His devotion to the theory of free trade un diminished after eight years in office, Mr. Wilson vetoed the Fordney tariff bill, and supports his action by a reiteration of views he has expressed ou many previous occasions. His constancy in this respect is but characteristic; in his famous "fourteen points" he aroused the apprehension of a considerable portion of the country by enunciating the doctrine of unrestricted free trade, although it was thinly veiled in language somewhat ambiguous. At many other times -he has expressed opinions amounting almost to con viction that the American market should be open .'. without restriction to the commerce of the world. In vetoing the Fordney bill, admittedly a " measure designed to afford relief to the agri cultural Industry of the country, by meeting a situation thought to be temporary, the lae pres ident indulges in sonic hortative comment con- i t, i:..- .v.. t i.i ....:i f .... tilling itic pvuv. mai aiiuuiu ytcvau iui uic? ; future, saying among other things: i it we wish to nave luirope settle her debts, government or commercial, we must be pre pared to buy from her, and if we wish to assist Kurope and ourselves, either by the export of food, of Taw materials or finished products, we ' must be prepared to welcome commodities which we ntfed and which Europe will be pre- : pared, with no little pain, to send us. The entire theorypf free trade, with all its fallacies, is contained in that sentence. To help i Europe pay its debts we must open our mar kets to its products, regardless of the fact that f every article of European make sold in America will displace the sale and use of a home-made ar ticle. While this is the richest market in the world, it has been made so by the development 5 of the consumptive power of our people, fostered 1 and sustained by a policy that has set up a standard of living so far above that of the old world that there is no comparison. Protection afforded the home market has produced this te- suit; if the barrier pf the tariff is to be removed, and we are to open ht way to the importation of whatever surplus European manufactures can. ' 'turn out for export.one of two things must i,... i?:i,.. .... ...:n 1... ; tories,, or we must seek a market outside cur I own country, and in either instance our selling ' price must come down to that of the fore'gn market, and this will bring down wages and sq lower the standard of living, eventually to the European level. '-' Free trade is very attractive in theory, but costly in practice. Germany, and France weret f and are high protective tariff countries; Great j Britain is moving rapidly to the same stand; Fortunately for the United States, Mr. Harding is a firm believer in the doctrine of protection r . .... . .... ior nome, industries, ana we may expect trial : whatever assistance he gives to Europe, it Vill . m. - . . ..I.; . .

Unpopularity of Shoddy. ine interest mat ciotniers are taking in tne -' campaign against shoddy indicates a praisewor thy desire to be of service to their customers. During the war some one in temporary author ity told us that shoddy was as good as wool, but anyone whose suit has worn out in half the usual time has found out this is not true.

