II is Not the War, but the Tariff

Our friends OF the democratic party,
who are so sure that the disturbance
in manufacturing in this country is due
to the recent war abroad. will hardly
want to know about hearing now tax.
ing place out in the glove district Of
New York over wage arbitration.
The striking glovemakerS want more
wages and the manufacturers say this
is not possible now. Why2 Because
OF the new tariff.
One OF them explained that the i'm
ports Of foreign made gloves in the past
year were 100000 dozen pairs, or
100000 pairs, more than the year
before the new tariff got in its work
and the buy cheapest" doctrine was
adopted Gloves made abroad are
sold at $3.50 a dozen and it costs
the American maker $ll.s0 to produce
them before any outside charges, like
cost OF selling, are taken into account.
French cutters, when in France, get
IS cents for cutting chamois, but in
this country they get oS cents.
The representative Of foreign glove
concern, which had established an
American factory showed an English
glove that cost 1888 a dozen, aud
said that such gloves made here would
cost 5000 before any outside expenses
were included, such as selling cost and
overhead charges. The new tariff, he
said, had resulted in loss Of about so
per cent Of his business. He added
that, before the new tariff was adopted,
his firm had plans drawn for a new
factory that would have more than
doubled the number OF employees, but
the plans were dropped when the tariff
became law.
Another manufacturer said that,
when the new tariff was adopted, his
concern had seriously thought Of open
ing factory abroad and then they
would have been very willing TO see
American wages 60 up; they would be
competing from the other side. Or
course, the war knocked that plan
over. That is all the war seems from
this inquiry to have done. The trouble
with the glove industry is plainly the
new taif. Foreign wages are lower
and so foreign gloves come in. It's
buying cheapest, and that hits the
American workingman. That's the
whole story in a nutshell Hartford
Courant.

Missouri and Wheat

The per capita wheat consumption
OF Missouri for food is Sd bushels and
the total annual Requirement, for seed
and food purposes in this state is
81 030,000 bushels, leaving a surplus
oil production this year Of approximately
%, 100000 bushels.
The United States has approximately
800, 100000 bushels Of wheat on hand
this year for export and Practically all
OF it will probably be sold to the war
ring countries Of Europe, According
to a report issued today by the United
States Department Of Agriculture, the
wheat production Of the United States
this year will be around 1872, 100000
bushels and only 600,000,000 bushels
will be needed for food consumption
and seed purposes at home.

Your Debt

The world owes you something, a living,
you say;
And the world owes you this and the
world owes you that;
And you go with scorn of the world on
your way.
But you owe the world something paste
this in your hat;
You owe to the world just as much, maybe
more,
As the world ever owed unto you
You owe it man who can show straight
score,
Who is honest, and clean, and is true.
-Bentztown Bard.
This is the poetry Of true life,
which if analysed, will be found that
every man owes the world more than
the world owes him. It is usually the
case where a man complains that the
world owes him living, that il a
bllence is struck, he would be found
deep in debt. Every man who lives
an unworthy life, who swears, lies,
gets drunk, qusnels, abuses his neigh
Dor, INDUCES in sensual life, owes
the world great deal more than he
can ever pay unless he reverses his
experience and becomes a man oil
truth, purity. sobriety, industry and
noble aspiration.
II men would generally pay the debt
to the world which they have incurred
through living false and mean lives,
then the world might owe them some
thing and be perfectly able and willing
to pay. 1t would be very profitable
thing if every man would keep book
in which the credit side would show
his good and noble deeds, and the
debt side his low and false ones. A
glance at the book would show hin
what a conscienceless debtor he is

Farm Facts.

by Peter Radford. Lecturer National
Farmers Union,
No farmer is perfect but our mis-
takes can be reduced to a minimum
by intelligent reading and intense
thinking,
When the farmer fully realizes just
how closely his interests are bound up
with those OF neighbor and fellow
farmer, then will farming become a
profitable business,
The highest duty OF the State and
Federal governments is TO place agri'
cultural education within reach OF all.
The prosperity Of the farmer is
coincident with the prosperity Of the
State, and fundamentally, the welfare
Of the people depends upon the cult
vation Of the soil.

Vaccine Won't Cure GIandsrs in Horses

effective in rendering horses immune
from glanders. The Bureau recon-
mends discontinuance OF the serum
and advises that all attention be con-
centrated on the detection and de
straction Of the diseased hcrses. A
thorough disiniectiou Of water troughs,

Walter S. DiCksy Urged to Run for Sen.
ator in 1916.

