THANKS TO CANADA. ANADA has declined to discuss a treaty for the canalization of the St. Lawrence. ¥ Far the moment this seems to settle the agitation in the United States as well. But New York should not. rest content with such a disposal of the project. The agitation favoring a St. Lawrence Canal was a political matter in the United States. Canada’s refusal was political. The political situation may change so that Canada will invite renewed discussion. The Canadian refusal gives time for New York to make good the claims that the canal is unneces- Sary and uneconomic. It is now the task of New York to demonstrate that the State Barge Canal and the Port of New York are able to serve the Middle West economically and conveniently. The Barge Canal is open for an increasing busi- ness. The Port Authority is in existence. The Canadian refusal has given to New York City and New York State the breathing spell for which it was useless to petition Congress. Now New York must move and make good. , « “Bakhmeteff to Resign as Russian Envoy.”— Headline. Score another point for Borah, the only Sena- tor who seems able to finish what he starts. GET BOTH SIDES. N the Friday afternoon class in newswriting for the benefit of Washington correspondents, the press learned with surprise that President Harding disapproved of the handling of several recent news stories connected with his Administration. The suggestion that sensational charges made by public officials should be “played down” is sur- prising, coming as it did on the authority of one who has prided himself on being a good news- paper man. There have been “blackguard” attacks on men in public life by men in public life. Senators Reed and Watson have singled out Herbert Hoover for attack. Mr. Hoover survived. His reputation breaks the attacks and they roll back to discredit the men who made them. It was inevitable that the Harding rebuke should be connected with the case of Daugherty. In. that incident no back-wash has appeared. It is a fact that the press as a whole was con- servative in treating the earlier charges against Daugherty. It printed the news of the charges, but it was not until Daugherty and Senator Wat- son of Indiana were caught in a “misunderstand- ing” that the charges against Daugherty became serious. Noy, one after another, the reputable Repub- lican and independent as well as the Democratic * newspapers are demanding that Daugherty resign or explain. “Blackguarding” the Congressmen and Senators who made the charges in good faith and then fol- lowed with what is a strong prima facie case doesn’t clear Daugherty. The matter ought not to be hushed up by Presidential ukase. \ One of the Marion Star rules quoted Friday was: “Remember, there are two sides to every question. Get them both. Be truthful. Get the facts.” If the newspapers have been unable to get both sides of the Daugherty case, whose fault is it, if not Daugherty's? » If De Valera is unable to control the irregu- lar forces who are supposed to be operating ‘as “Republicans,” ‘where is the advantage to the Free State advocates in a “coalition” that does not coalesce and put down the disorder? If the “Republicans” cannot or do not make good by supporting the Provisional Irish Gov- ernment, the Collins-Grifith faction will have good reason for abrogaténg the recent agree- ment on the grounds that the “Republicans” did not carry out their part of the bargain. TONGUE-TYING TENS. J. BRYAN has added another chapter to 7 his dispute with Dr. R. C. Spangler of West Virginia University, a biologist who recon- ciles evolutionary theory with the Bible. Dr. Spangler claimed the $100 reward Mr. Bryan offered for such a reconciliation of what Mr. Bryan believes are contradictory theories. At first Mr. Bryan seemed inclined to welsh on his offer, but’he is now of the opinion that the money is well spent because he believes Dr. Spangler’s essay “has tied the tongue of at least one evolu- tionist in the class room,” Mr. Bryan is so sure of this that he is inclined to go even further and offers a ten-dollar reward to any other department head in the same uni- versity who will agree to support the Spangler profession of belief Mr. Bryan is “willing to invest a little more money if by doing so | can tie a few more vongues,” Harking back to the days when Mr. Bryan was ¢ , THE EVENING WORLD, MONDAY, JUN ts = sca ae z , an active and perennial candidate, we seem to recall that he objected to the use of money either in silencing or stimulating tongues. He is on a peculiar tack now 7 The peculiarity of Mr. Bryan's mental processes may indicate to scientists that he at least is not of anthropoid ancestry—because he is so different from most men. . Mr. Bryan concludes his letter to Dr. Spangler with the following: “Appreciating the contribution you have made to the humor of the discussion, | am.” Does Mr. Bryan appreciate the humor he, him- self, has contributed? We wonder, SUPER:TARIFF. ‘ce CONSUMERS’ tariff” seeking “to restore the buying power of the American public.” This is the alluring way Chairman McCumber of the Senate Finance Committee has described the Fordney bill as amended by the Senate. The consumer is likely to get a different opinion if he learns that the measure imposes a new burden of more than $800,000000 upon the American people. ' : The United States has had many tariff laws. The pending bill is a super-tariff. The Fair Tariff League is an organization of manufacturers announcing as their purpose “‘a just tariff, adequately but not excessively protecting American industry and labor, lowering the cost of living, considerate of our changed position in world affairs.” This league has prepared an analysis of the present measure comparing it with the Payne- Aldrich and the Under®ood schedules. A group of twenty-nine industries enjoyed under the Payne-Aldrich tariff a protection of $1,307,- 000,000. Largely due to an increasing price scale all over the world, the same industries under the Underwood tariff had in 1919 protection amount- ing to $2,663,000. The proposed tariff would ex- tend a protection of $3,077,000,000. If figures were available for all industries, the total would be even greater. But these are not the final sums the consumer is required to pay. High tariff is based on the theory that it is necessary to bring foreign values up to our own values. It is, however, an invita- tion to trusts, combinations and price-fixing coteries to increase prices of domestic goods to the extreme limit. By the time the goods pass through the hands of wholesalers and jobbers and on to the retailers about 100 per cent. is added to the ultimate cost to the consumer. The $3,077,000,000 protection’ to the manufacturer will swell to more than $6,000,000,000 when paid by consumers. High-tariff advocates plead that big duties are necessary to protect American labor. As a matter of fact, labor costs are no longer the chief item in production costs. American invention of auto- matic machinery and other highly approved appli- ances has reduced the labor cost from one-tenth to gne-fifth of the selling price of the product. In former times, when competition prevailed, manufacturers added to the price only the part of the tariff necessary for fair profits. But now that huge consolidations control prices there is no ob- stacle to adding the entire amount of the tariff. The Fordney Tariff Bill will benefit the price- fixers, and no other group. Prices have already been advanced upon the expectation of the passage of the measure. The consumer is already begin- ning to pay the bill, From Evening World Readers What kind of letter do you find most readable?

