The Sunday Tribune

COMPLIMENTS poured in verbally all day yes
" tetrday and are coming today by mail upon the
excellence OF the Sunday Morning Tribune. =
It is not mere fiattery we arc receiving, The peo-
pie are telling us what pleases them and why. Some
few have suggested improvements which have merit
and will be promptly acted upon. Our aim is TO
publish a newspaper representative of the concen-
sus of opinion of our readers, as nearly as we can
produce il. And when we have struck the happy
note we shall sustain it at any cost.
From time TO time new features will be added
TO replace others that arc bound TO outlive their
appeal, and they will have the greater excellence
or they will not be admitted to the general feast we
give our patrons.
Those who placed before the Tribune family of
readers the particulars and excellence of their mer-
chandise have been literally rewarded by patron
age and have sowed the seed for further patron
age as time goes on.
While the Sunday Tribune will grow in public
favor, we shall see to it that the week day issues
are kept to the high standard already set and shall
be content with nothing less than that the Tribune
shall be a correct index to the worlds happenings,
the worlds news and information, the worlds en-
tertainment and the worlds opinion.
Modesty forbids ~extolling further the work of
our own hands, but if pressed to the point of com
hitting ourselves we would say the Sunday Trib-
me was some paper.

disc contracted FOR and sold on the basis Of exist
ing rates"
An organization called the National Council OF
Importers and Traders requested n similar DELAY
so as TO permit the entry at present rates of duty
'of goods contracted for abroad on the basis OF the
present rates, which are en- route TO this country
1t is more than suspected that these actions were
mere political flourishes encouraged by a few small
bore Democratic politicians who will follow them
up by charging the president and his party with
ruthlessness in restoring protection. No other
valid reason Is suggested for such silly requests.
For rine years these importers have added what
they saved N Democratic duties to their bank &C
counts. For nine years they have enjoyed profits
on their imports, in many recorded instances rang
ing from $50 to 1000 per cent. Since November 3,
1920, they have been looking forward 10 the restor.
alton Of protection. and for 90 months-the period
from the time of the passage of the bin through
the house TO its passage by the senate-they have
bad ample opportunity TO stock up under the old
rates, and the records of imports Indicate that they
did so.
The glut Of the ports during the last days OF the
old tariff shows that the importers were taking
gamblers chances to beat out the new law. Where
they did so there is no kick coming by the govern
ment. Where they failed they should be sportsmen
enough not to kick at failure. they had their day
and the prices they charged show il was a field
day. Moreover, il is quite likely that as the old law
neared its end they protected themselves in their
contracts. If they did not they were foolish.

A Race With Tariff

FOLLOWING passage of the tariff law steamship
L men, on behalf of importers, wirelessed ships
at sea to bend every effort to reach port before the
president signed the measure. Several ships were
able to make harbor before the bill was signed.
Others were not so fortunate and the shipping con.
Germs tried to obtain rulings from the customs au.

Dor if they were within the "12mile bootleGgers'

In the last week of the Democratic low duty tar

were collected at the port of New York alone, while
an average of more than 81, 0O0,000 a day was col.

A Wife's Victory

ANOTHER CHAPTER has been written in the
n continued story Of the Stillman marital af-
fairs. II is the finding of the referee. In this a
complete victory for the wife is recorded. She is
not guilty of misconduct with the Indian guide, the
child Guy is found TO he the legitimate offspring of
James A. Stillman and Ann L. Stillman, and Still
man himself, who brought the action is guilty of
misconduct with three different women ard the
father of two children by one of them.
And thus it is with too many men this day, who
charge their wives with crimson misdeeds and rush
into courts to prove their children nameless, when
they themselves are guilty of identical crimes they
would fasten upon the mothers of their children.
The Indiana case is another sickcning mess that
is better buried in the family skeleton closet than
aired in the courts.
Stillman, formerly n model husband was appar-
emily engulfed in the immoral wave that swept the
world when the war broke. If he had been guilty
before it was buried behind the outward crust OF
resptability he carefully maintained. Then with
the reign Of wild women, wild wine. and wild song
he threw discretion to the wind, cut restraints and
went as far as his money and his high social and
financial position would take him. Like thous-
ands of others he did not figure his sins would
find him out-but they did-and when he would rid
himself OF the wife of whom he had tired and could
not face with an easy conscience, he came into court
to blacken her character when his own hands were
.unclean.
He will be no less than a fool TO carry the farce
farther. The public is nauseated with the details
and with Still@sn's cheap and common behavior.

Time TO Take Hold

THE RoTARIANS discussed the matter of a
l. swimming poll yesterday at their MONDAY
luncheon and fully agreed to its desirability as n
recreation for young and old.
And come to look it over such a public feature
could be established without a very great outlay
of money. So far as the funds are concerned we
do not doubt for a moment they could be raised
in very brief time.
The point has been reached when all that seems
to be lacking is for some organization to take hold
and put it over.
We are all waiting to go in. not only in swim.
