THE TARIFF DILEMMA

The administration would be happy if it knew
Just what sort of tariff bill the public would
approve at the next election. Unfortunately, how
ever, that point is extremely difficult to ascertain
The masses of the people, who have way of
marching solus in the political procession, have
given no sign that they are yearnng for high pro-
tection. There has been no nationwide cry for a
new dinner-pail filler On the contrary, judging
from appearances, the people have strong sus-
picion that one effect of additional taxes of any
kind will be to make the dinner pail harder to
FILL
Everything that sounds like tariff demand
comes from sources which by no stretch of imagi-
nation can be called popular. Yet the interests
demanding tariff favors are strong financially
the sort of fellows who head campaign subscrip-
tons and feed the elephant when she is hungry.
1t is an unpleasant and regre;table dilemma.
all the more so because we really believe MIR.
Harding wants to do about the right thing if he
can. That desire of his, we assume, has been
largely responsible for the delay in tariff legisa-
ten.
Upon the whole, therefore, the policy of the
Democratic members of both houses in simply
opposing the Fordney bill is the best thing that
can be done. Every day they stave it off is a
clear gain, because if prosperity. which our fnan-
cial physicians say is already on the wing and
headed this way. arrives before the bill is passed.
every vestge of argument for a high tariff will
disappear.
When in doubt what to discard, stand pat, after
all. is pretty good rule in politics.

THE AMERICAN EAGLE

The attempt to adapt the American eagle to
peace dollar requirements merely shows how much
we need distinctive American bird for our totum
pole. The eagle was borrowed While this
country has few native species of that bird, the
idea of using the eagle as national emblem runs
back thousands of years. The Romans adopted
it. So did the Austrians and Germans, and no
telling hoy many more nations.
By character the eagle is much better adapted
to these countries than ours He is not half so
noble bird as tradition makes him appear He
is close relative of the turkey buzzard the main
difference in habit being that he is little bigger,
and usually. though not always, takes his prey
alive. His so-called ''gameness' is that of the
big bully which always attacks interiors in size
and strength. Unlike his humber relative of the
vulure tribe, he is not good scavenger, and per-
forms useful function in the economy of nature.
On the Roman standard he was fairly typical
of the character of the conquerors. In his dis
tcrted form he was sufficiently accurate repre-
sentation of Cermany's bizarre ambition But he
suggests no American quality which the country
would not be better off without Why not let the
eagle go and adopt the suggestion of one of our
greatest and most typical American citizens by
elevahng the turkey, which is truly an American
bird. in his placer

AFRAID OF FORD

Henry Ford is perhaps the second richest man
in the United States. One would therefore expect
to find him hand in glove with the other magnates
of wealth who constitute the big business group.
But he is not, and it is interesting to study the
reason.
AS the Telegram has more than once pointed
out, the great difference between Ford and man of
the Rockefeller, Morgan and Schwab type is that
Ford has accepted in practice the principle of min
ilnum profits and maximum volume In business,
while they hold to the narrower theory of maximum
profits.
He is therefore a radical amcng the rich-that
is to say he has developed ideas which, if gener-
ally adopted, would deprive the present controllers
of The nations wealth of their prestige unless they
resored 10 the almost (for them) impossible ex-
pedient of changing their methods.
One difference between his methods and theirs,
arising from the distinction named above, is that,
while they merely put their dull, senseess dollars
to work and sit back and reap the reward he
anima.es his dollars with brains--his own or those
of ohers-and thus vastly increases their efficiency.
Opposition to his nitrate plant proposal is there
fore inspired by genuine class consciousness"
Should he succeed in applying his methods on
mammoth scale at Mus5el Shoals. demonstrating
their superiority over the methods generally in
vogue In big business, the example would be fol-
lowed by others. The business field would be
invaded by disciples of the Ford idea and the
hold on public affairs which the present leaders
of business enjoy would be seriously threatened.
What wonder, then. that the proposal is held
back by the war department as long as possible.
What wonder that every newspaper in The United
States which is subseryient 10 the threatened bust
ness regime is busy trying to dscredit Ford and his
Alabama project. 1t is net a mere business mat
ter, to be thought Of in terms Of dollars and cents.
1t is the introduction of a new principle which
may necessitatc a total reversal of business meth
DDS in every industry.
There is not today before congress or any of
the world councils and conferences political mat
ter which equals in its possibilities of far reach

China stationary for centuries while the rest of the

RE-ESTARLISHING LEE
SCHOOL oE JOURNALISM
(Florida Metropoks.)


