BATES, Publisher SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PEE YEAR IN ADVANCE A flood of tears indicate troubled waters, :o: Mercy to the guilty is often cruel ty to the innocent. -:o:- Don't stare anyone out of coun tenance. It is hard on the nerves. :o:- When some men reach the top they help to set off the surrounding va cancy. :o: A writer says progress and inven tion is wiping out poverty. This is good news. :o:- The average man would rather lose $5 on a horse race than 5 cents through a hole in his pocket. -:o:- A man sometimes likes to be call ed brick, but refer to him as a com mon lump of clay, and he gets mad. :o: Action is asked by cemetery asso ciations to prevent couples petting there. It seems to be a grave prob lam. -:o: A German scientists is trying to obtain foods from wood. America al ready has managed to get drink out of it. Still, when it comes right down to a question of international law, the bombing planes, possibly doubt Amer ican property. -:o: One certainty about the brain con tests now coming into vogue is that they will not interfere greatly with the beauty competitions. -:o:- Text books will not be issued un til after the acceptance addresses have been delivered. These express the candidates' platforms. :o:- The latest instructions sent out by the Russian Soviet government to its agents in all countries fill twenty columns. These keep busy. . :c: Wait Whitman spoke of "the never-ending audacity of election persons." There must have been Sid- eners in the day back yonder. :o: Why bother the president in his Wisconsin White House with this La Follette business? It is purely a state matter and none of his business? :o: It is time the prohibition end of the government ended the carrying of firearms by its enforcing officials. Efforts in congress to investigate in to the killings of citizens failed. The drys would not have it so. :o: Pennies are in brisk demand as a medium of exchange in Nigeria, Af rica.. It is consoling to think these coins are esteemed somewhere, since American children long since have turned up their noses at them. :o: With ex-Senator Owen of Okla homa safely in the Republican fold the Grand Old Party may be sure of one thing: It will have a perpetual candidate for the nomination for president as long as Mr. Owen carries water to the elephant. :o: Cuba is to establish a meteorolog ical station to especially study hur ricanes. Our western states may be able to profit thereby as well as the southern tier. These unwelcome visi tors cost millions of dollars yearly, with loss of life. Thanks to Cuba. :o? The bureau of agricultural eco nomics is now blamed for its cotton report of 1927 which cost our cot ton growers $300,000,000 to $400,- 000,000. But rather blame the gov ernment for sending out crop esti mates. These are aids to speculators and do the growers no good. There Is no usury laws against in terest in politics. :o: Itinerant knife grinders are busiest when things are dull. :o: By common consent these national political conventions will be left as they are. :o: Every cloud has its silver lining. Col Stewart can continue to use the old business cards. :o:- Aviation hasn't yet made enough headway to justify people in neg lecting the matter of good roads. :o: About all Gov. Smith seems to have done to date is trade a few Democrats for a few Republicans. :o: Boys play for the fun of it, 'tis true, but having a big husky umpire seems to help the game along a lot, too. -:o: It beats the world how a woman's face beams with anticipation when ripping up something to make some thing else. :o: The Wabash man who mailed his Christmas cards in June may have had no almanac and been guided by the weather. :o: It is stid that the talking movies will do away, with beautiful but dumb screen stars. Then who will be left to act? -:o:- It takes a lot of idealism to make stockholders cjamor for the resigna tion of a crooked manager who is making them a fat profit. :o:- The boll weevil tried to break the Solid South and failed. We refuse to believe a bunch of bum losers and fake reformers can do it. National conventions always leave a group of men to be known in fu ture as having been prominently mentioned for the presidency. The yellow peril seems about to be reduced by a war between the Japs and Chinese. It looks as if we might be able to stay out of that war. :o: Science makes so many and such remarkable strides that we hope, be fore we die, to see a cantaloupe that might be described as being over ripe. :o: Agitation has again commenced over the adoption of a nation il an them. But why single out; we have several beautiful ones. We can vary as minded. -:o:- There are now about 11,000,000 receiving radio sets in this country with the number steadily increasing. These will soon catch up with the automobiles. -:o:- Men who complain about leading a dog's life never had a million fleas digging in, a dozen sores to lick and a bunch qf firecrackers added to their tail of woe. -:o:- Thirty thousand useful products are made from cereals, we learn, and we think it high time some scientist began to see if something useful can not be evolved from spinach. :o: The Constitution says that repre sentatives and direct taxes shall 13 apportioned among the people. , but history proves that we can Lnve the one without having the other. :o:- Now an expedition failed to find traces of Atlantic, known as the lost continent, somewhere between Africa and South America. This time in airships are to be utilized. When found we will all know. A PROTECTION MYTH Mr. Hoover has written a letter which appears in the Tariff Review, organ of the American Tariff League, asserting that the purchasing power of Amsrican wages is from two to ten times that of wages in Europe and Japan. He then says: "Among the vital forces which have brought about this result and maintain it i3 the protective tariff." The New Republic may be said t3 specialize in ' exploding protection myths, and it explodes this one. It is not a partisan publication. Upon the contrary, while denying that pro tection confers any such benefits up on the American people as are claim ed, it still