WASHINGTON, March THE

influences with which Americas

PEELED to contend, as recently COM
planned by witnesses before con-

representatives.
Twin trousers, the wooden goods
manufacturers representatives ex-
planned, undoubtedly do extend the
life span of a suit of clothes.
True, it takes more wool to make
two pairs than it takes to make one.
but in the long run the wearer has
to have two pairs anyway; by get
ting them both at once, to match
the same coat and vest, he is tempt
ed to make the coat and vest last
longer than he otherwise would
and, tempted, frequently he falls.
The textile folk did not ask pro-
hibition of two-trouser suits. They
admitted 1t would be hard to pre-
vent the bootlegging Of extra pairs.
They did strongly urge q higher
tariff on wooden goods.
The idea is not to keep the two
trouser addict from satisfying his
craving, but to make his two pairs
Of trousers cost him enough more,
in proportion, to offset the saving
on his coat and vest.
Thus it will be see that a ses-

TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
Foreign Advertising Representatives
Secret Tariff Making

The republican members of the ways and means
committee of the national house of representatives
have served notice that the old secret method for
consideration OF proposed changes in the tariff rates
will be adhered to in the formulation Of the next
tariff bill.
At a meeting of the ways and means committee
Friday notice was served by the republican members
that the democratic members would be excluded from
the executive deliberations of the subcommittee
considering various tariff schedules.
The agricultural interests Of the country will re
ceivc this decision with considerable apprehension as
to what it signifies for the farming industry. 1t 5
a well know fact that the ma ority Of republican
members OF the committee are ardent advocates Of
high protection for all other industries but inclined
to be lukewarm toward agriculture; whereas the DEM
ocratic members are equally determined III their po-
sition with respect to equalizing tariff benefits, as
surfing agriculture the same advantages as other IN
duStries.
throughout the Northwest republican leaders dur
ing the recent campaign attacked the practice OF
~star chamber" sessions in connection with tariff re-
vision. They asserted that every interest OF the
country demanded that all hearings and delloera-
tons be open to the public; that the farm interests
have the same opportunity to be heard as others
Several republican candidates for congress made TINS
an issue in their campaigns, and received the sup
port of the farmers.
1t is true that the deliberations of committees can
not always be made public; that occasionally such
publicity would be in opposition to public policy; but
that certainly cannot apply to committee hearings or
deliberations on tariff rates. If there is any one thlng
In connection with the national government thaI
should be open to the public it is in the making OF a
tariff, and so long as publicity rs refused and minority
members excluded, the tariff will continue to a mere
tumble Of inequalities designed to benefit the lew
and a burden upon the masses.
It is certain that the agricultural interests have
nothing to conceal in connection with tariff revision
and no other interest asking for protection should
have. If they have a worthy cause, there should De
M hesitancy in apprising the public of the fact; II
it IS not worthy the committee should apply the coup
de grace in open session.

The World and All

By Charles 2. Driscoll

I've never met Charles J. Finger, but he recently
dedicated to me an issue of his excellent magazine,
AIS Well. So, of course. / think very highly of that
magazine. But I call upon all my friends and read
es to witness that I always did think and speak well
of Ais Well, which is a high grade magazine, pub
lished in Fayetteville, Ark.
This idea of dedicating each number of the mag
azine, as one dedicates a book, seems quite a work
able one to me. The bigger magazines might take it
on in a big way, and much to their profit.
1t seems to me that it would be rather a clever
idea, for instance, for a geat magazine, such as the
Atlantic Monthly, to be dedicated this month to
Chales Lindbergh. or to the young woman who is to
be MRS. Lindbergh soon. The dedication might be
printed on the cove, with a paragraph or two Of ap-
propriate remarks.
The thing might be carried even further. About
two Or three times a year a big magazine might dedi-
cate an issue to a very extavagant advertiser, thus
making a tremendous hit with him.
Well, l was a newspaper editor once, and I'm sur
prised that it never occurred to me to dedicate each
days paper to some citizen of the town.
I pass on the idea now to the publishers and edi-
tors, whit due acknowledgment to Squire Finger. I
think it would be a fine idea to print the dedication
on one OF the ears" of the first page of the paper
each day. Today's paper might be dedicated to some
public official who has done his duty we'll, and to-
morrows to some local woman whose daughter is
Doing well as school. thanks largely to the untlrlng
labors and faith of the mother. Most Of the dedica-
tons should be to local persons, but once in a while
the paper might reach out and dedicate a days issue
to some national hero or worthy person in our own
country or abroad.
What's the matter with the idea?

THAT A r SPINSTER
est. Louis Post Dispatch).

1t is evident that Miss Wilhelmina Robinson Of
Boston. England, who has just celebrated her Tooth
birthday, is out Of touch with the times. Otherwise,
she would not have confessed her detestation of men
or been so bold as to attribute her "long and happy
life to the fact that I was never fooli7h enough to
marry one" That speech will bring down upon the
little old lady the judgment of the psychanalysts.
They will peer into her subconscious mind and con-
cludes that her detestation of men is really a defense
mechanism and that she hates men because she has
never been able to catch one. They will confirm
their findings by pointing out that, even at the age
of 100, Miss Robinson eveals an attitude Of mind
which springs from a life of illustration and repres-
sion. And before they are through with the dear old
thing, who wears a frilly cap and lives contentedly
with two -~pussycats, they will prove that at bottom
she is not a happy spinster at all, but a veritable
