step further and declare that ice
cream, soda water, flowers and
confectionery, as we'll as a let of
other things, should be locked up
Saturday night and held until
Monday morning.
1t is passing strange, however,
that any American community
still believes in petty coercion, in
matters which might better be left
to individual conscience and
judgment.
1t was the old New England way
to say ''thou shalt" and "thou
shalt not" yet it will not be held
that the world is not vastly i'm
proved since those old blue laws
days.
The kindest people are those
who best know the virtue of toler-
ance. The happiest communities
are those who hold the individual
largely responsible for his own
acts. But lola is not the only
community where no discovery of
this fact has been made.-St. Lou

Information Wanted.

The State Historical Society of
Missouri was organized by the
State Press Association; it has al
ways appreciated the value of the
newspapers as original sources of
history, and now has 5000 bound
volumes of periodicals, 500 more
in the bindery, and 1000 other
volumes unbound for want of
funds to have the binding done.
It wishes to bind every periodical
published in the State, and will
preserve what it cannot now bind
until such time as it can get funds
for binding.
Some time ago the Missouri
Historical Review published a list
OF papers belonging to the Society
issued in Missouri before the or
ganization of the Society in 1898.
This list contained 110 titles, part
of which were changes OF name of
some of the papers in the list.
The Review also published three
papers prepared by Miss Minnie
Organ, while she was connected
with the Society, and giving the
history of all the country news
papers of Missouri from 1908 to
1895, work of great, research and
historical value. These papers
gave the names of 3S7 newspapers,
number considerably increased
by frequent changes of names.
Of many of these papers no file
is known to be in existence; OF
quite number the destruction by
accidenta and by intentionis known.
The Society is now anxious to pre-
serve what can yet be found, and
will welcome the presentation OF
single copies where more cannot
be given. To such as desire it
terms will be made for exchanging
the quarterly publication of the
Society for these old publication.
The Secretary, F. A. Sampson,
asksfor correspondence from any
one giving information about old
files or single numbers.

Washington Correspondence.
BY C. H. TAvENNER.

BY C. H. TAvENNER.
\ WASHINGTON, JUNE t5-Why i,
the Republican party beset by it
present difficulties? This question
can be answered with one word
tariff.
The tariff was originally en-
pleyed to meet the expense of the
Civil war. To raise money fol
this the government decided to tax
every article of manufacture. The
American manufacturer com
planned of this, and justly. They
said the taxes were so heavy as to
be ruinous, because they could
not compete with imported arti-
cles which did not have to carry
this tax. So a plan was devised
to protect the American manu-
facturers.
"We will place tariff on all i'm
ported articles" said the govern
ment. (which will put you on an
even or better-than-even footing
with your foreign competitors"
Everyone understood this pro-
tective system was to be but tenn
porary, to meet an unusual con-
dition, and that the tariff on i'm
ports would be abolished when it
became no longer necessary to re-
quire the American manufacturers
to pay tax on their manufactures.
But in the meantime the privi-
legged few had discovered that in
the tariff lay means by which
they could build up enormous for
tunes. These fortunes were point
ed to as an evidence that the tar
iff was a good thing. The pro-
tectionists fooled the people by
making them believe that these
fortunes had come from "the for
eigners," when the fact was that
these fortunes had been wrung
from the common people who were
forced to pay artificially high
prices for the things necessary to
life.
The protectionists knew in their
hearts of this deception, and then
aRd there did humbug and fraud
become part and parcel of politics.
But the people have learned at
last that tariff for protection, that
a tariff for any other purpose than
to raise sufficient revenue to meet
the expense of the government, has
no excuse in logic or economics.
1t needs no argument to convince
the average man now that to re-
duce taxation is to reduce prices.
From the first, the manufacturer
have never been satisfied with
reas enable amount of protection,
but they keep on demanding more
and more. The result is that the
American consumers are to-day
paying dividends on a trust capi-
talization of thirty-three billion
dollars, seventy per cent of which
is water, while American working
men and women, particularly
those who labor for the most high
ly protected trusts, are receiving
wages as low as So, 81, and So q
week.
And this is the reason why the
republican party is beset by its
present difficulties.

COAL BARoNs GREEDY.

Preparations are being made to
add SIS, 100000 to the nations coal
bill this winter. Each one of US
must contribute our prorate to the
fortunes of the coal barons. There
is no reason or justice for the ex-
tent of the increase, except that
the millionaire coal kings want
the money and are in position to
make the people either "come
across" or freeze.
The coal operators, who have
been forced to grant the miners an
increase OF wages, which they say
will mean an additional cost of So,
900, 900 in labor, are going to force
the consumer to pay sufficiently
high price for coal to enable them
to stand this increase, along with
an additional extortion of $4,000,
900, which will be clear profit to
the trust. Thus for every dollar
increased prices that the coal oper-
ators propose to tollect this winter
for the miners, they have decided
to extort two dollars for them
selves. All US helpless consumers
=
have to do 10 to pay the bill. AL
ways, always, it's the consumer
who pays.
