THE NEEDED TRAINING.

He never praised his country, never
spake one word of love
To the son who walked beside him of
the starry flag above,
lie never gave a reason to the young
ster at his side
For devotion 10 his nation CT her
heroes who had died.
He talked brand of honor that is
wanted in the town.
And he talked of making money and
fortunes fair renown,
But he never took his hat off when the
Starry Flag went by,
And he'd hear his nations anthem
with bored and weary sigh.
He voted--yes he voted. but he did &
with a sneer
And belittled men in office with the
ship Of state to steer;
He called them politicians, and the
look upon his face
Seemed to tell the little fellow that his
government was base.
We must teach them love OF country
we must tell the little chaps

If our nation is TO prosper and GU,

We must teach the young to love It

GOVERNOR SMITH WINS.

Former Governor al" Smith won
Democratic State Convention at SYRIA
cuse, last week, and sent the degen-
crate forces Of Hearstism flying from
the convention city IN disorganized
rout. Despite the emphatic manner in
which the Democratic voters repu-
dated Hearst at the primaries, there
was grave danger that his agents at
the convention might overthrow this
plainly expressed Democratic senu-
ment and force Hearst on the ticket
as the candidate for governor or
United States Senator, preferably the
former.
But Governor Smith met the issue.
promptly and courageously. He abb
solutely repudiated all Hearst over
lures. Hearst wanted the nominat ton
for governor, with Smith for Sena-
tor. Or he would compromise by hav-
ing Smith for governor and himself
for Senator.
Governor Smith. however, refused
TO accept nomination for a place on
the ticket with Hearst. This settled
the contest, as the Hearst manipula-
! tors, even including Leader Murphy OF
| Tammany Hall, dared not deliberately
invite overwhelming defeat by making
up a ticket with Hearst for either
Senator or governor, 10 the exclusion
of Smith.
Governor Smith will prove strong
candidate, as his record as governor
for two years was most commendable
At any rate, he has enabled the Demo
cratic party organization In New Yorl
to maintain its integrity. 1t Is nov
in fine position to appeal for the suf
frages of the good people OF tn
Empire State.

THE NEW TARIFF.


With tho accompaniment OF chips
racing TO port In order to get their
cargoes ashore before iAighcr duties
became effective and with heavy with
drawals from bonded warehouses by
owners OF goods Aeeking to take ad-
vantage OF the lower rates Of the
emergency tariff. the Fordney -McCum-
Der bill was made law by the Presi-
dents signature yesterday forenoon,
and went into effect at midnight. Presi-
dent Harding announces that the law,
because OF its provisions enabling the
Executive to, raise and lower rates. is
1.-THE greatest contributions to tariff
making In the nations history" AT
last, as the makers OF this law profess
to believe, we are to have scientific
tariff revision to meet changing con-
ditions at home and abroad. The Tar
IN Commission Is to send forth it's
agents to discover the costs OF pro
duction in foreign lands as we'll az at
home. Tho President is given broad
powers in changing duties and the
method Of valuation ne the result Of
tho discoveries Of the commission.
Here is In Theory the perfect method
OF tariff making. How is II to work In
practice?
Tariff making in the past has
periods In which American buSineas
knew exactly what the prevailing rates
OF duties on imports would be. uncer-
tainty was removed until there was n
change in the political complexion Of
the national Government. To-day no
man can say how long the rates of
duty established by tho new law will
remain in force. Tho uncertainty
| which came at intervals under the
| old system would seem to have been
| made permanent under the old
| Chaotic conditions abroad are given
| as the excuse for THE revolutionary
| departure In tariff legislation.
AS To the immediate effect Of the
law upon the cost of living. II la "a
be noted that while Representativ,
Fordney maintains that no "appre-
cia.ble" increase of retail prices IL war
ranted by the law, he nevertheless
suggests the enactment of laws i'm
| posing penalties upon profiteers. al
| though Just how such laws would b'
| framed and administered he does no
say. Perhaps in addition TO the I'm
crease i'm the number of customs OH
cials. and the greatly enlarged force
of the Tariff Commission, Mr.. FOrine,
would create a nationwide search 70
profiteers. He says he would max,
misrepresentation of the tariff incce
ment In sales prices punishable ae oh
tanning money under false pretencee
That would. Of course. make Il
simple task TO put an end to profiteer
ing without interfering with the tar
III law.
1t cannot be said that the remark
Of Mr.. fordney tend to reassure tn
country as to the effects OF the nev
tariff. But II Is the law OF the land
The duties which II establishes ar
in effect. The experiment of the flexi
bic tariff has been entered upon. Al
this has ben done at time, when, W
believe. there was no danger of ruiz
to American industry by that food o
foreign goods so tearfully describes
by Mr. Fordney.--Boston Transcript

MIRROR OF PUBLIC OPINION

Evcn those who wore rigid In their
military intercourse felt that II was
n mistake to mako saluting impera-
two when officers and men wore en-
Joying a few hours leave outside tho
| limits OF tho camp.
Visitors In the cities near the camps
on Saturday or Sunday never failed
to be impressed with the absurd spec-
| tacle OF a thousand doughboys idling
| up and down the main streets In search
OF recreation and forever having to
snap to attention and salute officers
who like themselves were on pleasure
bent. Men and officers alike went
through a stngc OF resentment, fol-
| lowed by self-consciousncss and cul-
| minating In boredom, and not A fcw
either stayed away from town or skunk
around back streets In order TO avoid
ncessnnt snluting.
IL was only natural that under tho
circumstances tho regulations were
| frequently disrcgarded md there grew
up schoolboy attitude toward the
whole problem. To get away" with
not salutins was almost ms great n
satisfaction for many soldiers as Il IL
for many scboolboys TO "siip something
over" on tho teacher. As result the
regulation tended TO defeat its own
purpose.

In the military scheme. Within the

anywhere, its use should be strictly
