Local Fair

The farmers have taken up the
matter in earnest of an agricultural
fair to be held in Chanute the com
ing year and are holding meetings
in the couRtry school houses and
soliciting membership.
The farmers can make a success
of the fair If they will, and the way
they are taking hold of the matter
this early and pushing it, we have no
doubt of its being a great big sue
cess.
The organization has leased the
fair grounds of the local association.
We can think of nothing that prom
ises more for the agricultural inter-
ests of this community than well
conducted agricultural fair and we
hope everybody will boost it along.

Got Il Wrong

The MabrAy gang of swindlers
got it right this time. They were
all heavily fined and sent to prison.
They carried on pretty safe game.
They selected their victim and then
organized a race of some kind or a
prize fight and some slick member
of the gang approached the vietim
and gave him some inside dope, as
sur,Ag h1m that the thing was fixed
and some easy and sure money
could be made. The victim, but
little better than the organizors of
scheme, was too willing to put up
his money on a fixed and sure thing.
But some how some sccident or slip
always occurred and the poor dupe
always lost his money to the gang.

The Cost of Strikes

"There was never a strike that
did not cost more than it came to-"
Substantially this assertion has been
hammered into his former parishion
ers of St. Patrick's church by
Father-now Blshop-Lillis during
his twenty-five years incumbency
of that parish before he was pro-
NOTED to the bishopric of Leaven-
worth. These emphatic words of
this sturdy churchman, able thinker
and warm, fearless friend of the
workingman, as well as of human
souls generally, are we'll worth com
mending to the attention of the
leather workers and members of the
various elher unions who have gone
on strikes or are about to embark
in this perilous industrial contest.
Bishop Lillls has been a close obser-
yer of men and events for mere than
quarter of a century, aud he is a
man of muah more than ordinary
ability. 1t is safe to say that his
judgment on such subject is as
good as that of any man In Kansas
City. When, therefore, he clothes
the result of almost lifetime of
keen observation of mems acts and
motives as well as a careful analysis
of their actions in such an emphatic
summary as that we have quoted
above, his decision is we'll worthy
of close consideration and obedi-
ence. There is little danger that
any body of men that takes his ad-
vice will come TO grief or make a
serious mistake in so dong. The
strike of the 27,o ,ooe railway firemen,
which threatened to throw Iz5, 900
other allied union men out of en-
ployment, has been averted by a
generous spirit of compromise and
concessions on both sides. Had it
been precipitated, no matter which
side won, it would have led to life
long troubles and caused incon
ceivable miseries to the men direct
ly interested in the struggle as well
as to the innocent victims, the thou
sands of women and children whose
lives would have been directly or in
directly affected by its outcome.
These leather workers who are now
embarking upon a strike In which
they are sure to lose more than they
can possibly gain even il they win
the points Involved in their demands,
may we'll take heed of this able,
fearless priests words; "There was
never a strike that did not cost more
than it came to-" Strikes are wrong
in principle and therefore can not
bear good fruits in action. Who're
ths foundation stone is laid wrong
the superstructure must always be
insecure and nsafe.-Kansas City

Looking Into High Prices.

y
The attempt to belabor the party
in power with the new tariff as the
alleged cause of the high cost q
living will fail, because the charge
is untrue and its falsity can be easily
proved. High prices are not con
fined to this country or to any one
nation or continent. The advance
is worldwide and as pronounced In
free trade England as anywhere.
A few days ago an American spec
ulator who visited the floor of the
Manchester Cotton Exchange was
treated with violent rudeness and
seems to have escaped lynching only
by hurried retreat. The cotton
mills of Manchester are Its chief
industry, and the fact that cotton
there costs twice as much as in 1924
is an example of a rise In price
entirely unrelated to tariff. Cotton
Is on the British free list. and so the
talk heard there is that wealthy
spectators corner the American
market and squeeze the manu-
facturers and spinners. No doubt
Manchester would say that the tar IF
Is the mother of the cotton trust, If
there is such an organization. But
with cotton admitted free the tariff
theory is unavailable. So the rich
speculater is said to get coatrol of
the cotton supply and make even a
great mart like Manchester dance to
his music.
During the great coal strike in the
United States few years ago 1t was
represented in Congress that the
duty of 81 cents ton on coal need
only be removed 10 relieve the
situation and abolish the danger Of
coal famine. Some impassior ed
speeches we're heard on the subject
and. without delay, Congress sss-
pended the duty. Coal was on the
free list for many months, but none
worth mentioning came in. Foreign
export prices of coal were at once
marked up. But consumers know
that high coal or coal famines
are not matter of 81 cents a
ton. The average customer would
hardly notice variation in price
with no greater range than that.
In the leading countries government
commissions are investigating the
causes of high prices, but without
reaching definite conclusions so far.
Theories vary, but not one yet has
been satisfactorily clinched. No
country isimmune from the a vance.
No tariff policy has been shown to
, be material in regard. to prevailing
prices. Demagogues will not
hesitate to resort to deception and
play upon prejudice and ignorance,
for this has always been their trade.
But they will not fool the intelligent
searcher for the truth.

Danger Ahead

The "Tarlff system"is blamed for
creating prosperity that has enabled
men to get rich; but the same sys-
TEN has also made high wages for
working-men; it has made high
prices for farm products; it has
made the commonest homes of to
day little palaces compared with the
same class ofhomes two generations
ago in Free Trade days.
Why, then, should we want to
tear down system that is making
eighty millions of people happy and
prosperous because, psrchance, eight
or ten thousand are getting too rich2
Better preserve the system and curb
the unruly ones.
A wise man doesn't destroy
bridges or lay pitfalls in the road he
Is travelling because one of the
horses he drives is faster than the
others. He puts short rein on the
fast stopper and shorter chain on
the double tree of the stronger one,
bat he keeps his roads clear and
bridges In good repair. 1t should
be the same with government.
We must not curb prosperity, but
we can curb those who are taking
undue advantages of its opportun-
titles.
Those insurgents" who favor a
lower Tariff should be sure they are
net helping to destroy system that
has made the country great and
prosperous. 1t is but a short step
from Glow" Tariff to Free Trade
We cannot all agree as to schedules;
our eountry is too large and our in
terests too vast and varied. But we
can agree and do agree on the
"system;" the matter of schedules
must be adjusted from year to year
as the country expands and its re-
quirements change.
Those Republicans who imagine
themselves 'insurgsnts" because of
an imaginasy slight disagreement In
Tariff schedules need to wake up
and take stock of themselves. They
should ask "whither are we drift
ing~ And these se-called Stand
patters" must realize that changing
conditions demand changing schr-
dulles in our Tariff laws.
But to both 'insurgents" and
"stand-patters" we sound the warn
ing that in their wranglings ever
words and phrases, and in their
striving for place or power they are
endsngering "system" that has
made their ;. country prosperous.
Both should adhere to the principles
of the Republican party, working to
accomplish "the greatest good to
the greatest number" regardless of
the ambitions of demagogues or the
day dreams of fanatics. -Muskogee
