Our Compel
itive'' Tariff

Either the free traders knew. or !
didn't know, what they were about
when they undertook to frame a
competitive" tariff. They proceed
ed on the assumption that more free
dom of competition was needed in
order to break down American prices
and profits; or. as they put 1t, to
prevent the extortions of trusts and
monopolis. Apparently there are
some mistake in their theories and
calculations. The Saturday Evening
Post, of Philadelphia says:
In the first eight months of the
new tariff act. imports of completed
manufactures increased by $4,000
900, or less than 8 per cent. This
is at the rate of 100000 month
and certainly amounts to small
fraction of l per cent of our total
COHSuihptiOu VI ihahuiaStuiSs.
This is confessedly competitive
tariff. The purpose Of its trainers
was to reduce duties so that, when
ever American prices were unreason-
ably high, foreign manufacturers
would have fair chance to come in
and compete for the American mar
ket. There is no longer a Chinese
wall in their way-at most there is
only we'll trimmed hedge, which any
agile foreigner could hop over IL our
prices were far out of line with those
abroad.
The party which framed this com
petitive tariff processes to believe
that we are pillaged by extortionate
trusts. Either the tariff is wrone
of the theory OF universal and out
rageous trust exploitation is wrong
The small increase in imports o.
manufactured articles tends power
fully to contradict the notion tina
predatory combinations were maxim!

Germans Have

Washington, Sept. 2-The German

German administration in Brussels

The French official communique
that the Russians have completely in

Churchiil's Declaration
Lord Churchills declaration that a
victorious Germany would seek ex-
pansion In South America appears to
be the climax of ridiculous calumny
and of an INSCRIPTIONS attempt to III

North and South America against the
German people while the German
press here on the contrary, heartily
welcome the progress and prosperity
of free American nations.
German soldiers returning from

Will Urge Emergency Legislation in Or
der to Meet Deficit in Revenues

washington, Sept. 2.--President
Wilson will begin tomorrow the pre-
paration Of message which he plans
to read to Congress Friday urging the
necessity of emergency revenue leg
islation to Offset curtailment in GUS
toms receipts since the beginning OF
the European war.
About s1oO, 900, 900 must be pro-
yiaed. 1t is understood the President
will make 1t clear that sufficient rev.
enues for all purposes are assured,
but that the millions Of emergency
revenue must be raised to prevent a
deficit.
Administration leaders in Congress
already have been studying available
sources Of special revenue and have
been in frequent conference with Sec
rotary McAdoo Of the treasury de-
partment. Senator Simmons, chair
man Of the finance committee. has CO.
operated with Representative Under
wood, chairman of the ways and
means committee. in the preliminary
deliberations and both were convinc-
ed several weeks ago that war rev.
enue would be necessary, probably to
the extent OF 100000. 900. 1t was
agreed that the ways and means CON-
mittee should work out bill which
will be reported early next week.
Mr.. Underwood has asked the
President to indicate what course he
proposed to recommend in raising
the needed revenues, but up to to.
night the President had not done so.
Suggestions have been made that
beer, whisky, domestic wines. tobac-
CO, railroad and theatre tickets, gas
oline, patent medicines, soft drinks
and other similar commodities be
taxed. No agreement has, been
reached, however, by the ways and
means committee majority.
There is said to be a war revenue
plan which rests undisclosed in Ma
jority Leader Underwood's mind. His
purpose is not to call the committee
together until the Presidents mes
sage has been received. He has with
held his plan to avoid unnecessary

HOW TO JUDGE
A MAN YOU ARE DOING
BUSINESS WITH

In the September American Maya
zine Edna Ferber writes another
story in her new series Of advertis-
ing yarns in which Emma and Jock
McChesney are the principal charac-
tiers. In the course Of the story Jock
McChesney, who is a young advertis-
ing man, tells as follows what he
has learned about judging men with
whom he does business:
I've learned to watch q mans eyes
when I'm talking business to him.
If the pupils Of his eyes dilate he's
listening to you, and thinking about
what you're saying. When they con-
tract It means that he's only taking
interest, even though he's looking
straight at you and wearing rapt
expression. His thoughts are miles
away.
I've learned that one negative ar
gument is worth six positive ones;
that it never pays to knock your com
petitor; that It's wise to fight shy

I've learned not to lose my TEN,

hot, impassioned business appeal and

the boss: Mrs. Jones is waiting.
She says you were going to help her
pick out wall paper this morning."
and Jones says, Tell her I'll be there
in FIVE minltes."
And I've learned to let the other
fellow think your argumen, Is his
own. He likes It. I've learned to

unreasonable prices the rule in Am
erica.
AS matter OF. fact there was no
such thing as trust extortion or I'm
fair monopoly prices apd profits. The
free traders, In making their com
petitive tariff. were legislating to
correct q condition that did not ex-
list. In no country in the world was
industrial competition keener or prof.
1t margins c!>ser than in the United
States. What the free traders actu.
ally did was to fix 1t SO that even
those small profit margins could be
wiped out and the business turned
over to foreigners.
1t has proved to be a competitive
tariff, all right. Foreigners are able
to get better prices and make more
profits than they could under a pro
tective tariff, and at the same time
undersell their American competitors
in the American. market. No matter
whether competitive imports increas
ed per cent, or 80 per cent to the
extent that they did increase they
displaced much more than their du
table value of equivalent goods that
would otherwise have been produced
here. They robbed American labor
and industry.

