THE WISE
WORKMAN
VIII Look to the Future and Vote
the Protection Ticket
This Year

The policy OF Protection is desig-
mated to give our manufacturers first
consideration in our home market.
II the foreigners wish to enter our
market they must pay rates of duty
measured by the difference between
the very low wages paid by them to
labor and the wages we pay to our
workmen.
That they are willing to do this to
a reasonable extent is proved by the
fact that Republican Tariff laws, with
out injuring American industries and
putting laboring men out of employ
ment, have been uniformly adequate
revenue producers. They have given
our wcrkmen Jobs and have not sub.
tracted from the pay checks by levy
ing direct taxes.
,, The Democratic argument of goods

vailing difference in labor costs. Let
the foreigners take our goods and
balance the account with cash. The

IL American manufacturers can be
assured of the home market they can
proceed confidently to the conquest
of foreign markets. This means that
they can keep the mills going at full
blast. Keep labor continuously en-
ployed and the resulting higher eff.
cheney will mean better wages and
bigger dividends and thousands OF

ALIEN COLONIES

A correspondent writing to New
York newspaper expresses FEAR Of
the non-English speaking colonies
that grow up in so many places.
With their foreign language papers,
and heaSing almost no English spo-
ken, they are very separate from
American life. This writer sees
danger in this condition. He would
break up these nests OF alien con-
gestion. This Of course would seem
arbitrary and autocratic under our
froe~soil.
Yet all Is not well in these Little
Italys and Little Polands and Little
Hungarys that are growing up in so
many places. Often these newcom-
ers have been educated at home in
schools OF grades similar to our high
schools and colleges. But II they
cannot receive the simplest kind Of
instruction in English, they are help
less. Hence the abnormal sight OF
many we'll educated men digging
bitches.
The foreign language papers could
do n great deal for these people II
they would. Ignorance of English is
the great obstacle in their way. Why
could not these papers make a point
of running in each issue little sec.
tions of English lessons? These
should not follow the lines OF our
school reading books, one purpose OF
which is to arouse cultivated lit
erary taste. They should deal with
the simplest phases of our life, max
ing change at stores, taking orders
in factory or household, dealing
with customers In retail trade.
In a foreign speaking colony, wag'
es are low and the children are gen
orally taken out OF school as soon
as the law allows, to help support
the family. The youngsters leave
study too early to gain any idea of
our civic ideas. Their parents can
answer no questions on these points.
The children will grow up able to
read and write, and will become vot-
ers. But they have no conception
of our institutions and are not max
ing good start in citizenship. They
need education as well as the chill
dren, and the foreign language paper
is the agency that could do 1t.

THE MOST DARING
BOY IN AMERICA

In the American Magazine appear
ed the story Of Art Smith, the only
aviator who loops the loop by night,
who succeeded Beachey at the Pana-
ma Exposition last summer and won
an international reputation by his
feats OF daring.
Five years ago Smith was an Of
fee boy in Fort Wayne, Indiana. he
persuaded his father to mortgage his
home for the money to build an aero
plane. He built the aeroplane birn.

THE SPICE OF DANGER

1t was typical incident at tn,
Sheepshead Bay Speedway, New
York, few days ago, when Car
Limberg and his mechanician, who
were competing in an automobile
race, were killed while speeding 1O4
miles an hour. The news story says
the enthusiasm of the crowd was
dampened. Yet II there had been no
danger in this competition. 1t is
doubtful IL any crowd OF $4,000 peo
pie would ever have put in an ap
pearance.
There Is love nthe human mind
for seeing people do perilous things.
Circus stunts like tight rope walk.
ing are as old as history, and have
always drawn a crowd. Would peo-
pie ever turn out to see them II the
rope we're stretched two feet from
the ground? Just as much technical
skill would be called for in that
case. But The element Of control OF
nerves would be missing.
This is largely what the crowd
comes to see.
For many years balloon ascensions
we're the most popular attraction at
the county fairs. Today their place
has been taken by aviation which
satisfies the same demand. The
public enjoys seeing daring men
flirt with death. II wants them to
win out in this competition with the
elements, but 1t insists that there
be no Sinking OF risks. The fact
that the air is squally and full OF
'pockets' does not excuse the await
or in the minds of the crowd, from
falling to make his flights. Yet his
safe return under these conditions
may be very dubious.
It Is often remarked that the law
should stop perilous exhibitions like
automobile racing. Yet IL the racers
were stopped on the speedway, they
would risk their necks on the public
roads. where they would endanger
many others beside themselves. They
would enjoy taking these chances,
and no doubt do 1t for love Of the
sport quite as much as for money.
This is an age Of morbid fears. 1t
il rather refreshing in a time of so
many extreme PRECAUTIONS to see GER
tain types Of people who can put
aside all timidity in the face Of
death.

