More Tariff Revolt.

In the immediate damage the Nc
Cumber tariff measure is capable Of
doing to the country 1t is important
that Senator EDGE of New Jersey
ioins other Republican members Of
the Senate who cannot swallow that
tariff monstrosity. Before this ses-
sion ends there should be a consider
able enlargement of the number of
Republican Senators with too much
economic sense to be willing to put
insufferable burdens on the American
people and too much political sense
to be willing to wreck their party
in that way.
But whether some Of the economic
poison, together with some Of the
political dynamite. is or is not ex-
tracted from the McCumber measure,
1t is still more important in the
longer view and for the more lasting
consequences that Congress mem
bers who recognize and denounce
the extravagances and evils of the
McCumber bill drive home, as Sen
ator EDGE does. the fundamental err
ror and danger of our present sys-
tenn of tariff making. Our tariff
makers, by the way they go at II
now, don't know what they are doing
when they set out to throw together
new tariff measure or to patch ur
an old one. They don't know al
the facts and conditions in the vari.
Gus foreign Industries. They don't
know all the facts and conditions in
our own industries. II they happer
to know some Of the facts and some
of the conditions they are as likely
as not to be wholly ignorant Of the
underlying causes of those facts ant
conditions, and they are more thar
likely to be utterly oblivious of wha
will result from them.
Tariff making, as our Congresses
now do the work, Is nothing better
than a spectacle Of economic blint
mans buff, and blind mans buff, al
that, on the slippery edge OF danger
and disaster. 1t cannot be anything
wiser and 1t cannot be anything safer
so long as work Of such immeasur.
able concern to the country is being
done by men who really don't Inov
what they are about. and. undef thu

N A thrasher shark, also off the Jer-

only to meet the same fate.

Making Bread Appetizing.

In an endeavor to get the children
Of the United States to eat more
bread the Federal Government makes
plea for varied baking. Brown
bread, corn bread and white bread
on successive days would stimulate
appetites, experts urge, and so would
baking the -four in fanciful shapes or
shaping sandwiches with cake cut
ter or other device.
Every boy or girl from country
district who carried a lunch to
school recalls the delights Of unpack-
ing the food supplied by thought
full mother. Sometimes there was
the gingerbread man with his legs
crossed, or the regular twister-a
man with legs so wrapped about each
other that he seemed the limit in the
way of fancy and ingenuity on the
part OF the baker.
Who of the tribe does not remem-
ber the currant or raisin bread sc
pleasing to the palate that invariably
the city visitor begged for a loaf!
This is another appetizing formula
long familiar to country folk which
UNCLE SAM asks the country at large
to produce. The addition Of nut
meats Of various kinds to white OF
brown bread will convert any nor
nal child into &n oliver Twist insist
emily asking for more.
Food Is just as essential in thu
development of child as 1t is in 6
horse or any other animal. Changt
of ration is as beneficial for human
ity as for the lower order Of crea
lures and should be encouraged.

The Presidents Proclamation.

President HARDING's proclamation
against interference with the trans
portation of United States mails and
interstate commerce serves to remind
Americanism with painful vividness
of how far and how fast lawlessness
and violence will go when they are
not checked with decision and vigor
at the very start.
After all the open and tragic his
tory of the consequences of interfer-
ence with the United States mails,
from the Chicago eruption suppressed
in the rugged days when GROVER
CLEVELAND was President to the ma
rine guarded trains under Postmas-
ter-General HAYS only few months
ago, everybody ought to know enough
on the subject to let the United
States mails alone.
Any officer of law and authority,
whether his writ runs from the
Federal Government or from State
1ONeTllueuI, OuSHl W huoW CAOu6A
on the subject to be able to realize
that when lawiessness is so embold-
ened as to interfere with the United
States mails it has been weakly or
viciously suffered to go far beyond
all bounds by those in the seats of
government who should have stopped
1t short in its tracks.
When, in other words, 1t becomes
necessary for the President of the
United States to issue such a procla-
nation as President HARDING has
felt called upon to issue, that procla-
nation does not stand merely as an
indictment of those guilty of commit
ting the specific illegal and crimi-
nal acts; it stands as an indictment
Of every officer Of the law guilty Of
countenancing and tolerating those
illegal and criminal acts.

idea now fully realized by thousands,
that spiritual mental activity alone
brings it's daily reward in peace. Joy and

Individual through right thinking can
shape his thought to bring out peace

A Good Field for the A. f. L.

