REPUBLICAN, PAPERS
CONDEMN TARIFF BILL

Here are some additional editorial
opinions on the Fordney-McCumbe
tariff bill from leading Republican
newspapers:
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat, the
leading Republican organ of the
southwest, says: 1.-THE bill seems to
have applied the principle of protec-
ton to everything, without regard to
present world conditions and without
regard to our altered position in rela-
ton to the worlds trade. If our tariff
does not permit fair competition with
other countries how are we to main
tain the world trade that is now so
essential to our prosperity"
The Boston Transcript, the grand
mother of the New England Republi-
can press, expresses the opinion that
party guidance is thrown to the
winds with respect to the tariff and
says this is undoubtedly due to the
prevalent chaotic conditions of in
terest and of views. It then adds:
There may be some consolation in
the fact that it will take a long time
to straighten out this chaos of views
and that the delay will give an op-
portunity to get rid of some of the
injustices involved in the senate bill.
But in the meantime, the manufac-
turers of the country are carrying
all or most of the expenses involved
by the war without the market which
the war created and are consequent
ly pretty nearly paralyzed. In this
situation they are to some extent
prepared to regard strikes as bless
ing and are content to let the tariff
repose at the switch"
Syracuse, N. Y, Post Standard, Re
publican, says: THE senate must
give ear to the changed conditions
of world trade due to our change
from a debtor to a creditor nation.
II must give ear also to demand
that the rates ON foodstuffs shall not
be the highest ever levied"
The Ohio State Journal. soundly
Republican. but with sense of hu.
NOR constantly stimulated and
aroused by this administration. says;
Economic conditions in the world
have changed so much since the war
that the tariff problem is vastly al
tered We are the creditor nation
now and the only way in which our
debtors can pay is in their products.
Our agricultural and manufacturing
interests need, as never before, a
wide. free foreign market. No one
apparently, except the hard-shelled
old high protectionists, who is wrong
about IL. has a clear idea OF just what
ought to be done. This is one of the
cases where II is better to do moth
ing than TO do the wrong thing"

HARDING BACKS UP FALL
ON NAVY OIL SCANDAL

President Harding himself has as
sumed responsibility for the naval oil
leases, according to the Washington
Herald, and has elected to stand by
Secretary Fall just as President Taft
first stood by Secretary Ballinger in
his controversy with Clifford Pinchot
over national conservation.
In the meantime, the unanimous
adoption of the LaFollette resolution
for an investigation, following the
original exposure by Senator Kend-
rick. Democrat, Wyoming, of the Sc
cret deal by which these naval oil re-
serves were turned over to private
interests controlled by subsidiaries
of the Standard OIL Company, prom
ises that a genuine investigation will
be made of the oil scandal, and may
extend to the designs of private inter
ests upon the forests, coal and other
mineral lands of the government.
The mastery speeches of Senators
LaFollette and Kendrick upon this.
subject, and the mass of facts they
have already presented, completely
refute the reasons given by the ad-
ministration for making these leases.
The press of the country is becoming
aroused over this grab of the public
domain, involving as it does an on
slaught upon the entire conservation
policy originated by President Roose-
welt and upheld in part by President
Taft and in whole by President Will
son.
There is no question but that the
people of this country are devoted
to the policy of the conservation of
natural resources, and that when they
know the facts of this oil scandal
that they will rally to the defense of
that policy and visit their condemna-
ton upon those who would destroy it,
Among the interesting facts in this
connection is that all of our modern
war vessels are oil burners, and IS
per cent of our great merchant feet
are the same. The destruction of the
last of our naval oil reserves is,
therefore, dangerous both to our
commerce and our national defense.

Lar LAskER PINCH HImsrLr

LET LAskER PINCH HIMSELF
The breath of vision Of the Ameri.
can farmer as reflected through the
American Farm Bureau. in connec-
ton with the development Of an
American merchant marine. is very
strangely at variance with that Of
Chairman Lasker, Of the shipping
board, who has exhibited interest in
the agricultural section Of the coun-
try more in words than in action.
Mr.. ]. B. Howard, president of the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
has written to the shipping board,
approving government subsidy for
ships until our flag can be establish
ed on the high seas. recognizing that
the development of our foreign trade
depends largely on our ability to
distribute American products in
American bottoms. What a striking
contrast to the picayune policy of
the chairman of the shipping board
-one of Americans leading advertis-
ing men, who scorned every means
of contact between the government
and the sixty-odd millions OF the peo-
pie in country America.
Lasker is on record as admitting
that the American merchant marine
never can be success unless II is
backed by the whole-hearted interest
of the people in rural America. When
he took hold of the shipping reins
there was in hand-in fact, there had
already started-a splendidly conceiv-
ed plan of educational advertising
aimed at teaching the American res
ident in interior towns and villages
how closely their prosperity is relat-
ed to the water railroads that must
carry American goods to distant
markets. This, however, did not
please the worshipper of the Satur-
day Evening Post. With a stroke of
the pen, asker swept the whole coun-
try America ascide and began to
pour American money into the col
umns of number of the national
weeklies and the influential cities. |
The poor little country publisher
might go to the devil, and his read.
err, if he wanted facts relative to
American shipping, must get them
from some source other than his own
home town paper.
Lasker's move was announced as
a suspension and not a cancellation !
of the plan, but experience shows
this was but sop to still the tongues
of the men who, had they cared to
do so, might have made matters
mighty uncomfortable for the adyer-
Using shipping expert.
The people in country America still
want to know what an American
merchant marine will mean to them,
because, when it come to the spend
ing of vast sums of money for ship
subsidy they propose to have voice
in the votes of their representatives.
Mr.. asker may conduct his advertis-
ing business with a cdar-like hand,
but when it comes to spending iml-
lions of the public money, then he
will find thatcountry America has
something to say. The despised lit
tie country publishers represent the
interest of their readers who form
majority of the American population,
and they propose to keep a sharp |
eye on Mr.. asker's gymnastic exer-
cises.

