Tariff Thinkers

The articles the Democratic House
of Representatives proposes to put
on the free list are mostly those
used by farmers and various. news
papers are pointing out that the
action taken is merely as bid for
the votes OF the farmers. So far
the Democratic end of the House has
advanced no scientific reason or
basis for such action and 1t is evil
dent that the party has merely
plunged into tariff tinkering with
the one purpose as stated in view.
1t! is stated that the Democratic
program on fr, raw materials, on
which the Wils i tariff bill was
originally frame-, has no proper
connection with this arbitrary prop
osltion. The Wheeling Intelligen-
Ger claims for Mr.. Wilson that he
was tariff student. The Intelli-
gencer says that his conception OF
a tariff based on the principle OF
free raw materials, with correspond
ing reductions in the tariff duties on
finished products was at least logical
and practical, The program out
lined by Democratic leaders OF the
present House is without logic,
without scientific connections and is
simply bid for support OF par
ticular class of voters. There is, of
icourse, no danger. that any portion
OF the Democratic program will soon
be enacted into law. A Republican
Senate and Il Republican President
stand as bulwarks against this vote
getting proposition. However, it may
he justly considered an indication of
the spirit in which the majority OF
the House of Representatives APP
breaches the problem OF tariff con-
struction.
"A play for the votes, instead OF a
serious and thoughtful effort to re
lieVe tariff abuses and improve tar
iff conditions, is what they offer
the American people. 1t has been
the weakness OF the national Demo-
cratic party that it has never met a
national problem with vigor and in
telligence, and has never produced
a logical solution of national ques-
ton. Burdened with responsibility,
III has almost Invariably failed to
rise to the occasion. Nothing that
has so far developed in Congress in
dicates that this long record Of leg
islative impotence will be broken.

Rough sleiding abead.

The West Union Record, a Demo-
cratic newspaper says there is rough
shedding ahead for the democratic
organization in this state and quoting
the Record literally the following is
given:
That the trio OF subsidized news

press OF the state is expressing itself
In no uncertain tones, which shows
that ne who fayors the reelection
OF corporation millionaire to the
Senate will have mighty rough
shedding among the Democrats OF
West Virginia next year. One OF
the latest utterances along this line
is from the Grafton Leader, a loyal
supporter OF Col. John r. McGraw,
in reply TO statement about
young fellows made by the Fair
mont Times. many OF whom were
supporting Democratic tickets loyal
ly all through the years of disloy-

Beard praises Ear.y Scouts.

Daniel c. Bear. national scout
commissioner of the Boy Scouts of
America, has this to say about the
heroes OF the old world and of the
new:
II would cut off tho old world ideas
Of heroes. We have established a
new brand of heroes, the old pig
skin heroes, who taught the world
scouting, because they were up
against the finest set OF savages
God ever made. The wild Indians
scalped us and made men of us and
taught us how to behave ourselves.
A tenderfoot who went out West in
the old days did not live long at all,
and the passing minute man soon
decorated the wigwam OF the Indian.
1t was the man on the job who had
all his faculties all the time that
lived. Such a man was Daniel
Boone, Simon Kenton and Davy
Crockett. All OF them were gentle
men, and what is more, they were
all moral men. Daniel Boone never
used a vulgar or profane expression
in his life. The old p:g-skin hunter
never took life willingly or If he
could help it. He was man with
a mission. Any one of them would
have won a place in the university
football team. They would all have
made good strokes in the eight
cared shells. They were all good
men, and from their descendants we
are filling the halls of Congress and
the Senate today with the best men
we have got. They are leading in
finance. they are leading in the pro-
fessions from the energy derived
from those pioneers. Those are the
men want to be the heroes of our
boys, but not the Jack Sheppard or
the Jessie James type we have In
our country. Not Robin Hood the
robber and Three-Flngered Jack.
We want to make our scouts men,
and mostly men OF mind. men Of
chivalry, men who can do things
and be things"

Enster and the Nation.

