fetal who passed upon the expendi-
lures decided against making them as
the hotel already had cost more than
had been expected. Consequently
those two dumb walters run up to the
ceiling of the fourth story and there
stop, while the roof garden, having no
service, remains unopened.

since, and the man who engineered
the purchase of Moro is wondering
who got the best Of 1t.
Panama City's water supply is de-
rived from the Rio Grande reservoir,
little lake quite close to the canal
For obvious reasons bathing or wad-
ing In 1t is forbidden, and all around it
are signs stating that fact. Recently
the wife of a member of the canal
commission was entertaining friends
from the states, and In the course of
their wanderings one day they came
upon the reservoir. They were tired
and dusty and the cool water looked
so inviting that they all took off their
shoes and stockings and went in wad.

the efficient zone policemen came upon
them and arrested the whole party.
They were taken before the nearest
magistrate. and despite the pleading
of the commissioner, who had been
hastily called to the rescue, each one
was compelled to pay fine and listen
to sharp lecture on law-breaking and
sanitation.

Speaking Of the blasting reminds me
that one of the very high up engineers
on the canal job is exceedingly afraid
Of dynamite. He is also a strict dis
ciplinarian and does not allow the
workmen to loaf. Whenever one OF
the frequent dolby shots" or small
blasts is to be fired, the nearest steam
shovel emits a series OF short, quick
toots and the men scurry to cover. AS
soon as Mr. Engineer appears in the
cut to see that the laborers are losing
no time, the warning whistles are
heard from steam shovels all along the
way and he speedily returns to his of-
fee on the hill, leaving the unprodded
workmen to resume their leisurely
gait.

The Isthmus Of Panama does not
belong to the English, never did, and
there are not many real Englishmen
there. Yet the presence of a large
number OF British subjects-the ia
maican negroes-has forced on the in
habitants an English custom, that of
vehicles taking the left side OF the
road. Probably this is due to the fact
that most of the cab drivers are ia
maicans. All the people OF that island
are intensely proud OF being subjects
OF King George, and they are tenacious
of such British customs as they know.
