Washington. - Tha THE Democratic
policy of free trade has spelled ma
tional disaster and that the new Ford
ney tariff will restore prosperity is the
contention of Representative Ira G..
Jersey, Of Maine, in an able speech de-
livered in the House. He said:
1.-THE Democrats Party was able,
through divided Republican Party, to
elect as President Woodrow Wilson, a
theorist, pure and simple, and to also
elect a House of Representatives and
a Senate that were willing to carry
these theories into practice, and today
we witnes sthe awful results of this
political folly. Wilson had beautiful
theory that free trade would lower the
high cost of living, and at the some
time would give to the producer high
prices for what he had to sell; to the
consumer low prices for what he had
to buy: to the employer Of labor cheap
wages; to the wage Garner big pay
envelope, and he attempted to put such
wild theories into practice, and the
world witnessed the result.
Some years ago in one of our Amer
lean colleges a certain professor In
chemistry attempted to work out a
beautiful theory. He claimed that by
the combination Of certain liquids and
chemicals he would evolve an elixir
that would revolutionize the world

At last, the motion picture drama
without one title in 1t has been pro-
duced. This really marks something
Of an epoch in the business-or the
art, as one sees It. To be sure, there
was 1.-THE Old Swimmin Hole" in
which there were no titles, but that
was not q true drama with plot and
everything. "The Journeys End" is,
and the plot is fairly complicated
one. But Hugh BALM, who is present
ing 1t, has succeeded In doing 1t
straightaway without one title to in
terrupt. There are certain rather in
teresting devices which he has en-
ployed as occasional substitutes -
calender page indicates the advance
of time and a newspaper clipping an

things are rare. Direction and acting
serve alone for the most part - and

After the armistice in November,
1918, there was again short period of
reprieve to the industries of the Ma
ton. The free-trade nations were en-
gagged in getting back again to trade
and commerce, preparing to make an
other assault upon the American mar
ket and rehabilitate themselves from
their deplorable financial condition
and slowly and surely they resumed
their exports into this country, which
have been constantly increasing down
to the enactment of the late emergency
tariff.
