story of life about US, the great tragic
events that are looming before us in
Europe and in Asia, and the great
comedy that should cramp our sides
with anguished laughter here in
America, should hold US tightly upon
the planet. Yet twenty thousand of us

FIRST JUDGMENT OFTEN UN-
SOUND

Heine, great poet with no know
ledge of race problems, heard that an
American clergyman had been tarred
and feathered because he consented
to the marriage of his white daughter
and a negro, The crowd wanted to
murder the negro, and Heine, sympa-
thizing without understanding, ex-
claimed concerning America, "Oh,
freedom, thou wicked dream!"
Freedom, however, in real life, is
not the dream, wicked or blissful, of
a poet far away. II is the will and the
plan of the mass of the people. They
don't write poetry, but they know
that the black and the white races
MUST NOT BE MIXED.
They know that white women must
not marry black men, for the sake
of the black men especially, to save
them from murder, and to save the
race from deterioration.
You read recently, perhaps, of
white girl supposed to be bent on
marrying a black man out of mis-
placed sympathy. Everybody knows
that nothing worse could happen to
the black man. except the thing in
fnitely worse that would happen to
the white girl.
The rarity of the thing shows that
Nature has wound up human beings
in such a way as to protect them.
miraculously. from the particular kind
of freedom" dreamed Of by the badly
informed Heine-Wisconsin News.

WORLD MARKETS FOR FAR
MERS

In arguing in favor of adequate
merchant marine legislation Presi-
dent Howard Of the Farm Bureau
! federation took occasion the other
/ day to disavow all sympathy with
those alleged spokesman of the agri-
cultural industry who belittle the con-
tribution of foreign trade to the well
fare of that industry.
Farmers are now demanding in
creased protection and are getting it.
But Mr.. Howard reminded them that
crops, like manufactured goods, must
have outlets If" he continued,
American homes and the American
standard of living are to be main
tanned. American products must be
sold abroad" He concluded with the
forecful words, I'VE must fight for
the market"
Improved waterways, new water
routes, cooperation between railroads
and steamship companies are indirect
means of fighting for foreign mar
kets. Intelligent and just merchant
marine legislation is designed, among
other things, to insure the farmer
cheap transportation TO old world
markets. But these means alone will
not suffice to maintain and constantly
expand the foreign markets needed
by the American farmer. Excessive
protection closes foreign markets to
him. This has happened in the case
of Canada. The so-called provisional
tariff has injured the dominion, but
it has injured the United States even
more. Imports from Canada to the
United States have fallen off. but so
have exports from the United States
to Canada, and to a greater extent.
The McCumber tariff is supposed to
be favorable to agriculture and the
agricultural bloc claims the credit.
But it will do the farmer more harm
than good if it deprives him of for
eign outlets, directly or indirectly. and
if it results in higher prices for man
ufactured goods. Foreigners - and
again Canada is an example-retal-
late against excessive protection, and
tariff warfare is detriment to all con-
cerned. That sort of warfare does
not conquer foreign markets; il sacri-
fees them.-Chicago Daily News.

that day stolen. These tickets hav-

grounds, the officials believe the
theft was the work of boys. Several
boys have gotten themselves into
difficulty by attempting 10 use the
tickets. The officials of the fair de-
clared this morning that neither
money nor usable tickets was stolen
and that the report to the effect the
business Office at the grounds had
been robbed was untrue. At first it
was reported the main Office safe
