THE TRUE AMERICAN POLICY. Chairman John T. Adams of the Republican National committee has, truly remarked that there never was a protective tariff which the opposition did no characterize a "robber tariff." He also truly says that "There never was a protective tariff that closed a factory or threw a man out of a job." Our Democractic friends are always howling a "robber tariff," but the only person who is robbed, if any, is the importer of foreign goods who is accustomed to make immense gains the amount which he should pay in import duties. The Republicans have never enacted a prohibitive tariff, and so long' as the tariff is not prohibitive, it cannot be a robber tariff. But the more important statement by Mr. Adams is the one last quoted above. Our Democratic opponents cannot point to an incident when a Republican tariff ever closed a factory or threw an American workman out of a job. We can point to numerous instances in which a Democratic tariff threw hundreds of thousands of workmen out of jobs. It is clearly inevitable that for every dollar's worth of goods we import, if they could be produced here, we deprive the American producer of dedollar's worth of business. There can be no question whatever about that. Protection is he rue American policy.

CHILD LABOR DECREASES Despite the failure of congress to enact a constitutional law forbidding child labor census reports show that there vas a marked decrease in the employment of children 10 to 15 years of age engaged in gainful occupations in the decade from 1910 to 1920. What was sought to be accomplished by law and proved futile appears to be working out of itself. The decrease was quite large in agriculture, forestry, animal industry, in the extraction of minerals and in domestic and personal service. .There were increases in public service and in clerical occupations: These figures may indicate that increased earnings on the part of adults have relaxed the need for children's earnings in many families. The movement may not have gone so far as is

desirable but is in the right direction. Not many parents possessed of normal instincts wish their children to be stunted by too early resort to labor, but in some instances it is the choice of two evils. The law touching on child labor is needed for those unaffected by natural feelings of a parent and see in the child only its earning power, little though that be. There may be evil in no employment tor a child of 10 to IS years of age, too . Nothing to do may not be as bad as too much labor, but there is a mean that does no harm but good. Though the child may not need the earnings, that age is the time when habits of industry and thrift should be inculcated. The boy or girl who in addition to schooling has some task to perform and Is held responsible for it will be the better for it. Setting children at steady work at too early an age is wrong, but letting them grow up to maturity in idleness is not the proper alternative.

BOOLSHEVIK DOCTRINE. Since Mr. Gompers thinks the railroads and mines should be operated for service and not for profit, we presume he would apply the same rule to farmers, cattle men, and manufacturers. Now, how many agree with Gompers? All bolshevists raise their hands.

AMERICANS, HOME BUILDERS. Home building and construction in general for the first six month of 122 has eclipsed all previous records. The Keystone State has 2,200,000 families, according to the last census, and 1,700,000 are home owners, outranking all other states, with Ohio second. This has been brought about without the semblance of a building boom. No better evidence of thrift is needed. The man who builds himself a home is found in the ranks of good citizens. His thrift and energy supply others with the things which make life worth living. According to the figures of one of the statistical bureaus, during the last six months the total amount of work let for residential construction in this country was $682,663,000, an increase of 8 per cent over last year, $228,932,000 for public works and utilities, 19 per cent increase; $280,329,000 for business buildings, 94 per cent increase; $164,641,000 for educational buildings, 58 per cent increase; and J123,181,000 for industrial ;.nts, an increase of 42 per cent. America is fast becoming a nation of home owners.

A TOUGH BlttD "Divorce," says an arlent reformer, "Is going to ruin this land." , Perhaps he ia right, but there's one thing That we do not quite understand. This country's entirely mined t. About seven times every year By this thing or that or the other. We wonder that it is still here. It has been completely disrupted By dancing, by knicVors and such. By poker, horse racing: and baseball. And by women smoking too much. As far back as we can remember The country has matched to its doom, Incurable ills have beset it And pointed the way to its tomb. The warnings have always been urgent. But still the old flag is not furled. It seems the American eagle Is the toughest old bird in the world. -. Mr. F. Scott Fitzgerald, the eminent authority on flapperism, says in a magazine article on "How I Feel at Twenty-five that he dislikes old people. He probably will feel differently at seventy-five. People who do some real uplifting are going to meet in New York the last week in October. It will be the annual convention of the elevator men. THE PEOPLE The people are a mighty force When once , they get together, But when they meet, invariably, They talk about the weather. The people get their dander up. Their wrath they cannot smother, Demand a change, and get it, And then demand another. The people are important and The politicians love 'e.n They never get just what they want, For there's so many of 'em. Explorers in New Guinea report finding a tree-ohmo kangaroo and a pig that looks like an elephant. Perhaps the time for worldwide prohibition has arrived. I
