NEED OF THE NATION

RUSSELL SMITH, professor OF IN
dustry in the University of Penn
sylvania, in a lecture before the
economics class of the Harrisburg
Wharton School Extension, declared
that this country is facing industrial
ruination at the end of the war be-
cause of the national governments
free trade policy.
Professor Smith. one of the most
eminent industrial economists in the
country, explained to the students that
he was speaking from an economic
viewpoint only and not from a po-
litical one. He declared that after
careful study of the situation he is
convinced that the nation will suffer
a period of industrial depression as
great or perhaps greater than England
suffered following the Napoleonic
wars. England, he told the students,
was a free trade country. and at the
close of the wars the other European
nations dumped on England's shores
their goods-held off the market dur
ing the fighting-at whatever price
they could get. The professor then
pointed out that the tariff laws of to-
day place US in much the same po-
sition as was England after the great
Napoleonic struggle. Germany and the
other nations now at each others
throats will spill their goods in this
country and take whatever they can
get. II will be impossible for the
American manufacturer to sell his
goods in competition with the Euro
pean, and as a consequence there will
be closed mills. factories and manu-
featuring plants. declares DR.. Smith.
Here in a nutshell the industrial
expert has shown the folly of free
| trade.
Free trade has been and always will
be the Democratic cornerstone. With
out a free trade policy there would be
no reason FOR the existence of Demo-
cratic party. And just|so long as the
Democratic party controls Congress
Twill the nation groan under the injus-
! tice of that policy.
DIR. Smith says that the only way of
averting the impending depression is
to protect American industry by law.
But it is certain the Democratic Presi-
dent and Congress will enact no such
protecting legislation. They brand
| protection" as unnecessary.
| What, then. must the American
businessman, the American artisan,
the American laborins man, do to in
sure prosperity after the great war
now raging?
There is but one answer-the return
of the Republican party in 1916 to full
and complete control of the nations
! destinies at Washington.

THE STATES OPPORTUNITY


Just now when the mills and mines
of Pennsylvania are pushed to ill
their orders and the railroads and
places of business throb with activity
it is forcibly borne home upon observ-
ers of the trend of things in the Key
stone State that it is going to be as
dependent on outside food supplies
within a generation as are England
and Germany in normal times unless
thought is given TO the subject. The
wearing out of the soil in some parts
of this State is significant OF what is
bound to occur beneath the surface.
Earth will yield its increase as long
as man uses common sense.
The trouble is that there are now
easier, surer and more profitable
ways OF making money than on the
farm in many of the counties in this
Commonwealth. otherwise, the boys
would stay on the farm. And so
would the girls. The same study,
care and energy has not been given
to the development of our agricul-
tural resources as have been given to
the coal and the Iron and the oil.

when there are many more mouths
to feed, the fields may be covered over
with corn and our imperial Common
wealth will not be dependent on the

Illinois. the potatoes of Maine or the
hams of Virginia.

THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT
BY Frederic J. Haskin

TIME Washington Monument, with
its pressure of nine tons to the
- square inch, sits on bed of
sand. 1t reaches into the clouds and
is struck by lightning more often than
any other object in the world. 1t is the
greatest and costliest monument ever
built to any man. 1t is visited by more
people than any other memorial on the
western hemisphere. Its picture is
the most familiar image in America.
Yet in this generation 1t would be
hard to find man who had ever
read a description of 1t. The perio-
dical index of the Library of Con-
gress reveals the fact that not a sin
gle magazine article has been written
about it in twenty years. Hence this
piece.
Last year $4,000 people made the
journey to its top. more to be able to
tell of it than to enjoy it's enchanting
view. These were but followers of
similar hordes that had gone before.
Every day since it's doors were opened
in 1888, constant streams of people
have made their way up and down its
gloomy shaft. In all, 100000 have
visited it.
The giant pile rises as if it were one
pillar of stone, hewn unbroken from
the rock. There appears to be no
break in its smooth skin except the
tiny windows at the top, which look
like the breathing nostrils of living
thing. From this altitude one will
always see stream of tiny man crea-
lures going in like bees entering a
hive.

Inside is tunnel stood on end. Its
base is 20 feet square and it goes all
the way up. In the center is an ele-
Vator shaft surrounded by a circular
stairway which mounts for $40 feet.
OF all the people who visit the monu-
ment, one in four prefers to climb the
stairway rather than to use the ele-
vator. There are 800 steps to be ne
gotiated and the climber is apt to pay
for the feat with sore muscles. The
combined perpendicular distance that
these pedestrians have covered is
about 100000 miles.
Exterior is Attractive
The primary charm of the monu-
ment is it's exterior. The United
States, which as a young nation was
strikingly wise or surprisingly fortu-
nate in its most important structures.
The best authorities of the world have
found no fault with the Capitol, the
White House or the Washington Mon
ument.
This monster shaft, reaching 555
feet in the air, tapering with infinite
grace, its sides absolutely plain and
unornamented, possesses a solemn i'm
pressiveness that is produced by few
structures in existence. The condi-
tions under which it is seen are
just as they should be. 1t stands on
the crest of gently rolling hill.
Around it there is a field of 1O6 acres,
mostly a sloping lawn, broken here
and there by a clump of shrubbery or
weeping willow. The view of this

