AN UNLovELY CHARACTER

Every newspaper reader knows OF
and about Mrs. Hetty Green. the most
eccentric as well as the most wealthy
woman in the United States. because
she occasionally comes to public no
uce through some law suit. The Intel.
hFencer has no quarrel with Mrs.
Green on account of her great wealth.
but II Is disposed to question her use.
or. rather. her nou-use Of it. Il is not
an exemplihcation OF economy for a
woman rated 20 be worth 500. OOO. 600
To live in s. a week furnished room.
and TO live there in solitude. II is
simply penuriousncss. There Is an.
other reason for this seclusion in Ho-
ooken. II is TO keep up her non,resi-
dence status with the New York CITY
authorities to avoid paying taxes
she therefore not only shirks her plain
duty 20 society. but escapes carrying
her proportionate share OF the tax bur.
den. In a certain sense she is not a
more desirable citizen than the icno.
' ''-''-'i - ant VIM Woik at daW
labor What does this woman get out
OF life in her misery worship OF the
dollar?
When We consider the amount OF
unrelieved woe. want and distress in
the country that is daily appealing for
succor. II is something OF a crime for
Mrs. Green to be hugging her mil
lions tightly TO her shriyeled and IN
sympathetic breast. especially when
she has no dependents Of her own TO
take care Of She is engaged in no
philanthropy. and seems TO be devoid
OF all humanitarian instincts. And
what shall it have profited this woman
to have accumulated her large pos
sessions when her last hour comes.
not a cent Of which she can take with
her? Let no one be moved 10 envy
her her wealth. for richer by far is
the humble citizen Of toll who per.
forms his whole duty as a citizen and
is helpful TO his fellowmen according
10 his abilities.

A DEMOCRATIC BLUNDER.

Senator Penrose, Of Pennsylvania.
In HIS speech at Providence. Rhode
Island. Saturday night. referred TO
the necessity OF an anti-dumping
clause in our tariff laws. which recalls
a singular reversion OF the administra-
ton OF its former position. Such a
clause was put in the Underwood bill
by the House. but was eliminated BY
the Democrats in the Senate Now
comes Secretary Redield. who has ad
mitted the necessity for legislation to
provide that unfair competition from
abroad az the close OF the war shall
not be permitted 10 injure American
industry" The Secretary has an
nounced that IN his next annual report
10 Congress he viii recommend the
enactment OF laws to prevent the
dumping" Of foreign products into
the American market Considered in
connection with Secretary RedheId's
statement. the action OF the Democrat
ic Congress In eliminating the anti.
dumping clause from the Underwood
tarif law assumes the proportions OF
a colossal blunder