The American Federation of La
Dor, acting through its president
SAM GoMpERs, and its State organ
izer, HUGH FRAYNE, has taken away
the charter of the Bookkeepers, Ste
nographers and Accountants Union,
No. 12646, because, it Is alleged, there
are communists among it's members.
This is probably good thing for the
American Federation of Labor. Com,
munists are wreckers, and If they get
hold of lawabiding union they are
likely to turn it into lawbreaker.
The American Federation of Labor
enlisted on the side of relentless, un-
firing, twenty-four hour day pur-
suit of enemies Of good order, what
ever they called themselves and wher-
ever they were operating. would pre-
sent a heartening spectacle for al
lovers Of public peace.

The solution of this problem OF

lies in the principles of measure

This commission, which would have
to take politics out of and put eco

to meet the very grave need of the
general tariff situation, would be au-

Blood and Thunder.

A Bridgeport newsdealer has re-
marked the resurrection Of the dime
novel. During the war and for some
time afterward its life was threatened
by the scarcity and high cost Of
paper. The Improvement in the paper
situation has been accompanied by a
vigorous revival of the dime snovel.
But along with this restoration Of the
paper backs the Bridgeport news
dealer has observed remarkable
change in his patronage.
1t is not the youngsters but their
older brothers and their fathers who
are reading Diamond Dick" and "The
James Boys" mick Carter" and "Old
Sleuth." This newsdealer finds that
the majority of his customers who go
in for that type of fiction are more
than 21.
Coming on the heels of WILLIAM
ALLEN WHITES discovery that there
wasn't one boy in Emporia who was
interested In competitive dog
parade. this news from Bridgeport
must further stimulate the scratching
Of heads by philosophers looking on
the new generation. Boys to-day, ap-
parently, are hard headed, practical
young citizens, with no time for SUI
perfluous fluff. They don't have much
leisure left over after constructing
the new radio set, keeping up with
the changes in automobile designs and
soliciting magazine subscriptions.
Yet they are reported as finding
time to enjoy the deeds of Frank
Merriwell," a series of stories cele-
brating feats Of athletic prowess.
These, according to the Bridgeport
dealer, are their favorites among the
paper backs. That is only natural.
Nothing is more real or more worth
while in the boys mind than athletic
achievement. 1t is better to be Babe
RUTH than to be President.
But why this increased adult yearn-
ing for two gun exploits and desper-
ate situations? Certainly life isn't
growing any tanner. The man who
is looking for trouble nowadays need
not go hunting for 1t in dime novels.

THURSDAY. JULY 1s. 1922.
McAneny's Rebuke to Hylan.

Chairman MCANENY OF the Transit
Commission has properly and effec-
lively rebuked Mayor HYLAN for his
unjustifiedly alarming utterances con-
cerning safety in the subway.
The Mayors statements were In
spired by the short circuit and fire in
a switch box which occurred a week
ago to-day on the Lexington avenue
line at Fifty-ninth street. The out
standing and impressive fact regard
ing that accident was that, although
400 persons were involved, not sim
gle fatality was attributable to it.
The fire extinguishers used to COM
bat the flames are now declared to be
of type unsuited for this purpose;
the only criticism which can fairly
be made of the precautions taken by
the operators of the road must be
based on the adoption of this fire ex-
tipguisher, and that criticism, If it is
deserved at all, is deserved by the
city authorities, the Transit Com
mission and it's predecessors, as much
as by the operators Of the road.
After this remarkable demonstra-
tion of the high efficiency of the
safety devices installed in the sub
way Mayor HYLAN, with characteris-
tic righteousness, began to call for
the installation of a lighting system
in the subway independent Of the car
lighting system.
The answer to this is that there is
such lighting system and it func-
toned perfectly on July 6.
The Mayor lamented that the pas
sengers had to take to the tracks tc
reach the stations or emergency ex-
It's" Mr.. McANENY points out that
''as a matter of fact the exits are
reached through side paths even In
height with the car DOORS" 1t is
also fact that in emergencies the
current can be shut off from the
third rail.
Mayor HYLAN's utterances on tech
nical subjects are completely negli
gible. Unfortunately, however, hi!
broad, unbiased generalizations arr
read by others besides men techni
cally informed. They are read b!
the millions who use the subway!
every day, and who, having no reasor
to inform themselves on TECHNICAL
ties, do not know the facts.
Every man and woman who con
siders the facts knows that at an.
moment there may be an accident, ol
any transportation line. The mar
velous record of safe subway opera
ton in New York does not negativ
this possibility. The principal thinl
to guard against in such an acciden
is panic. Panic in the accident o
July would have meant terribl
list of injured, perhaps a terribl
list of dead.
Such outgivings as those Of Mayo
HyLAN are certainly not likely t
cultivate a state Of mind conduciv
to calm in accidents among subwa.
travellers. On the contrary, they ar
likely to fill them with unnervin
fears. They consequently deserv
rebuke, and this rebuke Mr.. McANEN
has administered to Mayor HYLAN.
