Many newspaper) editors1 and reviewer: have been discus-.ing Sindaiiwlivwis. df lale. and fKirtieiilarly his refusal tf the Pulitzer prize of $1,000. This author made a name for iimeif in the writing of Main Street, one of the most discussed book of the day. lie seems to have fallen down a little on Babbitt,! his next book, and Ihe one published last year, Arrowsmith, a' great many people think was not art but drivel. This is Ihe book that won Ihe prize. We rather incline to the idea thai Lewis was ashamed of his own efforts and knew f hat the Pulitzer committee whs making a mistake in awarding him the prize, hence he refused it. However, Lewis can afford to refuse a thousand dollars and the popularity of his books has beeiusuch that he does not need the advertising which" he is accused of seeking. Here iis what the Toronto Globe editorial writer says of him and hi lalesl move: r r . What Was Reason? Toronto Globe Asks. "The awards for 1025- of the Pulitzer Prizes in lileralure have been announced, and Sinclair Lewis, who won ,the 1.000 given for fiction on the strength of his novel, "Arrowsmith," has declined to accept the money. His refusal has been deemed worthy of being telegraphed lp every daily newspaper m the continent of America. This fact in itself will no doubt give hun advertising worth many thousand of dollars. But Ihe public at large, and especially many struggling authors, will wonder whether Mr. Lewis' rejection of Ihe award is a desire for advertising or merely the result of "big head," or both. His reason for scorning the decision in his favor is because Ihe terms of competition demanded a book "best presenting the wholeoine atmosphere of American life and the highest. standard of American manners and manhood.'' This means, lie contends, that the judgment is not a finding on the literary merits of the volume. That is very likely so, or Mr. Lewis might not have heen declared the winner. , "Sinclair Lewis, it will be remembered, gained qu celebrity as the author of "Babbitt." Why, no one tile a wide ever could explain. It was a dull book, filled with dull representations of .4. .11- -I J .

But. puffed op wijb his financial success as an author, he essayed other flights. He look to the platform as a professional champion of atheism, and to audiences pre sumably or free-lhinkers"hurled insults at religion and the, Deity. . . , New York Sun . - - Does. Jts, Bit. ; ..

