DEMOCRATS.

We reaflrm our belief in the doe
trine of a tariff for the purpose of
providing sufficient revenue for the
o2' ration of the government eco
nomically administered, and unre-
servedly indorse the Underwood law
as truly exemplifying that doctrine.
We recognize that tariff rates
are necessarily subject to change to
meet changing conditions in the
world s production and trade.
Two years Of war which has di-
rcctly involved most of the chief in
dustrial nations of the world, and
which has indirectly affected the
life and industry of all nations, are
bringing about economic changes
more varied and far reaching than
the world has ever before expert
cneed.
In order to ascertain just what
| these changes may be the Democrat
ic congress is providing for II non
partisan tariff commission to make
impartial and thorough study of ev-
cry economic fact that may. throw
light either upon our past or upon
our future fiscal policy with regard
to the imposition of taxes on inn
ports or with regard TO the changed
and changing conditions under
which our trade is carried on.
We cordially indorse this timely
proposal and declare ourselves in
sympathy with the principle and
purpose of shaping legislation with
in that field in accordance with
clearly established facts, rather
than in accordance with the de-
mands of selfish interests or upon
information provided largely, if not
exclusively, by them.

THE TARIFF
REPUBLICANS.

The Republican party stands
now, as always, in the fullest sense
for the policy of tariff protection
to American industries and Ameri-
can labor and does not regard an
anti.dumping provision as an ade.
quate substitute. Such protection
should be reasonable in amount, but
sufficient to protect adequately
American industry and American la
Dor and be so adjusted as to prevent
undue exactions by monopolies or
trusts. 1t should, moreover, give
special attention to securing the
industrial independence of the
United States as in the case of
dyestuffs.
The Underwood tariff act is q
complete failure in every respect
Under its administration import.
have enormously increased in spite
of the fact that intercourse with
foreign countries has been largely
cut Of by reason of the war, while
the revenues of which we stand il
such dire need have been greatly re
duced.
1t has not in the least reduced the
cost of living which has constantly
advanced from the date of its enact
ment. The welfare of our people
demands its repeal and the substi
tuition of a measure which in peace
as we'll as in war will produce ample
revenue and give reasonable protec
ton to all forms of American pro
duction in mine, forest, field an(
factory.
We favor the creation of tariff
commission with complete power t.
gather and compile information TO
the use of congress in all matter
relating to the tariff.

Vinegar Versus Bugs.

For the housewife who disikes the
task of picking over greens of various
kinds because of the numbers of tiny
bugs which often cling to the leaves,
here is hint which may prove help
full: After picking off all dead leaves
ana other foreign matter, just put n
small quantity of vinegar, say a quar-
ter of cup, into the pan of water
in which you rinse your greens, and
you will be surprised to see how the
little bugs will drop into the vine
gar-water. The acid of the vinegar
seems to render them powerless to
cling to the leaves, and thus water
cress, lettuce, spinach, dandeloins aad
other greens may be quickly and
easily cleaned of insects. ! usually
give the greens a final rinsing in clear
water.-Woman s Home Companion.

We believe, in American policies
at home and abroad. We declare
that we believe in and will enforce
the protection of every American
citizen in all the rights secured by
him by the Constitution, treaties
and the law of nations, at home and

at Baltimore in 1912 the Democratic
President and the Democratic con
gress have failed to defend, we will
unfinchingly maintain.

SPORTS-- CENTRAL IS READY FOR HARD BATTLE


Football, according to local en-
thusiasts, gets its real start to-mor-
row when Tech meets Steelton. The
Coach Taggart bunch will have an
advantage in the first game in being
at home. No one predicts a one-sided
score. Steelton eleven has been show
ing even better form than one year
ago. Tech will not go into the game
looking for something easy.
Central High eleven Is booked for
a real exhibition of football to-mor-
row. No matter what conditions may
be with the Stevens Trade School
team, the plays will be to make as
many points as Is possible. If the
Trade school proves easy in the first
half Coaches Smith and Harris may
send in substitutes for the last half.
This will be due to the fact that next
week Central meets Steelton and it
is the desire to keep the players from
the injured list. 1t is the general be-
lief that players are more likely to
get injuries when opposition is weak
than in q hard battle.
Former football stars got into
game yesterday The Marshalls
battled with the Harris eleven. 1t
was q scoreless game but the work
of each individual showed that foot
ball knowledge is not all with scholas-
tic and collegiate players. These boys
have been in the game and some are

AMERICAN LEADS
IN ALL BASEBALL
Minor Races Close; Furnish
Many Thrills on Wind-up;
Two Seasons Popular

New York, Oct. 20.-The close of
the baseball season of 1916 found the
American League pre-eminent, due to
its victories in the worlds series and
the two city series which composed
the post-season schedule of the base
ball year. OF the six teams which
figured in these contests the junior
league trio won twelve of the fourteen
games played.
The Boston Americans defeated the
Brooklyn Nationals four out of five
games; the st. Louis Americans won
in similar manner from their Ma
tional rivals. and the Chicago Ameri-
cans took four straight from the Chi
cago Nationals. This playing form
was a sharp reversal from the result
or the Sqring series, when the Ma
tional League clubs won twenty-four
games out of the thirty-nine inter-
league contests played just previous to
the opening of the two major league
pcnnant races.
Minor Races Close
In the minor leagues the majority of
the flag struggles were reasonably
close and there were less financial diff
culties and disrupting of leagues than
was the case year ago. Among the
circuits that confined their schedules
~ one season the winning club of the
Eastern League showed the highest
percentage when New London finished
with sc games won and "a lost for
total of III.
More leagues than usual divided
their seasons into two parts and in
some cases the winner of the first por-
tlon Oh the season met the victor of the
second half in a play-off for the cham
Flonsh1p of the league. This system
found considerable favor with the fans
ana Is likely to be adopted more gem
orally next summer.
The final standing of the various
CLUBS and leagues, both in the post
season and regular pennant races, is
shown in the appended tables:

PITT READY FOR SYRACUSE

Pittsburgh, Oct 20.-Pitched into
series of games with powerful oppo-
nents, with only one lighter event pre-
cceding, the Pitt football team is play
ing probably the hardest schedule set
before any college eleven in the coun-
try this year. Last Saturday Warmers
men travelled to Annapolis and fought
it out with the rejuvenated Middies:
tomorrow they face. in the Syracuse
bowl. the big Orange team; a week
hence comes the biggest game of the
year, from the local standpoint, when
Bob Folwell's team carries the colors
of Pennsylvania on Forbes Field. If
the willy coach can lead his men
through this program without defeat
and still in shape to face the coming
trials against Washington and Jeffer-
son. Carnegie Tech. and Penn. State,
he should be credited with marveIous
achievement.
