PATRIOT WITH HUMOR
IS CHAMPION OF AMERICAN PRO
TECTIVE TARIFF LEAGUE.
Appeal of Inspired Prophet Reveals
Straits to Which Friends of Mo
nopoly Have Been Reduced
- President Called "Traitor. "
Wilbur E. Wakeman of the Ameri
can Protective Tariff league , thrills ,
beguiles and delights us. To be sure ,
we have never heard of Wilbur before
this , but we are hearing a great deal
now. Wilbur is doing big things , real
izes that himself and tells Mr.
Hearst's New York American all
about it. Wilbur declares that he is
deluging nineteen congressmen with
telegrams Urging them to vote against
reciprocity. To 'be sure , the names
signed to some of the telegrams be
long to prominent citizens who
weren't consulted by Wilbur when he
sent the telegrams , but Wilbur is too
busy a patriot just now to bother with
details.
Feeling that by any other name he
were as persuasive and seductive , Wil
bur Is beseeching these nineteen
statesmen , for the love of heaven'and
the American Protective Tariff league ,
to defeat the reciprocity agreement.
In this Wilbur is certainly spreading
out the undeserving American Pro
tective Tariff league to the vulgar ,
censorious , even hostile gaze. And
he Is full of stirring though trite-
patriotic rhetoric , too. For example :
"We who realize how this country
has been built up under this wise
economic policy will not stand idly by
and see the country plunged into in
dustrial and economic confusion. "
We hope that some of that splendid
sentiment found its way into Wilbur's
telegrams. Wilbur has also decided
that President Taft is a "traitor" to
the American Protective league and
cannot be again nominated for presi
dent. Then listen to this glowing ,
intoxicating , inspired prophecy :
"Vice-President Sherman , in my
opinion , will lead the Republican hosts
of protection to victory in 1912. 'Sun
ny Jim , ' prince of good fellows and
protectionists , will be our candidate. "
It is nice to see how unconsciously ,
perhaps sub-consciously , Wilbur refers
to "good fellows" and protectionists
as synonymous. Next , perhaps , to
Patriot J. Pierpont Morgan himself ,
"Sunny Jim" Sherman woukl inspire
more enthusiasm in the breasts of the
Republicans yes , Democrats too
than almost any man we can think of.
We should like very much indeed to
know something more about Wilbur.
It is too bad to lose sight of a patriot
so redolent with unconscious humor
and hilarious entertainment. If the
enemies of the American Protective
Tariff league had picked-out a man to
do the league as much damage as pos
sible , in the most insidious and ef
fective way , they could have done
nothing so good as Wilbur. He is
more than a calamity. He is a
"scream. " Detroit Journal.
Though twenty-one republics have
bestowed a medal on Andrew Car
negie as a "benefactor of humanity , "
it will be recalled that he has been
a good deal more successful as a
maker of armor plate than as a
maker of peace.
Hypocrisy , Not Statesmanship.
The senate will remain , the judge of
the elections , returns and qualifications
of its members if they are elected by
direct vote of the people under the pro
posed amendment. The' Fourteenth
amendment will remain unchanged by
the new amendment. It was not until
1866 that congress ever undertook to
regulate the election of senators , and
this was a reconstruction measure that
would never have been passed but for
the Civil war. In the light of these
facts the claim that congress would be
surrendering a great and necessary
power if the direct election amendment
should be adopted as drafted by the
house seems to be grounded more deep-
1 , in hypocrisy than in statesmanship.
The real object of this outcry is not
to protect the present power of con
gress which has acquiesced for a gen
eration in the nullification of the Four
teenth amendment but to incite south
ern opposition to the direct election
3f senators.
Should Join Democrats.
Insurgent senators are reported
from Washington to have demanded
and been refused the status of a sep
arate party in the composition of
committees. In this refusal the Re
publican committee of committees is
reputed to reflect the wishes of the
president. The president is unwise.
The insurgents are more nearly in line
with him than the regulars are. But
we do not particularly blame the rep
resentatives of the regulars for their
action. They cannot expect to enjoy
the privileges of membership in the
dominant party and also share as a
separate organization in the distri
bution of good things. On the whole
we believe they would consult their
own Interests and the interests of
their constituents if they would join
the Democrats and make that the ma
jority party in the senate.

