Wilson, Sept 1s.-The many who left our neighDorhood earlier in the summer seeking rest or to improve their health have nearly all returned To them the sounds of ocean waves breaking upon the coast, of winds signing through the pines, or of the noise of great cities are but memories and they are settled down to the work and more quiet enjoyment in their home district Mrs. Curtis and Miss Emma Curtis are home from San Diego, MT. and Mrs. Rhodes from other points in California, MT. and Mrs. Connolly from San Francisco and Los Angeles. But California did not receive all of our people. Miss Mae Chambers spent the summer in Pres colt and returned last Monday.

The verdict of each and all of these re- turned travellers is the same. The places they have been are very nice to visit in, but when it comes to liv- ing they prefer Arizona.

ANornrn rALsn Plea nxrosrp.

One Of the favorite and persistentiy-
used arguments Of the protected inter-
esfs of the country to justify high
tsriR IL the claim that American work
men are paid so much higher than
Foreigners that the home manufactur-
ers cannot compete with outsiders un-
less q high tarin is put on imported
goods. All Of US know that this Is a
stock argument with tho trusts and big
corporations. ana one that they have
plainly used successfully In the past
when tarifr measure Is under con-
,slderation. Remove protection" they
say. "and American workers will be
forced to work for the starvation
wages received by the foreign opera
tives." According to The Hartford
Times. however. the props have been
knocked from under that plea
Through information obtained from
the German government" says The
Times. ut has been proved that the
wage rates alleged by the champions
Of one American industry to be cur
rently paid in Germany on the same
class OF goods are actually four times
as high as are alleged In the testi-
mony taken by the ways and means
committee"
Plainly that knocks the bottom out
OF the strongest arguments the trusts
can use. They. have built largely on
the hypocritical plea that they were
governed by an unselfish desire to help
the working people. and that they de.
sired a high tariff, not for their own
benefit but In ORDER that they couid
afford to pay good wages to their en-
ployes. In short, they wanted all to
believe that their advocacy Of high
tariff was purely unselfish and found
ed on their desire to benefit and ele-
waite, the. American working people.
That there has been more hypocrisy
than truth in this argument has been
frequently shown. Mr.. Carnegie him
self admits that the great steel indus
try does not need protection. and no
doubt the same can be truthfuiiy said
of most other Industries here that are
loaded down with duties for the benefit
of favored corporations. The informa-
tion derived from the German govern
ment. the truth OF which we see no
reason to question, is added proof that
there has been no basis for imposing
the burdens on American consumers
that they have SO long been forced to
endure. However. perhaps even this
will have no effect. The protected
trusts are powerful in our politics and
the dominant party is very largely
obliged TO these interests for the pow
or. II wields.

SUNDAY, APRIL 4, 1909.

One OF the encouraging signs Of the
times Is found. in the unusual interest
everywhere In the state that Is being
shown In the subject of corn growing.
Our state exchanges from all over AL
ALBANIA ass giving liberal portions Of
space to the subject and many nice
prelnfuins are offered for the best yield
Of czanaQaa one acre. This Is what we
all must feel is moving in the right
direction. The South needs more corn
ana southern farmers can produce it. If
they will try. If thoy are unwilling to
devote more land to grain crops the
psxt best thing to do is to make their
land ,produce more. Whatever method
thsy use that viii produce the desired
result win accomplish vast good.

TAXING THE NECESSITIES.

True. coffee and tea. cocoa. and
candy are not necessities of life. They
are luxuries. But they are distinctive
ly the luxuries of the common people.
However, the table tax Is not the only
part of the tariff bill which has a
direct interest for the average man or
woman. Stockings, 1t will be general

civilization. Whittier's barefoot boy Is

can civilization has not accepted the
example of Sockless Jerry Simpson.
Stockings 1t must have. Under the
Dingley bill there has been an average
tax on imported hosiery of 1888 per
cent. The Payne bill increases this
tax by from 40 TO AZ per cent on the
cheaper grades. and rs per cent on the
medium grades. On stockings costing
81 dozen abroad. every America n
family must contribute seventy cents
toward making up the national deficit.
