TUESDAY EVENING, MAY IL
CAN'T EAT CAKE AND HAVE TT


and have it, too, is very well
illustrated by an article in the
Wall Street Journal of to-day,
setting forth the conditions of our
foreign trade under the new tariff
regulations. The Journal reports that
according to government statistics, in
the first six months of the new Demo-
cratic tariff law, the import of manu-
factured products into the United
States has increased, the export of our
own manufactured articles has de-
creased and the import of raw ma
terials for manufacturing purposes in
this country has also decreased.
A careful analysis of the figures
shows that the Democratic admins
tration is in grave danger of facing a
tremendous deficit in. the national
treasury. Presumably this falling off
In duties on imports is to be met by
the income tax, as the Journal ex-
plains, but nobody knows how much
money this will bring, and instead of
curtailing expenses in order to meet
the possible reduction of revenues the
Democratic Congress is appropriating
more money than ever before.
Having opened our market to the
invasion of the cheap-labor products
of Europe one might have thought it
would have been clever politics to
have so shaped the legislative program
at Washington as to stimulate pro-
duction in other ways and to encour-
age those industries not seriously in
jured by the tariff to operate to their
maximum capacity. Instead, every
conceivable obstacle is being placed in
the pathway of harassed industry. I'M
tried experiments of legislation are on
the calendars of Congress- fads of ex-
tremists are to be enacted into law,
the Interstate Commerce Commission
Is taking its own leisurely course with
the railroads and the Department of
Justice pursues its disturbing but fruit
less search for trust law violations.
The Democratic administration is
trying to eat it's cake and have it. too.
1t is determined to carry through it's
program Of radical business expert
mentation and hopes regardless of re-
suits to be sustained at the polls in
November. The people who have
money to invest are about tired of
hearing from Secretary Redfeld that
the country is in a highly prosperous
condition" and the wage-earner knows
better than anybody that this con-
dition of flourishing prosperity exists
only in the minds of those who are
engaged in the gentle art of trying to
fool the people into continuing them

PROHIBITION AMENDMENT

NE OF the most interesting pieces
of legislation now before Con-
~ gress is the bill for a prohibition
constitutional amendment 1t is
now before the House and will con-
tinue constantly so until passed or
during the entire life of this Congress,
which dies March A. 1915. Advocates
of the measure say it will be voted on
at an early date and Republican, Pro-
gressive and Democratic leaders are
quoted as saying that it will be passed
by the necessary two-thirds vote.
Some ardent Prohibitionists frankly
express their pleasure that the bills
were reported without recommen-
dation, as this prevents it's being con-
sidered in any sense a party measure;
and as the President has no power of
veto over such a bill, and Mr.. Hobson,
spokesman for the Prohibitionists, has
declared that it will be made strictly a
question of submitting prohibition to
the people and not of subscribing to
that policy. the division will not be
along party lines.
1t is the first time In history that
the question of national prohibition
has seriously confronted either body
Of Congress-. Many members are de-
batting whether or not constitutional
amendment bill is privileged business
which can be called up at any time.
The question of whether or not Chair
man Henry, of the rules committee, is
willing to bring in rule favoring
iarly consideration Is also much dis,

w doubt personal reference when
he "imagines it quite as hard
to do your duty when men are sneer-
ing at you as when they are shooting
at you," the President hit one true
note Of sound truth when, in eulogizing
the men who died at Vera Cruz, he
said
All of these men were of our
blood and all of them were of our
stock. They were not Irish, not
Germans. not Hebrews. They were
not when they went to Vera Cruz.
of our blood. They proved that they
were of our spirit.
When men become citizens of the
United States they become Americans.
They come here in large measure with
that thought in mind and because our
form of government more nearly ap-
proaches their ideals than does that
of any of the European States that
have contributed so extensively to our
cosmopolitan population. Nowhere else
on earth are there such opportunities
for individual betterment as in the
United States. where the live land let
live principle is the keystone of our
common life.
AS some one has said. "our country
is the haven of the oppressed, the
school of the unlearned, the one big
chance to get ahead on our own
and be something
Even though our ancestors may have
with the Mayflower, they were
all foreigners" at one time or an
other We hold no grudge against the
newcomer drawn hither by the same
impulse that prompted the early set
tiers to chance the perils of the wild
for the opportunity of lettering their
condition.
So we hold dear all those who die
beneath the folds of the flag, and we
know them not as Russian, Italian,
Irish or German, but as Americans in
the highest sense that the word
implies.

TWINKIING

~ HE latest dance is the Pitts
burgh Twinkle" Laying aside
i all controversy as to whether or
not anything in the Smoky CITY
remains brilliant long enough to
twinkle, we are ready to express the
opinion that the twinkle" will not be-
come universally popular. 1t has too
many limitations.
The new dance is devoid of hugs,
shrugs and shuff1es and will be demon
strated by it's inventor Professor
Thomas McDougall. secretary of the
American Association of Masters of
Dancing, at the annual convention of
that organization in Cleveland, Ohio,
June to 20.
To dance the twinkle" the couple
start in the position of the old waltz.
They waltz for eight measures of mu-
sic, then they hesitate-there is lust
the faintest suggestion of the "hesi
tation" waltz. Then the man steps
forward on his right foot, then on his
left, back on his right and then the

Announcement by the board Of

men has been approved and will carry
joy to the hearts of thousands of faith

now receiving small pensions and who
creases in compensation, but the many
who are nearing the border line of age

NH teHuent OF parks, mas issued
lNls warning to pedestrians
against starting fires in Wild
wood Park. The superintendent would
be justified in causing the arrest of
any person violating this order. There
can be no good reason for the starting
of fires in the park, and scattering
sparks or ashes blown into flame might
cause damage in a few minutes that
could not be repaired by quarter of
a century of growth.
Harrisburgers should take sufficient
pride in Wildwood not only to protect
it from fires but from the vandal hand
of the flower gatherer as WELL Wild
wood is the one piece of uncut forest
within miles of Harrisburg and 1t is
rich in the flora of this locality-a
larger variety of plants and flowers
growing there than can be found in
almost any area of like size in Central
Pennsylvania-and if properly cared
for the park should remain always n
treasure trove for nature lovers and
a garden of wild growth of which the
city in years to come will be intensely
proud
Flowers bloom so abundantly there
that it may seem foolish not to permit
them to be carried away, but few
people realize that several varieties
which used to flourish there have be-
come almost if not quite extinct be-
cause of the careless manner in which
their blooms were picked The only
sure way of preserving plant life in
the park is to leave it strictly alone.
