Include Lona Staple Cotton

As we predicted immediately after the election it would do. congress Is about to enact emergency legislation for protection those American in dustries needing It. especially the farming industry many of whose products are feeling the effect of foreign competition Wool and wheat are those com moditios mentioned now engaging the attention of congress which proposes to amend the Underwood law as to those schedules imposing duties which will amount practically to an embargo and at the same timo avoiding the use of the word embargo" It is also proposed to strike the list the wood law which is an expression of the democratic party in favor of it's traditional policy
 Ut is to be hoped, also, that while congress is about t 1t will throw this temporary protection about the long staple cotton industry. That of course, Is not a wide indstry; it affect the whole coun- try but the part of that is affected is nightly Infected and so immediately affected, that only by prompt action can it be served. We have doubt that in the deliberations of congress concerning needed emergency legislation the long staple cotton industry win be ably and earnestly represented
 That it will be taken care of in the general revi- sion of the tariff there be doubt but there ,n he no general revision in the short session and perhaps revision cannot be completed in the special session. anyhow. that would not meet the situation of the long staple cotton growers that in which they will find themselves with the present crop unsold.
 Long staple cotton is a commodity for American tariff makers and menders. American cotton has never suffered to a great extent from competition in it's own market Its troubles have come from over production and sometimes from its inability to compete with world cotton in foreign markets. But long staple cotton is met in it's own market us an avalanche of cotton from Egypt. And what has come Is but small part what is waiting .. .ae.aesss at Alexandria to be sent to America.

The Eramework Is Sound

The statement dispatch yesterday morning that it is not revealed what position MT Coolidge took towards the preservation of the framework of the Versailles treaty the building a world peace treaty" indicates that at least the hope thought of making of the covenant as basis is entertained in some quarters And the negative state ment regarding the position of Governor Coolidge probably it's origin in belief that the vice president-elect believes that should be made of that basis.
 Before house is torn down. 1t is advisable to ascertain whether part of it may not be sal vaged; inquire what structural changes may be necessary. We have had inspection of the nant of the league of nations. Not only very large majority of the American people, but the delegates from forty-one nations who assembled at Geneva noted defects. not vital which may be re- moved without the destruction of the frame work. The world Is in better position than ever, profiting this inspection rebuild an ton to carry out the purposes-though they may have been too dream-like. of the who were gathered in the Hall of Mirrors
 Though they aware that their work like any other human work must disclose errors they provided for their correction within the League itself But way has been found to remove these defects otherwise and there to be a general disposi- tion that may be done. Even then the League may not be perfect organization; will not accomplish all that in spirit exaltaton we hoped it would but if 1t accomplish little that direction it will have been a beginning.
 There has been awakening to the necessity of world association for economic and commercial restoration and that itself will be guaranty if not complete one, of world peace. It will at least, minimize to some extent the chances of war.
 There believe, few Americans now who favor our aloofness from such an association; who would prefer superior isolation from the troubles of the world There apparently strong though majority sentiment against our asso- cation but that be traced to resentment against the particular form of association proposed by the president.
 That form has been definitely rejected We can hold no resentment against the dead. The country is now ready, think, to enter into a world com pact not for dreamy but benefits to all We do not believe that when tentative plan has been proposed, there will be found many irrecon- cilables in Amerca-many who will even entertain doubt of the accomplishment of the purposes of a world league.
 Such a league can easily make use of the skel- eton of the Versailles league there may be re- constructed an association mutual material benefits and not having the basis of an assumption that human nature has been changed or can be changed except by processes rvalng in slowness of those by which material worlds are built up and pass away

ABOUT A POEM

Unheralded and unsung there sleeps in Trinity cemetery, New York City Clement Clarke Moore American poet.
 Perhaps one doesn't remember Moore as he does these other notables Well, ought. For as the Christmas season rolls around millions fathers mothers will be teaching the children or repeating to them in the quiet of the evening poem that Moore wrote nearly a hundred years ago.
 It is "A Visit from St Nicholas" but it is much better known by its other title, Twas the Night Before Christmas. :" Remember it now? Certainly "Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not creature stirring, not even a mousse" Wonderful imaginative story in verse
 Moore wrote this fanciful tale in 1922 for the pleasure of his children. A year later the words were published anonymously and without the authors knowledge Moore lived a long life, 84 years but nothing he did brought him the fame, undying fame one might say, did these stanzas about Dunder and Blixen, St. Nick and his tiny reindeer who raced OCT the housetops only stopping when St. Nick refined up to hasten down chimney where good little boys or girls had hung up their stockings.
 Will ever there be written tale closer to little children at Christmas time than that of Moore?

COAST ALTITUDE
 RECORD SMASHED

The former altitude record of 19,- Meyerhoffer, made in San Diego in 1917 with an old type Curtsis plane equipped with an 80 H. P. motor, has been shattered. An altitude of 21 800 feet was made by Walter T. Varney, flying a Lincoln Standard airplane equipped with a 23S-horsepower His panO-SuiZa motor. This new Pacific Coast altitude record was made over the City of San Francisco.
 Varney Took off, at 10:01 o'clock attaining an altitude of 10000 feet on his first circle of the field. The fur ther series of circles took him out of sight of the spectators on the ground. His attempted altitude of 25,O0O feet failed on account of the intense cold and the rarity of the air. At 14,000 feet he began to feel the cold and the thermometer on the ship" registered six degrees below zero at the maxi mum heighth attained on this flight Varney's face and even his hands al though encased in fur gloves were blue with cold upon landing.
 While Varney reported he had diff culty in breathing at this great alti- tude he had no engine difficulty what ever. Varney used Red Grown Gaso- line and Zerolene lubrAcating oil. Un- der the normal conditions of the first stages of his flight he climbed at the rate of 1000 feet a minute, but at an altitude of 1S,000 feet the air was so thin that times the plane dropped 50 to 75 feet before catching hold and the speen was cut to 600 feet min ute.
 Varney did not attempt to break the record set by Major Schroeder who,
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1920-05-21

flying Le Pere, attained a heighth of 39, 900 feet. Major Schroeder on this great climb was equipped with oxygen tanks and apparatus and electric heat ed clothes: Varney plans another flight over San Francisco and expects to establish new altitude record for the Pacific Coast.
 Meyerhoffer, Chief Test Pilot for the Varney forces, also made a test flight and attained a heighth of 19, 500 feet which is 300 feet better than the rec ord he established three years ago.
