NEW ORLEANS. June 1.-THE
flapper has dashed In again whore

the purview OF humorl And has
started regular riou
One-half the riot was caused by
the rush to get the latest number Of
"Cnfe Bruio." the comic monthly put
out by students OF Tulane university:
the other hnif was caused by frantic
efforts OF college and public school
officials. preachers and PARENTS TO
keep Cafe Bruio' out OF the young
peoples hands.
Most OF the flapper fun in Cafe
Brulo''--which gets its name from
drink famous In New Orleans be-
fore prohibition--was contributed by
girl students Of Newcomb college.
But the faculty OF Newcomb has
barred the publication from the col
lege campus. The faculty OF tife
largest girls high school in New Or.

''Icvil TO him who evil thinks" Is

Every cardinal principle of scientific, or
even intelligent, tariff making has been
abandoned in the construction of this BILL
American-made goods, such as Shoes
saws, cotton goods, steel products and
host of others which, under the operation
of moderate tariff, have come to domin-
ate not only our domestic markets, but the
markets of the world, have been solemnly
declared to be in danger from "cheap for
eign labor" and have accordingly been
lifted bodily and placed on high protec-
tive wall-higher and diier than anything
hitherto dreamed of.
The whole bill constitutes . blank en-
sbargo against the rest of the world on the
part Of the greatest credit nation on earth.
The whole principle is economically un-
sound and utterly indefensible.
The bill is so bad that on important
schedules it has been openly repudiated by
such republicans as Capper, Of Kansas;
Norris, of Nebraska; Ladd, of North
Dakota; La Toilette and Lenroot, of Wis
consin; Jones, of Washington; Kellogg, Of
Minnesota, and occasionally by even such
men as Poindexter, OF Washington, and
Townsend and Hiram Johnson.
This bill will hit the pockets of every
consumer in America. But it will hit the
poor man hardest because he is least able
to bear it. II will rob, for instance, the
average Seattle citizen of hard-earned dol
lars to pour them into the pockets of a
handful of rich who deserve it not at all.
