round numbers, required to meet the
American leather demand can be pro-
duced in this country. So the other
half Of our required hides must con-
tinue to come into the country, duty
or no duty, because the American
people cannot go barefoot.
Another thing everybody in the
industry knows is that under nor
NAL conditions of consumption what
ever cost is added by the McCumber
duty to the imported hides that are
half Of our required supply is going
to be added in price to the other half
Of our required hides that are pro-
duced in this country. This must be
the fact because the slaughter pen
and packing house dealing In the
domestic hides are not going to sell
their half in this market for four
cents a pound less than the foreign
hides are sold for in this market.
Indeed, II the McCumber tariff
should put up the price of foreign
hides dollar pound in this mar
ket the McCumber tariff would put
up the price Of domestic hides dol
lar pound. That is exactly why
the McCumber tariff Is made as it
is made by the chairman Of the SEN
ate Finance Committee.
Still another thing is certain about
this McCumber duty on hides. 1t Is
that measured by the number and
weight of foreign hides that come
into the country under normal con-
ditions and must continue to come in
so long as the McCumber tariff does
not drive the American people to
walk and work in their naked feet
measured by those figures, the added
burden of this duty on hides alone
cannot be figured by the most con-
servative men in the leather indus
try at less than $10O,000,000 year.
What the duty on shoes might pile
on top of that extra hide cost to the
American people of at least 100000
900 year nobody can now say. We
must wait for the staggering returns
of this monstrous duty on hides and
shoes before we can count the full

taxed beyond endurance by the IRA

whole power to boot such tariff

agreed to abide by the Treaty Of
Rapallo, which was signed on No

Slavia, In fixing the boundaries Of
Fiume and Dalmatia and in the pro-
visions for the reorganization of the
new Free State of Fiume. Italy will
Immediately evacuate the Dalmatian

The East Adriatic Coast.

The recent agreement between Italy
and Jugo-Slavia regarding the dis
puted boundaries of Fiume and Dal-
malta and the decision of the League
of Nations virtually to maintain a
protectorate over Albania mark
decided advance in the settlement Of
the troublesome controversy over the
east Adriatic coast.
Albania's position made the control
of her affairs a subject Of dispute be-
tween Italy and Jugo-Slavia. Italy
withdrew her troops from Albania
more than year ago, declaring that
she would not attempt to impose a
protectorate upon the country IL the
people objected. At the same time
she announced that the safeguarding
of her interests in the Adriatic de-
manded that no other European ma
tion should be In control there. She
thus objected seriously to the attempt,
upon her own retirement from Alba
MIA, to force the Jugo-Slavia boun-
dary westward in the Albanian noun
tains and she was strongly instru-
mental in compelling the Serbians to
withdraw their forces from the AL
banian frontier. Italy entered the
only objection to the Leagues plan
for a protectorate, but her protest
was overcome by an assurance that
her interest in Albania would be fully
safeguarded.
Ever since they won independence
from Turkish rule the Albanians
have been pleading for a government
Of their own. Europe's one attempt
to answer this appeal, by setting up
an Albanian kingdom with the Prince
OF Wied at its head, ended in 1914
in failure. Since then the people
have taken matters into their own
hands and despite two or three In
consequential uprisings they have
maintained peace and furnished pro-
lection to life and property within
their borders. This was done at COM
paratively little expense, and MEHEpI
FRAsHERI. the Albanian delegate, on
his arrival at Geneva. said that AL.
bania occupied "the unique position
among European nations of being
the only country which has no ma.
tional debt and gold currency"
The final settlement of the Fiume
question has not been achieved. prin-
cipally because of the opposition OF
the dominant political party in Croa-
tia. It has been to the advantage OF
RADITcH and other leaders OF the
agrarian or peasant party to keep
this question open in carrying out
their policy of separate Croatian
State. A few days ago they came
out with proclamation of new
Croatia. and a new President and
Cabinet. II met, though, with little

AS In many other berry producing sec
tions, there is a general increase IN the
acreage devoted to the crop in southern
Kentucky and in northern Tennessee.

was sS7 cars, severe drought having re-
duced the output considerably. This
year It is expected there will be nearly
1900 cars. II unfavorable weather or
market conditions do not operate to the
disadvantage of the growers. Tho ship
ping season last year closed early in
June. having lasted only two weeks, but
present conditions indicate that berries
may be shipped this season up to
juno 10.
About 90 per cent. OF the plants in the
southern Kentucky strawberry district
are Aromas. The first pickings this
year have been OF unusually high quail
ity and large size. The first cars loaded
showed the usual variance in color and
maturity, but the condition has been
improving. and. barring unusually wet
weather, the fruit shipped should sur

