Penniless and hungry, the stranger came to Father Borer's home one bitter day last winter.

Use Bee want ads speedy results The effect upon American industry being the most important question in the minds of men who are drafting the new tariff law, it is essential that spokesmen for industry let their repre sentatives in Congress know what they think the effect of the proposed schedules will be. In order to help the Senators, who are toiling so diligently during these torrid weeks in Washing, ton, THE LITERARY DIGEST has asked a number of representative trade journals to tell just what effect they believe the schedules under consideration will have on their respective indus tries; whether they will help to restore prosperity, and whether they will tend to raise or lower prices. These opinions covering a wide field of industry are presented in the leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST; this week. While the Manufacturers News, Chicago, thinks that tfce Fordney bill may have its weak spots and that "it may be well to iron out some of its schedules," nevertheless, "the principle back of it apparently has the approval of nine-tenths of the factory owners of the land," it seems to Raw Material, New York, that the Fordney bill "appears to have no friends at all, but enemies by the millions." Retail Selling, Oklahoma City, asserts that a tariff like the one being drafted "will greatly increase the cost of living." These are but typical of many opinions expressed in this informative rrticle.

By E. C. SNYDER. Waihlngton .'orrnpndiit Omalia Be. Washington. Aug. 18. (.Special Telegram.) Representative Green, in a spirited colloquy today in the house, answering attacks made by democrats on the provisions repeal ing the excess profits tax ar.d re rlnrinor the hichcr surtaxes. i'i turn attacked their position aacl showed their inconsistency. He pointed out that every cue 01 lir thrrp secretaries of the treasury under President Wilson and the pres ident himself had recommendid tne repeal of these taxes and given sound miH rnapnt reasons for their reDeal. He called attention to the fact that Mr. Cox. their candidate in the elec tion, had gone all over the country fWlarintr that if he was elected the excess profits tax would be repealed and the surtaxes on the nigner in comes reduced to a reasonable level. He read from the democratic plat form showing that it denounced the not carrying out these recommenda tions. Says Tax Unfair. Discussing these provisions, he said that the excess profits tax ought to be repealed because it was unfair in its workings, penalizing thrift and ceouomy, and encouraging waste. He then showed by treasury statistics that it was not, as a rule, the big corporations, which were generally over-capitalized, that paid the excess profits tax, but on the contrary this tax bore more heavily upon the small corporation. lie also showed by treasury figures that the returns from the high surtaxes were rapidly dwindling until the Treasury depart ment had stated that it would not be long before they would entirety dis appear. The reason was, of course, that those subject to the high sur taxes were putting their money into tax-exempt securities, of which now from $16,000,000,000 to $1 8,000,000, 000 are issued. Poor Man Protected. The only way to make this money subject to taxation, according to treasury experts, is to reduce these surtaxes to a point where the great fortunes would be invested in bus iness operations rather than in tax exempt securities and that it was the opinion of every treasury expert that in the long run the government would realize far more in this way than by continuing the present taxes. He demonstrated how the man with a total income of $7,500 would be benefited by the increase in the exemption of $500 which he had caused to be inserted the bill, and said that under this bill this would ) tip .inlv natinn in thp world where the poor man paid no tax on neces sities of life, for all taxes of that kind had been removed. Deshler Plays Big Role at Big Pageant Staged in Superior Superior, Neb., Aug. 18. (Special.)

The Coy Scouts had the post of honor in greeting the gover nor. The fife and drum corps just "drummed their heads off" at the G. A. K. reunion in Lincoln park rnd some of the soldiers of the '60s 'anced to their stirnng music. Women of the Baptist chi'rcli served dinner to Grand Army. One hundred and fifty canvaa cots were scattered' around the park. The beauty and realism of the pageant has taken thc entire country by storm.
