THE SOUTH AND PROTECTION.

This country is, at heart, for protection.
Upon the question of protection as one of
the fundamental issues of the day will be
fought the next great political csmpaign.
The business men of the South, the
leaders in cotton manufacturing, in iron
and steel making, in coal, and iron ore m n
ing and in many other linesof the miner
al industry, the sugar producers, the rice
and peanut growers, the men in shops and
foundries, the men who have learned how
false are the claims of tbs big free riders,
are all for protection.
Southern politicians ignore tn sc facts
and keep on playing with their worn out
theories of free trade, they will have no
one but themselves to blame for their
overwhelming inevitable defeat.
The many people of the South who are
protectionists at heart owe to themselves
and to the welfare of their country to meet
the issue squarely and no longer be held
in bondage by the politicians.
Intellectual slavery is worse than physical
slavery.
Tens of thousands of the most intelligent
men of the South who are bearing the bur-
den Of Southern development and lead
ing this section on to higher grounds OF
prosperity know that there never was
a time when protection was more needed
than it will be the day Europcs war ends
There are many evidences that the ad-
ministration realizes this and would seek
way to meet the situation. The straight
open way is to admit the failure OF the
present tariff, and to show that present
conditions justify The most radical free
trader in becoming radical protectionist,
Just as former peace advocates are now
advocates of preparedness.
Will the politicians and The adminisira-
ton squa ely face the situation, or shirk
the opportunity and the responsibility

GOLDEN DA Us

Selected
These are beautiful golden days,
Ruby and rose and amber;
Kissing the scarlet berry's face,
Where the roses used to Chamber.
These are the beautiful golden days,
Coodly and glad to remember;
Hard by the hills in their purple haze
Shivers the grew November.
Deep in the forests mystic haze
Ruby and rose are shifting;
These are the gracious golden days
Drifting drifting, drifting.
Sing high, my heart, for the golden days;
Joy has its things to remember;
Sorrow its things to forget;
Drifting, drifting, drifting.

There are 100000 people in New

Therefore we decided that If we could
put our information in the hands of every
school child in New York il would reach
practically every family in New York The
board of education agreed to such a scheme
and the problem of distributing our propa-

about our dash across the border
We Americans are inclined to

says George w Perkins. organizer OF the
steel trust and leading progressive.
Perkins, as head Of Mayor Mitchers
food committee, has recently won laurcls
for the way he has attacked the hgh-cost-
of-living problem and reduced it to formulas
whereby, he says, housewives can save
20 cents on every dollar
"The economics Of food-both as TO buy
ing and cooking-arc less developed than
any other single group Of economics about
which our daily lives revolve," says Per
kins
Therefore it seems obvious that by put
ting these on scientific basis, we can at
once effect the greatest single saving OF
which we as people are capable.

leave nothing to chance, so we worked out

Perkins
''ln it are big business principles brought
down and trapped for the kitchen"
In addition to these circulars Chairman
Perkins and his committee have printed
series of supplemental booklets on the
economic preparation OF left-overs meat
substitutes fish and vegetables. Each OF
them contains hundreds of tested recipes.
And these recipes are tested" said
Perkins. They are tested by an average
housewife who has to support her family
on an average salary.
Every recipe printed in our book was
tried out by Mrs. Selma Kihlgren, who has
a little home down on the East Side and
whose husband gets $l2 a week Any
recipe that she found to be impractical
was tossed at once into the discard

to help reduce the high-cost-of-living we
could make no better start than by having
workable recipes"
