A blunder signalized the legisla tive career of the present adminis tration. The democratic tariff bill, fifst in the articles of democratic faith, and the one achievement on which naturally they would be expected to expend their most exhaustive study and care, was so clumsily executed that it failed to accom plish the results intended. The failure was due to crude, hasty, unscientific, secret legislative methods. Designed to furnish sufficient revenue to finance the United States treasury, it has proven ab solutely inadequate for that pur pose. In writing the tariff bill the democrats dimly foresaw a possible reduction in customs receipts, al though they did not know how much and did not ascertain the facts. So the income tax provision was incorporated, in the hope that it would make up for any miscal culations in the tariff bill, although the democrats did not know and did not ascertain the facts. But what happened when these pro visions went into effect. Customs receipts were millions of dollars below the amount needed from that source, and at the same time collections from the income tax fell many millions below the amount needed from that source. The inevitable result was to leave the treasury without sufficient money for its needs. The failure-was caused by care lessness. Had there been con scientious, open consideration oi the revenue bill, sufficient to en able members of congress to study ana unuerstanu it, tne reduction in revenue could have been properl.v safeguarded. But instead of get ting accurate information and ade quate estimates, the democrats guessed at it. And they guessed wrong. The results of this first mistake should have been a warning. But the startling fact remains that the democrats committed the same kind of an error again. Forced by their heedlessness to provide more revenue, they passed a “wai tax” in time of peace. Based on a guess instead of an estimate, the war tax did not produce money enough. For months the receipts of the treasury have been daily falling short of expenditures at a rate reaching at times more than a million dollars a day. According to official estimates the deficit will probably amount to one hundred million dollars by July 1, the end of the fiscal year. No chain is stronger than its weakest link. The fatal weakness that has characterized the work of this administration from its incep tion two years ago has been its eagerness to propose laws, care lessness in drafting them, haste in committee action, and stubborn re fusal to permit intelligent'amend ment in either house or senate after the party brand had been affixed by the all powerful caucus. Every American citizen has had I to help pay for these costly ex- J periments. There will be still; more to pay until the errors have j been corrected by thoughtful, in telligent legislation. Speaking to the members of the Associated Press, at its recent meeting in New York, the presi dent said that no nation is compe tent to sit in judgment upon an other. He was referring,of course, to the European war; but probably every man in thecompany thought at once of Mexico. The judgment ment which Mr. Wilson says no nation is competent to exercise is one which he has persistently at temped to impose upon Mexico. He hits declared that Mexico must have not only the kind of govern ment which he prefers, but that such government must be com posed, not only of the kind of men, but of the very men whom he fa vors. The judgment which he denies to a nation he reserves for himself. The habits of a life-time are not easily overcome—the schoolmaster's least of all. Trans-Atlantic steamship owners figure that the European war will save §275,000,000 to the American people by shutting off tourist travel. The tourist will enjoy su perior scenery and get the benefit of more healthful outings without carrying to foreign countries a quarter of a billion dollars of money needed by American enter prise. In effect, it is an applica tion of the principle laid down by Abraham Lincoln in his discussion of the tariff that if we buy goods abroad, we get the goods and the foreigner gets the money, while if we buy at home, we have both the goods and the money. American tourists will get both health and pleasure, and America will keep the $275,000,000. In private enterprise, explana tions and excuses don’t go. The employer of a traveling salesman doesn't want explanations; he wants orders. The manufacturer doesn't want excuses; he wants buyers. The employee who comes back with excuses instead of or ders, soon loses his job. The democratic administration has had many explanations for the busi ness depression that followed its accession to power. First it was “psychological,” then a '‘state of mind,” then finally the Eurojtean war furnished a plausible excnse. But the American people, like all good business men, want public servants who deliver results, not explanations and excuses. The former editor of the St. Paul Republican is now advertis ing manager for a big dry goods company, of Cedar Rapids, la. He advocates a percentage of ad vertising appropriation and by showing that 84 per cent of the failures in business are non-adver tisers proves that those who fail pay for the advertising the suc cessful firms use.—Aurora Regis ter. The post office department start ed a free employment bureau and then discharged hundreds of its own employees. Think of the irony of it. Secretary McAdoo is out of the hospital.but the democratic party’s case has been diagnosed as incur able. 1 ■ The Tornado Season is here! | Or had you forgotten it?