This is how The New York Sun deals with his infamous effort: " 'A, generation ago every American hamlet hail a village uttieist, as well as a village idiot. Until yesterday, when the news canie'that Sinclair Lewis had 'defied the Ieity' in a Kansas City cl'nirch, we had believed thai the roaring atheist of vore had become rarer than Ihe idiot, or in many cases shared single identity with that unfortunate. Pabre does not tell us that insects have cosmic thoughts, but we can imagine a devastating and provocative cockroach creeping lo the roof of a tenement hnuseion a starlit night and defying Betelgeuse or Alde-baran to come down and bum him up, and saying to himself when destruction did not ensue: 'Re didn't dare try it!"' V'And thai is the writer, w'ho , was awarded a prize for Ihe booK which "be.t presents the wholesome atmosphere of American life and Ihe highest standard of American manners and manhood !' Can any one feel surprise that Mr. Lewis shocked?" was. Eat it Eveiy Day SHREDDED WHEAT Supplies the necessary bran FALLACIES OF HIGH TARIFF Number of Claims Made by Advocates Answered by, Anyox Writer (By I). J. Sullivan. Anyox, H.Cf Tariff protection is masqueraded as a means by which imports may h regulated, and the markelsconlrolled. when in reality it i a conditional subsidy t!i. -it differ, from a straight bonus only because the beneficiary makes the collection. This sub sidy is paid by the consumers wluyi making; purchase, the manner in which all invisible taxes ate satisfied. A-tax on imports (.tariff like other taxes, is a price-increasing factor, the effect of which de pends on the question of price control of the article upon which it is placed. As an instance, a tariff levied on wheat, live slock, etc., would have a different ef fect from one placed on shoes. tea, etc., not because or anyl change in the tax, which i neither protective or otherwise", hut because of the character of he articles. Tariff Sets Price Tliis tax establishes a price ovel for imported articles which are subject to duly, but does uot control the price of . the home products, consequently it does not restrict importations. For, any articles not on the prohibited list can be imported over any tariff, and importations for re sale can he made when the price f the home product is equal to or greater than thai of the imported article. For under such conditions the full tax is paid by Ihe consumer, whether he buys the home produced or the imported articles,, which permits of Importations on the basis of free JlideX' Ax example: alcoholic Hquors upon which there is a duty of ten dollars a pa I Ion Wliicli is about too per real ad valorem, has no more effect in restricting importations than if they came in JTree.- Automobiles, which had a duty of 33 per cent a 11125. yet in that year more than thirteen thousand passenger cars" were imported, an increase of more thai) five thous and- over the previous rear. Why? Because when the cars were imported and the duty paid tie prices were no greater than those of the home product of .ike quality, and importations continue for the same reason. Effects of Duty Importations may he control led; with or without a tariff, when the prices of the home products are kept below those of the imported articles, for it is this principle that protects Ihe mar-. ket and not a tax on imports tariff. The American shoe In dustry is protected by the prico jf shoes, and not by a tariff, for shoe are on the free list there; According to nrotectionisl theor ies that country of high subsi dies tfhould he flooded with foreign made shoes, hut it is not. As a further illustration, an ar ticle imported for re-sale with a duly of, say 50 per cent, valued at sir dollars, with, the tariff added; would increase the price to nine dollars. If the. price of a similar? home produced "article was kept at six dollars, ji -would virtually prohibit importations. If, how ever, the prices were increased; according as Hie iucrease took place, protection would diminish, and when the price equalled that of the imported article, it would disappear. Iteverse the case and protection would he re-established, yet the tariff remain unchanged. The cost of production is an old "saw,"' and may he anything especially when the consumer Is compelled to pay it; for there is no standard by which it can bo properly measured. Designed as a Lure When the price, of an article upon which a tariff has been placed cannot be controlled, the consumer escapes the penally and the subsidy cannot be collected, therefore those who swallow, the bail of tariff protection should assure themselves that they can control the prices of their products, for it not, protection in n sop designed as a lure for raising (he subsidies to those industries wherein they neer fail lo collect. When a tariff area is as great as that of Canada, and the producers are so numerous as to render co-op eralion in marketing Ineffective, and when export prices rule the markets - supply and demand govern prices. It is thus with commodities ' such as' hutter. uss, etc., virtu- ally competitive selling I,reV wherein scattered products ails from the AtluiiM, lu Hip J'arfiic thousands of ami for this reason ,;reuntTol of ; tiroducliou, which ;y?4jnl ml to successful murkc'ting, i impossible. "-Kequenlly, uncontrolled produc-j lion and a Hiuled demand determine .price, wilh in the national bouudarie aufl render te tariff i on such artlcl a non-collectable , subsidy. For proof follow the market quotations and compare the prices nf Midi articles where they are likghly protected and where the markets are more ex-lenshe; with' those of this country along meridional line. For a larifrls of j.enefit to producers only when" jfiieprices of home( products CaiL lie increased aboCi jhe competitive pnees at the; border, or where an artificMl export prke bounty can he established. Where this cannot be! done the value of sueh a sop may be placed at naught. Only. Sane Course The only s-me .-ourse for pro ducers who cannot control the price to pursue, is to insist ouj a straight 4otiu- on their pro-; duds, fit a siilntaiituil reduction of lnvlshlelaxes. to which the' high cost of liiu. production,! and' markeUua can be traced and which the collectable subshlyj (tariff; on the -finished products, is the prinicpal factor.

Excite Duty A tariff shmdd he levied for Ihe purpose of ihcreasmg the prices of imported articles, so that the home prices could be kenj at a level lw enougti to secure the bulk, of the trade, and yet with profitable return . or for revenue, therefore, an Kxci lax should ba levil on the pro duct- of pulotdited induslrien when Ihe price tnceed say 15 per cent of the declared value of sim ilar article, iuiorted undw the lowest tariff chehile. This would exempt from special tax ation articles upon which a tariff of 15 per rent or le was levied, and wodhl mean praeticat protection, with a limited That a high tariff is necessary lo protect wages ami to maintain a high standard of living is a protectionist claim. While it may he admitted that the collecti ble subsidies urn divided with the workers by inereain the wase miles, tbe pntilio. and not the in- diulriatiMs. pay the increases. Effective Answer v An answer to that argument i: that 4iie Canadian goldminers are working in competition with the Kaffirs of the Witwaters- rand; that the copper producers re competing with the natives of the llelgian ikiiigo; that Ihe fishermen and the producers of the forest products, have, as rivals in me mnrveu. ipo-ewf-lln; same calliis in Other parts of the world; that . the producers .of wheat,, lie ldck, e(ci niul openly conipftti; with;, tlioe of other couiilHe,tniiu,dn!'ach case tlieir incomes are virtually regu me proiecied industries, iiy a tariff subsidy.
