GREAT TARIFF TRUTHS
WHICH SHOULD BE REMEMBERED

Senator Lodge, in the course Of the
debate on the wool schedule of the
pending tariff bill, said Senators rep
resenting the manufacturing states
must make up their minds that the
well being of the wool grower was
fully as important to their as the well
being of the manufacturer; that, if in
stead of helping each other, the manu-
facturer and grower attacked each
other, there would be but one end, the
destruction of the industry. If we
have no American wool, there will be
no competition with the foreigners,
and consumers will bitterly regret the
day when they we're left to the tender
mercies Of foreign wool growers"
To this let us add a short quotation
from the New York Mail, which re-
Gently printed the following:
"a tariff for protection is the policy
that has developed every American
industry, maintained every American
wage scale above the competing wage
scale in other countries and made the
American wage Garner the best paid
Workingman in the world. Every pro-
tective tariff law has encouraged in
dustrial expansion and created pros
perity.
eff you want fair wages and fair
opportunity to sell in the American
market, then you must favor protec-
tion-you must insist upon a tariff
that will make up the differences be-
tween our costs and foreign costs; If
you are not interested in wages and
are willing to sell your products be-
low cost, whether from farm or fac
tory, the free trade or an ineffective
tariff-"for revenue only is what
you want"
These simple tariff truths should be
borne in mind at all time. Whatever
turn the debate at Washington may
take, it is finally an effort Of the Re-
publicans to provide protection for
American industry, and Of the Demo-
Gratis to defeat that effort and conti-
nue. the free trade policy of the Wilson
which created the
bread lines of 1913-14.-Omaha Bee.

The STRAW MAN" THE
PRESIDENT KNOCKED DOWN

Samuel Gompers says that in MAX
] ing reply to a local railway organiza-
ton publicity chairman relative to the
railway and coal strikes, President
Harding knocked down "a straw man. "
He declares that he is unable to find
that the man who wrote the letter
! quoted by President Harding was au-
thOrized to express the views of his
fellow unionists or Of organized labor
in general.
Mr.. Gompers ought to make little
closer investigation Of the attitude Of
the railway organizations. He will
find that they are fully as misrepre-
sentative of the rank and file of labor
as the man to whom President Hard
ing addressed his reply. The several
national and international railway
unions have been committed by their
leaders to partnership in the publica-
tion of political which is edited in a
building just across the street from
that in which Mr.. Gompers has his
Office. The funds of these organiza-
tions have been used in huge quanti-
ties to promote this publication. From
the day of President Harding's inaug-
uratiOn the columns of this paper, pre-
sided over by rank partisan Democrats
and socialists, have reeked with abuse
of President Harding and attacks up
on the Republican administration and
Congress. The statements made in
this periodical were entirely in line
in every respect with the expressions
contained in the letter to which Pres
ident Harding replied.
The rank and file of organized labor
is beginning to wake up to the fact
that their cause has been betrayed by
autocratic leaders vastly more inter
ested in the attainment of personal
and partisan ends than in the promo
ton of the economic interests of labor.
The taxing of hundred of thousands Of
wage earners to provide huge cam
paign funds for the promotion of So
cialistic propaganda and the further
ance of the purposes of certain am
bilious politicians is a gross perVer-
sion of the legitimate functions of
labor organizations. A huge majority
of the members of organized labor,
left free to decide for themselves,
without propaganda or coercion,
would utterly repudiate such .senti-
ments as those their money is being
spent to circulate by the demasOgic
politicians who have gained control of
their organizations and are utilizing
them for personal and partisan pur-
poses in a way quite unprecedented
in the previous history of the Ameri-
can labor movement.
If President Harding has knocked |
down "straw man" it is one close
political associates of Mr.. Gompers
have been busily engaged in erecting
ever since the defeat of the Demo-
cratic party in 1920. And maybe it
is, after all, just STRAW man." for
the vast majority of American work.

to be used. by ambitious leaders in
selfishly playing the game Of politics.

TO SELECT TEAM
WINNERS AT FAIR
DELAWARE BOYS AND GIRLS TO COM
PETE FOR TRIP TO SPRINGFIELD.
DISPLAY WILL BE FINE.

Because the final selection Of the
four teams of boys and girls who will
be sent to the Springfield, Mass, ex-
position as representing Delaware will
be made at the Delaware State Fair
at Elsmere, the utmost interest cen
ters about what the boys and girls in
their club work demonstrate during
Fair week. These hundreds of mem
bers of Boys and Girls Clubs under
the supervision of the Extension De-
partment Of the University of Della
ware will vie with each other for
honors, and the competition this year
promises to be the strongest and most
diversified ever witnessed at any Del
aware fair.
Girls from Delmar to Sharpley, and
from the Welch Trace to Ocean View
will compete for prizes on canned
goods, home made clothes and hats.
Pig Club boys from Bridgeville up to
Townsend will strive for the coveted
blue ribbon for their porkers. More
than one thousand boys and girls will
be represented in the competitions and
they will contest for honors both as
individuals and as clubs and as COM
mittees.
The display by the girls of canned
fruit and vegetables, t1anked by their
skill at needleWOrk will be nothing
short of beautiful both to the epicure
and practical worker. The exhibits
have been prepared under the direc-
ton of the three country club agents,
Dorothy Emerson, Sussex county;
Helen L. Comstock, Kent county, and
Agnes P. Medill, New Castle county.
One of the features of the show will
be the skill displayed at millinery by
the girls, who have made hats at
much lower prices than they could
be procured even at cut price stores.
The boys side of the exhibit will
show how they raise cattle, hogs and
poultry, and they will be able to tell
YOU how to put on a pound on a salt
or porker and how to pick out the
hen that will lay the greatest number
of eggs. From Tuesday until Friday
those seeking the highest honors that
is being sent to the Springfield Fair
will be on the anxious bench, and not
until Friday is it likely that the judges
will announce their decision.
In speaking of the years fair, State |
Club Leader A. D. Cobb said: Il do |
not think there is any doubt but that |
this exhibit of club work will far sur |
pass that of any other year. Our
leaders have been working harder, the |
club members have achieved higher !
standards, and we have greater dis
tribution of projects. After the people |
have viewed the exhibits I feel salts
fed that 1 have not, over stated the
exhibit that is being planned and
which will be on display at the fair"

PURE PRESCRIPTION PHUN

Writing a prescription for smile
is a profitable side-line for some med
icos, if we are to believe the jokes ap-
pearing here, there, and everywhere.
| Since a certain law went into effect it
has affected many of the jolly good
| fellows who used to get together for
a "smile." The old river Of glistening
beverage isn't on tap anymore to lub-
ricate the parched throat. Nowatimes,
our friends are lucky if they get their
thirst quenched by the drop. This
sounds like the instructions on doc
tors prescription. No wonder! Don't
you have to get prescription to pro-
cure the guaranteed genuine "stuf?"
Now. getting these little passes to a
pint, or an ounce, isn't so very easy.
But that doesn't worry us now, be
cause we're going to treat you to an
other kind of "smile" and we can

you to attend theatres showing that

aptly the difficulty of naming a per

tive near or distant, his or her name
is sure to be perpetuated by at least

Strawberries and Rhubarb.-Even
if strawberries are scarce and high.
one may still enjoy that popular fruit
by combining an equal quantity of
rhubarb with the berries. Cut the
rhubarb into one-inch pieces. Pick

berries. Put the rhubarb into pre-
