Chairman Penrose of the senate fi-
nance committee announce* that pub-
lic hearings on the tariff bill will be
resumed on December 7, which wilt be
two daya following the convening of
the regular session The purpose of
the hearings, of course, la to glee
every Interest affected by the tariff
opportunity to appear and present
claims and at the same time fur-
ntab information to the committee
and the senate that will guide them in
the enactment of revenue lawa.
It would seem, however, In view of
the hearings had, both In the senate
as well as la the house, that congress
would he In poeoeeolen of nil the in-
formation required for intelligent ac-
tion. What new facta can be brought
out or additional reasons advanced for
changes In the schedule the country
will be at a lo«a to know or under-
stand.
Besides, tf one recalls campaign
statements of the Republican candi-
dates, they will wonder why the party
in power wants to delay matters by
granting bearings on the question.
Pre-election declarations showed an
unanimous opinion upon the subject
oa part of the successful party and
an ax pressed determination to Imme-
diately enact a tariff |#w that would
restore business prosperity throughout
the country.
The subject was Included In the rec-
ommendations of th« President when
he convened the special session seven
or eight months ago and, inotoad of
proceeding to carry out platform
pledges and promises, the congress
has simply frittered away Ita time
hi holdiug hearings at which the same
fsets were brought out and the same
matters threshed over which in for-
mer years has filled pages of tho Coe-
grooaional Record.

Unquestionably the administration
has proven quite a disappointment to
tho country as a whole, and especially
the busfnesa interests. The Republic-
an party baa steadfastly posed as
msre truly representative of the busl-
n«m interests than the Democratic
party, and acceptance of that claim
or boast Is what placed it In power
with such a tremendous majority. But
in the light of the record made so far,
public opinion is doe for a change. If
It has not already changed. The
premise of a speedy return to normalcy
has not been fulfilled. Taxes have not
bean towered to any appreciable ex-
tent. the cost of government has not
been reduced, neither has the cost of
living been lowered. About the only
thing that has come down is wages,
and with that the army of unem-
ployed was never so great. All of
which goes to substantiate the charge
that the Republican party Is quite
leap on promises but woefully short
oa performance*.
The great trouble is that we have
government by parties rather than by
ths people. Political considerations,
partisanship of the rankest sort enters

- Shakespeare; Cymbeline 111:4,
"Have you heard the latest scandal?"
te woman asks of another, who was
known to be fond of gossiping.
*1 have not,” was the manifestly
iger and expectant answer.
1 suppose, there is none”
the prompt rejoinder.
"There are In every community men
woman who make It a point to
up with all the gossip and scan-
dal afloat, and 'to retail it with much
unction, and usually with addition and
elaboration, wherever and whenever
they can find an audience Buck per
seas have a faculty for accumulating
stores of Information concerning in-
discretions and evil doing, which they
not only treasure for their own grati-
fication. but spread abroad, either ma-
liciously, or unmindfully of, or Indif-
ferent to the barm done thereby; tho
misery that may be caused by their
babbling. Often a slight Indiscretion,
thoughtless misstep, is magnified by
frequent repetition, as It goes from
mouth to mouth, until It means some-
thing ‘teivible.’ And often a pure in-
vention mitt the pnrpoee of the gos-
siper; the slenderer the thread on
which the story la hung, the faster and
further It spreads.
"There Is in this world enough wick-
edness to which ,we cannot shut our
cros, without going out of the way to
find It and obtrude it unnecessarily.
Condemned and combated in a proper
way, wickedness may be lessened; and
good people are ever ready to lend
thetr aid to all such efforts to sup-
press evil, wherever It ahrfws its malig-
nant head. Society must frown on the
infringement of the necessary proprie-
ties as the law does on even the slight-
est violation of its saandstas. Hociety
demands observanc«Nof certain rules
which are essential to the praasrvattoii
of Ita purity and strength. The law
lays down rulea of osaduct which
Stake tor peace and good order, for

for the general weal. Society can pro-
tect Maelf from the Intrusions of the
unworthy, or banish from Its circles
offenders who would bring reproach
upon it. The 8tate con- punish evil
doers who breach Ita laws and merit
punishment. Rut how shall we silence
and suppress the tale hearers, ths
mean goastpers, tho malicious scandal
mongers? For they do more mis-
chief with their poisoned barbs that
pierce the heart and wreck the home,
than do the criminals who prey npon
.property, sad steal merely «e gratify
their cravings—not their malice.
“Hew shall we eoamare these assas-
sins of reputation, who Invent and cir-
culate stories calculated to stir Jeal-
ousy. strife and ruin, with their other
class that la moved to risteace and re-
venge or by Impulses of erring fan-
aticism? Hsw shall we bridle the
tongues eT the wicked, who revel In

