WHAT THE PEOPLE THINK OF THE TARIFF Fubiic apathy toward the pending tariff bill has long since disappear ed, and there is now wide popular feeling cn the subject. However, there is no practicable way of polling the citizenry and learning just what irection sentiment has turned. The eople's elected representatives have so involved themselves in a snarl of log-rolling, trading and back-scratch- ng that the halls of Congress are the last place where a searcher for facts would go to learn what the public thinks of the bill. This leaves the daily press as the outstanding means of pub expression. Three sepa- ate inquiries into the nation's opin ion of the bill have canvassed the press, with a uniform showing that the measure is highly in disfavor. The first of these polls was con ducted by the New York Telegram, and pointed extracts from the an swers it received recently were print ed on this page. The Telegram re ceived 93 replies, of which 74 oppos ed the bill, 16 favored it and three were noncommittal. The 16 expres sions favoring the bill were notable for their lack of enthusiasm. Their consensus was that, although a bad measure, it was tne Dest mat couiu .i . a i l ,i be expected just now. The Nation received 306 replies from its tariff questionnaire, ine country-wide trend it recorded was opposition to the scheme. Even pro tectionist New England went 2 to 1 against the bill. Economic injury at heme was predicted by 205 editors, while 74 expected benefits. The view of the world result was even more unfavorable: 224 foresaw impair nient of international feeling, while only 2S found any sunshine in that ky. To the President these editors addressed an impressive message, for 192 advocated a veto and only 83 rmiirt make enousrh allowances to favor enactment. Tho larcest svmoosium of the thrpo was gathered by the rsortn American Review, whicn ootainea pnininTis from 345 newspapers. Of these, 75 per cent were against the bill. The sugar schedule was singiea out for the major share of opposi tion, with the rates on wool, lum ber, cement, hides and leather not far behind. The bill's primary pur nnsp. limited revision to help the farmer, has failed, 210 editors said. Furthermore the best interests of the peopla as a whole are slighted, in the opinion of 240 respondents, against 86 optimistic answers. New England SI per cent against the bill, the Middle West 67 per cent, the South 88 per cent. Thus is recorded the voice of the people against the Hawley-Smoot tar iff monstrosity. Cutting across party lines, sectionalisms and industrial alignments, these three polls repre sent a popular rebellion and a solemn ,-arning. The people's opinion should not go unheeded by the custodian of trip veto cen.

Rut would it not be more rational to deodorize politics? A rose by any name, smells the same. So does a well known member of the weasel family, whether called Muste lida mephitica or just a skunk. So also with politics. Well inten tioned citizens cannot purify politics merely by calling it something else any more than they can reform Devil's lane by calling it Upright avenue or make the skunk unobjec tionable by calling it a kitty. Indeed, well intentioned men and women can purify politics by only one method, continuing and continu ous participation, as voters, in poli una Thpv have tried just about it-u - every other means ever suggested and uniformly they have failed. Th direct primary was going to purify politics. So were corrupt practices acts, anti pass laws, civil service re form, woman suffrage, and a lot of other experiments. None of them did mirifv politics. We had abler public servants before these various purifica tions than we have had since. W had fewer scandals. Money counts for more in politics today than ever it did before. whpn rpnntable citizens, all of them, not only vote in primaries and regular elections, but make it a point to know whom they are voting for; when reputable citizens take as much interest in the character of the pub lic servants they hire as in the char acter of their private employes, then there will be need to change the name of politics to some less odorifer ous term. :o: So live that it never will be a case of raising a $100,000 bond or go Lto jail. USTICE BUTLER CALLS A HALT In his speech at the dedication of the new courthouse, Justice Butler put up a stop sign in the path of the zealous reformers who would break own the safeguards thrown around persons accused of crime in order to speed up criminal trials. He believes the guarantees of the rights of citi zens imbedded in our laws, particul- rly in the Bill of Rights, should be kept inviolate, and he does not think it necessary to the processes of jus tice to destroy or impair them. Dis cussing the administration of justice, he said: It is sometimes said that the safeguards established for the protection of persons accused of crime are not necessary for their protection, impose upon the prosecution intolerable burdens and make it easy for the guilty to escape