A FLEXIBLE TARIFF
IT IS apparent from the size of the ma
jority by which th Senate ha adopted
the plan for nn clastic tariff that 'sentiment
has advanced a considerable distance in the
direction of n mere scientific adjustment of
tariff rotes than that te which we have been
accustomed.
The plan. In brief. provides that the
President, after Investigation, in.iv increase
or decrease the rates fixed In the bill In net
mere than ,"0 per cent If the facts justify It.
Mr, Harding lias asked that Congress
provide by law that the Tariff Commission
be the body te make the investigation, but
lie has announced that If this Is net done he
will by proclamation designate the commis
sion as the fact-finding body.
Twe objections have been raised te this
plan for an clastic tariff. The tirt is that
It Is proposed at this time ns a mere elec
tioneering trick. Congressmen seeking re
election can tell their constituents that the
duties fixed in th bill aie net final. They
are merely the basis fr,em which the Presi
dent will work In arriving at an equitable
rate. If the farmers a,v the rates nr tee
high, they can be told that the President
will lower them; and if the manufacturers
ay the rates are tee low, why, the Presi
dent can raise them.
This objection comes from opposition
Beurces. The Democrat have been planning
te attack the Tariff Iilll. It was te he their
chief source of ammunition against thr Ite
publlcans. Hut ihe flexible tariff plan pours
water en all their gunpowder. They are
naturally indignant and they are charging
that Its sole purpose is te feel the voters.
It might ! i ossihle te treat tl'.K s-ort of
talk seriously if it were net for the fact
that students of tariff legislation In and
out of Congress have been urging the plan
for several jeat-s. It is net something
cooked up for a pe'itical emergency.
The second ebjei mni i-. that the plan de
stroys all stability in tariff rates. It lias
frequently been said that business can ad
just Itself te any tariff provided it is assured
that the rates will be permanent some of
the saints, according te tradition, ncciis.
temed themselves te sleeping n a bed of
aptkes. Every time Congress begins te con
sider a new Tariff Hill business is checked
and no commitments are made until it Is
known T hat the new law is te he.
If we are te assutiy t li:i t the President
nd the Tariff Commission will art in geed
faith this objection loses much of its feri e.
There will be no changes in rates which the
facts admitted by the interested parties de
net justify. There will ! no long peiind
of -uncertainty pending the pre. lamatien of
a new rate; and a rate arrived at after
careful investigation will be nere likely te
be equitable than a rate agreed upon by the
vote of Congressmen actuated by purely po
litical motives.
A further objection Las been raised,
namely, that the plan i un oiistitutien.il,
as It Involves the surrender by Congress te
the President of its taing power A the
Str'iuat' Court has net passed en this ques
tion IT would he presumptuous f r any lesser
authority te attempt te decide It. IS'it it is
worth while retailing that we have had
tariff laws which provided for lowing maxi
mum and minimum rates and authorized t lie
President te dei ide which rate should pre
vail. The present plan in us essence is a
plan for a maximum tariff ."ill per (cut Uglier
than the rate fixed in the lull and a mini
mum 50 per cent lower. And Congress em
powers the President te liv. the rates be
tween these limits in ii'-i erd-iiv with what
ever may be the state of fai ts at any time.
This hnrdl.v seems te be a surrender of the
'taxing power of Congress. t is rather an
Intelligent exenlse of It. It miild he argued
that Congress bv delegating the railroad rate
making power te the Inter-t.i'" Commerce
Commission has surrendered us powers
under the Interstate mnmiei.e i la ,e of the
Constitution, but it has ii"t been se held
by the courts and the railroads nicept the
rulings of the iotniii!ss:en.
JOKES THAT WEAR OUT
IT MAY surprise thatnge rs te be told

Velstead law. The prohibition joke has be

In like manner, the mortgage foreclosure

REBORN IRELAND LOSES ONE
OF HER TRUEST PATRIOTS
Frse State Is Arthur Griffith's Menu-
ment, Emblematic of the Enduring
Werth of His Clear-sighted
Statesmanship
rnilE work of Arthur Griffith will go en.
J- The premise of this progress is In itself
the measure of a man te whose lndomlteblc
end unselfish leadership the dawn of a new
Ireland Is largely due.
If there is a kind of consolation for the
Irish people in this prospect, that senti
ment does net lessen Indeed it deepens the
sorrow for the premature passing of an In
spiring and exceptional type of patriot.
Irish history Is replete with the romances
of Impassioned spirits contemptuous of
realities, tragic dreamers, of the stuff of
which perhaps poetry rather than nations
are made.
Cathleen-ni-Hoellhan, new bowed with
the weight of bitter years, new bright-eyed
and ecstatic, "with the step" as Yeats puts
it, "of a girl" has been an Imperious mis
tress. She has made martyrs, whose death
in a sense, marked a release from a vain
contest with phantoms and chimeras.
Griffith adored her with n devotion quite
equal te that of Emmet, O'Cenncll, Parncll,
Wolfe Tene. It Is in bis expression of this
loyalty that a marked departure from trist
ful tradition may be traced.
Of the program of the creation of the Irish
Kree State, Arthur Griffith once declared:
"It doesn't strike me as being anything
mere than plain expediency,'"'" There was
courage in th'j'- u'.ternnce. for the word with
which the speaker defended his espeual of
the cause of en nutonemous Ireland has
long beer, shadowed by unfavorable con
struction. "Expediency." maintained Geerge Mere
dith, "is a man's wisdom; doing right Is
Ged's." The epigram Is attractive, but
many of these who have Interpreted it tee
literally have fallen en the tlark field of de de
lulen. In ;i considerable number of mundane af
fairs "man's wisdom" Is about nil one has
for guidance. Man's wisdom, bulwarked by
impregnable honesty, was a fundamental fea
ture of the character equipment of Arthur
Griffith.
. It was net, moreover, unaffected by a
strain of linens" Idealism whli h supported
Griffith in the grim days when misconcep
tion of his purposes led te imprisonment
and te sufferings which might have daunted
a less ardent spirit.
Hut it was, after all, "man's wisdom" in
brilliant flower which Inspired the hard
hitting determined Griffith and the magnetic
and eloquent Cellins te save the day for
Ireland In that critical hour in Londen when
the Free State arose te confute t-keptles and
repair the wreckage of a thousand tragic
years.
As fervently as ever he helped te launch
the Sinn Kein movement, as vigorously ns
he pamphleteered en Its behalf, edited mili
tant journals and plunged into the vertex of
nationalistic politics, Griffith championed
the new order of dominion government and
the prospect of the reawakening of Irelend
te noble responsibilities worthy of Its place
In civilization.
The sincerity of his Intentions mid his
unyielding grasp of realities burgeoned in
the generous support of his constituters.
His accession te the presidency of the Dall
was a richly deserved honor which Griffith,
with the aid of his faithful partner Cellins,
head of the previsional government and
cemmnnder-ln-chlef of the Tree State
forces, repaid te his nation by an unflagging
exhibition of practical statesmanship.
If the ascendancy of the Free State Idea
in the minds of the vast majority of Irish
men at home and abroad Is an illustration
of "expediency," It Is clear that that com
modity, given certain conditions, has been
undervalued and misprized.
The best advices are in accord In fore
casting the early and decisive defeat of these
fortes either of sheer obstructionism or of
inetuphj steal fervor, with which Griffith
had little patience. The president of the
Datl was a t lese student of history, net only
of his own but of ether peoples, nnd he con
sistently noted upon the conviction that na
tional entity, distinction ami prestige were
unattainable unless founded upon a struc
ture of fuct.
As a consequence, Griffith refused te ex ex
tell the impalpable and the hypothetical. He
beheld an honorable nnd glorious national
life for Ireland under the operation of the
treaty establishing the Free State.
Whatever the aspirations of the Inmost
recedes of Lis heart, whatever his poetical
conception of Ireland a vision doubtless in
tensified by bis Intimate association with
.Jehn F.gllnten, Geerge W, Russell and W.
H, Yeats may have been, Griffith turned
from the separatist fancy because at this
time it was manifestly Impossible te give it
reality.
He perceived In the partnership of nations
of which the Hritish Empire is in fact com
posed an honorable association in the inter
est of valid progress. The opportunity for
Irish emancipation of n very genuine kind
was tee conspicuous and ten pressing te be
sruriied. Griffith adhered te the facts.
It is a brave, skillful man who makes of
circumstances, apparently adverse, bis allies
In project dear te his heart. Without the
sacrifice of inherent principles, Griffith In
terpreted dcstlny'as n friend, net n fee.
The unpredictable caprice of fate is ex
emplified In his death just en the eve of the
fruition of his cherished purposes.
Ireland with all her roll of heroes has
seldcfUest one of finer moral caliber or one
EVENING PUBLIC 'LEDGER
mere earnestly devoted te her true well
being than Griffith of the Free State.