I think you should draw the line at Excursions for Mothers. ‘To the Editor of The Evening World: Permit me to take advantage of the columns of The Evening World to yoice a suggestion, prompted by good citizenship, a suggestion that might possibly be considered by, the Mayor and the municipal authorities. The plan is this: As a lifelong resident of the east side, that section of our city, which houses the most wretched and miser- able of cur denizens, I am perhaps spectatiy suited to prescribe for the curing of the ills of the many, poor suffering human beings. The hot summer months usually provide the east side mother and her children with their greatest problems. Congested thoroughfares make un- bearable the heat and the stifling air. The limited facilities of the Municipal Baths at Coney Island remain ‘he only escape from the penetrating rays of the hot sun, Those who cannot afford to send a numerous brood to the seashore must languish behind. I shall not attempt to describe with what delight and rapture the mothers and children of our slums would wel- come an excursion as guests of the city. The thanks and joy of the happy throng should be ample recom- pense for fhe expense incurred by the city in financing daily boat rides up the Hudson River—let us cay, to Bear Mountain. Free tickets could probably be dis- tributed to the neediest, with the aid of settlement workers, The Mayor of the city and the men in our City Gov- ernment are presented with an oppor- tunity to prove that they are the “friends of the people’ €ven after Election Day.

UNCOMMON SENSE By John Blake (Copyright, 1922, by John Blake.) A PEACE WITHOUT VICTORY. It is fortunate that the game of golf is coming to be played by the poor as well as by the rich. It is an excellent thing that cities are establishing public For the game of golf renews man's war with himself, which is a war that is too often allowed to sink into a peace It is noticed that the Scotch are a thrifty and self-con- trolled race who almost invariably prosper when they come to countries where money is more plentiful than it is in The Scotch play golf, and on the golf links they learn to master themselves, which is necessary if any one is to For a man to play golf, he/must conquer absolutely rebellious nerves and muscles and rgving eyes.

But he is improving a little, and so will every golfer improve who tries to. More important still, he will increase his mastery over his refractory body, and when he has accomplished that he has learned a very important lesson, Golf is an excellent exercise—the best in the world for men past forty—and it is splendid discipline.
