Her music and her musical instruments of the past. are here today the same as they ever were. there are no stages of develop ment and no steps of ascent.

This Is a gain of 6ss,122 for these twenty southern cities or 61 per cent-which is all most double the average rate of increase of the cities of the country reported up to date. Of course, the phenomenal gain through the admission of Oklahoma to statehood, the amazing increase of Bir- mingham and the almost equally wonder full achievement of Jacksonville, Dallas and Fort Worth have had much to do with the making of this high average.

Strike In Paris Called 0f

Premier Briand proved himself a strong and efficient executive office when the railroad strikers over some of the most important railroads In France became threatening to social order and to the food supply of Paris.

This broke the backbone of the strike and he then proceeded to ne- gotiate a settlement that will give the strikers all or nearly all the wages they had demanded.

Kansas City, Mo. Jan. 8.-Ad-
dressing the democratic state confer
ence today Joseph w. Folk declared
the great fight in the country today
is to equalize the distribution of
wealth. We cannot bring about a
forced equality of conditions, but
there may be an equalization of bur
dens and opportunities.
Protect the People.
There's a growing demand for pro-
lection for the people against monopg
oily, instead of protecting monopoly
against the people. The only pur-
pose of the protective tariff is to
stif1e competition and to that extent
create monopoly. The democrat par
ty should take a clean cut stand
against the system of protection. The
fight should not be for free raw ma
terials and protection for manufac-
tured products or vice versa, but for
no protection at all. mo protection
for MONOPOLY should be the battle
cry in the next campaign.
