Unquestionably. Where will the

a campaign fund if the tariff is not an
issue? A few dollars might be OBJ

reason to believe that Huerta was an

GO SLOW ON TARIFF
Matter Too Important for Hasty
Judgment.
Conditions When the European War
Is Ended May Demand Readlust-
ment Of Schedules or It May
Be Unnecessary.

Like all other instructors in the pro-
tectionist school, our neighbor the Sun
believes that there is only one way to
revise the tariff, which is upward, and
only one acceptable time, which is
now. No matter If all industrial Eu-
rope is at war and is doomed to re-
main so, perhaps, for two years more.
there will be peace eventually. and
then our manufacturers. merchants
and workers will be at the mercy of
the most skillful and desperate COM
petition the world has ever known"
Probably no well-informed person
will deny that after the close of the
war there will arise economic condi-
tions in Europe that may demand i'm
portant changes in our tariff. Good
reasons may appear for increasing
some of the schedules, but 1t Is quite
as likely that common sense will die
tate decreases in others. With due re-
spect to the protectionist school, 1t
must be said that the American tariff
Is going to be adjusted to revenue as
we'll as protection for many day.
Existing customs duties have failed
as revenue-producers because the war
has reduced imports. The war, there
fore, has given most of our manufac-
turers and merchants the advantage
that they would hope for under a pro-
hibitive tariff. To increase rates upon
traffic that does not exist would BIO
useless, and experimentation in other
directions, except for the one object
of revenue, would only invite jobbery
and disaster.
1t is not in the mind of any disinter-
ested man to say precisely what kind
of tariff we shall need when Europe
relinquishes the sword. But the very
worst Of all tariffs in that emergency
would be one under which a few ia
vored interests could perpetuate in
time of peace the distractions from
which we have suffered in time of
war.-New York World.

That he would fill the bill.
Now Jimmie Gray was getting tired,
He'd been at bat SO long.
And since he'd beer so often hit,
He wasn't very strong.
He stood, quite weary, at the plate,
His eyes went slowly closed.
And in a jiffy, standing there,
He fell into a doze.
Red Kelly grinned and served three
balls,
That cut the rubber square.

BIG BOYS FIGHT
AT GRAND TODAY
Carroll and Kenneth Are
Boxers Wanted All Over
the Country.

Sailor Carroll, the big siX-foot blue
jacket, has nearly completed reefing
his sails for the big storm of Friday
night, when he will meet the fight
ing tool dresser, Kid Kenneth of
California, in a fifteen-round Queens
bury tango at the Grand opera house.
Both fighters are now on the last lap
Of their training and will finish to-
selves with a long walk and a good
rest, and will enter the ring with all
the pep" that comes from careful
conscientious training, conscientious
because each knows full well that to
be the least out of condition means
victory for the other. And they are
been anxious to slip the poppy wallop
to the other, us it means much to the
winner in future bouts.
Already numerous offers are being
received for the winner to box in
other cities, but Messrs. Clancy and
Kelly have The situation well in hand
and seemingly have convinced both
men that Tulsa is the place for the
winners next appearance. 1t Is be-
lieved that when Kenneth and Carroll
look over the house which greetS them
upon their entering the ring Friday
night, they will see the logic of the
argument that Tulsa should be the
home of the winner and Carl Morris,
the next opponent.
The four hundred fans who wit
messed the workouts yesterday after
noon seem to man TO be of the Opin-
ion that the coming bout will be the
most evenly matched heavyweight
contest ever staged in this state.
"In bringing Carroll here to box
Kenenth | am we'll aware of the fact
that am sending HIM up against one
OF the best heavywelghts in the
world" said Horace Newlin, Car
rolls manager, yesterday 81 can
celed a date at Montreal, Can, to be
able to take this engagement, but
Carroll will win and that before the
tine limit is over, Then we want
Carl Morris, as the chance at him Is
the magnet that draws, and ! figure
that after carroll has beaten Ken
meth, Morris can offer no reasonable
excuse for not meeting him."
enneth is not much Of talker but
wears a smile which means conf
dence. He goes about his training as
though it were one Of the most com
monplace things Of his life and the
fact that the battle is tomorrow
night seems to mean no more to
Kenneth than it did last Thursday
when it was a week off. Kenneth has
announced that he is ready and feels
sure of winning.
The advance seat sale will continue
at the Rexall drug store today and
tomorrow up until o'clock I'm the
evening, at which time it will be
transferred to the Grand.