MESSAGE TO CONGRESS FRIDAY

used in the manufacture of crucibles
and other refractory products. but
as these uses probably consume over
half of the graphite used in this
country, such dependence is matter
of no small Importance. Moreover.
the manufacture of crucible steel re-
quires graphite crucibles. The gra-
phite used in crucible making has
been brought largely from the Brit,
ish island of Ceylon, although with.
in the last few years some has been
brought from the French Island of
Madagascar. This graphite is flaky
or fibrous and for this reason is EN-.
inently adapted to -crucible making.
For this use 1t has never met with
serious competition from domestic
graphite. The earthly amorphous
graphite mined in this country and
the graphite manufactured at Niagara
Falls are not adapted to this use and
as a rule the expenses Of concentrat-
ing domestic flake graphite has been
prohibitive. Nevertheless 1t is to the
domestic supplies of fake graphite
that this country must look in the
event of foreign supplies being CIT
off. Practically inexhaustible sup.
plies Of this material are known to
occur in New York, New Jersey.
Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Ala
bama, Texas, and some other States
and are fully described in the reports
of the United States Geological Sur
vey. Similar deposits are abundant
in Canada. The graphite in these
deposits occurs as small flakes in
rocks composed mainly Of quartz.
feldspar, and mica, the graphite con-
stituting to 10 per cent by weight.
Several plants are now engaged In
working such deposits, and many
others now idle could be put on
producing basis in a short time and
at little expense. Although the pro
duct might not be equal to the Cey-
lon graphite in all respects for cru
chile making, there is no question
that It would be adequate for similar
graphite has for years been success
fully used in Germany.
Another American resource is the
graphite deposit near Dillon, Mon
tana. The graphite there is very
similar to that from Ceylon and
should be adaptable for crucible max.
ing. Although the deposit does not
compare in size with the Ceyion de-
posts, 1t might render material aid

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES

| Who are to be prize-winners this
year? 1t is much too early to make
prediction, but we are beginning to
make guesses. And just to see if we
are all GUESSING alike, we are giving
you the benefit of our guess. The
names appearing below are certainly
of those who are clearly in the race,
but none of these are at all sure. Some
pupil not named may, during the sec
ond half of the year, forge to the
front and snatch the coveted badge of
honor.
The Faulkner County Bank offers
gold medal to the boy in the high
school who stands highest in work,
attendance, department, ETC., in a
word, to the boy who comes nearest
the ideal student. The Bank of Con-
way offers a similar medal to the high
school girl who stands highest in ev-
erything. The Farmers State Bank
offers an elegant gold medal to the
best arithmetic student in the first
eight grades. D. o. Harton offers a
medal to the best student of mathe-
MATES in the high school. There are
more than a dozen other contests on,
but we are reporting on these four
only. Following are the lists of those
who, during the first half of the year,
sem to have the lead. They are
given without reference to rank.
The D. O. Harton Medal.-Eighth
grade, Edith Mosley, Forney Thomp-
son, Mary Fenton Higgins, Leola Fid-
der, Carey Batson, Vida Adams
ninth grade, Irma Gray, Earle Mel
ton, John Harton, Hattie Vaughn

the streets and dragging it to the
center of the street. Vehicular traf-
fc naturally begins to avoid the GEN.
ter of the street, which, filled with
clods, loose dirt and grass roots, is
about as difficult to traverse as a
freshly plowed field. All through the
summer months all traffic will GO
along two narrow paths on either
side of the street, which have been
scraped and left hard by the street
graders. The crown of the street will
be left undisturbed, to grow up in
weeds and grass and to absorb every
drop of water which falls upon it.
The result is that the water absorbed
by the crown of the street drains out
into the sides, and when the heavy
winter rains set in the entire street
is softened and soon becomes a mass
of sticky mud, through which the traf-
fic must wade and pick it's way as best
it can. Then the next spring the same
process is repeated. Four or five
thousand dollars is spent each year in
vain attempt to improve the streets
and every succeeding year increased
traffic makes them more nearly impas-
sable.
Shall we continue this absolute
waste of the city's money in an in
effectual effort to better the condition
of the streets, or shall we use this
1000 or $4,000 annually in the con-
struction of permanent macadam
This amount of money would
pay all Of the interest and consid-
cradle portion of the principal on a
10 or Is year bond issue sufficient to
all the principally trav-
eled residence streets in the city, es-
pecially those leading out to the main
county roads. The remaining cost
could be paid by the property owners
in small annual installments.
What are we going to do about it?

ROTATION IN OFFICE.

In an announcement in a Little
Rock paper, Prof. d. t. Rogers OF
Jonesboro, candidate for superintend.
ent of public instruction, calls atten-
ton to the fact that his opponent
Prof. George B. Cook, is now serving
a third term and is seeking fourth
"This alone" Prof Rogers states, 81
confidently believe, will assure my
nomination, for the Democracy of Ar
kansas has repeatedly declared in IA
vor of two terms and rotation in of
fee"
But in the very next sentence Prof.
Rogers states that he served as super
intendent of schools at Jonesboro
continuously for 20 years and was re-
elected to another term" Further
along in the same announcement he
states that he has served several years
as county examiner of his county.
1t strikes us that after having
served 20 years continuously in one
public position, Prof. Rogers is not
in a favorable attitude to urge "rota-
ton in office" There is no more reason
for rotating a state superintendent of
public schools than there is for rota-
ting a city superintendent of public
schools. Prof. Rogers was doubtless
retained by the Jonesboro school dis
trict for 20 years for the same reason
that Prof. Cook has been retained by
the state for six years. The natural
inference is that each has been the
right man in the right place.
