Lining Up for the Tariff.
The president of the National Association of
Manufacturers, in the course of hit addresi to
hi$ convention called to consider the subject of
the tariff, emphatically stated the necessity of
protection from competition of Europe and other
cheap labor countries. Another report from
Washington is to the effect that the agricultural
bloc in the aenate is agreed on the modified
American valuation plan as now pending.
Here is an evidence that an understanding is
being reached on (he tariff question. No greater
duty confronted the Harding administration than
llie revision of the so-called Underwood tariff,
which embodies to the greatest possible extent
the democratic doctrine of free trade. The failure .
of that law to produce revenue or to protect
American industry was made clear before the
war came to disturb conditions. It would have
produced disaster long ago, had it not been for
the effect of the war on American foreign com
merce. With the prospect of stability ahead, the
Underwood schedule is a distinct danger to our
future.
Europe can not produce as yet on a prewar
Kale, but already has a surplus, a considerable
part of which is finding market in the United
States.' Every article so purchased displaces a
similar article made at home; every day's work
provided for an English, a French, German or
Belgian workman by reason of the sale of his
output in this country means a day of idleness
for an American workman.
Some advocates of-a low tariff argue that
Europe will not be able to pay the debt owed to
America in cash, and so must pay in kind. One
of the visitors from England to the Washington
conference said that British workmen can make
our automobiles, typewriters and the like, and so
in a few years the debt now due from'England
, will be, discharged. He did not tell us what is
to be done with the skilled mechanics of our own
land while the workers of Great Britain were em
ployed, in supplying the American market with
manufactured wares.
Our farmers are as deeply concerned in this
as-are the manufacturers, for unless the factories
are running full time, the consumptive demand
of the city population is reduced, and the
farmer's market is thereby restricted.- What the,
protective tariff should do is to equalize condi
tions 'so' as to protect the home market at all
points from foreign invasion. .Our- external
commerce at its utmost is scarcely more than
one-eighth of the domestic trade, and we can
not afford to let down the "bars any further in
order to accommodate Europeans. All are anx
ious to see the affairs of the world set in order,
and health restored to every nation, but there is
not selfishness in keeping the American market
for the American producer as far as it possibly
can be done.
College Sport and the Crook i.
A great deal of local intrrttt if frit in the
Notre Dnt football and baiket ball teams, for
they have been gueitf of both Nebrak and
Creighton, and have been greatly idmired be
caut of their ability. The torrow that U felt
brcauie of the diidOMtret in connection with the
tcandal jut developed if genuine. Coach Rockne
will he commended for the high moral at well as
physical ftandard he ha tet for hi team, and
his eampl will do much to maintain decency
in college tportt and thus to hold public con
fidence and repect.
Another tide to Ihe cae it present, not a new
one, regrettably, but one that is a real menace.
Rivalry between two towns frequently grows to
point that amounts to actual enmity, and a
warfare it tet on foot that involves about every
thing that war can produce abort of actual dash
of arms. Citient who are otherwise honest and
worthy, and who would not stoop to a dishon
orable set in connection wjth their private buoi-
nets, deem it no tin lo participate in any sort of
chicanery that will discomfit their rivals in a
sporting way, and are willing to uphold the pres
tige of the home town by deedt of treachery and
deceit they should blush for.
In this case the thame falls on a group of
young men, not yet out of school, w ho thought
lessly permitted themselves to be used by their
elders, engaging in what appeared to them to be
lark, but which really was a despicable at
tempt to humiliate a rival town, and to secure a
large sum of money through wagering on a sure
thing. The Maybray gang was sent to prison
for pursuing similar tactics. Whatever the feud
between Taylorville and Carlinville, it will never
be settled by dishonesty, nor should it be per
mitted to further infect public and private morals.
Coaches Rockne and Zupke are setting about
to clean up their college teams. "Big Ten" cir
cles are shocked, but the loss of the services of
stars going into eclipse will be more than sup
plied by the reflection that college sport can be
kept out of the hands of the crooks.
When Death Rules the Show.
The dreadful disaster at Washington will
more than shock the people of the land. In
cluded in the death roll so far as disclosed are
names from all over the country, showing how
general the bereavement will be, while all will
shudder when contemplating the calamity that
so tragically ended a night of gayety that fol
lowed a day of unusual distress on account of
Ihe storm. The blizzard itself was enough to
hold attention, for it was of uncommon severity,
and Washington, in common with other cities
in the track of the storm, experienced great dis
comfort and inconvenience through the weather.
It is not to be marveled at that the people
sought the diversion of the theater to get away
from the monotony of the storm, for that is
natural. Nor is it a cause for wonder that none
anticipated any such event as ended the comedy
exhibition that was under way when the struc
ture crumpled. Like all other similar visitations,
it came unexpectedly on its victims, giving them
no chance to escape the doom. No moral is to
be drawn from this experience. Man's wisdom
and foresight are employed to the utmost in
providing for safety of those who assemble in
great throngs. An unsuspected weakness de-
velopes somewhere and disaster follows. ,
Fortunately for Omaha, the theaters in the
downtown district, where the larger crowds as--semble,
are all built in the most substantial
fashion, for the purpose of making certain, that
the patrons, will be protected.' Every care is
taken and the fact- that no panic ever disturbed
a performance in this city is a good record for
the managers to point to, as reassuring pros
pective patrons that life and limb are as secure
here as can be made.
No "Indirect Damages"
BoUhevik Claim for Ofltet
Arouse International Mirth,
(From ibt Boston Transcript )
"PrejHjsteroM' it a iJd word (' our
eminent emriaS to apply ro Ihe boUhevit claim
for "indirect iaiuae" from the allies lo an
amount racec .ing that of all Ku.tia's foreign in
drbtediiet. It would be a nulj tharactrruatioii
of it in any rate, but it i doubly to when, at re
ported by the AcoriatrJ J're. the Mocow
government tart in claim clmny upon the
precedent et by Ihe U nited Matrt in the A'a
bam case at the dote of our civil war. To cite
that precedent for demanding "indirect uin
tget" for the eot of the various wars in which
toviet Kutta hat been rngatied it inadncrt which
would teem rMrrme in itrdlam.
For the precedint fit at that time, in the
Ueneva arbitration, wat not in uvnr of, but nmtt
explicitly and emphatically again! the collection
of "indirect damages.' It it true that there wat
talk of turh a claim. It wat led by to great a
man at I'hsrlct Sumner, then chairman of the
foreign relations committee of the United States
senate. He louk. with pa.tionate fervor, the
ground that the BritUh government should be
held accountable for alt the indirect at well at
the direct Ioet which the United States had
suffered through itt failure to enforce strict
neutrality during the civil war. In a powerful
speech in the senate he argued that had Great
Britain given no aid or comiort to the south, the
war would have lasted only half at lontr at it
did, and that therefore that country thuuUl be
compelled to pay the entire cott ol the war for
those extra two years in brief, one-half of the
entire war ocht.
That speech,. made in executive scsmoii, but
Eromptly made public by the tenator himfcelf,
ad the effect of defeating overwhelmingly the
ratification of the convention which Keverdy
Johnson and Lord Clarendon had made for set
tlement on the Alabama and other claims. It
did more than that. It exacerbated international
feelings, and evoked from the Britinh govern
ment unmitakab!e intimations that it would not
so much as enter into discussion of any such ex
travagant claims. In consequence negotiations
were for a time abandoned, not to be renewed
until Sumner's preposterous demand was aban
doned. So when in 1871 Secretary FUli and Sir
John Rose again took the matter up, Mr. Fish
took the preliminary precaution of conlemng
with senators and securing from them assurance
that, in spite of Sumner s insistence upon the
collection of two billions from England, they
would ratify a treaty omitting all reference to
"indirect claims." This was done, even Sumner
himself, who meanwhile had been deposed front
his chairmanship of the foreign relations com
mittee, voting for ratification.
When the arbitral tribunal met at Geneva,
however, the question of "indirect damages" was
raised. E. Rockwood Hoir. one of the American
commissioners, declared that it was his under
standing that such a claim was to be considered.
The British government demurred, 'and some
controversy ensued. Finally, however, Charles
Francis Adams drafted a declaration, which was
unanimously adopted by the tribunal of arbitra-
ion. to the effect that the members ot the
tribunal had individually and collectively come
to the conclusion that such claims did not con
stitute, on the principles of international law,
eood foundation for an award of compensation,
and that such claims should, upon such princi
ples, be wholly excluded from the consideration
of the tribunal. That ended the matter. Not an
other word was heard about "indirect damages,"
and the large award made by the tribunal in
America's favor was exclusively for direct dam
ages, explicitly proved.
That, then, is the precedent wnicn was at
that time established. It was a precedent which
absolutely barred out of consideration all claims
for "indirect damages" just as surely and de-
isively as it established the principle ot liability
for direct damages. It was exactly the con
trary of the absurd contention which is now
made by the soviet government. The hundred
billion gold roubles" which Lenine and Trotzky
are said to be planning to demand from the allied
and associated powers must take their place by
the side of the two billion dollars which Charles
Sumner vainly dreamed of exacting from Great
Britain. The Genoa conference will make quick
disposition of any such offset to the lawful in
debtedness of Russia.

