By HOLLAND

New York. May 22.-(Special)-A year
 ago, Warren c. Harding, at that time senator-elect to succeed Theodore F. Burton of Ohio in the federal senate,
 took part in the proceeding of the Ma tional Association of Manufacturers at
 the annual meeting in this city. Senator
 Harding's associations, political and
 business, with leaders in Anerican in dustries entitled him to the place which he really held in that gathering, in one sense, as it's guest of honor.
 | On the closing day of the annual meet l ing of this association in New York Thursday of last week-the senator's | friends in that body were much inter- ested in the conspicuous publication of report from Washington which inti- mated that Senator Harding might be the dark horse of the republican na- tional convention which is to be held in Chicago in June. Recalling the sen- ator's earnest comments a year ago,
 some of the manufacturers, possibly all of them, are persuaded that should Il happen that he comes forth from the convention of which he has been chosen
 temporary chairman, as it's candidate for
 the presidency, it is certain that so far as he can control the canvass the prir
 cipal issue will be that of wise and fair protection to American industries.
 A year ago, the senator stated frankly
 that he could not tell with any accu- racy what he might be called upon to say and do after he took his seat in the Senate on the first Monday in Decem- Der, 1915. His friends might be assured,
 however, that he would neglect no op- portunity, should any come, to proclaim his belief that a wise protective tariff must be placed upon the statute books, and, furthermore, that American ship ping interests must be stimulated, not by government control, but by private ini- tiative, since in order to maintain suc- cessfully a good tariff schedule and to protect our trade it is vital that our merchant marine be restored.
 This year the National Association of American Manufacturers did not give so much time to the consideration of the tariff question as to certain other sub jects which are deemed to be of great importance This was not because the
 tariff, in view of the manufa cturers, is no longer an important issue but be- cause the manufacturers have no doubt that a great body of the voters do now believe that there should be changes in the tariff, especially changes of a kind which will prevent the dumping of Flu ropean manufactured commodities in the United States after the European war Is ended and also the kind which will stimulate domestic industries, like the dye and the potash industries.

NATIONAL REGULATION

The representative body of American manufacturers appears to have accepted as sound the recommendations which the advisory committee of the railway ex- ecutives will make to a subcommit- tee of Congress should the House agree to the resolution which creates a joint subcommittee. The subcommittee is to inquire into the efficiency of the inter state commerce commission and to rec ommend changes in its constitution and in method of regulating railroads, pro- vided its investigations justify such ac- tion.
 The advisory committee of the rail- way executives of which Frank Trumbull is chairman, which is a voluntary as- sociatlon that pays no salaries except to a secretary, will recommend that the federal government become the one mas ter power so far as the regulation of railroads engaged in interstate conn merce is concerned This recommenda- tion the manufacturers association cor dially indorses So, also, the associa- tlon is in agreement with the railway advisory committee that it will be worth While to divide the interstate commerce commission, one body having investi- gating powers solely, the other body the power to fix rates and to consider other financial aspects of the entire subject The manufacturers association has not yet formally indorsed another recommen- dalton which the advisory committee of the railroads will make, namely: federal control of railway securities Neverthe- less, the manufacturers association doubtless will indorse that.
 ! The association heartily approves the statements which were made by Charles Nagel, who was secretary of commerce and labor in President Taft's cabinet. MT Nagel spoke earnestly for federal ircorpora tion of corpora tions believing that this would be one of the most inn portant steps in the direction of pre- paredness and the coordination and mobilization of industries in case there were needed protection

At a few minutes after seven he
stood before a door in, a tenement

poorly dressed, she was Enthusiastically

Good evening, Mrs. Kimball, said
Randall roughly. "Tm Mr.. Randall,

The woman stared at him in terror.
'Pm-Pm not Mrs. Kimban," she
stammered, and ran back into the
apartment. Randall heard her sob

Then he was aware Of a tiny figure
at his side, and the little girl was
looking up into his face.

was almost dark inside, but he heard
the woman sObbing at the side of the
man who lay there. She rose and
turned and faced him.

with simple dignity.
And in the dark Randall, incredu-

PRICE VARIATIONS.