The high school base ball team played Ravenna last Friday. The score was three to five in favor of Ravenna. * Miss Opal VerValin and Miss Gertrude Kettle, were absent the first part of the week visiting rela tives in Hastings. All things originated from an idea, either good or bad, and these ideas originate at teachers’ meet ing Monday afternoon. Mrs. Burwell, Mrs. Corning and Mrs. T racy, visited the school dur ing .chapel last Tuesdey. Mrs. Burwell gave an interesting talk on conditions in Belgium. #Xext Friday afternoon the pu pils of the first primary and second grades, will have some of the work they have done this term on exhibit. They will also give a J May-pole dance. The circular flower bed which the freshmen made in their gar den is certainly a work of art. No more perfect circle could be found except for one exception. It is not round. The Agricult ure class is progress ing very rapidly in preparing their garden. This is agood work but we fear its results on the com plexions of both the teachers and pupils. This one unpleasant re sult of gardening might be easily overcome were it not that the value of flour is increasing. The entertainment given by the Wesleyan quartet last Thursday was well attended. It is impos sible to do justice to them bv de scription so we will only say it was fine. The juniors are well pleased with the high class entertainment which they were instrumental in bringing to Loup City. Their part of the proceeds will be used for the benefit of the junior class, and we hope the part received by Mr. Burwell will also be used in a good cause. The juniors report Mr. Burwell to be a most excellent but rather inactive partner. Farmers and Mule Breeders. The breeding of mules for farm use has been neglected in this sec tion for years. As a work animal it is conceded that the mule has no equal. Harry Obermiller, who lives just south of Schaupps, and who is an old-time and experienced mule breeder, announces that he j will offer for service this season. Prince Albert, a magnificent black Spanish .Tack. He is a big fellow: is 16 hands high and weighs 1,050 pounds. He is a jack of fine ac tion and has a record as a foal getter. The service fee is §10, and he will make the season at Mr. Obermiller’s farm, a quarter of a mile south of Schaupps. M r. Ober miller announces that he will make a specialty of breeding so-called barren mares. THE CHURCHES. German. There will be no services at the St. Paul German church until Sun day, May 23rd. No choir practice until Friday, May 14th. The Ladies’ Aid society meets Thursday, May 20th, at the home of Mrs. H. Dolling.

An Interview With Mr. Ford The following interview was given by Mr. Ford to one of the aggressive Ford ageuts, who returned to hisjiome and gave it to his terri tory in the following newspaper advertisement: This is the Most Important Advertisement I Ever Caused to be Published.—Read Every Word—and then Marvel! • On a personal visit to Mr. Henry Ford I broached the subject of a possible Au gust 1st Rebate. (Tin* Ford Company announced last year—as you well remember— that if their total sales reached 30X000 cars between August 1. and August l. I0ir». each purchaser during that period would receive back a refund of 240.00 to 2t50.<«0.) “Mr. Ford,” 1 suggested, “Is there anything 1 can say to our people with regard to the Ford Motor Com pany’s car rebate plan?” “We shall sell the 300,000,” was the quiet reply- ••and in 11 months ahead of August 1st!” “Then a refund is practically assured?” Yes—barring the totally unexpected. We are 50,000 to 75,000 cars behind orders today. Factory and branches are sending out 1800 daily.” 1 then said to Mr. Ford: “If 1 could make a definite refund statement we would increase our local saiesoOO ; cars.” "You may shy was Mr. Ford’s deliberate and signifi cant reply to this—‘‘You may say that we shall payback to each purchaser of a Ford car between August 1, 1914 and August /, 1915, barring the unforseen, the sum of $50. You may say that I authorized you to make this statement!” What can I add to the above? $15,000,000 in cash coming back to Ford owners! And to prospective Fqrd owners up to August 1, 1915, it actually means — Ford Touring cars for 9490.00—less the $50.00 rebate! Ford Runabouts for $440.00—less the $50.00 rebate! What is there left for me to say? A. C. OGLE Local Agent, Loup City, Neb.
