AN "EMBARGO"
ON WOOL

An embargo" is a prohibition of
the sailing of ships from the ports of
the country establishing the embargo,
Or possibly of sending out certain
products which might be carried in
such ships. For convenience, the
term has come to be applied to in
ternal movements when ~transporta-
ton becomes congested, but its prop
er use is strictly confined to outward
movements. 1t would be a great re-
lief to editors having some respect
for the American language If those
whose proposals require discussion
would stop using the word embargo
as applied to inward movements.
When the secretary of the National
Wool Growers Association says that
it is proposed to ask Congress to
place an embargo on foreign wool"
what the gentleman means. as appears
from the context. is that Congress
is to be asked to place a duty on wool.
Wool has been on the free list since
December /, 1913, when that para
Sidpn VI TIC DcLlOC dtiC lICc tlduc
tariff went into effect. That tariff
act was signed by President Wilson,
and would doubtless have been voted
for by Governor Cox had he not
slipped out of Congress just in time
to say he never did 1t. Under the
Democratic platform he stands for
keeping wool on the free list.
Under the Republican protective
tariff, which was superseded by the
Wilson-Cox tariff, the duty was eleven
and twelve cents a pound on wool in
the grease, which was satisfactory to
the wool growers of that day. al
though nor may be necessary now.
We do not doubt hal the wool
growers of the country fully under
stand that the only way by which they
can ever get wool off the free list Is
to elect Harding President and a Re-
publican Senator for every vicinity
That in this state "a Tasker l.

Citizens who will choose in the No
vember election whether they want a
Democrat or a Republican elected in
the next congress in their districts
should understand just what a Demo-
cratic congress will mean, particu-
larly in the personnel of the COM
mittee chairmanships.
If a Democratic house Is elected in
November it means that the chairman
ships of all the great and important
committees, seventeen in number, VIII
be headed by Democrats, all from the
South, instead of Republicans from
every section of the country. Every
important Republican chairman will
be supplanted by a Democrat. Five
Southern states in 1916 cast less votes
than the single state Of Illinois.
II a Democratic congress is elected
in November Champ Clark OF Mis-
souri,, or Claude Kitchin of North
Carolina, will be speaker, instead of
the scholarly Gillett. Gillett worked
in congress like a Trojan for the sue
cess Of the United States In the world
war. Clark and Kitchin opposed war
measures and particularly the draft
law. Clark stated on the house floor
that a conscript was no better than
a convict. Do the people want a
speaker like Clark or Kitchin?
The American navy will soon be.
and must be, the most powerful in the
world. The Republican chairman OF
the house naval affairs committee il

Representative Butler of Pennsylvania
an ardent advocate of an adequate
navy. If the next congress is Demo
cratic the chairman of naval affairs
will be Representative Padgett OF
Tennessee, a Southerner who believes
in a little navy" policy, and showed
it when he was chairman before.
Should the first line of defense" be
entrusted to a Padgett?
If the next house is Democratic
Kitchin, if not speaker, will be chair
man of the immensely powerful ways
and means committee. The ways and
means committee drafts the taxation
and tariff bills. Do the people want

ager of that ? When the Democrats
have been in control Of congress they
invariably favored in taxation and
tariff matters their own section, to the
detriment of the remainder of the
country. If the next congress is DEM
ocratic one Southern state-Tenessee
will supply the chairman for appro-
priations, navy, p%ostofice and post
roads and insular affairs.
If the November elections return a
Democratic congress-, the great house
military affairs committee will be
headed by a Democrat instead of Rep
resentative Kahn, Republican of Cali
fornia, the man who put through the
draft bill in the house in the war
congress when the then chairman of
the military committee, Democratic
Representative Dent, actually brought
in a report against the bill. The peo-
pie of Alabama in the last primaries
repudiated Dent. But some other
Democrat just as much a p~acifist as
Dent would become chairman of the
military affairs committee. The army
saved the Republic in the world war.
There may be other wars. Do the peo-
pie want a strong patriot like Kahn to
remain as chairman of the military
affairs committee, or some Democrat.
who may be a pacifist like Dent?
If the senate is Democratic in the
next congress the very important ap-
preparations committee, will be
headed by Senator Overman. of North
Carolina. another Bourbon from the
solid South" He would replace
Senator Warren of Wyoming a hero of
the Union army of the Civil War.
The powerful finance committee
would be headed by Senator Simmons
of North Carolina. another Bourbon
southerner, instead of Senator Pen
rose of Pennsylvania.
Foreign relations would have as its
chief, not the able and patriotic Lodge
of Massachusetts, but Senator Hitch
cock of Nebraska. Mr.. Lodge by his
reservations to the Wilson League of
Nations, defeated Wilson's attempt to
deliver the Republic to a council of
foreigners sitting at Geneva, Switzer-
land. Senator Hitchcock was Presi-
dent Wilson's spokesman in the SEN
ate for the league. Does the Ameri-
can public want Hitchcock running
the foreign relations committee in the
next congress and still trying to
put over" the League of Nations?
