The SquabbIe.

And now comes the wrangle be-
tween Cook and Peary about the
discovery of the North Pole. 1t is
a rather unseemly wrangle.
1t seems just as likely that this
man Cook reached the pole as that
Peary did.
1t is too early yet to doubt the
word of either. According to Prof.
Dyche they are both honorable
men and experienced explorers and
it would be the part of courtesy to
take the word of each till all the
evidence is in. There is no partic-
ular benefit to man or to science in
locating the pole.
The only thing is the great
achievement in overcoming the
great difficulties and in being the
FIRST to reach that little spot on the
earth's surface that generations have
sought in vain.

HERE MUTTON CHEAP.

Lewis G.. Abr ms, of Sidney,
Australia, shipping agent and
manufacturer, was in Chicago the
other day on tour around the
world. "'Ws could put Australian
mutten into your country for five
cents pound, if the Tariff did not
keep US out" is one of the significant
things he uttered. He ought to
know and he probably spoke the
truth. But in this country the
poorest mutton on the heof is worth
more than five cents a pound and
runs up to eight cents pound. u
the ruling price of mutton we're five
cents a pound sheep would bring
two or three cents a pound. That
might help some, but how about the
farmer? His hogs AID his cattle
would also come down to correspond.
Could the far mer stand 1t?
OF late we have heard great deal
about there being no Protection to
the farmer in the Tariff. But this
Australian shipping man seems to
hold out a different idea for the
farmer to contemplate. In Australia
sheep grow like rabbits. They can
BIZ put in cold storage and shipped
to us. But what would become of
our $Ioo acre land? Australia itself
has a Protective Tariff and the
Australians believe in Protection.
The more this question is studied
the more, we believe, the benefits
accruiug to the farmer are apparent
in the Tariff, whatever few very
progressive men may have to say on
these subjects. We may be on a
false basis, but is there any one who
wants to try the fve-cent mutton on
exeriment, any one among the
farmers?-Cedar Rapids Republican.
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1909-09-10
ASA BUSINESS MAKER.

In its broadest sense no one can
deny that the Protective Tariff has
made this country not only great in
wealth, but the paradise for labor
so far as high wage rates and
opportunity are concerned.
When criticising the Tariff, we
are inclined to do SO from the
narrow point of its benefits to the
few, while we fail to hold in view
= the benefits to the many.
The farmer is benefited by the
Protective Tariff, because the Tarift
enables men and women to be en-
ployed in shops and factories in this
country. These factory employees
are purchasers of the product of the
farm. Factories are found near the
fields, which feed the men, to the
mutual advantage of the man who is
fed and the man who feeds him.
The Protective Tariff keeps the
home markets for American goods,
,sustains thrift, keeps large volume
of capital in circulation and every
body who does business or who
works in any calling is greatly ben
'efited by it.
The great business interests in
wolved in the Tariff are of much
more importance than the picayune
deals Which some of the Congress
men appear intent upon making.
The policies which have givea this
country prestige and power are
certainly worth continuing in force.

Horrible BUtChery

The headless trunk of young
lady was found in creek near De-
uoit, Mich, tied up In a sack and
heavily weighted with bricks. The
head and arms and legs were after
wards found in another sack. The
body proved to be that of Miss
Maybelle Mullinan who had disap-
peared a few days previous. The
officers are making every effort to
discover the perpetrator OF the das-
tardy crime. But, SO far as the
public knows, there is, as yet no
trace OF the murderer.
