State" says the Morning News, word
comes that there is no scarcity of
"help" on the farms as the harvesting
days approach. Further, it is said
that wages have been readiusted to
conform to the falling price of wheat
and incident to the exodus from the
cities of men who had been attracted
by ''war jobs" and phenomenal wages.
Normal conditions will have to be
reached before there can be general
revival of industry. Farmers are pro-
testing that they are now playing los
ing game by virtue of the cost of
planting last years crops when high
prices prevailed, the lower prices
making profits now impossible In
some instances.
"Yet it is heralded from the penin-
sula that the strawberry crop, in spite
of the April frosts, proved for the most
part profitable for the growerse. When
the general average is struck for a
series of years it will be found that
earnings are adjusted. The farmers
are not alone the ones who are "hard

r chants facing problems of serious i'm

Nevertheless now is the time to have
courage and strive to bring back nor

Gin spite of the lessening of de-
'mands there continues to be an insis-
ltence upon the part of some dealers
to maintain practically "war prices"
Each branch of society must realize
that no one is to be exempt from the
pressure, and the sooner a man makes
up his mind to take his losses pholoso-
phically, and to understand that he
has plenty of company the better it
will be. Tremendous profits came to
many in trade and in the workshops
run under pressure with wages such

Joint resolution. which requires the signature Of
the president Whom the president appoints should
be removable by him alone. II IS important that

HE EMERGENCY" TARIFF.

e.-sgs,q1v little attention IS being given the
so-called emergency tariff bill recently signed ny
the president Probably this is due in part to the
inability OF the PEOPLE TO understand tarihs and 10
the feeling that # made little difference whether
they understood this one not. The general feel-
ing seems 10 be one Of resignation but It may no'
be ever thus.
We have it now that the textile trades are some
what disturbed by the new tarin. There is duty
OF soc a pound on WOOL certain grades Of which
can be brought into this country and landed at
from CSC to Csc a pound. That is duty Of 125
per cent imposed on woods used largely by mills
making most OF the staple goods and mems wear.
To be sure this means the exclusion OF the wool
thus taxed, and there Is grave doubt whether the
American wool grower Will be helped materially
There is a surplus OF wool stocks IN the world that
can not be absorbed in year. II must be remem-
bered also that the wool grower has dependence on
the manufacturer for mis- market The manufac-
turer will have to pay duty OF 125 per cent on
imported wool-or go without (which he viii.
What will happen when England and other coun-
tries begin TO find that ready market for goods In
this country as they are likely do within short
timer Clearly enough the activities recently noted
IN foreign wool markets the part OF English
apsnners, indicates that they looking elsewhere
for wool than the United states. and contemplate
oonsuuI ton this wool. which but for the emer-
Eency tariff would come to We would have,
then competition in manufacturing, taking the place
OF competition materials the textile trades
get no protection against competition their fin
ished products under this law.
This is only one OF the complications evidently
not forseen ~ the tariff thinkers. The textile mills
are further alarmed over dye situation created
by the bill, rs foreign manufacturers will for the
most part have the benefit Of a comparatively free
market IN which TO purchase dyes while Amer
lean manufacturers will be subject the influences
OF higher duties and continued government espion-
age over dye imports.
Gripping the manufacturers who are the con-
sumers OF wool after such manner. will hardly tend
10 strengthen the market for the wool grower
It enables Us to little more clearly what some
congressman and senators meant when criticizng
the measure "eamouhage thrown for the
farmer" Indeed 1t is beginning to look already
as though this emergency tariff might create more
emergencies than It Will overcome. II Is certainly
grand specimen OF the tariff tinker's art going far

which the senate adopted unanimously, authorizes

THE GOLFER AND HIS OADDIE.
1t was a little caddie boy one pleas
ant summer day
Who drew a well known business
man TO bear his clubs away,
And oh, the little lad was proud to
think that through the game
He'd be a partner of a man so wide
ly known to fame.
The man was noted in the press, and
many a tiny Tim
Would dream the pleasant dreams of
youth when he would be like
him.
And likewise did this cad6ie boy who
thought from him he'd learn
The way 10 make a great success
when it should come his turn.
The business man was off his game,
il grieves me sore to say,
He was not honest with himself nor
with the boy that day;
He nagged and cursed the little chap
until his heart was sad,
And roundly blamed him every time
a shot he made was bad.
He did not truly count his score, nor
fairly play the game,
The boy discovered he was false, de-
spite h 8 business fame,
And when the boy got home that
night, he said with manner
grim:
Il hope when I grow up I won't be
anything like him.
oh man, IL you would know yourself
and get an honest view.
Go out and learn just what II Il your
caddie thinks Of you.

don't want &c caddie for.
