Not Responsible for Everything
The popular indoor and outdoor sport
of those statesmen and politicians who
are opposed to our national adminis
tration these days is to blame every
thing that goes wrong on to President
Hoover and the Republican Party.
That the seeds of the world-wide de
pression were sown in the World War
means nothing to them. Their memory
conveniently does not reach back so
far into modern history. That there
have been disasters all over the world
—disasters over which nobody in the
United States has any control—does
not deter them in their campaign of
smear. They apparently have no con
structive measures of their own for
curing our economic troubles, so have
decided that the best thing to do is to
make a lot of critical noise, on the
theory no doubt that it is much easier
to tear down a house than to build one.
In this respect there is fine irony
and sound logic in a paragraph in the
recently enacted Republican state plat
form for Nevada. Th-> paragraph, it
is said, was penned by a prominent
jurist of that state and it is worth re
peating, going directly ns it does to
the heart of the situation depicted
above.
The paragraph states:
“The Republican party refuses to
accept any responsibility for the
causes which plunged the clvijized
nations of the enrth into the World
War, for the riotous expenditures for
armaments by foreign countries which
brought about their unbalanced bud
gets; for unsafe loans made in Latin
America; for bolshevism in Russia;
for the eighteen revolutions which
have taken place in as many countries
since the World War; for the drought;
for the panic in Germany and the
economic collapse in Central Europe;
for England going off the gold stand
ard; for the Sino-Japanese war; for
the overproduction of coffee in Brazil,
copper in Africa, sugar in Cuba, rub
ber in India, and wheat in Canada.
Austrailia and the Argentine; and,
pointedly, the Republican party ac
cepts no responsibility for the loaning,
during the World War, to foreign
countries, of the enormous total of
thirteen billions of dollars without any
proper provision made for its security,
repayment and collection."
Here is a fgir and careful summing
up of the real origin of misfortunes
which have been blamed on to the
present administration. When they
appear catalogued in clear type the
criticisms against the administration
are shown to be so ridiculous that they
ought to be laughed out of the court
of public opinion.
NATIONAL AFFAIRS
By Frank P. Litschert
There can be no question that the
protectionists will welcome the chal
lenge if the question of tariffs is to be
an issue in the campaign. No part of
President Hoover’s acceptance address
aroused more widespread approval
among Republicans than his blunt
declaration in favor of the mainten
ance of the protective tariff principle
in American economic life. Following
this has come more recently a declara
tion affirming his faith in protectior
by Charles Curtis, the Vice President
ial candidate. In speaking of the tar.
iff, Mr. Curtis said:
“We should not only retain our home
market, but we should build it up anc
increase it as much as possible. Thu
is necessary not only to give Amerir
an labor employment, but also to pro
cure for agriculture a just reward foi
its labor. If the farmer can not sell
he can not buy. Likewise if America:
laborers are unemployed they can no’
buy and when these two are unable ti
buy there is a decline in the demanc
for American-made goods and for A
merican products.
“The extent to which the wage earn
ers of the country can purchase de
pends upon the extent of their employ
ment and the amount of wages eamec
by them. There must be an ability t:
buy, whatever may be the price, higl
or low, at which the thing desired i
sold. So the two great problems whicl
we must solve are to secure employ
ment for the unemployed and to mak<
a market for the products of the farn
and factory. The application of th<
principles of the American system o:
protection is necessary in order to keej
out of our country goods which com«
into competition with our home-madt
goods and home-grown products.”
For more than a year the free trad
ers inside Congress and out, those who
think more of our ten per cent foreigr
trade than our ninety per cent domes
tic commerce, have been making a
great ado about the Smoot-Hawley
tariff, which they have blamed for a
world-wide depression which came a
year before the law was enacted
They have announced from the house
tops their intention of making the
tariff an issue in this campaign. The
protectionists through President Hoov.
er and Vice President Curtis, have
accepted the challenge. If the free
traders want a battle on the issue they
are to have it.
But now that their ballyhooing
about low tariffs has succeeded in a
rousing rather than silencing the pro
tectionist sentiment in America, it is
doubtful whether the professional free
traders will be as anxious for a battle
on the subject as they at one time in
dicated. For even the wildest free
trader must realize down in his heart
that this is after all a protectionist
country. He must understand that
the American producer realizes the
difference in wages and living condi
tions in America and the rest of the
world, a difference which has raised
an American standard of living which
cannot be maintained without a pro
tective tariff.

EDUCATIONAL NOTES
The Educational Exhibit Hall at the
Chambers Fair Grounds was well filled
with School Exhibits and 4-H Club
work at the Fair last week.
Some of the work from the districts
surrounding Stuart was exhibited at
the Tri-County Meet in Stuart on last
Thursday. Many favorable comments
were heard regarding the fine exhibit
at both places.
All the Educational Work will be
placed on exhibit in O’Neill on the
day of the Fall Festival, which will
be held on October 12th.
The Annual Holt County Teacher’s
Institute will be held in O’Neill on
Thursday and Friday, October 13th
and 14th. Some exceptionally talented
instructors have been engaged and
plans are being made to carry out a
very helpful and interesting program.
School District number 251, of this
county, north of Middlebranch, opened
school Monday, September 5th with
an enrollment of thirty-one pupils,
seventeen in the High School grades
and fourteen in the Elementary grades.
Prior to this time this was a one room
rural school of the ordinary type.
There are a number of children in and
around the district who have passed
the Eighth Grade from one to three
years ago but who, due to crop fail
ures and poor conditions generally,
I have been unable to leave home to at
tend High School. The patrons of the
district discussed the matter and de
cided to bring High School opportun
ities home to their children.

A folding partition was placed ir
the building, windows and entries
were changed, thus making two pleas
ant. well lighted school rooms. Nec
! essary equipment was added to bring
the school up to requirements for an
Approved Two Room School. A good
sized barn has been provided to care
for horses driven to school. Approval
has been applied for. Latin, English,
Algebra, and World History are
taught in the High School this year.
Students will receive credit for their
work here the same as in any accred
ited High School.
Miss Frances Rotherham, of Ewing,
who has been employed to teach in the
high school has had three years of
college training and several years of
experience in approved high school
work. She already has the work well
organized and running smoothly. Miss
Geraldine Wanser, of Page, is teach
ing her second year in the grades.
Much credit is due the members of
the school board, F. L. Carey, Direct
or, Emil Block, Moderator and George
Rector, Treasurer, for their interest
and untiring efforts to have the build
ing ready for school on time. It will
not cost parents nearly so much to
keep their children at home and at the
same time they will have an equal op
portunity with city children.
