Building "Ameriea First"

One Of the chief efforts of chambers
of commerce in all parts Of the United
States is to hold out inducements which
will cause manufacturing enterprises
to locate in their respective cities.
The desire Is to establish industries
which will maintain large weekly pay
rolls.
Such efforts are laudable. A cham
Der of commerce can scarcely render
a service of greater value to Its COM
munity, and yet chambers of COM
merce. in general, studiously avoid
the advocacy or even the discussion of
the principal means Of establishing
and maintaining industries which at
ford desirable pay rolls. Politics" is
taboo in chambers Of commerce and
the tariff question is regarded as poll
tics. though as a matter Of fact, it is
an economic and business question Of
the highest order. If it is desira BILE
for each community to have a manu-
featuring institution with a large pay
roll. it is equally desirable for the ma
ton to have a multitude of them
Every condition which encourages the
establishment Of industries in this
country makes it easier for each COM
munity to secure its share Manlfestly
there is nothing that tends more to
build up American industries. than a
protective tariff, which shuts out the
products of other lands.
one of the chief purposes Of "a labor
union is to secure employment for its
members at satisfactory scale of
wages. This also is Il iaudable pur-
pose. Experience has shown that there
is nothing that tends more to provide
employment in this country and main
tain high scale Of wages than a pro-
tective tariff, which excludes the prod
uct of cheap labor from abroad.
In labor unions also, however, poll
ties is usually barred from discussion
except perhaps as to the attitude of
individual candidates toward labor
questions. Instead of maintaining this
attitude toward political discussion
labor unions should make it known
that they fully understand the value of
protective tariff in providing employ
ment for American labor and main
tanning the American scale of wages
Here then are two great classes of
organizations which should be insist
ent and persistent in the advocacy of
protective tariff-the chambers of
commerce advocating such an econo-
mic policy for the benefit Of the COM
munlty as a whole. and the labor
unions advocating it because of it's
particular benefit to the American lab
orer. who is benefited by every in
crease in the demand for labor.

Pask, it was claimed, wrote a letter ad-
dressed to the rats. requesting them to
go away and not return. The letter was
smeared in lard and placed in rat hole
in the stable. and greatly to the astonish-
ment of Mr.. Pask and his friends the
letter was eaten up and afterward for a

Skillin argued that the plaintiff is not

was surgery in its broad sense. M. A.
Floyd. who appeared for the plaintiff,
argued that the treatment was not surgi

sage. Judge Connolly allowed a motion
for a directed verdict for the plaintiff.
Mr.. Skillin then filed exceptions. and the

testified that he does not use the title of

patients to call him so.

VaeiIIation Destroys Wilson's Influ.
ence,

There is no visible evidence in Wash
ington than the Presidents speeches in
the Middle West have produced any
reaction upon his rebellious fellow
Democrats in Congress which can be
translated into votes for his prepared
ness legislation. On the contrary, the
leading mal-contents among the Demo-
cratic majority seem to have been
stimulated in their opposition by the
Presidents attempt to arouse the ma
ton.
No sooner had Mr.. Wilson delivered
his first speech at Pittsburg and it
became evident that his appeal for
support was to contain vague and
threatening generalities, than the re-
calcitrant Congressman proceeded to
"hire hail. as the President had pre-
Viously counselled in his New York
speech They took the largest theater
in the city and proceeded to flood tho.
town with hand-bills bearing the strik-
ing heading: Don't be Scared"
When the meeting was hel3 it was
found that the crowd in attendance
was a record breaker and six Demo-
cratic members of Congress proceeded
TO voice their opinions Of preparedness
and of their Presidents position with
reference to it in language Of hostility
which could not be misunderstood.
The Presidents speeches have not
rung true. And in this is the great
weakness Of the Presidents position
before the country. not only regarding
the programme for defence but regard
ing many other questions of wide i'm
portance. He has changed his mind so
often and so suddenly that he does not
carry conviction with him when he
starts out on a new tack. If he ex-
poets to convert Bryan and Tavenner
and the rest. or if he expects to over
come them with new converts to his
own standard. he will have to strike
faster gait than he has yet shown.
