We are shocked at the presumptions
which are being displayed by some Of
the stand-pat organs Of this state. A
few days ago we picked up an exchange
whose editor prides himself as an author
ity, in which the broad statement is made
that the new tariff will have to stand for
at least a decade-thst it can not and
will not be revised IN either direction
The most effective way for the people
OF this glorious county to disprove that
astounding assertion is to clean out" the
crowd that is now running the govern
ment machinery and put in men who are
close to the people. 1t is our notion that
the people can get relief as soon as they
become sufficiently intelligent to break
the party shackles and go to the polls as
freemen and vote for what they went and
need. Of course. with the present party
in power. there will be no revision IN
several decades, nor for several centuries
for that matter.

1t twas shown by E. Dawson. attorney
for the board Of railroad commissioners,
few days ago that the railroads charge
81 ton for hauling rich ore from the
mountains to the Missouri river, and that
the same roads charge you 1915 for
hauling cheap coal over the same route
But, you be good to the railroads and
don't complain, and above all don't advo-
cate government ownership, for like the
G. 0. P, must stick to its principles. -

An esteemed Republican contempor-
ary published in the heart Of the protec-
ton belt, the Altoona. Pa, Tribune,
protests against the quips and gibes Of
newspaper paragraphers over the soar
ing prices Of the necessities Of life and
declares it is no joking matter. "A man
who can stand off and make jokes con-
cening the cost Of living is either an IL
responsible individual or a very wealthy
one" declares the Tribune. The bal.
ance Of US approach the matter with Sc.
nous minds and heavy hearts. We dc
not know what is going to happen
Our Republican contemporary is quite
night. And yet it is a staunch advocate
and defender Of the vicious system o.
protection which has promoted the con.
diiOn it bewais. for the profit Of the
trusts at the expense Of the people.
Barbour County index., 1910-01-26

The high cost Of living is receiving
more and more attention from newspapers
and magazines. Of course, many factors
are responsible for excessive prices: but
the one cause which outweighs all others
in importance is the elimination Of foreign
competition by excessive tariff duties and
the elimination Of domestic competition
in restraint Of trade.-La Folette's Mag
azine.

T. A. McNeal opened his campaign
tor congressman Of the First district al
Hiawatha last Wednesday. Hi. speech
was a strong one. He showed and
proved where the republican party ha.
thus far failed to redeem its promise and
especially criticised Congressman Anthony
tor his continuous voting for the Cannon
Aldnch policies in defiance Of the express
ed will Of his constituents. Ifthere were
a sufficient number Of McNeaIs in the
republican party there would be some
hope that the organization would repre-.
sent the people but the regrettable fact i.
that few Of the leaders have the honesty
and courage possessed by Mr.. McNeal

The only argument now advanced in

The Cresset again assumes, In its last
weeks issue. that the progressive repub-
icans Of Barber county are very verdant
and weak in mind. In an attempt to
win them over to the old school ideas it
endeavors to play on their prejudices by
the unwananted assertion that The In
dex comes to the aid Of the insurgents. :"
This, Of course, is mere twaddle. The
Index has several times stated that it is
not identified with the contentious that
are being carried on between the factions
In the republican party. In its capacity
as publisher Of news, it has endeavored
to make clear statement Of what is 60
ing on locally in political circles without
coloring anything in favor Of or against
any faction CT any politician. 1t has said,
and it now repeats it, that an overwhelm-
ing majority Of Barber county republicans.
and even the republicans Of the entire
state, are what is called insurgents" and
in this The Index is supported by not
only the vote recorded at the last pri-
mary election but also by the sentiment
reflected by great majority Of the daily
and weekly republican papers Of the
state. We desire to warn the Cresset,
in friendly way. to quit playing with
FIRE. This is the wrong time to play on
small prejudices and to presume that all
republicans are ignorant. Because peo-
pie have tolerated abuses in times past i:
no argument why they should continue
to tolerate them, and there is no assur.
ance that they will.

began the other day a fast which he
hopes to be able to keep up for forty
days. At any rate, he Is going to try
to do without food for three weeks.
He hopes TO be able to demonstrate the
value of fasting not only as a body
cleanser, but as means for improving
the condition of the subconscious mind
and giving the forces of life some op-
portunity to gather themselves and
gain strength. Several physicians will
watch the doctor carefully and make
examinations from time to time. DIR.
Gayer has made fasting experiments
before, but for not longer than two
weeks.
During my fast / will sleep out of
DOORS" said the doctor. "This will be
no new experiment, however, for reg
ularly sleep In tent in my back yard
winter and summer. Water will be the
pnly sustenance l will take until the
fast is over. l expect to lose consider
ably in weight. yet it cannot help but

General Custer was born at New
Rumley, o., on Dec. >, 1889 He be-
gan his military career at the age of
four years His father belonged to the
militia, which compelled every able
bodied man in Ohio siXty-seven years
ago to assemble for muster in uniform
once a month. He frequently took his
son Armstrong, and as he was so
young he was very noticeable among
so many mature men.
1t occurred to Father Custer that a
uniform would be a delight to the
child, so he had one made like his
own by the village tailor In great
secrecy and took his little son home in
it to his surprised and proud mother.

AMERICAS OLDEST SHIP.
The Polly, Which Is to See New York,
Terror of British In 1872

Terror Of British In 1912.
The good ship Polly. which recently
left New Bedford for New York, is the
oldest vessel in the United States and
one Of the oldest in the world. For
105 years this two masted schooner
has been doing business, but even now
she can outsail many modern vessels.
The Polly's laurels are not all those
of peace. In the war Of 1912 many a
time she gave battle on the seas to
craft twice her size. She captured
eleven rich prizes in that conflict. AS
a privateer under command of Captain
Juduthan Upton. with her decks 5ris-
ting with guns. she was the terror Of
British commerce.
The Polly dropped out of the binocu-
lar limelight to bob up in 1910 In the
coasting trade. In 1S49 and the sue
ceeding years the little smartly rugged
sixty footer rounded Cape Horn six
times and made two complete trips
around the world.
OF recent years she has been carry
ing lumber between Bangor and other
Maine ports. While the boat has been
almost remade. it's the same old Polly.
and II you had been interested in ship
ping a century ago you would have no
trouble In recognizing her now.

The class graduated from Columbia
college in 1885 will give Columbia uni
versity, in New York city, on June /,

said to be the only one of Its kind M
the United States. The plans for the
dial and a small working model have
been made by Harold Jacoby, profess
sor of astronomy and a member Of the
class. When completed the dial will
consist of granite sphere five feet In
diameter mounted on circular gran
lite plinth some ten feet in diameter.
On the surface of the plinth will be
marks by which will be designated the
actual time of day at every season of
The year.
The dial. according to DR.. Jacoby,
will probably be the best timekeeper
IN New York as long as the sun shines,
out it will be subject to the failings
Of all other sundials when there is no
