High Protection Logic

To illustrate typical high protection logic,
Mark Sullivan has plucked the following from the
Congressional Record and placed it exhibition
in his very valuable page in Golfers Weekly
Senator Hitchcock should like ask Senator
whether it is not fact that export about ten
times much furniture import?
Senator Smith of Michigan-Oh, Mr.. President
Senator Hitchcock-Will the Senator kindly answer
the question?
furniture workers crowded the foreign manufac
petition in almost every country in the world.
Senator Hitchcock-Then | should like ask the
Senator if are selling say, six million dol
lars worth of furniture made in America in other
tries why is it maintain the high
tariff of 35 per cent?
Sullivan, in commenting this little pass
age-at-arms informs us that Smith was finally
forced into the admission: 81 not pleading for
any duty furniture at ALL
The senator from Michigan then stated he
was merely arguing for the general principle of
protection, sadly exclaiming that the policy of
tariff revision downward would spell ruination
for the working classes, and, in consequence, the
workers would be unable to buy furniture.
The posing of the high protectionists as the
only champions of the masses and their she'd
ding of crocodile tears is the most amusing dis
play of hypocrisy witnessed in the senate for
many years.

The Richmond Spirit

A young colored violinist residing in Rich
mond is believed to be genius but he is also too
poor to develop his talents, obstacle which has
all too often thwarted the ambitions of gifted
men and women, turning their lives into the
channels of mediocrity and robbing the world of
masters in the fine arts.
However, this talented coored youth who has
aroused Richmond's interest by the magic touch
of his bow to violin strings, is to have his chance
This young man, leslie Howard, is to receive
expert training in his art at the expense Of a
walk of life. This made possible at bene-
fit concert last evening. Every who attend
ed contributed something to the educational fund
for this young negro, so the dream poverty had
threatened to deny him is to come true.
The unselfish interest evidenced by Richmond
people in leslie Howard is splendid and unus-
ual display of community spirit, public recogni-
ton of the finer things in life and step out of
the squalid narrow surroundings of every day
existence.
AS illustration that the kindly interest
shown by Richmond in one of it's talented sons is
unusual Munce, Indiana, furnishes typical ex-
ample. In that city for years lived one of the
worlds greatest singers, but following the Amer
lean policy of "let every shift for himself"
Muncie people refused to help their gifted towns
man onto the highway which leads to success,
and he probably would still be cab-driver today
had he not been "discovered' by great artist,
who recognized his divine gift and gave him prac-
tical assistance to lift him from obscurity.

peril yarns the Gotham newspapers have been
feeding their public do not impart the useful and
highly interesting information that it would not
have been necessary for Osaka to spy upon the
defenses at Governors Island or any other point
by swimming about the harbor
All Osaka would have had to do to obtain infor-
nation concerning any American fort would have
been to walk calmly into one; gaze about to his
hearts content and find out everything he needed
to know.
However, if the New York newspapers had
published this fact it would have ruined their
very interesting and accurate accounts of the cap
ture of the cooe, who probably fell overheard or
was kicked off some vessel.

qualified endorsement of that institu-
ton was TO be expected. in reply To
the question. What good is the Church
10 the worlde' Not one unkind criti-
cism or weak endorsement of the
Church was received. Appreciation of
the Church was comprehensively and
startlinsly eNprest. Witness the follow
ing: The Church stands first in the
worlds institutions for the good Of
mankind in every relationship OF life:
the Church is the foundation of civil
iEation, and does great good: the world
would be lost without churches: with
out the moral teachings of the Church

Two impressions are made upon
the propounder of the questions. One
is that men are interested. as much as

the great religious questions regarding
life and destiny. The other is that new

greater opportunity, for ministers TO

Christianity. Men are hungrily seeking
for true guidance in things spiritual.
This is the age for ministers with a

attempt to blame his building for fall
ing down. because of inherent weak
ness caused probably by faulty de-
sign"
Immortality seemed a perplexing
problem TO many and one concerning
which they were in grave doubt As
we read:
The replies received contained va
ried and emphatic views, such as.
There is no future life, when We die
that is the end; our immortality comes
in the lives of our descendants-in the
solidarity and continuance of the race:
the good exist after physical death.
the evil perish: this life is only a
stage in human development: the next
is progressive life; in the next world
lives are graded.
Regarding providential interest in
and interpretation for humanity, the
prevailing attitudes revealed in the re
plies indicated pathetic desire and
profound doubt. Asked is God inter
ested in. and does he care about mans
everyday life and experiences? some
wrote, 1 wish | knew; so many in the
past trusted false gods that were moth
ing at all; how can We tell?' There Is
too much suffering TO believe that; l
do not believe so, but such a faith
would make one very happy; then
life's SORROWS could be laid on the
shoulder OF God or at least shared
with him The problem whether God
is a person or impersonal law robbed
some of comforting faith in providen-
tial oversight One said, l can not rec
oncile personal supervision of individ-
ual affairs to my conception of law:
while another wrote. God is not a per-
son, so can not be personally inter
ested."
The supreme surpriZe of the replies
says this minister. lay in the attitude
of these prominent business men to-
ward the Church:

