KINGS DAUGHTERS
CIRCLE HEARS AN
INTERESTING REPORT
Hospital Now Free From Debt
And Finely Equipped.

Gle of the Kings Daughters. on
Saturday afternoon was one OF the
most interesting ever held by the
devoted women of that splendid or
ganization Miss Mary Stribling
president Of the circle, presided and
a lG.ae membership was present.
A number of years ago ON &c.
count of the demand made for more
room and increased facilities, the
Kings Daughters Hospital was
completely rebuilt and enlarged
The improvements made at that
time called for Il large expenditure
of money and AS consequence an
indebtedness was incurred which
could not be met out of the ordin-
airy revenues OF the hospital Dur
ing the latter part of last year It
was decided by the Circle to ask
the friends of the hospital In the
city and county To pay off this in.
debtedness. Twenty thousand dol
lars was the amount needed. Mr.
Ward McLanahan and a splendid
corps of workers undertook The
task of securing this amount. How
we'll they succeeded was told in
the report of Mr.. Dudley Harley,
the efficient treasurer of the cam
paign, on Saturday afternoon last,
The report showed that pledges
Lad been secured to the amount Of
20,716.60. Of this amount $19,11S.50
Lad been paid leaving the sum OF
$1.5S910 still due. An extra effort
will be made TO have these pledges
paid at once so that all Of the OBJ
legations OF the hospital may be
met.
A resolution was adopted thank
ing Mr.. McLanahan and his work
ers, the treasurer. Mr.. Harley the
newspapers Of the city who SO ably
assisted In tn. publicity work Of
the campaign. and the generous
people 81 the city and county who
cave 80 freely Of their money to
help pay off this large indebted
ness.
The result of the campaign is a
modern hospital, free of indebted.
ness, equipped in every way 10 min
ister to the needs Of the sick and
suffering OF this community. The
building adjoining the hospital on
the east has been purchased and
will be remodeled and improved
and will be used as a home for the
nurses. Too much praise cannot be
given Nh MeLanahan and the noble
men and women who SO ably assist.

A PRoHIBITIVE TARIFF.

1T WAS by no mere inadvertence that Senator
/ Harding turned again to the tariff while touring
the iron and steel districts Of Ohio.
Senator Hardings advocacy Of steel protection is
an echo of the thoughts Of those who know precise
ly what they want and why they want IT.
Before the war Americas steel industry was in
sound condition. It had been developed to meet
the expanding needs Of the Nation. Natural re-
sources and invention Of labor-saving machinery
enabled the steel companies to underse foreign
competition in spite Of its lower labor costs
'' Consequently, the steel interests no longer re-
quired protection. Steel makers admitted this.
War changed the conditions. American steel con-
Germs made enormous profits, Five years witnessed
tremendous expansion Of manufacturing capacity.
The United States no longer needs all the product
OF its steel mills.
If this over-expanisd industry is to work to ca
pacity, its product must sell abroad.
So in the hope Of capturing the foreign market
and keeping the mills busy the manufacturers are
manoeuvring for protection
To-day American steel interests are able 10 I'M
dsrsell foreign competitors in their own field. Amer
lean steel is selling in Europe.
AiiSll WHY VIC hNNu WI llDllNlOu
Here IS the plan. American steel masters do not
fear foreign competition IN AMERICA They can
continue to underssll British Belgian, German and
French steel at home But with cheaper labor
abroad, American steel makers fear the foreign man.
ufadwers, favored as they are by high shipping
rates from America may recover their home mar
kets in Europe. II this happens, not all the Amsri-
can mills can work to capacity
In that case an American "prohbitive" tariff
would prove convenient. American manufacturers
could then raise prices at home and sell below cost
abroad.
In other words, the American consumer is to pay
to keep all the mills running is to finance a steel
price war in the world market American con-
sinners are to pay high prices to enable Europe to-
bay at low prices.
Is such a tariff worth while2
!. While America needs homes, can we afford to
have a prohbitve tariff which will enable steel
makers to set their own prices here and their own
prices abroad?

