THE "EMERGENCY" TARIFF. Furrrlsinely üttlo attention Is belnsr riven th o-ca.hod cm..Tfenry tariff hill recently signed by the resident. Probably this 15 du m part to the InabiMty of tho reoplo to ur.dmand tariffs, and to the rrellns that It ma.lo little difference whether th-y understood this one or not. The renc-ral foellr.ff focms to bo one of resignation, but It may not b ever thus. Wo have it now that th tcxtllo tradf are somewhat d!3turbf d by the new tariff. There Is a duty of 20c a rfund on wool, certain gradea of which cAn be brought into thU country and landed at from 23c to 2Zc a pound. That is a duty of 125 per cent lm?o?ei on wools uf-d largely by milU making rtiot of the rtapl gooOs and men's wear. To be. sure, this nutans the exclusion of tho wool thuw tajfd, and ther is rav dout whether th American wool proper vi ba helped materially. There la n. surplus of wool fftocka in the world that can not "bo aborted In a yenr. It must bo remembered also that tho wool grower ha dependence on the manufacturer for his market. The mmufacturer will have to-ray a duty of 125 rer cent on imported wool or go without lt. Avhlch he will. "hat will happen when JOnland and other countries betfn to find that rly market for goods In this country, as they are likely to do within a hört time? Clearly enough the activities recently noted in foreign wool markets on the part of English ir?lnnr3. indicates that they are lookinir elsewhere for wool than tho United .States, and contemplate consumption cf thL wool, which but for the emergency tariff, would come to u.. We would have, then, competition In manufacturing, taking the place of competition in raw materials, aa the textile trade Kt no protection nsrain't competition on their finished producta under this law. This is only one of the complications evidently not formen by the tariff tinkers. The textile mills are further alarmed over the dy situation create.! by the bill, rs foreign manufacturers will for the most part hav the benefit of a comparatively fretmarket In which to purchase dyen, while Amerimn manufacturers will be nibjoct to tho influences of higher duties and continued government espionage over dye Imports. Crippling tho manufacturers who are the consumers of wool after such manner, will hardly tend to strengthen the market for the woo! grower. It enables us to see a little more clearly what om congressmen and senators meant when criticizing the'meafTjre ns "camouflage thrown up for tho farmer." Indeed, It la beginning to look already thousrh this emergency tariff might create more emergencies than it will overcome. It is certainly a grind frpexdmen of the tariff tinker's art, going far beyond Its Dlngley and Iayne-Aid rich rTedecessors. o THE BUDGET BILL. The budget bill parsed by eonerress will be signed by tho president, become a law folly aa it Is, but it la jt?rhaps a tep In the right direction. It U much the pamo measure a was vetoed a year ago by Ires't Wilson for the very pood reason that it clothed congress with the power to remove an officer appointed by the pnsulont, by concurrent resolution. This Improvement hai been made, however. In tho present bill, the removal 1 made by Jjlnt resolution, which require the riirnature of the president. Whom the president appoints should be rcrno-ablo by him alone. It Id important that the budget bureau whU-h is entirely outside of congre. should bo entirely independent cf it. IUit maybe this can be accomplished later when congress hns found o;:t that Its Inter-meddling will "not work. Arne ndmer.ts to the I.nv may then remove the.s defects, e'h'.t. f among them Ih the abolltior; of the ot!;ce of controller of the treasury, and f-ubsiitution therefor of a controller-general, his term being for 15 years with ineligibility for reappointment. The department over which he j resides is chirC'Vl with the preparation of estimates for submission to congress, and the regulation of expenditure, far as possible. In all department--!. This is all t ry well, but for one thine.

Someone might cry out "revolutlor cr "bobheviki," brand It a.s "red." o ONE STEP TOWARD ARMAMENT SANITY Tho J'nrah rider to the naval appropriations bill, which the yrnato adopted unanimously, "authorizes and rf-quc-sM" the president to call a conference of the leading navy powers tf discuss the question of the limitation of ruval armarnenta. There Feems to be little doubt that the houe will adopt the rider with flight If any modifications. It will then be up to Pres't Harding to act upon the authorization and "request" cr not. as he Fees fit. He will not be bound to act, for under the constitution the president and not congress is charged with the duty and responsibility of initiating all activities of the government which have to do with forelcn relations.

The disillusioned young man In thie instance sail that the girl had broken the engagement and that he had asked for the return of his gift, but that his request was refused. Many disillusioned lovers have had the same experience as this suing suitor, but they did not all take their troubles to court, choosing to charge their account to profit and Iog rather than be called an "Indian giver."

