They made the tariff a local issue because by caliber they are local office holders. The Statesman a few days ago spoke of the contemptible members of the United States Senate frotm the South who voted for high rates on schedules where the products of their states were affected, in the consideration of the protective tariff bill in the upper house of - Congress , And then voted against the whole bill pn the final roll call. The story deserves a little particularzing. By a nearly two to one vote the Fordney-AlcCumber tar iff bill passed the Senate, August 19th. To be exact, the vote was "Yea3 48, "Nays" 25, "Not Voting" 23. Of the 23 who did not vote, on account of absence, or some other cause. 12 would have voted for the bill, if present, and 11 against This would have made the full vote 60 for and 36 against. 0 nly -three Democrats were consistently protectionist throughout, voting for the measure on the final roll call. They were the two Senators from Louisiana, Broussard and Rans dell, and Kendrick of Wyoming, who is up for re-election, r.- Some weeks ago Ashurst of Arizona announced that if, in L2j; his belief, the bill was an honest bill he would vote for it. He -was at thai time splitting the blue empyrean with speeches i Vs ior protection on Jfimo cotton, rne oenate gave tnat com- '-modity ; 7 .cents a pound. .: Ashurst wanted twice that much. He also voted for high protective rates on other commodities, " in the majority of instances for higher protection than the Senate conceded. ..Finally he voted against the bill. He will . now attend to his Arizona campaign and attempt to convince fhia constituents that h was' a high protectionist as far as their interest were concerned,5 but the bilj "was not an honest i bill" and the conscience which snatched at 15 cents a pound ori Pima cotton recoiled from a bill whose general average ' ad valorem on all imports will be about 13 per cent. t 'i ' On all Texas products Sheppard of that state voted for "the highest possible protection," he also outbidding the Senate on those products.

Alii PRESSED UP A prominent society woman HUGHES SPEAKS FOR NEWBERRY A Washington corjerpondent sends the following to The States man: i" . Secretary bf State Hughes has rendered & serrice to the cause of truth in reviewing the cele brated Newberry case in reply to a letter of inquiry from New' Jer sey. No man in the country en joys a higher reputation' for in tellectual honesty and courage in expressing his convictions than Mr. Hughes, and no man in the country has a more intimate knowledge of the Newberry case than be. Mr. Hughes was Mr. Newberry' counsel and. presented the argument before the United States supreme court that resulted in a favorable verdict tor the sen ator. Hence there is no man bet ter qualified to discuss the case or more entitled to the confidence of the people. 'Despite the loatg period of preparation," Mr. Hughes reminds us, "the 1 rigid investigation, the carefnf choosing- of- their ground. the long drawn out trial, the at tempt in every possible way to besmirch and the seal, ( ability and even bitterness of his pursu- eonst ruction of the law that ex posed the senator to conviction, no matter how high-minded he might have been in the conduct of the campaign- "It should be borne in mind," says llr. Hughes, "that Senator Newberry's convic tion in the lower court was not based on any charge of fraud or corruption or of the use of money for any illegal purposes or of any act involving moral turpitude." It is apparent that in several ptates Democratic candidates are roing to use the Newerry case in an attempt to bermirch the record of senators coming up for re election who voted in favor of Senator Newberry. The truth will never hurt Mr. Newberry or any of those who rallied to his sup port, and It is only on the wicked erversion of the trucn that the hopes of his adversaries rest In every state where the Newberry case is to be made an issue this Tall it Is the duty of the voters to inform themselves as to the facta so they can assign a proper value to the reckless statements that Democratic orators are likely to raaSre. regardless of its effect on the so cial und civic life of the nation.

He was partly Spanish a tall, sallow, thin boy with dark, brood ing eyes and a flashing temper. He . didn't make friends easily, though people who got to know him always, liked him. He lived in the big iron-fenced Morton place. His mother, a queer-ooklng, pale little lady who was seldom seen, was a Morton. When the old colonel had died, she and her son had come back from some foreign place to live there. Carlo, "the count," never in vited anyone to play in the Mor ton yard. They wouldn't have wanted to, anyway; it was so dark and gloomy. Sometimes he played with the '.other fellows in the neighborhood or even went over to their houses, though he never offered to return the fav or. Gradually the boys began' to dislike the count. They resented hVa nice looking clothes and his well-bred. air. "Just because he's one k of those, rich Mortons : is no reason why he should be so stuck The trend toward higher wages is inexorable. Recent researches in England have developed that over a period of 750 years the wages in British building trades have advanced at least 20 per cent during every 50 years. t At times the Increase has been as much as Ad Per cent. During every war I in this period wages increased more than 40 per cent. There were reactions, but In no case did the reaction carry the wages below the point where the 20 to 40 per cent average Increase for a 50-year period was disturbed. The wage increase' during the great war reached 320 per cent. That, of course, cold not be ex pected to continue. But our own bureau of labor statistics has found that over a long period of years the wage increase in the building trades in America today vrere bound to be 18 per cent higher than they were in 1913. Thqq increases denote an im provement in the standard of liv fng regardless of costs and prices. Higher cost of living may necessi tate adjustments upward, but never below the average increase in the standard. History seems to establish this law ot continued increase. The acceptance of this law by our em ployers would do much to elimin ate our industrial unrest, bnt rather, and fully as important, its acceptance would tend to stabilize and stimulate our whole business structure. For our workers are the great buying public. Tnere are forty one and a half million persons gainfully employed In the United States. Of these,, 24,800,000 are the actual wage earners, skilled and semi-skilled workers, labor ers and servants. If to these you add those engaged in clerical and kindred work, you have practical ly thirty and a half million, or 73 per cent of all those gainfully employed who are on a wage or salary basis. Their income lies in the pay envelope. They and their dependents make up the great buying body of the Ameri can ; public. Their money makes Dr. Donahue Goes to Salem Dr. J. A.
