What is Meant by
Adequate Protection?

II IS difficult to believe that the
New York Journal Of Commerce is
sincere In asking the question, What
Is Adequate Protection" That inter-
rogation suggests the kindergarten
type of groupings after truth. Surely
no well developed mentality need be
told at this day and date what Is
adequate Protection. After more
than hundred years Of practical
operation OF the Protection policy,
with occasional and brief lapses into
the dismal limbo of Free Trade any
well informed newspaper, such as we
have always found the Journal Of
Commerce to be, ought not TO ask
what adequate Protection intends to
be, and is.
II is quite possible, more's the pity
for economic thought to so so far
wrong as to dispute the need OF the
wisdom OF Protection, adequate or
inadequate. Free Trade virus. pri-
marily communicated by college
professors and intensified by subse-
quent persistence along the same
line of argument may and does i'm

spite OF all proof to the contrary; in
spite of fact and history for more

one can understand how the Journal
Of Commerce, holding to that barbar

doctrine of the greatest good to the

TO reiteration of the principle and

effort to make it the issue of this

The Journal OF Commerce is en-
tirely correct in assuming that The
Tariff League intends to reiterate
the principle and policy of a Pro-
tective Tariff and to make It the Is
sue of this years campaign. That
is precisely what The Tariff League
intends and hopes to do. But that
paper is entirely wrong when 1t fur

the industries or for a profit which
will satisfy those engaged in them?
Conditions have changed greatly
since the Protective policy was ad'
opted for establishing and fostering
into growth infant industries and
they will be changed more when the
war is over which has so deranged
industry and trade. There may then
he occasion for new changes in the
Tariff, but the dominant question is
likely to be new one, not that OF

Democracy in Dress

eyes OF the girls out of keeping with

Of dress. Unwritten laws are estab.

standards in school life they are of
great value but If they foster false
standards they work great harm.
The increasing custom OF wearing

only for social functions, and of
frequent changes of costume is be-
ginning to be established with the
force Of an unwritten law. The girls
