Some few have suggested improvements which have merit and will be promptly acted upon. Our aim is to publish a newspaper representative of the concen- sus of opinion of our readers, as nearly as we can produce it. And when we have struck the happy note we shall sustain it at any cost. From time to time new features will be added to replace others that are bound to outlive their appeal, and they will have the greater excellence or they will not be admitted to the general feast we give our patrons. Those who placéd before the Tribune family of readers the particulars and excsilence of their mer- chandise have been liberally rewarded by patron- age and have sowed the seed for further patron- age as time goes on. While the Sunday Tribune will grow in public favor, we shall see to it that the week day issues are kept to the high standard already set and shall be content with nothing less than that the Tribune shall be a corrett index to the world’s happenings, the world’s news and information, the world’s en- tertainment and the world’s opinion. Modesty forbids extolling further the work of our own hands, but if pressed to the point of com- mitting ourselves we would say the Sunday Trib- une was some paper. a ee Time to Take Hold HE ROTARIANS discussed the matter of a swimming povl-yesterday at their noonday luncheon and futly agreed to its desirability as a recreation for young and old. And come te look it over such a public feature could be established without a very great outlay of money. So far as the funds are concerned we do not doubt for a moment they could be raised in very brief ‘time. The point has been reached when all that seems to be lacking is for some organization to take hold and put it over, We are all waiting to go in, not only in swim- ming but in with the cash. With a co-operation by the several leading public organizations of the city, say the Chamber of Commerce, Rotarians, Ki- nis, Lions ¢ others through a committee from each, the thing is done and a good object accom- plished. ee ee A Race With Tariff prolzewie passage of the tariff law steamship men, on behalf of importers, wirelessed ships at sea (o bend every effort to reach port before the president signed the measure. Several ships were able to make harbor before the bill was signed. Others were not so fortunate and the shipping con- cerns tried to c n rulings from the customs an- thorities that would consider the ships within har. bor’ if they were within the “12mile bootleggers’! limit.” In t ¢ last week of the Democratic low duty tar. iff more than 900,000 in customs duties were collected at the port of New York alone, while an average of more than $1,000,000 a day was cc lected in customs duties at that port from July 1 on, During Sature Monday and Tuesday be. ep the bill became law more than $3,000,000 a was collected on imports. Sugar, tobacco and (probably carpet wool) were the chief com- modities withdrawn from customs, while woolen, wool silk and cotton goods made up the bulk of mannfac- tured goods declared for duty at the last moment. A special trainload of English textiles, Irish laces and other merchandise rushed aboard the Maure- before she left England failed to arrive in ) profit by the duties in the Underwood-Sim- aled by the new tariff. on behalf of merchants and the country engaged in import a petition stating that on holidays their clients could business of withdrawal and entry came effective: and they would ect to the unnecessary hardship ° he new and higher duties on merchan after subscrip | -|a very large percents r and sold on the basis of exist }dise contracted ling rates.” An organization called the National Council of Importers and Traders requested a similar delay! “so as to permit the entry at present rates of duty / lof goods contracted for abroad on the basis of the | present rates, which are en route to this country.” | | It is more than suspected that these actions were | lmere political flourishes encouraged by a few small | bore Democratic politicians who will follow them up by arging the president and his party with ruthlessness in restoring ‘protectic No other valid reason is suggested for such silly requests.: For nine years these importers have added what} they saved in Democratic duties to their bank ac. counts. For nine years they have enjoyed profits on their imports, in many recorded instances rang Jing from 150 to 2,000 per cent. Since Novesnber 3,/ 1920, they have been looking forward to the restor-| ation of protection, and for 20 months—the period! from the time of the passage of the bill through! }the house to its passage by the senate—they have bad ample opportunity to stock up under the old rates, and the records of imports indicate thet they did The glut of the ports during the last days of the old tariff shows that the importers were taking gamblers’ chances to beat out the new law. Where they did so there is no kick coming by the govern- ment. Where they failed they should be sportsmen | enough not to kick at failure. ‘shey had their day| and the prices they charged show it was a field y. Moreover, it is quite likely that as the old law | ared its end they prétected themselves in their} contra If they did not they were foolish. A Wife's Victory CHAPTER has heen written in the} mtinued story of the Stillman marital af-| |fairs. It is the finding of the referee. In this a| complete victory for the wife is recorded. She is not guilty of misconduct with the Indian guide, the child Guy is found to be-the legitimate offspring of | James A. Stillman and Ann U. Stillman, and Still | | | | | | |man himself, who brought the action is guilty of | misconduct with three different “women ard the father of two children by of them. And thus it is with too many men this day, who charge their wives with crimson deeds and rush into courts to prove their children namel when} , they themselves are guilty of identical crimes they j would fasten upon the mothers of their children. The Indiana case is another sickening mess that |is better buried in the family skeleton closet than jaired in the courts.

