Copeland Tariff TRADE
Ignorance, Says Mills
Quotes Him as Blaming Shoe
Prices ON Fordney Bill When
They Are on Free List

''I myself heard Royal S. Copeland
say before a large audience that if
the price of shoes went up you could
blame the makers Of the Fordney
tariff bill, rather than the producers"
declared Ogden L. Mills, Republican
candidate for reelection to Congress
from the 17th District, last evening,
"and shoes are on the free list That
is merely an instance of the kind of
objections the Democrats make about
the tariff-a misstatement due entirely
to ignorance"
Mr.. Mills was speaking at rally
of Republican voters at the Leslie
third Street. Both he and Walter NJ.
Chandler, Congressional candidate
from the 18th District, were continu-
ously greeted with applause as they
cited the achievements of the Harding
Administration in getting the country
back to a peace-time basis and pros
perity. MIR. Mills said that the present
industrial and commercial revival
could be traced directly to the legis-
lation passed in the preceding eighteen
months-the restoration of credit to
the farmers, which re-establshed agri-
culture on a sound basis; the reduc-
ton in taxation, the passage of the
Fordney tariff and the liquidation of
our war Indebtedness.
In Mr.. Chandler's opinion never has
Congress had to meet such an over
whelming task as the preceding one
had in Strengthening out the tangle
left by the Wilson Administration.
"But due to the extraordinary genius
of Secretary Mellon, the untiring work
of President Harding-and there is no
man in the country who works harder
and the ability of the Republican
Congress, which had two years start
on the President, great things have
been accomplished" he said.

tial reductions in market bills. She
also pointed out that Governor Miller
had cut down state expenses, toward
which everybody, either through direct
taxation or through high costs, con-
tributes share.
More important than the above meas
ures. however, Mrs. Parsons put Gov
ernor Miller's welfare measure. 81
know that some persons have criticized
him for supporting the Davenport
Moore maternity infancy bill rather
than the Sheppard Towner bill," she
said. But when you realize that the
former bill avoids the Inconvenience
and expense and delay of Federal con-
trol, you will agree, think, that it is
preferable"
AS far as she had been able to ascer-
tain, Mrs. Parsons said, Miller was the
first Governor to visit every state in
stitution in person and satisfy himself
as to the individual needs of the wards
of the state: fact which, she said,
furnished an excellent answer to the
claim that Miller was cold and unimag-
inative and had added to the suffering
of the states wards by "cheese-pa
ing" policy.
The tripling of the appropriations to
the public schools by the Governor, his
iong record as a friend OF labor, his
provisions for the deaf, blind and Grip
pied children, his doubling of the ap-
preparations for state highway CON
struction and his prompt action in
eliminating the prospects CT coal
shortage, and its attendent profteer-
ing, were also cited by Mrs. Parsons.
In conclusion she said that Mr.. Smith,
though undeniably good fellow" had
been made by Tammany. and "a person
of his temperament will be loyal to
persons rather than to principles, to
Murphy rather than the whole COM
munity"

Tar,n,any Must Steal to
Win, Miller Tells Women
Governor Stresses Transit and
Port Authority Issues at
Harding end Coolidge Club