denies that the tariff is an important factor in the undoing of the farmer. Answering Mr. Hoov er, it points out that the workers whose wages are- compared in his statement are railroad engineers, car penters, electricians, coal miners, weavers and common labor. The criterion is the number of pounds they will buy of a food unit consist ing of 95 per cent wheat flour and 5 per cent butter. It omits consider ation of rent, clothing, furnishings, and miscellaneous articles. It as sumes that all nations eat wheat flour and butter, which the New Re public thinks will astonish the Jap anese. Even so, there is no compar ison between American and foreign railway engineers, carpenters or electricians. Neither the railways nor the building industry can pos sibly be protected by a tariff, since foreign producers cannot invade our market for these services. Coal is on the free list. The New Republic says: All economists will tell Mr. Hoover that the tariff is a de vice to raise domestic prices of articles protected. If it is suc cessful in thus bentfiting the producers of these articles, it must correspondingly injure the consumers thereof. And if these consumers cannot be pro tected in their productive ac tivities, any effect of the tariff upon them must be a tendency not to raise but to lower their real wages. A tariff is agreed by all students to be an effort to subsidize the protected at the expense of the non-protected. Railway, building and coal are prime examples of industries which, like most of the farmers, are outlawed from our protec tive system. The New Republic thinks Mr. Hoover, who is an economist, should know this, and probably does. It therefore wonders that he will lend himself to the prepetuation of such a fallacy. Indeed, it is a fallacy which is being so generally pointed out by economists .' that the time must not be far ahead when none will dare assert it. It is not the tariff that affects wages. Figures of the International Labor Office show that for three Coolidge years 1925-2 S the wages of workers in Philadelphia averaged 82 per cent higher than in London; yet in 1914, according to the British Ministry of Labor, wages of the workers in New York averaged 87 per cent higher than in London. There was a low Democratic tariff in 1914, and in the period 1925-28 British industry was affected by the blight of the war. The wages of workers in free trade England are much higher than in stiffly protected France and Ger many. In truth, the belief that pro tection makes high wages, which this belies, and which economists not running for office are every where asserting, is an absurdity that needs only to be investigated to be routed. It has been routed by everybody who has looked into it, and the list is impressive. It in cludes some of Mr. Hoover's sub ordinates in the Department of Com merce. It also includes Mr. Wood-! lief Thomas, statistician for the Fed-! eral Reserve Board, who, with Prof. Edmund E. Day of Michigan, has written a monograph on the subject for the Census Bureau and delivered a paper on it last December before the American Economic Association. It includes as well Prof. Rexford Guy Tugwell of Columbia, who deals with the subject in his book, "In dustry's Coming of Age," and Prof. Dauglas of Chicago, whose papers on the subject have been frequently heard by scientifland economic or ganizations. It includes, too, observ ers and students from Great Britain, France, Germany and Australia. The New Republic has made a diligent study of all this material, which re veals that not a single authority, official or unofficial, cites the tariff even as a minor cause of high wages in the United States, Upon the contrary, all these au thorities agree that high wages in the United States are due to mass production, the great natural wealth of the country, superior management, and limited labor supply. The tariff can help the manufac turer, but not the worker. The wages of the American worker would be! the highest In the world whether we had a tariff or not. St. Loui9 Post Dispatch. :o: TIME TO SPEAK OUT A large number of editors of weekly newspapers are remaining singularly silent concerning the Presidential campaign. They either do not favor the party' nominees, or else they are afraid they will lose a few subscrib ers by coming out in open champ ionship of standard bearer. If actuated by the latter alter native, lean your first best ear over this way, brethern, and let us whis per therein. You won't. There may be opposition to the candidates among your subscribers, but if they are the sort of folks who yell "stop the paper!" simply be cause they do not agree with you, then you may well be rid of them. Furthermore, the great body of states admire and honor an editor who has the courage of his convic tions, even though they may believe his position is absolutely wrong. The editors have fought many bat tles in the past, and there may have been instances when we were on the unpopular side, but it never caused a loss of business. And, if it had, that would have been the least of our worries. In this campaign there can be no half way ground. There is no such an animal as a fifty-fifty Democrat Republican. You are either for the party or against it. It is high time to show your courage, otherwise you fall short of being a worthy repre sentative of Nebraska Journalism. -to:- The death of Robert Mantell does not remove the greatest of American tragedians but one of those close to the summit. Edwin Booth is accord ed place as the greatest of our trag edy players. John McCullough haa about the second place and Edwin Forrest, earliest of the stage giants, can never be displaced as the fore most of his time. Mantell, perhaps in versatility of repertoire, more than equalled any of the rest in the last two decades. The cult is passing. We have no more tragedians because we have no stage complex that demands perfection of tragic plays whether of Shakespeare or from any other au thor. Tragedy and its lines have given way to the blare of jazz and Red Hot Mamas." :o: Read the Journal Want Ads. NOTICE TO CREDITORS The State of Nebraska, Cass coun ty, ss. In the County Court.