nexation talk is "bosh. " It's inoppor

SOMETHING TO THINK OVEF
Official Figures Concerning Wool In
dustry Gives Little Weight to
Claims of Protectionists.
The preliminary census statement
in regard to the wool industry shows
a great growth in almost every de
partment of the business. There has ,
however , been a decrease in the num
ber of establishments , due to the
tendency toward concentration in
practically all forms of industry. As
a result the increase in the number
of employes since 1899 has been
comparatively slight , It being only 29
per cent. During the same period
there has been an increase of 62 per
cent , in capital and of 76 per cent
in product. This , of course , proves
a much higher per capita production
than that of 1899.
So there has been an increase of
wages. Just what this amounts "to
it is impossible to say , since in the
report wages and salaries are lumped.
Taking the total sum paid for wages
and salaries , and distributing it
among the wage earners , we find that
in 1904 there were 142,000 wage
earners , drawing a total ( including
salaries ) of $61,000,000 , as against
163,000 wage earners in 1909 , drawing
$79,000,000. The per capita wages
have increased from $429 to $484.
The amount paid in wages would
be somewhat smaller if that paid in
salaries was omitted.
Remembering that the main object
of a protective tariff is to maintain
the American standard of wages , * it
is a little disconcerting to know that
in this highly protected industry the
average wages are only $484 per
capita. Such wages can hardly be
called high. Many men in unpro
tected industries do much better. If
we take the other view , which is also
taken by some of the defenders of
high tariff taxes , that protection is
needed , not so much to make high
wages as to enable employers to pay
wages that are already high , it is still
to be said that no great amount of
protection should be needed to meet
this wage bill. Something seems to
be wrong with the application of the
principle of protection In this case ,
for the blessings supposed to flow
from it have not , apparently , reached
the "workingman who , as we all
know , is the individual for whose
benefit the scheme was devised. Has
there been a fair division of the
taxes which the people have so gen
erously voted to this great and thriv
ing industry ?
MERELY BUSINESS MATTER
Judge Gary's Explanation of Shut }
down Will Be Understood by
the Initiated.
The definite denial by Judge Gary
that the closing of work on the new
wire mill of the steel trust at Birming
ham was not an attempt to influence
the tariff discussion in congress , may
be taken as evidence of how sensitive
even large corporations are these days
to public opinion. It did not use to
be so. If a corporation thought it
could gain a point by flouting the
public in any way or by scaring it , it
went right ahead and did it. There
was no care for what the public might
say. It might howl all it pleased , but
the corporation merely laughed. It
never had to pay any attention to the
public , which really existed to be
milked. But there is a difference now.
The public has learned that it can
make it very uncomfortable for the
person who is doing the milking and
that it is possible even to kick over
the milk pail. That is why corpora
tions are more inclined to treat the
public with a certain amount of con-
siderateness.
Judge Gary does not disguise the
fact that the United States Steel cor
poration feels that if certain proposed
tariff legislation relating to steel du
ties should be enacted it might affect
disadvantageous the manufacture of
certain wire products. Therefore , the
local Birmingham officials were ad
vised to shut down on a part of the
work then underway. These orders
being misunderstood , all work was
closed down , but has now been re
sumed with the exception of the erec
tion of houses for workmen and the
equipment of the mills. But the judge
would have } t understood that this cur
tailment is not intended in any way to
influence congress. Certainly not.
Get In Motion !
Once the Democrats governed the
country for 40 years without interrup
tion by what the Philadelphia Record
calls not new nationalism , nor old fed
eralism , nor socialism , nor paternal
ism , but by the Jeffersonian doctrine
that seeks the greatest good that leg
islation and government can dp for
the greatest number. Now , after six
teen years' exclusion the party comes
back fresh from the people. It gives
indication , as we have endeavored to
reflect , of having the correct ideas as
to the needs of the time , and the in
tention of fulfilling them. The ques
tion still remains to be tested whether
it can translate intention into act
and that is always a great question
with a party or an individual. Certain
ly it seems that the safest way to it
is to get in motion. The program has
been well mapped out. The size of
the popular approval may be meas
ured by the fact that a Republican
house has been made Democratic by a
majority of G3 , while in the senate the
nominal Republican majority has been
reduced to nine , and It remains to be
seen how solid this will be. But the
test of everything is getting it done.
So action should be the watchword.