Governor Miller told the women
voters of the Harding and Coolidge
Club. at the Hotel Marie Antoinette,
yesterday that Republican victory was
assured next Tuesday.
"The only way the Democrats can
win is to steal the election, and we
don't propose to let them do that" he
said.
Governor Miller broke two traditions
of his campaign in appearing before
the Harding and Coolidge Club; first,
that of making only one speech q day,
and second, that of refraining from
taking part in local politics. He was
particularly glad to speak to the women
of the upper West Side, he said, as
he wanted to urge their support of two
candidates in the district-Ogden l..
Mills, candidate for Congress, and
Harold Riegelman, candidate for the
was the largest of the season, heard
the Governor with enthusiasm.
Governor Miller told the women they
should be particularly interested in the
Port Authority, because it would help
to reduce the high cost Of living
through improved terminal markets.
"The foundation has been laid and
this great work is now ready to go for
ward" he said, "but my opponent would
strike it down by creating deadlock
through the appointment of two men,-
bers representing the city administers
ton, who would tie up the work"
He then took up the transit contro-
versy. briefly, saying:
81 asked my opponent to defend his
administration, to square what he did
with what he now proposes to do. His
answer is an abiect confession of IRE
sponslbie government in that he says
he urged not what he wanted, but what
he thought hostile Legislature would
do. 1t was a confession of irresponsi-
Bile government; now we have responsi-
BILE government"
Governor Miller then touched the bus
situation, in the light of the Dem o.
cratic slogan of bringing the govern
ment closer to the people"s
I'VE had an example of what Tam
many Hall means when it seeks to
bring the government closer to the peo-
pie in the testimony of Grover Whalen
before the Transit Commission yester-
day." he said. "Two Tammany poll
ticians getting profits out of the opera
tior of the lines and 20 cent fare
being charged-that is what they mean
by government next to the people. It's
government nearer to Tammany Hall
that they want. They did it with the
docks and now they are trying to do
it with transit"
Ogden Mills devoted his speech to de-
Tending the new tariff law, telling the
women that it would not mean an in
crease in prices of clothing and other
necessities.
In the evening Mr.. Mills spoke at
Leslie Hall, Broadway and Eighty-third
Street, in company with United States
Senator James w. Wadsworth, who
urged the voters to send Mr.. Mills back
to Congress.

AL Smith Jr. Makes Debut
Fathers Old Friends Give Him
Warm Welcome i'm BROOKLYN

Al Smith Jr., who is going to cast
mis- first vote next Tuesday, made his
first campaign speech last night.
He spoke at Il meeting arranged by
former neighbors of his father now
living in Brooklyn at Acme HAIL,
Seventh Avenue and Ninth Street, in
the 18th Assembly District, which is
ore of the strongest Republican dis
tricts in the borough.
Being the son of his father, he
said, great deal might be expected
OF him and SO he would explain right
away that he came to see his fathers
old friends and in complete confidence
that whatever he might say, they
were going to vote for AL Smith ST..
The heartiness of the applause left no
doubt that whatever expectations they
might have had, the audience was not
disappointed in AL Smith Jr. The
meeting was followed by & dance.

there are some violations of the child

says. and the blame for them falls IN

And Their Ways
Archibald Marshall has changed
his plans for his new autumn novel,
and instead of publishing The
Rectory Family" as already an
nounced, he has decided to COM
plete story which he had started
and temporarily put aside. The
new book will probably bear the
title "Pippin" and is story of the
English countryside.
Joseph c. Lincoln has completed
the manuscript of a new novel
which the Appletons will publish in
the late autumn. Having finished
his labors upon it, he has proceeded
to his summer home on Cape Cod.
A hook about Charles Dickens as
a dramatist and critic from the pen
of Alexander Woollcott, the dra-
matte critic, is to be published by
Putnams next autumn. It's title is
"Mr. Dickens Goes to the Play"
The play by Ben Hecht, author of
the novel Erik Dorn," has just
been tried out in San Francisco and
is due to come to New York next
trf, fo &c 70

produced in New York at about the
time Hecht's new novel "Gargoyles"
Is to appear.
One of the interesting things
about Gilbert Frankau (author of
Peter Jameson" and a number of
other novels), whose Love Story
of Aliette Brunton" was published
here in June, is that his Julia Cav
endish of the new novel is more or
less a picture of Julia Frankau,
his mother, we'll known in England
and America under her pen name
of Frank Dandy. Like the mother
of the hero of his book, Frank
Dandy" was prolific novelist The
character of the book is a strong
and a touching one, which has been
singled out by the English critics
for especial praise.
Robert Haven Schauffler, author
of 'Fiddler's Luck" that set of
stories of a musician with the ar
mics, is just back from England,
where he has been writing poetry
and Willing away the time with
his cello for several months.
The restored cabin which once
sheltered Mark Twain on Jackass
Hill at Sonora, Cal, was presented
on June 10 to Tuolumne county by
w. j. Loring, a mining operator,
with Gov. Stephens making the
principal address. At the barbecue
which followed there was provi-
sion for 1000 guests.
Mrs. Norris's new novel, Certain
People Of Importance" which Dou-
bleday, Page & Co. will pub
lish in the early autumn, will not
be serialized. In this book Mrs.
Norris is said to have worked with
larger canvas than she has be-
fore employed. She has depicted
not only drama of individuals but
that Of a family and class.

