Newspapers and the Tariff

It will be difficult for the President
to convince unprejudiced observers that
the newspapers of the United States
have been induced to misrepresent the
tariff law and attack the administration
because of dissatisfaction with the re.
vision on print paper.
All the newspapers are in the same
boat so far as the paper schedule is con-
cerned. If one can stand it the rest can.
There is no threatened competition
from other sources with cheaper ma
terial and the tax is merely passed along
to the reading public.
But the paper SEIZED ule may haveh had
this effect. 1t undoubtedly taught
even standpat editors that the tariff in
this particular instance was levying a
tax on the people for the benefit of d
trust that was denuding the United
States of timber. So it opened their
eyes to the sort Of special privileges
fostered everywhere 10y the protective
system and made it hard to fool them
into the belief that the Aldrich law was
revision downward.
The notion that men inter ested in
the public welfare were always inspired
by selfish motives is a favorite one with
Speaker Cannon.
Perhaps he suggested it to the Presi.
dent.-Kansas City Times.

Voting Machine a Problem

What is to be done with the costly
voting machines that are going to the
State House from the various districts
of the State as a result of a law passed
last winter is a puzzler to tie authori.
ties. So far sixty-one of the devices
have been received and are slowed in
the over-crowded basement of the State
House, and many more are expected.
Under the law the authorities in
counties in Which the machines have
been rejected by the vote of the people
ale given leave to ship them to the
Secretary of State, the legal custodian,
to avoid the cost of care and storage.
Of the s~ixty-one thus received thirty
nine came from Essex county, twelve
from Camden, five from Burlington
and five from Hudson. Many more
districts voted against the use of the
and they will be sent in soon, so that
the problem of storage will become
serious.
What is to be the ultimate fate of
the machines, which cost the State $500
each, is, another of the unsolved prob.
lens. 1t is not likely that a market
will be found for them readily and they
will quickly de~teriorate in value. 1t is
said that the matter will be taken up
by Governor Fort in an effort to find
some way out of the strange situation.

The ssTree Case"

The suit which has been listed on the
Salem county court docket every term
since 1902, and which has become known
as the "Elmer Tree Case" was tried be-
fore a jury at Salem last Tuesday, and
Oliver Hitchner and Emma Hitchner,
his wife, were awarded damages to the
amount of $50.
When Main street wal widened a num-
Der OF years ago, Council was unable to
agree with the Hitchners in reference to
the removal of certain trees and a front
fence, and the authorities, unable to i'm
prove the street at that point, took down
the fence and pulled out the trees.
Appraisers were called into the case
and they awarded ten dollars damages to
the Hitchner property. This the owners
declined 20 accept and they brought suit
against the Borough, which was tried in
the County court and decided in favor of
the municipality. Judge Westcott, coun-
sci for the plaintiffs, appealed to the
Supreme court and a new trial was grant
ed. Term after term the case was put off
and everybody concerned will be pleased
that the matter is at last out OF the way.
The litigation has been expensive to the
Borough and the amount of the award is
too small to bring satisfaction to the COM
plainants.-Elmer Times.

Safe, Sane and Conservative

On January 81, 1910, the 7,045 ma.
tional banks of the United States owed
their depositors S7,2Os, 256, 800. 81. To
pay this they had in gold, silver, paper
money, nickels and coppers the sum of
$679, 1872, 715.05. They had only twelve
cents on the dollar. This is the way it
looks:
They owe subject to check...... ~, 2os. 25S. 6oO.sl
To pay it they have cash....... &c. 72, 11s.05
If you were running an elevator and
had issued receipts for nine times as
much wheat as you had in your eleva-
tor, you would be in exactly the same
fix that the banks are. This is Ger
tainly a safe, sane and conservative
system of finance. Every dollar has
been loaned over and over again, when
it driftod back to the bank, until the
banks are getting six interests on each
dollar. Their loans amount to 1920.
503,475 40. If you don't understand
this, you ale not intelligent enough to
vote, no matter what you may think,
for your vote is used to build up this
and many other such gratis. And there
you are.-Appeal to Reason.
The above is the Socialist idea of the
banking system. 1t is established by
law. The large amount of deposits is
made by the ~re-deposit of borrowed
funds, and deposits by banks In reserve
banks. For every actual dollar there
is four dollars worth of credits made.
So long as confidence and credits are
good business moves on. When the
credit men, who own the real money,
the big financiers who want to make a
scoop they contract the credit currency,
paralize industry and are enriched by
the raid. 1t was done in 1893 and in
1907 to Influence Congress to give the
bankers and bondholders more favor
able legislation.

When it was announced some months
ACC that Mr.. Lorimer had been elected
to the United States Senate from ILL
nois. there was a feeling of depression
at an apparent backward step. The
people of the country who strive through
the press to keep in touch with public
men and measures. were expecting an
other kind of man as Senator from that
great State. Now it appears from con-
LESSONS of bribe-takers that this election
was the result of bribery and that it
was scandalous in the extreme. There
can be no doubt that Mr.. Lorimer is
not the proper person to hold his seat
in the United States Senate. The most
becoming thing that he can do is to re-
sign. By taking such a step he will do
grace to himself, to the Senate and to
the country. The exposure of the fact
that the Legislators were bought up at
$1,000 a head to elect Lorimer is another
proof that United States Senators should
be elected by a direct vote OF the people.

where a fire can easily originate.
I'VE have had a. half dozen fires

property owners who are willing to in
volve not only their own property but
that of others through utter careless
ness and a determination not to obey
the ordinance If these names were
listed for the benefit of the fire insur-
ance companies there would be a gen
eral raise of rates on all adjoining
