"But do you take counterfeit money

"Certainly l do not"

SCIENTIFIC TARIFF REVISION.

The citizens of the United States
again approach IN issue OF transcen.
dent Importance to them in their eco.
nomic and social life. This is the re.
form of the tariff.
The tariff in turn is the fulcrum on
which swings the question whether
American life and labor shall be pro.
tected against the downward pull Of
European conditions and standards
or shall be exposed to unfair competi.
ton with the low wages and depressed
existence Of Europe.
The republican party stands pledged
to the maintenance Of the policy of
protection and to revision of the tar
if In the interest of the consumer and
with scientific adjustment to present
conditions. But the policy is more
than that OF a party. 1t is the Am.
erican policy, for it was begun by the
federalists under Washington and
Hamilton, continued by the wings IN.
der the leadership OF Clay, and con.
summated by the republicans during
their ascendency from Lincoln to
Blaine.
For many years, however, there has
been a milestone around the neck of
protection. This has been the fact
thai the tariff has been made by it's
benefciaries through their influence
with the politicians. The truth that
protection should protect all classes
of the community, consumers as we'll
as producers, has been obscured by
the need OF protection to infant indus
tries and the selfish demands of par
ticular classes.
1t has become clea r that satisfactory
and equable REIMBURSEMENT of the tariff
cannot be had by the political, sec
tional, selfish and unintelligent meth
DDS that have prevailed in the past,
1t Is believed by immense numbers
OF patriotic and thoughtful Americans
that another method must be adopted.
1t is held by many that the tariff mus
be studied by economic experts who
shall be u~nintluenced by political con
siderations or connections and above
the reach Of special interests.
1t Is their idea that q tariff commits

THE DRY.FARMING CONGRESS

It is announced that the sixth Inter
national Dry.Farming Congress will
meet October 16, at Colorado Springs.
with delegates in attendance from all
parts of the world. The congress is
regarded as the greatest single agri'
cultural force In existence, pointing
the way to developments that will con
fer great benefits to both the producers
and consumers of the United States
and other countries.
Five previous conventions have
been held, the first at Denver, Colo
RADIO, in 1907, with an attendance Of
800 people, and the last at Spokane.
Washington, with more than 1900
registered delegates and an actual at
tendance of double that number.
The Congress is an unique organi'
cation. Its avowed objects are the CO.
operative, scientific study OF agricul.
ture and the development OF better
farming methods in the %sub.humid
or so-called "dry" districts of the
world. 1t has no country to COLOMBO.
It has no lands to sell. Its work Is
utterly im%personal, and, as such, i,
has been officially Endorsed by the
agricultural authorities of many coun
tries.
The world he's discovered, as a gen.
eral truth, that the method used in
farming ia those regions which re.
ceive 20 inches of rainfall or less per
year makes all the difference between
success and failure. The actual farm
er is Just beginning to learn this fact.
A few years ago the agricultural
world was astonished at the news that
q campaign for better farming meth.
DDS in Iowa had succeeded in raising
the annual yield of corn in that state
five bushels per acre. The campaign
now being carried On in the dry.farm.
ing districts frequently determines
whether two bushels or twenty BUSH

crops in proportion, shall be harvest.
ed.
The Congress advocates deep plow-
ing for the production of humus In the
soil, frequent service cultivation and
the maintenance OF q loose surface
mulch to check evaporation and pre-.
serve moisture, the rotation of crops
to preserve soil fertility, the raising
of livestock to the limit of the farms

common sense on the part of the farm.
er as q lubricant for this seasons
labors.
The gradual adoption of these prin'
ciples by the country's "dry farmers
has not only added hundreds of mil.
lions of dollars to the value Of the
lands OF western America, but it is
adding other millions annually to the
crop production of every western state.
For instance, Colorado's agricultural
products this year amount to more
than sl04, 900, 900, or Sl30 per capita.
Never before in the history of the
country has the average per capita
production anywhere been more than
900. Five years ago Colorado's total
annual crop value was less than $40,
600, 600, and the subsequent increase
is largely due to the rapid develop.

THE SOLDIERS HAVE HARD TIME

G. M. A. football team was again
victorious Saturday and scored II
points to Lawrenceburg High School
0. But the victory was only by luck
as the visitors put up the stiftest
proposition that has been seen here
this season. Several times the Ca

by almost superhuman strength that
the G. M. A. line held against the
heavy plunges of Woodland the big
Lawrenceburg full back. Time and
again this big fellow plowed through
the line for five, ten, fifteen and as
much as twenty yard gains. He went
over tackle at will, but the ends and
halves did not give him sufficient sup
port to enable him to score.
Coach McGehee made some chang
es in the line up, that of taking Loo
ney away from tackle and placing
ed the line. McAdams was shifted
from end and put in at tackle. Loo
eney is good at receiving and return
ing punts, but he is much better in
the line and his plays tackle over
tackle have been the most effective
and telling stunts in the games that
have been played here.

The first meeting Of the Students
Club for the new season was held
Saturday morning in the ladies par
Dor of the Century Club. The pro
gram for the coming years study,
promises to be one of unusual inter-
est and benefit.
Women in Industry" was the sub
ject for the day, and each phase of
this theme was ably handled by the
ladies in their different papers.
Mrs. Mary Hines paper, The
Working Woman and Her Wage"
brought forth much interesting dis
cussion. Mrs Hine had made a close
study of her subject, and many peeps
and glimpses were given into the life
of the working woman, some of the
pictures bright, others filed with
gloom and sadness. The pitiabe and
distressing life of the little children
of these bread earning mothers was
forcibly shown by Mrs. Hine. The
long hours and poor pay, almost leav-
ing the little ones entirely to look
out for themselves, the laws of our
own State being very defective where
the children are concerned The very
small ones often being sent into the
factories to labor from early morning
until late at night, never a time for
play or the happy joyous life which
should be the birth right of every
child. Only few days ago one of
the papers of nearby city chroni-
cled the suicide of little boy. He
left the message that he was tired
of living because he had to work all
tie time and could not even 20 to
school and he wanted to go so much.

has been sadly neglected. Nature and

purpose. therefore. of education is to

lection and survival of his family and
the preservation of his government
1t is in the preparation of men for
war. when civil courts fail and con-
ferences and commissions prove futile,
that our educational system proves a
disappointment. When the need arises
VIC must depend almost entirely upon
the patriotism of the citizens to pro-
tect our country. Patriotism Is a quail

past has been potent force in the
winning of victory and a powerful re-
organizer in face of defeat To those
who keep apace with the modern pre-
paration for tho safety of the nation,
II Is fully understood that patriotism
alone can no more win victory than
that good neighhorhood should at