Walter S. Dickey OF Kansas City,
former chairman oil the republican
state committee, may become a candi-
date for the party nomination for
United States senate in 1916, if efforts
Of members Of the state committee
are successful. Mr.. Dickey attended
the meeting Of the committee at the
Marquette Hotel Monday, at which
time he was urged to make the race.
Mr.. Dickey expressed himself as highly
complimented at the requests from
members OF The organization through
out the state that he become a candi'
date. He did not, however, commit
himself.
The probable candidacy Of former
Gov. Hadley Tor United States senator
was not looked upon lavorably by
members Of the committee present,
several Of whom openly charged Mr..
Hadley with failing to support Mr..
Taft for president two years ago, and
pointed to his alleged Bull Moose
loaning,
Mr.. Hadley contributed to the recent
republican campaign in Missouri and
wrote letter 10 Chairman Babler, ol
the committee, urging republican sue
cess, but this apparently has not pla
called the upstate republicans, some
Of whom charged him with disrupting
the party in this state.
Several members Of the committee
severely criticised Mr.. Hadley for per
mitting his name to be used as pos
sible candidate for United States sen
ator, declaring tina. he had shown no
active interest in the republican party
in Missouri until after the party had
been reorganized and rejuvenated, in
which work he had taken no part
The committee also decided to take
effective steps looking toward thor
ough reorganization Of the republicans
OF Kansas City and Jackson county,
where unusually heavy democratic plu-
ralities we're piled up at the November
election. Judge T. w. Hukriede Of
Warrenton introduced resolution call
ing upon the entire Jackson county
committee to resign.
While a majority Of the committee
favored the resolution, Chairman Bah
Ter suggested that the resolution be
tabled and thorough investigation Of
the situation be made first. This
finally was adopted.
The republican state committee will
maintain its St. Louis headquarters il
definitely, in order to prepare for the
1916 election.
In statement to the committee,
Chairman Babler pointed to decided
increases in the republican vote in the
various congressional districts oi Mis-
souri, with corresponding democratic
decreases, and predicted republican
success two years hence. st. Louis

Starting Forest Fires

long drouth Of last summer and early
autumn, hunter woodsman Of some
sort, or family Of that strange tribe
OF people who drift about the Ozark
regions in ramshackle wagons, may
have set the fire which is now devas'
tating thousands OF acres Of valuable
timber lands. II reports ale to be
fully credited, the flames have spread
into two other states than Arkansas,
where they originated. The timbered
lands OF Eastern Oklahoma and the
heavily timbered section Of the country
in Northern Louisiana are now invaded.
What can already be seen is a loss
aggregating hundreds Of thousands oi
dollars.
The Federal Government has es'
tablished some sort Of forest patrol in
Arkansas, and the Arkansas State
Government has, we believe, cooper
ated with it in an effort to make pro

ever, such protection can not be
made certain. The utmost vigilance
Of the few men set to watch

restricted can not avail 10 make such
confagration impossible, so long as
practically all OF these lands are left
open, unienced, and crisscrossed
everywhere by the trails over which
Ozarkian stroilers are wont to make
their way from point to point, and
which are traversed freely by hunters
at this season Of the year, camping
wherever night may find them, and
leaving their morning fires TO die a
natural death. Sometimes, before one
Of them is dead, a spark Of its life has
flown away to find something like an
mortality in new fires which sweep
vast domains and cease only at the

Officials Think
Arizona Law
Not Valid

Officials at Washington think
the validity OF the Arizona law, re-
quiring 80 per cent or more of the
employees Of firms or corporations
in that state to be citizens of the
United States, concerning which
the British and Italian ambassa-
dors have made representations to
the state department, hinges upon
the legal Interpretation placed up
on the treaty of commerce and
navigation with Italy.
1t was admitted that Great Bri-
tain has no treaty with this coun-
try which defines the rights OF sub
jects in this country, as specifically
as does the treaty of 1871 between
Italy and the United States. Off
cials said that a decision holding
the law to conflict with a treaty
with any country, would invalidate
it, as there have been numerous
decisions in which the courts held
that treaty is above a state law.

