The South and Protection.

II. d, reported. tie south is dissat-
isfed with the Underwood tariff. she
las il in her power to do more than
talk. She had a large part in the de-
feat Of the ship purchase bill. Five
ri the seven democratic senator's
who assisted in the filibuster against
that measure were southern men
Nfr. Bankhead, Mr.. Clarke, Mr.. Cam
len, Mr. Hardwick and Mr.. Varda-
man. They refused support because
they did not think the measure EN-
bodied sound public policy. They re-
listed good deal of pressure. The
New Leadership was introduced, and
used for all it was worth.
Arti-proteotion sentiment in the
south was formed at time when
that section was not much more than
huge cotton plantation. Compare
lively little capital was invested in
manufacturing plants. Cotton was
king, and everybody yielded obedi-
ence.
But change came. and manufac-
turing plants sprang up. Cotton
ceased to hold despotic sway. Capt.
fal found its way into other than
farming channels. And with this
change came a revision of view as to
tie tariff. As protection had done so
much for manufacturing New Eng
land. why was it not good thing?
Why should not the south support
the policy, as we'll as share its bene-
hts at the hands of the republicans
when they were in power?
This change OF view. however, did
not appear at the polls. The people
voted for anti-protection platforms
and candidates, and their senators
md representatives in Congress,
voted for anti-protection tariff bills,
some of which were enacted into
law.
II the sugar and the rice, the fruit,
The cotton and the iron industries OF
the south want protection on con-
fessed protection lines they can get
i. The republicans stand ready to
vote it. Cooperation in Congress is
all that is necessary.
But, of course. it must be genuine
cooperation. What the south asks
tor her interests she must be willing
TO conoede to the interests of other
sections. Protection, in its true es-
tate, is live-and-let-live policy, ma
tional in application.
The Underwood law must be re-
vised. II was prepared in time of
peace, when there was no prospect
of war. 1t had failed before the war
began to keep the promises made in
IT'S name. Since the war the failure
has. of course, been emphasized; and
now il is plain that at the close OF
The war new revenue measure must
sc framed to meet the radically new
conditions the war will have pro-
duced. If the south means business
~ this matter, the time approaches
Tor her to show it.

The Wanderlusters.

The Nanderlust or the community
walking movement IS about year
old in Washington. The public walks
opened before the buds unfolded last
spring and continued through the
pleasant months of April, May and
June. Prophets forecast that the
enthusiasm Of these people for the
out-of-doors would languish in the
heat of July and August. But the
walks were continued and no road
vas too deep in dust and no day too
,ultry for the walkers. The delightful
days of autumn came and the COM

ASSARIA MAN, MISSING,
FOUND; GETS $4,000 ESTATE

Salina, Feb. 25.-John Peterson,
proprietor of the Assaria hardware
store in the zoos, who disappeared
eighteen years ago, has been found
in a hospital at st. Louis and will
be taken to the home of his broth
err, Will Peterson, in Kansas City, at
once. Detectives working for insur-
ance companies spent several years
hunting for Peterson without sue
cess. When he left Assaria he had q
brother in Assaria, viii Peterson,
who since moved to Kansas City.
Another Will Peterson living at As
saria a few days ago received let
ter from John Peterson. Believing
the letter to be from the long lost
man, he sent it to Kansas City. The
Petersons' mother died year ago
and her estate has not been settled.
It will now be settled and 1t is said
each of the sons will receive ap-
proximately $4,000. John Peterson
was thought to be dead.

SENATE ADDS 8 MILLIONS
TO HOUSE NAVY BILL

Washington, Feb. 27.-Congress
works away steadily on its task OF
cleaning up supply bills which must
be out of the way before adjourn
ment, March 4. The senate passed
the naval bill, 152 million dollars;
the Notifications bill, million dol
lars, and the diplomatic bill, $4.-
200, 900, while the house spent the
day debating the general efficiency
measure with Interruptions now and
then to dispose Of conference re-
ports.
The senate added about 8 million
dollars to the naval bill as It passed
the house, providing in the 2-battle-
ship construction program for five
seagoing submarines, instead OF one;
for sixteen instead of eleven coast
defense submarines; for a gunbOat
and a hospital ship, and adding l
million dollars for an armor plant
and Y million dollars for projec-
tile factory.

CONGRESS- WILL SIT
UNTIL THE GAVEL FALLS
Continuous Session Until End Al
Noon Tomorrow

Washington. March S.-Congresi
settled down for what the leaders
expect to be a continuous session
until the gavel falls to sfgnslize It's
end at noon ON March 4. The house
marked time for a few hours after
sending the government ship pur-
chase bill back to conference, while
committees Iabored on final agree
ments on the $1,000, 100000 APP
propriatfons for expenses Of the
government. Meanwhile the senate
sought theoretically to catch mp on
the legislative program.
Developments of the day practic-
ally sealed the fate Of the ship pur-
chase bill, administration leaders
agreeing that It would be almost
impossible to act on the conference
report In the senate after It is dis
posed of by the house.

ALL EYES ON LONDON NOW
Germany's Willingness to COncede
Encourages United States

Washington, Feb. 27,-Encourag-
ing reports from both Ambassador
Page and Ambassador Gerard in
London and Berlin, respectively,
were received by President Wilson
and his cabinet today concerning the
attitude of Great Britain and Ger
many toward the latest American
proposals for the safeguarding Of
neutral commerce from the dangers
of submarines and mines and the
unrestricted shipment of foodstuffs
to the civilian population of bellig-
erent countries.
Germany's willingness to make
CONCESSIONS and negotiate for an
understanding on the vexatious ques-
tions already has been made known
informally to the United States, and
a formal acquiescence is expected in
a day or two.
All eyes now are turned on Lon
don where the opinion is understood
as yet to be divided on the merits
of the suggestions.

ORPHANS PLEAD OWN
CAUSE TO LEGISLATORS

Topeka, Feb. 27.-An animated
petition, consisting of 1872 of the
1879 orphans who are inmates at the
state home at Atchison, was pre-
scented to the Kansas legislature to-
day by Senator Bale Waggener, in
final effort to influence the law
makers to appropriate $4,000 for
manual training and domestic
science building for the institution.
Headed by Waggener the children
marched from the senate to the
house, from the house to the treas
urer's office, and wound up with a
visit to Governor Capper.
Threshers Want Lien Law
wichita, Feb. 27.-The Tri-State
Threshermen's association, in con-
vention here, may ask the state leg
islature to pass a law requiring uni
form plans for bridges and culverts
in Kansas, for law to make it the
duty Of counties to build better
roads and for law giving thresh-
ers a lien on grain they thresh.

GERMANS REPLY TO
U. 8. NOTE Is FRIENDLY

Berlin, March Sin its reply to
the American note concerning the
German naval war zone the Ger
man government agrees that, under
certain conditions. its submarines
will halt and investigate merchant
men and will proceed against only
such vessels as are found to be car
rying contraband or are owned In
nations hostile to Germany.
The reply declares Germany's
readiness to accept virtually all OF
the American proposals except the
one which would restrict the use
of anchored mines to purely defen-
sive purposes. The German govern
ment expresses the belief that bel
ligerents can not afford to abandon
entirely the use of anchored mines
for offensive purposes.
German, however, insists on what
It considers a proper use Of the
flags.
