equally wellknown array of foreigners, are sounding
cry for lower tariffs which, before last echo dies
is bound to be heard from one end of this broad
land to the other.
In one Of the most remarkable documents of
generation Morgan and his associates frankly lay
much of the blame for postwar ills on customs bar
rers which many countries have seen fit to raise.
The high cost Of living, currency imitation, nterna-
tonal trade stagnation the falling off of imports and
exports and the unrest and i'll feeling everywhere
observable, says the manifesto all in part the
evil offspring of high tariffs.
There can be no recovery in Europe" the sur
prising document sets forth, till politicians in all
territories, old and new, realize that trade is not
war, but process of exchange, that In time of
peace neighbors our customers and that their
prosperity is a condition of our well-being If we
check their dealings their power to pay their debts
diminshes and their power to purchase our goods is
reduced.
Restricted imports involve restricted exports
and no nation afford to lose it's export trade De-
pendent we all are upon imports and exports and
the processes of international exchange we can
not view without grave concern policy which means
the impoverishment of Europe"
The G. o. P. has always been the high priest Of
protective tariff in this country LII recent years
it has raised its ante and made it almost pro-
hibitive tariff-the highest in the world. And Big
Business has always lined up to a man behind this
buwark of privilege.
Now there indications that this support is
webbing. Far sighted business men, it would ap-
pear beginning to the super-tarif thing can
be overdone-that eventually 1t might prove a
boomerang. And the Administration realizing that
1928 is just around the corner is certainly guessing
if not worried.
True, the manifesto is expressed in general lam
guage and one of Morgan's cosigners John J.
it was not intended to have any reference to the
American tariff
Maybe But whether it was so intended" or
not 1t must of necessity include it and for cause It
was signed by several representative business men

sibly exclude America because hers is the highest
Of them ALL
Fancy American business men, protected by an
almost insurmountahe customs barrier telling Euro
peans to come out from behind their comparatively
low ones and compete in the marts of trade
"of course we'll not let you sell any goods in
our country, we would be saying to Europe, "but if
you know which side your breads buttered on you'll

We have no way of knowing, of course what
was in the minds of Messrs Morgan Mitchell and
the others when they put their names to the destined
to-become-famous plea for lower tariffs But unless
they include our own country in it, then the paper
becomes the most colossal piece of impudence and
hypocrisy that has made its appearance in this coun
try since the day we Americans began smugly to tell
Europe how to run her business

Marines for Mails

Two thousand five hundred
Marines to guard the United States
rlail-shall we glorify it as a grand
: overture, or bow our heads in
shame?
1t is necessary, of course, but in
that lies the humiliation. What has
happened in America that this great
est and most useful of all public
services should have become the
target of banditry?
Sixteen million dollars have been
taken by thieves from mail cars and
postoffices during the last six years,
and though three-fourths Of it has
been recovered, the crime remains.
Scores of young men - three
brothers in one instance, all of them
under 25. are being stalked like
beasts with price on their heads,
but not until they had proved them
worthy of no other fate.
We're not going to cure the infec-
ton by merely getting mad, or
Shooting to kill' for a reason.
Somewhere behind the scenes old
er people have failed to guide youth
in the right direction, and until the
fault has been corrected we can
hardly hope for permanent relief.

Indiana Voters Too Busy
Reading Favonte
Authors.
By Nj. f. Tracy


Amid such exaggeration, hurt
pride and political balderdash the
story of Klan rule in Indiana is
gradually being developed.
You couldn't believe one-half of
it and maintain your sef-respect.
but you don't have to in order to
sense the rottenness.
Indiana people must have been
too busy reading their favorite au-
thors to notice what was going on.
Otherwise, how could a man like
d. c. Stephenson have gained con.
troll of the dominant party?
But that Is a rather irconsequen-
tial question compared to some other
aspects of the situation.
Indiana seems to have been picked
by the Khan for It's most aggressive
and nastiest work.
Perhaps this was because so many
prominent" leaders lent their ears
to its siren song.
To let one former cyclops tell It.
no less a parsonage than Senator
James e. Watson permitted himself
to be groomed for the presidency by
the hooded order. It was a mag.
niflcent delusion on all sides.

EdiSon'S Invention

1t was fifty years ago yesterday
that Thomas A. Edison. then man
of 81, sealed a loop of carbonized cot
ton thread in a glass bulb from
which the air had been pumped,
brought it in contact with an electric
current and made light.
On the following New Years day
5000 people visited his Menlo Park
laboratory to see this almost unbe-
lievable piece of magic worked.
We can't understand their inter-
est or emotions, because, with the ex-
ception of grandfathers and grand
mothers, we know nothing OF that
good old time when the kerosene
lamp and tallow candle reigned SUI
preme.
Mr.. Edison is one Of the few men
who have lived to see one Of their
inventions change an important Gus
tom.
1t must be a source OF great salts
faction for him to contemplate the
millions OF homes that have been
made brighter and happier by his
incandescent lamp.

Middle Over Tariff

This Government would better
keep out of Europe's tariff muddle.
1t can't go into court with hands
that are exactly clean. or with a
policy for others 1t is ready to prac-
tice itself.
Unless Coolidge and Mellon are
willing to advocate lower duties for
America. how can they boast free
trade for Europe, Besides. why
should we be so generous with ad.
vice. while willing to assume no
responsibility.
If European bankers and finan-
ciers want trade barriers removed
in Europe, that Is their business.
We certainly don't want them mess
ing in our affairs and IL we don't,
the best way to make them see pro-
priety of it is to keep out Of theirs.

AN INEXCUSABLELI

If there be any influence among the alumni of the
Indiana University, it should be extended and
at to forever make it impossible for Clyde
Wab to ever again insult and attack one of its most
revered professors.
When Walb, driven to expedients to cloak his own
utter lack Of any foundation for his charges of whole
sale corruption and graft, gave the name Of Dr.
Amos Hershey to the Reed committee as a paid
propaganda, he uttered what every educator and
every student knows to be utterly inexcusable lie
Dr. Hershey is one of the most respected author
tiles international affairs deep student, and
renowned educator.
He is one of the for the Indiana Uni
versty, fearless and courageous, seeking the truth
and disseminating truth as he sees it.
The implication from the dragging in of his
name by Walb, when linked with Wab's statement
that there was money of international bankers in
every precinct who were behind the Stephenson
charges for the sake of discrediting Watson and
Robinson was that DR.. Hershey was a part of a
crusade of SANDER.
1t must have been desperate man who would
have dared to take such a step, man so desperate

Communism, Christianity

Russia is apparently ready to war
on tho prevailing religious beliefs,
as we'll as the basic political doe
trlnes OF white civilization.
The expulsion Of the head OF the
Y. NJ. c. A. may be taken as evil
dence Of her intentions.
Communism seems unable to mix
with Christianity. which is probably
the worse for communism.
1t is a weakness of revolutlonists
TO think that they must destroy
everything that smacks Of the old
order
Christianity itself can not plead
freedom from this weakness, for no
sooner did 1t gain control of the
Roman world than 1t went forth to
obliterate the old art. science and
culture, as we'll as the old faith.