GERMAN VOTE A REBUKE

Expressions of opinion by editors of
German newspapers in cities where
the German element is strong is about
evenly divided on the question of
whether or not the Republican vote
was increased by the desertion of the
Germans from the Democratic ranks
as protest against President Wilson'S
neutrality.
Some of them declare frankly that
there was distinct German vote, and
all admit this was a factor in the result
Others say that President Wilson's
policy toward the warning nations had
nothing to do with it. Still other COM
ment is to the effect that the Germans
did not vote against the Democrats be-
opposition to the Presidents German
policy, but because they wished TO reg
lister a protest against his administra-
tion generally.

a BOUT this season of the year We
~ who have reached the stage of
life when we do not boast Of
our birthdays may cast thought
backward to the days when with the
coming of the first cold SPELL father
was called upon by mother to put up
the stove"
Those were the days before the
for rent" advertisements began to
include hot air furnaces and steam
heat plants among modern conven-
icnces." All summer the self-feeding
heater had stood shrouded in old
newspapers as far in the background
of the household as it could be put,
the home of stray mice and the hiding
place of marbles and kindred treasures
of small boys.
Nobody paid any attention to it. II
was mere barnacle on the life of the
household. But when father. after
numerous ursings and much sparring
for delay, was finally prodded into TAX
ing off its shroud and had invited in
several particularly husky neighbors to
help him lift it, that old stove took
on possibilities for trouble of magni-
tude far beyond even it's gigantic size.
It was at this period we learned with
amazement that father, in times of
stress and with thumb wedged be-
tween an upper and lower section of
the stove, was apt to use far worse
language than that for which he had
put pepper on little Johnny's tongue
only the day before.
1t was indeed a sad occasion. Mother
wept when father let fall a sooty
stovepipe on the new rag carpet and
father behaved like the snappy old
lion at the circus when the keeper
pokes him with an iron rod. But the
results were worth it all. No steam
heat plant ever invented could yield
The comfort of that old self-feedine
heater. How its elaborate nickel work
did glow on winter evenings and how
we did toast our frozen feet and faces
before its CHEEKY glow after many a
skating or coasting expedition. Maybe
it is only the charm of retrospection
but when the wind begins to howl and
the air begins to nip and the sleet to
rattle against the window pane there
arises vision of comfort that includes
that selfsame old heater and the warm
glow of a big. old-fashioned coal oil
lamp striving valorously and odorifer.

IT'S ALL A DUMPING" LAW

TINE Washington correspondent of
the New York Evening Post is
reputed to have a key to the
back door of the White House and to
be able to run in and out of there as
he pleases. Therefore, what he says
"touchin' on and appertainin' to"-if
We may use those famous words-the
purposes of the Wilson administration
should be deemed authentic. He tele-
graphs his paper that "the Wilson
administration has no thought of a
revision of the tariff at this time.'' He
adds: THE only phase of the tariff
thus far seriously discussed in high
quarters has been the dumping clause
of the Underwood law. under which,
should the war end suddenly, the ma
tions of Europe might flood the Ameri-
can market with cheap goods of all
descriptions"

difficulty. The entire Underwood tariff

HIS LAST MOMENTS

[From the New York Times.1
The dangers of travel by sea at this
time have played havoc with the nerves
of timid passengers.
Early one morning recently there
was considerable commotion on the
decks of a coastwise vessel plying be-
tween Savannah and Baltimore. when
a scantily clad man hurried from his
stateroom and dashed toward the up
per deck. On the way he ran into the
captain of the vessel.
whats the matter. captain?" he
managed to gasp. Have we been tor
pedoed?"
Calm yourself. my dear sir. and be
prepared for the worst" answered the
official.
"Oh. don't tell me we're going down.

the life-preservers?'
They wouldn't be of any service at
this stage" explained the captain.
Too late?" quavered the despairing &

You'll have to look out for yourself
from now on. You see. we've just tied

In few months the exposition will

title for the present to the plot of
ground upon which her commissioners
erected the building and the stipula-
tions were made that the art works
were to be the property of the Com
monwealth. Not only was this stipu-
lation made, but it was arranged that
such art works as were desired should
be sent to this State.
Some of the art works at the ex-
position are fine and some of the
paintings in the State building have
attracted comment. The State has
erected a great official home on
Capitol Hill and it is to be hoped that
the best of the paintings will be
brought here to grace the corridors or
reception rooms of the State House.
Paintings from a number of the eX-

a generous contributor are deposited
at the Capitol and those from San
Francisco should be placed here, too
