What Have
You Dove :?

You are going to do great things, you
say
But what have you done?
You are going TO win in a splendid way,
AS other have won;
You have plans that when they are put
In force
VIII make you sublime;
You have mapped out a glorious upward
course
But why don't you climb?
You're not quite ready to start, you say;
If you hope to win
The time to be starting is now-today-
Don't daily, begin!
No man has ever been ready as yet,
Nor ever will be;
You may fall ere you reach where your
hopes are set
But try it and see.
You are going to do great things, you
say,
You have splendid plans;
Your dreams are Of heights that are far
away;
They're hopeful mans
But the world, when 1t judges the case
for you,
At the end, my son,
Will think not of what you were going
to do,
But of what you've done.

Capital Comment
BY CLYDE q. TAVENNER
Congressman from the Fourteenth District.

''But a close study of this bill VIII
convince any unbiased mind that N
the main the general plan and purpose
of those who framed the bill was TO
lower the high and often prohibitory
tariff rates of the Payne-Aldrich law
to such a level as to insure enough
foreign competition to prevent the
combinations formed behind the tarln
wall from continuing to exact monop-
oily prices from the consumer. Ana
on the other hand the conclusion Will
be reached that it was not their pur-
pose to admit enough foreign competl-
ton to injure American manufacturers
who are dealing fairly with the Amer
lean people.
mo tariff measure, with its thou
sands of rates, can attain to perfec'
tion," is LaFollette's conclusion. Ine
question presented at this time is a
choice between this bill, with its gen
eral level of. duties on manufactured
products reasonably just to home In
| dustries, excepting as l have 1ndi
Gated, and the Ubiquitous rates imposed
upon the American people by the
Payne-Aldrich law.
"On this issue, which involves the
general welfare of the millions II
every walk of life, partisan politics
should have no place. The contest is
really between the people and en-
trenched privilege. 1t is an unequal
struggle, and calls for the highest
service which men now in public life
can render to their country.
1.-The trusts and combinations II
their relentless oppression of the
public have been materially aided by
the monstrous tariff law enacted foul
years ago. Their power will not bt
broken when that law is supplanted b!
the present bill. But its passage i:
significant. 1t marks a change. l
is the winning of the first battle il
the long war which must be waget
against industrial monopoly. Thi
warfare is not against legitimate bus
mess. 1t is against the tyranny of I'm
lawful combinations, over-protected
over-stimulated, over-capitalized."

ENFORCING THE AUTOMOBILE
LAWS,

The Springfield Register commends
Governor +. F. Dunno and Secretary
of State Harry Woods for their co
operative effort to have no Partially
shown Automobiles.
To demand that a majority of own
ers Of cars pay a license fee and dis
play license numbers while others are
not compelled to comply with the Law
is very wrong. Of course.
1t appears that this has been dcne
In justice to the vast number of own
ers Of cars who comply with the law
all should be treated with equal fair
ness and none should be permitted L
side-step the law.
The Dunne-Woods plan Of a square
deal for all and special privileges foi

state treasurer and state superinten-
dent of public instruction, rs state SEN
ators, 153 members of the Illinois
house of representatives and numer-
Gus local officials are to be elected.
While the people Of the state have
given little or no thought to this cleo
ton, it is time they were beginning to
give it. the consideration it deserves.
The voters of all parties should
learn to be as wise as the party
managers" and begin early TO con
slider not only the issues involved but
the men who desire to represent
them in the various positions Of
trust and responsibility.
The voters cannot begin too soon
to consider the claims of candidates
for nomination. Their ability, their
devotion to democratic progressive
principles, their disinterested desire
for democratic success instead Of a
mere seeking for personal profit or
ACKNOWLEDGMENT should commend can
didates to the support of the voters.
The democrats of Illinois won a
grand victory last year. It will
not be difficult to differentiate
between a machine henchman or a
self-seeker, and a sincere patriotic
promoter of democratic principles if
the voter carefully scrutinizes the
character and record of the candi-
dates for nomination.
All the democrats of the state have
to do to gain another victory is to get
together for good men actuated by the
love Of democratic principles.
