PANAMA TOLLS EXEMP-
TION REPEAL
Cincinnati Record. ]

Cincinnati Record.
1t is glorious to be right. And what
is it to be right? To be right is to con-
form ones conduct to truth and honesty
and loyalty to obligation.
To be right is to play the game of life
according to the the rules of the highest
standard of integrity. And what is that?
1t is to keep faith with your neighbor,
even though by so doing you suffer a loss:
it is to place honesty and honor above
everything else; it is to live within the
line of duty.
Even a nation is not exempt from liv-
ing up to its obligations; and an obliga-
ton involves also a duty. According to
the terms of its treaty obligation it was
the duty of this Government to repeal
the exemption clause that favored the
coastwise shipping trust. That duty has
been performed by the Democratic party,
a party that has always been true to its
obligation; a party that has never sur
rendered nor abandoned a principle in
order to gain a temporary success. A
success gained by an abandonment of
truth and honor can never be otherwise
than temporary success; there can be
no permanent success unless it is founded
upon the immutable principles of truth,
and this involves a strict compliance with |
ones obligations.
That the Democratic party has been |
faithfulto the country obligations should |
cause every Democrat to rejoice with ex-
ceeding gladness. 1t is proud day for
Democrats. No longer does our country
stand dishonered in the eyes ofthe world;
the country's honor has been redeemed. |
There is another satisfaction in this re-
peal of the Panama Canal tolls exemption
clause: the Democratic party, as repre-
sented in Congress, has shown itself TO
one of its time -honored tenets-antagon
ism to the granting of subsidies; the
taxation of the many for the benefit of
the favored few.

MAKING THE ANTITRUST
LAW HARMLESS

The House of Representatives has done
well in exempting labor and farmers or
ganizations from trust prosecutions. 1t
has also done well in amending the Clay
ton antitrust bill so as to curb the cause
of injunctions by monopoly-controlled
judges Antitrust legislation has hither-
to been but false pretense; means of
diverting attention from predatory privil-
eges and to harass labor organizations and
business combinations. AS
the law is still futile so far as
solving the trust problem is concerned,
but it is at least stripped of some of its
vicious features.

sandusky to Columbus, you will find
upon investigation that the land lying
on the eastern side Of the Scioto river
is built upon sandstone and shale, and
therefore the Afarms of eastern Ohio
are relatively deficient. On the west
side of this line, where there is lime
stone, the farms are more productive
and do not need so much lime, while
those of eastern Ohio must have more
lime added to the soil In order to
reach a relative greater efficiency in
production.
"In our experiments at the Expert
ment Station we have found that by
the use of phosphate we can increase
the yield per acre $14 or SIS. We
have found also that by the use OF
about 11s tons of limestone per acre
in years the average increase is SIS
to $40 per acre.

spread limestone is to grind it into

TAKING STOCKS

Sam Weinstein had a cheap department
store in Helena, Montana, a few years
ago. One day the principal merchants
of the city marched in a body to protest
to the County Board of Equalization
against what they called the high assess
ments." Weinstein went, but not with
them, for they looked down on him. One
after another they made their complaints
and spoke of their high taxes" Then
the chairman asked Weinstein if he had
any complaint to make.
"Mr. Chairman" " said Sam, 1--WE was

crop of 1914 would save the Democratic

Therefore, direct pulverized lime is

Mr.. Wing then related the story of

the audience how he indicated this to
