THE TRAGEDY OF THE LONELY
BY JOHN CARLYLE

BY JOHN CARLYLE
TNHIS is the story of Joseph and Anna
After living for some long and lonely
years on South Dakota farm, seeing almost
nobody hearing almost nothing, speaking lit
tie English they came to New York on a
home-bound trip to Europe.
They had sold their farm and brought their
savings with them.
They looked forward to old age among home
folks, an old age of comfort and contentment
Told by conductor to get his baggage out
Of the way, Joseph Gallo stepped off a New
YORK subway train at the wrong station.
Anna went on, knowing nothing of New York
oewildered and terrified by the crowds
For days Joseph Gallo searched for his wife.
When he found her she dead, and in the
morgue.
Anna Gallo had died from heart failure.
brought on by fright and loneliness
1t strikes one with a shock-the thoughtless
crowds and the tired and lonely stranger. lost,
confused, hopeless.
1t is one more sad lesson, one more con-
vincing indication that the melting pot does
not melt. The fire under the melting rot
if any, is not the fire of love and understand
ing
After living for years in America Joseph
and Anna Gallo had not become a part of us,
did not speak our language. They were not
sufficiently familiar with our ways to recover
each other after what might have been only
an afternoons adventure.
The fault is partly theirs and partly ours.
In all too many cases aliens on our shores
are not trying to be a part of us. They do
not like and they will not even try our
ways.
They will not make the earnest effort
to be good citizens. Hence they get results.
On the other hand are we, the most of us,
reaching out thOughtfully and kindly and I'M
selfishy with a hand to help and arm to
lift?
The tragedy of Joseph and Anna Gallo IS
the tragedy of a man and woman who tried
to be too Independent of their fellows.

4 Hoa. Upon Farmers, And
4 Burden Ubo,, the Public

w YELL may the farmers of the United
w States pray to be delivered from their
Republican friends" The authors
of the Fordney. McCumber tariff seek to justi-
fy that widely oppressive law by saying that
it was passed for the protection of agricul-
ture. To what extent it comes up to that
avowal, let the non-p partisan American Farm
Bureau Federation give answer.
Investigating the matter with open mind
and for the sole purpose Of ascertaining facts
for guidance in looking after the interests of
its members, the Federation finds that while
the Republican tariff gains the farmers ap-
proximately one hundred and twenty-five
million dollars a year through import duties
on what they raise and sell, it costs the
twehty-six million dollars a year through
import duties what they have to buy; so
that the net result is an annual tariff loss
to agriculture of three hundred and one mil
lion dollars. This figure, says summary of
the findings, is regarded by the Federation
as quite conservative after liberal allowance
for all possible benefits to farmers in conse-
quence of tariff protection things which
he produces. The yearly cost to the consum-
ing public, farmers included, is placed in the
neighborhood OF two billion dollars, which
reckoning is deemed probably too low, mas
much as mo allowance has been made in any
OF our estimates for possible pyramiding of
due 5ctw~~-. producer or importer and fna.
consumer practice which is said frequent
ly to double or well-nigh treble the amount of
the actual duty Thus does tariff, avow-
eddy enacted to protect agriculture, add up
wards OF thrc hundred million dollars a
year, net to the farmers cost of living and
two billion to that of consumers at large.
A few examples make the hoax still palmer.
1.-The Federation finds that the utmost ben
eft the wheat grower may receive from the
duty OF thirty cents per bushel granting
that he gets the full benefit in increased
prices for his wheat) is ten million dollars.
The minimum additional cost to the consum-
ers in the increased price CO flour is twelve
Million" Similarly in the case of sugar, the
greatest gain to American growers is forty
five million, eight hundred thousand dollars
while the Igar tariff upon consumers in
the form OF higher prices is one hundred and
ninety-two million, four hundred tho, "a.
Now note the effect on the agricultural rank
and file: "Of this increase the farmer must
pay forty-eight million, one hundred thousand
dollars for the sugar he buys, net loss to
him, as class, of nearly three million dol
lars annually. For the wool duty from which
the grower is assumed to get a benefit OF
thirty seven million, five hundred thousand
dollars annually, the American consumer
must pay ninety-one million dollars in higher
prices for wooden goods" This estimate
which leaves "pyramiding" wholly out of &C
count is considered exceedingly low. OF tina
rinety-one millions the farmer being himsel
a consumer. is reckoned to pay, as a class

