BUSINESS AND THE TARIFF
Representative Men OF the Country
Are Returning to Feeling
of Optimism.

There are growing evidences OF
business revival. The custom receipts
for last month totaled nearly $2O,OOO,-
900. the largest since the European
war began, and the total treasury re-
ceipts for the month were $13,000,0OO
more than for February. Other evil
dences have appeared. In a recent Is
sue of the Worlds Work were gath
cred the views of 100 representative
business men from every part of the
country regarding our present and
future outlook. The magazine calls 1t
"a symposium of American optim-
ISM" The views cover trade, stocks,
freight rates, savings, investments.
employment of labor, economy among
the people and the business outlook
On the latter 420 answer "encourag-
ing" There are two ideas that stand
out prominently, the first Is the, OPP
timism. the second is the frequently
volunteered opinion that the country
should go back to protective tariff.
These men seem not to have taken
into account the repeated public de-
mand for tariff reduction. They for
get that another tariff agitation would
be no more beneficial than those Of
the past, says the magazine in discuss
ing this suggestion. Moreover, they
overlook the fact that the Underwood
tariff is in effect protective. We need
so much revenue that the tariffs are
made in items as high as protective
tariffs of other nations. The virtue of
the present tariff is that 1t was not
drawn in the interest of the people
whom 1t protects, nor will any other
tariff be so drawn, for we have hap
PLY gone beyond the stage Of political
immortality But there is wider
aspect of the tariff as set forth by c..
w. Barron of the Wall Street Journal
in his book, "The Audacious War" He
says we should thoroughly understand
that the war was caused by tariffs
and that the continent under pro-
tective tariff is national selishness.
We may have reciprocal trade rela-
tons under tariff, but that is differ
ent from commercial advantages wrest-
ed from other countries.-Indianapolis

NOT A PARTY GAIN
Republican Victory in Chicago
Explained.
City Never Has Been Democratic, as
the Term Is derstood-Figures
of Other Elections Make
This Fact Plain.

We must advise Republicans not to
be misled by the false political pre-
lenses in respect to the Chicago cleo
ton. II it were true that Chicago Is
Democratic city, the fact that it has
elected Republican mayor by a big
plurality might be significant. but Chi
cago is not, and, since the organiza-
ton Of the Republican party, never
has been, strictly speaking, Demo-
cratic CITY,
Three times during the last fifty
years Chicago has given pluralities to
Democratic presidential candidates.
Tilden carried it in 1876 by narrow
margin, as did Cleveland in 1888. The
only time Chicago ever gave Demo
cratic presidential candidate an en-
phatic majority was in 1892, when
Cleveland had lead Of $4,000 and
carried the state. At the election OF
1912 Roosevelt and Taft combined
had $4,000. against Wilson's 10000.
In 1896 the Republican plurality was
$4,000; in 1900, 1000; in 1904. 10000;
in 1908, $4,000.
Error as to Chicago's political status
arises from the fact that locally 1t has
been governed most of the time for 80
years by Harrison party operating
under the Democratic name but hav-
ing no other connection with the ma
tional organization. This party has
been made up of Democrats, Repub-
leans and Socialists, who have CO.
operated in favor of a loosely admin
istered city government. Nobody but
Harrison has been able to make
such a combination under so-calied
Democratic auspices. When. as was
the case this year, Harrison lost the
Democratic nomination, his personal
party had no further interest in De-
mocracy, and most of It's members
evidently voted the Republican ticket.
Comparing the straight Democratic
vote, 162,155 (not counting women),
with Wilson's vote of 100000 in 1912
and Bryan's vote Of $4,000 in 1908, 1t
will be seen that nothing has collapsed
in Chicago except Harrisonism.

tradesmen and printers that the re-
sultant output is often astonishingly
good.
All over Europe, especially in dis
tricts that have been conquered, are
being issued papers in the native Ian
guage, for the purpose of educating
the civil population to the conqueror's
viewpoint and of combating the claims
and statements of native papers. Many
are printed in two languages. Bust
ness houses, banks and factories are
publishing papers full of home news,
which they send to employees at the

FIND POOR MILK PRODUCERS
Many Fine Appearing Animals Found
to Be Quite Improbable by
Work Of Testing.

