SHERMAN TO se ourpoNsr

President Sen of the Chinese re- public. Is to march upon PelSin at the head of an army one hundred thou sand strong. and that certainly makes our famous nifty thousand strong sherman while marching through Georgia, seem rather small in number But there are numbers and numbers. men and men. and We dare say that ths fifty thousand soldiers who fol- lowed after Sherman in his march to the sea, after cutting away from his base. would clean out the hundred thousand Chinamen 10 follow Presi- dent Sen to Pekin. with as much ease as he stamps in our local custom mill goes through the tons of ore shipped to that institution to be cent on through the stamps.
 History is made up of battles and wars without number, and generals have marched to the wars with mar tial music playing. banners flying. and so many men in line that Sherman could have made up or selected sew eral armies from their numbers. but his feat stands out pre- eminently by itself and all patriot Americans can sing--yeA shout--to the top of their voices tha ever popular war song Marching Through Georgia" and know at the same time they are sing ing he praises of an incident in Am- erican history that Is worthy of song , and verse for it perpetrates the name and fame of one of the greatest gen erals who ever lived
 So in the hundred thousand strong that President Sen will lead on 10
 fame and glory. there will be noth- ing in said feat 10 compare with the wonderful victor of our own patriot and general. who has answered his last bugle call and is numbered with the countless army in the great be- yond. but whose memory Is ever kept green because he lead them fifty thousand strong while marching from Atlanta 10 the sea.

BEEF TRUST vs. TARIFF.

The uncertain economic bearing and effect of changes in the tartfr may be illustrated by the criticism directed at Representative Underwood's pro posal to put all mea; products on the free list As Mir Underwood Is chair man of the ways and means commit tee of the house he speaks by author ity for the democratic majority on this subject
 The proposal 10 put meat products on the free lis; was presented with flourish of trumpets as a severe blow at the beef trust. and consequently a benefit 10 the ultimate consumer. who has been complaining about the exait ed and for him impossible prices of bacon and beefsteak
 Now We are insormed-whether cor rectly or not we are unable to say al present-that 10 put meat products on the free list Is just what the beef trust wants and that in another way the removal of the duties would be a Be- were blow 10 the American stock rsisers and hog farmers. John Cailan O'Loughl!n writing from Washington. tells how il win he done:
 As matter of fact. investigation has established that the provision is really in the interest Of the packers s1 the farmers II will enable the pack CTS 10 import carcasses from Argen- tina Australia and New Zealand and thus control the prices they pay for American steers. lambs and muttons The consumer will enjoy no reduction Tn price from the admission or meas free of duty. while the farmer. who constitutes the backbone of the pros- perity of the country. may find himself foced 10 sell to the packers at what ever price they may choose 10 give.
 As is we'll known. the packers are independent Of the tarif. They oeased some years ago to hope for recipro- city treaties and devoted themselvee to the establishment of plants abroad. After invading England they found their investment imperlled as a result Of Argentine competition. and to ofr- set il they acquired plants in the South American republic.
 Consequently IT free meat be au- thorized they will be able 10 ship di- rectly from Argentina to the United States. and the only cost involved in the transaction will he the cost of transportation.
 Arguments Of iris sort are justly regarded with suspicion They may bt rue AS far ss they go and yet not state the whole truth. The basis oi the reasoning in this case lies in the assumption that the beef trust hold an impresnable position commercially and legally. IT that Is true then ths American system of government as al present planned Is . failure

While we are talking about the
vast amount of money spent in
this country for tobacco, who is
thinking anything about the coffee
habit, which has such firm hold
on so many people? The man who
fills his stomach with coffee every
day has but little right, if he wants
to be consistent, to indulge in any
criticism of those who use tobacco
The coffee habit is just as useless
as the tobacco habit. Coffee does
not give any permanent strength
to the body. 1t gives only a tenn
pogarX. stimulation, which, when
this effect is over leaves the user
in worse condition than it found
him. We guess the caffeine in cof-
fee is as poisonous to the system of
the constant user as the nicotine
in tobacco is injurious to the sys-
TENS of those who use tobacco reg
ularly. We shouldn't be surprised
if the poison found in coffee is
responsible for more nervousness,
headaches and stomach troubles
than is the poison found in tobacco,

It can truthfully be said that
there is less excitement over poll
tics and political candidates in
Sharp county right now than was
ever known before at this advanced
stage of the campaign. Everybody
ought to be glad to see this condl
ton prevailing There Is absolute
ly nothing to this thing of getting
all wrought up over politics, There
is nothing in losing your head or
your temper over politics or any
particular candidate. Keep your
head and your temper, 1t will
profit you nothing to lose either
because the man who draws the
salary profits most from politics
That's not saying that the voter
should take no interest In politics
or in those who seek Office. Every
citizen should interest himself in
politics enough to find out Tor him
self who are the best and most
capable candidates In the field,
Every citizen should know for him
self what the record of the candi-
date really Is and what he stands
for, Then he Is prepared to cast a
vote for the best interests of him
self and his country and Is fortified
against the smooth politician who
attempts to deceive him. When
the voter knows the politicians and
their records for himself and casts
just such an intelligent ballot as
that knowledge will enable him to
do he has performed one of the
