May 20 our wheat exports this year
under the emergency tariff have been
very much lower than the wheat ex-
ports were for the corresponding
weeks last year before the emergency
tariff.
Perhaps it can explain why for
the forty-seven weeks ending with
May 25 last year. before the emer-
gency tariff, our exports of wheat
were 51,000.000 bushels more than
they have been for the forty.seven
weeks this year under the emer-
gency tariff.
And perhaps it will explain why
various of our exports of manufac-
lures also look sick unto death now
under the workings OF the emergency
tariff as compared with the year be-
fore, when there was no emergency
tariff.
Perhaps, indeed, the time may
come, after longer and more bitter
experience with such foreign trade
havoc. when it will have penetrated
even the heads Of the Fordneys and
the McCumbers that not the most
profitable business in the world for
the country is saving at the spigot
and wasting at the bunghole. But
will 1t then be tco late?

President Now a Horseman.

While President HARpING's favor
ite outdoor pastime is golf he is
fond of horseback riding and can be
seen almost every Sunday morning
on the back of his fine horse Har-
bell, which recently won blue rib
bon in strong class at the National
Capital Horse Show.
Washington with its splendid park
system has special appeal for the
equestrian. Access to much desir-
able galloping country may be had
by crossing the Potomac into Vir-
ginia. For those who want to hunt
the region around the Plains and
Warrenton affords ample opportuni-
ties for indulgence in sport which
is becoming more and more popular
wherever thoroughbred and halfbred
horses are available as hunters. Be-
cause of these opportunities to ride
there is a more widespread interest
in the horse around Washington
than existed before the Potomac
Park system was developed. In max
ing riding popular the Remount Ser.
vice OF the army has exerted a
helpful influence.
Many Presidents OF the United
States have been fine horsemen.
WASHINGTON, despite his weight, was
fearless rider to hounds, and
ANDREW JACKSON trained his own
horses and could have ridden them
in their races as skillfully as any
professional horseman.
GRANT was at home in the saddle
also. He was an expert rcinsman as
we'll and loved to drive fast team.
ARTHUR always had several fine car
riage teams and GROVER CLEVELAND
was fond OF high stepping pair OF
carriage horses. RoosEvELT's fancy
ran to the Western type OF horse,
the quick, sure footed kind that he
had known in the range days when
he was winning back his health.
WOODROW WILSON was not horse
man when he was elected President.
but under the influence OF his ply
sician, Rear Admiral GRAYsoN, he
took up horseback riding and was
seen in Potomac Park frequently on
the halfbred horse Democrat by Oc-
tagon. Thus in taking to the saddle
President HARDING is merely follow
Ing tradition. While golf is good
game, he will find the horse pleas
ant relief when he is pulling his
drives and foozling his approaches.

The Name of o. Henry.
A Suggestion That II May Have Been
Taken From q Story By BaIzac.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: In the
article entitled Where o. Henry Found
the Name" you say that William sid
ney Porter first used the name 0. Henry
while In New Orleans. that this name
occurs frequently in two books. one
"Analyse Chimique." the other being
the United States Dispensatory. and that
Porter was. moreover, drug clerk first
In North Carolina, his home State, and
also elsewhere
But. let me ask. does not Balzac fur
nish the solution?
Remember. please that Porter shows
desire TO get away from Greensboro
OF that time, where he was drug
clerk; that Porter after being in Texas
finds himself in New Orleans, then, at
least In appearance. more French than
now. and that finally from New Orleans.
according to Al Jennings's recent lee
ture. both started on that sea trip, and
also, by extension, that Porter uses very
sparingly but always with delightful ef-
feet few Spanish words.
Porter. II might easily be presumed,
read some French authors either in the
original or translations while in New
Orleans. and considering his experiences
some particular story or incident OF a
story is likely to Impress him very
deeply. and so the name o. Henry In the
story called "Ferragus" which is in
cluded in the volume "Histoire des
Freize" appeals to him.
This use OF the words o. Henry by
Balzac will be found in the letter writ
ten to Ida. The letter Is accidentally
dropped by that unkempt stranger and
picked up by Auguste de Maulincour
while these two and others are tempo
rarily sheltered in doorway during a
Paris rainstorm, and it proves to be a
heartrending letter, poignant with alb
ject misery. anguish and hopeless de-
spar. The pleading expression, o
Henry. is used midway in its text. The
letter starts thus. Henry
Was 1t not Ida's letter in Balzac's
''Ferragus'' rather than that useful drug
trade tool book. the United States Dis
pcnsatory. and It's chum that suggested
the name? In either event the inspira-
ton appears to hark back to France.

Tribute to Late Firancier.

lomatic and official life OF Washington.
memorial services for the late Henry =.
Dawson were held to-day in the ma
tionaI headquarters of the American Red
Cross.
Judge John Barton Payne, chairman
of the society. presided, and the eulogy
was delivered by DIR. Stockton Axson.
who was national secretary OF the Red
Cross during the period Mr.. Dawson
was chairman of the War Council.
1T is not to a lonely grave on Long
Island that our thoughts go this after
noon," said DIR. Axson. but to the liv-
ing presence that infected US with its
own vibrant faith. The significant fact
Is not that Mr.. Dawson is dead but
that he lived. so that the chief note Of
our tribute Is not of sorrow but of
triumph"
Reviewing the circumstances under
which Mr.. Dawson accepted President
Wilson's invitation to organize the
American Red Cross for rs work IN the
war, DR.. Arson stated that Mr. Dawson
accepted the post only on condition that
plans for s15.00o,0o0 war fund be
abandoned and one calling for 100000
900 substituted 1t was this vision and
faith In the American people that made
Mr. Davison'r work the most remark
able in the history of humanitarian ef-
fort, declared the speaker. FOR he
clearly saw that only gigantic Red
Cross could serve the gigantic army and
navy the United States was raising"
DR.. Axson also paid feeling tribute
to the personality which endeared Mr..
Dawson to the thousand with whom he
came IN contact, particularly in connec-
tion with his Red Cross work.