and elsewhere regarding the alleged

A Better Argument Needed

The announcement that President Wilson has
decided to nominate Meredith Nicholson, the we'll
known Indiana novelist, minister to Portugal
has brought forth deafening clamor of protest
from the Democratic politicians, which is very
good reason why the president should stand pat
on his decision to place such we'll qualified man
in the diplomatic service.
The pie-hunting ward heelers who object
ing to the Nicholson appointment lay much stress
on the fact that Mr.. Nicholson has not always
been regular" in his affiliation with the Demo-
cratic party, having bolted at one time because
he could not support Mr.. Bryan's presidential
candidacy. This protest however, recalls to mind
that spicy letter which Mr. Wilson once wrote ex-
pressing the hope that Organism would be
knocked into a cooked hat. so it will undoubted-
ly have very little influence at the white house.

CONSOLATION
Nv Z c Flint

What if my life cast in barren ways,
Between brick walls, where flowers do not grow
Where golden fields of corn wave not nor glow
And cold unfriendly faces meet my gaze
There still trees in London: in the maze
OF noisy streets l meet them as go,
Detected and bewildered, to and fro,
And my heart leaps and with rejoicing says:
Still have golden books where men have limned
The flowers of their spirit and it's songs
Birds singing in the branches of my mind;
And, o my love, your image is undmmed
While Ginning in my soul like silver songs
Your voice and laughter through it's silence wind

With this conviction in mind a Toledo
minister sent out list of questions to
120 of the most prominent business
men of this city and requested per
mission ito enter the citadel of mind
and soul, and take therefrom the
deepest and most honest thoughts con-
corning religious subjects" The in
quirer, Rev. George R. Wallace, tells
in The Advance" (Chicago) the re-
suits of his investigation, and first OF
all mentions the willingness of the
men addrest to discuss their beliefs"
The "promptness, frankness, and
earnestness of the replies" he says
were pleasantly surprizing." But be-
sides this, he declares that in marked
evidence were the pathetic yearning
for sufficient faith, the diversity OF
beliefs, the startling denials of doc
trines commonly cherished by the
Church, with the deep and serious
thought evidently given the subject"
The replies are comprest under sew
eral heads:
Regarding the existence of God
there seemed practical unanimity that
God exists. Regarding his nature most
believed not in his personality; God,
to them, is a supernatural first cause,
the uncaused cause of all existence;

thing as creator and preserver, but
also as Our Father; those holding
this belief were comparatively few.

and the relation of deity to humanity

the limited conception of some, while
others considered the purpose of hui
man life to be the eNemplification of
the highest form of creative existence.
Many looked upon such existence as
an inevitable necessity, the product OF
the laws of evolution. The theory of
the divinity of man seemed TO grip
many, one expressing this belief by
saying. AS the acorn has in it all the
possibilities OF the oak tree from
which it came, so man has in him all
the possibilities of God who begat

The changed belief regarding NOR
al obligation from the clear-cut and
definite faith of our Puritan ancestors
was startlingly and overwhelmingly in
evidence. To the question, is man NOR
ally responsible to God, and will God
punish evasion of this responsibility?
some replied affirmatively, but many
more with an emphatic negative. The
exhaustive and conditional nature of
mans responsibility was frequently as
serted. Opinions were exprest that
hereditary tendencies nullified such OBJ
legations. The nearest approach to or
thodox teaching was that any penalty
would result in proportion as man Is
physically, mentally, and spiritually
responsible to laws that can not be VIC
lated or evaded without mourning in
evitable and fixt penalties. Some threw

criticism, for, set up in appropriate

KANSAS CITY POLICE sHAKE-UP

KANSAS CITY, NO., July 14.--The
shake-up in the police department has
cost Kansas City the services of John
p. McCauley, the police officer who
arrested Leon Czolgosz, slayer of
President Mckinley.
At the time of the assassination Nc
Cauley was police sergeant in Buff
falo. He was detailed in charge of
the squad of eleven policemen who
were to assist secret service men in
guarding the president. After the
assassination he was one of the first
to seize Czolgosz and it was he who
took him to the central police station
and booked him.
McCauley resigned in Buffalo and
came to Kansas City in 1911. He
was appointed a patrolman on the
Kansas City department July 10, 1911.
He has been member of the de-
partment since. McCauley and the
other two men who were dropped were

Scores of letters reached the office