(Florida Metropohs.)
This is the birthday of Robert E. Lee, the be-
loved son of the South who led the armies of the
Confederacy through four years of war, with hon.
or to himself and glory to the section whose cause
he defended with his sword.
The South has had many heroes. but none shall
ever be closer to the hearts of the people than
this gallant of Virginia, who although offered
communicated of the Union forces, resigned
from the United States army and cast his lot
with the land of his birth, for purely sentimental
reasons. The name and life of Lee shall live as
long as the world respects virility and places a
premium upon devotion.
1t is entirely fitting that on this day the cam
paign for the re-establishment of the Lee Memoir
ia School of Journalism should be launched, I'M
der the auspices of the Southern Newspaper Pub.
fishers Association
This school of journalism will be located at
Washington and Lee University, Lexington, Va,
and the purpose of it will be to perpetuate the
name of Robert E. Lee in a constructive manner
in behalf of the section he loved. General Lee
was deeply interested in education and devoted
much of his life to it.
In an age when college training meant only
Latin, Creek philosophy and mathematics, when
practical" studies and student laboratories and
the chairs of English and modern languages were
practically unknown in college circles, when law
taught almost entirely in lawyers Offices
through private instruction, and our modern uni
versity schools of journalism and of commerce
were undreamed of; in a little mountain village
fifty miles from the nearest railroad; in a To-
cality and a section desoated and impoverished
almost beyond conception by the hellish ravages
of invading armies, General Lee in five years
gathered a large faculty, secured for the times
an ample endowment, built necessary buildings,
gathered the largest student-body in the South,
and made his institution not only financially pros
porous but the conspicuous center of southern
higher education, crowded with eager ex-soder
students from every southern state
Yet these achievements as an administrator
were far outdone by the educational transforma-
ton of a typical classical collge into institu-
ton full generation ahead of it's times. In five
short years he added schools of law, of journal
ism, and of engineering, departments of physics,
English, modern languages and had already
planned what would have been the first college
school of commerce and business administration
when worn out with his hercuean labors he fell
at his post, and left his institution as his legacy
to his beloved land

TAINTED MONEY

j. Highlow Jigsmth rides in state in his large
Limousine; he has the price, he pays the freight,
he's loaded with long green. Bystanders view him
as he goes, and mutter, while they look, He
looms up big and yet he knows that he is but
crook" They sadly murmur as they gaze, "He is
the chief of sharks; he got his money swindling
jays and rubes and easy marks" The people
dwell his deeds upon and all his deeds they know,
they know his record pro and con, and also to
and fro. And whenever he appears, as Bung-
towns one best bet, they dig up from the by
gone years the things he would forget. often
think, when saving wood at fifty cents cord,
that it is better to be good and gain a small
ward. I'd hate to own stack of brass, and
Croesus-like appear, and have men whisper as |
pass, the things I'd hate to hear. l often think,
while herding ducks, or drinking drugstore izz,
that countless rolls of shining bucks won't buy
the best there is. massive fortune costs too
much, and twice too much again. if the possessor
gets in Dutch with honest fellow men. J. High
low rides around in state, in opulence sublime;
but had he always Travelled straight he'd have
better time.

Daily Poem
LOVES LESSON

(Jean B.ewett in Toronto Globe.l
One lesson let US bear in mind,
Be very gentle with our own,
Be to their faults a little blind,
Nor wound them by look or tone
Put self behind, turn tender eyes,
Keep back the words that hurt and
sting
We learn-when sorrow makes us
Forbearance is the kindest thing.
Be patient lest some day We tur1
Our eyes on loved ones fast asleep,
And whisper as we lean and yearn,
How often l have made you weep!
Some loved you not, and words let
fall
That must have pierced your gen.
tie breast,
But Who loved you best of all
Did hurt you more than all the
rest!'
One lesson Isl us bear in mind:
To hold our dear ones close and
fast,
Since loyal hearts are hard to find,
And life and love so soon are past.