' Fair Skies for the Future.
The Bee's staff correspondent is finding, Ne-
braskans full of fight and hope. They are not
i down and out, but are planning to do bigger and
Ibetter things in 1922, and are carrying on
through the winter with such earnest zeal and
determination as makes the prediction for the
Ioming seashn as certain as anything in advance
an be. His route is taking him all over the
late, so that no section will be neglected, and
is looking for truth only. The optimism he
TKorts is mar oi me people ne meets, ana so is
w-thy of recording. His discoveries are sup
ported by other indications. Advertisements for
help wanted are becoming more numerous in the
newspapers, jobs are not so hard to locate as
was the case a little while ago. Everybody is
not yet fully employed, but the number looking
for work is daily growing less. Projects for im
provement, public and private, are taking on
more definite form, banks report money easier,
and the first month of the new year ends with a
decidedly better , tone to business of all kinds.
No matter who it was; that first said, "I'm a bull
on America," his faith is being justified. The
sides are clearing rapidly, and better times are at
hant- ' t
.What Every Man Admits.
A French savant perhaps thinks he has voiced
an original discovery when he says that the
American woman marches down the street as if
she owned the town. If he pursues his inquiry
a little farther, he will find she does. Coming
here in interest of hit position as president of a
physical inquiry society, he soon found out that
whereas in Europe woman is handicapped by an
inferiority complex (vide Freud), over here she
is possessed of a superiority complex, and is
making good on it every moment of the day.
After the visiting brother has been with us long
enough to get well acquainted, he will find out
something farther about the complexity of the
relations between man and woman in the good
oM U. S. A, where the SO-SO basis is the rule,

