NNE evening Mary Jane took a
y long walk away into the forest
~ to meet Fairy Goldy-Shoes or
MIR. Sly, the fox, or some of the folks
that live over that way. But all of
sudden she saw little elf.
He was only about an inch and
half high, dressed all in green, and he
carried little umbrella in his hand,
for elves are always very particular
not to get their clothes wet.
The little elf said Hello, Mary Jane,
where are you going?" Mary Jane
said she was going over and try to see
MIR. Sly. This little elf, whose name
was Chlupsa Chmielewski, told Mary
Jane it was no use to see MIR. Sly, be-
cause MIR. Sly never ate anything but
spinach and radishes at that time of
the year.

Then he sat down and told Mary
Jane all about the elves and fairies.
And he invited Mary Jane to come
and dance with him the next reyel
they would hold. And Mary Jane said
she would, and she would bring some
delicious Mary Jane Syrup, and sliced
bread with her as treat for all the
little elves and their friends, the fairies.
Then Chlupsa Chmielewski stood on
one hand and wiggled his feet and
opened and shut his umbrella three

ways do when they mean to say good
bye. And Mary Jane went home,
where her mother had some delicious

The Right to Teach Revolution.

Does the right Of free speech include the
right to advocate the overthrow OF the govern
ment by violence? Does it even include the
right to teach doctrines inimical to the govern
ment Of this country? The answer to these
questions plainly 10 no. Yet the Rand School
Of Social Science in New York, an endowed
Socialist institution, insisted that It should be
answered afiirmatively. The contention arises
over the Lusk law, which requires certain
schools to be licensed and directs that licenses
b refused when the doctrines taught are in
imical to the government or advocate its over
throw by violence. The validity Of this law
has now been sustained by the New York ap-
pellate division. corresponding p our supreme
court. The decision is furiously denounced
BY New York radicals, who see 1t as sweeping
away all constitutional safeguards" On. the
contrary. 1t appears to be good law and good
sense. 1t Is important to have free speech
clearly defined. 1t is important to know that
the right to such revolution is not included In

The Tariff Shouldn't Be Political.

The late james Bryce, former British am
bassador to this country, the man who wrote
the best book On American politics, said that
the United states would have prospered under
any form Of government. Many economists
believe that America has prospered not be-
cause Of our, tariff policy. but in spite of it.
Originally the tariff protective system was in
stituted here for the purpose of protecting in
FAINT industries from foreign competition. Ours
was new country. rich in natural resources
and possibilities of growth, but lacking in
manufacturing capital, labor and machinery
In the early years We bought most of our manu-
featured goods in exchange for food ard raw
materials. Our struggling manufacturers asked
that a tariff or tax be levied on foreign manu-
facturers coming into this country so that the
domestic goods could fairly meet the competi-
ton of the foreign made article If for instance
we could not make WOODEN cloth for less than
81 yard while the English could produce
goods of like quality for 81 yard, the idea
was to tax the imported goods 81 yard so
that both foreign and domestic goods could
be sold at the same price, OF course the home
consumer had to pay higher price than il the
foreign goods were allowed to come in free,
but 1t was assumed that this was good econom-
les until the home manufacturer built up his
plant to the point where he could pkoduce as
cheaply as the English manufacturer. NBut the
demand for protection has never ceased. AL
though today we have the largest and most
edacient industrial plants in the world, the de-
mand for protection of these infants" is great
er than ever. Indeed these former infants have
become such giants and WELD such political
influence that the industries that really need
protection have no more chance than the runt
pig at the hog trough.
In the past Is years especially the tarin
tinkering has become farcical. Big interests
practically write their own tariffs and our
congressman pass tbs schedules almost YER
batim.l Most Of the congressman have neither
the training nor the time to grasp the intrica-
cies Of these measures and, as a matter of
fact. there is no one man in the country who
could qualify as an expert on more than one or
two Of the scores Of schedules making up q
tariff bill. There has been a constantly in
creasing pressure, therefore, to take the tariff
out OF politics and place the work of fact
nndtns in the hands Of an expert permanent
commission. Senator Frelinghuysen has offered
An amendment to the present bill m order to
provide for such commission. The ameud=
msnt ought to pass. For until this or some
similar plan u ADOPTED the American peopls
Vim simply continue T. b Aeseed BY the pov-
isrfal intsrssts Who vrits our tariffs for . sub-
