DEMOCRATS HEDGING

Norman f. Mack, former chairman
of the national democrat committee.
has caused no mild sensation in the
ranks of the democrat party by the
statement in his paper that his party
should take account OF the times and
give the manufacturers of the country
the benefit of tariff protection.
Mr. Mack but fore runs the certain
turn of events, according to the
opinion of prominent members of
congress, for the condition that con
fronts the u. S. treasury today is not
at all an easy one TO cope with The
democrat party, dominated 10y the
southern wing for the first time since
the ante bcllum days, found them
selves in position to put the southern
free trade policies into effect. Accord
inglv, a tariff just sufficient TO provide
the revenue needs of the country was
figured out and then an income tax
rider was added, the amount OF the
computed income revenue being
deducted from the revenue Of the
tariff law by further cuts in duties.
When il came to a practical demon
stration OF the law it was found that
both the income and the tariff reurns
had been over estimated. The income
tax returned hut little over half of
the estimated revenue and the slump
in business greatly depleted the income
from duties 80 that abont the first Vt
June deficit of 500, 600, 900 was
staring the democrat administration in
the face and they were squirming
around for an excuse TO levy direct
taxes when the European war came
on and immediately khey called il
"A war tax. But, they didn't get by
with il for the subterfuge is pretty
we'll understood.
The troubles are not over with yet.

receipts How the admin tration is
going to make up this deficit without
the imposition OF more direct tax or
the back tracking on the tariff pro-
gram cannot well hc figured out and
IL IS probable that Mr.. Mack has
deciphered the handwriting on the
wall and proposes TO make clean
breast OF the matter bv adopting a
partial protection policy.

Truck Causes Trouble

The Escanaba council members are
under fire of criticism because they
voted to purchase Kissel fire truck
The statement is made that the Escan-
aba truck cost s.. $50 while the same
make truck was sold TO the city OF
Oshkosh for SO, 800 and to the city OF
Madison for $500
The explanation given out is that
the statements are but half truths.
The city OF Oshkosh purchased a
chassis. only, the body being con
structed at Oshkosh. The Madison deal
came through fight in which the
agent named the "a, 800 price indepen
dent of the Kissel company, probably
throwing off his commission which
seems to be quite an item as the
president of the Kissel company has
issued statement in which he says
that the truck was sold Escanaba city
at the regular price
The trucks mentioned are without
the auxiliary pump which the Crystal
Falls truck has, so that reader, may
figure out the cost OF the pump added
to our truck. The pump is the most
necessary part Of the Local truck as the
pressure is not sufficient up on the hill.
In this connection IL might be
mentioned that a slight contention
occurred at the courcil meeting last
held when the question OF accepting
the truck came up. There were but
four aldermen present and Alderman
Shells stood ont against accepting the
truck at any but meeting where the
full board was present. He said
ia at the payment OF $40, 900 Is too big
an item not TO be shouldered by every
member and in this connection Mr..
Shells seems to have the endorsement
of the people.

FERRIS. APPOINTMENTS

We notice great deal in the papers
these days about Gov. Ferris going
to retain Banking Commissioner Doyle
and Game Warden Oats. Now, nothing
would please ms better than to see both
OF these gentlemen retained. ii not
both, one of them. but how we or any
other republican can consistently ask
Governor Ferris to retain republican
appointees in lucrative positions Is
more than we can understand. In
talking the matter over with very
prominent democrat recently he replied
to our inquiry as to the probability OF
Gov. Ferris retaining the men men.
toned, II think 1t would be very
unwise for him to do so.
That's what most, If not all, demo-
Gratis think. There are several appoint
ments where republicans must be
chosen so that the plums left in the
hands of the governor are mighty few
After waiting all Of these years, will
democrats relish the surrender of
Governor Ferris TO the republicans
No, the republicans would do just
what the democrats are doing The
fact that Gov. Ferris was~chosen by
republican votes has nothing to do
with the case for it was not that they
liked Ferris more but that they liked
the two defeated republicans less, that
they cast their votes for Ferris in
numbers sufficient to elect him twice

THAT FRUIT GROWING QUESTION

THAT FRUIT GROWING QU ESIlON
A few years ago when there was
lots of talk about the upper peninsula
Being a great fruit raising territory,
we criticised the enthusiastic utter
ances Of some of our leading agricul-
turaIists for advising such diversity OF
attempt in farming in this upper pen
insula until il had been thoroughly
demonstrated that different lines
were practical and profitable. II We
remember correctly we advised sticking
to hay until something else was shown
% be wilmer.
Our utterances brought out sharp
rejoinder from the then superintendent
Of the experiment farm at Chatham
in which we were accused Of practical
assininity in agricultural lines.
Well perhaps he was right, but we
notice that we are not alone Just now
in advising against sndiscriminate
fruit culture as may be seen by news
item in another column There is a
tendency on the part Of our agricul.
tural experts TO get too enthusiastic and
20 advocate too diversified program
or our farmers. II has been demon-
strated that this peninsula is great
hay growing section and unbeatable
in root crops. II our argiculturalists
will stick TO the known and encourage
TIE development Of all lines of farming
based upon hay and root crops until
they get those iues we'll established
and on a paying basis 1t will then be
plenty Of time TO work towards the
unknown in fruit and other lines.

SUFFERING.
Treatment BY Which the Affection May
BE Overcome.

Treatment ~ Which the Aitiiceion M&y
BE Overcome.
There is no cure for suffering. This
does not mean that no stntterer can be
cured-far from it-but that there is no
treatment which is sure to cure. If a
sufferer be taken in childhood, when
the affiiction is first noticed, and care
fully treated he can sometimes be cur.
ed and generally much improved.
DR.. Frank A. Bryant of New York,
writing in the Medical Record, says
the first thing to do is to make sure
that there are no Instructions in the
throat or nose, such as enlarged ton
sils or adenoids. The child must be
taught to breathe through his nose,
deeply and slowly. as habit. He must
not be allowed to speak when excited
nor when laughing or crying or in the
paroxysms of whooping cough. He
must never be tickled. All causes of
excitement must be removed. Fresh
air, scrupulous cleanliness, plain, nour-
ishing food, moderate exercise and
plenty of sleep in dark room are es-
sential.
Mental treatment is of great impor-
lance. Any measures that will increase
mental poise are Of Incompatible
value. The sufferer must be Impress
ed with desire to overcome what is
only bad habit. He must be per-
suaded to study the great art Of speak
ing correctly. Thus. by careful, pa
tent work on the part Of his parents,
teachers and physicians, will he gradu-
ally cure himself, or at least SO I'M
prove as to make the affiiction cease 70

He wrote to a jewelry house in New
York, where he had an established
credit, asking that silver cigarette
\case selling at $25 be sent to him on
approval. Upon its receipt he arranged
a lottery among his chums at the
school and offered for sale 100 chances
at % cents each. He sold all the
chances for total Of $25.
The boy who held the successful
number that won the silver case hap
pened to be one who did not use Gig

the affair offered to buy the case for

he thereby made profit Of $4.75 cash
instead Of having an article of no use
to him, whereas the promoter Of the
deal had $40 left.
The promoter now returned the Gig

that it be credited to his account. This