Ernest Shackleton, Explorer. '"
Another name has been added to the illustri
ous roll of those who have given their lives in
quest for knowledge of out-of-the-way'. places.
Ernest Shackleton was inspired by the same "de
sire to serve that has led man always along his
upward path. He was not content with know
ing what was known, or easily accessible; the
unknown held for him the fascination that urged
him ever onward. Like many of his 'breed, he
found in the challenge of inaccessible Antarctic
opportunity for his intrepidity, his skill and
knowledge, and there sought the reward that
comes with opening up a new region. Shackleton
reached nearer the south pole than ever had been
attained until it actually was reached by
Ahmundseti and a few hours later by Robert
Falconer Scott, whose fate is one of the most
poignant of all the tragedies connected with the
efforts to reach the top of the world. Such men
are the pride and glory of the human race, the
pioneers in all forward movements, types of the
energizing influence that has prevented stagna
tion and compelled advance. On his journey
which began last summer Shackleton hoped to
make valuable additions to the growing record
of south polar exploration. He has been denied
the privilege; yet already had enough to his
credit to entitle him to a high place among the
venturesome explorers of the world.
What Is the Idea?
An order limits the height of a Salvation
Army lassie's skirt to not over seven inches

the attraction of the lassie has .never been in

European money is looking up, even the Aus
trian krone having recovered to where it is now
worth $0.0004. This is not quite down to zero,
but it is close enough.