CURED ITCHING AND BURNING
"I was taken with the itch in April ,
1904 , and used most everything. I
had a friend pay me a visit from
Cumberland , and she advised me to
use Cuticura Remedies which I did.
The cure was certainly quick , and I
use them to this day. I had it terri
bly under my knees. I only used one
box of pills , but two boxes of Cuti
cura Ointment , and I use the Cuti
cura Soap all the time. I hope this
will benefit others , as it has me , after
Dr. and others could do noth
ing for me. " ( Signed ) Miss Lu John

In a later letter Miss Johnson adds :
"The trouble began with an eruption
under my knees , and extended up
wards toward my waist , until I was
not able to sit down. It kept a con
stant itching and burning all the time ,
night and day. I went to my doctor ,
but he could do me no good after I
do not know how many medicines he
gave me , and then told me I would
be compelled to go to a skin special
ist , which I positively refused to do. I
cried all -the time. Finally I made
up my mind to try Cuticura Rem
edies , and tried Cuticura Pills , Oint
ment and Soap , and was entirely
cured of the itching three days after
I started using them. The healing
took about eight days. I consider
Cuticura Remedies marvelous , and
would recommend them everywhere. "

REPATRIATED.
HE HAD $400.00 IN CASH IN 1903 ;
NOW WORTH $8,000.00.
My parents were originally Cana
dians from Essex County , Ontario. I
was born in Monroe County , Michigan ,
from which place I moved to Red Lake
Falls , Minnesota , where I farmed for
22 years. I sold my farm there in the
summer of 1903 and in September of
that year came to Canada with my
wife and eight children. I had about
$400 in cash , team of horses , a cow , a
few sheep and some chickens. I took
up a quarter section of land near Jack
Fish Lake , Meota P. O.f and later on
purchased for $2,000.00 an adjoining
quarter section. I have now 48 head
of cattle , a number of horses , good
buildings and consider my holding is
worth at least $8,000.00. My children
have raised from $300 to $500 worth
of garden truck each year since we
have been here. I have never had a
poor crop and have never had one
frosted. My wheat has averaged from
25 to 30 bushels per acre with one or
two years considerably more. My
oats have always yielded well up to 50
bushels per acre and once or twice as
high as 85. My cattle have never been
stabled in winter , and do not need it.
I consider that this country offers bet
ter opportunities for settlers than any
where I have ever been. I am sure
that almost any person can come here
and buy land at say $15.00 per acre
and pay for it in one crop. My ex
perience is that if a man farms his
land in the right way he is not likely
to have his crop frosted.
Most of the settlers in my district
are Americans and Canadians and I
know lots of them who came here with
little or no capital who are now do
ing well , but I do not know of any who
have left through disappointment , or
becoming discouraged , have returned
to their former homes.

the head of the house should know what
to do in the little emergencies that arise.

instances , as any doctor knows , the child
suffers from some intestinal trouble ,
usually constipation.
There is no sense in giving it a pill era
a remedy containing an opiate , nor Is
flushing of the bowels to be always rec