The public is nauseated with the details; jand with Stillmen’s ches nd common behavior. | Friend of Women Workers ANY YEARS AGO a poet told of “Man's in-| humanity to man, } ’ Tt has remained for the wom-} en’s department of the Democratic national com- |mittee to give the world a portrayal of “women’s inhumanity to women. That department is circu- lating literature to women’s clubs deploring the en- actment @f protective tariff which will deprive American women of the privilege of buying im-/ ported lace, gloves, cotton goods, woolen goods, pot: | jtery, jewelry and a long list of other orticles. They deplore the fact that under the protective tariff it will be more difficult to buv foreign made goods, They view with indignation the prospect of having to guy goods made in America by American labor. These are the same women who, In other litera- |ture, are pretending to be the friends of women in industry, who write high, sounding phrases about jthe upliftment ‘of womenhood and the betterment; jof childhood. Just how the continued importation! lof foreign made goods could work to the betterment |of women in industry is not clear to the logical thinker? According to the government statistics, there are in this country 1,256,000 women employed in’ strict- ly industrial pursuits, manufacturing articles which come in competition with like articles made abroad and imported into this country under: the |Underwood tariff. ‘he various trades at whicii these women work are jewelry, chemicals, cigars and tobacco, pottery, glass and stoneware, cloth- paper, tanneries, textiles and miscellaneous—such jas brush, button, electrical goods, etc. dt is common knowledge that thousands of wom- en regularly employed in these industries have been out of work during the past year or longer because of the tremendous imports of foreign goods. | Under the Underwood tariff, importing interests |haye been able to buy gloyes abroad, pay all costs incident to their shipment and landing in_ this! country, pay the duty on them and still lay them down in New York ready for sale at price less than |American women operatives in American glove fac- |tories were paid to make the glove: |. Under the Underwood tariff foreign glassware |has been imported into this country and sold at a |price per piece less than American operatives in glass factories were paid per piece to blow like ware. | Under the Underwood tariff cutlery has been im- |Ported into this country and sold at a retail price | which is but a fraction of the labor costs of like cutlery made in this country. Such examples could |be multiplied indefinitely. | The result of this was widespread unemployment jamong thousands of women who. have learned their jtrades in the various industri Labor statistics show that a very large precentage of women in in- |dustry are either heads of families or contribute ge of the support of a family. | Of what profit is it to women in industry to en |act legislation proyiding them with proper yentila- jtion, sanitation, working hours, ete., establishing |women’s bureaus and making appropriations to en- |force the laws affecting women. in industry—if we |permit a tariff law to remain on the books that |throws the woman in industry out of a job? The |best friend of the woman in industry is that one who secures legislation to insure her steady em- {ployment at a profitable wage. The Republican party has always stood for such a policy. In addi- |tion it has also always been the party that saw to it that the woman in industry after she had steady employment was guaranteed proper working cond jtions, environment and hours of labor. The Demo- jeratic party has always been the party which stood jfor free trade, which meant closed factories and unemployment of women workers and which has in those states of the id South” where it has ab.
