Democati and the Tariff.
The minority report filed by Senator Sim
mons of North Carolina, in which the pending
tariff meaiurc it energetically attacked, indi
cates that this Is to be chief of the iuei prened
during the approaching campaign. Senator Sim
mom it the leading democrat on the cnate
finance committee, and it directing the opposi
tion to the measure in the tcnate, along lines that
are expected to bring the maximum of effect at
the polls. No mistake thould be made as to
this. The campaign has been well planned in ad
vance, and will be carried out in order.
Jn his report Senator Simmons resorts to the
well worn argument that the tariff is simply an
inverted form of taxation, whereby money is
taken from the people and given to the favored
manufacturers. If this were true, it would ac
4 complish little more than certain phases of the
who recall the effect of the several drcrees.emit-
ted by Attorney General Palmer when he was
, undertaking to regulate the price of sugar will
appreciate the democratic idea. The senator a
' position it not sound, however.
j . A protective tariff securet the home market
( to home-made goods, provides employment for
1 American workmen at good wages, enabling them
' to live better, to consume more of the products
of American farms and factories, and by keeping
at home the dollar that might otherwise go
abroad benefits everybody here.
This proposition will be attacked again, as it
hat been in the past, by the free traders, who will
demand admission to this country of wares made
in Europe, simply- because they are produced
there for less than they cost here. These special
pleaders make no note of the fact that the main
reason for the difference in cost is the better pay
of the American workmen, nor do they tell us
what is to be done for the wage earners who will
be thrown out of employment ' when foreign-
. mane wares displace tne nome-maae in tne nome
market. " ;
It is well enough to talk of the terrible tax
that will be imposed by the tariff, but it will not
' be forgotten that the Underwood free trade tariff,
"Which is now to be replaced, produced a deficit
almost as formidable as, any tax might possibly.
. Ka. - Umu ri ih vnl,rs vt rra1l th ffonrasinn
and unemployment in 1914, idleness and bread
lines, the first fruits of the Wilson administration,
and will not be misled by the prediction of dis
aatcr that is to follow when the republicans re-
. store the protection of the tariff to the industries
of the United States. Free trade has terrors far
more real than high tariff and good prices can
possibly hold for the workers and producers of
America. i ' ' ' ' .-
The Child Labor Laws.
Among other triumphs for the Wilson admin
istration the democrats are now listing the pas
sage of child labor laws. The first was enacted
and became operative on September 1, 1916. It
'was later held to be invalid; the second was made
;Uw in 1919, and it, too, has been held up by the
courts. What credit is 'due the democrats for
these laws? ;
The record shows that in either case if it
had not been for votes of republican representa
tives and senators the bill could not have been
passed. Democrats from the cotton growing
'states of the south almost to a man voted against
tthe measures, just as they voted against woman
suffrage. Each time the law has been attacked
in a southern state, North Carolina, and each
itime it has been declared invalid by the same
federal judge, whose affiliations political are
democratic ' ,
That same democratic congress gave us the
Adamson law, of which its parents make little
boast nowadays, because neither; the men nor
the managers of the railroads have reaped any
special benefit from it. The children of the south
- are still exploited and most of the southern demo
crats who voted against the child labor laws still
are serving their constituencies in congress.
Therefore, it may suit the purpose of the party
to parade the taw in Nebraska as a triumph, but
it is not often mentioned as an achievement
clown in that section from which most of the
democrats go to Washington. ,v .
v Money for Good' Roads. ' '
: Affairs are moving at more speed in congress
than is apparent on the surface. Thus, the pas
sage of a good roads bill authorizing an ap
propriation of $65,000,000 for the year beginning
"July I and of $75,000,000 for the following twelve
months, has escaped general attention. Most of
the states will be enabled by this measure to
carry on their highway building programs as
. planned, while some few will find curtailment
necessary.
Two new features of this federal aid plan are
worth mention. One authorizes participation
by the government in the expense of construct
ing highways beneath railway tracks. Previously
only grade crossings and overhead crossings were
jnvlUQCu ill icuciai aiu 411c ciiiwuiagciuciib ui
the abolition of grade crossings may save many
motorists from wreck or death on these dan
gerous intersections. Another section provides
a penalty clause to guarantee road work and
prevent false statements as to costs or work
performed.
, -Good roads are becoming increasingly neces-
coit of production. Thlt, many will tay, it im
possible of achievement, yet it it exactly what
various combinations of businesi concerns aim
at, and ! at the basis of the open price associa
tions. The attitude of the public toward this
new form of competition varies with the amount
of confidence it has in the parties concerned.

A Challenge to False Pretence.
State Senator Randall showt no tign of rais
ing a white flag in the face of democratic attacks
upon state taxes. As a candidate for the republi
can nomination for governor, he says:
It is well known that the state takes less
than one-Fifth of every dollar paid over the
counter of the county treasurer. We are
forcibly reminded that the cure for the tax bur
den to a large extent is at home, in the coun
ties, towns and school districts. I favor a
program of economy bat I do not think ob
serving people will be fooled into believing
that a governor or a legislature can cure an evil,
the remedy for which lies principally inthe
hands of the people in their own local gov
ernment.
That meets the issue raised by the democratic
spell-binders. Can they prove their case? Can
they show wherein the state budget can be cut
substantially, where it can be reduced enough
that it may be felt by the individual taxpayer?
Already the state administration has made re
ductions aggregating several hundred thousands
of dollars, made possible by lowered costs and
by the elimination of certain activities. What
other specific reductions or eliminations will the
democrats make?

Whither Away, America ?
The lack of any coherent social philosophy is
one of the astounding conditions found in Amer
ica. Democracy should signify individuality, free
will and responsibility for the citizens. In spite
of the essential nature of these characteristics

poke into other people's affairs.' This encourages
the contrary trend toward the view of anarchy,
that most laws can be discarded that the gov
ernment with the fewest laws is the best.
Both these points of view must be discarded
hefore the problem of democratic government
can be fairly met. Americans must come to look
at the state as the way o freedom. Men and
women organize in their clubs and unions to
advantage themselves. Something of the same
feeling should adhere to ' citizenship. Self help
is the best method of progress, and government
itself should be made nothing more than the col
lective means of self help. . .
There is Unrest in America. It is being fed
by bitter partisan spite. The road to the ideal
lies through no such morass of deception, hate
and hunger for office. Progress will be sfbw
enough in any. event, but it can be accelerated
only if the public will not allow Itself to be di
verted from the broad path of real democracy.
Two dormitories, one for boys and the other
for girls, are planned in connection with the new
Deuel county high school at Chappell. This in
teresting departure, made in face of complaints
about taxes, has the support of the country peo
ple. Dormitories will make it possible for many
out-of-town students to secure high school edu
cation which otherwise they might not be able to
get because they could not go back and forth to
their farm homos each day. !
Poincare, who was chosen premier of France
on a blood-and-thunder platform, doet not seem
to have the agility to balance himself that is
shown by Lloyd George, who won a British elec
tion on the promise to hang the kaiser and make
the Germans pay their last pfennig.
