TOO MUCH INTERNATIONALLY
Senator Capper aptly describes tar
If opposition when he says that pro
per protection for American bushes
is being fought by "internationalists.
This type of citizen, in and out of Of
flee, is the gadfly in today's American
life The ssinternationalist" Of either
sex has small thought of home ant
country, so taken up is that indivld
ual with planning nice things for The
the people of other lands. Now, witt
our own trade-our industry and oul
commerce-in need of all aid which
sensible business fostering can give
it, the 'internationalist" opposes any
such help because the program will
not provide at the same time for the
demands of old world politicians and
peoples. Mr.. Capper, speaking the
thought of the middle west as well as
of the industrial east and south, de-
clared that "the tariff is an American
ISSUE" That is the matter in a nut
shell. Whether British workmen and
statesmen get all out of their govern
ment which they desire is not our af-
fair. What France can do toward up
building herself without paying the
bill is no concern with which we
should bother Regeneration of Ital-
ian and German and Russian trade is
outside our own jurisdiction. Our
great task, our real responsibility is
to help the United States to the era
of better prosperity which every good
interest in the nation requires the
country to reach. Wise tariff legisla-
ton will advance countrywide welfare
as can no other single endeavor Of
congress. Therefore, tariff legislation
must be pushed, despite the opposition

"a "a "a
People express surprise sometimes,
on going to some public gathering,
that the attendance is small and won
der if the people are not losing in
terest in public affairs. A little in i
vestigation will prove, on most oc-
casions, that the small crowds are
due largely to the fact that there is |
too much going on-too many counter
attractions. Not long ago the atten-
ton of The Star-Mirror was called |
to the fact that five important meet
ings were in progress in Moscow on
possible to pick out an evening when
a public gathering, no matter how
could be held without con-
flicting with one or more other public
affairs. This is a general condition,
not confined To Moscow. aud one
might wonder if the public does not
at times feel surfeited with public af-
fairs, and long for the opportunity 10
spend some time around the home
fireside, without the feeling that duty
society, or business demands that they .
be elsewhere.
Our forefathers, who had been used
o spending their evenings in the fam
ly circle, would have been dazed had
hey been thrown into such a mael-
from of public activity as that which
onfronts the average person now In
onnection with the church there are
ocial functions galore, which were
tut little heard of quarter Of a cen
