THE TNRIFF SCARE

nRESIDENT WILSON and his SON
in-law, the Secretary of the
Treasury, are manifestly dis
turbed over the receding income of
the government and climbing deficit
Realizing that the Democratic free
trade experiment has threatened the
very foundations of prosperity and
happiness for the people of the United
States, which calamity has been tenn
porarily bridged by the unexpected
revenues growing out of the purchase
of war materials for the European
fbelligerents, the administration at
Washington is now considering some
revision OF the Underwood tariff law
with view to increasing the revenues
But the real scheme is to save the
Presidents face and prevent a panic
in the event of a sudden cessation of
the war in Europe.
It has been suggested over and over
Fgain since the Republican protective
tariff was discarded by the Democratic
Congress and a free-trade measure
substituted therefor that-a radical re-
versal of the Democratic position was
Inevitable. Only the extraordinary
and unexpected purchase of supplies
by the fighting nations abroad has
served to cover up inNsome measure
the defects of the present tariff system
and the alleged purpose of President
Wilson and Secretary McAdoo to force
changes in the customs duties at the
approaching session of Congress indi-
Gates their alarm over the situation
President Wilson is doing some
ground and lofty tumbling nowadays
TO square himself with the people. His
"watchful waiting" policy in Mexico
has been the joke of the world and
has resulted in an intolerable situation
along our southern border. Also, he
declared against a policy of prepared
ness as outlined in a definite army and

STEEL TRADE PROSPECTS

[From the Philadelphia Record.l
In view of the astonishing success
which Charles NJ. Schwab has made of
the Bethlehem Steel Company the re-
port, apparently we'll authenticated,
that he is to secure control of the
Pennsylvania Steel Company brings
some consolation for the passing from
Philadelphia hands of this important in
dustrial plant. 1t is regrettable that
local interests seem so willing to turn
over to others great establishments
built up through many years of consci-
entious work, but so long as they show
this disposition no new ownership could
be so welcome as that which has
achieved such remarkable results at
South Bethlehem. 1t seems safe pre-
dictfon that the same aggressive policy
will be followed at the plant at Steel
ton. and that on the banks of the Sus-
quehanna, as on those of the Lehigh,
new industrial wonders will be worked.
The Record that Eastern Pennsylva-
MIA once the seat of the iron and steel
trade of the United States, offers ex-
ceptional advantages for a great re-
vival in this line of manufacture
markets of the country and through
the admirable facilities 1t enjoys for
obtaining the best of foreign ores
through nearby ports, such as Phila-
delphia and Baltimore. and. for build
ments from these ports. The unusual
success achieved at South Bethlehem
through such advantages. reinforced
by a most aggressive and progressive
tions made in these columns. 1t will
be gratifying If Steelton can be made
to repeat the story of Bethlehems sud-
den rise to fame and great prosperity.

realizes that he must change front or
this proposition and go along with the
sentiment of his countrymen.
Less than year ago the Presiden
declared that he must be guided b!
his party as the policies of that part,
were indicated by the Baltimore conven.
ticE and then turned down the woman
suffragists without a blink of the eye
Within the week, however, he has de.
| clared his support of the votes fol
women" propaganda. And so it goes
along the entire line of the waverins
administration now in power.
But the one thing which the Presi-
dent and his -in-law-the custodian
Of the government funds-insist upon
notwithstanding the outspoken dis
approval of the people is a govern
ment-owned merchant marine. Hav-
ing approved ir the last second of the
time allotted him the infamous La Fol-
lette bill, which has driven the Ameri-
can f1ag from the seas. the President
and his son-in-law now declare that
government ownership of merchant
vessels is the one great policy" which
the administration will urge upon the
plant Democrats when Congress re-
convenes.
Private enterprise is to be discour-
aged through a scheme of government
ownership of these vessels and nothing
that men of action who understand
the situation can say appears to have
any effect whatever upon the admins
tration bosses. of course. a few Demo-
Gratis here and there resent the Presi-
dents arbitrary stand on the question,
but they haven't the sand to oppose
him. 1t may be. however, that a sum-
mer spent among their constituents
will be shown to have had some in
fuence upon the representatives of
the people in the Senate and House
when they return to Washington in
December.
1t is plainly the purpose of Secre-
tary McAdoo to take advantage of the
public demand for national prepared
ness in the issuing of bonds so as to
conceal so far as possible the diminish
ing revenues resulting from Demo-
cratic tariff blundering.
Meanwhile, the citizens of the United
States who are more concerned about
the welfare of the country and its
people than anything else are not be-
ing deceived by the present activity of
the Wilson administration in the mat
ter of tariff revision, ship building
schemes, army and navy enlargement
and the other features of their pre-
liminary campaign.

CUT-OUT MANIACS
TNHERE is growing complaint

T<HERE is growing complaint
throughout the city over the in
fernal din caused by the use OF
cut-outs on automobiles and motor
cycles within the city limits. It is bad
enough when these noisy devices dis
turb the countryside, but there can be
no excuse whatever for such a racket
as is heard daily and nightly upon the
streets of Harrisburg.
IF the members of the police force
were as vigilant as they might be-
especially those of the motor squad
the cut-out violations would soon
cease. Threats of personal violence
to chronic offenders in this respect are
frequently heard and unless the police
department intervenes to stop the
nuisance, private citizens may be al
most excused for compelling in their
own way obedience to the regulations
prohibiting the use of the cut-outs on
the city streets.
It is openly charged that Mayor
Royals Indifferent policy respecting
the punishment of all such offenders
Is directly responsible for the con-
tinuance of the practice and the in
rreasing annoyance that comes from
the unnecessary noise of joy-riders
and motorcycle cranks who seem 10
think that disturbance of law-abiding
citizens is a legitimate feature of their
nocturnal jaunts.
Nor is the cIt-out the ONLY thing
demanding the immediate attention of
the police department. Reckless
speeding on the prominent streets of
the city must be stopped if life and
limb are to be safeguarded. It is a
common thing to see reckless motor
lists rush along the residential streets
a. a speed of forty or fifty miles in
hour, punctuating their screeching
cut-outs and horns with blood -curdling
gells at the midnight hour.
1t is not to be expected that the
patrolman on foot can apprehend
these offenders, but the motorcycle
squad was established for this very
purpose and it ought to be an easy
matter for these officers to make ar
rests and stop the racket But the
practice will not cease so long as
Mayor Royal dismisses the culprits
with wave of the hand and a few
remarks.

MARKET STREET SUBWAY

TT is so obviously necessary that

to improve traffic conditions in
Market street at the Pennsylvania
Railroad subway that the City Plan
ming Commission and the other city
authorities should lose no time in
reaching a conclusion. We believe
that both the Pennsylvania and Phila-

panies will cooperate with the city in
solving problem which is growing
worse every day, and when it Is solved
II should be in a broad and compre-
hensive way.
The subway on South Second street
is a fine example of cooperation of
the city with the railroad companies

THE SNAKE IN THE CANAL ZONE
[From the New York Sun.

Culebra is Spanish for snake; while
culebrear, to move like a snake; cule-
brino, snaky; culebrona. a woman with
the guile of a serpent, and half a
dozen other derivatiVe words carry
into various secondary meanings the
idea of reptilian cunning, sinuous
stealthy motion and suddenness and

The Culebra Cut was well named.
The name was officially changed some
months ago to Gaillard Cut in honor
of the memory of David Du Bose

peated writings of the ophidian mon

in motion by this latest writhe ten
million cubic yards of obstruction and
blocking the canal to traffic for months
