THE TARIFF AND COTTON.

The protective tariff is now III
subject for discussion, considering the
fact that the Republican party is to
cause it to be raised materially. For
the tariff is one of the keystones OF
American politics and has been SO
since the Civil War. aSome say it is
lthe, football of politics-kicked up
when the republicans get into power
and kicked down when the democrats
are in power.
The sugar planters of Louisiana
have had tariff ideas that conceded
with other tariff ideas in the south
but of late years have allowed them
to be somewhat revised. AS rule
they favor heavy tariff on Cuban
.sugar-and on all other sugar that is
imported. Such a tariff will protect
their own sugar. Probably. as regards
other products, the Louisiana sugar
sprowers are satisfied to have low
tariff. Such is human nature.
In Florida there is an agitation
afoot to demand high protective
tariff on peanuts, which is Florida
product of considerable prominence
It is pointed out that Canada, which
is not a producer Of peanuts, imposes
a duty of two cents a pound, whlle
the United States, which is capable
OF producing all the peanuts 'consum-
ed in this country, imposes an impost
duty, of only half cent a poano,
Florida growers, therefore, say they
-,rp facing competition with peanuts
from the Orient, where millions OF
n.unds are being raised for the Amer
lean market.
! The California lemon market is In
the same fix. Lemons from otner
countries are flooding the country II
in said, to the detriment OF the locai
lemon industry, so that California
Growers are initimating that uncle
Sam is being handed too much OIL
lemon. ~
But unfortunately for the southern
cntton r Ter the south produces

ed cotton goods means that If we snip

LEYGUES Will CONFER
WITH LLOYD GEORGE
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Nov. 25.-Premier George
Leygues left for London this morning
at 9:45' O'Clock. While in that city
he will confer with Premier Lloyd
George of Great Britain relative to
questions arising to recent Greek cleo
ton, the Russian situation and prob
lens relative to the Near East.
There are indications that the meet
ing of the French and British premiers
may assume a more important aspect
than was contemplated by their orig
inal plans. Former Premier Venizlos
of Greece is said by the Matin to be
planning to hurry his trip northward
from tally to participate in the conver-
sations in London and the same news
paper declares Premier Giolitti will
also take part.
An Athens dispatch states that Pre-
mier Rhallis has declared that if al
lied premiers hold a meeting, a rep
resentative of the Greek government
would attend to explain the real sig
nificance of recent events in that
country.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25-Bootlegging
in New York was dealt a severe blow
To-day by the announcement of
Charles r. O'Conner, federal prohibi-
tion director for this state, that plans
have been laid to officially check every
drop of liquor from it's withdrawal
from the bonded warehouse to the ul.
innate consumer. An intricate sys-
tenn of checks and balances has been
devised for coordination of the work
of various enforcement agents, he
said, making efforts to divert liquor
to beverage purposes increasingly diff
ficult and dangerous"
If it is found, he said. that any
liquor Withdrawn is so diverted, per.
mits issued to the offender for with
drawal will be revoked, all remaining
stock confiscated and an assessment
of an additional tax of $3.50 per
gallon levied aside from the legal pro-
ceedings for violation of the eigh
teerth amendment.

Last September Jurge William 4.

all claims against the Farmers bank
must be filed with the receiver with

At the time he issued the order Judge
Bond indicated that he would expect a

creditors following the time designat.
ed for the filing of claims. He also
indicated that the court was not con-
cerned as to the arrangements made

holders and alleged bondsmen of Kir-
lin to settle between themselves. The

the claim.
1t is reported that the indicated
shortage of s125,0O0 does not take
into consideration the personal estate
of Oscar NJ. Kirlin, which can be ap-
piled against the shortage. This es-
tate has not been settled Much OF
the estate consists of industrial stocks.
The administrator of the estate in an
inventory he has filed, lists some Of
this stock as valueless, and much of
it being worth considerably less than
par. He estimates the value of the
estate, with stock holdings figured at
market values, to be approximately
$4,000.

few more weeks of rest, and then he
will be as we'll as ever"

GRECIAN INTERVENTION
NOT FOR ITALY, REPORT
(Fy Associated PresS)

ROME, Nov. 24.-If France and
England decide to intervene in Greece,
Italy must stand aloof in order to re-
main faithful to the principle of self
determination says an article publish
ed by the Messagero, it being stated
here that the article was evidently in
spired." 1t says Italy must respect
this principle upon which her foreign
rolicy is based, and that, in addition,
she is not among the powers which in
1882 became protectors of that coun-
try. Therefore she has not right to
intervene in the dynastic affairs of that
nation.
Italy cannot agree to intervention"
the article continues, "and cannot vio-
late the will of Greece for the return
of Constantine, which probably will
be confirmed by the coming referend-
um. Any action against Greece would
agree neither with the interests nor
sentiments of Italy and therefore this
country will rot join England and
France, as she did not participate in
the situation which resulted in 1917
in the fight of Constantine from his
capital"

ARMED CONFLICT IS
NARROWLY AVERTED
BETWEEN POLES, REDS

WARSAW, Nov. 24-Armed con-
flict between Polish forces and Boil
shevik troops which have reached the
Polish frontier along the Zbrucz river
was narrowly averted yesterday when
the Bolsheviki began a bombardment
of the town of Podwoloczyska, about
25 miles east of Tanopol. Polish mill
tary authorities protested against the
bombardment which caused the
deaths of five persons and serious in
jury of 16 others.
The Poles were preparing to attack
the Bolsheviki when the lombard
ment stopped and the soviet COM
mander sent a delegation to the town,
explaining the place was fired upon
because of a misunderstanding. The
Bolsheviki believed the place was east
of the armistice line and in the hands
of the Ukrainians.
Gen. Permykin's Russian army.
which has attempted to cooperate with
Simon Petlura's Ukranians, has vir-
tually been destroyed. it is said in
dispatches from Tarnapol and the
Bolsheviki have reached the eastern
bank of the Zbruca, along its entire
length. Reports also indicate that
Petlura's army commanded by Gen.
Pavlenko, has been wiped out. More
than $4,000 fugitives from these
armies have recently crossed the Pol
ish frontier, and have been disarmed
by the Poles and sent to various in
ternment camps.
