FREE TRADE DOWNED

The mayor and town council are
furnishing a very fine illustration for
political issues in the way of free
trade and protection. A man comes
along and offers to sell goods at re-
duced rates, and they pounce upon
him and require protection license
for the other merchants. Why is it
that they do not recognize this doc
trine generally, and not hide them
selves undera special particular case !?
Why is it that the mayor and coun.
Gil and merchants of the town are
not always in favor of protection to
home industries and home trade?

1t is said that Mr.. Fl. j. Seibert,
one of the members Of the county
court, has declined to accept the
800 voted to him for negotiating
the county bonds. If true, this is to
his credit, and we hope it is true.
Possibly the others have not taken
theirs, and if they have, as county
officials, will return the amount in
to the treasury. tits tough time for

The world is ready to applaud any who has
courage. No other trait of character so commands
the admiration of all men. everywhere. Every walk
of life requires braverg of some sort to make it
success There is other calling or business per-
haps that requires the amount of pluck, ener-
gy grit and perseverance at the present time does
the retail Clothing trade requires courage to be
honest in these days courage to be truthful especial
ly when the advertising atmosphere is so heavily
charged everywhere with exaggeraton falsehood and
Misrepresentation But would rather be right than

to continue right along the same broad, solid

just now that is more eloquent than words.
