ISLANDERS SLIP TWO MORE COGS-BKLY McCREATH RETAINS CITY TENNIS TITLE
Mabel Trask Scores New
Five-Heat Circuit Record
Special to the Telegraph

Columbus, O., Aug. Is. - Mabel
Trask, beaten by st. Frisco, last week
at Pittsburgh, won from him yester-
day in a ive-heat battle for the
Athletic Club of Columbus $4,000
stake. The race brought a new
worlds record for a five-heat trot, the
best previous time for such an event
having been made in Columbus in
1911 in a contest that Brace Girdle
won after Billy Burke had taken the
first heat and Hailworthy the second.
Unsteadiness of Mabel Trask gave
st. Frisco each of the first two heats
mare. a slight favorite over the Geers
horse, had a two length lead near the
end of the first mile, but surrendered
1t by a break. When ahead near the
close of the second heat she broke
when challenged by st. Frisco, who
came on eased up to win in 1908 4, the
fastest time made by a trotter any
where this season.

nual invitation tennis singles tourna-
ment was assured yesterday, when R.
Norris Williams, I'd, of Philadelphia,
the former national champion, who
won last years competition here, was
eliminated by the sweeping strokes of
Clarence ]. Griffin, of San Francisco.
To some extent the downfall of Will
liams was accounted for by a weak
ankle, which compelled him to play a
back court game. In ms sty'e of play
alone he was unable to meet the ac-
curate drives of the versatile Cali
fornian, who was able to place the ball
just where Williams, unable to move
rapidly, coud not reach it.

TARIFF MUST WAIT
Intelligent Revision at Present
Impossible.
Conditions That VIII Follow European
Conflict Will Have to Be Properly
Understood Before Work Can
Be Undertaken.

A majority of the members of the
Republican National committee, &C.
cording to a poll made by the Wash
ington correspondent of the New York
World, believe the tariff will be the
principal issue in 1916.
To the Republican organization the
tariff is naturally an appealing issue,
because the industries that demand
extortionate protection will be the
only source of a Republican cam.
paign fund. But how much of a popu-
lar issue is the tariff likely to be, and
how sharply are the rank and file of
the two parties likely to divide?
Until the war has ended and the
belligerent nations have begun their
economic reconstruction, there can be
no intelligent revision of the tariff.
II Elihu Root, Senator Gallinger, Sem
ator Lodge, Senator Penrose, Joseph
G.. Cannon, James r. Mann and Sen
ator Smoot were shut up in a room
and asked to prepare a tariff bill
which would meet all the Industrial
and revenue needs of the United
States after the war, they would be
helpless. Senator Underwood, Speak
er Clark and all the Democrats who
helped frame the Underwood-Simmons
tariff would be equally helpless. No
body knows; nobody can know.
Before the tariff can be revised in
diligently again, the American people
will have to discard most of their
parochial theories about imports and
face the issue frankly as a great ques-
tion in world economics. The United
States is nov in a position to hold a
commanding position in the worlds
trade, but it will not hold that position
long if it attempts to impose prohibit
tive duties on foreign imports. Dis
eliminating tariffs are a game that
two can play at. Great Britain, Ger
many, France, Russia, Italy and ia
pan can erect tariff walls as easily as
we can, and unquestionably will If we
try to close the American markets to
them. 1t is only by trading with us
that they can buy of us.
The Penn's Grove record., 1916-01-21
Matter to Be Reasoned.

There will be plenty of discussion
of the revenue proposals of Secretary
McAdoo; but it is likely that his plan
of pay as you go" will appeal to most
people and be accepted by congress.
The emergency that requires this
country to increase its revenue, say,
from a thousand to twelve hundred
millions of dollars a year is not one
that justifies issuing bonds. The bill
lion-a-year now spent is raised without
grave imposition on anybody. To add
two hundred millions to this sum would
not be seriously noticed. So far as
concerns the country's capacity to
pay, there need be no great worries,
but there is, Of course, room for dis
agreement about the precise methods
through which money is to be pro-
duced.
The Penn's Grove record., 1916-01-21
Tariff and Politics.

The tariff can be taken out of poll
tics when the protectionists cease
their agitation. The Democrats are
not literally free traders; a revenue
tariff will afford a considerable meas
ure of protection, and at present no
considerable number of persons urge
anything beyond that. If the protec-
tionists will cease their clamor for the
exclusion of foreign goods and will
allow a commission to fix duties with
reference to revenue and the costs of
production, the tariff can be taken out
of politics. But when President Taft's
tariff board made it's reports the pro-
~tectionists were no better pleased
with them than with a report from a
Democratic way and means commit
tee. They did not accept the commits
sion's report in 1888, or the report of
the Mann committee on paper and
pulp in 1908.

Plea for lnherItanee Tax.

The inheritance tax falls on wealth,
not or poverty. 1t takes from un-
earned wealth. it does not subtract a
penny from the legitimate gains of any
man. 1t is cheap and easy to collect.
1t is a SURE and bo%unteous revenue
producer. 1t is one of the greatest
weapons of Democracy in the never
ending fight against the growth of a
privileged caste.
Give US a national inheritance tax,
and stop pifling with gasoline and au-
tomobiles and bank checks and steel.

LAWYER FOR CHINAMEN

When a Philadelphia Chinaman
gets into trouble or wants to go to
law, he HES himself to the law office
of a woman, Miss A. Florence Yerger.
Miss Yerger has built up a large prac-
tice that mainly concerns big inter
ests, but she still finds time to attend
to the troubles of Cinnamon. She be-
came the confidante of Cinnamon
shortly after she began her practice.
and since then she has counseled and
advised many Mongolians.
1t was just by accident that Miss
Yerger became the legal representa-
tive Of the Cinnamon of Philadelphia.
1t was not because she was a woman
or because she made any effort to get
the Chinatown practice, but because
she had a property in West Philadel-
phia and rented it to a Chinese laun-
dryman. He started to go to her in
his troubles and brought his hundred
and one cousins, and it was not long
before the callers became very numer-
