Having Its Fling.

St. Louis Times: The description of
young women climbing down a fire
escape, after being discovered in the
act of organizing union to further
their interests as telephone exchange
employees, is not quite as significant in
it's industrial aspects as it is in other
ways.
Formerly the escapades of youth had
to do with recreation and social inter.
course. " .- ..
But today youth has its fling in the
channels Of labor-which is somehow
contrary to our best ideals as to the
proper way of making happy and use
full men and women Of those who are
still young.
The young women who figured in
last nights effort to form union have
been described as being. in many

Press Comment.
TARIFF RESPONSIBILITY FIXED.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: AS a repub-
lican newspaper, The HaWk-Eye re-
joices that, as long as the country has
to be afflicted with democratic
tariff, the democrats have framed 1t
and put it through just as they want
1T. The responsibility is now clearly
and definitely fixed. There was d.
vided responsibility as to the Wilson
German tariff act Of 1894. That was
Justly called "a mongrel tariff" was
partly>free trade and partly protective.
President Cleveland was go disguised
with the mix-up that he refused to
sign the bill and it became a law with
out his signature.
This later Wilson tariff"-for the
president is the main push" OF the
pending BILLS distinctly anti-protec-
ton. It is free trade in principle and
in detail as far as 1t was possible to
make it without sacrificing too much
revenue.
The Hawk-Eye is also glad the re-
publicans fought it at every step; LAT
they tried to draw some Of it's fangs
by amendments. Their efforts were
in vain in every instance. President
Wilson insisted upon the measure In
all it's various features. He believes
in free trade. He was educated in that
school of political economy. He is I'M
doubtedly honest in his belief; as hon
est and sincere in his theories as he Is
impra cticable in the application OF a
tariff to serve the best interests OF
the government and of the people OF
the United States. . ..
Thus the issues will be suuarely
drawn. There can be no mitigatory
pleas in behalf of this bill. 1t Is what
it is-a free trade tariff-for-revenue
measure, distinctly so. and the
cannot escape direct responsibility.
statute book The country will have a
clear-cut object lesson in its effect up
on the industries. trade and commerce
and upon the wages of labor, the pro-
ducts of the farm, and the general
prosperity. 1t is we'll that it shall be
so. if the experience is necessary to a
clearer understanding of national
policies.
