It Costs to Ignore Truth

vURTFUL reactions of the Fordney-
Fl ~ecumoer tariff are continually COM
ing to light A recent incident in our
trade relations with certain Latin-American
countries serves to show anew how so-caled
protection" may defeat its own ends and
njure those whom it is assumed to help.
Some of our neighbors to the south were
charged with discriminating against United
upon it was urged by believers in the tariff
as panacea for commercial ills that we raise
the import duties on goods from those coun-
tries, under the provisions Of the Fordney'
McCumber law. But investigation revealed
that this method of getting even" would be
more costly to us than to those against whom
it would be ostensbly directed; for a large
part of the imports in question are products
of concerns which, though located in Latin
America, are owned and directed by citizens
of the United States. The world of business
has grown far too complex for Republican
tariff theories just as international relations
have left that partys foreign policy tagging
in absurd provincialism.
The South American Gaze prompts the New.
York Journal of Commerce to this interesting
observation: american citizens are con-
stantly being urged to invest in foreign secu-
rites or foreign property in order that
basis be laid for further expansion of our ex-
port trade and in order that it be possible for
our debtors to meet interest and other
charges upon funds they owe US. But how
can we expect that any such advice will be
accepted if we are determined to make it i'm
possible for such investors to bring home the
fruit of their labors abroad? 1t is of no
great consequence whether enterprises such
as those in question be of the sort whose
prosperity is dependent upon direct ship
ments of goods to this country for sale or
whether they depend exclusively upon mar
kets in foreign countries. In the one case
the prosperity of the enterprise is injured by
our tariff laws. In either case the under
taking is not likely to interest investors in
this country if these holders of surplus funds
are assured that they can bring home neither
the earnings of their investments nor the
principal itself in case they need it here"
A tariff system that ignores the interna-
tional interests of business to the extent that
the Fordney-McCumbe law ignores them is
certain to do harm at home, regardless Of
what it's other effects may be. Chief among
it's other effects is to burden the country's
consuming rank and file with a tax Of hun
dreds of millions of dollars for the benefit of
special interests, which not infrequently are
arrant profiteers. Such is the tariff to which
the Republican party, through its recent ma
tional convention, is committed.

CHAPTER XIV
Playing the Game

~ OLE TEMPLETONS marriage to Gloria
X King swept ever the country in giant
waves of excitement. The papers were
full of it, the news dwarfed other items to
half and quartss columns. Gloria thought
she would nev,4) again open newspaper
without that little feeling of nausea that she
experienced whenever she saw her name
coupled with Templeton's.
"Worlds greatest film idol marries lead
ing woman"
rolf Templeton, perhaps the most popu-
lar star of the silver sheet, takes as his wife
Gloria King, member of his company"
For days the papers headings like
this and all through the film colony the
marriage was commented upon from differ
ent angles.
who is she?" twittered Catherine Charm
ing. to some one who had put the question
to her. why, my dear, she was never
heard Of till Rolf took her up. She played
the lead in his latest picture. Heaven knows
why he married her, don't"
'She won't hold him long commented
Vera Vamp mot much style, and Rolf
likes class He was probably bored and
wanted new thrill. You take my word for
t. that's how it happened"
In Rolf Templeton's white stucco palace,
Gloria held her head high and played the
game. No one dreamed that fierce hatred
had taken the place of the contempt she had
always felt for this man, and of I'll the many
=
his Iovemaking the most difficult of all. He
would snatch her hungrly into his arms,
never speaking a word, and always she was
entirely passive. She like a lay figure
in his embrace; her lips, beneath his were
co1dlv unresponsive. She felt that to strug
gle or protest would rob her of dignity. He
would only delight the more in showing her
his mastery while. if she remained rigid and
cold the storm Of his passion would sweep
over her as though she were incapable of
feeling.
Gloria realized that her cold hatred Of
Templeton acted as a goad to his passion for
her. He delighted in tormenting her. 1t
seemed to Gloria that the house was always
filled with guests of his choosing to whom
she was obliged to play hostess, and before
the first big party that he gave he forced
her o go shopping with him
In the stores he bought lavishlv. Gloria
felt like a slave being decked out for the
edficatiOn of her master, but she played the
game The saleswomen were frankly Curl
Gus and whispered among themselves.
Gold as ice" said one. Maybe he likes
that type. you can't tell. It's probably no
treat to him to make love to his wife after
going through love scenes every day in the
movies. Gee. I wish I had her chance. You
can bet I'd show some pep over the clothes
he picked out for me-"

