DANGEROUS TRADE BARRIERS.

Thomas Walker Page. chairman OF
the L. s. Tariff Commission. states in
an article in the current issue OF the
Journal of the American Bankers Asso-
citation that "a tariff that rigidly ex-
cludes foreign goods is likely 10 pro-
woke retaliation in some form ~
foreign governments and TO create a
prejudice against American products
among foreign consumers.
This thought is in line with the policy
which Every Evening has consistently
rnaintained-in season and out. There
is ample evidence TO show that the
Emergency Tariff Bill caused wide
spread resentment before President
Wilson vetoed IL The same bill is now
being pushed through Congress, and
President Harding will sign it, regard
less Of its effect in other countries.
There are special circumstances which
will prevent some countries from tax
ing any positive retaliatory measures; /;
in others there is agitation now for a
retort 10 this bill. In Argentina a
statute requiring a retaliatory duty Of
40 per cent on American imports is be-
ing supported by the Argentine press.
Certain Canadian journals are advo-
eating further extension of the prefer
ential rates on British goods which
were adopted when We first built a
high tariff wall.
We do not believe that protective
tariff at this time will do any permanent
good. our chief concern now IS to ex-
pand our foreign trade. Trade barriers
do not lead to trade expansion. And
good will cannot be maintained when
we adopt a policy Of exclusion toward
nations 10 which we wish to sell goods.

JUST FOLKS
THE MAN iUITfII. MISS
By Edgar A. Guest

THE MAN YOU'LL MISS.
Old Man Green will be missed around
here,
Tor he was the sort O. man you
miss
The quiet kind that some think queer
Yet jus fit into a place like this,
Like the trees an plants an the vines
that creep.
Which you walk by all Of the sum
mer long
An scarcely notice. so stIn they keep.
But II one should die you'd know
something's wrong.
Wen. old Man Green for a stretch o
years
Has lived round here. like a friend
Jus part o the landscape. it appears.
That day by day we should wake 10
see:
Round him the youngsters loved to
play
An with him the old folks sat to
rest,
An though he never had much TO say,
lie soothed full many a troubled
breast.
Friend TO US all. the great an low,
Knew the names of the young an
old,
Greeted US all with his glad hello.
An many a sad goodbye he told:
There's the place where he used to sit.
Tilted back in his favorite chair,
Calm us in TO rest a bit
Or watchin' the youngsters playin'
there.
Old Man Green is dead an gone
An the old town doesn't seem quite
the same.
There's a great soul lost. though 1t
wasn't one
known TO fortune or worldly fame;
Just a kindly voice an a CHEEKY smile,
Which are needed so in a place like
this
Made every hour of his life worth
while
An that is the way Of men you miss.

MR.. DANIELS STORY.

II want to do right. whether 1t Is
popular or not"
Those words were spoken by Presi-
dent Wilson to his Cabinet on Tuesday.
March 20. 1917. when he was consider
ing whether this Nation should enter
the World War.
The report of that meeting-the first
ever penned-was printed by Every
Evening yesterday in The Story of
the Navy" by Josephus Daniels. which
we are publishing for the benefit of our
readers.
Many books have been written on
the army's participation in that con-
fiict. and regarding the peace parleys
at Versailles. But this book is the
first one to present a non-partisan view
of the navys activities. and to tell the
real inside story of the work in Presi-
dent wilson's official family during that
period
Mr.. Daniels has approached his sub
ject without bias. In his story he
Furnishes no enemies. takes no slaps at
political opponents but tells in graphic
newspaper language what was happen
ing in Washington and on the high
seas while the veil of the censor was
drawn before our eyes.
We believe that this is the most inn
portant story concerning America g
wartime activities which has been
written by any official in a position to
know. Every Evening had the oppor
tunity 10 choose between many stories.
but after careful consideration it was
decided that Mr. Daniels account was
the most accurate. the most interesting.
and above all else. the host written one

There wisdom speaks. So far as the

We are inclined to think that the re-
striction retained in Iowa and in eX-
istence III several States forbidding tae
sale Of cigarettes to minors might well
cover all forms OF tobacco, but as it
stands is a justinable use of the police
power because child-use Of tobacco is
most common in the cigarette form

WHAT DELAwAREANs DID.

Henry P Scott, chairman for Della
ware Of the Hoover relief fund, who
did much TO insure the success of the
late cornpaign on behalf of Europe's
starving children, has received a letter
from Mr.. Hoover. which tells of the
great good which the money raised by
our citizens will do The letter to Mr..
Scott is reprinted in these columns, be-
cause it is a tribute to every man,
woman. and child, who so bountifully
gave toward those little ones abroad:
81 wish to express the gratitude
that we. all Of us. feel for the fine
service you. and the people Of Della
ware, have done in the children's re-
lief. This has been the greatest
and most successful drive since the
war. We have received all we
asked for, and win be able to com
plete the entire program Of caring
for three and one-half millions Of
children until next summer.
Owing TO the fall in the price Of
commodities, we can probably even
carry a considerable portion of this
relief for many months longer.
while ] am indebted to you and
your associates. for personal CO.
operation the real reward which
you and all of us viii have, is the
satisfaction that we have jointly
contributed so materially to the
preservation of this great mass of
children.
Yours faithfully,
Herbert Hoover"

THE sENATE's FUNCTION.

M. Viviani, the former French Pre-

himself with perfect propriety, and has
done or said nothing that can fairly
subject him to criticism. But as much
cannot be said for the Senators who

him. The only relations that an Am

THE EINSTETN THEORY
WHAT DOES IT MEAN

From The London Times.

Scientific men have now bad near
ly 1S months of acute discussion OF
Einstein's theory. IL has much to ita
credit. 1t has accounted for the OBJ
served fact that the orbits of planets
are not quite what they ought to be
on the Newtonian theory. 1t was
able to predict a minute but very re-
markable alteration In the apparent
position of stars visible cnly during
n total eclipse of the sun. IT has been
able TO fit gravitation iuto the general
scheme instead of leaving IL as an is
olated fact
1t has made the hypothesis OF the
ether unnecessary. IL has explained
away a battling parodox. If ether ex-
lists. this world is passing through II

There ought. therefore. 30 be an APP
preciable difference in the times taken

ton or across its path. But no such
differences have been detected. The
Einstein theory explains much and re-
duces reality to the single assumption
that there can he no greater velocity

TELLS KY, Farmers
TO Be CONSERVATIVE
(Rv Associated Press)


Lexington, KY. March IA
conservative system of agricul-
ture for Kentucky farmers dur
ing the coming year offers one of
the most important solutions to
their present problems, according
to conclusions reached at a recent
conference between Thomas =.
Cooper. director of the Kentucky
Agricultural Experiment Station.
and the heads of various depart
ments of the institution. The
conference was held for the pur
pose of attempting to point out
the economics of the present
farm situation in the state and
advice as far as accurate Informal
ton was available on steps to be
taken.
The Importance of conservative
buying and the practice of such
farmer before the war were es-
pecially emphasized during the
conference. Preparation of the
farm to produce economically the
food necessary for home CON
sumption ana the growing Of
crops required to feed livestock
and work animals were other re
concentrations which the confer
ence decided were important.
Growth Of better quality live
stock to consume surplus rough
ages and coarse cereals were also
stated as being important fac
tors.

production of the crop is accom-
panied by violent drop in prices
