The democrats boasted during the campaign we wrill reduce the cost of living, “we will take the taxes off the people.” The Wilson administration jammed the Underwood tariff law through congress and in one year more than three million men were out of work, the cost of living was higher than ever before, and it has since steadily increased. The next day af ter the Underwood tariff law was passed Mr. Underwood said it "would do four things: 'reduce the cost of liv ing would not disturb the business of the country, wrouId increase our for M. C. MULICK Democratic Candidate for Sheriff of Sherman County. eign trade, and would collect revenue sufficient to run the government. It has done none of these things, so glibly promised. The Underwood tariff took from the dutiable list and put on the free list cattle, sheep, wool, beef, mutton, corn, eggs, milk, and cream. It put wheat and potatoes on the free list condition ally. It reduced by about 60 per cent the tariff rates on horses, poultry, oats, hay, cheese and butter. These reductions were followed by a great increase in importations into the United States of foreign farm pro ducts. The increase for the fiscal year 1914, nine months of which was under the Underwood law7, over the year 1912, was $140,000,000. These importations broke the farmers’ mar ket all over the country. Wheat in American markets declined about fif teen cents per bushel; corn declined about 10 cents per bushel; cattle and sheep declined in price. The demo cratic theory was that reduced tariff duties on farm products would bring foreign farm products into our mor kets to force down prices to the con sumers. Foreign products did come and the price to the farmers wras forced down. But the prices of food products to the consumer were not reduced. The only beneficiaries of the reduction were the foreigners who shipped the products, and the im porters and market manipulators who received them. They did not sell more cheaply to the consumer but their margin of profit was greater. While prices of live stock to the farmer de clined, prices of meats to the con sumer steadily advanced. The high cost of living continued and has in creased ever since. The law did disturb business but the president declared it was only a “psychological condition.” The Underwood law did not proluce revenue enough to pay the, expenses of the government, and a democratic congress was compelled to pass the Stamp Tax Act, in time of peace, as a makeshift supplement to the law. Our foreign trade has increased hut the increase has been in munitions and supplies for the warring European nations. What will happen when peace is declared in Europe and the war orders cease? The democrats, facing now the sit uation which every one knows will exist at the close of the European war have attempted to quiet the fears of the farmers and the business world by their so-called tariff board, costing $300,000 annually. The question is not what a tariff board may recommend, but whether a congress elected next November believes in protecting American industries, or making a tar Henry B.

It is an old saying ttiat two heads are better than one, and on the same principle two heads together are bet ter then when they are facing in op posite directions. It will pay us to keep our heads together in this town, for the good of Hie town and each in dividual in the town. When we are facing in opposite di rections and pulling apart we get no where and accomplish nothing. The result of our labors is a cipher. But not so when we get our heads together. Not so when we act as a community and not as individuals. Not so when we all face a definite object and pull until we get there. It is good to keep our heads to gether. We learn each other’s ideas and ambitions and thoughts, and from this knowledge springs the impetus that brings success to an community. Let’s get our heads together in this town, and keep them there. Scalds, Galls, Scratches.

Many intelligent and well-meaning citizens, deceived and quisled by the prohibition cry “Make Nebraska Dry,” believe that the adoption of the prohibitory amendment will make Nebraska “dry” and banish alcoholic beverages from the state. That this belief is a delusion and unfounded in fact is proven by the official promises and statements of the * organization which framed the Nebraska prohibitory amendment and is leading the campaign for its adoption. The “Nebraska Dry Federation” in its official argument in support of the amendment filed with the Secretary of State says: “The proposed amendment does not ATTEMPT TO DEAL with the HABITS AND APPETITES of our citizens.” This is an astounding statement coming from the organization which is imploring citizens to “vote Nebraska dry” and endeavoring by every means to persuade citizens to believe that the adoption of the amendment will make Nebraska “dry*” The prohibition advocates admit that the amendment is not intended to reduce either the USE or the ABUSE of alcoholic beverages. It is not intended to keep alcoholic beverages from the drunkard nor the boy. But it is A PROMISE that under pro hibition every person may USE or ABUSE these beverages in any degree so long as they follow the “MAIL-ORDER PLAN” and send their money OUTSIDE THE STATE. I I The statement deserves repeating: “NO ATTEMPT TO DEAL WITH THE HABITS AND APPETITES OF OUR CITI ZENS." Can anyone be deluded into the belief that this will make Nebraska “dry?” that it will improve conditions and foster tem perance when its only command is—“Use all you want—but buy it outside the state?" Kansas has tried this method and has suffered the penalty of increased intemperance, increased crime, juvenile delinquency, pauperism and in creased taxation. The result of this system of “mail order” and “alley joint” distribution of alco holic beverages in prohibition states is forcibly illustrated in the following extract. From the Wichita (Kan.) “Beacon” of September 20, 1916. The “Beacon” says:— "A young man suffering with a severe back strain called at the office of a Schweiter building physician a few days ago for treatment. While the doctor was attending him he told how he was injured. 'I work in one of the railway freight warehouses he said. 'Last week we got a little behind with the unloading of liquor cars. We unloaded one a day that week and this left us with three cars to unload Monday. I was hustling along with the other workmen and strained by back trying to lift a barrel of whiskyThe workman told the physician that the railroad for which he worked brought from seven to ten carloads of beer and whisky to Wichita every week." These conditions are offered to Nebraska by the advo cates of prohibition,—not a “dry” Nebraska but a Neb raska flooded with an unrestricted supply of alcoholic beverages for the intemperate and the minor as well as all others.

WILLIAMS Republican Candidate for Sheriff «f Sherman County, IT ISN’T EVERYBODY. It isn’t everybody who can observe the Golden Rule, and it isn’t every body that tries. It isn’t everybody who thinks of others while he is thinking of self, and mighty few ever try. It isn’t everybody who goes through life returning good for evil, and out side of the preachers we don’t know of a single one who tries. Now do you? NOTICE TO AUTO DRIVERS. Numerous violations of the city laws have been noted of late, such as fast driving, no lights, carelessness in keeping to proper side of street, unnecessary use of the cut out, caus ing unnecessary noise and smoke. These violations are going to be rigidly watched and the law enforced in the future. The speed law is 12 miles per hour within the city limits and six miles per hour over crossin 7s, and all vio lators of these ordinances can look for arrest and prosecution. These laws will be enforced in the residence districts the same as in the down town section. By Order of the City Council. A dollar spent on subscription, brings j you ten In wisdom. Be wise!
