Now, Mr.. Guess Why" want to
say that no member of the county
school board can go to our Hon. Coun-
ty Judge and draw his pay for more
than 30 days in any one year. and be-
fore the judge issues you an order to
the trustee to pay yon what you are
asking for you have to make out an
account against the county for so
many days actual service at whatever
the county court allows per day, hold
up your right hand and swear that
the account is true and correct to the
best of your knowledge and belief, $50

say right here that last year I put in
AZ full days of actual service and got

months to serve, aud lots of work TO

REPLY TO RANKIN.

Editor News:
wish to say few words to the
readers of the News As said a few
weeks age, | had been belfast for
weeks, but | am only able now to be
out in the yard aud about the house.
| asked Rankin not to take advantage
of sick man who had never did
him any harm at any time or place. II
is now a matter of fact that he is an
agitator and man void of respect for
his fellow citizens. The public knows
j. w. Morrison and has known him
for thirty five years in public life and
the people know me to be man who
never acted the part of hypocrit. I
am just plain Jim, always. / have
never tried tosmake the people think
l was saint and never would at
tempt such q thing. | raised myself
in the county of Marion and my life
from my childhood up is an open book
for the people who have seen my every
ahy WdAhS w NO bCCi anu ICnu VI
est men and not by men who would
not give justice to whom justice be-
longs. I ask nothing at the hands of
the brutes that we read in the Bible
where it says: "There are some that
are still brutes.
Now, for the benefit Of the public I
will say that ignore Hugh Rankin
in every way. / leave my record to
be judged by the honest people Of Ma
rion county, and not by fool or ~
ing agitator who has no respect for
the truth. | wish to say further, that
/ am not running for Office aud never
intend to, but if I should l would not
ask half breed to support me. /
want man to be all the way on one
side or the other. But this poor boy
who is fighting and doesn't know what
he is fighting for is. as near as | can
think, like the mule that was kicking.
That's Rankin. When the August
election is over he will find out what
one he was kicking at, hope, but
convince fool against his will, he's
of the same opinion STILL, /" SO | hope
he will consider this one thing that he
his writing about me is all void of
truth and is only making good people
stand up and take notice. If Hugh
Rankin had his way, it would take
to make race for any kind
Of an Office. Yes pay all that come
out to vote and then he that comes not
hunt him up and pay him some for
next primary. See This is an insult
to the voters and at the same time an
outrage on the poor candidates. If
this was followed up and the candid
ates have to pay $1,000 to $1400 for
for taxes, o tell me who would be
sble to stand for election. / am talk
ing to the people, not Rankin, for
will not condescend to answer him
with his fimsv, dirty, filthy, uncalled

should always look to the future and
not to the past for we all have our
lark places in our life until we begin

Germany's Defeat at Liege.

The German request for an armistice
at Liege for the purpose of buryins
the dead and caring for the wounded
Is not precisely tantamount to an
acknowledgement of defeat, but it will,
nevertheless, be so regarded generally
until perhaps subsequent events have
obscured the significance of the first
great battle of the war. Reports as
To the numbers of Germans engaged
against the Belgians have ranged from
Su.0nc to 125,0O. In either case the
German loss amounts to far more than
defamation. If $1,000 have been killed
and wounded on the German side at
Liege the casualties amount to ~ per
cent of an army of 10000 and 20 per
cent of an army of 125.O0o. But what
ever the losses, the fact remains that
the German effort to cross Belgium
has been checked, and by consid-
erably inferior force Perhaps, how
ever. the most significant fact of this
engagement is that the Germans are
persisting in their old style close
formation and frontal attacks with
frightful losses directly resulting 1t
NAV be that the stubbornness of the
resistance of the Belgian opposition
was underestimated and that parade
methods were believed to be sufficient
necessary to indicate whether the Ger
man commanders have learned the
obvious lesson taught at Liege.

The War and the Tariff.

