INToRD comes from Washington that
w the National Tariff council is rails
ing money to be used. in one way or an
other. in creating sentiment against the
reappointmcnt of David J. Lewis to the
tariff commission. Mr. Lewis position
ON the sugar tariff is not at all pleasing
TO the council.
The nerve of them, II these tariff
fondlers were TO take the money they
raise TO the executive offices and lay II
ON Mr.. Coolidges table with the remark,
"Here, Cal. you keep this man Lewis off
the commission and YOU may have this
money" they could not offer a more wan
ton insult to the presidential office than
they now do. If the report is true, by rails
ing the fund to influence Mr.. Coolidge by
ndirection.
Where is the fool-killer? This is a job
for him.

Talk Is Talk

A DISTINGUISHED Englishman. Mr..
n Alfred II. Scott, late of the British
parliament, has just arrived upon our
shores and his early comment is upon our
foolish handling of our Reds The
more opportunity you give a man who
wants to talk" says Mr.. Scott, the more
certain you can be that no one will pay
any attention to il.
There's a thought in Mr.. SCOTS opln-
ion. Certain il is that attempts TO jail
talk haven't put down what Reds we
have. and it is very likely that giving a
man all the chance to talk he wants will
have the same effect as in the case of
woman. A woman given to talking to her
limit usually accomplishes little save that
she frees her mind" II we have any
Red menace" at all. the danger lies. not
in the Reds" talking, but in saying 1t
with bombs.
