Or. HENRY CULLEN
NAMED EVANGELIST
Former Pastor of Milan Church Hon.
ored by New PreSbytery West
of Missouri River.

DR.. Henry Cullen, who became well
known to twin-city people during the
time he was pastor Of the Presby-
terrain church in Milan, and who has
for some time been pastor of the
Dallas, s. D., Presbyterian church,
has resigned that position and has
been chosen pastor-evangelis Of a
new presbytery recently formed in
the region west of the Missouri river
and extending from Nebraska to
North Dakota.
DR.. Cullen takes up his new duties
July l and his intention is to make
his headquarters in Dallas for the
present, at least. The new presby-
terry has also elected him as its mod
orator for the coming six months.
The Dallas News says: About six
months ago DR.. Cullen was selected
to take the craftsmanship of the home
mission committee. While acting in
that capacity he did aggressive work
and came into touch with the entire
field and its needs. Naturally upon
the retirement of Rev. Mr.. Evans
the mantle fell upon DR.. Cullen.
This proposition came to DR.. Gull
len without any solicitation on his
part. Dallas will lose an efficient
pastor but the larger field will gain
a master of every situation"

COST OF LIVING is
TRACED TO IS SOURCES;
SOLONS DODGE TARIFF

CONTINUED from Page One)
After mentioning every conceivable
thing which might tend to increase
the cost of living, the republican ma
jOrity OF The committee reached the
conclusion that the tariff had been no
material factor in causing the advance
in prices during the past decade"
The public was entitled TO an in
vestigation that would have revealed
the whole truth and pointed out ways
to better conditions. 1t was entitled
to have this done by men honest and
courageous enough to consider only
the public interest. 1t has had, in
stead, an investigation intended to de-
ceive the people into putting their
faith in men who have repeatedly pc
trayed them, conducted by politicians
incapable of rising above petty poll
tics, and seeking only their own per
sonaI advantages and the protection
of the special interests they represent.
VIII Not Agree.
The democrats of the committee
criticised the report and will present
another.
The report of the majority of the
price investigating committee adds
nothing TO the literature of present
day economics.
To hold that an import tax is not
added to the price of an article is TO
writer's on political economy of the
world
When the German government in
PRODUCED its tariff law of 1902, it pub
Iishod with it a statement in which it
was frankly admitted thar inland
prices are raised, so far as con-
sideration of circumstances of the last
10 years will allow us to judge in pro-
portion to the duties
Another illustration of the close re-
lation of import duties to the price of
an article is found in the fact that the
price of bread in Germany is always
in excess of the price of bread in free
trade Great Britain by almost exactly
the amount of the German tariff on
bread. or wheat, of which the bread
is made.
Shown Nearer Home.
Coming nearer home the difference
in the cost of living in Detroit and
Just across the river in Windsor, Cana
da. supplies another striking illustra-
ton of the fact that protection does
effect prices. Prices of fOOdstuffs,
wearing apparel and rents average
from 20 to % per cent more in Detroit
than in Windsor. And between the
two cities there are but 1851 feet of
water-and the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law!
The Detroit man is protected" and
the Windsor man isn't
BY not being protected" the Wind
sor man pays SIS for suit of clothes
that the Detroit man viii find it diff
cult to duplicate in quality for $25.
What the Windsor man is escaping in
this instance in the Payne-Aldrich tax
of A cents a pound on good Atwood
clothes, and the additional tax of 60
per cent of the value of the goods
How Account for Thiss
If the tariff has nothing to do with
the cost of living, how does the Lodge
price investigating committee account
for the following comparative prices
in cities less than one-half mile apart:
