Republican Convention at Chicago, Senator Harding put in a frank plea for a return to a protective tariff, “the economic ' | policy which sends American workingmen to the savings banks rather than the soup houses.” We wonder what kind of Republican reasoning the Senator sum- mone to his aid to dispose of certain present facts—to wit: The soup houses are empty and idle. less use for them than Never hae a winter aeen ast winter. As for the country’s savings banks, their deposits during two fiscal years reased to the amount of #270,000,000. Between Jan. 1, 1915, and Jan. 1, 1916, savings bank deposits in this State alone gained more than $47,000,000. The Federal Reserve Board reported this month a steady further increase in such deposits throughout the coun- try—“with wages probably higher than ever before.” Yet it is more than two years now since the tariff waa revi downward amid the disinal pr of Republicans like the esteemed Senator from Ohio What happened to the in We note, by the by, pretensions of the high protectionist school are wearying come of the shrewder minds in Japan nostications vending caldmity?

HE Mayor’s Independence Day Committee organized this week to prepare for New York’s celebration of the coming Fourth of July. The Aldermen have agreed to appropriate $25,000 for expenses, which is $15,000 more than the city thought it could afford last year. It is proposed to make this year’s celebration emphasize the loyalty and solid Americanism of New Yorkers as a fitting example to the country. The illumination of the Statue of Liberty and the gathering together of singing societies representing the various na- tions at war in Europe in one grand chorus of “America” and the “Star Spangled Banner” are features already being considered. Safety and sanity are by this time so well established that they are assumed as a matter of course, With $25,000 and the co-operation of the public it ought to he possible to plan a Fourth of July observance worthy of New York, This is obviously the year to make an extra effort. The Independence Day Committee can set an example by seeing to it that no suggestion of petty politics creeps into its organization ind activities—either in the appointment of its sub-committees or in the spending of the money voted Sharp Wits here is @ vast difference between eserving poor and the deserve to r.--Deseret News, eng s Hits From When a man offers to show yaoi how to make a lot of money, re member that those who know do not | be pe show; they make for themselves, oe 8 lay by the Press Publishing Company, Nos. $8 te rman, he opened uf ning Wo A Sick Elephant! | | | i | } | i | i-—_—— LDA i} Everyday Fables —— By Sophie Irene Loeb Copyright 1916, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York Erentng World), At first the parents were opposed to the mateh, but finally the spoiled darling’s happiness was the only coD- sideration and she married the man, He had so difficulty in advanc- ing in his work, but always he had the mother and father-in-law to help jhim along.
