The Coming Tariff Battle.

The impression is strong. and won
justified, that the tariff battle at the
special session WIN be pitched in the
Senate. The House, according to the
constitutional prescription. will pre-
pare and pass a bill, and then the
Senate. according to custom, will take
the measure UP and give it final
shape.
In the past thirty years some nota
bic tariff contests have taken place
in that arena. The Mckinley re-
vision, upon which the republicans
appealed to the country in 1890, and
lost. received many touches in the
Senate. The Wilson German meas.
ure, upon which the democrats ap.
pealed in 1894, and lost. Q was quite
made over in the Senate. Even the
Dinsiey measure, the most success
ful Of all tariff measures, and which
was in fine shape when it left the
House. was revised in the Senate.
In 1909 Senator Aldrich put the
final touches to the Payne bill; and
in 1918 the Senate devoted five months
to the Underwood bill, which the
House had sent over.
The coming battle should be one of
the briskest OF its kind. The leaders
on both sides are familiar with the
ground and veteran tariff fighters. Mr..
Penrose and Mr.. Smoot will have just
entered on new terms, and be in keen.
er keller because of the fact. The
same is true Of Mr.. Underwood, while
Mr.. Simmons has the greater. part
Of his present term before him.
The country wants the best re.
vision possib3e-needs 1t in its bua-
ness-and there is guaranty Of
something good IN the ability and ex-
perience of the men on both sides who
win supervise the work.

"The Most Disreputable Act"

A negro was burned at the stake
near Nodena, Ark, on Wednesday.
Taken from the custody of two depu-
ties. presumably conducting him to
|a spot where the law might be per-
mitted to run its course, the prisoner
was rushed by automobile to the place
Of execution. The hour for the gi1ast-
ly ceremony was officially announced
in advance. At $50 O'Clock, by
torchlight, he was chained to log,
his clothing saturated in oil, brush.
wood piled to his shoulders, and the
fame applied. "It was forty min
utes before the last agony died away,
and the negro's charred body lay still
in DEATH For sheer, inhuman saw.
agery, sickening to the hearts Of a
public grown too used to horrors, this
deed Of a so-called civilized cornmu-
nifty could furnish new ideas in human
sacrifice to the peoples of the most
distant jung1es.

outrage was perpetrated, was the

Mr.. Harding and the Navy.

Hsys Mr.. Harding on the sut5ect
sethe bkvy:
.our Navy is the great waM OF
which is almost good enough in the
end will prove more costly to the
safety Of the United States than no
Navy at all 1t Is the Navy
which guarantees US against inva-
sion. It is the Navy which guaran-
tees US the ability to send armies
overseas if the need ever comes. We
want no Navy for conquest. We
would all like to reduce armaments
but so long as there is need for ma
tional defense we must maintain our
Navy. not only in its material
strength. but in the morale and ca
pacity OF its officers and men,"
In a word, Mr.. Harding wants an
adequate Navy-not a Navy almost
adequate. He well understands that
there Is neither safety nor satisfac.
ton in '.alInost" In any application.
You do not invest in butter recon.
mended as almost fresh and pure, but
are put on guard instantly against
rancid stuff. You do not employ q
man in a aduciary capacity who is
recommended as almost honest. You
demand clean bill of health.
An adequate Navy costs money.
Certainly. So does every other ade
quate thing worth while. You should
not desire, and need not expect, some
thing for nothing.
An adequate Navy will contribute
to the morale of both officers and
men. Those who, afloat. wear Uncle
Sans uniform will fight with all their
ability in any circumstances Of en-.
gagement. But they will fight with
all the greater heart and satisfaction
Il ordered into action on IN equality
at least with the enemy. Let them
1ssl that their equipmsnt is entirely
adequate. and their usefulness will
be douhaed.
As Mr.. Harding points out, an ade.
quate Navy does not mean conquest.
We shall be putting NO nation On no.

proposal is ''bWrowtnE'' without pay:
. ment or return instead Of taking with
out payment. There is no dfnkerence.
The principle remains that according
to the proposal made at the Madison
Square Garden meeting the workers
are to be the dictators OF all policies,
wages, powers and conditions. The
manufacturer can bsry the materials
and provide the plant, and he may
market the goods afterward, but at
the rates that the manufacturing cost
dictated by the workers will require.
No judgment whatever Is left to the
owner.
Troubles have been perennial in the
clothing trades IN New York. They
have come from the old sweatshop
rule that was so harsh and cruel that
it naturally engendered resistance
and resentment. These conditions
have been cured to a very great ex-
tent and the garment workers in New
York are much better paid and are
given Infinitely better working con.
ditions than before. Now they want
to rule the factories, and probably
an issue will be struck on that point
and a strike viii occur. There will
doubtless be rioting and perhaps some
bloodshed. These clothing strikes
usually result that way. Demagogic
leaders are now fomenting the trou.
Bile by preaching -bolshevik principles.
When the crisis comes they will not
suffer, but many others. deluded by
their misguidance. will.