conviction. Complaint is made against the force given to the presumption of innocence, the rule requiring proof beyond a reasonable doubt, the right of silence, the protection from un reasonable searches and compul sory self - incrimination, and against other safeguards of lib erty that have long been imbed ded in our law. Judges are with out power to modify them. Few who have had substantial exper ience in the trial of criminal cases would impair any of them. If adequate forces for detection of crime and apprehension of criminals faithfully support com petent prosecuting attorneys in trials before intelligent and un biased juries rightly guided by the presiding Judge, miscar riages of justice will be few. Our bills of rights do not stand in the way of justice. They give assurance that the blessings of liberty are to continue. These safeguards are the fruit of long and bitter experience of justice loving peoples under despotic rulers who were hostile or indifferent to the rights and interests of the com mon people. They were won by hard struggles against intrenched power. It was this historical background of arbitrary procedure, injustice and op pression which induced the founders of the Republic to embody them in our Constitution and laws for the protection of citizens against govern mental power exercised by executives legislatures and courts They are bars erected against arbitrary procedure by any branch of government. All the ills resulting from congest ed courts and inefficient prosecution of criminals cannot compare with the evils and oppressions that would flow from the destruction of the con stitutional safeguards against oppres sion and injustice. When, therefore overzealous reformers cry for the abolition or impairment of the right of trial by jury, for the torture cham ber to force confession and for rail roading the trials of accused persons regardless of rights, a3 a means of combating crime or law breaking of any kind, they are blindly seeking to cure one evil with a greater which would undermine the foundations of justice and liberty. It is reassuring in the clamor of voices ursine the breaking down of constitutional safeguards for the pur pose of clearing court dockets under emergency conditions, to hear a voice from the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States, the guardian of thp Constitution, calline a halt to reckless legislation. It indicates that the highest court in the land will stand firmly for constitutional rights St. Louis Post-Dispatch. :o: WARNING! They don't propose to waste their lives On women who turn into wives. Finding it sweeter far, instead, To look on wine when it is red In sundry hostels known as "dives." To strive as the mere worker strives; To imitate the bees in hives; To earn their butter and their bread They don't propose. So even when a girl survives Their fleeting interest and ar rives At that point whence they might be led Before an altar to be wed. In spite of all that she contrives, They don't propose. Myra M.

The project has attracted attention because it is the largest single con struction job ever undertaken by the United States Army, exclusive of the building of the Panama Canal, and because it furnishes a "West Point of the Air" to vie with the old estab lished Naval Academy at Annapolis and Military Academy at West Point On the other hand, attention has not been attracted to the credit due San Antonians, who, after the plans of Brigadier-General F. P. Lahm had been approved by the War Depart ment but rejected by Congress be cause no provision had been made for a site, immediately obtained and of fered a ISO-acre 6ite to the Army be fore opportunity had ceased knock ing at the door. When completed. Randolph Field will be a city itself, with a population of nearly 6000, considerably more than half of whom will be military personnel. San An tonio proves that its 57.7 per cent increase shown by the last census has been no accident. :o: MR. DAWES' DISCOVERY Ambassador Dawes has ma.de great discovery. It is that the tall starched V-shaped monstrosity of a collar he has been wearing is uncom fortable. He has substituted for it a wing collar which he finds is much less wearing on the ambassadorial neck. We wonder how long it will be before Mr. Dawes makes the fur ther discovery that both the V-shaped collar and the wing collar are as passe in men's dress as the hoopskiit and bustle are in women's, that some thing like 50.000.000 men in the United States have discarded both for the soft collar attached to the shirt :o: Ambassador Dawes laid aside his pipe long enough the other day to scold American rich social climbers and pay his deepest respects to Am erican war mothers It must be dis gusting to a red-blooded American on the other side to see some of our rich snobs groveling at the feet of royalty. :o: It seems always to have been the cause of nearly all the world's trou bles and we can't help but wonder just what life would have been like if there had been no such a fermen tation.
