tariff and it to equalize the price be-
tween domestic and foreign sales of farm produce In
other words and in plain terms the Government
would thus underwrite reasonable profit for the
farmer and let the cost fall as it might
And why not? If fappers will create revenues for
the treasury by buying ruby lips and compilations
brought from France, why should not these rev.
enues be made to cheer the farmers wife? If city
ladies will have undies from Paris, why should nc>
the tariff on them be made to buy wooden under
wear for the folks on the farm? And so
And think how different the farmer would come
to feel toward the tariff! For years he has seen the
infant industries coddled on tariff, while he has
been obliged to buy his necessities in protected
market and sell his labor in an unprotected one
But this new use for tariff revenues! That from
the farmers point of view, must seem inspired
idea.

economic system as it exists throughout all the non
Russian world. That is why it has been looked OIL
with more than suspicion by the gallery OF outsiders
When the new experiment in economies ana gov
eminent went into effect it was under unpromlslng
ausnices Russia was wrecked and starving as a
result of the World War; Over four million OF her
young men had been killed or were missing on tne
battlefelds and another five million had been GRIP
pied or wounded And during tne neXG tnree yea.S
the country was called upon to face civil war; foreign
nvasions and blockade, while disease ana famine
swept cities and farms.
Today Russia celebrates the continuity of the ex-
pertinent IN governing and points to considerable
measure of economic recovery. Her economic sys-
tenn is different fro n1that OF all the rest OF the
world Instead of unlimited competition and I'M
limited private ownership Russia has public owner

operative enterprises side by side with government
run ENTERPRISES There is also>a limited number OF
private enterprises The public private and co-opera-
tive enterprises compete with one another In agri-
culture about ninety eight per cent or the output
comes from individual producers who, however hold
their land for only and who market their produce
through cooperative and other organizations. TRADE
is open and free About fortyfo per cent OF pro-
duction and trade is by co-operatives State organ
izations about thirty per cent OF industry and
private traders twenty-five per cent Credit tranSpor

Foreign trade is state monopoly. few concessions
to foreigners are granted for working natural re-
sources such as minerals and forests.
The Russian economic system is admittedly in proc
ess of evolution. 1t is not MARKHAM socialism, nor Is
it pre-war communism. Tt u.s. as seen above, COM

What will come of it all is question only the
years will answer 1t is hard for nations addicted
to the time-honored private ownership and private
and unlimited competition and profit to view the
radical experiment with equaninity But in spite OF
the suspicion and mfriendiness of the outside world
the Russian experiment may eventually bring bless

abolishing poverty and the fear of want it will have
gone far toward solving other great problems like
abolishing
But whatever happens 1t will be universally ad-
mitted that in working out revolution like the Rus

The Burns Sort of Work

"Ive been doing this sort of work for the Gov
eminent for thiry-fve years." said William j. Burns
day or two ago defending his connection with the
Sinclair jury mess
Burns might or might not have had in mind the
false afdavits it is charged he asked L36 to swear
to when he made this statement There is no way
of telling.
And just at present it is not probable that the
word of Mr. William j. Burns has any considerable
face value, either.
But the fact remains that the Government of the
United States has at various times in the past
ployed the services of this same Mr. Burns, and did
at time make him head of its bureau of in
vestgation in the Department of Justice
Repeatedly the suspicion has been voiced that
Burns working for the Government was much the
sort of person that Burns working for Sinclair
has proved to be.
The Government of the United States should
rest until it is free of all possible suspicion that
it, any of its employees engages through its secret
services in the manufacture of evidence, and the
framing Of innocent men to let guilty escape.
The United States Government has on its
pay roll 4503 engaged in undercover work of one
sort another.
Spying of all kinds is by its very nature, always
open to suspicion of including these graver ofenses
Where an undercover force is put to work, there
is little chance to detect or halt such abuses.
The insdious growth of this system and its dan
gers pointed out by the Scripps- Howard news
papers only few months ago.
If the present exposure of detective methods leads
the public to demand that the Government reduce
its secret agents to the very minimum number and
that every safeguard be established against abuses
that almost inevitable part of such work. real
good will result from the present exposure

TRACY
SAYS:
If George Remus, the Ac-
cused, WAS Insane, Was
He IN FIT Condition to
Employ George Remas
as AttorRey?"

Disasters like that occurring in
Pittsburgh leave little for one to
say.
They originate in the gigantic
forces men have called forth for
the betterment of life.
The fact that many people
thought it was an earthquake
when the gas tank blew up shows
how far ingenuity has gone in its
concentration of power.
Practically all large cities now
boast machines and reservoirs
which, if they go wrong, make a
good imitation Of nature in her
ugliest mood.
Some one was careless, no doubt,
because carelessnesS is the price
we pay for growing too familiar
with dangerous instruments.
One of the greatest problems of
modern life is to keep people
mindful of the h-dealing de-
vices with which modern civiliza-
ton has surrounded them and of
the necessity of being constantly
on guard not only for their own
protection, but for the protection
of others.

"A Tariff AS Is!

