 TARIFF MEASURE

 Under the lumber schedule, he said, !" ab arden on new small Ameri. can homes will be imposed in Canada puts in force lumber tariff rates against us"
 Final Vote July 2I
 House republicans at conference tonight fixed July 21 as the date for the final vote on the general tariff bill. consideration of which will be- gin tomorrow The conference also adopted proposition opening the hides, cotton, dyes, and oil schedules to amendment from the floor, and permitting each to be disposed of by separate vote. Other schedules would be subject to amendment only by the ways and means committee.
 The conference decided to have the bill read tomorrow, after which gen eral debate will be made the order by special rule for which the con ference decided to ask and which Chairman Campbell of the rules com mittee said would be forthcoming to morrow.
 No restrictions will be placed on the discussion until July A under n agreement reached tonight. but de- bate thereafter will be under five minute limitation, Amendments also will be taken up during the period of limited debate.
 Decision to allow separate consid- eration of hides, dyes and oils was not unexpected but it was believed by some that the lumber schedules would be given the same status. Chairman Fordney of the ways and means committee, however, said the proposal to put the lumber provi- sions to a separate vote was beaten by nearly 8 to 1.
 Inclusion of cotton among tho "contested" paragraphs, however, came as a surprise to some. The motion to open up these provisions was understood to have been pro- posed by Representatives Pringey of Oklahoma, and Swing, of California. It was said they desired to seek a rate of duty on long staple cotton the same as under the present emerg- ency tariff law. It was unlikely, IL was added. that a duty would be asked for all raw cotton which IS now on the free list

ExAGGERATTNG THE HARD TIMES

Geore.e l.. Davis in Farm Life.
 Mortgages have been foreclosef De- fore-tenants have given up their leases-farmers have been busted. There have been fogced sales aud bankruptcy, every year. But there liare more of these failures now than in normal years. Men tried to go into high priced farming on short capital They were not prepared for A disastrous price break. They could not finance the deferred payments on their contracts for the expensive lands they had bought.
 Conditions have been much worse in differenet sections and at differ ent periods in the past, within the memory of men now living. But we have forgotten the old troubles, and we are in the mood now to mo- tice and agonize over matters tha. we would not pay much attention to in normal times.
 At any rate. we cannot help mat ters by an abject surrender-by run ming around and telling one another tales of trouble. We must work our our own salvation. It is useless to ''pass the hat" and expect the public or the government to make good our losses or insure our future profits. The nation cannot underwrite every man who goes farming and protect him from loss. It canont boost prices against world condition, even 1T it were willing to try such doubtful experiment..

WHO WILL SAVE CHINAf From Saving China, by J. o.

Bland, in Asia Magazine.
 It Is incontestable that no other nation on earth has ever attained to such a record of well-ordered con- tinuity and stability as China; also :. that this quality of perfnanence hal been based upon moral ideas of \ very htgh order As an eminent French writer has truly said: "The civilization of China has stood it's tests. It has provided countless gem eratfons of men wi tn food, not only for, the body but the soul. It has been school of moral beauty and virtue, of gentleness and wisdom. It has given to China | degree of hap piness and to the life of her people a stability and harmony which have never been excelled (the Chinese would say never equaled) by any other civilization.'
 Sharing this writer's view, I find something pathetic. and at the same time almost impertinent. in the com monly accepted assumption that we are called upon, if not entitled, to re- gard our western civilization as su- perior to that of the east and to im- pose it upon the Chinese people. believe that the ideas and institutions by which nina will in due time be saved" will be neither American nor British, but Chinese ideas and insti- tutions, evolved by the Chinese them selves, in accordance with the genius and traditions of the race Indeed I hope and believe that the inroads of our western materialism will leave no deeper scars upon the soul of Chi na than have been left upon 1t by the dominion of the Manchus or the in- vasion of Tartar hordes. And I therefore hold it to be our duty, while assisting to restore the finan- cial stability and administrative au- thority of the Chinese government. to abstain from attempts to impose our type of civilization upon the Chinese people. I. who have lived for nearly 30 years among them, and have had occasion to compare their system of manners and morals with those of many other nations have no hesitation in saying that. de- spite the burden of physical suffer- ing, the hunger and the sQualor i'm posed upon countless millions of Asiatics by their passivity and by the intensity of the struggle for survival. accentuated by their procreative recklessness. the east is wiser and happier than the west. l believe that the social institutions which have grown out of the Chinese phil osophy are nearer to the truth than ours and therefore morally superior: and, believing this, I ask myself (and Professor Dewey) upon what grounds and to what purpose we persist in endeavoring to impose upon them not only our mechanical in- ventions but our political panaceas and our conflicting creeds

Jack Tells of Visit
 of Two Mysterious
 Men to His Corner

Chicago, July 6.-Jack Dempsey, who arrived here today for a short visit on his way to his home in Salt Lake City, said that two men mys- teriously put in their appearance in his corner in the third round of his fight with Carpentier last Saturday with the intention, he believed, of throwing a towel into the ring to create disorder.
 'one man had towel in his hand" " said Dempsey, and my friend Mike Trant, questioned them. The men told Trant Rickard had put them there. Trant did not credit the story and had the police take them away. I believe these men intended to throw the towel into the ring from my corner, creating scene of disorder.
 Before we entered the ring, Ref cree Harry Ertle told Carpentier and myself the battle must be decided on it's merits, and he would not recog- nize victory for either man unless Kearnes or Descamps cameNinto the ring over the ropes with towel in his hand

GIRLS AND FIASKS.

1t is difficult to believe the warning Of Chicago
authorities that they to arrest girls carrying
TASKS was issued seriously. 1t is not likely that
any considerable number of Chicago society maids
far gone that they must substitute the liquor
bottle for the vanity bag The whole should not be
judged by the few.
Americans in Europe get a bad name generally
because of the many high rollers" of both sexes
who spend their money and make show of them
selves in ways that do anything but reflect upon the
folks back home Anybody in the United States
knows that the American who frequents European
gambling halls, the tracks, the watering places
and is not representative of America Bu-
you couldn't make many a resident of Europe be-
lieve that.
So with girls whole The minority who
wear abbreviated costumes, dance nasty dances and
drink to extent that makes them noticeable
should not be permitted to besmirch the good name
of the millions of American young women who
just good the mothers straight -laced grand
mothers who held up examples of all that
womanhood should be. It is safe to say that
comparatively small group of Chicago young women
"tote bottle" and If they do they will carry it
where policeman will not be likely to detect the
fact.
