The Word Imported

DETAILERS of wooden clothes, especially those
III catering to the fashionable trade, undertake
to Justify their boosts in suit prices by charging
TINT the tariff bill made increases in duty that
must be passed along to the consumer. As a mat
ter of fact that sort of wool that enters into cloth
ing was placed at 81 cents a pound in the present
law as against 40 cents a pound in the emergency
law that had been in force for sixteen months prior
to the enactment of the permanent law which now
governs.
Nevertheless, in spite of the reduced duty on i'm
ported wool, the price of wooden clothes has risen,
particularly those of the higher grades. The real
reason is to be found in the public passion for i'm
ported textiles. The word imported seems TO
have a fascination for the American buying pub
lie and. in the clothing line especially, the people
are willing to pay a premium when they are told
that the article was made in England or some
other foreign country.
The New York Daily News Record states the
case tersely when it says: "Put two pieces of the
same cloth side by side. Label one piece domestic,
the other imported. Price the imported piece a
third higher than the domestic piece. And the aver
age buyer will take the article labeled Imported. I"
Apparently distance lends enchantment, and real
values are ignored while the buyer comforts him
self with the thought that he has something that
was manufactured abroad and brought all the way
across three thousand miles OF ocean for his del
e%ctation. But ii is an empty distinction, for Amerl.
can textiles are fully up to the standards of any
other country in the world.
But wooden textiles is not the only important
product to which the glamour of foreign manu-.
facture seems TO attach. Germany has the reputa.
ton of making certain articles better than can be
produced in the United States. Dolls and other
toys, Christmas tree ornaments, picture cards and
the like have an added character in the minds Of
many if they show the German label.
Japan puts ont a wide range of articles of paper,
bits OF wood, and much paint that seem TO have an
individualism Of their own. Other countries send
their products TO our markets and are able to add
something 10 their prices merely because of the
magic word imported
Probably there is not n single article on the
list the design Of which is not duplicated by Amer
lcan factories, with better material and more ca re.
iul Workmanship. If the consumers Of this country
would look for the label "made in America" before
making their purchases they would find themselves
possessed Of better quality at less price than In
me selection OF imported goods. They would also

THE souAREsT crN
Entitled to Better Chance

THE SITUATION in the country today is, a
l. dearth of skilled workmen and a surplus of
youths who do nct know how to make an honest liv-
ing. For instance take the report of the Probation
Commission of an eastern state and it shows that
eleven thousand youths under twenty-one years of
age were sent to prison in the past five years
most of them undoubtedly boys who had never
learned how to work and sought to get money by
some illegal means. There is an organized effort
throughout the United States to keep every boy
in school until he has completed the high school,
and then to send most of them to callege for four
years and then to a professional school for four
years more, after which they are to be turned
out to seek professional jobs that pay less than
plumbing or bricklaying or carpentering. 1t is a
common criticism of salaries of teachers that they
are less than the compensation of bricklayers. The
explanation is simple-there is more demand for
in proportion to the supply, than there
is for teachers. The trouble lies largely in the
fact that too many are trained for teaching and
not enough for bricklaying, with the result that
a surplus of teachers cuts the salaries while n
scarcity of bricklayers forces high wages in that
occupation.
There should be n better regulation of appren-
ticeship in trades or a larger opportunity in trade
schools. American boys have n right to equality
of opportunity and they are not getting it under
n system that practically forces them TO prepare
for occupations that pay the smaller returns.

of the country, which would free them in the future
from any disruption of foreign production and
cessation of imports.
Let us get away from the idea that imported
is a guarantee of superiority, and cling to the
more likely truth that it is an indication of in
feriority. Let us abandon the foreign fetish and
accord our own producers the credit that they have
earned. The selfish instinct to get the most for
our money demands that we buy at home, and con
siderations of the highest patriotism point to the

Their Sense of Gratitude

"pEDS" who plotted an overthrow of the consti-
lttutional government of the Unitsd States, are
claiming all the protection the constitution affords
them in their trials in the Michigan courts. They
have always claimed and have enjoyed the protec-
ton of the government in their rights to life, lib
erty and enjoyment of property. Most men speak
well of the bridge that carries them safely over,
but not the "Red." This individual is absolutely
without a sense of gratitude. He will turn upon
his protector as a rattlesnake would plunge his
poison fangs into a hapless wanderer in the des-
ert.

Impatient to Get AT 1t

WASHINGTON correspondents are sending out
" storm signals telling how the radical elements
In national politics are going to pursue hurricane
methods in the congress that meets in December.
The sixty-eighth session is to be wild eyed with
progressive propositions, and, first of oil, reform.
ers who are impatient to begin the onslaught ON
big business, chafe because they have to wait thir.
tteen months to begin.
Elected last November they ache TO swing the
snickersnee and propose first of all to change the
date for the national house of representatives to
meet to January following election, instead of De.
cember.
Waiting thirteen months before the fiery-tem-
pered radicals can begin to whack at the George
Washington cherry tree of national prosperity.
they say is to long TO get action, and too many
hot propositions cool off.
Business takes up its slack and gets n good foot
hold, farmers put in more crops, break up new land
and ADJUST themselves to world market conditions,
without being kept excited about what congress
will do for them.
Manufacturers readjust their overhead, extend
their plants, find new markets, employ more Ia
Dor, and lay in stocks Of raw material. making
plans to enlarge credits and slough surplus prod
ucts overseas.
In the mean time the president refuses to call n
special session, believing it is better to give tho
country n chance TO get onto its feet, draw its
breath, tighten its belt and resume normal condi
tions.
What the radicals promise to undertake in the
next congress-well what won't they try?
