FACTS DIscREDIT HIGH TARIFF

The average wage of the U. S,
Steel Corporation rose from 1929 in
1p0S to 1925 in 1915. This is an in.
crease of nearly 5000 per man, and il
was brought about under Democrat
ic cut in the iron and steel tariff
schedule. 1t is interesting to note in
this connection that the wage cost OF
steel production dropped from $19.41
per ton in 1908 to $15.O3 per ton in
1915. Here is sbrinkage of $448 in
wage cost of steel production coinci
dent with a 5000 rise in the annual
wage.
This proves two vital points in our
national economy: First, that high
wage standard is consistent with eff
ficlency and economy of production;
and second, that the old Republican
doctrine of the high tariff school, that
wel-paid labor needs protection
against cheap labor, is discredlted by
actual results as disclosed by the re-
ports of the greatest Industrial enter
prise on the globe.

The action of Roosevelt and the
disruption Of the Progressive party
will in Ohio cause the return OF 49,
600 Democrats to President Wilson.
In the past these admirers Of the
spectacular could not be held to ira
ditional moorings. With them on their
return will come others who will not
acquiesce in the reactlonary turn of
affairs at Chicago. An indication of
what may be expected here is seen in
the statement of Francis j. Heney,
famous graft prosecutor of LOS An
geles, who has now come TO the sup
port of President Wilson. Without
questioning the personal integrity of
Former Justice Hughes, Heney says
his nomination marks the continued

An old type Of politician once said
TO his son that he was not afraid of

could have lasting effect. "An UNI

anything you will know that 1t hurts

Governor Willis continually resorts
TO denial. Among other things he
considers of Importance is frequent
denial that he was in league with

TAKES EXAMS

Although She Had Been Ad-
mitted To Ohio Practice
MRS. GALLERER WILL ADVISE
Rather Than Appear in Court and
Address the Jury-Wife Of
Former Mt. Vernon Boy
Qualifying for Penn
sylvania State
Bar
MRS. GALLEHER WILL ADVISE

In the following from the Pitts
burgh Press of July 6, Mt. Vernon
people will note with interest infor-
nation concerning the wife of for
mer Mt. Vernon boy. Mr.. Galleher
was graduated from Mt. Vernon high
school in the late nineties. He is the
son of Mrs. Mary J. Galleher, 1Ol
North Gay street The article follows:
Mrs. II. L. Galleher of 5727 Ellwood
street, young and pretty, is taking the
examination for admission to the Allie
gheny county bar this week. Howard
Lee Galleher, her husband, is head of
the industrial department Of the b. Il
o. railroad in Pittsburgh. Why she
should think of risking a wrinkle over
legal cares and subtleties would puz-
zle anyone not in the secret.
But It isn't really secret at all
Mrs. Galleher readily explained yes
terday.
"I'm doing it just for fun" she said.
81 don't need to do it at ALL"
Mrs. Galleher succumbed to the
lure of the law when she was just a
"miss," out in Ohio In 1914 she was
admitted to the bar in the Buckeye
state, and in July of the same year
was given permission to practice in
the supreme court. Then came the
later summer days and wedding in
September with Howard Lee Galleher
and she didn't practice her profes-
sion in Ohio. Mr.. and Mrs. Galleher
moved to Pittsburgh.
Mrs. Galleher promptly registered
as law student here and entered
the law school of the University of
Pennsylvania, from which she grad
uated this year.
"Would you like to make an ad-
dress in the court room before a
jury?" she was asked today.
81 don't know how that would feel,
she said. 81 wouldn't expect to ap-
pear in court much, but rather to act
in an advisory capacity"
"Have you any children?"
"Oh no, no children" Mrs. Galleher
laughed back merrily.
Are you a widow ?"-the reporter
had not yet heard of the wedding that
broke up the idea of practicing in
Ohio.
"Oh, no, no." emphatically exclaim
ed the fair feminine Blackstonian de
votee. ooh, no, no." she repeated
my husband is with the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad"
You're not taking up the law be
cause you have to make a living anC
think being lawyer is a good way
them"
ooh, no, don't have to do 1t at all
for any reason"
Are you doing it just for fun?
was asked.
Eyes. yes, that's just it. I'm doinl
1t for fun," Mrs. Galleher replied, a
though she had at last come to th
final and correct conclusion.
