The Tariff Bill.

Senator McCUMBER, chairman of
the Finance Committee in charge OF
the nending tariff bill in the Senate,
calls to the attention of his colleagues
the fact that it took thirteen days
to act on two of the committees
amendments to the House measure.
There are more than 1000 Of these
amendments to be adopted, rejected,
reamended or otherwise acted on be-
fore the tariff measure can get even
as far as the joint conference COM
mittee cot the two Houses. 1t is,
therefore, the conclusion of mathe-
matical expert, according to Senator
McCUMBER, that at the rate of prog
ress so far made with the amend
ments the tariff bill will be passed
on September 20, 1916.
Well, the American public may
think that a quarter of a century
from now will be soon enough to pass
the new tariff measure if it cannot
in the meantime be ridded of it's
economically Objectionable and politi-
cally dangerous provisions.
The people demand that their taxes
shall come down, their cost of living
shall come down and the barriers
against selling their goods abroad
shall come down. If the only kind
of tariff measure they can get from
the present Congress is one that will
jack up their. cost of living still
higher when it already is too high
and make it all the harder to export
their surplus products when ii al
ready is hard enough to export them.
then the American people do not
want any statesman to rush himself
out of breath over the passage of
this tariff They will be content to
wait till the cows come home for
a Congress that has sense enough to
know costs must be reduced, not in
Hated, and that has ability enough to
frame the kind OF tariff that is neces
sary to the welfare of the country
This does not mean the American
people want the United States to be
a free trade country. 1t does not
mean the American people would
). throw the floodgates wide open for
.he pauper labor products of Europe
and Asia to come down upon our
markets in tidal waves and wipe out
our own industries.
1t does mean the taxpayers and
bill payers of America demand a ra-
tional tariff that will be reasonably
protective. not insufferably burden.
some If they get anything else from
this Congress they are going on the
hunt for different men to put in the
next Congress.

Field Marshal French in America.

Field Marshal FRENCH, who held
the destiny Of the British armies in
his hands in the early years of the
world war. has come to America as
private citizen. New York extends
70 this distinguished soldier cordial
and sincere welcome.
Earl FRENCH was in America ten
years ago, and was called home by
the warfare in the Balkans. Since
then as commander OF the British
Expeditionary Forces in the trying
days Of 1914 and 1915 he has won
renown in the battlefelds OF Flanders
and northeastern France. He was
put to the severe tests of courage
and resourcefulness which fell to all
the army chiefs OF the war and he
was rewarded by his country with
high and honorable marks Of ap-
probation Of his services.
He comes. he says, with no mission
Of any sort to perform. Heeis

Norwich, a Speed Marvel.

The three-year-old Norwich demon
strated that the limit of speed for
race horses at the running gait has
not yet been reached when he ran the
first three furlongs of six furlong
public trial in 33 seconds and a half
mile in A 4-5 seconds at the Jamaica
track between the races on Wednes-
day last. The time recorded by some
trainers did not make the trial as
fast as the figures given, but THOMAS
WELSH, who held the watch which
recorded them, is one of the best of
the American timers. and they may
therefore be accepted as correct.
When Norwich was two-year.old
he gave several displays OF his fleet
ness of foot, but nothing that com
pared with the time he made on
Wednesday in the exercising work
out which was arranged by the colts
owner. BENJAMIN BLOCK, to give the
New York racing public a glimpse OF
him before he was sent to Kentucky
to take part in the Derby.
III Norwich had made his time over
a straight course it would have been
remarkable, but around regulation
mile track 1t amazed veterans of the
turf The best record for three fur
longs on the books is the 33h sec

Butte, Montana. some years ago,

the almost straight Eclipse course at

The Winds Of May.

When the warm green winds Of May
Wandered by my door to-day
They brought mystic message from
the fields of Far Away;
And the citys CRIME and gloom
That surrounds me like tomb.
All faded into nothing, for l sensed the
faint perfume
or white lilacs after rain
Bluu.lG down some ancient lane,
And the subtle fragrance stirred me ike
a half forgotten pain.
Then the mantle of the years
Fashioned out of flowers and tears
Fell away as falls the darkness when
the hour of sunrise nears.
BY simplicity beguiled
Where the river dipped and smiled
walked a while with Memory, ana
was again a child.
All because the winds OF May
wandered by my door to-day
And brought mystic message from the
fields of Far Away.

A Law That Is Laughed At.

New York is treated once more to
the comic side of the school attend
ance law. A little more than year
ago the town laughed heartily when
young married woman was taken to
court because she refused to attend
the continuation school. This time
the farce is even more amusing.
LEWIS DE FRANCESCA was hailed to
court because he ignored the law
which compels school attendance for
at least some hours each week by
persons under Is years who have not
reached certain academic heights.
The young man could only plead that
he was married last November and
that he believed that a husbands
place when not at work was in
the home rather than in the school.
Magistrate HARRIS very properly dis
missed the charge against DE
FRANCESCA. although no evidence
was offered to show that the prisoner
had not violated the letter of the law.
This continuation school law is not
one of those absurd archaic things
which legislators have neglected to
expunge 1t is one of the silly new
things, at least in the extension Of
the age of those who must go to con-
tinuation school, 1t is one of the
products of the constantly rising de-
sire on the part Of the professional
busybodies to regulate the lives OF
individuals. OF course everybody be-
lieves In compulsory school attend
ance for children; otherwise the very
young who are cursed with the wrong
kind Of parents or guardians might
not get a fair start in life. But up
to what age is the State to regard
the individual as a child to be taken
by the hand and led willy-nilly to the
classroom?
BY the time child is 16 years old,
unless 1t is moron or worse, it has
learned to read and write and has
at least a working knowledge Of
mathematics, history and geography.
After that its mental culture depends
almost entirely upon the childs own
appetite for self-improvement. The
normal child of 15 or 16 who has
had the ordinary school course and
has gone to work is fit to advance
himself either by reading or by volun.
tary attendance at night school.
Some children, and particularly the
boys, do not yearn for intellectual
heights. They want to work, to earn
money. This, after the rudiments
have been learned, is a laudable OBJ
ject. Somebody in this world must
produce something useful; the busy
bodies do not.
But why should the State pursue
childhood with stick after 1t has
rounded the corner of youth? The
truant officer is now directed to haul
in persons up to the age of IS! Why
not proceed to the logical end and
compel all parents to send their off,
spring to college, no matter what the
children's inclination, no matter
what the condition of the family
purse, no matter what the measure
of intelligence?
