BORAH CHIDES RIVALS
 F0 STAND ON TARIFF
(Continusd from First Pase)

senator said Governor Smith four years ago had denounced tho pro- tectice system n n cold blooded holdup of the American people in the interest of the few" MT. Borah also declared that Senator Robin. son. the governors running mate, had been . consistent opponent of tariff protection during his senatoE- ial career.
 Both democratic candidates. and Governor Smith in particular. were charged by the senator with having been converted overnight" to the tarif on the ground of political ex- pediency." Mr. Borah also disclaim- ed declaration made by the demo- cratic candidate . week ago in Louisville that the republicans had given the farmers the benefit of the tarift protection and that President Coolidge had starved tho tariff commission" in appropriations and prevented it from operating effi- ciently.
 The republican presidential candi- date was described by the senator as being . whole advocate of tariff protection as a means of maintaining American standards of living and wages. MT. Borah made plea that the presidency should not be entrusted to the democratic candidates who had been recent converts" to this system, while Hoover's attitude on the tarint was of long standing.
 Reiterating his charge that the prohibition stand of Governor Smith was instiEated by Tammany Hall and repudiated the dry plank of the democratic Houston convention plat form, Senator Borah declared that southern democratic leaders "were fighting for their lives" because in- dependent democrats arc unwilling to surrender to the dictation of Tammany."

senator had not always thought 'iso much" about Herbert Hoover. who he is supporting.
 He was not 70 kind to him only comparative few years ago." he went on. "He had . little different idea of him when he was food ad- ministrator."
 Tho democratic candidate quoted from Borah's speeches in the senate and said he regarded them a . rather severe indictment of the effi- ciency of Mr. Hoover in the hand ling of the food administrator of- nce"
 "He said something else" the governor added. Listen to it: No man who has such perfected views of decency ought to be entrusted with unlimited power to deal with one hundred million dollars
 Nov. I confess that that is jumbled in the record, but I ask Senator Borah, to whom did he re- fer?"
 Gov. Smith said Borah once had declared that "Mr. Hoover. who violated the most fundamental principles of the constitution of this country will not have very much re- gard for a statute in Europe"
 '"rhis to my way of thinking is . very polite way of calling . man . law breaker" the nominee added.
 The governor reiterated his plan for revision of the prohibition laws and was applauded and cheered when he declared:
 And you can make up your minds that if I take the oath Of office on the 9th day of next March as president of the United States and I swear before high heaven that I shall uphold the constitution and the law of this country. l will do it."
 On water power, the nominee asked "what about the great. half completed power development at Muscle Shoals, and the development at Boulder Canyon on the Colorado river?"
 Take 1t from me-" he declared, ''leave the great water power re- sources in the hands of the republt- can party and in the next four years they will be under private owner- ship. and operated for private profit and for private gain"

for Robb. Acting like a tempera- mental opera singer!" she scolded herself, running up the unearpeted stairs to her bedroom to get the white kid gloves.
 She began to hum, under her breath, the song that he had asked her to sing, as she tied a piece of white satin ribbon round the glove box.
 Emmy could still remember the Johnny McCree.H It had been on a Saturday afternoon years before. when she and her mother stood on the corner of Euclid avenue and Ninth street for two hours, waiting for her father. He was to have met them at three o'clock to buy Emmy pair of school shoes.
 At five o'clock they had started home.
 Your father has been tied up somewhere" Mrs. Milburn had said. and on the way rp the street from the trolley car she had sung John ny McCree' to Emmy: "The plums are few and the cake
 is plain.
 And the shoes are out at toe, For coins you look in the purse in vain,
 They were all spent long ago. 1 But Johnny McCrec-oh. what cares he | As he whistles along tho street? | Would you have the blues For pair of shoes

She went into the kitchen. Mrs Milburn was standing at the sink cutting up head of lettuce fol salad. "Robb gone?" she asked. l "Yes." | You weren't very polite to him were you?"
 No" Emmy answered quietly I'm sorry"
 And yet, she said to herself a sec ond later, perhaps it was better after all, to keep him in his place if what Grandmother said abou him was true.
 Emmy's deep eyes were trouble' as she sat down in the small red cushioned rocker beside the kitchel

Then Emmy broke 1t with . long sigh. II wish I could take some more singing lessons from Ars. Hartzell pretty soon.' she remark ed. wistfully. Then could earn some money and get us all out of this awful street-thiS hateful neighborhood. Nobody decent to associate with" Her voice trailed off into silence.
 Perhaps VIC can arrange for you to have some more." said Mrs. Mill burn. and her hand went quickly to her apron pocket. Through the thin starched muslin Emmy could make out the folded fifty-dollar bill that had been Grandmother Pentland's birthday present for her.
 I'm not going to try to take any until finish high school next June, though. It's too much york;" Emmy hurried on. She was not going to have that money spent on her - that money that was to % for rent. Not If she knew 1t!
 Outside in the street rose . sound of shrill whistling. Then there was scuffling of feet on the back steps and young Dan burst into the kitchen.
 Dan was the baby of the family. He was red-headed and freckled, ! and his wide smile showed large square white teeth. His face was flushed and dirty. and there was mud on his sweater. He had been playing football down in the Stand ard lot, 50 he said, and had forgot ten all about the time.
 "Go upstairs and wash yourself, Here's the tea-kettle." his mother told him briskly. as she handed il | to him. There were no hot-water pipes In the little house. and all the water had to be heated on the kitchen stove. You bet." replied young Dan | with great cheerfulness.
 That was his stock phrase-"You bet!'-said with much enthusiasm always. Dan was always enthusi- astic, always oblising. always will ing to do things. Especially thinga that took him out of the house. He loved to be on the street with hia cronies.
 At fifteen. Dan was | man of the world in his own eyes.

 A minute after he had run up the stairs. taking them two steps at q time and spilling hot water as he went, the front door opened.

 But she didn't know how to begin. It seemed such silly thing to talk about-to put into words. somehow.
 Mrs. Milburn glanced down at her vivid head againts the red calico cushions once or twice. as she cut the lettuce into tiny pale-green bits. Her quick eye took in the frowu on Emmy's forehead. the nervous clasping and unclasping of the fin- gers on her lap.
 Then she asked a single question very quietly:
 What did your grandmother have to say when you walked out to her car with her tonight?" Emmy gave start. "Why, she was talking about-Robb Hollis."
 II thought so," Mrs. Milburn an- swered with that uncanny second- sight that mothers often have where their children are concerned. Well, let me say just this to you, Emmy. | You're far too young to bother | yourself about Robb Hollis or any other young man for while. But when the time does come, don't le, anything count with you but love l The best marriage any girl can make-I don't care who she is - is not money-marriage but love- marriage"
 1 Emmy stared at her in astonish- ment. Why. how did you know she said anything about money to me?' she asked, with a little gasp
 Mrs. NIilburn sprinkled some on. ion salt and red pepper into the salad bowl.

 Are you happy"
