TACT KEYSTONE OF SUCCESS
Well Called Magic Gift That Makes
the Wheels Of the World
Go Round"

Tact is the sense of touch, declares
a writer in the London Globe. Climb
ing plants, women and churchmen
possess it. Ivy, the Miss Berrys and
Cardinal Mazarin live for all time as
models of tact and wariness. 1t is a
delusion that a strCng man needs no
tact. To break through the panels
of the door of a room one wishes to
enter rather than turn the handle. Is
no mark of strength. Queen Elizabeth
had little political wisdom, but her
political tact was matchless. Her love
letters to the duke of Anjou and to
her other swains are models of the
answers a virgin queen should give
to pushful lovers. Mr.. Gladstone's
acute and flexible logic could support,
with equal and tactful force, opposite
sides Of every possible question. Hux-
ley, one Of the greatest men Of the
nineteenth century. was a marvel OF
perception, quick and sure. Not hie
intellect but his abounding kindl4ess
made him a man Of INFINITE capacity

1t seems to be conceded by all
that the present administration OF
the City affairs. under the leader
ship of Mayor McClelland has been
a splendid SUCCESS. Starting out
two wears age, under the DONNA
/ ton OF a small Coterie of business
men, pledged 10 place the affairs
OF the City upon a noGern bust
ness-like basis, to appoint coInpe-
tent meu to the various executive
Offices: 10 serve the City freely and
without compensation, the record
OF the present Council has been
such that il reflects great credit,
not only to the mem bers OIL the
Council, but to The citizenship oil
the community.
AT the beginning of the admin
istration, there was appointed the
full quoto OF officers, including
Marshal, Superintendent of Water
works, Night Watch, City Attor-
uey, etc. and all these officers have
served during the two years, with
efficiency, and in perfect harmony
10 the end that the administration
Shollli be success.
The Council has worked in har-
mony on all matters and the May
or and Aldermen have each devot-
ed more time and energy than Is
usual to the care of the City's at.
talrS.
During the two years last past
under this administration, every
department OF the City govei u
ment has been placed upon mod
ern basis; a complete system OF
book keeping for the Water de-
partment has been devised and

The books aud records OF the
City have been at all times kept
as public records, where each and
every citizen of the CITY may ex-
anime same and ascertain the
exact condition of the affairs IT
the City. Hence, 1t has been the
desire OF many citizens to nomi-
rate tor general Offices, and for

possible, all those who have thus

two years; owing to the tact that

A news despatch from Helena,
Montana, quoted Secretary McA-

any real prosperity in the United

he must have said two years"

If the American producer and
the foreign producer should both
be assured that free trade would
be the permanent policy of the
United States, one of two things
would happen-ei either the Amer
ican workman would come very
close to the foreign standard of
wages and living, or he would
cease to produce articles which
can be produced by foreigners.
Fortunately, both Americans and
foreigners know tnat free trade
is only a temporary policy and
that within a very short time the
American people will resume
command OF their own markets.
Hence, the American producer
does not give up his industries
nor does the foreigner make the
large investments that would be
necessary to supply our markets
fully. We merely curtail our ex-
penses. cut out luxuries, live &C.
onomically. maintain bread lines
and take advantage of the par
tial relief afforded by foreign

Deficit Due to Tariff Re-

Washington. Nov. II. Especial

Because of the decrease of i'm

This deficit wouldhave been vastly

these imports were 1929, 461, 9O7 .

About the time Mr.. McAdoo
was making the statement to the

which stated; duty free imports
comprised II 6 per cent of the
total imports for September. 1915,
and 81 per cent of those of Sep
tember, 1914" That is the prime
reason, together with the extrav-

are considered.
For the nine months of the
present year ended September,
1915, there were imported into
the United States goods to the
value of 81, SO2, 900, 900, in spite
of the war. On these imports
the government realized revenue
in the sum of $148, 224, 997, or an
average rate of duty on all goods
imported for this period of bus
11.3 per cent-about as close 20
free trade as could be desired by
the most ardent free trader. For
the corresponding nine months of
the calendar year 1918, January
September, under the Republican
tariff law, we imported goods to
the value of 81, 327, 100000 On
these imports the federal treas
ury realized revenue in the sum
of $242, ,624,859 or an average
rate of duty of 1873 per cent, the
duties so distributed as to afford
a fair measure Of protection to
all American industries and la
Dor. Had this average rate of
duty been collected on the i'm
ports fer the first nine moths Of
the present year, the government
would have realized revenue in
the sum Of $238, ,266. 900, or 500 4,
000.0 900 more than vas actually
realized. For this period the low
duty rate of the Democratic law
represents a monthly loss Of $10,-
900 600 Of revenue to the govern
ment. Bear this in mind, the
anemic condition of the treasury
is not due to decreased imports
but to the fact that so many are
coming in without paying a cent
of revenue to the government,
On September 80, 1918, after
nearly seven months of Demo-
cratic rule, the net balance in the
general fund of the treasury was
S123, 900, 900. On March 4, 1913,
when President Wilson was in
augurated, this balance amount
ed to $149,OOO,OOO. The Demo-
Gratis were presented with a hand

4 with which to set up house
keeping. The Underwood tariff
law went on the statute book s
October 4, 1918, business went to
smash, and the revenues began
to dwindle. However, dae to the
fact that Republican rates on
wool and sugar prevailed for a
portion OF that fiscal year, the
treasury was able to limp through
with but a small deficit on June
80, 1914. With wool on th4 free
| list, the duty On sugar reduced,
| and millions of dollars worth Of
imports coming in free, things
went from bad to worse, and the
outbreak Of the European war
was instantly seized upon as q
pretext for saddllng the country
with the war revenue measure.
Every device known to tricky
bookkeeper was employed by Sec
retary McAdoo to make a coed
showing for June 30, 1915, and
yet there was a huge deficit on
that date. On September 30,

eral fund had sunk to less than
