The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1912-10-18
THE PROGRESS OF THE CAM
PATGN.

The campaign on the Democratic
side is progressing actively and sat
isfactorily to the party. Governor
Wilson, our candidate for the Presi-
dency, has made an extensive speak
ing tour through the West and has
everywhere been received with the
greatest enthusiasm.
Being a close student Of political
economy and man Of broad states
manship, his speeches are highly
educating in their character, giving
the people clearer view of the SUBJ
jects he discusses than they ever had
before. He is in no sense a dema-
gogue, mere vote hunter, and the
people understand it. They are i'm
pressed by his frankness and clear
ness, in discussing questions of pub
lie policy, and he is everywhere gain
ing friends for himself and for his
party. Especially is he happy in
dealing with the tariff question, max
ing it clear to all who hear him, how
the high protective system has been,
in all these years, robbing the people
under the speciOus plea of PrOtec-
ton, and that the Democratic party
proposes to put an end to this evil.
The party is certainly fortunate in
having SO able a man at the head Of
the ticket in this campaign. And the
belief is, that when he goes into the
Presidency the country will have a
Chief Magistrate who will compare
favorably with such men as Jefferson,
Jackson and Cleveland. And what
Democrat can want anything better :?
Indeed, I may say, what citizen of
the country can ask more ?
1t is a. pleasing thing to believe
that the Democratic party is about
to come back to it's own, that Demo-
cratic principles are to be restored to
our government, and that the vicious
system Of high tariff protection,
which we Democrats believe is the
source of most of our troubles, will
be gradually eliminated, and when a
tariff for revenue only" shall be in
stalled.
When this Democratic idea is in
full operation, and it's good results
are felt, the people Of the country
will wonder that they had SO long
endured the delusion that protec-
tive tariff was protecting them, when
i'm fact it was taking the hard-earned
money out OF their own pockets and
putting it into the pockets of the
millionaires, who had been made SO
by the favoritism Of the government.
When the American people come, as
they are now doing, to understand the
true inwardness, Of this matter, Re
publican sophistry can never fool
them again.
you can fool some people all the
time; you can fool all the people
sometimes, but you can't fool all the
people all the time"

FIVE GOOD REASONS.

DR.. Henry Van Dyke, professor OF
English at Princeton, and one OF the
best known of writer's, authors and
lecturers in this country, has given
five good reasons for the support Of
the Democratic ticket in this cam
paign. These reasons are boiled
down TO the finest possible degree
and express more than some would
say i'm a whole book.
The reasons given are First-the
ticket Is fundamentally American;
second-its campaign is Democratic;
third-it is progressive; fourth-it is
practicable; fifth-it is safe.

competent collector, furnished him a

him to collect. HE met with a meas
ure Of success, and collected very
nice sum, but not near all. He is

TAXED, TAXED, TAXED AND THEN
TAXED.

How the public bears the burden
of the tariff was wildly illustrated in
statement made by House Majority
Leader Oscar w. Underwood, reciting
the record of the present Congress
Here Is how he sets forth, as he sees
it, the situation before the American
consumer under the present tariff
system
"Under the present oppressive tariff
law the laboring man returns at night
from his toll, clad in a wooden suit
taxed rs per cent, shoes taxed IL per
cent, stockings and underwear II per

cent, a wool hat and wooden gloves
taxed 78 per cent. He carries a din
ner pail taxed As per cent and kisses
his wife clad in a wooden dress taxed
As per cent. and greets his wife as she
looks through q window pane taxed 62
per cent. with a curtain taxed AZ per

after scraping his shoes on an iron
scraper taxed Is per cent, he wipes
them ON a mat taxed so per cent. He
lifts the door latch taxed As per cent.
and kisses his wife, clad in a wooden
dress taxed rs per cent. She is mend
ing an umbrella taxed so per cent.
with thread taxed 40 per cent.
"The house is made of brick taxed
25 per cent and lumber taxed 9 per
cent, with paint taxed 80 per cent.
Their wall paper was taxed rs per

