MIR. RO0SEVELT'S AGITATION

Theodore Roosevelt, Assistant
Secretary Of the Navy, views the
future with decided alarm. He
thinks it not unlikely that stark
horror is to be the country's por-
ton. This, together with the
Roosevelt name, helps that official
to find a conspicuous place in the
public prints
OF course Mr.. Roosevelt has in
mind the dual strike, and he appre-
hends that the country does not
vet comprehend the meaning OF d
real coal famine. such as he feels
sure impends. He tells Rochcs-
ter audience: In the sheltered,
comfort-surrounded life OF the ay-
erage person it is difficult to Wis
ualize disaster. Coal is necessary
to produce and transport the milk
that is used by the children in the
great cities. Coal is necessary 70
produce the bread eaten by the
people Coal is necessary to make
the clothes we wear on Our backs.
Without 4 doubt 4 coal famine
would mean all these highly I'M
desirable, if not tragic things. 1t
is Just as well, too, that for the
good of the order, some earnest
and discerning person like Mr..
Roosevelt should come forward
periodically with the reminder that
the country is standing on the
brink. 1t stimulates thought, and
the people should be thoughtful in
a time like this.
The situation is not a pleasant
one to contemplate. For example,
there has been revealed a degree
OF class hatred, in connection with
the perennial struggle between cap
ital and labor, which cannot en-
durc, if the Republic is to endure.
One day d much better way ont OF
these class clashes must be found.
But one wonders, nevertheless,
in considering the immediate i'll
ture, if the outlook is quite as tor
bidding as Mr.. Roosevelt thinks
it is. He is a part OF it, but MIR,
Roosevelt does not reflect what we
have supposed was the mental con-
dition of the Administration. AS
suranceS have come from the
White House from time to time
that MIR. Harding was OF course
acting advisedly and intelIigently,
that the clement OF time was con-
stantlv in the minds OF the Presl-
dents advisers. that the country
could rest assured that calculations
had been made. and that the Nd
ministration would see to 1t that
the coal was not only mined, but
that it would be moved to the Va
riouS parts OF the country we'll be-
fore the winter season Not only
so. but the Administration would
see to it that industry, now show
ing some disposition to struggle
back to normalcy, was not handi-
capped by lack OF tuel. Seizure
OF the mines and the railroads is
a proposal not lightly to be dis
posed Of. but we have been led to
believe that even this drastic step
would be taken ii necessary to
meet the demands OF the people
for food and iule.
The Roosevelt alarm can scarce
" be reconciled, therefore, with
the theory that President Harding
has been performing a manifest
duty by the people. 1t is Mr..
Harding who should be talking
like MIR. Roosevelt, if Mr.. Roose-
welt is right.

from his several newspapers con-
demning the proposed measure.
The book is entitled THE Tariff

there is really no sense OF reason

A dispatch from Berlin says

Germany to prohibition. Business

they would be done with John Bar

Either the law needs mending or
the prohibitaion officers are lax in

only trouble about procuring hq-

that the price is very high and the

TARIFF IN THE SENATE

For some weeks a strenuous tar
if debate has been going on daily
in the Senate. A week or so on
wool; another on sugar; and ON
Wednesday a hard-fought battle
on hides. The Democrats are on
the alert each day, and the kop;;b-
lican proponents of legalized rob
berry are kept on the jump from the
opening prayer till adjournment.
Pat Harrison is having the time OF
his young life, drawing tears from
Smoot and maledictions from
Lodge. Some of the wool-baronS,
new to public life and the amen,-
ties of debate, are weeping and
wailing and offering to resign If
they can be proven guilty OF aught
but the loftieSt motives OF patriotic
duty in asking for a tariff that
will add enormously to their al
ready Overlooking Golfers. The
Democrats have by all odds the
best of the debate. Walsh, OF
Massachusetts, in his speech on the
hide tariff, calls the Republican
proposal to levy a tariff to protect
the boot and shoe industry, pure
fake and camouflage. As for the
duty ON hides he declares it will
cripple the tanning industry. He
SAYS there are TWO groups OF tan
ners in this country, the packer
tanners and the independent tan
ners. He claims that the packer
tanners, that is, the big packers
such as Armour and Swift, take
off sixty per cent of the hides pro-
duced in America; and in addition
have their subsidiary agencies all
over the country to buy the hides
taken off locally. lie says, furth-
er, that the packers tan 50per cent
OF the heavy leather OF the coun-
try and from 20 to 50 per cent
OF the lighter leather used for up
perS.
