Reports indicate that potatoes
are another food product which for
eign countries will grow for Ameri-
cans under the Democratic tariff
law. We have been growing almost
all the potatoes we have needed.
For instance, in the last two months
Of 1912, under a Republican tariff,
only 41,000 bushels of potatoes
were imported into the United States.
In the last two months of last year,
under a Democratic tariff, nearly
100000 bushels of potatoes were
brought into this country. This
means that more than million
dollars which had been going into
the pockets of American potato
rafsers were sent to foreign potato
growers. 1t is reported that the
foreign acreage Of potatoes is to be
doubled and hereafter increased
year by year. The southern rice
growers have Jared better at the
hands of the Democratic tariff max
ers. The Wilson tariff imposes a
duty of almost sixty cents bushel
ON rice.

Someone has advanced the opin-
ion that the letter "e" is the most
unfortunate letter in the English
alphabet, because 1t is always out
of cash, forever In debt, never out
of danger and in hell all the time,
says a Kansas paper For some rea-
son, he overlooked the fOrtunates OF
the letter, as we call his attention
to the fact "e" is never in war and
always in peace. 1t is the beginning
of existence, the commencement OF
east and the end of trouble. without
1t there would be no meat, no life
and no heaven. 1t is the center OF
honesty, makes love perfect and
without it there could be no editors,
devils nor news.

rs THIS HONEST POLITICS?

Two years ago Mr.. Trott ran for
the state senate on the Republican
ticket, standing for the same things
then that he stands for now. He
was elected by a fine majority. car
rying every county in the district
II memory serves us right. He went
to Topeka and worked with the
Republican side of the senate, vot-
ing for some of the things that he
now seeks to condemn. IT Is only
plausible to suppose that after Mr..
Trott is defeated for congress that
he will go back to the state senate
to serve out the remainder of his
term. And 1t is also plausible to
suppose that he will again act as a
Republican. We would hate to
think that MIR. Trott is the kind OF
a man who would run for office ON
one ticket and then after getting
the office, switch politics. -Manhat-
tan Mercury.

The business men of the country
agree with President Wilson when
he says there is a business depres-
sion but they do not know whether
he is right or not when he says It
is merely Psychological" They
think possibly 1t is, although some
of them are Of the opinion that 1t
is chronological, others that 1t may
be geological But just the same 1t
is here, and President Wilson can
get up no controversy over the fact.

Emporia Gazette; An unknown
standpatter came within scratch
of beating Senator Cummins yes
terday at the Iowa Republican pri-
maries. Think what Curtis will do
to Bristow! In this connection the
lola Register, commenting on the
fact that a Democratic congressman
from Colorado is cOming to Kansas
to make speeches for Bristow, de-
clares that this said Democratic
congressman twill not help BristoW
any to speak Of" How true! The
only thing that will help Bristow
"any TO speak Of is a nice turnout
with lots Of flowers and hacks or
perhaps some well-chosen language
in the resolutions of respect and
condolencel When a man who claims
to believe with Roosevelt leaves the
party which he has Joined, and
which believes as he believes, and
goes into the party that believes as
Taft and Penrose believe, nothing
Is going to help him ANY to speak
of excepting 9 storied urn or AMI
mated bust. And Joe sure is going
on one animated bust all rightie!

An ode to Andrew Carnegie has

An ode to Andrew Carnegie has
been composed by the musical d.
rector of the Carnegie Dumferline
Trust, paraphrasing q portion OF
the book Of Ecclesiasticus which be-
gins: LET US now praise famous
men =" The Lord hath wrought
great glory by them" etc. The ode
will be sung at the unwilling Of a
statue to the great man at Dumfer-
line, June 81. Undoubtedly, when
the Lord created Enoch, Noah, Abra-
ham, Isaac and Jacob, He was only
as a preparation for Civ
ing US Andrew Carnegie.

Gov. Stubs has a vigorous arti-
Gle in the Saturday Evening Post
advocating government ownership
of railroads-but he neglects to state
that freight rates are lower and all
service better in this country than
in any country on earth where the
government owns the roads. He
ought to show the real comparison
In service and rates-which Is what
interests the American public.

BEAT RICE
The Low-Priced Standard
Separator

Should the Beatrice bowl finally
wear out in years to come. or should
any accident befall 1t, all you have
to do is to send US your old bowl
and we send you another bowl and
the total cost to you will be only
$3.50. That's all there is to It and
there are no strings Of any kind tied
to this proposition.
Another important matter: Some
separators need a lot Of repairs and
some separator companies stick you
ON the price of repairs. When you
go to your dealer and carefully ex-
anime q Beatrice you will see that
you will never need to buy many
repairs for 1t and Beatrice repairs
are so per cent lower in price than
is asked for corresponding parts by
other separator companies.