In and out of congress attempts are being
made to change the handling of the United
States forestry service and the public forest re
serves. Bills are appearing to this end. There
seems to be a concerted move to reopen the fight
that was fought and settled under Roosevelt.
The general aim of the measures is to get the
forestry service away from the Department of
Agriculture. Why?
The bills agree on a general trend toward
placing the forest reserves under the Depart
ment of the Interior. Why?
One measure sponsored by Senator New of
Indiana would take the great forests of Alaska
and place them under the Department of the In
terior's charge. Still another would place Alas
kan timber under some sort of local board, with
the forestry service having nothing to say
about it. . .
What is the idea? The Department of the In
terior is a sort of real estate broker for the gov
ernment. Are we to begin raiding and selling the
forest reserves?
The Department of Agriculture is producer
and marketer of crops. It has been handling the
.forests ably as a crop, according to the best
practices of forestry and the tenets of conserva
tion. In Roosevelt's time, in the days when "Bal
lingerisni" was fought to a standstill, it was
necessary to take the forests away from the con
trol of the Department of the Interior. Why
put them back again?
This move and the men back of it should be
watched. It will be very hard to show that Sec-,
retary Fall is any better fitted to watch and
guard the forest reserves than is Secretary Wal
lace. Just who and what interests are back of
this quiet move to undo what was so hard to do
in the regime of Secretary Ballinger? Philadel
phia Ledger.
Simple Heart of a Child
When we have made all the moral observa
tions which occur to us concerning child labor,
the protection ad schooling of our children, we
are led to believe that we have not evenv touched
the heart of the matter. When Christ said: "Of
such is the Kingdom of Heaven," He was not,
there is reason to think, merely furnishing Chris
tianity inspiration for child labor Sunday and
the processes of democratic education. He must
have been thinking about those clean springs of
happiness and peace, of life unsoiled by worldli
ness, which is the estate of the little child. The
middle ages contrived to keep some of those
springs pure whicli the ages since have polluted.
The fascination which a man like Sadhu Sundar
Singh had for us "western Christians who met
him, was due to the fact that he came to us with
the heart of a child. If Christendom had kept
closer to its Master, we should never have lost
that high estate of sincerity and simple joy. It
is what we most tragically lack in our care
worn and fear-ridden civilization. We must see
to it that it lingers on in our churches and
homes. The Churchman.

that she had.
That it was a second generation
case was proven by characteristic
fissures across tho lips and radiating
scars at me corners or the moulh.
The father of her vounitcr chll
dren gave no evidence of syphilis.
though he had been living with her
ror ll years.
The oldest child, the daughter of
a nrst nushanu, had inherited syphl
lis. Her blood showed a Doxitive
Wasserman. She gave no history of
syphilitic rash In Infancy, nor
snuffles during that period. .
bno had the typically cupped teeth
set irregularly, and commonly
nown as the syphilis teeth of
Hutchinson. Her mind was that of
high grade maron, subject to oc
casional convulsions and minor na
ralyses. The eyes show evidenco of
syphilis. The snuffles and eye symp
toms did not appear until she was
years old.
The second child, a son of the
second husband, gives a positive
Wasserman. His head Is square and
his skull bones are thick. He has
nasal discharge. He is blind from
optic atropny. When lus log was
broken the bones did not heal as
they should.
This boy has syphilis of the hi
herited type, appearing after in
fancy as these signs and this history
show.
The three younger children show
o sign of syphilis, except It be con
tlnued chronic snuffles, a disease
from which two of them suffered.
It is Dr. Tumpeer's opinion that
here at least are two cases of third
generation inherited syphilis as
proven by the latest word in symp
toms, signs and tests.

