OLD AGE TARIFF FIGHT

While the Democrats in Congress are attacking the Fordney
tariff bill and a considerable portion of the public, particularly on
the Atlantic coast, is starting a back fire against any kind of a
tariff because it will be too high, the American Sheep Breeder
and Wool Grower of Chicago, jealous of the interests of the pro-
Queer, sounds an alarm from a different angle as follows:
Taking it by and large, the permanent wool tariff" practi-
cany settled at this writing, is viewed great disappointment in
spite of the victory in securing a secured pound rate. Everywhere
among the growers there is a strong feeling that the manufactur-
ers and wool importers have got the better end of the deal. The
truth is, it is the lowest wool tariff we have ever had, and while
the growers of medium and coarse woods are not so hard hit, it is
a body blow to the fine wool industry and the Merino breeders
pound is better than nothing. but the Republican party has
violated its promise of "ful and adequate protection to the wool
growing industry of the United States. " 7 The tariff board has no
doubt done the best it could in ascertaining production costs, but
we have been going through abnormal times with tremendous ex-
penses. The tariff board has worked in the dark, so far as pro
duction costs are concerned. The fact is, there is absolutely no
way to find out what it costs to produce a pound of wool in foreign
countries, for wool growing conditions there are as abnormal as
they are here. Our wool growers have never asked for a duty
representing more than the difference in production costs here and
abroad. The tariff principle espoused by the Republican party
has always been based on this hypothesis. In settling the WOO
duty. the Harding administration has made a big mistake, and our
only hope is that they will see it and rectify it later on.
No tariff can please all sections and all people. That must be
conceded in advance. A just tariff will be framed along the lines
Of the greatest good to the greatest number. And the country at
large must keep in mind that our Democratic tariffs have been
low tariffs followed by periods of inactivity in business and fnan
cal depression while our Republican tariffs have been on higher
average levels and have been followed by periods of prosperity.
If the proof of the pudding is in the eating then there is but one
course to pursue and that is to proceed with the Republican policy
which is an American policy, resulting in the past in spinning
wheels and more or less regular employment of labor at living
wages-Cheyenne Tribune. ..u

WYOMlNG'S LOSS OR CAIN
Casper Herald, independently

Casper Herald, independently
Viewed from a purely practical standpoint, the state of Wyo-
ming would gain much and lose nothing should it's electorate send
Congressman Mondell to the senatea as now seems likely. Since it
was announced that the Newcastle man would be willing to per-
sonally sacrifice his Floor Leadership in order to head the party
ticket as it's candidate for senator, the state press has been practi-
caHy unanimous in favor of his candidacy. Other Republicans en-
titled to consideration having announced themselves for MondeL,
the indications are that he will be the party's only candidate at the
primaries. fM## e#&N
The loss in such an eyentuality would be a personal one to
Mondell, not to the state. Wyoming would in fact gain materially
by sending Mondell. to the senate. The Wyoming congressman's
nower and influence in the House of Representatives is due to his
personal popularity and to his Acknowledged ability; his seniority
has been nothing more than q mere incident as far as his selection
as Floor Leader goes. He gained this honor because a majority
of the house membership acknowledged him to be the best man
for the place, not because he was one of the older men in point Of
service. He has held the position, and it is acknowledged he can
continue to hold it as long as he wants to, because he has made
good and proven the wisdom of his selection. E#&ds
The transferring of Mondell to the senate would not cause
him to lose his personal popularity and influence in the House
on the contrary it would tend to increase it. Whomever Wyoming
sent to take his place in the House would have the full benefit OF
MondeIps experience; popularity and counsel-and the personal
assistance Of the gentleman from Newcastle whenever II. was
needed. The result Of the change in House members would o.! .lbse:,

