THE PRoFITEERs' TARIFF

Here are the latest utterances of
leading Republican and Independent
papers on the Fordney- McCumber
tariff bill:
New York Herald, Republican,
is about a year since congress pass
ed the emergency tariff act to pro.
tect the American farmer from be-
ing undersold in his own home mar
ket by food of agricultural pro-
ducts from across the northern Dor
der. The results are roughly cover
ed in the trade between the Domin-
ion and the United States for the
twelve months to April / last. They
show that while the emergency tariff
has been in effect we have lost near
ly $100,000,000 more in sales to Can.
ada than Canada has lost in sales to
us. And to that the existing emer-
gency tariff is a gentle tap compared
with the blow the Fordney and Nc
Cumber schedules could give to our
whole foreign trade.

For the policy TO which IT is sought

In turning the fortunes Of the party
over to Fordney, and men of his
school. Probably not In the history
of the country has there been a

COAL STATES Get

Telegram Sent to Hoover t
=. Prevent Threatened Rise
. I. in Prices.

) Governors Of seven coal-producing
states have been petitioned by the
executives of the five Northwestern
states to use every effort to bring
about settlement Of the coal strike
and thereby avert fuel famine.
That action, with joint proclama.
ton to the people Of the N. w. urg-
ing use of coal-substitutes and tele.
gram to Herbert Hoover, Secretary of
Commerce, urging strict maintenance
Of the Hoover prices, completed the
work of the governors of five North
western states held in St. Paul.
The appeal sent out by the five gov.
errors to the seven coal-producing
states follows: >.
"The states of Minnesota, :, North
Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and
Wisconsin are suffering severely
from the fuel famine which per-.
vades the country. We earnestly So
licit your good offices towards the set
Element of the strike and the opera
rtion of the mines in your state which
! have supplied our people with coal in
the past" i
The resolution which the governors
passed and sent on to President Hard.
ing was: ~ a.,
Whereas, there exists an acute
scarcity of coal due to labor disputes,
which have suspended the working of
many mines and interrupted the func-
tions of the railroads; and, a=.a.
Y Whereas, this famine in fuel
threatens the health and happiness Of
our people and imperils the prosper
ity of business; : 8=
Therefore, be it resolved, that we,
the governors Of Minnesota, North
Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and
Iowa do hereby assure the President
of the United States that if from the
information at hand he believes it is
wise to take over coal loading carriers
as defined in Service Order No. %,
or If he believes it is necessary to
take over the coal mines in order that
the necessities Of the life of the
people during the period of the pres
ent emergency may be provided for,
such action will have the hearty APP
prevail Of the executives of these five
states, and we believe of the people
whom we represent" T..

The Traffic in Babies
BY FREDERIC ]. HAsKIN

NEW YORK CITY, May 20.-Chil-
| dren used to be sold into slavery
! Until recently the Chinese were ac-
customed to preventing an over-abund-
ance of females by abandoning a GER
tain proportion of girl babies. Amer
, lean women always SILVER daintily
over these foreign eccentricities. yet
/ in this country today thousands of
children are being disposed of as
! though they were puppies or kittens.
! A six-months' investigation, recent
ly made by the New York State Char
tiles Aid association, revealed the ap-
palling fact that, in addition to the
large number of infants annually
abandoned in New York City, a baby
day is given away through adver-
tisements in the daily newspapers.
Several specially significant facts
emerge as a result of this investiga-
tion," says the Associations report
First, it is clear that large numbers
of unmarried mothers are surrender
ing their babies to strangers about
whose morals, personality, financial
standing and standards of living they
know nothing Second, that married
couples are surrendering legitimate
children without adequate reason and
in the same haphazard method. Third
that children of unknown history and
family traits, who are possibly feeble
minded, psychopathic or tainted with
hereditary disease. are being foisted
upon ignorant but in many cases well
meaning foster parents. Fourth, tina,
such indiscriminate giving away OF
children not only works great hard
ships upon individual children and in
dividual foster parents, but also has
the effect of discrediting conscien
tious and intelligent home finding
done by competent child-placing agen
cies. In all fairness to the babies and
to persons honestly seeking to adopt
children, legislation should be enacted
to end this indiscriminate exchange
of infants"
The attention of the Association
was first drawn to the matter through
the appeal made to it by desperate
young mother, who had been unable
successfully to dispose of her child
through the advertising method. The
girl-she was scarcely more than a
child herself-described her tremen
dous difficulties in attempting tc
care for the child; how eventually
she had advertised for some one to
adopt it; how it had finally been
placed-and then returned. After
that, she advertised several times, al
ways with the same result. Each
time she thought she had seen the
last of the infant, it was returned to
her, usually because it cried"
Cases Investigated
One of the Associations workers
Immediately put to work on the case
He clipped baby advertisements, fol
lowed them up and made some as
tonishing discoveries. He found that
in most cases the parents cared lit