per cent. He hangs his pail on steel
pin taxed As per cent, using soap tax
ed 20 per cent. His looking glass was
taxed As per cent and he combs his
hair with a rubber comb taxed 35 per
cent.
"He proceeds to eat his supper,
which was cooked on a stove taxed As
per cent, for which his wife uses pots
and kettles taxed As per cent. On their
table is common crockery taxed 55
per cent. and cheap glass tumblers
taxed 46 per cent. The sugar he puts
In his tea is taxed "a per cent, which
he stirs with spoon taxed 45 per
cent His meal is a frugal one be-
cause the cost of living is high.
"He uses a knife and fork taxed so
per cent. in eating salt fish taxed 10
per cent, bread taxed 20 per cent,
potatoes % per cent, salt SO per cent,
butter "a per cent. and rice 81 per

the day he reclines on an iron frame
bed taxed As per cent, with mattress
taxed 20 per cent, sheets taxed As per
cent, wooden blankets taxed rs per
cent. and cotton spread As per cent.
HE is taken sick and the doctor
prescribes medicine taxed 25per cent,
which, being ineffective, he passes
from this active sphere of life and his
remains are deposited i'm coffin tax
ed 80 per cent, which il conveyed to
a cemetery in a wagon taxed 80 per
cent, deposited in its resting place
in mother earth, and the grave filled
in by the use Of spade taxed As per
cent, while over his grave is raised
monument taxed 30 per cent"
Mr.. Underwood at considerable
length reviewed the legislation enact
ed by the Democratic House and con-
demned the Republican policy as dis
closed in the session now closing.

"second-foot," as defined by the
United States Geological Survey, is
an abbreviation for cubic foot per
second and is the unit for the rate of
discharge of water flowing in a
stream 1 foot wide. | foot deep, at a
rate of l foot per second. 1t is gen.
orally used as a fundamental unit in
measurements of stream flow.
"Second-feet per square mile" is
the average number of cubic feet of
water flowing per second from each
square mile of area drained, on the
assumption that the run-off is distrib-
uted uniformly both as regard time
and area.
An 'acre-foot" is equivalent to a.
$50 cubic feet and is the quantity
required to cover an acre to the
depth of l foot The term is COM

age for irrigation work.
One second-foot flow equals 7.4S

"Clothe Calues"
Order on Beach

Atlantic City N. j., Aug. 15.-
Feminine calves" unprotected by
stockings are no longer to be fads
along the beach. Stockingless maids
went under the ban today by order
of Dr.. John T. Beckwith, chief of the
beach patrol, acting under direct or
ders from William Bartlett, director
of the department of public safety.
Shapely damsels, not content with alb
breviated bathing garb. started the
bare leg stunt some weeks ago. Since
then there has been a general move
by athletic girls to follow the suit.
Director Bartlett was shocked when
he sighted several fine specimens
drifting along the strand. The ukase
followed.
Now the girls are protesting that
mere man should be treated likewise.
Commissioner Bartlett refuses to
countenance their remonstrance.