WHAT D'YOU MEAN, NORMAL
Casper Herald.)
"Not hard times coming.
Just soft times going"

mot hard times coming.
Just soft times going"
This phrase has been used most effectively for some months
past by a big national advertiser and it fits. 1t would be hard to
find another eight word combination which serves better to de-
scribe the industrial, commercial and financial phenomena which
the nation has been witnessing.
We may be loath to admit it, but the United States has had
a rather an easy time of it in the last half dozen years. Of course
there have been sacrifices, and tremendous ones, sacrifices which
cannot but command a worlds respect. But for the most part,
Americans worked no harder than they had worked in the decade
before, and they were very much better paid for it. Few, how
ever, will argue now that we gained by it permanently, either as
Workmen or as a nation.
Things have changed. Comparatively few incomes show
years and skill. Work is not so plentiful as it might be in many
sections and the stimulus Of the need for work is resulting, as
always, in better work all around. The attitude of the nation is
more sober than it was-and no prohibition joke is intended
either.
Many people are asking on many occasions, when will times
be normal again." Their plaintive queries deserve but one reply,
What do you mean normal?"
If normal conditions NEAR such conditions as obtained in this
country from 1915 to 1920, there should be a day of national
fasting and prayer that they will never return.
Conditions are really nearer normal now, for under normal
conditions men must work honestly and well for what they get
and do their own saving for their own futures. 1t is as it should
be.
No man who is worth a continental ever expects to get quite
all that he is worth. If he gets anything like it, he is wise, he
knows he has one foot on the toboggan.
Soft times are going, have gone in fact. Why not admit
it, and stop.regretting it?

UNION ANSWERS SENT
Switchman Claims He Lost Job Be.
cause Strike Was Called

Chattanooga, Tenn, July 20.-The
brotherhood of railway trainmen filed
in court here yesterday a plea of
abatement in response to the suit for
five thousand dollars brought against
it as labor organization by Villa m
Felton,, a switchman, who charged that
his dismissal from the service of the
Southern railroad was brought about
by the union. Action in the case is
considered likely to have a far-reach-
ing effect in labor circles, and it is
said to be the first Of its kind brought
in American courts.
The brotherhood plea declares that
the organiza ton is a voluntary asso-
citation, not corporate body without
an officer or agent in the state upon
whom process can be served, and
argues that the court is without juris-
diction against it.

Notes-Berlin Items of Interest.

The most important problem which
came up for discussion at the meeting
Of the Eerlin school board last eve

in the Berlin public schools. BY linn
iting the beginners who will be six
years of age when school opens there
will be a minimum of 1920 children
to enter the local schools in the fall.
OF this number 1872 will go to the

school. This does not include the
60 who will attend high school in
either New Britain, Meriden or Mid
dletown
The most difficult problem will be
how to house the children at the
kensington school. There are 452
pupils in the Junior High and Ken
sington The Junior High school will
occupy five rooms of the building
which leaves seven for the Kensing-

pupils. This will leave an average of

is the opinion of the board and school
officials. Especially it is too large
a number for the kensington school
In view of the fact that so many for
eigners attend and it is necessary for
a teacher to give more individual in

The board at it's meeting chose
three alternatives in solving the
problem. None. however, were acted
upon They are: % Erect another

Club Sandwiches.

complishments because they may oe
made in so many different ways. You
can really vary them according TO the
contAnts of YOUR larder. if you WILL and
So serve them frequently and yet not
grow monotonous in doing so.
Here is one kind:
Have some thin slices of bread toast
cd over which spread some thickly
made mayoAnaise, and lay on each a
lettuce leaf which has been washed In
weak vinegar. Now lay on each let
tuce leaf a shaving of cold boiled
tongue, a very thin slice Of cold baked
turkey or chicken breast, an exceed
inely thin slice of tomato. another
anofher slice Of toast. The toast
should be hot and buttered.
Another sor. OF club sandwich may
he made of lettuce and n1ayonnalse, a
sardine or two. a couple OF slices OF
broiled bacon and the top OF lettuce anu
toast. III.
Rroi}ed bacon and sliced tomato. with
cticken nayonnaise and toast form an
1her good combination.
Or. If you have nothing else: just to-
mato and .broiled bacon, with lettuce
and mayonnaise, may be used between
tie two slices of hot buttered toast.
~ course, this is not distinctive cub
sandwich, but it answers the purpose
quite as well.
There are some very good brand.
of canned chicken that may be used
for club sandwiches, and with these
snch a sandwich becomes an emer-
gency dish. For you presumably al
ways have a few leaves of lettuce In
the refrigerator, and bacon and bread
and mayonnaise in the pantry. with
tomato and still have good sand
wich for emergency use.