acter of the individual willing tc
adopt their offspring. On the Other
hand, he found that the persons will

Ripping Rhymes
BY Walt Mason
THE RUINED LIFE

The pencil falters in my hand as |
proceed to tell of Abner Washington
LeGrand, who's in a padded cell. l
knew him in his younger years, when
he was blithe and gay, and joyous as
yoke of steers he caroled on his way
In paths obscure he plugged along, and
gained small reward, and life was all
a grand sweet song without a minor
chord AT last by chance he conquer
ed fame, and great was his renown,
and all the snap shot artists came
from every part of town. They snapped
him when he sat to eat his shredded
bran repast, they shot his hat, they
shot his feet and made him stand
aghast. He couldn't cough or swear or
sneeze but snapshot fans were there;
they snapped the spavins on his knees,
the sandburs in his hair. He couldn't
dodge the fatal lens, it got his every
act, and, madden than nine setting
hens, he felt his brain contract The
snapshot fiends so stirred his wrath
he tore his beard and wept; they got
him coming from the bath, they got
him when he slept. And then his mind
gave way, twas clear, his dome was
on the blink; he had to shift to second
gear when he would try to think. All,
it would make ones bosom bleed to
see him sunk so low; and still the
snapshot fiends proceed, and picture
as they go.

In dreams there are joys without

Lest on earth, like all earthly, it wanes.

ling to adopt such children exhibited
surprisingly little interest in the
child's heredity or previous environ
ment
In one case the State Charities Aid
Association was called upon by an
eccentric bachelor who wanted to
adopt a little girl The usual list of
interrogations revealed the fact that
he had no settled establishment and
no prospect of ever having one, that
he was unmarried and that he lived
in almost complete isolation, without
communication with relatives or
friends. These circumstances, togeth-
er with the mans peculiar personal
ity, led the Association to refuse his
application. Some time later, he call
ed again, triumphantly displaying the
photograph of little girl he had Sc
cured for adoption through an adyer-
tisement. Two years later the papers
announced that the child had been
taken from him on the ground of i'm
proper guardianship.
! In another instance, a little white
boy was found living in the home of a
colored couple, who had secured him
| through an advertisement They had
| given him the best of care and were
] devoted to him, but the city authori-
| ties interviewed, believing that the
child would be better off in the hands
of foster parents of his own race.
| The Associations report goes on to
say that the mother of a baby who is
not wanted needs help-not help to
get rid of the baby quickly and easily,
but help in working out plan which
will preserve or establish so far as
| possible the self-respect of everyone
concerned. The mother needs to be
| protected against herself She may
think that by giving away her baby
she can put him out of her life, that
she can forget that she had ever been
a mother, but this is not true.
Presumably what has been going
on in New York has been going on all
over the country, and the children
who are placed through newspaper
advertisements are only small part
of those who without any legal pro-
cedure are passed along from one in
dividual to another, on and on without
any attempt to protect the interest
of the child or the foster family, or
| to keep any record of the child's
identity.
This evil has flourished especially
4, during the past few years since the
/ demand for children for adoption has
| become so great-greater than the
! supply, in fact. As in all cases OF
scarcity there has been rise in value
| so that babies can now often be dis.
posed of at a considerable profit to
their parents
| A generation ago a woman was
| looked at askance who had the temer
| ity to take into her heart and home
an unknown child. Many arguments
were advanced against such a course
one favorite contention being that i;
