Mr.. Voter. haven't you noticed
mat Bison : arguments are singu-
.ar!y free from promises or guar
antees showing that Bison will
continue to be satisfied with the
courthouse now build? No, Bison
is making no pledges to save the
county money, by refraining from
efforts to compel the building of
new county buildings at Bison.
Here's a prophesy: Should Bison
get the permanent county seat
agitation for new buildings will
be commenced within a month to
compel the county fathers to
spend S., 600 annually in new
buildings, until Bison shall have
county Improvements enough in
that t-of-the-Way place, to
make 1t a terrible sacrifice if the
people should decide to move.
What say you. voters, is it rea-
sonable to let Bison spend coun-
tvs money in building itself up,
at the expense of the people.
when such improvement means
expense without adequate return?

AT LAST

THE school teachers have finally bee n
paid their salaries for last years work.
To do this, however, 1t was necessary to
take the money out of the school funds
for the present year. The school teach
ers were not paid out of last year 8
school funds simply because the former
school board over-spent those funds. An
examination of the records shows that
Mr.. w. D. BIatton as School Superin-
tendent was wholly unjustified In MIS-
efforts to make 1t appear that the teach
ers were not paid because the County
Commissioners were not furnishing the
School Board with the funds due them.
The records show that the County
Treasurer for several years has made
his payments to the School Treasurer
in time to provide for prompt payment
of the teachers salaries. The milk in
the cocoanut is that deficit of $7,191. 10
in the school fund for the fiscal year
ending July 81, 1912.
We want to congratulate the teachers
that they at last got their money" We
also want to congratulate the county
that it has gotten rid of Mr.. w. d.
Bratton as Superintendent of Schools.
Mr.. Bratton's life long experience has
fitted him rather exclusively for that
sphere of petty political activity which
most properly engages him.

BUTTING AGAINST FACTS

NOW that Congress has adjourned the
Democratic newspapers are doing the
best they know how to make use of that
record so laboriously prepared by the
Democratic majority of the House. it
is rather a sorry looking record upon
which to base an appeal for popular con-
fdence, but that and DR.. Wilson's tariff
talk vagaries are about all there Is to
travel on. Under the circumstances 1t
is not surprising to find the organs OF
the Democracy falling back upon the
same old worn and tattered theory which
they have been endeavoring to put
over" during the past half century. This
antiquated and now thoroughly discred-
tied theory that the Republican pro-
tective policy Is bad thing for the
country, and that Democratic free trade,
if the country would only try it, would
be good thing.
To prove that the protective policy
under which the country has for so long
and so continuously prospered is wrong
the free-trade organs are, according to
their ancient custom, marshaling figures
about balance of trade, about the dis
tributon of the tax burden and other
questions concerning which there is no
end to the possibilities or word juggling.
On the other hand, in arguing for
protective policy, 1T is only necessary
for Republican newspapers to point to
results. AS Josh Billings once remark
ed, 1T amt no use argying agin fact"
Less than two decades ago the Demo-
cratic party had its chance to produce
the kind of tariff which it had been ad-
vocatng. During the second administra-
ton of Grover Cleveland both branches
of Congress were Democratic and the
Wilson German tariff was produced. I'm
der the working of that tariff the bust
ness of the country, all kinds of bust
ness, including agriculture, manufactur-
ing and trade, were Frustrated. 1t was
an era of hard times. Why try to "argy
agin the fact?

TARIFF SCHEME IS MASK,
SAYS WOODROW WILSON
Declares THAT Many Private
JeStS Grin Behind It"-0p-
poses Decisions

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE face of
general advantage worn by the tariff
scheme is a mask and many private
jests grin behind it," declared Gov
Woodrow Wilson in an address on tar
iff make believe" at a dinner of the Re-
form club, where he and other speakers
including Senator Thomas Gore, of Okla
homa; former Assistant. United States
Treasurer Charles H. Hamlin and Con-
gresham Henry George, are united in
holding the tariff issue up as chief
among all issues of the political cam
paign.
The top-heavy, lopsided unsym-
metrical bulk of American industrial en-
terprise is plain to be seen by everyone"
said Governor Wilson after declaring
that the protective tariff was conceived
in day of individual enterprise of every
kind whereas today the whole scene had
been changed into one 'monstrosities of
development and flaws that were
meant to stimulate everybody are now
plainly seen to rebound to the advantage
of a smaller and smaller number of
persons in whose hands the larger mass
es of capital have steadily accumulated"
Inc governor favored ulSpaSSlOndIe
dealing with the tariff question and ad-
vised against ANY changes so drastic or
so rapid as to endanger the very fibre of
our industrial system" But, he said near
the close of his address, I'VE should adj
dress ourselves to the question of the
tariff with determination first to strip
it of all make-believe and then calmly,
prudently but without hesitation of fear
deal with the facts themselves"
The governor declared himself opposed
to the various and varying decisions or
the United States supreme court in re-
gard to the Sherman antitrust law.
Senator Gore declared that the pros
perity Of American manufacture was not
due to the tariff but the thrift of the
American people. We declared that the
tariff had outgrown its swaddling
clothes and it demands an old age
pension in the form of a continued high
tariff"
Letters of regret from Champ Clark,
Oscar Underwood and Governor Harmon,
of Ohio, were read. Each expressed him
self as in hearty accord with a revision
of the tariff.