TOWN BEAUTIFUL MOVEMENT

There Is too much Of the spirit to-
day of, Let George do it. There is
too little willingness to take hold and
cooperate personally in attempts at
civic Improvement.
The pioneers made their place beau.
tiful by getting out with spade and
watering pot. and planting whole
>rows Of trees along the streets. They
ere amply repaid, in enjoyment of
tAe beauty they created, and in bet
I'd value OF real estate. Nowadays
u Us is left to public officials. Instead
df getting out themselves and plant
ing trees. citizens will call up the
proper official and ask him why he
hoes not set out something on their
streets.
improvements that have to wait on
public funds wait long. The appro-
priation is usually exhausted. and
politicians see other uses for money.
Neatness Is not exactly beauty,
but there can be no beauty without
neatness. Every piece of paper set
adrift, every heap OF rubbish, lowers
the tone of a town, and helps create
the spirit of disorder. People are
governed by the influence of neigh
bors. II one man cleans up and
\paints up the spirit of Improvement
sweeps through the whole street. II
he let's things go ragged, his neigh
bors fall, easily into the slovenly hab'
it OF letting well enough alone.
Town beauty is not created by
elaborate mansions OF choicely de-
signed business blocks. It Is made
by the transplanting and careful
tending of green foliage and flowers
within town limits, by elimination of
eye sores, by good taste in building
and removal of disorder. Logan has
done much along this line, but there
are many things to be achieved to
enable 1t fully to realize the ideal OF
the Town Beautiful.

viscount Middleton Describes What
He Did to Call Attention Of
Authorities to Them

London, May 22.-7At the continue.
tion today Of the royal commissions
inquiry into the Irish revolt, Wis.,
count Middleton described the action
which he said he had taken to bring
the activities OF the Sim Feiners to
the attention of the Irish authorities
before the outbreak.
He said he had conferred with Au.
gustine Birrell, then chief secretary
for Ireland, and had strongly urged
that the national volunteers be dis.
armed. On February 20, Mr.. Birrell
had written him letter In which the
following occurred:
ITO proclaim the Irish volunteers
an illegal body and put them down
by force would in my opinion, be
reckless, foolish act and promote dis
loyalty to prodigious extent"
Preceding vfscount Middleton, Mr..
Birrell was Intercepted regarding
conferences at which, according to
his previous testimony, he had ask.
ed for more troops to be sent to Ire
land. A letter written by Major Gen
eral McReady Of the adjutant gener-
ais staff, was read. 1t said the con-
ferences had reference to recruiting
and that the proposal was that troops
be sent to various parts Of Ireland
to encourage men to join the colors.
Mr.. Birrell said he was surprised
to hear he had omitted to mention
at the conference the necessity Of
sending troops to Dublin. He certain
ly had done so, he declared in in

THE CHOICE OF A COLLEGE

As the school year draws to its
close, many parents intending to
send children to college are anxious
" considering the advantages of va
rious institutions. The question
whether It shall be a large or a small
college is one of the vital issues.
The big college Is usually more
prosperous. can afford better equip
ment and 1t pays higher salaries for
it's faculty. II is claimed that even
their lesser grade OF instructors av'
erage up well with the average pro-
lessor of the small college. Mean
while the large college employs for
its more responsible posts, the pick
Of the educators of the country
These are men of scintillating br(
liancy. able to make their subjects
fascinating to young people. The
students OF the large classes do not
come closely into contact with these
men. But they hear their lectures
and their minds are broadened.
In favor of the small college, IL IS
argued that the boy comes into a
closer personal contact with the
teaching force. The professors may
not average as high in ability, but
they are fine type of men. They
know the boys more intimately and
give them closer attention.
II boys have unusual gifts, they
make themselves felt anywhere. II
they can't make the varsity ball
team. they can perhaps get on the
class or house nine. II they do not
succeed in athletics, they may win a
place on the college papers or In
debating Or music. There are wide
lines of opportunity open.
Boys of a more reticent type, hay'
ing no particular social graces or
athletic or scholastic ability, are Of
