Gibbs P1OUeS That Youth Is All Right
in a Defense of Boys and Girls Today

derstand that an experience in the
life of a lad is often nothing more
nor less than a mental experience.
The older crew desires that the
younger lot take up the burdens of
the future. The old heads will not
permit youth to be just youth. Old
age folk love to worry about the
world and tomorrow While youth
is youth its members tackle the
Is youth Of the hour, but youth un.
consciously is ready for tomorrow.
Gibbs permits his character to
grow page by page and when the
story is told youth Is supporting and
protecting their parents from the
horror of old age. That is natural
and right. But youth actually trains
itself for such a mission in life, but
the younger set will not admit it..
Gibbs tells a real he-man's story.
He does not shield the younger set
because he knows the bunch. Things
branded as crimes Of youth often are
invented by novensts. Gibbs is not
guilty of that. He gives the boy
and girl OF today a chance to find
themselves.
He has drawn several characters
which will live in your memory. The
setting, of course, is England. The
younger lot of that country is not
different from your younger set.
Newspaper Background
And yet back of this engaging
story is g. strong newspaper back
ground. The climax of the story is
really centered upon the collapse Of
powerful newspaper owner in
England. 1t is not youth that falls
in this clash, but the older set.
Some may accuse Gibbs of making
only a defense Of youth. 1 cannot
agree to that as a basis OF criticism.
He puts more than a cigarette and
a drink in the hands of his young
people. Petting parties are not the
chief concern of the majority of boys
and girls. A rotter Is a rotter any
place you find him. Gibbs puts liv-
ing personality into his characters.
Gibbs has written a novel which
will be one of the best sellers for
months. 1t has thought and many
splendid dramatic moments. There Is
sparkle and charm to this story.
Read Heirs Apparent" If you
want to understand the so-called
younger generation.

1t was McKinley's greatest am
bition, now that the country had
reached It's highest development
under the protective system, with
an excess of production demanding
outlet, to round out his career by
gaining for America a supremacy
in the markets Of the world, and
this he hoped to do without weak
ening the protective system.
During all the years that was
in Congress the stupendous prob
lens which now confront US, and
which will occupy us for a long
time to come, had already begun

Allowed Time
The speech, which was after
ward widely circulated, evidently
so impressed the party leaders as
to assure me a place on the Ways
and Means Committee.
AS soon as the committee was
organized we began serious work
upon the preparation of the meas
ure. afterward known as the Nc
Kinley bill. Mckinley appor-
toned the different schedules to
subcommittee for special con-
sideration. l was assigned to pre-
pare the agricultural. jute. hemp,

was one Of three on the metal

For many weeks we held open
hearings and scores of men of all
classes appeared before us and
presented their views. Most of the
information we then received as

loose statements of interested men.

ties were fixed, because free COM
petition between domestic manu-
facturers within the tariff wall
would inevitably force prices down,
insuring the lowest charge to the
consumer commensurate with pay
ing American wages to American
workmen.
But the trouble has been that do
nestle competition did not prove
the strong regulator Of commerce
that the early protectionists be-
lieved it would. Money interests
began to form monopolies behind
the tariff wall and both consumers
and wage-earners began to suffer
from extortion.
The difference in view on the
tariff between the progressive Re
publicans and the so-called" stand
pat" Republicans lies exactly here.
The progressives have seen this
vast revolution in economic condi-
lions and have recognized the need
of real changes in our tariff~sys-
TEN, while the "stand-pat" Repub-
licans, led by Aldrich, Penrose,
Lodge, Smoot and others, have re-

withstanding the growth OF extor,
tomato monopolies. They believe
it more important to keep up the
