New York's Native Son.

Gov. Smith appropriately closed hiS
campaign for the presidency last night
in his home city. In continuation of its
celebration of his candidacy, which
started Friday with a great parade.
Manhattan gave him tremendous re-
ception. The enthusiasm manifested for
him is, of course, most heartening. The
din of cheering cannot fail to give him
confidence He is an experienced poll
tician. He has passed through numer-
Gus campaigns and with but one excep-
ton has been successful He knows that
in this fight he must carry his own
State In order to win the presidency.
He may lose even though he carries it..
but he cannot win If he should lose it..
With record breaking registration,
both in New York City and in the
State above the Bronx, calculations
based on past performances are difficult
and unsafe. Partisan estimates of the
result in New York State cover a wide
AoAASC' SAASAuA OCLAOSAdbAN PAO1AOuAGC-
ments are that Gov. Smith will receive
a plurality in New York City of from
100000 to 100000, while conceding
Hoover not more than 100000 plurality
up State. This is certainly an extreme
view On the other hand, Republican
estimates place Smiths plurality in the
city at about 450,o00 and Hoover's plu-
rality up State at from $4,000 to 600,-
600.
All this figuring upon New York City
and State is complicated by the fact
that in the past Gov. Smith has been
the favorite, who has broken down party
lines In his races for the governorship.
1t has often been said in this campaign,
however, that different situation will
prevail with the presidency rather than
the governorship involved. Yet fact
remains to be borne In mind in this
connection. 1t is that Gov. Smith is a
native son of New York State and OF
New York City. Theodore Roosevelt
was the only other presidential candi-
date who was born in New York City.
In the course of history there have been
fourteen candidates for President who
were registered as New Workers by legal
residence. Four of these, Aaron Burr,
Rufus King, Horace Greeley and Grover
Cleveland, were born, respectively, in New
Jersey, Maine, New Hampshire and New
Jersey. George and Dewitt Clinton,
Martin Van Buren, Millard Fillmore,
Horatio Seymour. Samuel J. Tilden, AL
ton B. Parker and Charles z. Hughes
were born in other cities Of New York
State than the metropolis. Chester A.
Arthur, who became President through
succession after the death of Garfield.
though rated as New Yorker, was born
in Vermont.
Gov. Smiths New York nativity may
prove to be a valuable political asset to
him. His election depends in measure
on the size of the vote which he polls
in his greatest stronghold. Greater New
York, the city of his birth. Should 1t
give him a phenomenal majority. over
coming the adverse vote cast up State
he may win the presidency. Should II
fail him in this respect he will almost
certainly lose the race.

This and That
BY Charles E.r TTdcetCeH.

Jack spratt went visiting the other
day.
Not a cat visit, but a human being
sort of visit, which is an entirely diff
ferent thing for cat.
When one of the furry creatures goes
on a visit on his own, he chooses the
time and place and personally superin-
tends the details.
Such trips are much to a cats liking.
The visit Jack Spratt made, however
involved his being gathered up like a
sack of meal and carried to a nearby
home, where visitors had expressed
desire to meet him.
He was taken with some heSitancy.
since no one can ever be sure Of exactly
what a cat will do under any circunl-
stances, given or otherwise.
You can never count on cat.
e X
A dog, now, Is a reasonably stable
sort of a creature.
If you know your dog you can be
fairly sure of what he will do under cer-
tain circumstances.
If he sees a cat he may chase it, or
again he may only bark at it; but
whichever it is. If he does it once he
will do 1t again.
cat on the other paw. may adopt
one course OF action one time and eX-
actly its opposite the next, as suits his
fancy and the mood of the moment.
cat, being his own master, suits his
whimS to no one.
If he chooses to be as bold as lion.
he will do so: but If he prefers to shrink
back and cover, he will so act.

fate, but he surely is captain Of his own
soul.
When Jack Spratt was taken on his
visit he sat curled up in the carrying
arms with true feline grace.
He manifested no alarm, but looked
around the strange house with great
interest.
Immediately he began to rup his jaws
against the face above his, first on one
side and then on the other, character
istic demonstration Of affection.
This. of course, made, a great "hit"
with his new admirers.
When Jack had done this trick for
a sufficient time, he meowed to be let
down.
Once on the floor, he gazed disdain-
fully at leopard rug In his path, care

out into the dining room.
Every one-except Jack-waS dtsap-
pointed in his lack of respect for the
leopard-skin rug.
Somehow every one felt that Jack
Spratt, house cat, should show some
interest in the pelt Of one Of his great
cousins.
Jack, however, was too busy investi-
eating the dining room.
He walked first beneath the table,
then around it, after which he made at
once for the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Spratt sat himself
down in front of the refrigerator, hop
ing that a full meal would pop out.
This refrigerator, however. refused
to be as accommodating as the one at
home
Jack accordingly, after waiting a re-
spectacle time, during which any refrig-
orator should have opened, sauntered
back through the dining room.
The staircase next appealed to him,
and up this he went. A brief inspection
Of the rooms upstairs satisfied him.
Down he came, ready to go home.
His conduct had been exemplary, his
manners charming. Altogether, 1t was
most successful visit.

Flexible Tariff Changes
To Be Asked of Congress
BY HARDEN COLFAX.

Changes in the so-called flexible pro-
visions of the tariff act are to be rec
commended to Congress by the Tariff
Commission in December. In view of
the emphasis upon the tariff in the
presidential campaign and the attitude
of the nominees of both major political
parties 1t is probable that Congress will
consider these recommendations more
seriously than 1t has treated similar
proposals by the commission In the past.
Inasmuch as the price Of domestic
products, generally speaking, Is influ-
enced by the price Of their foreign
counterparts or substitutes sold in this
country, the tariff is Of concern not
only to producers and workers in the
United States, but to all consumers.
Both the Republican and the Demo-
cratic presidential candidates have de-
ing, however on proposed methods of
approach to revision Of rates.
The flexible tariff Is an innovation of
the 1922 act, the constitutionality of
which was upheld by the Supreme
Court last Spring. Under its most i'm
portant section, the President Is author
lied to change duties up or down within
range OF so per cent, or to transfer
the basis Of valuation from foreign
price to American price, in order to
equalize costs of production here and
abroad. Another section deals with un-
fair practices, and a third is concern
ed with discrimination against Amer
lean products abroad. The Tariff Com
mission Is made the agent of the Pres
ident in investigating all these cases.
Here are some of the changes in the
flexible provisions which the tariff
commissioners propose to suggest to
Congress-:
Clarification of how transportation
costs shall be treated, these being in
cluded in costs of production;
Amendment so that II change of so
per cent in rate does not equalize diff
ferences in costs of production a greater
change may be made;
Changes so as to clear up difficulties
in using invoice prices as indicators Of
foreign costs of production, which
method Is followed in some cases, some
times for convenience and at others,
when foreign producers refuse to dis
close their costs, by necessity;
Reconciliation of the periods between
proclamation and effective date of the
change 80 days being required In one
subsection and Is in another
Amendment to permit transfers from
the dutiable TO the free list and vice
