MONROE
An alarm was given over the telephone last
Saturday morning for fire at the dwelling
house of Mrs. Annie Ryder, situated but few
feet from the town hall The Ryder house was
burned to the ground and but little was saved
from it. The fire started around the l. chlm-
ney. Much sympathy is expressed Tor MIS-
Ryder, who is hardworking woman. Inc
absence of wind and the prompt arrival OF
help saved the town hall. Monroe has no
water system, and boys carried pail after pail
of water from the stream and thus averted a
more serious loss "A heavy snow storm
visited this section April 10th and runners
were used all day and much teaming was done.

A CHANGE BADLY NEEDED.

The editor of one OF our most worthy
state exchanges says he has fought
the primary law for years." but found
that he was 'cultivating a barren
field" Now that the press of the
state is aroused over the matter and
wants the present burdensome law re-
pealed, or radically changed, he finds
the remedy suggested ""is as bad as
the disease, wherever a remedy has
been proposed"
The Globe has been waiting patiently
and expectantly to hear some well
posted editor like the brother, present
some clear. clean-cut plan that could
be formulated into law In place of the
present incubus which has fastened up
on us. In the meantime II has rec
commended that we return to the old
way until this new and safe way
which some think can be easily de-
vised, has been brought forth. Unless
they have a perfect new system for
INFLATED this certainly ought to appeal
to all such as fought the change from
the old convention system to the new
and untried primary, for II they had
not believed the old way better than
the new they would not have opposed
the new. However, II the brother re-
ferred to, or anyone else, has what Is
considered an unfailing remedy for our
present election ills, we would be pleas
ed to consider 1t with fairness and rev.
erence in all its phases, and present
II to our readers for digestion. The
Globe is one of those who believed the
primary would be a great improvement
over the nominating convention. but is
ready to state now that 1t, togtheer
with a large majority of the people of
the state, was badly off in Judgment.
The expense Is too great In the first
place. the campaign Is too long and
strenuous: the voters refuse to take
interest in nominating good men; in
stead of 1t being an advantage to the
poor man, 1t makes 1t next to impossi-
BILE to nominate a poor man over a man

part of the average citizen is practi-
cally killed; the men who have always
taken interest in convention work and
In helping to nominate candidates I'M
der the old system, are about the
only ones who take interest in and
help inject life into the primary; In
addition to the double expense of hold
ing two elections, and the double ex-
pense on the candidates, the few In
| terested. public spirited citizens have a
heavy expense in hiring men and con-
veyances to get out the few voters who
do come. If the people really wanted the
primary they would utilize 1t now that

WHAT THE ELECTION THIS
YEAR MEANS,

Seriously speaking, most important
election will be held in another month
The people are called upon to give a
full expression of their ideas, whether
the policies of the democratic party as
expressed through their congress and
president in Washington, shall or shall
not receive a vote of confidence. We
are told how brilliant and learned sa-
gacious, honest and patriotic President
Wilson has proven himself to be.
We have had a good many brilliant
and patriotic presidents; we believe
that with one exception they have all
been honest, but presidents are after
all. human beings; the exalting of a
particular one to the high office has,
up to date In more than half the cases
been the result of an accident or a
combination of accidents and in most
cases 1t Is not the man that is at is
sue but rather the national principles
that he stands for. the policies that
he will pursue.
The present president and present
majority in congress were elected on a
promise that while they would, If given
power, revise the tariff, but would not
cripple or hamper any legitimate in
dustry.
gress never rested until 1t so COM
pletely destroyed the tariff. that the
chief adviser of the president in con-
gress declared that mo such Industrial
freedom had been given us since the
passage of the Walker tariff some
four score years ago. Now the Walker
tariff just about made bankrupt the
republic.
While the debate on the sugar sched-
ule was going on In the present con-
gress and a representative from Mis-
sissippi pointed out that 1t would kill
the sugar interest in Mississippi and
Louisiana, Mr.. Underwood declared that
he expected 1t would. And what was
the object of this legislation? That
unrefined sugar from Cuba might be
obtained by American refineries cheap
er. The. great sugar refineries have
seemed to be pet concernment to the
democratic party ever since the passage
OF the Wilson tariff bin through the
house twenty years ago.
The Grangeville globe. [volume] (Grangeville, Idaho) 1907-1922, 1914-10-08

And who are the beneficiaries of this
legislation except the refiner? No one
in America, while the effect of the bill
Is to kill an industry in the south
which has given many thousands Of
Americans a livelihood and to transfer
great many millions of dollars which
they formerly received to the pockets
of men who employ naked wretches to
not feed an American.
We refer above only to cane sugar.
We all know that the success of beet
sugar making, and the great industry
that II was beginning to be was due
entirely to the tariff. That is without
the tariff 1t never would have been
'reated.
The truth is the free trade sentiment
In the United States grew out OF the
monopoly. which after whitney's inven-
ton OF the cotton gin, of cotton rails

southerners. Washington. Jefferson.
Madison and the others favored a pro-
tective tariff.
I with the extensive raising of cotton,
there came a belief that cotton was
king and with 1t likewise came con-
tempt for honest labor on the part OF
the cotton lords, and a determination
on their part to purchase what they
wanted in the cheapest market, with
out regard to the effect on the republic,
Its welfare or progress
Mr.. Wilson and the democratic lead
ers in congress inherited those views
and they can no more grow out Of them
than they could have escaped limping,
had they been born with one leg short
err than the other From the same
source came the determination not to
extend any help to the merchant marine

had to run, II at all. In direct competi-
ton with the heavily subsidized ships

Our first line of trans atlantic steam

Just when the British government
materially increased the subsidy to the

democratic administration shut off the

This same spirit makes the present

WHY THE WAR TAXI

President Wilson insists that Congress
do not adjourn until the proposed war
tax shall have been passed Those
anxious Congressman. who have remain

summer, and have worried long nights
about the campaign and the condition

The Grangeville globe. [volume] (Grangeville, Idaho) 1907-1922, 1914-10-08

The democratic leaders when they
passed the Underwood tariff for revenue
law, boldly asserted, when the republi-
cans commended that the new law would
not provide revenue sufficient to run
the government, that they knew what
they were about and didn't need any
advice from the protectionists about
| raising revenue and how to run the
government; that they had made pro-
visions for raising $4,000, 900 by means
of the income tax. Recently when
democratic leader Underwood, at the
| request of President Wilson, asked for
the $100,000,o00 appropriation to make
good the treasury deficit caused by
democratic extravaganza, he made the
open confession that the income tax
which he and his colleagues had so
| boastfuny asserted would raise SIC, &C.,
900, had iabored and brought forth $751;
100000, leaving shortage of $39, 900, COO