National Educator
Visits CirnarrOn
H. w. Foght, An Authority On

OF no little importance was the
visit to this city on Monday, Of H.
w. Voght. an authority on rural

nected with the National Depart
ment OF Education at Washington,

Mr.. Foght was accompanied by
County Superintendent Lockard,
Prof. Conway and Miss Hall, on
his tour of inspection to this city.
The former accompanied Mr. Foght

school was inspected at that place
The party went to Springer, Tues
day morning for a brief visit, re-
turning to the county seat in the
afternoon, from where be left for
Santa Fe and Albuquerque.
1t is indeed fortunate for Cimar-
ron that Mr.. Foght included this
city on his itinerary in Colfax coun-
ty, bringing to the public as it does
the importance with which the To-
cal school is attached to the nation
al bureau OF education. When it
is taken into consideration that Mr.
Foeht's time is verv limited and
and that but few counties in each
state are only visited, Colfax coun-
ty is particularly fortunate in hav-
ing a visit in the person OF this di =
tinguished educator and authority

Much credit is due both County
Superintendent Lockard and Alvan
N. White, State Superintendent Of
Public Instruction, for Mr.. Foeht's
visit to this county. Both are in
cessant workers TO achieve the
greatest advancement in county
and state in an educational poin'
OF view and stride, realizing III u

ly appreciate the statistics when
compiled in book torn and on flf

struction has been asked to have a
special Andrew Jackson" day in
the public schools Of the state on
January 8, 1915, which is the roo'h
anniversary of the battle OF New
Orleans. The request comes from
S. II. Thompson, state superin-

Tennessee. Mr.. White, the head
OF the department in New Mexico,
has not decided what 70 do about
the matter. The New Mexico
schools already has Flag day and
on Tuesday honored Tuberculosis

Aged PrOspectOr Is
Lost In Mountains
Fears Are Entertained That Captain
Cooneyof School Of Mines Has
Penshed In Mogollons.

Capt. M. Coonsy, pioneer Socor-
TO county miner, secretary of the
board of regents of the New Mexi-
CO School of Mines and one of the
most prominent and influential cit-
izens of New Mexico, has been
missing since October IS, and it 10
believed he has perished in the Mo-
gollon mountains.
On the date mentioned Captain
Cooney, who is a veteran miner
aud in whose veins the fever of the
prospector still burns in spite of
his three score years and ten,
started out for prospecting tour
in the Mogollons. While advanc-
ed in years, his physical vigor was
superb, and no fears we're enter
tanned that he would not be able to
take care of himself under any and
all circumstances.
Captain Cooney was last seen in
Magdalena just after leaving So
corro. Since then nothing has
been heard from him, and the
gravest fears are entertained for
his safety. His son, Chas. Coon
ey, whose home is near Rosedale,
arrived in Socorro just before
Thanksgiving for the purpose of
spending the holiday with his par
ents; but upon learning of the pro-
longed absence of his father, left
immediately for the mountains to
search for him. No word has been
heard from the younger Cooney
since be left.
Anxiety over the fate of Captain
Cooney has been heightened by the
receipt of letters from the town of
Mogollon, where the missing man
expected to go, showing that he
had not put in an appeara nee at
that place.

Stock Men
Use New Way
In Industry

Stock growers of this section are
employing every means to increase
their herds with the least outlay Of
capital. Several cattle men who
have heretofore bought up large
numbers Of steers annually and
turned them on the range prepara-
tory to shipping them, have aband-
oned this system and this fall pur-
chased cows and heiiers exclusive
ly with the view that greater re-
turns will be netted in the end.
Undoubtedly the price Of young
steers brought about this imme-
diate change among stock growers
who realize that the cost of range
steers is such that the risk OF pos
sible loss during the winter is too
great for the returns received.
1t is conservatively estimated by
stock growers that the cost Of rum
ming stock for one year is approxi-
mately S. per head and added to
this the loss Of stock during the
winter when infrequent and unex-
pected storms prevail, the margin
between the cost and selling price
was not very remunerative.

TO THE KINGDOM OF. cOLFAX"
Drive Long
Distances For
Wholesome Fruit

Farmers and ranchers within a
radius of over so miles are pouring
into Cimarron to stock up on their
winters supply OF apples at the
Chase ard Springer ranches. A
few days ago several farmers who
live near Roy, drove overland to
these ranches and loaded their wa
eons with this wholesome fruit for
domestic purposes.
A number of parties who have
purchased their winters supply OF
apples here, remarked that they
do so at great saving when it is
considered what they are asked to
pay at their trading points. An
other important feature is that at
this time OF the year, farmers have
ample time to drive long distances
tor their supplies and particularly
so when great pecuniary saving
is effected thereby. and also when
grain and farm produce is exehang-
ed at market value.
