already been nominated for Congress
man by the Democrats will have a
walk over. He has no opposition.
Tuesday was the last day of which
candidates tor offices.to be filled at the
November election could file their pet
itions to get their names on the ballot
for the August primary. Col. Jack
Chinn, IN the Eighth district, was the
only Democratic candidate who failed
to file his retition. Col. Chinn with
drew from the race for Congress in
the Eighth in a speech at Lancaster.
John c. Thomas, who wanted TO be a
Republican candidate for Congress IN
the Fourth district, did not file his per-
sonal petition, although he filed a
petition signed by the requisite num-
Der of voters of sthe district. it is
doubtful if his name will go on the
primary ballot in the Fourth, as the
law requires a personal petition as
we'll as petition signed by the voters.
Two Democrats are seeking the NOM

Why Slight Good Roads

The United States spends annually
S95, 900, 900 tor the maintenance of a
standing army. S125, 200, 900 annually
for its naval establishment and S4, 900, :
900 annually for diplomatic represen-
tatives abroad. But the United States
government spends nothing annually for
good roads. The Democratic House,
however, has appropriated SIS, 900, 900
for the Improvements or the nation s
highways, and if the Republican senate
does not chloroform the bill, Congress
Will have lnaugurated a public policy
which will permit the farmers of the
country to receive the benefits of a
larger proportion Of the vast govern

History Pepeats Itself

If the Republicans are swept from
power on November because of their
failure to keep tariff promises. it will
not be the first time tnat the tariff
operated to the same end against the
party of protection.
During the war the tariff had been
elevated to the skies but afterwards
the Democrats tried to have 1t reduced.
BY 1880 the Republicans had to notice
the demand. They promised downward
revision but in 1882 passed a bill max
ing only slight reductions. The public
got mad-just like it is now over the
PayneA Aldrich bill and in 1884 elected
Cleveland
When the Republicans got into power
they boosted the tariff. which had been
lowered by the Democrats. Prices
went up. the rank and file became in
dignant, and in 1892 again made
Grover Cleveland president.

TRUANT OFFICER WINS BOYS
Goes at Them In an Entirely New Way
and They All Think Him the
Best Ever.

Phoenixville, Pa-One of the claims
made with much pride by the local
school authorities is the almost COM
plete absence Of truancy, and those
who know give much of the intelligent
activity Of the towns truant officer,
William S. Armstrong, and the popu-
larity he has won among pupils. There
is probably not another truant officer
in the state who has such a record of
achievement in his line as has Officer
Armstrong, and for five years he has
worked with singular effectiveness.
Truancy used to be much in vogue
among Phoenixville schoolboys, and
the new truant officer started in to
break up the growing practice. Speak
ing OF his early experience, and de-
scribing his methods, officer Arm
strong said: Il did not go about my
work in the 'hammer-and-tongs' meth

quainted with the habitual truants. Wis

Biggest Issue Of All

How issthe cost Of living to be redu-
ced.s This is the most Important quest
ION before the American people. Its
solution is more vital far than the iden-
tlty of'the next President.
Under the present system Of excess
I've protection. those who toll are each
year finding it more difficult to make q
living while the comparative handful
OF mlllionaires who chiefly reap the
benefit of this toll spend their time in
ldleness and dissipation, their fortunes
meanwhile increasing in proportion to
the cost of living. The result is
that many Americans particularly the
hardWorklng poor, are becoming plain
ly disgusted with the way things are
going; disgusted even with this form
OF government and are turning to So
cialism.
Tnis feeling on the part of the
Wagearner is simply history repeating
itself. Extravaganza and poverty,
~A-N VI 1CDuUlIC SUOWS, never
made good bed-felows in a "cradle of
lirbety." 1t is obviously important
that the high cost of living probem'be
solved before the unrest grows to great
er proportions. The earlier it is solv-
ed the better for the republic. Which
party will solve it. The Republican
party or the Democratic party? The
Republican theory has always been
that the heavier the tariff tax on the
things eaten, worn or used by the
people. the better for that people.
The Democratic theory is that to re-
duce taxation is to reduce prices. The
people must choose between the two
policies, the policy of protection or
the policy of merely enough tariff to
raise sufficient revenue to meet the
actual expense of the government.