Our imports from Europe are neces-
sarily slumpng. and soon may slump
even more heavily. 1t is not beyond
calculation that they may cease for a
time entirely. Not alone is oversee
shipping halted. but foreign production
is curtailed. Europe is, thinking of
feeding and clothing her people. and
not of exporting. The revival of her
foreign trade must wait. Everything
with her has been thrown out of
plumb by the sudden commissions of
war.
This situation will tell on our reve-
nue. problem. the more grayely as the
war continues. We have been collect
ing largely from imports: and with this
source diminished or dried up. we shall
lie obliged to find elsewhere the money
for paying Uncle Sam's bills.
The problem will be worked out. 1t
will be everybody's duty to help. Dem
ocrats. republicans, bull moosers, all
must confer and bear a hand. In a
pinch all will do so. The paramount
American consideration at present is
keeping our own affairs steady while
affairs abroad are in dire disorder
Later, will come the necessity for a
new tariff law. The Underwood law
was cast for conditions that no longer
exist and will not return The world
was then at peace. The great bulk Of

with the duty, will give the country
something new to think about on the
whole tariff subject. Since the cam
paign of 1912 some very ingenious
theories supported by many solemn
assertions about the tariff have gone
by the board. Men who for years have
posed as tariff authorities are not i'm
pressive now in that attitude.
Particularly unimpressive is the man
who attributed the high cost of living
TO the policy of protection, and prom
lsed relief in a revision of the pro-
tective tariff law then on the books.
Revision has come, but minus the
promised relief. The cost of living is
higher under the new than it was un-
der the old law. The Underwood law
is no more the cause of the recent rise
In such prices than the Payne law was
responsible for the prices of that day.
Men of both schools of tariff thought
find there is a problem on hand which
is as puzzling as difficult; and they
must address themselves to the solu-
tion free from some of the ideas upon
which in recent years they have been
rearing many tall arguments.
That the next tariff law will collect
heavily from imports is a certainty;
and equally certain is it that the
schedules and rates will have to be
adjusted to conditions that have never
existed before since this government
was founded.

italy and the Alliance.

The position Of Italy in the present
European war continues a matter of
problematical result of many forces
now in action. Though member Of the
triple alliance and supposedly obligated
to enter war in behalf of Germany
and Austria Italy now refuses to join
forces with the Teutonic nations hrst
on the ground that they are ag8ressors
and not defenders in this conflict, but
more specifically on the plea that AUS
tria did not consult with Italy before
making peremptery demands upon Ser
via and thus prectpitating the interna-
tional conflict. This. contends the gov
ernment at Rome. is in violation of the
conditions of the triple alliance and
Italy therefore regards herself as free
of obligation.
Without detracting from the sincerity
of the Italian reasons against partici-
patton 1t may be pointed out that as q
matter of fact the government at Rome
has no desire to join her Teutonic al
lies of record Austria and Germany,
because of pronounced hostility to both
of those countries on the part of the
Italian people. At the same time, de-
spite pronounced fondnesS for the
English, there has recently arisen in Italy
for the attitude of that country toward
the Italian enterprise in the Tripolitan
war. But apparently all that is forgot
ten now, for reports come from Italy
telling of the arousal of a high state of
enthusiasm for France, with people
gathering before the French embassy in
Rome and the French consulates in
other cities and cheering for their Latin
brothers, even singing the Marseil-
laise.
In these circumstances it would be
futile for Italy even to consider any
undertaking in behalf of the triple al
lance, and it seems almost suicidal for
the kaiser to press the Rome govern
ment for participation in terms of
threat Of war. 1t is now to his interest
TO keep Italy In a state of neutrality ii
possible rather than to apply pressure
which can have only the effect of driving
her into active hostility. Italy, at war
with the Teutonic powers, would render
the position of Austria in the Mediter-
ranean practically negative, and would
furthermore be seriously aggressive
factor on land in preventing violations of
Switzerland and relieving France of the
necessity of watching her southeastern
border.
Late reports tell of the dangling of a
tempting bait before Italy, the kaiser
having indicated, 1t is stated, that If she
will join the triple alliance she can
have as her part of the spoils Belgian
kongo and French Algeria. Apparently
this aliurement is having no effect at
Rome, while it discloses to the world
the kaisers program of subdivision in
case of the triumph of the German
arms.