Nobody is going take you at your valuation

What he really thinks is that he is little better than
anybody else, when matter of fact most of the people
he meets his mental superiors.
1t a fine thing TO be independent and selfreliant,
but being selfsufficient is not being either.
independence ought TO be based the absolute knowl
edge that you know business and able 10 think

Even the independent in the world get
valuable ideas from others If he amounts TO anything he
does get these ideas and them.
If he is wrapped up in his vanity that he

The self assured, self-suffcient is merely dull
fool who deceivcs nobody but himself.
His complacency is based nothing substantial.
His selfsatsfacon prevents him from trying improve,

Wadswofh has proved to be a composite Of III:
two types with all Of the weaknesses Of both and
none Of the virtues Of either
Mr. WaiSworh has sided with The mighty
against the many as consistently as any Of the
Elder Statesmen. Yet intellectually and in innu-
ence he is on a par with the lesser of the new
type Senators sent to represent the grangers Of the
agrarian States.
Now is New York's first opportunity to recify
this mistake Il should not neglect the opportunity

HELP MIR. RILEY.

IRON day to day The Evening World reports
4 the efforts oFMr, Armin w. Riley to reduce
the cost Of food in restaurants For the last few days
Mr.. Riley has been announcing the location of res
taurants which have agreed to lower prices.
The public can help by patronzng those who
are amenable to Mr. Rileys suggestion. The public
can help by staying away from those who persist
in keeping prices up.
II the restaurants where prices are lowered are
kept full Of the former customers of the gouging
restaurants, it is highly probable that the gougers
will reconsider.
Instead Of telling Mr.. Riley, The Evening World
reporters and the public that 1--WE CAN'T cut
prices" they will commence to tell each other 1--WE
MUST cut prces"-and then the thing will be done.
The public has the final say it will only exer-
else the privilege.

NOT IN FIFTY YEARS.

= ON COXS telegram to Mr.. Root IS another
~ straight challenge to the cumulative msrep.
reseniaton with which Republican leaders have
tried to bolster their campaign.
Mr. Root said in his Carnegie Hall speech:
'Hdr Cox declared that no will insist upon tho
treaty Just "a Mr. Wilson negotiated H."
Gov. Cox points out that this statement does not
accord with facts which must be plain to any one
who has read his speeches.
The Democratic candidate reiteraes what he has
said repeatedly;
Il will accept reservations that will clarity.
that win be helpful, that will reassuro the Am
orican people, and that as a matter Of good
faith will clearly state TO our associates in the
League that Congress and Congress alone has
the right TO declare war. and that our Constl-
tuition sets up limits in legislation or treaty
making beyond which we cannot 60
Il have stated further, that will accept res
ervatons from any source which are offered
in sincerity and with a desire 10 be helpful"
In plain TRUTH Mr.. Roots statement does not
square with the Presidents own attitude as to the
acceptance of the treaty just as he negotiated it,"
The President has over and over again declared
himself ready to accept interpretations which do not
weaken or distort the fundamental purpose of the
covenant
Referring to Article X, the President assured
Senator Hitchcock seven months ago:
There can be no objection to again explain
ing what our constitutional method is and that
our Congress alone can declare war or de-
termine the occasions for war; and
that Il alone can authorize the use of tho
armed forces Of the United States on land or
on the sea-"
Senator Lodge himself could not have defined
the powers Of Congress IN this direction with greater
accuracy or forte.
Yet, for Republican purposes, Il IS necessary to
keep up the illusion that the President and the DEM
ocratic candidate are both for a covenant which
overrides the Constitution Of the United States and
that they insist upon that covenant without the
dottng Of an a" or the crossing of a."
Gov. Cox says the people of the United States
"want truth in this campaign"
If So the Republican Party is earning reputa-
ton for lying hypocrisy that It can never live down
in this generation.