Chicago, Aug. Is (By Associated Press. )--Ruins of an ancient city of great size, hitherto unknown, have been uncovered In Colombia by the South American archaeological expe- dition of the Field Museum of natural history. Chicago, working under the leadership of Dr. J. A. Mason, The ruins of the city, or unknown village. or collection of villages, are in the province of Magdalena, 40 miles from Caribbean coast, and 20 miles south of Santa Marta, a portion of Colombia, now uninhabited and almost unknown to science It is evident. the museum announced today. that this was once one of the great centers of population of the world, but today even its name is unknown.
 MT. Mason sent the following mes sage regarding the discoveries:

 The principal place where I have been working has staircase of 4s steps, all made of nicely cut quadran- gular stone slabs. Instead of the In- dian road of which 1 have heard, there are thousands of them all through the mountains. There are apparently wide roads connecting the main sites. All are paved with flat water-worn rocks of more or less uni form size, the small paths being a single line of such stones, while the most important roads are four feet or more wide. and edged with upright stones.

WIFE, NOT ROBBERS,
 MURDERED HUSBAND
This Is Claim of Police Who Seek Mrs. Giberson's Alleged Par amour.

Lakehurst, N. J.. Aug. 15.-County oficials today asked New York police to help them locate man who 1t is said had written more than 100 love letters to Mrs. William Giberson, who 1s under arrest here charged with the murder of her husband, a retired lumber dealer. Giberson was found dead.-shot through his head, after his wife had called for help early yes terday saying robbers had killed him.

Half a dozen detectives searched for him till last night without result. According to the officials. Mrs. Giberson had been meeting the man for months.
 Fred H. Jaine, Jr county prosecu- tor who ordered the arrest said that his action followed a search of the premises by detectives. He said Mrs. Giberson made several trips to an outbuilding back of the house and that search there brought revolver to light and Mir. Jaine asserted 1t was the gun with which Giberson was killed.

Hartford, Aug. NJ Thomas W.

 Whatever the state does he de- clared, 1t will be rather 10 lessen the retail price of coal than to raise it. If 1t Is found necessary to fix cer- tain additional charge on coal to GOV. CT the cost of transportation from tidewater where the government leave it, it will certainly not be larger than the same amount which is added by wholesalers in normal times to cover the same expenses. If the state, by taking over fuel distribution elimin- ates the middle man. 1t will naturally be compelled to expend the same amount as the middle man in getting It's coal supply. The commission ex- poets within the next day or so to be able to announce the appointment of several men who will take charge of the office work here and thus consti ute nucleus for a statewide oreani- zation of administrators and local dis tributors."

snessa Proposes Innova- 1 tion Tried Out Success
 fully Throughout New
 York State.

Mayor Angelo M. Paonessa ha. plans for an automobile tourists camping ground as an adjunct to the north end park. in the Stanley Quar- ter section of the city, and he will shortly lay his proposal before the board of park commissioners. The subject has been informally discussed with members of the board of direc- tcrs of the Chamber of Commerce. and the mayor reports sentiment to be in favor of carrying through the project
 The mayors pain is to have fences removed and land cleared in the sec- ton of the park fronting on Stanley street. opposite the Judson Kilbourne homestead near Floods corner. There Is running brook through this sec ton of the park which will allow of plenty of good. fresh water. and there are also many shade trees, making the spot an ideal one for tour fists to pitch their tents and spend a night
 While similar tourists camp grounds are found In great numbers in New York state and elsewhere, the idea has never been carried out to any extent in New England. Yet there are hundreds of automobile parties passing through here daily, and the mayor feels that such an in- hovation would be a popular thing. The costs of establishing the camp grounds would be slight. Those who are backing the movement feel that such an accommodation would boom New Britain, and on this account it is with favor in the Chamb Der of Commerce directorate.

Washington. Aug. 15.-Legislatior by congress to regulate distribution and prices of coal during the winter was declared today by Secretary Hoover to be necessary even though operations soon are started in the bituminous and anthracite fields.
 The suspension of work in the coal fields now in the goth week has SC lowered coal stocks, Mir Hoover said that not even immediate and reason ably full production will remove the necessity of some measure of regu- lation during the next months when the country makes its greatest drain on coal supplies.
 The federal coal distribution com mittee. the secretary pointed out. is functioning with voluntary forces and as an emergency agency and hence can not continue to direct distribu- tion indefinitely,
 Railroads were warned today by the interstate commerce commission to cease confiscating coal moving over their lines under priority orders for delivery to consignees who have been declared preferred under the federal fuel distribution plan.
 Present railroad practices in mak ing special rates to Atlantic and Gulf coast ports on coal for delivery to ships were found justified today by the commission though they result in higher charges on coal moving to local consumption in the seaboard cities than on coal moved through those cities to vessels.