He will net be forgotten. A reborn na
tion will be his enduring monument,
PATIENCE REWARDED
rriHE patience of the residents In
the
neighborhood about Old Yerk reed from
Hread street te the city line Is at last being
rewarded.
This street has been dangerous te pedes
trians for many years. There has been rib
continuous sidewalk. The street-car tracks
were en the side of the roadway se that
pedestrians had te walk In the center. Ac
cidents were frequent, and inconvenience
was continuous.
New it is announced that the work of
Improving the street will be completed en
October 1. The car tracks have been moved
te the center of the roadway and walks are
being laid en both sides of the street, thus
making it as safe ns any ether street in the
city.
The motorists who used the read will be
as grateful as the people In the neighbor
hood for the Improvement, for they will no
longer have te be en the alert lest they run
down n pedestrian. The highway will be
used only by wheeled vehicles.
PARK CONCERTS RESUMED
HEXKY I1ADLBY, who will take up the
baton nt the Lemen Hill concerts en the
resumption tonight, will be enlisted in nn
undertaking te which the epithet experi
mental can no longer be applied.
The symphony orchestra season In Fair
mount Park has far surpassed in popular
appeal and even In artistic work the rosiest
dreams of its promoters. In three weeks',
time Victer Kelar, the first leader in the"
cycle, demonstrated the keen and. sincere
appetite of the Philadelphia public for geed
music ns a diversion and a stimulus in
summer.
His successor, who will direct the con
certs for n fortnight, is nn experienced hand
at dispensing aesthetic entertainment,
adapted te n wide diversity of popular
tastes. Mr. Hndley's direction of the
stadium concerts in New Yerk this season
has brought new success te that enterprise
which Is, in n sense, the inspirational father
of the concerts here at home.
He will be favored with a public eager for
the best nnd sincerely appreciative of high
class, rather than austerely "high-brew"
composition well played.
It Is te be hoped that modesty will net
deter him from occasionally submitting some
of his own admirable works. Mr. Hadley
unquestionably ranks among the most tal
ented of American composers nnd Lemen
Hill habitues, new constituting nn Immense
clientele, will be happy te pay their respects
te his Individual inspiration.

- PHILADELPHU, MONDAY, "ATJGUSl1 14,
AS ONE WOMAN SEES IT
The Fact That Methuselah Ate What
He Found en His Plate May,
Dietitians Concede, Have Had
Something te De With
His Leng Life
Dy SARAH D. LOW RLE
WHEN I was a child lets of eldish per per
eons who came te the house used a
word that I grew te bate, because they al
ways threatened me with It. The word was
dyspepsia !
They claimed te be great sufferers from It
themselves and refused te cat this or that
en the score of it. And it nlwuys seemed
te me that they gazed en what we children
nte with envious nnd at the same time dis
approving cjes, shuking their heads nnd
ejaculating:
"You'd better net!" or, "Yeu will lie
nwake tonight, if you de net have bad
dreams!"
As a matter of fact we were given very
simple feed as children, nnd nt such hours
as would insure easy digestion before our
bedtime, but apparently these sufferers from
dyspepsia found even simple feed nt early
hours ns tr.vlng ns tasty dishes of odd fla
vors at odd times. Nothing agreed' with
them.
The truth of the matter .was they had
ruined net very strong digestions, probably,
by carelcs or haphazard or tee hearty eat
ing in their early years, and ns no one much
understood diet nnd few doctors made any
but the sketchiest feed lists out for their
patients, the wrong once accomplished was
difficult te right.
BABIES of well-nourished, well-to-de
fnmilles would go te death's deer and
sometimes out of It because of this very lax
treatment of the feed subject. And babies
cried a great deal mere then they de new,
because folic was n very common trouble
with even the ones that were supposed te be
healthy. It was taken for granted.
Then suddenly (nt least it seemed sudden)
there came n change! The whole matter of
feed for infants: the variety, the healing ns
well ns nourishing qualities, the accent en
this or that Ingredient te make up for some
lack, the regularity and the quantity, the
weighing nftcrward, the way the feed was
administered, all these factors that were
never considerations before were part of the
regime net only of n well-to-de, much much
berved household, but, thanks te clinics,
pessible even te the baby of an Ignorant
immigrant.
As for the regime of adults in regard te
diet, whole libraries have been written about
feed, and been read, tee. When it came
te the home hvgicne classes of the war the
whole subject of diet, vwlth a knowledge of
balanced meals, wns part of being patriotic
for the housekeepers of the country. In fact,
the feed shortage drove that lessen home in
many n household te a very salutary de
gree. The right feed, rightly cooked and
conscientiously eaten, became part of win
ning the war.