Tili: rJUHJHAM OF UCST MINDS. (Ft. Wayne Journal-Gazette.) Admiral Sims, "the greate-st British admiral in the American navy," has moved to tho support of Ambas:ador George Harvey, amidst the waving of the Union Jack and the singing of "Itule Britannia." The contemptible licksnittle in an address this week told his English friends in London that the British had given the Americans too much credit for the part we played in the war. That is what Harvey, the "American" ambassador to England, said in his Pilgrims' speech. The admiral told his English friends that we wero mere "reserves coming up from the rear," and Harvey said v?e helped a little to end the war which lie seemed to feel bad already been won by the English. The methods in royal sport are well known. Heal hunters round up the game, get it cornered so It cannot t-eoape, and then the kintf teps forward, under tho protection of tho guns of his courtiers, and ends the light. That ls the sort of king we were in the war. Fays Harvey. "That's right," smirklngly sas the "greatest British admiral In the American navy." And so it seems that we played a rather cheap and insignificant part after all. What chummy souls these two Sims and Harvey drinking their cocktails in the American embassy and crooning, "mother England." But the little conversation In the American embassy probably takes on the character of a perfectly friendly dobate aa to just why we entered tho war at all. The admiral insists that we entered to F.ive England and the British empire. Xot so, snaps tho colonel. "We fought because we were afraid not to fight." "Quite true," rejoins the admiral. "We were afraid if we didn't light the Empire would go to pieces." "Tut, tut, William," protests the ambasidor, "we merely went in to eavo our hided." "Ah, well," concludes the ambassador, not wishing to press his point on a guest who had just received the honors of Cambridge, "we can agree that we did not 1'mht for democracy, or against autocracy, er against militarism, or to put an end to wa Wasn't Wilson a silly ass?" "Worse," snaps the admiral, "but the people were aa bad. They talked that kind of twaddle. "Sophomeric stuff," adds the ambassador. And thus with cocktail glasses clinking to "The King," the two ICO per cent Americans, and saviors of American institutions, turn to the discussion cf the grace with which me Lud Doughhead manages Iiis monocle. In New York city, in the presence of the rows of dead who "fought because they were afraid not to riaht," Pres't Harding, laying a wreath on a casket, eaid: "It must not be again. It must not be again. God grant it will not be." And Harvey, In England, tells the world that we shall have nothing whatever to do with any concerted action of the nations of the earth to prevent it from being again. Pres't Harding is not the first man to say "It must not be again." That was said by Woodrow Wilson in the beginning. It was echoed by Hoot and Taft and the millions. It was heard from the platform In the midst of the war. It wis said in flaming letters on the posters calling upon people for more sacrifices. "It must n-t be again," we said. "This is a war on war," we said. But that was so long a,go that some are now Insisting that this is all "latter day stuff." If it is not to be? again. Pres't Harding and hia administration must present a plan of prevention. The league It has been rejected definitely and forever, says Harvey, and the president stands mute. Even the president's mysterious "association of nations" against war has been lightly thrown aside by Harvey, and the president -stands mute. After every war men fiv what the president said

TYPICAL CONVI-niSATIOX. Tho Vacation. Where you going this year, huh? Oh, I don't know. Where are you going? I don't know. T am not going where I went last year, that's a cinch. Me neither. I should say not. Of all the false alarms. "Elegantly furnished looms," says the ad. "Home cooking, fishing and boating," it stays. There was lots of boating if you went out and pulled the boat yourself. The only fish I ever saw was the one that was stuffed and mounted on the wall. "Dancing and music," say3 the ad. There was dancing if you wanted to go out and dance, but who were you going to dance with? I ask you that. Why, wasn't there any nice fellows there? About as many fellows as you see In a girl's seminary. That summer resort looked like tho Eleanor Girl's club. ..Rut tUdn't you have music? Yes, we had music as long as we had nlckeis. They had one of the two original pianos that went Into tho ark with Noah. Well, we had the other one at

our place ami that wasn't all. Well, what else did you have? We had mosquitoes. Not any of jour ordinary garden variety mosquitoes. Theso wero ns large as small hens and they had teeth. And they kept us awake nights climbing up and down the screens. Well, I am not going where I was last summer that's a cir.ch. Me neither, believe me. Summer resort all they had there was summer. They didn't even have that where I went. I would not eure if some fellows would come out occasionally and look the place over. The only ones that came out were wheeled out in chairs or oke they were a bunch of boy scouts. I want to tell you that oven a boy scout would look good around our place. We never seen a soul. Well, I'm not going back there, that's a cinch. Me neither. Where will you go, my dear? Oh. I don't know. Where are you going to go? I don't know tut I am not going back there, that's a cinch.

When I was earning my twelve a week I wearied of single life, So 1 made up my mind that I'd go and seek Some damsel to be my wife. The girls I knew seemed a likely lot. Yet I shuddered with horrid dread For I couldn't be pure that the girl I eot Was the one that I ought to wed. I yearned for an ardor that wouldn't cool. And a weel-lock no years could blight. So I took a course at a well known Fchool That taught you to pick 'em right.
