A PitfaII for Campaigners.

Bryan's Commoner: During the
congressional campaign, this fall, the
republicans will be angling for the
farmer vote by telling him how fear
full will be the effect upon the prices
the farmer obtains for his products,
of the new democratic tariff law,
Mind, the new law has been in effect
for over a year and prices have not
been damagingly affected; but the
republican s~pell-binders are very
sure they will be. If n of this kind
of speeches is made in your neighbor-
hood call the attention Of the speak
er to the fact that on the first day OF
May, 1909, three months before the
Payne- Aldrich tariff law was passed,
hogs brought on the great western
market at South Omaha $6.9S a hum
dred pounds. Also remind him that
exactly a year later and nine months
after the law had gone into effect,
hogs on the same market brought
S9.14. Ask him if, in his opinion, the
enactment of the tariff law by the
republicans had anything to do with
this IS per cent. increase in prices.
If he replies that it did, then ask
him why, upon May l, 1911, exactly
a year later than the 1914 quotation,
hogs we're quoted on that same
market at 1851? You might add a
little more to his mental confusion by
asking him to kindly explain why,
after the democrats had passed a
tariff law in 1912, in which the live
stock schedule had been materially
lowered, hogs rose on the South Omaha
market from $7.51 on May 1, 1912, tc
$8.1715 a hundred?
These are official figures, and car
be relied upon. The explanation, Of
course, is that the law of supply ano
demand was a dominant factor. The
number of hogs kept out by the re-
publican tariff barrier and the number
let in by the removal by the demo
Gratis of that barrier was too smalf~lr
comparison with the total marketed
to cut even an appreciable effect.

Is This Free America?
From st. Louis Post-D Dispatch. }

From st. Louis Post-Dispatch')
In a letter to the Evangelical ALI
ance the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union asks an investigation of a
charge that H. II. Simmons, local Boy
Scout Commissioner, criticised the
anti liquor order of Secretary Daniels
and expressed opinions in opposition
to methods of temperance promotion
supported by the w. @. 7. U. and
some of the ministers of the alliance.
If the charges prove true The w. Q. L.
U. requests the alliance to demand
Mr.. Simmons dismissal from his posi-
ton.
The ground of the demand for Mr..
Simmons discharge is solely his al
legged opinion of the methods and
opinions of certain advocates of total
abstinence and prohibition. There is
no charge that he himself is in
temperate, or that he favors in
temperance, or that in his own con
duct or qualifications he is unfit for
the position Of Scout Commissioner
1t is a question of opinion.
This is intolerance run riot. 1t il
an echo from the tomb of medieval
ism when church and state assumed
the power and authority to contro,
individual opinion and to enforce sup
preston of speech contrary to the
established religious and politica
creed and code. 1t is the sort o.
thing that Americans struggled anc
fought to get rid Of.
If American citizens r to be in.
vestigated, ostracized, denied business
and professional opportunity and the
means of existence, because they holc
and express opinions contrary tC
those held and advocated by persons
who assume authority to establish
codes and crseds and standards o.
conduct and speech, American liberty
is a mockery; the principles OK free
democracy upon which this republic
is founded are nouted.
The Evangelical Alliance derneani
itself and violates its own fundament
al principles when it approves or ever
considers q demand for the perse'
cution and punishment Of a man Of
account Of his opinions. 1t the loca
Scout Council should act upon such
demand it would BE- unworthy Of it
trust and responsibilities. Mr.. Sim
mons discharge on the accusation
brought BY the w. q. 4. y. would b.
the worst possible example for Amer
can boys. It would give them
wrong idea Of Americanism--a lessor
In the utter ~debasement OF its ideals.