Full Text of Bill
to Allow All Cities
to Own Coal Lands

On July 20 last the Daily Sentinel
gave the first publication in the west
to the plan of the city commission
ers, working in conjunction with Con-
gresham Edward T. Taylor to secure
500 acpes of coal land near this
city, to be used as a municipal fuel
supply. A few days later The Senti-
mel received from Congressman Tay
lor copies of the measure which he
had introduced, giving Grand June
ton first chance at the free coal
land. The Sentinel presented Mayor
Todd and James w Bucklin with
copies of the bill, and published the
text of the proposed act in the issue
of that day. This morning The SEN
tinel received from Mr.. Taylor n copy
of bill which he has introduced In
the lower house, which will provide
for the patenting of coal lands to any
city or town which may be authorized
by the secretary. This gives the
right to secure municipal coal lands
to any city or town which cares to
develop the property into a city-own-
ed mine.
This measure in full is as follows:
A Bill granting cities and incorpor-
ated towns coal lands for munich
pal purposes.
Be 1t enacted by the senate and
house of representatives of the
United States of America in con-
gress assembled, that the secretary
of the interior is hereby authorized
in his discretion, to patent lands of
the United States classified as coal
lands within any state or territory to
any city or Incorporated town there
in, duly authorized in this behalf as
a source of coal supply for the use
of such city or town and for the use
therein of the inhabitants and indus
tries thereof, the lands so patented
to be conveniently situated with ref
erence to such city or town. Every
such patent shall include not to ex-
ceed $40 acres for each city and 100
acres for eah town. 1t shall be ap-
propriately onditioned to provide for
prompt and continuous development
of the coal, the prevention of any
assignment or transfer of the land
the safeguarding of the health and
safety of laborers mining or hand
ling the coal, the prevention of undue
waste of mineral resources. and the
securing of full reports and publicity
as to the mining and disposal of
coal mined under the patent. includ-
ing costs of construction, of mainte-
nance. and of operation, use for
municipal purposes, sales and re-
cepits from sales, all in such manner
and form and at such times as the
secretary of the interior may by rules
and regulations prescribe: Provided,
that II any city or town to which
coal lands shall be patented under
this act shall at any time neglect or
fail to perform any of the conditions
of the patent. or any part thereof,
and shall continue such neglect or
failure after reasonable notice by the
secretary of the interior, such land
patented TO such city or town shall
revert. free and clear of all incum-
brances to the government of the
United States, and this provision
shall he enforced by any court of
competent jurisdiction in any suit
instituted by the attorney general for
that purpose.

Death of William Aitken.

William Aitken. one of the pioneers
of this county, died at his home at
Crozier last Monday night. The re-
mains were brought to Kingman the
following day and the funeral took
place from the NJ. E. Church WedneS-
day afternoon. Rev. w. q. Blakely
preached the funeral sermon and then
the cortege wendell its way to the little
cemetery in the west part of town,
where was laid to rest all that was
mortal of good man.
All the old friends and acquaintances
of the family attended the funeral,
many coming mere from Crozier and
blackberry.
William Aitken came to this county
in the early eighties and first made his
home in Kingman, later buying the
Stevens ranch at Crozier, where he
ranched for MANY years. He was a
native of Maine, but came to the west
when a young man. At the time of his
death he was aged about 90 years. He
leaves behind to mourn his loss a wife
and two children, boy and girl.

Needles VS.. Kingman.

Last Sunday the Needles baseball
team crossed bats with the Kingman
boys on local ground. The game was
a pitchers battle and the tide went in
favor of the visitors by a narrow
margin, the final score being & to 1.
A big crowd witnessed the game and
rooted for the home team, but without
avail. The home team is quite weak
in the batting ano along these lines
ought TO get more practice. With the
addition of few players the team
would be a hard one to down, but as
long as the weak fellows are kept on
the team it will lack the support OF
the people and its winnings will be
few. No matter how good a battery
NAV be it cannot keep the team in the
winning, especially when some OF the
most important places in the infeld
are weak. Six of the team may be
relied upon to play their positions at
all times. but the others either do not
know the game or are unable TO play
ball.

Gold Road Plays Kingm an.

Washington's Birthday brought out
a goodly crowd 10 see the ball game
between Goldroad and Kingman, al
though the wind was raw and cold.
The game was holly contested
throughout hut the Goldroad boys fell
down in the eight and Kingman scor-
ed five runs, which gave them the
winning run, the final score standing
nine to eight in favor of Kingman. a
wild throw was responsible for the
runs. there being two men out vile
the five runs were made and a dinky
little hit by Archibald was so clumsily
felded and the throw to first was so
high that Archibald went to third and
the Goldroad team went to pieces.
1t is to be hoped that both teams
will close up the weak places and come
together again in the near future.