Sam Ward, who was a banker and

Germany and always had warm
affection for him, in spite of their
being dissimilar in every way.
Says E. w. L.: "He was a most

on several occasions sold poems for
my father to newspapers OF pub
fishers at a much higher price than
my father would have dared to ask.

THERE was a certain incorrigible
i Olympian ponderosity about
those Bostonians of the days
of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow,
Oliver Wendell Holmes and James
Russell Lowell. They draped
themselves in their togas. Mark
Twain, in memorable after
dinner speech, attempted fiippancy
at their expense and repented in
sackcloth and ashes. Even in
their humor, when it was good, they
were frigidly Bostonian. Ernest
Wadsworth Longfellow recalls that
the great rival wits of Boston were
Daniel Curtis and Thomas Gold Ap-
pleton. 1t was Mr.. Curtis who
called Nahant "Cold Roast Boston,
and it was he who one cold winter
day entered the Studio Building on

wished that some one would tether

of the book. The review-probably
the only book review ever tele-

In women of letters pass
through the pages of Ernest Wads-
worth Longfellow's Random Men,

lished by the Houghton Mifflin
Company. The old Craigie House,
where the author was born and
where his distinguished father lived
almost from the time of his ap-
pointment as professor Of bellies
lettres at Harvard till his death in
1882, was a conspicuous center, at
tracing eminent Americans and
prominent literary visitors from
England. 1t was through the pub
Usher. James T. Fields, author OF
yesterdays With Authors" that
most OF the Englishmen found their
way TO Craigie House. Ernest
Wadsworth Longfellow remembers
Fields as "a large man with a
superb, curly black beard, a
great rdconteur. His wife was
rather small and frail looking. If
he got a crumb lodged in his beard
she would say, Jamie, there is a
gazelle in the garden which
amused his friends and became a
household expression in our fam
ily."
ENGLISH visitors were not al
IL ways as gracious and satisfac-
tory as they might have been. For
example, Lord Houghton (Monck-
ton Milnes) on his numerous visits
to America often dined with the
Longfellows. HE was very genial,
but rather eccentric, and had very
bad table manners. -. L saw
him afterward in London, where he
came to call on my wife and me.
He did nothing but laugh. as if he
thought it was huge joke that he
should have returned our call at
all; but in spite of the times he had
dined at my fathers house in Cam
bridge he did not invite us to his
house, nor did his daughters return
my wife's call. Different countries,
different ways" Nor was Ernest
Wadsworth Longfellow any more
impressed with Anthony Trollope,
finding him "a very loud voiced in
dividual, with the true British self
confidence. He boasted that he
made practice of always writing
just so many hours day, whether
he felt like it or not, which ac-
counts for much of his long drawn
out tediousness."

nHACkERAY, Mr.. LOngfellow
L does not remember, but
Dickens on his second visit was at
Craigie House several times for
luncheon OF dinner, and Mr.. Long
fellow recalls the famous walking
match between the Englishman and
the publisher Osgood, to which al
lusion has been recently made in
the book section. But on the whole
the American visitors seem to have
made far the best impression. Bay
ard Taylor was one. HE was
very handsome man of fine carriage,
and must have looked superb in the
Arab costume which he wore in his
travels in the East. He had many
thrilling tales to tell of his explora-
tions of unknown lands" Bret
Harte in Boston had so little sense
of locality that young Longfellow
was asked to pilot him back to his
lodgings after his first visit to
Craigie House. When Harte de-
livered a poem before the Phi Beta
Kappa Society every one was dis
appointed at his rather common
place and not at all appropriate
selection. But it was whispered
about privately that the reason was
that the poem he had prepared for
the occasion was destroyed the
night before by his wife, who was
known to be out of her mind, so
he had to take whatever he had
on hand"
