hickory wood about a half foot in
diameter with half tone of the great
comedian on the front, with burnt

Putting wing. on the souIIe.s.

The task Of attaching wings to the

not In the eyes of the world. In a re-

praise of the company's "benificent'

OF merit the company deserves every

Where the Democrats Were Right

Even some of the republican papers
OF Pennsylvania are waking up TO the
fact that the high tariff duties ought to
be changed by the incoming congress
When the republican press OF a state
like Pennsylvania, a state that gave
100000 majority to Roosevelt, joins
the ranks of tariff reformers surely
there must be good reason TO com
plain.
During the campaign the republi-
can papers and many of the campaign
spell-binders said that was nothing
in the democratic argument for tariff
reform. Now some of these news
papers are using the very same argu-
ments democratic speakers used on
the subject. Every one seems TO rec
ogniZe that there is no justification for
the high duty ON steel rails and many
other articles. Is II possible that we
are coming to recognize the truth of
the logic of the democrats on the tar
