RE\'ISIO‘\I By an impressive majority of more than twenty, thirteen Republican Senators voting with the Democrats, the Senate recently recommended a downward revisfon of the tariff. That the recommendation ought to be foMowed at an early date is obvious. A marked reduction all along the line ought to be the first step toward the removal of the tariff from politics and its place- ment in the hands of expert, non-partisan tariff commission. It would be far easier to build up a low tariff to a scientific to tear down a prohibitive tariff wall. The burden of proof ought always to be on those who want _ & high tariff on any particular schedule. 1t ought not to be necessary to attack the interest of any particular industry in order to get a schedule reduced. The popular interest, the natural in- terest, is that of the consumer in getting his needs at as low a price as prac hle. The ~industry that needs such protection that would cause an increase of price ought to be required M’q‘. the necessity and the benefit the protec- the country considered as a whole. an basis than | subdivision a vengeance,—utterly shattering all precedents The recording of it is an epic in itself The laboring ticker and tape obviously need further mechanical refinem wgible, or else of the task the abbre- of sales unit figure avalanche of sales—perhaps *‘purchases” would now be more graphic—causes sad delay.

(St. Louis Globe-Demoetat.) Settlement of a boundary dispute between Peru and Colombia has just been ratified with friendly help from Brazil and the United States. Ecuador's wedge-shaped east end so juts into the 710,000 square miles of Peruvian territory that the northeastern portion of Peru consists of an irregular area connected with the rest of the country by a mnarrower neck of land between Ecuador and Brazil. This northwestern section is shown by the maps to be so thrust into Colom- bian territory as to be bounded on two sides by that territory, and through it flows the Putumayo River, after paralleling the old Ecuador-Colombia frontier for a long distance. However, the maps will have to be changed, for Peru has long claimed a narrow strip bounded on the north by the general line of the Putumayo River, which is one of the headwaters of the Amazon, and on the south side by the old Ecuador-Colombia line. The claim to the strip of Colombia went back to 1777, but Peru claimed it under a general and later treaty made in 1851. Though the world heard little about it at the time, this s one of the Latin-American disputes which Secretary Hughes was enabled to adjust before he retired from office. A concession by Brazil to the Co- lotubians of the free navigation of all Amazon tributaries and a small gift of land to give ac- cess to these waters in one place helped in the adjustment. With this corridor, fifteen to sixty miles wide, Brazilian line west almost tains, Peru will have the most remarkable con- 300 miles long and from extending from the to the ocast moun- ALONG LIFE'S DETOUR [ | By SAM HILL Not Much Longer, If Any Though skirts so short Oft do seem wrong, We know girls don't Wear that kind long.

In this rich district of. forests and probably ‘also minerals it has a quid pro quo for the Tacna-Arica land it has been fussing over so long. If the average width of the strip is thirty-seven and one-half miles, its area must be more than 11,000 square miles. The Tacna- rica desert, for whose nitrates world demand is ning, has only 9,250 square miles. Tulsa (i;bes Back. (St. Louis Post-Dispateh.) he gay red suspenders which once graced the manly frames of the fire fighters of Tulsa, Okla., are done away with by official ediet. No longer will Tulsa’s dashing fire trucks, hurrying on to the scene of battle, be enlivened by the bright elastics caught tight about the stanch shoulders of the city's defenders. For new regulations in- dict the once proud galluses as ‘“‘small town, in- convenient and cumbersome.” It is too bad. It is too bad because the well-dressed Tulsa fire fighter now must wear such sombre attire as a belt, a black bow tie, gray shirt and other quite as anaemic trappings. And it isn't right because red is the fireman's color and red he ought to wear. And if the great ones who direct Tulsa's fire-fighting fashion want to know the truth about it, suspenders aren't small town at all, at all, any more. They have come back. They are quite the thing on Fifth Avenue, al- though they are meither red nor visible.
