The most Vital ami inexcusable
errors a legislative laaiy can com
mit i> to |«iss a law containing a
•iiscnr-jraiK-y in tlie date it shall
take effect. Tlie democratic con
i. ress tneorjairated just such a
blunder in tl«e “war tax" law.
SwUue gl of this law declares
that "the stamp taxes prescribed
on Uie articles provided for iu
^schedule B sliall attach to all such
articles thirty days after the aji
pruval <>f (lie act."
•schedule B itself, however, pro
vided that "all articles and prejia
raUoas provided for which are in
tlie hands «»f manufacturers or
• ieahrrs ■« !Vcember 1. lull, 'hall
be subject to tlie payment of the
stamp taxes herein, etc.
The two pro* I'iutis are absolute
ly isiQtradietory. \\ lien tlie
tieasury department came to en
force the law it was unable to har
ui -mze tie- two conflictitig dates,
f ingn-ss had adjourued and it was
impossible to correct the blunder
by pri>per legislative action.
A bo. -d interpretation was the
only alternative. Tie-department
arbitrarily fixed tlie date of en
forcement. virtually assuming a
f .!«-t *n that belonged only to the
legislative laaiy.
The whole subject of financial
legislation seems to have been a
!a!ai stumbling Mock to the demo
crats. While they have bluudered
in scores of oilier important
measures, this tendency lias l**en
'l*ecudi> emphasized in every
statute dealing with tile receipt or
exje-ndilure of money u> conduct
toe affairs of government.
The last congress icissed three
laws notably designed to raise
ui -ie-y. UisU tiie tariff law: second,
tlie iij>-otDe tax law : and third, the
“war lax**. It is significant that
tne revenues from each fell short
of ll» amount needed, thereby
ismiribut ing to tlie treasury deficit,
aid .i ts i*-d to a mass of exf**nsive
litigation las-a use the legislative
intent . on Id lie determined only
by ju ltcai interpretation.
I'irn- isu inconsistency border
ing <ai hypocrisy in tlie demand
for tie- purchase of articles '‘Made
ra-Au»en<-*’ when we also advo
. ate throw mg down the tsars which
haie kept o it of our markets
g.-si* made in <iermany. or made
in Kngiatsd. or made in Italy. It
i> » very plain and simple proposi
tion which has been recognized by
tlie majority of tlie |ieople of the
I'nited Mate* in etery election ex
cept two since Abraham Lincoln
stated ihe fact. in his plain and
simple language when he said that
if »f buy an article from a Kuro
l«-aii producer, we get the article,
and ’lie resident of Euro|ie gets
tl»e money, while if we buy from
an A lie ri< an producer. we get the
article and also keep the money.
In an effort to pacify the
fanners, tie- democratic press as
serts that taking off the duty of
live cents a dozen and admitting
7g.ooo.ooo eggs free of dul.\ did
not red.ee the price the farmer re
ceives. If tie* imjMirtation of 7i,
<«mi.o>«> egg* didn't injuriously
»s.iujiete with tin-American farmer,
why did tlie < 'liinese producer
send tin-ui lien* after the tariff was
removed, but not la-fore? It i.s
true tlie imported eggs are small in
«ize and ileieriorated bv age. but
so much tin- worse, for they serve
that much more effectively in bold
ing down tlie price the farmer re
ceive* for good eggs.
Tin* administration will ImnJI.v
waste tuu** Irving to explain away
tl»e increase in the cost of living in
lull a compared with IUI3. The
Statistics are its own. The demo
cratic tariff went into effect in
< tet<4a*r mu. I Ia* war broke out
in Augo«t 1914. Tliere were ten
and a half months of uninterrupted
o|i|M>rtunity for the democratic ad
noiustralcoii to fulfill its pledge
of irtlucwd oist of living. It
failed s«. completely that it de
f.-ii.d pul iication of comparative
rrlaii pii-vs until June. 15114.
l»e«iio, ratic new>paj»ers are in
sisting that republicans shall uot
dwu» politics while controversies
with foreign countries are land
ing. but they lose no opportunity
to give widest publicity to every
political s| *»*»■<• h made by members
of the president’s cabinet. By
what right do democrats claim the
exclusive privilege to talk politics?
"However much we may differ
as to the exact character of the
causes, this much is certain: That
in this country prosperity has in
variably accompanied protection,
while business and industrial de
pression have just as invariably
gone hand in hand with free trade."
This statement, made on the floor
of the senate in September, 1913,
by Senator Sutherland of Utah,
proves that statesman a true
prophet. The sooner we stop
theorizing and get back to the
basis of protection and prosperity
the better it will be for American
lieople and American interests.
The national treasury* statement
for Saturday. June 26, showed a
balance of only S3o.922.765.();> on
hand as compared with a balance
of >142.527.743.4 s. covering the
same items, in 1913,when republi
can laws governed revenues and
disbursements. The deficit June
26 was SS6.932,983.63 for ordinary
disbursements and Si 15,268,367.7*!

