WILL NOT EXTEND LIMIT.

Great Britain, as was expected, has
firmly declined the request OF our gov
ernment, transmitted through Secre-
tary Of State Hughes, to enter into a
treaty authorizing the reciprocal right
of search of vessels on the seas be-
yond the three-mtle limit This ex-
tension WAS desired by the Harding
administration as An aid to the en-
forcement OF the provisions OF the
volsteAd law in guarding against the
admission OF liquors to our shores on
vessels OF foreign nations.
There are intimauons from Paris
and Copenhagen, also. indicating that
the governments of France and Den
mark regard Attorney-G General Daugh-
erty's recent sweeping deciHon in re-
gard to liquor on ships coming into
our ports as applying only TO sales OF
liquors on such ships while they are
in our territory, and not as absolutely
barring their admission under penalty
OF seizure. But none here at homo
view the decision In that manner. II
Is held TO prohibit the bringing of
liquor into American territory, even
under lock and seal. not to be released
until the vessels again 80 upon the
high seas.
Here is ample promise of contro-
versies over this interesting and deli
cate matter. There is no doubt some
foreign vessels will disregard the de-
cision, and forcible seizure will follow
Then the disputed question will &C

and (2) to apply the American valua-

Essentially an exemplifcation of
the protective policy, the theory of
the new law ia that the duties levied
on imports shall equalze the costs

recognizes the fact that American
standards of living are generally better
ana higher than in any other country,
and that American labor is and must
be better paid, To maintain these
standards American producers and
American labor must not be subjected
to competition from abroad except on
terms that approximate equality in
production costs. and the only way to
accomplish this is through a tariff that

MORE POWER TO THE PRESIDENT
BY Frederic ]. Ffaskin.

Washington, Oct. 1S.--With the en-
actment OF the new Tariff law the
power OF tho President OF the United
States has beon Increased IN a way
and to degree that doubtless was
never dreamed OF by tho trainers OF
tho Constitution. The American Bx-
ecutive has long been the most power
ful in the world. but from now on,
unless the new law IL amended or re-
pealed. he may exercise authority un-
der which he might become the abso-
Lutte autocrat OF tho business affairs
of the nation.
Briefly stated. the provisions of the
new law make 4 possl bic for the Presi-
dent to reduce or to increase customs
duties. This is accomplished through
what is termed the flexible tariff.
when it is considered that almost
every business enterprise may be pres
pered or wrecked by the tariff. u we
are TO believe half that Is said when
lssuch legislation Is under consideration.
some idea OF the nature and extent
Of the new powers of the President
may be apprOX!mated. The American
| manufacturer. the American laborer
and the American farmer may find
their welfare entirely dependent upon
the decision OF cne man.
That Is something that would have
boen bitterly opposed a few years ago
| and il is a matter OF surprise to many
veteran observers OF national affairs

1t is true that tariff making IS no

But no white man should stay in that
country more than eight months at

reason for taking his vacation now.
He will spend few days in Pensa

Mr. Hull has one thousand Africans

to do his work, which requires so much
native labor.
He says that the African native is
unlike the negro in many ways-much
more intelligent in some ways and a
good match for the white man, on his
own ground.
/ Dialects to the number of 36o are
spoken by these natives, and some
times it is something of task just
to understand or be understood. In
spite of this, one gathers, the railroad
is pushing farther and farther into

Coming from the shores of the ant
