price manipulators. Voluminous re- ports of tariff commissions seldom get any further than the printing and filing stage. The long-suffering cou- sumer knows little or nothing of them theoretically. What the consumer wants is a fair price for necessities, it's tragicaUy sweeping spread" not an avalanche of data employed as technical explanations, excuses or apologies.
 The fundamental trouble is the Fordney-McCumber tariff itself. No amount of expert investigation will purge the situation for the consumer so long as a tariff law affords facih- ties to combines and manipulators to gouge him under one plea or another. When the principle of a law opens the way for burdens on the consumer, there is no escape until there is a statutory change. The existing tariff encourages price combinations and manipulations for the benefit of mag mates and gougers at the public ex- pense. Until that unfair discrimina- tion is removed, tariff commission in- quiries will afford no relief.

tainly the course pursued by the. bank CTS and by the farmers is the sensible course, and calls for no legislation based on a desire for political promi- hence. In five Kansas counties the farmers have stored sixty per cent. of their crop. In other counties there is a well-planned purpose of feeding tte poorer grades to livestock as the most profitable and quickest method to liquidation. The farmer is repre- sented as being continually whining over his drawbacks, when as matter of fact, the real farmer is the most courageous and cheerful of indivd- uals, taking his losses with equanimity, and planning for the next season with the utmost of optimism and confi- dence. The farmer of doleful mieu pictured by the demagogue doesn't exist except as a rare individual here and there. Let the people not take the politicians word for a situation which their own experience shows to be mis1'epresented.

EuRoPE Is ouR MARKET

Quite in contrast with the opinions 2 of those who advocate the fixing of prices for farm products is the solu- tion of the crop-surplus problem by Senator Oscar Underwood. The sena- tor from Alabama is too much of a statesman to give any weight to price fixing expedients as a cure for mar keting problems. Even granted that the prices for farm products were fixed, how could they be sold if nobody would buy thein? The farmers trouble is that he has wheat and some other commodities on his hands which mo- body wants to buy, except at very low price for speculative purposes. What the farmer needs is a market for his goods. When the demand is strong the price will be profitable.
 Senator Underwood declares that the market of the United States for grain and cotton is in Europe, and not in Asia, Africa or South America. Half of Americas cotton crop is nor mally spun in European mills, now idle or running on part time. European peoples, next to the people of the Limited States, are the cereal-consum- CTS of the world. It is true that some of the other peoples import certain amount of grain and grain products, yand that their demand is growing, but the big market is Europe. Inasmuch as Europe no longer holds our securi- tics, nor the worlds gold supply, Flu rope can pay us only with goods. In sother words, our commerce must for a time at least be one of barter. The present high tariff is an insurmount- table obstacle to this barter, for Flu sropeans cannot trade under the han Edicap afforded by high duties. The remedy, or at least one remedy, is to reduce the tariff schedules to mod ierate and merely revenue-producing sbasis.
 Already European morale has been shaken to such an extent that the up- Ibuilding process will be slow one. iAll the. more reason then why it should lbegin without delay. America, in CO., toperating sensibly n the European process of rehabilitation, would be contributing directly to American prosperity and commercial expansion. For those who deprecate idealism there is an intensely practical side to our foreign opportunity that the bust ness mind cannot fail at once to grasp. We need q reversal of foreign diplo- matic policy supplemented by re- versal of foreign commercial and bus. mess policy. Time has proved that this cannot be expected from g Re- publican administration. History shows that it can be expected of a Democratic administration. What are the business, agricultural and com mercial interests of this country going to do about it?

From wOmnn's Standpoint
(New York Heraldl

(New York Herald)
 The passing of Mrs. Kate Doug las Wiggin will be mourned both here and abroad by many readers who were entertained by her wholesome tales. Early in life Mrs. Wiggin began her literary career, and her continued output through many industrious years endeared her to hundreds of thou sands of her sisters, young and old. Mrs. Wiggin never had as great success with men readers. She saw life from the woman $ standpoint. She treated all gently, because her heart was full of love. Her fame is secure with che chil- dren. As an author of books and stories for girls Mrs. Wiggi1 sue ceeded in the difficult dual task of pleasing both the girls and their mothers. Year after year the girls of America find in her writ ings thrills of pity, tenderness and joy. Mrs. Wiggin had the su- preme gift of sublimating youth full emotions, of opening young intelligences as gently as the sun opens the blossoms of flowers. That was her chief strength and 1t may keep her name on the lips of children for many generations to come,

PEOPLES FORUM
Humanity In Saved

To the Editor of The Herald:
 It is true, the human race was on the brink of destruction. But in every crisis arises a genius, and this man was Archibald Hauser- vauverboski.
 Archie came from a long line of scientific discoverers. His great grauddaddy, Abbie Percy. discovered that lye, washing pow der and mattress springs would make corn whisky. Narcotic Van Beezer, his grand uncle-in-law, found that a combination of old Ford inner tubes and alarm clocks would make silk hose.
 So. Archie threw himself into the widening breach between hu- manity and it's destruction. He arose before the world with all the majestic splendor that a to- mato can rises when 1t is hit with a broom stick. He was the man of the hour, the worlds only sal vation.
 In one glance Archie knew something was wrong. Two things were wrong; first, the human race had worn blisters on their thumbs from pressing the buttons so often. and second, the electric juice was off. Archie immediately called the Alabama Water Power Com pany, but received no satisfaction. He called Henry Ford. but Henry was busy with a round of tidde- dewinks. Wall Street answered that, Yes. we ain't got no bananas l today" But Archie didn't lose his head-it was fastened on.
 Archibald set himself to the l task. He heard his great ances- tors calling him from their jun gle home on the slopes of Ice land. One by one they passed in review before him, each pointing withered, cubeb- stained finger in his face. For the first time Archie realized his responsibility. l That winter day of 2123 with the temperature 147 2-3 in the shade and no shade, will never be for gotten. The baseball parks were closed, the street cleaners didn't work. the dogs atopped barking Everyone was waiting flor the sunrise" and Archie's expert ment.
 Archie betook himself into his laboratory. By mixing door knobs and horse-radish, he made a very i high powered oil with which he l fabricated natures wonderful machine. Everything is "hunkA- dory" now, and once more the woEJd is happy and as intoxicated as ever.

 For more than forty years Mrs. Wiggin, who since her second mardage had borne the name of Mrs. George C. Riggs, had been be- fore the public as popular American author A great com pany of girls who now have grow ing daughters, perhaps grand daughters, have been strongly in- lfluenced in their social ideals by this high minded womau's work, for many of her books were girls books. She had shared in IEe high recognition won by woman during this period and these fcrty years had been years of honor. Already the domain inhabited by the girls of which she wrote and the relations of that domain have come to seem fashioned. Will the books about girls in the com ing generation deal with another domain, one in which the femialne ambition looks beyond tho obliga- tions and accomplishments of the home and the social eield to civic responsibilities and the command of civic power?'
