the Wilson administration. an indict-

Of the principles of the Progressive

The administration tariff laws
Colonel Roosevelt hailed as colossal
failure, particularly hard upon the
farmer; its antitrust programme he
branded as an economic absurdity.
Its foreign policy he styled as
'wretched," but upon this he did not
elaborate The Democratic tariff, he
insisted, had brought distress upon
the nation, had not lowered the cost
Of living and had chiefly benefited
foreign rivals of American business.
The solution rested, he argued, in
support of the Progressive movement,
and the enactment of laws providing
for tariff revision by a non-partisan

MERELY COMMENT

Among hazardous pursuits is the
king business.
Assassination appears now to be
an occupationaI disease.
Even in this republic where titles
don't go, the money kings have to
live under guard.
There's John D., for example.
The time is coming when kings will
be out of fashion-and will live
longer.
Back of the fight for Mex. land ap-
pears to be fight between Standard
Oil and one of its rivals for control of
Mex. railroads.
As exploitation of U. S. railroads is
playing out as business, exploiters
are seeking fresh fields and pastures
new. 49,
Even some labor business agents
who have tried the car game are
finding existence has its drawbacks.
But the puzzle is still unsoIVed-
how can some men get rich on $50 or
$40 a week? 49,.
Now is the time for labor to get
busy and do its own housekeeping.
Scientists are about to proVe-to
their own satisfaction at least-that
when Eve ate the apple she didn't do
no such thing.
Next they'll be telling us the old
girl didn't even wear a fig leaf.
And just at time when fashions
seem to be working back to the orig
inal garment, too.
Those scientists are a messy
bunch.
If MAZE Funkhouser gets that $780,

it
What's he going to do with it when
he gets it?
