Hill, the railroad king who in addressing a meeting of newspaper men in New York City said in part: “No one accustomed to reading the signs of the times can fail to see that a determined effort will be made to give the tariff the leading place In the next national campaign. "An effort will be made to secure a general revision upward by a number cf political leaders who adhere to the belief that "there is one more president in the tariff.’ “Those who expect to benefit by the revision upward will promote movement and upon the attitude of the newspapers which are now being felt cut throughout the country, will depend the fate of the move. “That tiie country can live and thrive under the existing tariff is clear to all. “A reopening of the tariff question with a view to restoring practices that brought a hope for increase of prices end a promise of increase in wages. Put the public does not want higher Prices and increase in wages turns to the injury of labor when it passes the feint where it can be sustained by general industrial conditions. "Under the stimulus of many years cf tariff subsidy the manufacturing in tercets of this country have been built up to a point where the home demand cannot absorb more than two-thirds the product. Whether this is a good or a bad thing does not matter new. It is a fact, and what it to be done w’th the extra one-third’ “Either we must curtail production one-third or find customers for the surplus one-third. The first cause will have few advocates and if we are to

1 self the extra one-third it can only be , dine by enlarging the market through reduced prlc.ee. It would be folly to stimulate (with Increased tariff) an 1 bicrease of surplus production. "It is time to get out of the fool’s paradise of believing that wealth and prosperity are created by legislation. The general reconstruction of the tar I iff, whether for bad or worse means 1 al least two years of doubt, hesitation | ard bad business. Agitation for i wholesale tariff overturning must be ’ lad for everybody and for labor w< ret 1 of all. ■ “The reason for expressing those views here is that if the newspaper of 1 the country could make it plain that they will disapprove such o mo,ven nt, which can only have a political motive and only injurio- r i -dustrial consequences, the atti . r’ll not be i Teddy Roosevelt has been on the witness stand at Syracuse for sc on i days, telling what he knows.

Hundreds of democratic lenders from over the state joined the i crowd and the speech of the secretary t of commerce was a sound and able | s address in which he told the truth . about conditions in this country. He r pointed with pride to the currency j law, the tariff, the manner in which l ? tl.e administration has handled the war conditions, the immense increase in exports, the splendid outlook in a s business way and he was cheere’. to ti e echo. It was a wonderful m ett Ing filled with the enthusiasm that 1 will win next year. s — -- - - ■ 1 £♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦*♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦« »• : DOINGS IN SOCIETY ft Ai.AAAAAAAAA A AAA AAAAAAA-KA. > T▼▼V fVV•VVVVVV V 1 WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR.

I found 1 was watching the antics of the man with the violin cello. He'd sit for a while and never make a sound. It struck me as queer/that a man coul 1 be wiling to spend a lifetime learning to play a thing like that, spend an afternoon to come in, just once in a while! Just tTfew notes and ay! I suppose you'll laugh at me, for we get out lessons different ways. 1 got mine from that, ’cello player. It came to me then, the apex philosophy. I got a view at the scheme of things. Man’s incompleteness, the brotherhood of man, our broken segments, making up the whole; I remember when I left I was trying to whistle a theme from that great Pathetique. 1 neveff shall forget that afternoon. I think of I ’cello player, think of my life that way. We are all playing in the symphony, some of us carry tho tune a little further, some of tn, like the ’cello player, content to fill out the harmonies. Edna Aiken, In The River.
