Starvation Tariff Profits.

Secretary Redfeld of the depart
ment of commerce has drawn from
the hosiery manufacturers Of the
Schuylkill valley in Pennsylvania a
strong outburst of righteous indigna-
ton by asserting that they are max
ing a profit of IL per cent. AS a
statement of fact this does not seem
to meet objection. But as a sugges-
ton that IL per cent is enough it
causes al uproar. No manufacturer
in any line of business" says n Of
them, really considers IL per cent a
fair profit"
Most businesses outside of the tar
if wards of the nation have to be sat
isf1ed with an average profit of some
thing like one-half of II per cent,
whether they want to be satisfied or
not, But industries able to put the
government back of them with a tariff
of from so to 100 per cent have not
usually needed to be satisfied with a
beggarly six per cent, and they do
not intend to be satisfied as long as
there is a chance open of keeping the
SONSlulA0AC WAOAO IAOy nave udu IL.
Twelve per cent with them is not even
a fair minimum. 1t is only the point
above which reasonable profits begin
and below which starvation and ruin
prevail.
The secretary Of commerce might
as we'll give up. His attempt to deal
with the tariff question on the assump-
ton that IL per CEN profits ought to
be good enough for any beneficiary is
a failure. There is no science" in it.
1t is all starvation.

FUSION NOT LIKELY
Republicans and Real Progress
Sives Wide Apart.
Big interests, Real Rulers of G. o. p,
of Course, Desire It, but There
Are Many Obstacles to Be
Overcome.

Boiled down to its bones of meaning,
the declaration Of principles" issued
by certain progressive chiefs means
that they are willing to come back in
to the Republican party, if they can
choose the candidate and get front
seats in the band wagon. Considering
that the Republican party has been
gaining in strength in nearly every
part of the country while the Progress
siye organization is well nigh dis
solved, this is about as comprehensive
a bluff as n can find in political his
tory.
Most commentators on the program
see n great difficulty in the way of
dts fulfllment. The Journal sees two
diff culties, and the one generally over
looked seems the greater.
The old guard of the Republican
party will resent this attempt al die
tation, of course, but there may be
ways of modifying their resentment.
For the most part, the old guard takes
its orders from the big interests, and
these interests want to seat their man
In the White House, no matter what
political gymnastics it may take to
accomplish that feat.
Give them back their old tariff graft
and assure them favorable treat
ment" in letting the contracts which
are necessary to the new program of
national defense, and they care not
a jot for the crime of the Coliseum
II Roosevelt can satisfy them on these
lines, he can have their support and
that of all their henchmen.
But there is another obstacle to the
fusion plan not SO easily removed. A
considerable part of the rank and file
of the Progressive party were and are
dead in earnest. They left the Repub-
lican party On a question of principle
and they will not come back to it on
a program of plumber. At the last
by-election in Massachusetts,, nearly
half the vote lost by P~rogressives
went to the Democratic candidate, in,
stead of to the Republican me-, and
a similar tendency has been shown IL
other parts of the country.
There are some votes which no boss
can deliver, and these make the big
barrier to the fusion plan so glibly out
lined by self-appointed Progressive
leaders.-Chicago Journal.

Country viii Not Scare.

AS a warning against industrial
overbuilding on the basis either of
present war business or what is ex-
pected from ravaged and poverty
stricken Europe after the war, the
statement Of Chairman Gary of the
United States Steel corporation is well
placed. But as an attempt to scare
the country into a lot of r~eactionary
legislation, tariff and other. to meet
p~ost-bellum conditions. which neither
he nor anyone else can now confident
ly know anything about, it is not
likely to carry far. The politics of

KERN ADVISES LEWIS

Washington has been laughing

Although the Illinois statesman is
recognized as the arbiter and final au-

of the Hoosier senator, whose paint
brush whiskers are his only sartorial
pride.
Shall I wear a dress suit, or is it
to be informal?" Senator Lewis wired.

CHURCHILL AS A SOLDIER

Winston Churchill, who retired
from the British cabinet to resume the
army life which he loves, has been
advanced to the rank of major. AS a
boy, Mr.. Churchill was fond of military
study. His chief recreation in his
Harrow days was fencing. He won
the schools championship, and pass
ing from Harrow to Sanitarst he en-
tered the Fourth Hussars. He joined
his regiment, the Queens Own Oxford
shire Hussars. MI. Churchill has had
experience in five previous campaigns.
He served with the Spanish forces
in Cuba, then with the Punjab in
fantry with the Mainland field force,
being mentioned in dispatches, after
wards as orderly tt Sir w. Lockhart

European-built clothes, a Brazilian en-