Through the co-operation of reputable business houses dealing in clothing, this result can be brought about, with or without any legislation.' of Commerce Hoover, 46, and Secretary of Labor Davis, 45. . These mm are all old enough to haye had wide experience, ypt it can not be said that 'Air. Hoover, at 46 years of age, is at any disad vantage when compared with his associates who are in the 50s or .60s. Age in itself is neither a recommendation nor a drawback, and no more is comparative youth, j Whereas the average-age of the new cabinet members is over 54 years, that of the first Amer ican cabinet was well under 40. George Wash ington, who appointed it. became president at 57, which, is two years older than is Mr. Har ding. But Hamilton became secretary of the treasury at 32, less than half the age of Mr. Mellon, who now holds that office. Jefferson became secretary of state at 46, 12 years younger than Hughes. General Knox was 39, Randolph 36 and Osgood 41. - No, it can not-be upheld that our century is that .of the young man. '.With all our education and intensive training, the young men, it jfppears, have failed, to hold their own. f ' An Inspiration and a Dedication. The, reader of the inaugural address of War ren Gamaliel- Harding can not fail to note the sincerity that marks itsKcvcry ientcice.' Our new president is not a phrase-maker; perhaps lie has 'disappointed some in, not enunciating an epigram that might go thundering down the cor ridors of time. He has, however, in simple words and with a total absence of oratorical or rhetori cal flourish set forth liis conception of the needs of his laud, his notion of its relation to the rst of the wgrld, its duty to its own people as well as to those outside its borders, and his unswerv ing devotion o those principles he believes to be right. ' - , v. In thus1 dedicating himself anew to the per formance of a great task to which he is called, he will inspire the people of the nation by his plain'statement of policies and aspirations. For the world at large his plans are thus expresssd: Our eyes will never be blinded to a de veloping menace, our ears never deaf to the call of civilization. - We recognize the new order in the world, with the close contacts which progress has wrought. We sense the feeling of the human heart for fellowship, fra ternity and co-operation. We crave friendship and harbor no hate. But America, our Amer ica, the America builded on the foundation laid by the inspired fathers, catV be a party to :io permanent military alliance. , h can enter into no political commitments nor assume any economic obligations or subject our decisions to any other than our own authority. While thus disposing of the League of Na tions as at present framed, the address pledges this country to a qijurse by which nations will take counsel together for the good of all, for. the establishment of justice through an interna tional court, where Jiecisions will rest on right and not on expediency, and from which should, come such understanding as will preserve tran quil harmony and lead to eventual disarmament. Home problems We carefully considered, aad thie definite purpose of the president is fore shadowed in these short sentences: I wish for an 'America no ' less alert in. guarding against dangers from within than it is watchful against enemies from without. Our fundamental law recognizes uo class, no group, no section. There must be none m leg islation or administration. The supreme in spiration is for the cpmmon weal. Fledged to the square deal for all, animated by human sympathy, and with, complete under standing of the problems of .'the plain people, Mr. Harding' will surely striyk to carry out the promise herein implied. He expresses a de termination to devote himself and all his ener gies to the taslc of ' restoring the country to healthy prosperity. A business administration, rigid economy, protection of home industries, maintenance of American standards, and con stant effort to promote the welfare of all citi zens, is the program he has outlined, with the message from Micah for his text: "What doih the Lord require of thee, but to do justly and to love mercy, and walk humbly with" thy God." Roosevelt loved that passage, and Harding has done well to pledge his service on it. The Young Men Wait. Old men for counsel and young meu for war," is a maxim often quoted, and revived of late to rebuke those complaining that the present troubles of the world fat due to the fact that a - young "men's war wis ended by an old men's - peace. The new generation is sometimes im 'patient of awaiting its turn- in the handling of affairs, and likes to think that its pushing tactics have made or are making this' the era of the : youngxtiian. Some one with a mind for statistics has dis covered that the average age of the members' j of President" Harding's cabinet is a year less than ' that of President Wilson's. The average bf the , newcomers is Soft years, and that of their prede . cessors is 55.5. Andrew William Mellon, secre- tary oi me treasury, is inc uiucsl iucuiuci, icwg e!, and Postmaster General Will M. Hays is ) the youngest, 41. Secretary of State Hughes is 58, Secretary of War Weeks is 60, Attorncj a General Daugherty, 61; Secretary of the Navy ' Denby, 5; Secretary of the Interior Fall, 59; Secretary!" of Agriculture Wallace, 54; Secretary j Mr. Burleson's Valedictory. No postmaster general of the. United States ever laid down the job with a record to compare to that of Albert Sidney Burleson, who has just stepped out of office after a service of eight years, which brought satisfaction only to him self. We have no desire to depreciate whatever he contributed -to progress in extension of the parcels post or the establishment of the air mail, but the good in these is more than offset by the reduction in efficiency accomplished in other ways under trie Burleson regime, and which have made the mail service of the country very much of a joke. In passing from, office, Mr. Burleson takes his leave of the prss of the country by ascribirrg to its responsibility for the crimes that have shocked him. He couples with the press as blameworthy in a Wsser degree the lawmaking bodies of the country and th,e judges. The one passes too many laws that lack popular sup port (presumably this has reference to prohibi tion); the other looks too leniently upon of fenders when apprehended, and lets them off too lightly. But the newspapers the great propa gator of crime, fostering ana encouraging mis doers, and inciting tb violence h rough publica tion of the details of crimes committed, of pur suit of culprits and of punishment meted out to them,. " We are glad that Mr. Burleson got this off his chest; he must have suffered beyond endur ance had he gone into the obscurity that awaits him unrelieved of the feelings he has given vent to. He may have the consolation, however, that he did his durndest while in office to minimize the evil influence of the press, by making it as difficult as possible for the publisher to reach his subscribers through the mails. That ought to comfort him, while the newspaper fraternity will look forward with some equanimity to the ministrations of WiirH. Hays, realizing that whatever lis does, it; can not be worse than Burleson. . !

While I realize it is the height of presumption to think I could im prove on Wordsworth, don't you agree with me that rapture is more expressive than pleasure? ( JAY AYE.

Miss Theresa M.

Mr. Betts has moved inon the Lige house. 4 "WHY," asks Leonard Liebling, "docs the drawing-room pianist always play longer selec tions than the drawing-room violinist or singer?"

