In the declaration Of this subject pro-
posed for insertion in the Democratic
platform OF 1916 purporting to have
president Wilson's approval a new
philosophy liz apparent. and although
the hated word protection" is avoid

IL used In manner which leaves no
room for doubt that the erection Of a
tariH barrier against foreign products
Is contemplated by its author. The
draft OF this plank is as follows:
We Teaiiirm our belief In the doc
trine OF a tarin for revenue only and
unreservedly indoTse the Underwood
tarin law as truly cxemplifying that
doctrine. All competitive tarif rates
are necessarily subject to change, to
meet changing conditions in the
worlds production and trade. Such
changes should be made only after in
Vesugation Of the conditions At home
and abroad by nOn-partisan tarih
commission, whose findings should be
presented 10 Congress for appropriate
action, and tho normal conditions OF
fair competition between American and
foreign producers should be main
tanned by an anti-dumping law. which
would keep the tariff rates on 4 fairly
competitive basis IN times OF surplus
production abroad"
The anti-dumpinG law by which the
industries Of this country are To be
protected against surplus production
abroad" would be designed to keep
the tariff rates on fairly competitive
basis; that is. the tariff rates would
be adjusted to maintain normal con-
uiuons OF faiT competition between
American and foreign producers"
This. however. Is to use the tariff
schedules for protection Of American
employees and workingmen against
foreign competition. and not for rev

Republicans have done in the past and
hope to do in the future. II Assumes
that the federal government has con-

FOR EASTERN OREGON
CHILDREN

nF eastern Oregon is ever to
have a normal school now
is the time. The measure
upon the ballot is the most IA
vorable that could be drawn.
Pendleton has the proper loca-
ton, the right population and
sufficient a c c o m m o datiOnS
from all standpoints. If a
normal school is not establish
ed at Pendleton it will not be
established anywhere in east
ern Oregon. If this city with
its natural advantages plus the
energy it has put into the cam
paign cannot win there is no
town in eastern Oregon that
can do so.
The Weston case is hopeless.
The school there was twice re-
jected by the people and the
adverse majority was larger
the second time than the first.
If Weston had a chance Pen
dleton would not have entered
the field. Weston is eliminat-
ed chiefly because the town is
too small and it is particularly
lacking in a sufficient number
of grade pupils for practice
teaching work.
Not an educator in the state
is supporting Weston as far as
is known. But all of them from
state superintendent down fa-
vor a normal at PendletOn.
They are working for our mea-
sure, earnestly and conscienti-
ously. They say they could
not conscientiously support a
bill for a normal school in any
small town.
The question before the peo-
pie is whether or not eastern
Oregon is to have normal edu-
cation or is to continue on a
basis wherein the most suffi-
cient results in the way of
school work are impossible.
Roll up a landslide vote for
the normal measure in Umatil-
la county and by so doing show
this section is determined to
stand for the welfare of its
children.

ON THE SEVENTH OF
MARCH

II T is particularly ungraci-
Gus for a republican news
paper or orator to twit the
president with cowardice. On
the seventh of March last the
McLemore resolution was vot-
ed upon in the house. 1t was
a questionable resolution be-
cause it looked to forbidding
Americans to travel broad for
fear this country would have
to protect them. In congress
that was the great Showdown"
of the war. The Wilson ad-
ministration was standing firm
for American rights and op-
posed the resolution. It was
tabled by democratic votes
while the republican house or
ganization led by Leader Mann
supported the resolution, lot
republican votes being cast for
the proposal that the United
States of America should bar
its citizens from travel for fear
Of possible war.
After the republican house
organization 50 frankly flew
the white feather last March
the present efforts to make
Wilson out a coward are CHEAP
indeed.