less are as mtschievious as If Inflamed

"Everywhere, fortunately, there are
men and women who bear but littb
gossip, and turn a deaf ear to slander:
and they are the happier for it. They
are too high-minded to Indulge in re-
tailing rumors that harm the repute
and standing of a neighbor, unless
convinced of their truth and Impelled
by a sense of duty to take cognisance
of them. They listen to little evil be-
cause it grates on their ears; It does
not delight them. They avoid the
vicious contact, lest thereby they be-
come besmirched. A wit of a former
time said, 1 would have tale-bearers
and tale-hearers punished, alike—the
one hanging by the tongue, and the
other by the ears.* And this reminds
that tale bearers would be forced out
of business were there none to give ear
to their vaporing*.
"Tale bearers are Just as bad as tale
makers. To repeat a slander is no
less reprehensible than to originate. It
for by the circulation the harm Is done.
The web ot our life is of a mingled
yarn and good and HI together;* and
ISw there are who so nearly have ap-
proached perfection that some of the
bad does net obtrude upon the good.

THE AGE OF THE TEACHER

whisk
they hove taught so psrMstently for
tarty yeans the qoeothm la asked on
every hand, and especially by the
Skeptical, “What will she ds with U?
Will she use it fhteWgently?"
If women don’t know what to do
with the ballot. It wlU be the first
thing they have asked for or had given
them that they didn't knew what to ds
with, for it la characteristic at women
to know what they wish to do with a
thlng-betare they ask for it
It is safe to assert right now that
women already know what they will
do with the voting privilege and have
had framed up |n their minds—for
many years—many Innovations In leg-
islation which they will spring on the
public at the psychological moment;
and all the men need to do In the fu-
ture is to wateh which way the "wom-
an sentiment” on any public question
is drifting, then get right In tRe same
boat with the women and drift along,
especially If a moral question is In-
volved, because the women will In-
variably vote right on all moral ques-
tions and their opposition will he hard
to stem.
Now as to whether they will use
their vote Intelligently on matters af-
fecting the business of the country,,
that’s a different question and depends
altogether on whose business is af-
fected as to whether her voting will be
considered "Intelligent” but let no man
or aet of men get the idea that the
la-
u-rrste of the country Is concerned,
for there is where the women voters
will spMt ms into a thousand factions
and H Will be n salt bet that each
woman win vote with her-husband—•
or as he dictate*.
For instance, if there is a fight on
which involves the interests of both
tho manufacturer and those who work
for the manufacturer, the women
folks of the washers wlU vote, of
course, for their husbands and broth-
ers' interest, while the manufacturers'
wires and daughters will vote with
their husbands and fathers. If it Is
a matter vitally affecting the farmers'
interests, all the termers’ wives and
daughters will vote for their interests.
If it Is legislation vitally affecting tho
pocket book* of physician*, lawyers
and preachers, or teachers, the women
folks of the men In these professions
will, of course, vote for the protection
of their ewn interests, and so on to
the end. because the "hand that rocks
the cradle ’ also robs Friend Husband’s
pockets some times—while he sleeps—
and the more money in husband’s
pockets the more money wifey has to
legislation that Is go-
spend and any
ing to tax money out of husband's
pocket is not going to be popular with
Friend Wife, so there you are. Each
woman will vote "luteHigently” In ac-
cordance with her own Men of what
ta good for her interests, regardless
of the moral questions Involved.

LONG OI8TANCE MOTOR

The automobile has given Americans
a much better knowledge and under-
standing of our country than was pos-
sible for many before the daya of the
motor vehicle. Every year hundreds
of thousands of Americans enjoy a
motor tour, some of which stretch
across the continent, and an automo-
bile gives a much better opportunity
to become acquainted with sections,
communities and people than la pos-
sible from the window of a railway
train.
The automobile also gives the owner
a much better opportunity to become
acquainted with his own community.
Automobile owners in Wichita Falls
are now as familiar with towns and
cities like Fort Worth, Vernon, Fred-
erick, Bowie, Heymour and others in
this section a* the residents Of Wich-
