TARIFF ON HIDES

Ex-Governor Douglas of Massa-
chusetts, of Douglas shoe fame ard
one of the largest manufacturers in
the country, recently sent out to the
trade, circular protesting against
the attitude of congress on hides and
leather quesrlons.
He accuses the beef packers trust
of controlling So Per cent. of the hides
of the country, and shows by tsbu-
lated table covering a period of IL
years, that hides are 40 much of a by
product that the price of beef has
nothing to do with the price of hides.
He contends that aside from this
little coterie of packers less than U.s.
900 men are Interested in keeping
hides on the protected list, and that
congress owes it to the IS, 700. 900
people who wear shoes, to give them
the benefit cf reduction. After max
ing his argument, which is sound, he
says:
Why congress hesitates to give us
free hides | cannot understand, unless
our senators and representative have
ceased to think of, the welfare of our
IS, 700, 900 of consumers, and are con-
cerned only about the few producers
who constitute our great trusts. The
facts and arguments are against taxed
hides. There is 10 sound reason,
under any theory of protection, for
continuing the burdensome and mon.
opoly producing duty On hides. Not
only does the duty not protect the
cattle raisers but, if it did, there are
so few of them, comparatively, that
they should not be permitted to die
tate the prices of hides, leather and
shoes to all of our citizens.'
MIR. Douglas is a democrat, but
not free trader. He voices the
sentiment of the shoe manufacturers
as we'll as of the tanners of the coun-
try to say nothing of the larger con-
stituencv which congressman are
elected to represent. If there il any
good argument why hides should not
be placed on the free list, it has not
been produced.

THE ASSOCIATE PRESS

When rich man passes away, es-
peeially if he was very wealthy, the
associate press usually sends OUT col
umns of fulsome praise of the depart
ed even though he had not one re-
deeming quality when alive. and had
all of the Characterization of the Grim
mai which he kept within tie law and
yet reached bis ends. The late II. H.
Rogers of the Standard Oil Go. was
just such a man. He was loved by
q precious few and his vocabulary
contained but one word and it was
victory" regardless of the rights,
comforts and pleasures of others. He
was Indifferent al to how victory was
won, his emily desire being. to add to
his wealth by despoiling others1 by
any means within his power in order
that competition might be destroyed
and the trust in which he was person
ally interested might be made power
ful in the absorbing of wealth. He
was totally devoid of any and all
sympathy for those who were toiling
to create and build up business that
should give them competency and
crushed them without tinge of con-
science, if he had any. But the would
calls that business-the weaker must
go to the wall regardless of the means
employed, violating Christian ethics
and practice. He passed away as he
had lived, selfish to an extreme degree
and left none of his immense wealth
for charity. Such men deserve nc
praise and having gone, charity with.
holds condemnation. but one cannot
resist the .imuplse to condemn the
fulsome praise of the Associate pres.
of men who are not deserving, simply
because they are rich.

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY

Hon. Champ. Clark, the big Mis-
sourian congressman, is mad and has
good reason to be more than provoked.
He is member of committee which
desired informal ton from the engineers
in the War Department and were in
formed, that the committe. of the
House of Representative could "ge
plumb to hell" Mr.. CLARK reportsa
the incident to the House which was
SO fsmagasted that it did nothing.
The committee. of course, need not
go unless called. but. judging from the
general run of congressman, that is
their ultimate destination.
The election of Billy Lorimer of
Chicago, AS senator by the Illinois
legislature by republican and demo-
cratic members voting for him, has
called attention to what is termed BIZ
partisanship, which in the past has
meant bargain and sale of office by
dish nest and disreputatle politicians.
In the case under consideration, Hon,
A. J. Hopkins WIS the republican
nominee at the primary election
held in. that state by q. ma jority of so, :
900, which demonstrates that the pri-
mary election Was a delusion, fraud
and humbug as it is everywhere and
not binding on state legislature, il u
ma ority uf the members have other
fish to fry.
An editor down in Missouri, refuses
to publish the obituary notices of
people who when living had neglected
to take his paper for political or other
reasons. Should think, they would be
the very ones whose obituaries he
would like to publish, for their de-
parture would occasion him no loss.

OUT OF THE FRYING PAN INTO
THE FIRE

Hon. Thomas L. Hisgen, who vas
the presidential candidate of Hearst e
independents in the last campaign,
wanting office. is no longer an indie
pendent but will hereafter flock with
the democrats, party which is only
a name, having for years been but q
memory of the days when it stood for
something. for instance: slavery,
free trade, opposition to internal
improvements, free coinage of silver
at 16 to and other foolish PROPOSE
tions. The old leaders must die and
there be less "scrapping" within the
party before it can hope for success.
1t must become aggressive in the in
terest of the people and have nigh
political ideals before the people Will
have any faith in it's professions.

He DOMINATES THE PARTY

Senator Aldrich has credit for hsv.

One thing il certain and that is,
Senator Aldrich is the friend of great
corporations, syndicated wealth,
trusts, mergers and the rich.
1t is said of him that there are few
things within the gift of wealth in
America tina. Aldrich may not have
for the asking.
It is also said that corporations
have no souls, and if they have a
preference for certain individuals it is
not because of affection. but because
of the service thvse certain ones are
In u position to render them.
Already. Aldrich is multi million
aire and he is adding to his millions
at very rapid rate.
At the present time Aldrich IL the
Republican party and the Republican
party is AIdrich.
Why? Because Aldrich is the
mouthpiece of the great corporations
of this country, and the Republican
party in its practical working out of
things in Washington is existing in
large measure for the purpose of
furtheripg the interests of these.
Theirs are those who will think this

we do not think it untrue.