Ii is a fact that comes strikingly to light when we begin to examine certain definite phenomena in the economic world, that since the time of Adam Smith the economists have approached the subject with minds immersed in old metaphysical con- cepts and carried on investigations exclusively confined to generaliza- tions and abstract ideas.
 Accordingly it is utterly impossible with the aid of economic science to ascertain with accuracy the causes for high prices, and they remain almost as much in the realm of con lecture as they did when Smith first wrote "The Wealth of Nations.
 It is quite true that price, ab- stract price, has been subjected to very comprehensive examination, as have such abstract ideas as value and so forth. But concrete varia- tions in price. and the importance ot the matter is beyond dispute, are un.

can they take proper steps to lower them.
 Almost all the economists who en. joy university salaries differ in de- tail as to the cause of high prices just now, and their assistance would be of little use to befuddled legisla tors.
 But what we do know is this that capitalism has been slowly making more and more perfect it's scheme of economic anarchism, and that being the case an economic chaos is just the result which might have been expected.
 It rests in the artificial right of men to traffic ill human need and in the satisfaction of human want; it is a condition which has resulted in evitably from foisting upon society scheme of things where not hu- man welfare but individual profits is the handspring of productive and distributive activities.
 It would be really very hard for rational being to consider those activities reasonable which are ac- tually engaged solely in gambling upon the food of the nation. And the homilies delivered against the Chicago Board of Trade and the wheat gamblers show that this fact is readily realized when little thought is given it. What is not re- cognized is that this condition of traffic is however quite general, and it is the special function of the mid dleman not to grasp profits from the consumer, but to aid the producing owner of factories to realize the unpaid labor of his productive plants.
 That's a much harder nut to crack Most every one sees clearly the fact that the consumer is rob- bed. As a matter of fact he is not. The robbery begins with the labor which is not paid on articles pro- duced. And it is because labor pro- duces more than it is paid that it so hired. It is because it is poss- ible to rob a man of four-ffths Of the product of his labor that the owner of the tools and machinery ot production puts him to work. He is the man who feels it coming and going, and he is the only commo- dity-owner whose commodity shows no tendency to rise and is sluggish in the market under all conditions: the worker and his la borrower.
 Yet we have noted in a survey of prices that those maintain the stead- jest which are unified or trustified as to control. When labor does the same thing and ill each industry or ganizes it's only saleable commodity, then will conditions for labor be different also.

A HOLY CONVENTION.

Every year at the close of the good old summer time, and the flow CTS are whitening on their stalks while the seeding ripens in the field, there is convoCation of the Episco- pal church in the United States and they gather together to legislate for their church and to consider the policies which may with wisdom be adopted They pray for enlighten- ment very prudently, although that their prayers are always answered deponent sayeth not.
 One interesting feature of these ecclesiastical gabfests is the fact that annually there arises some oI the Lords officially annointed to protest that the Church is losing it's hold of the people.
 That seems calamity indeed, al- though the people whose person has been freed from the grip, might think otherwise.
 However these men who are so concerned at the loss of fructifying power on the part of the church agi- tate a larger sympathy with labor. and there is where they face the economic opposition of the leaders within the Church. One reverend gentleman said that the church had identified itself with privilege and for that reason the unprivileged masses were leaving it's fold.
 It is many long day since that charge was first levelled at the priests and hierarehs Of the human religions. Away back in the dim and distant past long before theo- logy had become so simply compl- cated as today, the people complain ed of exactly the same thing.
 It has happened in almost every rite that this charge is preferred against the priesthood and upheld by the facts.
 Yet it is reasonable that this should be so. Privilege and power are identical terms. And because the privileges enable the powerful to control there has been a tendency upon the part of ecclesiastical power to line up with those in au- thority Thereby was order main taned. Thereby were customs especially superstitious customs. crystalized, and the control shared hy the priesthood who became the buttresses of privilege. It was so under feudalism. It is so under capitalism. New systems of thought provoke no such attack as from the eccleGiaStics. It was so in the early days of christianity and it is so in it's later days.
 So it is very significant that there should be this complaint that the Church is losing it's prestige among the masses. There is a reason for that It is partly within the church itself, but mainly among the masses. | There iS tendency to divest mo- l dern sacerdotalism of it's sacro-sanct ! nature which it has so long laid | claim to.
