The danger from Europe may be nullified as a result of the war, these protec tionists admit, but—iook to the west, across the Pacific! “We must have a high tariff to save us from Japan,” is the new ery. “American wages will be slaught- ered by Oriental competition unless Protectionists unite to put up the protection bars.” An impressive summary of Japan's i if il i i i] | | | industrial development has been pre- pared to back up the high tariff ar- gument; how she is now exporting about a Dillion dollars’ worth annu- ally and how her labor costs are from one-fifth to one-eighth those of corresponding industries in this country. “The conclusion,” says a statement Wheel; Asks $25,000 Saved from a wreck and placed in @ Pullman sleeper, Mrs. Gertrude ‘W.

Cope, They had come all the way from the Kio Grande for the same duty that they have been engaged in| in the past—to repel invaders. Only the invaders on the Red River were not Mexicans. They were Ok lahomans, who, fired by the discovery of oil on the brink of the Red river, had crossed to the south bank, long considered the boundary between the states, and planted their banner, a sign declaring that the south bank of the Red river stream was in the state of Oklahoma. “We're here to keep the two sets! of claimants from shooting at each other while the courts decide their disputes,” Gen.

When wages were low, England could afford to do this and still meet commercial competition. But now, with wages continually on the in-| crease, she realizes that modern methods must be employed to cut! down costs. | It is a familiar sight to see four men unloading a wagon load of coal} in a London street. There are no chutes and no coal holes. English-! men are beginning to think about} installing beth. Many large office buildings are without central heating systems. England knows labor can, and must | be saved by installing modern heat- ing plants. Many plants are without adequate telephone systems.
