tute. All but two of the victims were

TO PROTECT LABOR FROM
FOREIGN MADE GOODS
Senator Jacob H. Gallinger of New
Hampshire, Introduced the follow
ing resolution in the Senate Decem
ber 4. The resolution was afterward
tabled:
Whereas the American Federation
of I.*bor. at its recent convention in
Buffalo, without a dissenting voice,
went on record as favoring a policy
cf industrial preparedness and the en
actment of taws by Congress that will
adequately protect all wage earners
of our country against loss of employ
ment through an invasion of our mar
kets by the products of otner usroas:
and
Whereas from the enactment of the
Underwood-Simmon* tariff law until
the commencement of the European
war, covering a period of about ten
months, the importations of foreign
made goods into our country reduc
ed our favorable balance of trade by
$260,866,122, an average of over
$26,000,000 a month, being a deduc
tion of forty-three per centum, thus
donionst.a.mg conclusively that, if
continued, it would have destroyed
our industrial system: and
Whereas the total of our imports
from all the nations of the world dur
ing the tiscal year nineteen hundred
and seventeen was over $850,000,000
greater than for nineteen hundred
and thirteen, the year before the com
mencement of the European war.
while the revenue for nineteen hun
dred and seventeen was $92,000,000
less than for nineteen hundred and
thirteen, conclusively proving that
the duty rate of about eight per een
tuin, which now prevails, the lowest
in tint history of the country, utterly
fails to adequately protect either Am
erican industry or American labor
Therefore be it
Resolved, That in view of existing
conditions, as well as in anticipation
of the industrial conditions that will
teccssarily exist at the close of the ]
war in which we are etjgaged, it is
the duty of the Congress of the Uni
ted States, without delay or hesita
tion. to place on the statute books a
taw that will protect allc lasses of
our pet,pie. and especially the labor
ing and agricultural classes, from the i
disastrous effects of an inundation of,
foreign-made goods and products.

POI.ICK COMMISSIONER

NEW YORK. Feb. 7.—Mayor Hy

had accepted the resignation of Police
Commissioner Bugher. No formal
reason for Bugher’s resignation has
been given out.
Banana a Bread Fruit.
The orange, apple and banana can 1
not lie compared for tin' reason that |
they represent lliree extreme types. |
The orange contains no starch and the
humum is nearly all starch. The apple j
stands midway between the two. One
can make a meal of ripe bananas, but I
ripe oranges would, by themselves,
hardly suffice. The orange Is n re
freshing food, the baimim a nourish
jug food. The orange and the apple
should he eonsituied with other food,
and wheras one might eut half a loaf
of bread and half a dozen apples, he
would be very foolish to eut half a
loaf of bread and a half dozen ban
anas. The banana is really a bread
fruit.
Excusable.

Tommy had been promoted by the j
chemist. He wus now allowed to
serve behind the counter. The other i
morning n middle-aged lady, looking
her full age, came In.
"Have you any cream for restoring
the complexion?" she.nsked bashfully.
Tommy was a wise lad. He eyed
her too vivid cheeks with open admi
ration.
“Pardon me. nmdaui.” lie said po
fltely. “Don't you mean cream for
preserving the complexion?"
And the delighted lady bought six
boxes right away.

“Maybe so, but U looks to me like
