Foreign Advertising Representative
THE AMERICANA PRESS ASSOCIATION
TARIFF BILL TO BE OPERATED
ON
Especial Correspondence.)

N0QSCldl
Washington, Aug. Shepherds
of the Republican Profiteers' Tariff
bill, including it's sky-high duties on
wool, are talking of sending it into
the surgical ward of the Conference
Room and there subject it to a num-
Der of facial operations that will
make it's appearance less offensive
to the public eye than it is now.
Senator Lenroot (Rep., Wis.,)
who was an insurgent as to certain
Of the bills rates which his friends
haven't demanded, has been whisp-
erings the story of Republican inten-
tions. There isn't any plan about it,
because no one on the Republican
side of Congress has been able to
formulate plan upon the tariff or
any other measure. The hope, or
intent, or trick-whichever it is-in
the minds of the Republican "lead-
ers" is this:
When the tariff bill has reached
the point of death in the Senate it
will be passed, approximately Sept.
1, and sent to Conference. There
in the quiet and secrecy of the cham
Der from which the press is exclud-
ed and whence the Conferees are by
rule forbidden to take word of what
is happening, the Republican sur
geons will administer anesthesia and
begin the job-the profiteers permit
ting.
The wool schedule will be incised
excised and revised at terrible rate
the Senatorial representatives OF
the sheep not objecting. The rates
will be lowered something awful.
Next the silk schedule will be put
under the knife, always barring in
reference from the Senatorial
spokesman of the American silk
worm. Silk will become much
cheaper that it would have been ii
the Conference hadn't interviewed
but still too dear for the 1000, 600
unemployed.
After curing the bill of its excess
of wool and silk rates, the surgeons
will remove some of the superfluous
protective rates on chemicals, il al
lowed, and then devote their time
and scalpels to the task of reducing
the overplus of duties on cotton.
BY the time the bill leaves the OPP
Grating table and is gently carried
hooI% ~ ife friando Il, tha uo,,ca oun
the Senate. (providing it has not
died while the surgeons wrangled
about the kind and extent of the
amputations and excisions neces.
sary), neither the public nor the
profiteers nor the sheep nor the silk
worms will recognize it.
There are some contingencies
which qualify the foregoing account
of the Republican intentions. In
the first place, it isn't likely that the
Republican leaders would be willing
to treat the profiteers in any such
ungrateful fashion. In the second
place, even if the leaders were will
ing and the proflteers were not
averse, the great constituencies OF
sheep would not consent to it. In
the third place, granting the con-
currence of the leaders, the prof.
teers and the sheep, there would be
opposition from another quarter.
The "goats" that is the American
consumers-are pretty certain not to
stand for it.

my kidneys working right?" The
answer may be easily found.
Weak kidneys slacken their fill

culates with the blood, in many cas-
es attacking brain, nerves, muscles,
and vital organs. Don't wait for

SIX STATE RAILROADS
HAVING INJUNCTI0NS
TO APPEAR IN COURT
tBy Associated Press)

INDIANAPOLIS, July 24-Six rail-
roads operating in Indiana having OBJ
tanned temporary injunctions to re-
strain striking employees from inter
fering with the movement of mail, in
terstate freight and passengers, will
appear before Judge Francis Z. Baker
in federal court here tomorrow TO ask
that permanent injunctions be grant
ed.
The roads having temporary injunc-
lions are the Big Four, Wabash, Bal
timore and Ohio, Cincinnati, Indianap-
oils and Western, Monon and Chicago
and Erie
The injunction petitions filed by the
railroads are almost identical and all
name the following organizations of
the strikers: International Associa'
ton of Machinists, International
Brotherhood of Boilermakers, Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Blacksmith.
Drop Forgers and Helpers, Iron Ship
builders and Helpers of America, the
International Alliance of Sheet Metal
Workers, the international Brother
hood of Electrical Workers and the
Brotherhood of Railway Carmen.
Judge Baker granted the temporary
injunctions following hearings at
Hammond. He is acting as judge in
the Indiana district during the vaca-
ton of Judge A. B. Anderson. Judge
Baker is on the bench of the U. S.
circuit court of appeals at Chicago.

sort of government they should have. The SUBJ
stance of the utimatum laid down to them, that
as they wanted foreign enterprise and capital to-
get their country out of the predicament into
which they have pushed it, and that as they had
destroyed the industries already placed there by
foreign capital, they must somehow show that
they meant in good faith to balance their account
and engage in business transactions on a bust
ness basis
The Russians practically demanded the money
as right and insisted that the other nations
should advance it on such terms the soviets
chose to make, which were simply not business
terms at all. Their idea evidently that
capital was so keen to enter Russia, seeing the
great opportunities there and the need for the
good of world commerce that industries would
be developed, that they would take any risks
It was a mistake. Private enterprise may go
into Russia on such terms, but extensively, it
may be imagined, while governments hold back.
Messrs. Lenine, Litvinoff and company have now
had reasonable proof that the world outside of
Moscow has no confidence in them and as there
is not likely soon to be another such chance as
they have had at The Hague to prove themselves
anything other than a band of grasping adven-
turers with no real interest in the welfare of
their country, they will have leisure to reflect
this verdict and devise other schemes for get
ting cash without backing of moral character
or visible security.

Ripping Rhymes
BY Walt Mason
THE GENTLE SEX

If you want tale that's CORY let a
woman write the same; to compound
a thrilling story I'd appoint some gen
tie dame. Man at times seems rather
sparing, daubing in the scarlet tones,
but a woman, greatly daring, fills her
narrative with bones. When her in
spiration's wrapped her she has blood
and bones to spare, with a corpse in
every chapter, and an inquest here
and there. Woman writes detective
stories by the bushel, in these times,
and we can't deny the glories of her
plots and sleuths and crimes. And the
reader murmurs sadly, What a drag
on she must be, she who writes so
blithely, gladly, of red carnage in a
seal" Then some day the reader sees
her, and he cries aloud, "GadZooks,"
And a most astonished geeZer is that
reader of her books. For she's quiet
and retiring, she is of a queenly grace !;
and if bloodshed she's desiring, there's
no symptom in her face. Nearly all
this seasons thrillers are by female
authors writ; through their pages
wild-eyed killers like the movie phan-
toms fit. And the gentle authors rem
der all their fury in their books; in
their private lives they're tender,
drinking tea in quiet hooks.
