''Why did you say that?" she
asked him in low voice, with a
driving intensity of accent, as
though more than anything else
she must have an answer from
him.
''Well, you asked me" he said
in abject misery, aware of the
hideous, flat futili+y of such an
answer. If only he were an ex-

Annapolis sends forth hearty
greeting 20 the hundred or more
newspaper editors who will be
the guests of Governor Richie at
the Executive Mansion today. In
inviting the newspapermcn to be
his guests, SO that he may have
the opportunity OF discussing
with them in person the various
governmental problems, Mary

ing out a policy he inaugurated
at the beginning of his term of
Office.
The visiting scribes. represent

the real sentiment Of their respec-
tive communities, and any sug-
gestions or criticisms they may
have to otter as 10 State bet

given full consideration by the
Governor. The feature OF the
gathering, however, will be, of
course, the presentation by the
Governor of the States admins
trative problems and his own
plans for solving them. As
a matter of fact the policy of
holding such conferences as
this might well be emulated by
other executives, because. after
all, newspaper editors and gov
ernment chiefs are. il is fair to
assume, all working to the same
end-promotion OF the public
welfare.

HOW TARIFF MEASURES UP

The few months experience
with the Fordney tariff permits
a counting of its cost. Experts
estimate that the annual burden
imposed ON American consumers
will reach the stupendous total of
three billion dollars.
The consumers will pay the
whole bill, The price-raising pro-
cess whereby the benefited inter
ests collect the tariff from the
cosumers is in full swing.
On list of 81 drugs, prices al
ready have been raised on So; of
10 chemicals on which tariff
boosts were imposed, every one
now SLOWS an increased price to
the cdusumcr. 1t would be pos
sible almost Indefinitely to detail
the BURDEN of higher prices which
the tariff has imposed.
Years ago, the cry for tariff
was for the protection of Infant
industries" The infants have
long since grown up. but it
seems that they need greater pro-
lection in age than in youth.
Somewhat weakly, the argument
is now advanced that a high tar
1T is necessary to protect Amer
lean wage standards. But scrut-
my of the division OF the con
sumer's dollar in the purchase OF
any highly protected commodity
shows the fallacy OF this conten-
ton.
The wage per dollar of prod
uct in woolens is less than Is
cents ; the Fordney tariff on each
dollar imported is 60 cents. The,
cost of labor in each dollars
worth Of cutlery is 80 cents. vet
the manufacturer gets a duty OF
$1.S2, more than four times the
earnings of the worker. The la
Dor in paints and varnishes is Z
cents on the dollar of product.
but the manufacturer is allowed
20 cents duty to protect the
wage standard of his EMPLOYEES.
Such impositions upon the
consumers. class which In
cludes everybody, merely to line
the pockets of certain favored in
terests. can not definitely be per-
mitted by the American people.
