' there ever fbeen laid before me an appeal
tending: to show that a majority ot the
women inl this state desire to (o to

Inside of jefx months some states will
open the door and women will enter the

convinced t would be the part of wisdom
and grace; for North Carolina to accept
the inveltabie . and ratify the amend

Sheriffs of Oregon, who are to hold
their jannual convention here just -prior

"Instead of Russian occupation, the

One of the questions -wirelessed to

soviet could not . stop the advance of
the Russian srmy on Warsaw, even if
it desired. M. Tchitcherln thus answered
the query : - '
"Tour supposition aJxut the Russian
generals superseding the soviet is truly
absurd. Neither : General Brusiloff nor
General Kuropatkln , controls the Rus

"The commander-in-chief of the soviet
army is General Kameneff. His chief

"The supreme military control is in
the hands of a revolutionary military

"Until a general agreement is reached

HARDING FAVORS!
HIGH TARIFF RATE
( Ooti tinned From Pus Oaa)
iff wasn't used as a means of keeping
price levels high. .
The senator simply made a blanket
utterance giving the principle of a pro
tective tariff and declined at this time
to give any further specifications.
Of course, in the midst j ot a cam
paign, it Would be unwise j to mention
specifically the industries that would be
protected, for- that would open up a
ject that would be as tangled- and as
perplexing as the writing of a new tarirf
law itself.. . i.c ::-.,', .-.i .-- ..;,
But the principle of a protective tar
iff Harding has 'no hesiteacy in pro-
iilfttinlnp. Th - t)nuirM i Ihamolv'.a
have recognised that principle in urging
a tariff on dye stuffs to protect -our in
fant industry started during the Euro
pean - wer-r-from the influx I of German
products. - The Democrats, however,
have not committed themselves to any
general tariff policy as yet. i -
The politics of Senator Harding's as
sertion of his belief in a protective tar
iff is significant.: The Republican man
agers promised In 1918 that! they would
revise the tariff as soon as possible and
there were some Republican business
men who thought that should have
happened at-the last Session of congress,-
in which both houses were con
trolled : by the Republicans!. But the
leaders in conerresa thought otherwise.
' They really feared it would be use
less to attempt any revision of the tariff
with world trade conditions changing
from day to day with-developments in
Kurope. ' --rV "
To the high tariff, the Republicans
also pointed out the uselesshess of tar
iff 4 revision from another jvlew point,
namely, the certainty that a Democratic
executive would veto any tariff changes
a Republican congress might send to
the White House. . :
Now, however, with the prospect of a
Republican administration in all branch
es of the government, the Republican
candidate for the presidency is oppor
tunely reiterating his faith in a pro
tective tarirr. ah me oostacies tnai
lie in i that course have been fully dis
counted and It is realised jthat all the
desires of those captains iof industry
who want a high tariff for their. own
advantage cannot be granted, and that
there is some danger of exciting hopes
which can never be satisfied. So the
discussion will ' for .the present be con
fined to the principle of a protective
tariff, which Senator Harding deems a
fitting campaign policy to his theory of
America first in all international rela
tione. : j .