Children's Hips.
' S. writes: "You have had several
inquiries lately referring to unequal
hips in children. The most common
cause for this Is that one leg is
shorter than the other. I think that
records in the colleges show that
one student in 25 has this misfor
tune. The remedy is found in plac
ing a lift of the proper height in tne
shoe- on the short side.
"I personally have a prominent
right shoulder blade, a bulging left
hip with a slight lateral curvature
of the spine. A lift in my left shoe
placed at the age of 35 has given
me much help and comfort. My
daughter, who has the same defect,
Is perfectly symmetrical. While
she was still growing I found her
dressmaker placing a pad on one
hip and at once remedied her defect
by the lift in her shoe."

Dublin Castle 'Falls'
(Krom the I-hlladrlplna Il(rr.)
Michael Collins smiled a huppy
smile when Viscount Kltzalan hand
ed Mm the keys of hated Dublin
Castle. Collins is a man of Imagina
tion. There Is humor In Mm. A
few months ago "Mickey" waa flit
tlnff like a shadow over Ireland's
bogs and heaths, with a price of
10,000 on his devoted head. Eng
lishmen liked to think of Collins
with his head In a noose on a Dublin
Castlo gallows.
The ways of Providence and peo
pies are strange ways. It was given
to the hunted Collins to head the
provisional government that re
ceived the "surrender" of Dublin
Castle and to smile with Viscount
Kitzalan over the happy and blood
less ending of a feud that lias blazed
and smoldered through 700 years.
While the Cornwell guards went
through their rifle drill In the castle
yard, the last rifle drill these guards
will do in Ireland; while English
bedding and books, strongboxes and
records poured out of the castle into
the waiting vans, eight Irishmen
walked in at the door and Ireland
came into her own.
Michael Collins and Arthur Grif
fith will not die on an English gal
lows with an English noose around
their necks. They may be pilloried
by their countrymen, but the "for
eigner has gone his way.
Make or break, shape or mar, the
future of Ireland is now in the
hands of Irishmen. The Celt has
been dreaming his emerald and iris.
gold and blue dreams of Krln for a
weary age. His time and chance
have come- to make these dreams
come true.
Old "Strongbow's" adventure has
rounded out its chapter. There need
be no more Irishmen lying out m
the hills" or "on the run" unless
they are hiding from Irishmen or
running from Irishmen.
For the first time in 7o0 years an
Irish government, chosen by the
people of Ireland, rules in South
Erin and holds Dublin Castle. In
an hour's time, for the transfer of
authority took no longer, the British
government ceased to exist in tne
southern part of the island. The
Irish are left facing their future,
and they face it alone.-
They must now find a wayi to
agreement among themselves to
compromise between tactions ana
to an accommodation of views ana
passions and principles within the
wide limitations of the treaty that
created the Irish Free State. Rea
son, good will, mutual trust and
common sense all do show the way,
but the greatest of these is common
sense.
Statesmanship will count, ot
course. So will gooa win; out ire
land now stands in need of a deep
and mighty blessing of plain com
mon sense to shove her on through
the breakers and out into the open
sea of statehood.

HE DARKENED HIS
GRAY HAIR
TELLS HOW HE DID IT.
Mr. T, A. McCrea, a well known
resident of California, who was called
Daddy and Grandpa on account of
his white hair, and who darkened it
with a home-made mixture, recently
made the following statement:
"Anyone can prepare a simple mix
ture at home that will darken gray
hair, and make it soft and glossy. To
a half pint of water add 1 ounce of
bay rum, a small box of Barbo Com
pound and li ounce of glycerine.
I hese ingredients can be bought
at any drug store at very little cost.
Apply to the hair twice a week until
the desired shade is obtained. It
does not color the scalp, is not sticky
or greasy and docs not rub off.

I could live on my income;

And for exercise could figure
Out my incom tax.

Not the dollars that I earn
In my pedoeoglc harness
Helpln little cnapa to learn;
But a great big healthy Income
Yielding tax to Uncle Sam,
could travel, travel, travel,
From thi cold spot where I am.
If I had money
I could buy soma old estate,
With' & homey house upon it
And a garden with a gate;
There with sunshine saturated.
Steeped in comfort to the core
might realtio th blessings
That were mine when I was poor.