AS THE EDITOR SEES IT.
Wo want the farmers to come
to tli<* olfice and see us when they
come to town, and we have a two
fold object in extending this invi
tation. We want to keep in touch
with each and everyone of you
and we want you to tell us the
news of your res|R>ctive neighbor
hood* for publication in the paper.
Everyone of you has an item or
two of which others want to learn,
and if each one of you hands in
the news when you come to town
you will all know everything of
imjxirtance throughout the whole
community. Come and see us.
Sometime* we run across a itor
so n who always lias a wail because
Ins neighbors have plenty and he
has nothing. And if we could
just follow them to the end of their
•areers we would probably find
the neighbors continuing in the en
joyment of plenty while the wailer
drift* along with hi* accumulation
of nothing. And then if we cared
to dig down and exhume the cause
we would doubtless find the neigh
bors working and improving their
opportunities while the wailer
carelessly allows his to flit by.
At least that is to way it appears
to us.* and it is so simple we be
lieve it to lie true.
M lien the editor approaches the
avenge citizen in his quest for
news he is invariably told that the
citizen “doesn't know a thing,’"
and that answer is about as near
I lie truth as the nat ions of Europe
are to effecting a prompt settle
ment of their differences. Every
Laly knows something, and most
jreople know a lot of somethings
that are worth telling and would
make breezy and newsy stories,
but they just bottle it up in the
walls of their dome and forget that
it is there. Sometimes the editor
i' able t<> pry it loose word for
word until he gets the story, when
it would be the easiest and simplest
tiling in the world to let it ail out
in a rush. I’ull the cork, brother,
and let out the contents of your
intellectual bottle and we will pass
it on to others who are thirsty for
news. \ou know a plenty, if you
«>nly know that you know it.

THE REAL AMERICAN HEIRESS
A Worthy Standard of Conduct the
Only Imperishable Heritage.
To know that one’s forebears wen
people of refinement, of culture, ot
gentle breeding, instead of inspiring
arrogance should challenge the best
that is In one, lest he fall short as a
representative of those in whose per
ons these graces once flowered,
writes Ruth McEnry Stuart in Harp
■r's Bazar.
An inherited standard of life—let us
put that down in our list of blessings.
And for all Inherent good which has
come down to us as a benediction,
without the asking, and which may
lie held only in trust as a sacred re
sponsibility, let us delight to give
tliauks.
We American women, then, will tel'
10 our children any true story of prow
ess. of chivalry, of long patience and
reverent waiting—of any great qual
ity which has found expression in
lives of any of their ancestors—so
that they may know themselves thus
endowed with the o..ly imperishable
heritage. The daughter, the grand
daughter, who comes by direct line
into such an inheritance is the rea'
American heiress.
She may not have a dinner gowrn to
her name, or be “up’ in the etiquette
of fashionable life. Perhaps she is not j
even a person of leisure, much less
a member of the "leisure class.” If so. :
so much the better. So much more }
hopefully has she her life in her own
hands.
SURELY HAD MONEY’S WORTH.
Uncle Hod Had Coine Ear to Get It—
and He Got It.
There being no dentist ia the little
town where he resided lu.o Hod
Rowdvbnsh had gone to the county
seat to have an aching tooth ex
tracted. "I see it's one of your large
molars.” said the dentist at whose ci
lice he called, "and it will come pretty
hard. Don't you think you'd better
take gas?"
"I don't know,” answered Uncle
Hod. "Does it cost anything extra?”
"Yes, it will be two dollars if you
take gas and one dollar if you don''."
‘How long does it take to pull it
that way?”
"It won't seem any time at ail to
you. You go to sleep and vo '. seem
to wake up immediately and the tooth
is out."
“And I don’t feel it come out?"
"Not a particle.”
Unde Hod reflect”.1.
“Well," he said "I’ve come _7 miles
to have this tooth pulled at. ! think
I'm entitled to the satisfaction of
km wing when you yar.k it out—to
nothin’ of savin’ a dollar. I don’t want
no gas."
From the manner in which 1'ncle
Hod groaned dvr'”' the sub-- yient

Let Radcliffe Build It
Be Sure of
Your Plans
When you get plans
for the new house be
sure that you under
stand them thorough
ly. Some builders go
by rule of thumb and
think that they can
explain to the owner
what he wants better
than if they took the
trouble to make a blue
print of the building.
It is Sure to
CauseTrouble
If you think you are
getting one thing and
the builder has a diff
erent idea, and the re
sult is that the work
is to be done over or
else you are very dis
appointed in some
part of your house.
Let me explain my
system of making
plans and you will be
convinced that it is
the only way.

It Can’t Sting.
The editorof an Illinois exchange
is a public benefactor and when he
dies the people of his country ought
to erect a monument as big as a
hay- stack to the honor of his
memory. He has discovered a new
way to get rid of mosquitos. He
tells you simply to rub alum on
your face and hands. When the
mosquito takes a bit it puckers
his gazoopie so it can not sting.
Then it sits down in a damp place
tries to dig the pucker loose,
catches its death of cold and dies
of pneumonia.

YODLERS MAKE HIT IN LINCOIN.
The Yodle’s,—Alpine Entertain
ers, who will lie here on our Chau
tauqua program this summer, at
Lincoln, Nebraska last summer
and gave what proved to be one of
the most unique and most ap
preciated entertainments of the en
tire year. The following is taken
from u Lincoln, Nebraska paper:
“World famous song-birds reen
gaged. Hirschhorn's Alpine En
tertainers drew such a large and
enthusiastic audiences at Capital
Reach last week that the manage
ment has engaged for another
week.
“They will give two entertain
ments every evening in the air
dome. Never before have such
crowds gathered to witness a one
act entertainment as have gone to
hear those noted song-birds of the
Alps.
“Mr. Hirschhorn with his
Zither selections certainly proves
himself a master of the instrument.
11 is equal has never been heard
here. The vocalists are repeatedly
showered with applause.”
Miss Edith Storey who has the
part of Glory Quayle in the play
was selected for the part after all
of the prominent stars of the mo-j
tion picture world had lieen con-1
side red and rejected. Miss Storey j
chanced to be the particular type of
women for the part, and when her
many successes were taken into ac
count, it was decided to entrust
her with the biggest role ever
given a woman star. Miss Storey
appears in nearly every scene of
the play and no time does her work
suffer in the slightest from over
work.
“The Christian” with Miss
Storey and Earle Williams as John
Storm will be seen at the Daddow
theater on July 12, 10 and 25c.
Starts at 8 p. m.