My brother perceived (continued the fair Saidee) that the unfortunate lady had turned the photograph over and read a succinct account of. the known exploits of Mr. George Harrington Wi'd. the which must have extinguished the fire in her bosom. He assisted her to a chair, and calling for water bathed, her forehead and wrists until she reopened her eyes and fixed them mournfully and reproachfully upon him. Mr. Weatherwax having at that moment come in, in response to a telephoned" message, my brother confided the patient to his care, and then draw ing the police captain beyond their hearing, ho related the singular story of the enamoured lady,, but made no reference to the part played in it by the pink shirt. She is perfectly unknown to me, said Valentine, 'fcnd I Jtrust will continue so, fir I am convinced that she is bereft of her wits. Mv sole Interest in her adventure is this: at the time her Peter Pan departed her company he was wearing a remarkable fine shirt dyed Jn yak blood red, of which he had deprived my friend here, Mr. Weatherwax, on the night of December the 26th. I was not the victim of his outlawry, but the shirt is my property, and I am exceed ingly keen to recover it. . If I had the. power I should move heaven -and earth to retrieve it, and I solicit, sir, your interest, in the matter. At this juncture Mr. Weatherwax rejoined my brother, and being, shown the photograph of the housebreaker was ableto identify the scoundrel without swooning. The police captain readily promised his aid. 'We shall get word of the fellow in a lew days,' said he, as we know hia haunts, although at present he is not wanted for any other job than the theft of this shirt. He will no doubt be wearing it, since it appears to have caught his fancy. ' You will observe that the record mentions him as a careful dresser.' 'I am under great obligation to you, declared Vincent, and returned to the lady, whom he. found recovered from her fainting spell and de sirous to depart. My brother and Mr. Weather wax accompanied her to A cab, and made her the most courteous of farewells, beseeching her to Command them if they could be of further service. As the cab bore her away a police wagon drew up at the curb, and from it de scended a pair of detectives with a prisoner be tween them. Mr. Weatherwax and my brother gave simultaneously a cry of surprise, and as heedless of grammar as the people of Rheims they cried out. 'That's him!' The prisoner was indeed George Barrington Wftd, and Valentine returned into the police station to acquaint the captain with the fortunate turn of affairs.

Assuming that we have agreed that March is an unhealthy month.that it is as bad as it was in the long ago years of high death rates, and that each person id- willing to contribute to the good work to the same ex tent of living through. March anyway, what can a person do to escape some bt the extra hazards ot March? The great March hazard is pneu monia. To escape pneumonia keep out .of crowded places. Especially should one avoid overheated - as sembly halls. If one must ride on a street car during the rush hours, by all means stick to the platform. Sinco there lias been no smoking on the oar platforms the air is clean and the space is wholesome. .Even though one face must be close to another on a cold morning, expired air with its heat, moisture, chemicals, and pneumonia germs quickly rises out of reach Tha second injunction relates to those who have caught cold. They should go to bod for a few days. Thev mav not bo convinced that this advice is good. Why not listen to; the other fellow for this month even though you do not agree with him? Have your own. way the. other 11 months, but this month is different. Stay quietly indoors and, better still, in bed during the fever and ache staee of coryza or bronchitis. After that stage has passed it is reasonably safe to go out again. March is tlve month of cerebro spinal meningitis. This disease 'gets a good many young men and women. It is especially hard on boys at col lege living in dormitories and bar racks. When I was at college it becamo necessary one spring to crowd a lars;e number "of us in a newly erected dormitory wliig. The building ; was loaded to twice its normal load. Meningitis broke out und the entire student body was sent home for a month. We (ascribe.! it to the damp walls of the new bunding. I know now that the disease resulted from crowd ing. Let younsr persons beware of meningitis in March. Crowfling is the contributing cause. , According to the statistical bulle tin' of the Metropolitan Life Insur ance company there were 68,690 cases of smallpox in 15 states in 1920. At that rate there were nearly 200,000 cases in the United States during that year. This is a bad, rec ord. If 1921 is to have a better one we must keep the March record down. If there has not been much smallpoj; by tlo end of March the rate will not get alarmingly nign je fore June.the date when it drops oir snaJiMv.

Knockers and Kicker. Ainsworth, Nb., March J. To the Editor of Tho Bee: A friend of mine sayB he does not like the Methodist because they are always knocking and kicking something. I offer him these reflections: To Pon tius I'ilate and the Romans, Christ and St; Paul were knockers and kickers. To the Catholic church and the Established Church of England, Martin Luther and John Wesley vrere knockers and kickers. 1 To King Gcorgo and Ills Parliament. Wash ington and Marlon were knockers and kickers; and to the South and their slave holders Lincoln and Wen dell Phillips were knockers and kickers. Tlwre has never yet ben a great and brave man who stood up against established conditions in church or state, who has not been called a knocker and "kicker. Where would civil. and religious liberty have been today if it had not been for knockers and' lackers! In fact the world has been pushed onward and upward at every step, by knockers and kickers and not by trimnfers and sycophants. Jt is natural for man to take the road offering the least re sistance and to drift with the cur rents however dirty the waters. rather than grasp the oar and strug gle up stream toward its source, where the waters are purer and more wholesome. We are too much inclined to get upon our knees, and, by fawning seek favors from the rich -and those in high position. It Is only the brave man. with the cause f of justice in his heart, who can stana up against thesa influences and the certainty of being called a knocker and kicker. So I conclude that the best thing about the Metho dist is their inclination aiad ability, to knock and kick. L. K. ALDER. MUCH IN LITTLE. MARCH FOURTH.