There would be something little bit amusing, If
1t should happen-Gt really does not as if it
could happen-that Congress and Mr. Coolidge should
finally decide to solve the farmers problem by using
the tariff revenues to make up the farmers deficit
Somehow, somewhere, it seems that money must
be found to insure better markets and prices for the
farmers products. In seven-year period OF pros
perity for most other citizens the farmer has been
raising hs~crops and selling them at cost or at
a loss This can't go on. A nation, said Lincoln,
could not exist half slave and half free. No more
can it exist half prosperous and half bankrupt.
The McNary- Haugen and other suggested legis-
lative remedies have proposed borrowing money from
public revenues and then taxing the benefcaries to
pay 1t back These remedies have been criticised out
Of court They have been vetoed and rejected. So
nothing has happened

SchWab, as Steel Leader

BY his refusal to. sanction a re-
duction of wages or an increase
in price to the extent of 81 a ton,
Charles M. Schwab has not only
steadied the steel industry, but
proved his fitness to take Judge
Gary's place.
Schwab is one of those rare
characters who can do big things
without losing their sense of hui
NOR or their appreciation of the
human side of business.
Forty-nine years in steel, with
the accumulation of such power
and wealth as few can ever hope
to enjoy, leave him still sympa-
thetic toward the troubles and
trials of ordinary folks and still
committed to the creed ito make
working men content and happy;
to make them love their work and
have a personal interest in the
business-that's the greatest field
of engineering I ever entered"

leper Death Trial

An even more peculiar case
opens in Louisiana, where Ed
Payton, a Negro leper, goes on
trial for numbering a fellow
sufferer in the leper colony at
Carrville, and where ten of the
witnesses are afflicted with this
dread malady.
Authorities are wondering
whether it will be possible to OBJ
tain jury to hear the case.
Doctor Denny, superintendent
of the Carrville Leprosarium, says
there would be little danger of in
lection, but that does not square
with the prevalent superstition.
In spite Of all that has been
written and said on the subject
by medical authorities, the belief
remains firmly planted that
leproSy is the most terrible of all
Affections, and that there is risk
of catching it in the slightest
contact.

RemuS' Sanity Plea

George Remus goes on trial for
the murder of his wife in Cincin-
natl. He will act as his own
counsel, and his defense will be
temporary insanity.
In other words, George Remus,
the attorney, will defend George
Remus, the accused, on the ground
that the latter was insane when
he committed the crime.
If George RemuS, the accused,
was insane, why was not George
Remus, the attorney?
If George Remus, the attorney,
was insane, was he in fit condi-
ton to prepare the case?
If George Remus, the accused,
was insane, was he in a fit condi-
ton to employ George Remus as
attorney?
In order to defend George Re-
mus, the accused, as insane,
George Remus, the attorney, will
have to admit that he was also
insane. If George RemuS, the at
torney, admits this, does he not
virtually disqualify himself as
counsel?
If George Remus, the accused,
forces George Remus, the attor-
ney, to admit that he was insane
in order to make a defense, does
he not put the latter in peculiar
position before the court?
If George Remus, the attorney,
admits that he was insane, does
he not make a reversal of the case
almost inevitable, on the ground
that George Remus, the accused,
did not have the proper kind of
counsel?

fla Porte Herald Argus)


John G. Lodge, who never made campaign speech
passed cigars to the voters made fowery promises,
belabored his opponent in the political ring with
accusationS-truly political phenom-
Do+.o;+,o enon-has been elected mayor OF De-
~ - 10 troit. His opponent the present mayor
WeC-DTY John w. Smith, had attracted noto-
Election riety by telling the world not to worry
about the Eighteenth Amendment, tnat
it couldn't be enforced and that he didn't intend to
try thus making wet and dry fight out of the cam
paign, if one is to believe certain newspapers.
1t appears that Mr.. Lodge is not so much dry as
he is for the orderly administration of city affairs in
their very aspect He deplored that the wet and dry
issue dragged into the campaign, as he believes
that good government is matter of competent men
and not of issues that the prohibition law should be
enforced as other laws enforced and that city
administration has place for fanatics anything.
Mayor Smiths defeat however remains victory
for good government because Of the attitude he
took. His philosophy is that public opinion, acting
the spur of the moment, set aside law as
its wtim and he is confident that public opinion has
decided against the prohibition law. 1t was his idea
then to ignore the law.
Democracy decides its laws by ballot, by the vote,
and that is the only way a republic operate.
No political philosophy has devised better
method and if we are to have government, we must
continue to let the ballot decide and not what some
man interprets as public opinion.

Admits One Mistake

In a recent speech Schwab said
that he was contented with his
life as he has lived it and would
not change a single day.
On thinking it over, however,
he decided that this was not quite
true and that there was at least
one day he would like to live over
again.
That was the day on which he
had chance to back the Wright
brothers and turned it down.

Auotbpr in the DR.. Shumaker contempt Of
IU:t court case.
DoJo;s, The news dispatches Of recent days

and that it will be necessary to take his deposition at
Washington Senator Robinson will appear before
the court, it Is indicated, but
Henry Lane Wilson, the "key" to the Incl
dent it is announced is sailing for Europe and will
not be present at the hearing.
Lane according to the reports, conducted the tele-
phone inquiry between Shumaker and Watson up to
the point where Watson answered the call from Shu-
maker. Shumaker states that Watson agreed to "see
after his case before the Supreme Court" This
Watson denies Robinson admits calling Senator
Watsons attention to the matter but denies any con-

Wilson may and may not have an important bear

To the Editor:

To the Editor:
Concerning an articles written by
Allene Sumner under the title
"Woman's Day" I have never seen
a woman yet with enough long hair
to stuff all the overstuffed auites
of an entire town.
Femininity is at its highest pre-
MUM when you see woman with
long beautiful hair done up in a
neat couture.
Long hair is still priced as a sign
of extreme femininity. All OF our
late beauties were ones chosen with
long beautiful hair, neatly dressed.
Long hair is just as sanitary as
the boobed locks. Some bobbed hair
hasn't even got any locks left.
Bobbed hair is nothing but mas
culine form and in general is not
liked nor admired by real men.
God gave women long hair for
her real glory.
