A Present-Time Inquiry.

Z
Oh, say.
Amt we getting TOO gay?
Amt we going too fast
To last?
Amt we whooping things up so much
Well all be in Dutch?
Amt we pushing to hard
Without regard
To anything except that we
MIST do it all Immediately?
Amt we banging all records
In way that ought
To prove that our energy
Is overwrought?
The aeroplane is on the wing
And flying around like everything
To show that man beyond doubt,
Has got the bird game beaten out;
The Lusitanias added powers
Have cut her time to fever hours
Than any other ship has done
On any other transatlantic run;
We've reached the top notch Of the
earh
And got the pole for all it's worth;
The highest buildings scrape the sky,
The fastest trains go whizzing by,
The athletes do their strongest stunts,
The greatest hunter fiercely hunts,
The quickest autos NOW us down,
In open field and crowded town,
The largest wages go to toll,
The biggest crops enrich the soil,
The fastest thing on earth's too slow;
The biggest is too small,
And everybody seems to want,
To get ahead of all.
That we are going some
Can not be denied,
But on the side,
Amt we going too fast
To last?
Can't somebody say where the limit is? :

"Waa the tariff raised or lowered"
sas been an ihsistent question ever
since the Payne-Aldrich law was en-
acted three years ago. The tariff
board avoided answering It.
: In making my official report to the
board / submitted a table that did
answer this question in respect to each
one, excepting three, of the 100 cloth
samples around which our months OF
investigation centered. After mitch
sidestepping and discussion this table
was expurgated and published in its
emasculated form. The boards excuse
was that 1t was not its duty to answer
the question; congress could make its
own computations.
Benefit Only TO Privilege.
/ From every point of view of the
tariff CRATER 1t is no doubt highly de-
sirable that such facts, staggering as
they are to the dishonest pretensions
that the cotton tariff was really lower
ed, should be buried as deeply "a pos
sible in a mass Of unexplained stats
ties. But it is to the advantage of
every honest manufacturer and mer-
chant who is seeking stability in busi-
= ness and fair opportunity to make a
reasonable profit that the truth should
be made known. Just such policies of
official evasion and suppression have
made possible in the past the Juggling
of tariff legislation by and in behalf of
the privileged few.-New York World

 Probably the most quiet Fourth in re- cent years was spent in Brewton when a heavy downpour of rain broke up the safe and sane programme, the main fea- ture of which was two base ball games.
 The games with Atmore had been well advertised and there were many visiting fans from neighboring towns, special car bringing many Atmore rooters.
 The damp weather however, did not ruin the plans for dance in the temple parlors and a large crowd of young peo- pie gathered there and spent very en- joyable evening.