MY FAVORITE STORIES
By Irwin s. Cobb

1t seems to me that in the wide range OF
themes treated from time to time in these
columns, we have rather sighted the sub
ject of oceans Why not a few grouped
stories, then about oceans?
Here is number one which has the merit
of being true:
Years ago, when Sam Blythe lived in Wash
ington he had a cook named Lizzie Lizzie,
who was colored, hailed fl ON the mountains
of Virginia. With skillet she was poetess
inspired, but hers was a one-slded genius.
For the beauties of nature she seemed not
to care at all
For the summer Blythe took a cottage at
Atlantic City. The cottage stood close to
the beach. Sam moved in by night. Next
morning, as he stood on the veranda, with
nothing between him and the coast of Spain
except sky and water, he heard a rattle OF
bi~-.--last l,-- - the A.,~hen and bethought
him that Lizzie had never looked upon the
marvels of the sea-
ooh, Lizzie" he called, "come out here on
the porch a minute"
"Lizzie." said Blythe, with wave of his
arm to the eastward there's the Atlantic
ocean,
Lizzie gave brief look.
"Suttiny is flat" she said, and returned
to her domain
Then there is the yarn Of the young wom-
an from the middle west who paid her first
visit to friends residing at Santa Barbara.
She also arrived in the evening. On the fol-
lowing morning as she stood at her window,
she saw, framed in by trees, bit Of placid
blue surface glinting in the California sun
shine. She spoke to her hostess through the
open door into the adjoining bedchamber.
ooh, Helen" she asked, what is that little
scrap of water I can see off here in the front
of the house?"
That's the Pacific ocean," said the resi-
dent lady.
"Is it?' Her tone betokened dsappoint-
ment. "Well, / always thought it was much
larger than that
To my way of thinking, though, number
three is the gem of the collection.
The thing happened four years ago, during
the holding of the Democratic national con-
vention in San Francisco. In a lull in the
proceedings an eastern delegate, rather
pompous and self-sufficient person. took a
stroll in the general direction of where he
assumed the shore line to be. He walked
considerable distance without finding it.
A ragged youngster trudged past him.
Say, my lad" said the visitor patroniz-
ingly, how far is it to the ocean,"
The youngster eyed him calmly: ~
(Which ocean," he asked So

An American View of the British
By DR.. Frank Crane

The English supposed to be incapable
of humor, and no funnier comic operas have
ever been written than those of Gilbert and
Sullivan.
They are the most home-loying people on
Iishman.
The lower classes are truculent, stubborn
for their rights, even contentious; yet are
more orderly than the same class in France
and America.
In no country is individuaism more in
grained; in no country is privilege more
rock-rooted.
The Englishman has been called a Phari-
see Haunting his morals and Extensively
boasting of his religion (this is common
criticism in France), but the individual Eng
lishman invariably conceals his religious
emotion and deprecates his own morals; and
while the Latin races pray openly and any
where, the Britisher would almost soon
be caught stealing apples saying his pray
erS.
Englishmen have been dubbed nation
of shopkeepers; shopkeepng is the very
thing in which they are deficient; they make
excellent goods, but don't know how to sell
them, compared with Americans or Germans
The English love outsid life, yet [ have
been unable to find one spot in London
where there is an outdoor cafe after the
manner of the continent.
The Britisher is perhaps the most proytn-
cial of men apparently; yet it is England
that has the greatest genius for coloniZlng
and understands best how to manage foreign
peoples.
English law Is more loaded with prece-
dent than that of any other country; yet in
no nation can justice be obtained more
quickly and generally.
love English people, but am blest II
know why. Perhaps it is because they are
such an insoluble enigma.
An American, I of English blood and
ideals No nation seems so near to me; yet
no nation seems foreign.

Georgia S County Farm Agents

+ the history of Georgia progress is ever
written in full, one of its longest and
most enlightening chapters will have to
do with the work of the county farm demon
stration agents. Those tireless evangels
who carry the treasures of agricultural sci
ence and home economics directly to the
folk on the SOIL accomplished during the
year 1923 alone enough to make their serv-
Ices ever memorable They established ac-
cording to the official report of State Agent
Oliver, twentyone thousand, two hundred
and ninety-four demonstration centers; con-
Quoted five thousand, three hundred and
twenty-five meetings, which drew a total at
tendance of approximately one hundred and
seventy-one thousand people; and, through
the interest thus aroused and the ideas thus
conveyed, started activities that resulted in
Increased production, in multiplied profits,
and in larger opportunities for full many a
countryside.
In the farm and-home improvement work.
We note, 1855 farms were influenced to
change soil management practice, 7,119
farmers followed advice in use of CONNER
cial fertilizers, 1901 farmers mixed home
fertilizers according to advice, 33,151 tons
OF fertilizer so mixed, 1922 farms induced
TO take better care Of manure, 2,5S3 farms
powed under green manure; 665 farmers
assisted in terracing land, "A dwellings built
or remodeled according to plans furnished.
S3 home water systems installed. 1O2 home
lighting systems installed, 1,O57 used build
Ing plans furnished"
uomics, "717 farm account-record dem
onstrations We're held, 29S farmers changed
1872 farmers assisted in farm leases,
2,591 assisted in securing labor-savng de-
vices, 3,006 assisted in making better use of
labor, IS farm loan associations assisted in
organization, 47S members in such associa-
tons, farmers assisted to sell approximately
$S,O77,S57 in farm products, $4SS,7O6 saved
by cooperative marketing, $7S4,S19 worth
or crops purchased comparatively, $117.92S
saved to farmers by purchasing co-opera-
lively"
To these labors add well-nigh innumer-
able list of miscellaneous activities in the in
terest of better crops and better homes and
it is evident that the county agent system
is one of the great upbuilders of Georgia
Nine|two counties, it appears are CO.
operating in the maintenance Of this con,
structivs service. We should not rest con
tent until there is at least one demonstration
agent in every county from the mountains
to the tides. That good day will come, We
are assured when the Legislature allows the
State complete offset for its proportion o
the Smith Lever fund. Surely, a more prac
teal appropriation could not be made.

SACRAMENTO, April THE De-
partment of Agriculture states that
the foot and mouth disease is now on
a more favorable basis according to re-
ports from Oakland, San Francisco,
and Los Angeles. No reports have been

prevent the carriage Of the disease to
animals. Animals lost to date exceed
10000, chiefly cattle.
A herd of forty animals in MERGED
county in the Buhack district were lat
