PARAMOUNT ISSUES IN 1912.

The Chicago Record Herald declare.
there is no paramount issue between
the old parties this year. The Chicago
newspaper had in mind evidently tn,
parties that have a chance of naming
the next president. When the present
outlook of such parties Is examined
the statement of the Record Herald is
found To be substantially true.
The Democrats paramounted free sill
yer in 1896. Imperialism in 1900 and
bank guarantee in 1905 The Repubh-
cans met them on those issues and beat
them each time. In 1904 the issue.

If personalities are to be para
mounted this year the campaign has
started off happily, for there are men
on both sides whose nomination would
insure high-class electioneering.
As to paramount issues Congress
may develop something on the tariff
question, though here the difference
between the parties seems to be too
small to affect many votes. If the
Democrats We're prepared to bring in
a general tariff bill on the basis of a
revenue tariff as opposed to protection,
the Republican party would, no doubt.
welcome the issue. But apparently
that is not to be.
The Democrats will rather continue
passing separate schedule bills, In
which the rates are somewhat re-
duced and the revenues of the govern
ment somewhat imperiled. But there
viii be nothing like a general assault
on protection. That kind of attack is
reserved nowadays for Democrats who
are not candidates for office, and who
are not responsible for the treasury
or the wage level Of the country.
The Sherman Law can hardly be
made an issue without more positive
action on the part OF the Democracy
than it has heretofore taken. 1t has

force the law. 1t has seen one arise.

before the carpenters closed up the
opening and in that manner they nail

whole week, before they located her
whereabouts, and were obliged to
remove a part of the ceiling to re-
move her from her predicament. The
past week, they released her from
the principal chimney on the east
side of the store building after two
weeks absence. 1t appears that she
had gone into the casket room where
the chimney fIue was open. In some
manner she fell to the bottom and
was unable to climb up the inside Of
the chimney. They had mourned
her as dead and thought she was
somewhere in the basement and while
searching for her there, Wilbur Ber-

in the vicinity of the chimney,

went to the second floor, saw heI

chimney and decided that she had
fallen in. He tied three long pieces

to the base of the chimney. To one
