Not High. But ADEQUATE

Those who are rushing about the
country decrying ''high" Tariff are
simply beating the air. 1t is not pro-
posed to enact ''high" Tariff. The
President makes it plain in his first
message to the Congress that he is
not in favor of "high" Tariff. No
true Protectionist is. The American
Economist yields to none in its ad-
vocacy of Tariff Protection, but it Is
not in favor of ''high'' Tariff.
A ''high" Tariff carries with it the
idea of greater Protection than is
needed, a sort of "Chinese Wall" It
suggests to the average mind that the
producers of the country will be
given an undue advantage and that
the public will have to pay more than
they should on account of such Tariff.
While it is true, that, in the alb
sence of Combination in restraint of
trade" the tendency of the Tariff Is
to increase competition and lower the
prices of the protected domestic art
icles to the consumer, yet it is not
! proposed to give the domestic pro
| Queer any greater measure of Pro
lection than is necessary for him TO
succeed in competition with foreign
| products. That is what President
Harding meant when he said in his
message:
''The maturer revision of our Tariff
laws should be based on the policy of
| Protection, resisting that selfishneSs
which turns to greed, but ever con-
cerned with that productivity at home,
which is the source of all abiding
good fortune"
Not high but adequate.
That other great son of Ohio, Will
liam Mckinley, Jr., has been errOn-
eously called "the high priest of high
Protection" Never was there a
| greater misnomer. In his report on
behalf of the Ways and Means Com
mittee recommending the passage of
the Bill which bears his name, he
said:
'FWe have recommended no duty
above the point of difference between
the normal cost of production here,
IncluQlng LABOR, ana Cne cost OF ike
productions in the countries which
seek our markets"
That, certainly, is not 'high" Pro
lection. In fact we think that Major
Mckinley did not go quite far
enough. We believe that the domes-
tic producers are entitled to an ad-
vantage in the home market, not to be
placed on an exact parity with the
| producers of competing nations.
Let the consumers of the country
rest in security. There is no pur-
pose to impose higher rates Of duty
than are necessary to maintain do
mestic industries. We must again set
the wheels of industry to moving so
that every ablebodied American may
be assured of employment. With that
assured there is no reason to fear for
the prosperity of our country. With
out it the outlook will be dark indeed.

CONGRATULATIONS

The Free Press has passed from the
boiler-plate stage of Journalism to
that of the up-to-date linotype class,
although the office for a very con-
siderable time has been thoroughly
equipped with the linotype and all
that that implies. Henceforth and
for good the patent inside has re-
ceived the discard, for which the cit
izens of Hays without distinction of
creed or party, will greatly rejoice.
Our city-all cities-is correctly
judged and estimated by the rank and
quality of its local press.
The Free Press has grown steadily
in the respect and esteem of its con-
temporaries throughout the state, and
has ever been a welcome visitor at the
homes of its friends and immediate
neighbors. 1t can be said of the
paper with entire truth that the whole
of the population of this city and
county cannot be reached unless this
worthy local Journal is used as the
medium of communication, and 1 be-
lieve I express the universal salts
faction and pleasure of our citizens
at this evidence of the prosperity of
the Free Press. AS a patron of the
office can say with entire truth that
the Job Work utrned out by the
proprietors is not excelled by any
country printing establishment.

The Association Cleared 1886 Over

The third annual Music Festival

contralto; Ernest Davis, tenor, and
Louis Kreidler, baritone.
In the afternoon Rosa PoneIsIe. the
worlds most famous dramatic So
prano, gave her recital A great
audience from all Western Kansas
comfortably filled the Sheridan Coli
scum for both the afternoon and
evening programs.
On Saturday evening the oratorio
quartet gave the Artists concert,
which in many respects was one of
the most appreciated programs of the
week. A large number of those who
had come for the high school contest
IN the afternoon remained over for
the Saturday night program as well
as for the Sunday programs.
On Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday nights members of the
oratorio quartet gave recitals in turn.
The afternoon programs during the
week were given by members of the
Music faculty, the Expression and
Interpretation faculty, and advance
students in these departments. On
Monday evening the most spectacular
program of the week occurred under
the direction of Miss Flora Mae Ellis,
| director of Physical Education at the
Normal School. The program con-
sisted of an Interpretation of the
cantata "Pan on a Summer Day"
The Festival program opened on
Sunday afternoon, May l, with the
violin recital of Eddy Brown, Amer
ica's great violinist. This recital
was probably the most finished and
a4oss appreciated violin recital evel
rendered in the Coliseum. The
Creation" which was sung by the
festival chorus on the first Sunday
evening was one of the most finished
pieces of work which the chorus has
| done.
A new feature of the Festival Week
was the high school chorus contest
on Saturday afternoon in which the
following high school choruses con-
tested: Bunkerhill, Morland, La
Crosse and HOisington.
The Music Festival Week at the
Fort Hays Kansas Normal School is
the most ambitious musical event in
Kansas and one of the three greatest
festivals in the United States. 1t is
the place where Western Kansas
meets the most elite of New York's
musical talent. That Western Kansas
appreciates the Music Festival Week
is attested by the attendance from
$50 miles north, south, east, and west

st. Joseph's Parochial School did
especially well with their group of
songs as did also the children of the
Public School. Both Sister Claude,
as director of music in the Parochial
School, and Miss Elma Creighton as
director of music in the Public School
deserve the highest praise for the re-
suits which they are securing and the
training which they are giving the
children.

THE CHILDREN's PROGRAM AT
THE FESTIVAL

The Music Festival program which
had the strongest local interest was
without doubt the children's program

gave the following program:

America.
The children had been well trained
and it was an inspiring spectacle
when the 600 children filed into their
places dressed in their best. When
the program opened the mass effect
of their 600 voices was stirring as
they sang the patriotic songs and gave
the pretty little folk dances.
The individual numbers which de-
serve special mention were the two
dances: Little Miss Muffet" by
Mildred Lee and "The Dance of the
Raindrops" by Virginia Sehwaller,
and also the violin solo by Lois
Rarick, the reading by Rosalind
Noble, and the Highland Fling" by
Scotty Philip. The children of the

Government Will Extend Credit as
Aid to Farmers


Sufficient credit to ''pull the
farmer out of the hole" and allow
him to continue operations, will be
provided in the governments pro-
gram to aid the producers. Comp
troller of the Currency Crissinger
said recently.
''There must be immediate assur-
ance given the farmers of the coun-
try that his requirements for fer
tilizer, seed, implements and labor
will have the greatest measure of
support through the banks" Girls
singer said.
Comptroller Crissinger's plan pro-
poses that the government and the
federal banking structure must stand
solidly behind the individual banks
in their extensions to farmers on
badly needed credits. TIL comp
troller, it is expected, may ask the
federal reserve board, of which he
is an eX-officio member, to more
clearly set forth its attitude, with
respect to agricultural credits, in an
announcement of new policy to
member banks of the reserve system.
Opposition to lowering the re-
discount rates has been expressed
by the federal reserve board as a
means of effecting the credit RENE
dies on behalf of the farmers. The
board recently approved drop in
the rate for the Boston reserve bank.
Comptroller Crissinger said that
high bank rates which, farmers are
forced to pay in many agricultural
states, are due to the excessive rates
legalized by the states.-Ex.
