Hon. w. S. Kenyon of Fort
Dodge, one Of the influential
republicans of Iowa, while pre-
siding at a banquet given at the
home coming Of Senator Doll
yer said:
"The American people since
the civil war have not had such
a gold brick handed to them as
was passed over for their con-
sideration in the Payne-Aldrich
tariff bill, which just became a
The UNION, as a searcher for
the truth as regards the bill,
asks permission to present the
changes in the schedules with
out formal endorsement Of the
correctness or incorrectness of
the statements made by those
cited. After reading the state
ment Of Mr.. Kenyon recourse
was taken to the remarks Of
Congressman Culp of Indiana,
made before congress on the
tariff bill. He spoke then as a
man Of authority and since then
we have seen no contradiction.
Referring to the changes he
said:
Con the chemical schedule
there is a reduction, but on the
important articles of universal
consumption in the necessities
of life there is a large increase.
On the schedule duties there is
an increase Of per cent over
the Dingley rates. In other
words, the average specific du-
ties in the Dingley bill were 45
per cent and in the Payne-Al-
drich bill the average specific
duties are AZ per cent. The bill
reported by the conference com
mittee is higher than the Payne
bill as originally passed the
house.
"But the specific schedule
duties do not constitute thereal
rates, and this is where the
public is being deceived about
1.-THE real tariff. In section two
of the bill is where the con
sumner is handed a good sized
lemon. That section provides
that after the 3lst day Of
March, 1910, there shall be lev
led, collected and paid on all
articles when imported from
any foreign country into the
United States the rates Of duty
prescribed in the schedules and
paragraphs of the dutiable list
of section one, and in addition
Thereto % per cent ad yalorem;
which rates shall constitute the
maximum tariff of the United
States.
"TThis means that in addition
IT, the rates fixed in the more
than4 600 schedules there shall
be added as the tariff 25 per
cent Of the value Of The articles
as the real tariff on the same
and hence this raises the aver
age tariff to ~ per cent, the
highest by far levied.
ssLet us illustrate what is
meant by this. For instance,
take rough lumber, the cheap
lest kind. The specific duty
fixed in the schedule is $l.25
Iper thousand, but to which
must be added the IS per cent

lumber is valued at $40 pen

Fain would we regard all men
who have been elevated to the
position ofCongressman as above
little, mean things, but once in a
while some bounder reminds of
the fact that the methods some
men employ in politics are be-
meath contempt. Mrs. Fannie J.
Reed was postmistress at Bit
more. At the instance ofRepub-
lican Congressman JIG. Grant, Of
the tenth district, she was remov-
ed without being advised of any
cause for removal, and it has since
come to light that secret charges
to the effect that she had at
tempted to bride Grant were fill
ed against her. Mrs Reeds wild
ow who was dependent, it seems,
upon the Office for support, de-
MES that she tried to bride the
Congressman and says that the
only conversation she had with
Grant when money matters were
mentioned was when Grant call
ed her attention to the fact that
she had failed to contribute to
his campaign and had said that
all the officeholders have got to
come across" Grant claims that
Mrs. Reed had not only offered to
pay him more than any other
applicant for the Office would
pay, but tried to induce his
daughter by a promise of money
to assist her. Whatever may be

If those county papers who are
asking why the commissioners
have had to borrow money for
current expenses, after the spe-
cial provision by the last Legis-
iature, really wish 20 know and
are not simply trying to create
distrust. they will doubtless find
sufficient answer to their question
by consulting the records for the
court costs. To a laymen who
does not attend court often, it
seems almost a continuous meet
ing and adjourning of one kind of
court or another. And they come
high, doubtless. -MaXton Scot
fish Chief.
IF those county papers
really wish to know and are not
simply trying to create distrust?'
The Chief is old enough to know
better. The Robesonian first ask
ed shat question and it knows
that it is not necessary to assure
fair-minded people that it has
never written a line simply to
create distrust. Sufficient an
swer cannot be found in consult
ing court costs. We do not know
just where the trouble lies alto
gether, but we do know that it
was expected that when bonds
were sold recently to take up the

ty there would be no more bor-
rowing for the present. But that

Reports Of the activity of GUS

being a letter received the other
day by Mayor Mcclellan from a
woman in Paris stating that if
any one attempted to insult her
in the way she had beeli inform
ed others had been treated she
would do her best to knock him
down. If the statements one
sees sometimes are true then the
customs officials are brutes, no
less; but Are those statements
true? Mr.. andMrs. A. w. Mclean,
of Lumberton, returned recently
from Europe and having in mind
certain sweeping assertions as to
the insolent activity of customs

T HE pictures on the topic showing

this week with such a general monot-

most impossible to give each one in

The Junior artists are improving
each week and are rapidly becoming
more expert in the way they adapt
the topic to their individual abilities.

many contestants in the regular de-

to limit the contest for front page pic

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
How He Proposed Economizing Time
When but a Child

In the county of Northamptonshire,
England, there is little place called
Ecton, and on one of the farms near,
many, many years ago, family called
Franklin lived and worked.
One of the Franklins, being young
and adventurous, left his old British
home and came to America, which was
then quite a new country, and in due
course, having married, he became the
father of seventeen children. One of
these children was called Benjamin.
The elder Mr.. Franklin was a very
religious man, and he brought up his
seventeen children in the same way.
It was always his custom to say
grace at every meal, though often there
were only herrings to eat.
Indeed, Mr.. Franklin used to buy a
barrelful of herrings at a time, as
it was a deal cheaper than buying a
few every day.
Now Benjamin, being then but boy
of ten, thought it a great waste of time
saying grace over every herring.
So one day, when he was very hum
cry and his father was going to ask
a long blessing as usual, little Benja-
min looked up and said: Father,
wouldn't you save lot of time If you
said grace just once over the barrel
of herrings instead of doing it at every
meal?"
Father did not agree with that, but
I rather think he must have smiled at
his sons idea.
Benjamin Franklin, though he was at
first only a printers boy, became a
great statesman!

A Cold Weather Game

This is a primitive game, better for
cold weather, as it is rightly named. 1t
is played by two people, who sit facing
each other. One spreads out his hands
fiat, palms up; the other puts his palms
down, within about three inches of the
first pair of hands and tries to strike
them a smart blow. If the second
player can withdraw his hands quickly
enough so that they are not touched
it is then his turn to try and strike So
long as the player whose hands are
palms down can strike the others
hands he can go on.
A number can play by arranging it
as a sort of tournament, trying out the
players by couples until finally the two
best contestants are left to struggle for
the championship.