Paean From the Coastal Plain

elusive of cotton, peanuts and corn
fields and orchards, though the harvest tide
is young, moves our admired contemporary
the Savannah Morning News, to a paean over
the Coastal Plain. First it is granted in
notes subdued, sthat a nook of our common
wealth, alluded to as "North,'' did produce
"a considerable number of cars Of peaches
the st summer" and will ship, In the course
OF the winter, probably six or seven hundred
cars of apples" along with "some potatoes
some honey, some truck, some peanuts"
But
Hear now trumpet of triumph which the
Appalachians rejoice to echo: THE great
bulk OF the twenty-five thousand carloads
and much of what is yet to be shipped was
produced in South Georgia." Are there be-
nighted outlanders who would doubt? Then
let them answer these posers: Where does
the bulk Of the peach crop grow except in
South and Middle Georgia? Where does the
three million dollar pecan crop come from
except South Georgia? Where did the seven
mllion-dollar tobacco c, grow-except in
| South Georgia, and in about score Of coun-
ties only OF South Georgia? Where does the
sweet potato crop grow-including the Big
Stem Jerseys which sell in the East at twelve
dollars barrel, save in South Georgia ?
Where is the honey production-except in
South Georgia? Where's the bulk Of the pea
nut crop; isn't it in South Georgia? Where
are the cash truck growing regions, the plant
industry headquarters, the berry regions, the
vegetable crops, the trainloads Of "cants and
lcukes, the immense yield of Irish potatoes,
the tremendously larger share of the water
melon yield? In South Georgia. Where's the
exclusive naval stores region of the state
except in South Georgia? Where in Georgia.
except in Southeast Georgia, is there wealth
to be melted from the =? Where is the
vast dairying and beef cattle region-as yet
merely demonstrating its possbilities-but in
South Georgia? The map is right; South
Georgia is the biggest half of the state by far
And this bigger half is as yet barely touched
as to possible yield as to potentialities of cul-
uvation in area or productivity under inten-
sive cultivation!
To all of which we Of the Piedmont coun-
try rejoin, So be it, brother!, You will find
no heartier, no happier, no more devoted
Iadmrer Of South Georgia than ourselves. We
ask only the privilege of joining our little
drops Of water, constituting considerable
source of hydro-electric power, and our little
grains of sand, which probably have some
mineral value, and our modest fruits of field
and orchard, herd and flock-of joining
these, we say, to your own imperial treasures
for the building of a greater commonwealth,
and nobler. Nor can we imagine more
delightful opportunity than to visit our
cousins of the Coastal Plain, particularly by
the broad Savannah, unless it be to have
them visit us in the picturesque haunts of the
| highlands.

600 volts or more, when partially
grounded or shorted, will emit a
very bright flash and roar if power
is applied. This flash Can usually be
seen for miles at night. Men were
put on the trouble section at inter-
walls and prearranged power appli-
cations made to the line until Ills
A NJ, but no sign of the trouble
was visible. Since the night was
extremely dark, and realizing that
the trouble must be an absolute
dead ground, it was necessary for
sufficient light to Zee in order to
locate the exact trouble. Our en-
tire trouble crew waited at Smith
vile until it was light enough to
insure not walking over the cause Of
the interruption. The trouble was
located and remedied shortly after
wards, but as your article stated,
it was necessary from a safety
standpoint to be assured that all men
were clear before resuming opera
ton of the line.
Gold weather had caused a burn
ed tie wire to give way, and an ex-
tremely high wind blown the conduc-
tor off the top insulator. The wire
rested on the pole top, and tension
in the conductor was sufficient to
make firm contact with the pole
over the full width of the pole
This contact was so firm that no
arc was possible, in fact the conduc-
tor on examination showed absolute
ly no burning, when ordinarily with
power applied as often as had been
done in this case the conductor
would have been literally fused
away for some distance each side
of the contact point.
Il have gone into this at some
length which no doubt is not of in
terest to you or any one else who
was Inconvenience by our outage,
but l feel that everything possible
to find and remedy the trouble aad
been done. Schedules for proce-
dure in case of Interruptions are {
part of our operating work, and
these are posted in our different sta
lions at all times. The prearrangeo
movements were carried out prompt
ly, and every man connected with
this phase of operations was on the
job continuously. We all regret the
outage, and perhaps the mental
strain on those responsible for re
sumption of service was many
times greater than that of any per
sons who may have been without
service.
AT any rate you can be assured
that public service man have only
one aim, and that to give the best
service possible at all times and in
all weather. He does not wait for
fair weather or union hours. Moth
! ing counts except Keeping the lines
hot. He works Sundays nearly all
the time to keep you from being in,
conYenienced by any changes which
he might have to make. Therefore
when something does go wrong and
you are inconvenience, think
about the times he takes chance;
and gets by with them in order to
give you the power and light which
has become so necessary, and at just
as little inconvenience to his Gus
toners that is possible. His con-
tinuous service his pride, and his in
terruptions he never likes to talk
about"

Mexico City.-One strange feature
of the international gatherings in
honor of the inauguration of Presi-

the Hotel Mansera, headquarters of
President Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor, at noon Sunday.
At the largest table in the big dim

the Russian soviet embassy, sitting
at the head of the table, entertained
a group of visitors who came on the
special labor train from Ell Paso

gate, and Benjamin Schlsosberg, of
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers,
and correspondent of the New York
