The World and All
By Charles p. Driseoll
IN NEW YORK

lN Il AORn
During the hot weather | have been living alone in
a small apartment in Twelfth street, while my family
is summering in Minnesota. l have not lived in down-
town New. York for a good many years and the novel
ty Of the existence Is a vacation in itself.
There Is a high-grade s~peakeasy within sight Of my
front windows. It is one of those exclusive places.
Meaning that some people actually are excluded,
though | do not know why.
There are plenty Of places where liquor is sold
openly in New York, with meals, where no rretense ct
exclusiveness is made. High class restaurants, With
wide-swineing doors opening upon Fifty-fifth street,
serve anything you call for, without any preliminary
inquiry into your pedigree.
But there is a certain chic note about the exclusive
speakeasy. You ring n bell and someone comes to the
door and looks you over. At the one observed from
my front window no cards are issued. Unless the man
at the door knows you or knows someone who is with
you. you are not permitted to enter.
But that doorman has a wider Acquaintance than
Henry Ford. From 10 o'clock at night until the early
morning hours, fashionably attired folk swarm into
the place. The dining room, where excellent meals are
served. is crowded, and there is a small bar for those
who like the feel Of the old-time atmosphere.
There are many such elegant spcakeasies in the
downtown area, and they all do a good business. /
have never heard any complaint Of the quality of their
goods. There is never any fighting or riotous behavior,
so far as / have heard.
Anyone who has any acquaintance in the Broadway
fellowship receives cards through the mail signed and
counter-signed and decorated with stars to indicate the
recipients standing. These are cards of admission 70
various exclusive speakeasies. And the fellow who
gets the card usually feels fIattered BY such attention.
end feels it incumbent upon him to go and spend some
money now and then at the place 50 honoring him.
There is something interesting in this game Of ex-
elusiveness. Il seems silly to talk about an exclusive
department store. Why should a department store ex-
clude anybody? And Of course it doesn't. But the
biggest Fifth avenue department store spends a great
deal Of money creating an atmosphere Of exclusive
ness. 1t is built like a GO eminent office or a great
library. No name appears anywhere on it, and you are
supposed 70 be awed by the doormen in livery and the
floorwalkers disguised as capitalists in morning clothes
or afternoon clothes and diplomatic smile. But Of
course nobody Is excluded, and a Harlem Waterman
can 20 in and buy if he has the money. But we are I
queer race Of beings, and We like 70 pay for what W.
like TO believe Il exclusiveness, even in our saloons.

The Tariff In Politics

that the tariff, which has served as a football for
aspiring politicians for over sixty years, will again
perform its usual functions in the campaign has been
demonstrated from Texas to Dakota and from New
York to the Pacific. Wherever politicians are heard
their voices ere raised in protest or promise, each out
lining his tariff platform to conform with the special
interests of those whose votes he desires 70 secure.
The tariff issue has served politicians and dema-
gogues for over half a century. II is an issue little
understood by the average voter, and hundreds Vi
politicians have ridden into office BY making tariff
promises which they we're never able 70 fulfill and
which they knew at the time could not be fulfilled.
The great majority Of voters lose sight Of the fact
that the tariff is designed for the entire nation and
not one particular section. Any candidate who asserts
that he can secure protection for certain specified in
dustries or commodities realizes that he is making a
promise extremely difficult to fulfill. Every tariff
measure has been the result or compromises, and there
is nothing to indicate that the tariff bills Of the fu-
tare will not be framed the same way.
Throughout the United States there arc now hun
dreds OF aspirants for congressional honors who are
stumping the districts they aspire to represent and in
forming the voters that they will take care OF tariff.
needs OF their respective districts. In the eastern in
dustrial centers they are promising a greater measure
OF protection for industries; in the agricultural sec
tions it is higher rates on agricultural products. They
seek TO appeal to the voters upon the basis that the
individual tariff needs of their respective districts will
be made the paramount issue IN the next congress, pro-
viding they are honored with the authority TO repre-
sent them.
From the beginning Of tariff history, the tariff IS
an issue has been used by demagogues and politicians
in efforts to arouse sectional differences for their
personal aggrandizement and to further their political
ambitions. In the final analysis those who make ex-
travagant promises in connection with proposed tariff
rates are almost invariably shown up as demagogues
who re incapable of delivering the goods.
The next session Of congress will frame a new tariff
i.w II the democrats are in power they will seek -
eoualize the protection accorded industry and agricul-
ture. If the republicans are in power few radical
changes may be expected. But the voters should bear
in mind that whatever changes are made will be the
results OF compromises, and that no amateur in tariff
making will have either the influence or votes neces-
.ary to gain his point. This will be particularly true

Without the usual apologies he had
always heard girls make before they
sat down to entertsin, she crossed
to the piano.

Il have many favorites." He set
tied back on the divan and closed his
eyes. "But ! think I want to hear

Janet-her heart full 81 love. threw
back her black head and sang:

speaking il TO rim. As though they
two were alone in the world.
Ballard sat i~mmovable. He was
stunned with the beauty Of her voice.
He had not dreamed that she could
sing like that. She sang the last
few words with n rush OF feeling.
and when she had finished there was
a tear on her cheek.
He sat up on the divan a moment.

God. Janet. you are wonderful.
You have a gift from the gods"
She longed 20 take his head be-
tween her hands ard kiss him. But
she patted his cheek as she would n
brother, and tried TO hide her con
fusion.
I'm glad you like II. Shall l sing
more for you ?"
He did not trust himself u hear
her sing like that again. With a
promise that he would come up some
evening soon and she should play for
him for hours. he grabbed his hat
from the table and hurried out.
Janet was surprised-and n little
hurt. But the kiss had betrayed him.
She knew he had gone because he
did not trust himself with her. With
a wise little smile she undressed and
climbed into bed. humming happily.