Thoughts on Liberty.
In Burlamiqufs Book Is the Seed Of
Declarations Of Independence.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: With
out assuming to add anything TO the
controversy over the Mecklenburg Dec
laration I venture the suggestion that
II some Investigator. were to search the
libraries OF the early settlers Of Neck
lenburg county, North Carolina. he
would ind copy OF Burlamiqurs NAT
ural and Politic Law" which underlies
all of the heroic literature OF the Revo-
lutionary period. and which affords all
the fundamental ideas and some OF the
very language of the Declaration Of
Independence.
Burlamiqui was born at Geneva IN
1894 and died In 1850. He says: "Now
it is evident that God. by creating US.
proposed our preservation. perfection
and happiness. God is. therefore.
willing that every one should labor for
his own preservation and perfection, In
order to acquire all the happiness Of
which he is capable. according to his
nature and state" and by happiness
we are to understand the internal satis-
faction OF the mind. arising from the
possession of good; and by good what
ever Is suitable or agreeable to, man for
his preservation, perfection. convenience
or pleasure"
Again he says: Mature has made
US all of the same species. all equal, all
free and independent of each other: in
short she was willing that those on
whom she has bestowed the same facul-
ties should have all the same rights.
This liberty and independence is,
therefore, a right naturally belonging to
man. Of which 1t would be unjust to de-
prive him against his will. It
must. therefore. be agreed, that SOW
ereignty resides originally in the peo-
pie. and in each individual. with regard
to himself; and that It is the transfer
and union of the several rights Of indi-
viduals in some person, or assemblage of
persons. which constitutes and produces
what is called sovereignty in govern
ment."
After carefully analyzing the struc-
ture Of society and government this
great author. writing at least a quarter
OF a century before the Mecklenburg
declaration or the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. declares that at Is not meant
that government may not forfeit its
right to the respect and obedience of the
people who have established It," "For,"
says he. 1T is past all doubt that when
a government becomes destructive Of the
ends for which 1t was instituted. and
uses its powers to quite contrary pur-
pose. 1t becomes an enemy to tho state.
and the sovereignty returns to the ma
tion. which has a right to form new in
stitutions. laying their foundations on
such principles. and organizing its pow
ers In such forms. as will secure their
safety and happiness for the future"
No one with the faculty of condensa-
tion and a due regard for rhetoric
could be placed in the position Of the
Colonists with this book " his hands
and fail to produce Declaration of In
dependence. 1t should be found in every
public library; should be the text book
on government in every public school
and college. for 1t analyses and justifes
every intelligent system of government.

Kramer Rolling On.
Good Example for Other Athletes Set
by the Bicycle Racer.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: occa-
sionally an athlete conspicuous in some
speciality seems to defy the influences
which usually lead to a slowing up in
the muscular systems. Clean living and
intelligent training are Invariably among
the causes which bring about such a
result.
There is no better illustration Of this
condition than the case of the noted
bicycle rider Kramer. who Is riding al
we'll to-day as at any time in his life.
Like Tennyson's brook. he bids fair to
go on forever.
Those who were his contemporaries
when he took up bicycle racing as a
profession have long since passed from
the track. He alone possesses the speed
and endurance OF his youth.
Many men in other fields Of sport
might follow Kramer's example with
profit. r.

Rewards in Industry.

One of the familiar falsehoods the
soapbox agitator likes to deliver as
truth is his accusation that the door
of opportunity no longer stands open
in America. He contends that the
capitalist system has destroyed the
chances of those who lack money and
influence. He tells his audience that
the big fortunes were made, the po-
sitions of power reached, only in the
days when this country was expand
ing so rapidly that men easily found
big gaps and filled them.
The agitator never says much
about intelligence and unremitting
labor as reasons for accomplishment.
He talks about the difficulty of get
ting to the top as he might talk
about the difficulty Of finding apples
on tree from which all the fruit
had been picked.
Many times in the year there are
announcements in the news columns
which give him the lie direct. Most
recent Of these is the report Of the
appointment to be directors Of the
Standard Oil Company Of Indiana Of
three men who started life without
favor or privilege.
ROBERT II. McELRoY, who Is traffic
manager OF the company, climbed
step by step from running errands.
THOMAS ]. THOMPSON, general man.
ager ofsthe sales department, used
pick and shovel long before he die
tated to a secretary. EDWARD ].
BULLOCK, director OF purchases, was
clerk after he had been an Office
boy. He became head of small de-
partment and went on to larger
duties.
1t would be interesting to know
how great proportion of the men
who are leaders in the automobile
business, which, with the exception
of the motion picture industry, is the
youngest big industry in America,
earned their first pay as mechanics.
HENRY FORD is not an exception
among the men in his business. Many
of them started where he did.