Until then each locality hed Its fetish
the feed it would have whatever else it went
without. The cake in the country sections,
the het brends nnd griddle cakes of the
Seuth, the perk and potatoes of the Irish
families, cernmenl mush nnd scrapple and
sausage of the Pennsylvania Dutch, the
beans and codfish balls of New England, the
strong brew of tea for the settlers from
Great Hrltnin, and the strong brew of coffee
for the settlers from Scandinavia, the cab
bage and soaked meat of the Slavs nnd
Germans nnd the raw fruits and greens and
spaghetti of the southern Europeans. The
universal desire of the young person for
sweet tilings and cold things might be said
te have constituted the only general feed
taste in tlie country until the war.
During the war. and since the feed em
bargo has been lifted, there is n growing
tendency te be less, sectional, less racial in
diet among Americans, and tee, at all events,
give our bodies the benefit of a varied and
at the same time a balanced diet.
TT
1 in
IS hard te realize that this growing
telligence about feed and this real desire
en the part of American mothers te provide
well-balanced meals for their children has
scarcely found nn nnswering echo In Europe,
ccept where the Red Cress and the Ameri
can feed relief feices have influenced indi
viduals here and there.
I spent part of this morning with n
woman who has just icturned from visiting
her daughter, who is living in England and
who has lately had a baby. Fortunately, it
was net her first child, or the end of the
story would have been different and sadder.
The parents saw te it that the best nurse
procurable and the best-known English doc
tor were en hand for the occasion. The baby
came into the world fat and healthy and
began life well, for its mother was also
healthy nnd with plenty feed for it. Hut te
the hitter's astonishment no embargo was
put upon bow much or hew often the child
was fed. Her first baby, born in America,
had been very much mere carefully treated.
However, both doctor nnd nurse seemed se
authoritative and sure, she let the doubt in
her mind rest.
Rut when the child fell ill she sent for n
chllil specialist, who immediately took it off
Its mother's milk nnd put it en an Infant's
feed, giving it merphia at intervals in order
te quiet it. The baby grew rapidly worse,
and ns seen as the mother could get her
strength she set herself te the task of finding
some one who really knew or cared about
diet in the American way. She discovered
a baby's hospital with n doctor who was se
progressive as te be almost without public
support, but in whom she found a kindred
soul, for he could speak her language about
diet and sounded like Helt or Starr in his
ideas coin erniug babies. She get him te her
liabv In time just In time- and they pulled
the child back te normal bahvhoed,
BL'T her experience had been se tenifying
nnd her search had been se drastic that
she was tilled with distress at the benighted
state most of the practitioners of England
were apparently in with regard te the whole
matter of diet. She brought about a meet
ing bet w fen Dr. l'lexner, of the Rockefeller
Institute, and the progressive doctor of the
lieby Hospital, with the franLlv evpiesjed
hope that this e,ne progressive's hands might
be upheld from the great fund that is de
signed for the purpese of making the knowl
edge of the few the wisdom of the many.
1 De Wall, of the College of Pharmacy, n
very amusing and, I should think, immensely
able paper lie rend last winter. He rather
decries, I notice, tee much notice indulged
in bv 'he generality of us upon the .exnet
fend 'values of what is put before us. The
vitnmine vigllants nnd the calorie weighers
come in for some passing fun in the follow
ing verse that he quetes:
"Methuselah ate what he found en his plate
And never, ns people de new.
Did he note the amount of the calorie count
lie nte It because It was chew.
He wasn't disturbed, ns nt dinner he sat
Del roving a roast or a pie,
Te think it was lncking In granular fat
Or a couple of vitamines shy.
He cheerfully chewed every species of feed,
Untroubled by worries or fears
Lest his health might be hurt by borne fancy
dessert,
And he lived ever nine hundred years!"
Dr He Wall's plea joking npart wns
for plenty of fend of a wide variety. Te his
thinking this catholicity of taste would de
away with malnutrition and with deficiency
diseases. He remarked;
"My creed Is thnt he who enn eat In nil

Daily Talks With Thinking Philadelphia en Subjects They

DR. JOSEPH B. WOLFFE
On Campaign Against Heart Disease
RESEARCH en a large scale supported
by public moneys nnd n presentation of
facts te the people by the medical profes
sion through the press eventually will be the
chief campaign methods in the etTert te
stamp out heart disease from specded-up
modern life, according te Dr. Jeseph H.