THE STATUS OF FLORIDA WOMEN
Miami Metronolis.l

Many well-read in Florida are of
course, cognizant of the fact that the adoption
of the suffrage amendment did not by any means
endow them with the same political or property
rights guaranteed to the men of Florida But to
many other Florida women and 20 newcomers
who have not had time opportunity to study
the states laws, a statement of the National WON
ans Party regarding the status of Florida women
will come decided shock.
In Florida, as the Womans Party investigators
point out, women are under the domination of
the old English common law to greater extent
perhaps than they are in any other state of the
Union. According to the common law" says the
clever writer for the Woman's Party "a man
and his wife person and that person is
the husband. A married woman could make no
contract of any kind And this is true in Florida
today with a few exceptions.
Even the wife's separate property In Flor
ida says the report, lis controlled by her hus.
band; she may not sue him tc secure an account
ing of what he has done with her money
"A married woman cannot become a respon-
sible public merchant unless the court gives her
permission. The promissory note Of a married
woman is vod she is not able to enter into
legal partnership. court decision has ruled
that married woman does not have the right
to hire domestic servants
"A married woman working in a business dis.
tinct from her husband may control her own
earnings, but if she works in her husbands bus
mess or at home, for instance keeping boarders,
her earnings her husbands.
"The father controls his children; the mother
is the sole guardian of her illegitimate child He
may appoint guardians for his children born
or unborn by deed or wI taking them entirely
away from the mother. careful review of all
important decisions in suits between parents
shows only four where the custody of a
child was awarded to its mother The father
alone can collect damages for the death OF a
minor child he can even collect for the mental
pain and suffering of the mother in such cases
1.-THE married woman's domicile is that of her
husband.
Women may be excluded from pubic Offices
in cases where bonds are required since married
women are not authorized to give bonds
women are not admitted to the State Uni
versity."
| With that information to guide them, it would
seem that the women's clubs and political organ
izations of Florida would have some very definite
work laid out for their attention

JUST IMAGINE CHINA

China is so much in the public eye that it would
be well for everybody to get as accurate concep-
ton as possible of that country
1t is hard 10 do China is so far away, and
the things nearer home loom so large in the eye,
that we naturally get an impression of an insight
6cant land inhabited by Insignificant people, and
constituting but Insignificant factor in the prob
lens which confront the world But we must con-
ceive Of different China to get anywhere near
the truth
Nobody ever travelled for the first time over the
vast stretches CT land which constitutes the United
States without marvelng at its size and the number
of people it contains With picture of America
In mind we in position to try to picture China.
Imagine then a country one third larger in area,
stretching, as America does, from the border of
the tropics to the far NORTH with every variety of
climate and landscape. Picture it threaded with
rivers rivaling in size the Mssissippi with plains
like those Of our own west, with cities equal in
population to Chicago. Philadelphia Boston and
St. Louis scattered thick over large portion of
this vast area. Picture population four times
as numerous as ours-400. 100000 people-one-
fourth of the whole human race-90 per cent of
them tilling the soil, which is cultivated as closely
as a garden, by methods in vogue 1000 years
ago. Picture this population with strange super
stitions Traditions running back not centuries but
milleniums, with religion or rather many re-
ligions. and many systems of philosophy bound to-
gether by racial ties which have all the strength of
age old instincts and at the same time gifted with
natural intelligence which is in no degree different

The princess displayed wonderful skill and the experts are of the opinion that she may yet prove to be one of tho most formidable challensers for Mile. Lenglen's title of queen of the courts"
 Princess Lobkowichzova, who is newcomer in western Europe courts, proved the surprise of the tourna- ment thus far, defeating Mrs. Sat terthwaite without allowing her op- ponent a single game. The princess has a peculiar twisting service which the English woman was unable to solve, while on the othor hand Mrs. Satterthwaite's service was returned practically every time. and, after short volleying, the princess, with beautiful placements, invariably won points and games.