With the resurrection period OF
the year at hand, when new life is
taking the place OF the dead things
Of the earth, such as the grass, the
flowers and the cheerfulness OF
spring, the Easter season comment
Grating the greatest resurrection Of
all, that of the Saviour, when the
stone was rolled away and He
thought dead came forth not as hu-
man longer but as spiritual, is
ushered in. There is gladness and
there is peace.
As all know the significance
Of Easter and its origin, the Tele-
gram leaves it to the ministers to
impress that knowledge religiously
and essays only to take up a matert-
al phase or two. Several nations
observe Easter but its meaning is
not more greatly illustrated and
demonstrated than by our own ma
ton.
The last few years peoples have
been resurrected through the good
Offices OF the United States, the
great spreader OF worldwide peace,
and today our country is ready to
intervene in troublous Mexico.
Perhaps, before another moon inter
yention will have been engaged in
successfully.
Our country stands out more pre-
eminently than any other for in
ternattonal peace. amity and world
wide fraternity and much has been
achieved along this line not only by
the government hut also by individ-
uals and associate bodies. The
world has felt the strong but gen
tie hand OF Uncle sam in the world
wide peace propaganda, though IT
has been necessary to resort 10
arms in our intercessions for the
materia, welfare OF foreign peoples.
Uncle Sam has rescued, saved, and
he will continue to extend the pro-
teoting hand. the aiding arm to the
victims Of oppression and mis-gov-
ernment

rected, Cuba has come forth a new
nation, Russia and Japan were per-

inadvertently the Telegram may
have left the impression that the
sheriff of Braxton county is DEM
ocrat. This newspaper is happy TO
say that Braxton has Republican
sheriff and it is pleased to say in his
behalf that while the state audit
showed an alleged shortage, It was
not because OF any wrong commit
ted but because of an unsettled
question as to whether the sheriff is
entitled to certain commissions. The
courts should pass on this question
at the earliest possible time.

The following editorial message
by the West Union Record is doubt
less very sad one to the two news
papers mentioned therein:

The Graduating Dress.

With the approach OF graduation
days in the public schools considera-
BILE attention is being paid by the
press to the subject OF propriety in
the matter of dress with a view to
encouraging simplicity and avoid
ance Of expense out of consideration
for those pupils whose circumstances
Will not permit them to appear to as
good advantage as their more for.
tunate schoolmates. Ordinarily a
good democracy exists among the
pupils OF the public schools and it
is lamentable when anything occurs
to draw lines of distinction where
none naturally exists.
The subject is an old one, perhaps
coexistent with the public schools,
and scarcely year passes that 1t
does not come UP for discussion in
the schools and homes as we'll as in
the press.
"a sirl graduate is sweet and love

the gown she wears when she re-
eeives her certificate of proficiency
IN the studies pursued by her, but
because of her personality and the
sentiment that attaches to her bud

youth and personal beauty are de-
sraeted from rather than enhanced
Dy display in dress. It suggests
the idea now she has completed the
studies Of the high school, she is
READY Tor society, when In fact she
has only laid the foundation for
those accomplishments which fit her
TO adorn it and qualify her for the
sterner duties OF life. The display
OF hnery is also out of harmony
with the suggestion of her gradua-
ton, which implies anything but
the vanity of dress and display.

The Telegram threw baited hook
INTO the muddy water in and about
the Exponent office about the sheriff
OF Braxton county but it took that
newspaper two days to bite. In fact.
the Telegram had to show it the
bait before 1t even nfbbled, and now
for the first time since it came to life
that sheet is praising a Republican
sheriff. The Telegram is satisfied
with the catch.

It is stated that the Democratic
press Of the state is resenting the
fact that the senators from this
state can not appoint postmasters.
That is why it is SO bitter against
certain Republican politicians who
1t believes do have a hand in that
line of work.