Wolffe. of the staff of the Mount Sinai Hos
pital nnd n director of the newly organized
Philadelphia Association for the Prevention
and Relief of Heart Disease.
"The battle has just begun," snid Dr.
Wolffe. "Doctors have known for n long
time of the prevalence of heart disease, nnd
have hud accurate statistics of its alarming
increase. Hut such discussions as have taken
place have always been nmeng medical men,
and hence, when facts are mnde public, they
tire perhaps mere startling than nctual con
ditions would lndicntc,
"Adult cases of heart disease, it Is known,
stnrt new far earlier in life than wns usual
before people begun hurrying ubeut as they
have done for the Inst few jenrs. Symptoms
of nrterio-sclcresls, or hardening of thq
nrteries, are new appearing frequently in a
scale of ages ranging from thirty-five te
forty -five.
"We work nervously nnd hurriedly, and
we de net knew hew te relax, te have real
recreation, for that same hurry and scram
ble continue in whatever We de. If a men
gees off for even a week-end vacation, he
conies back te his work mere run down nnd
tired than when he left, for he lias probably
been en the go from the time he started,
snatching feed when and where he could and
never stepping.
Always In a Hurry
"In the city the pace continues; hurried
meals, running for trolleys nnd trains, in
crensed burdens of mental nnd physical work
all add te the tension under which people
live, without stepping te consider whether
or net ihey are constitutionally fitted for a
continuous round of activity.
"Then, If they find thut the heart is In
had condition the shock brenks the spirit
nud they feel that they ere done for. This
Is net se. Unllke ndvanccd cases of tubercu
losis, heart troubles can be remedied by an
altered method of living and a slewing down
of all activities, with rigid adherence te
rules laid down b.v u phvsician. There is
no leasen te give up.
"There has probably been no Increase In
the number of cases of heart disease among
children In the last few jeers, but never
until the last year has any attention been
paid te collecting information en children
alone. New that it bns been found that
children, unknown te themselves or te their
families, huve often some form of heart
trouble. It remains only te seek mere spare
for treatment and te determine mere fully
the causes.
Few Deds for Heart Cases
"In the whole city we have only sixteen
beds for children afflicted with heart lesions
nnd ether troubles that require a place of
rest, where competent care can he given and
frequent ' observations of the case made.
These beds are in the little cottage In Deven.
We could use 500 beds new in this cause
alone.
"It Is net a problem te be financed by
private money or te be dealt with entirely
in private Institutions, ns at present. It Is
a municipal problem of the greatest im
portance, and tee much cannot be said for
men like Dr. Furbush and Dr. Cernell, who
nre doing their best te provide for the ex
amination of every child when It comes Inte
the schools of the city nnd, further, te nr
range courses nnd activities that will eradi
cate heart weaknesses as the child grows
elder. We need mere men with that high
sense of civic duty.
"Seme of the causes of heart disease in
chlldicn are already known, such as bad
teeth and infected tonsils Acute rheumatism
also is invariably productive of bnd effects
en the heart. We need a greatly extended
system of research, made pessible by the
city Itself, for private means nre Insufficient
and there is much te be learned yet In clinic
and laboratory.
Heart Trouble and Indigence
"When you think that the cause of n great
deal of civic dependence Is heart trouble
(hat might have been stepped many years
1922
NO THOROUGHFARE
earlier had the enses been reported and dealt
with by the city, it appears all the mere
logical that the problem is n pub'.lc one nnd
is important te mere persons than the one
immediately concerned.
"People have been largely ignorant of
heart disease and the steps necessary te
combat it. I believe thnt from new eii the
newspapers should be closely in touch with
committees of the medical profession in order
that information that is proper mny be tlis
seminnted among the public. It Is the only
wny they can get it.
"Among the aliens I notice particularly
the ignorance of people about their own
condition and these In their fnmllies. Thev
de net understand the instructions of doc
tors well enough te carry ihem out. Here
at Mount Sinai Hospital the percentage of
nliens is very large, and whenever I wish
te show te nny nf my classes nn especially
bad case, I have only te bring them here t'e
n clinic.
"Children suffering from heart disease
should be located when they first come te
school, nnd then It becomes possible te watch
them throughout their lives, mere or less.
They can be regulated in their activities
while in school, and Inter thev can enter
one of the many trades or businesses which
are net tee arduous for their health.
"They will be worth mere te themselves
nml ,u?,.,sec"'ty, nH " ""fifing unit, and the
possibility of their becoming n public charge
enn be practically eliminated."