The work of testing the dairy herd
is most interesting and produces
many surprises. Many of the finest
appearing cattle will be found to be
the poorest producers, while some OF
the animals thought to be scrubs will
be worthy of place in the construct
ed herd.
No time should be lost In disposing
of the unproductive cows. A market
can readily be had for those In good
condition, while the money received
for their sale can be most wisely ex-
pended by purchasing a sire and two
or more dams OF dairy breed. These

HABIT OF DROPPING THE CUD
One of Symptoms Of Certain Subacute
Forms Of lndigestion-care-
fully Examine Teeth.
(By w. r. GILBERT.)


Dropping the cud" takes place In
certain diseases and conditions of the
mouth, where mastication is painful,
but it is also one of the symptoms OF
certain subacute forms of indigestion
dependent on bulky and innutritious
food
In some cases the animal is un'
thrifty, with irregular bowels and de-
PRAYED appetite; but these are not so
pronounced when the trouble is due to
pain in mastication owing to disease
of the tongue or mouth, or to dental
Irregularities.
In young bovines, dropping the cud''
is very often due to the persistence of
the crowns of deciduous molarS.
The animal eats tolerably well, be-
cause the food, in the first place, is
nipped off by the incisors, twisted
around by the tongue and hastily trans
ferred to the first stomach.
It is after chewing the cud that the
food is subjected to the reduction to
minute particles by the molars, the
process causing pain, and the ball of
food or cud is dropped out Of the
mouth instead of being laboriously
masticated and swallowed.
The first thing to do in these cases
is to carefully examine the mouth with
the aid of gag and to remove the per-
sisting molar crowns If it is these tenn
porary teeth causing the painful masti
| cation.

EATS WITH HIS men
Kaiser Depends on ''Goulash

Intimate Picture of the SoIdierEmper
or in the, Fieid-No Special Prep
aratons of Any Kind Are
Made for Him.

New York-An intimate picture OF
the kaiser in the field, the soldier.
emperor whose sharing of the life OF
the common soldier has united the
humblest and the highest in Germany
in love, affection and generation, Is
given in the following dispatch to the
New York Staats-Zeitung.
The kaiser, to whom the 'gOulash
cannons." the great travelling kettles
Of hot food, owe their existence, Is
very favorably inclined toward this
important new continuance on the
field. Many tales are told in evidence
of this. of which the following is one:
A country road in France-soldiers
arrive. carefully carrying dishes. The
dust-covered field grays who are en-.
joying their repast suddenly become
attentive. On the road there appear
four riders-officers. One separates
from the group and gallops over TO thf
"goulash cannon"
Have you a bit left for u.s.
eat your service, captain.
Almost Immediately the otAe
riders gallop up. The kaiser! IN de-
lighted surprise all shout HuTrah!'
and the highest commander thanks
them with smile.
"How does it taste?" he asks. DO
not let me disturb you; only want
bite to eat, too; | am hungry"
Then he rides over to the "goulash
cannon" where the captain already
has dish filed for him.
He takes it good naturally and eats
In the midst of his soldiers.
Excellent, excellent" he says now
and then and asks for second por-
ton. 81 am taking away your share,
but will prove my gratitude
The soldiers are enthusiastic and
proud that the kaiser took his food like
each of them from the same "goulash
cannon" and "dined" in their midst.
A real soldier kaiser! A rousing hur-
rah accompanies him when he takes
leave of his men with vigorous Good
day."
In the evening several geese and
chickens were sent as Naturalization
for the noon meal" and were eaten
with great JOY for supper.
This little incident Is characteristic
of the attitude and life of the kaiser
at the front, for he let's no opportun-
ity pass to take his food from the
"goulash cannon" when he is visiting
his troops along the battle line. For
this reason no arrangements are ever
made for the kaiser's meals on these
trips.
1--WE will meet 'goulash cannon,
he always says when asked as to what
he wishes to order for his dinner.
This is also proof Of the excellence
of the food which the troops receive
from the field kitchens, for the kaiser
never announces his arrival before
hand. No special preparations are
made for him.
Il will eat what my soldiers eat
he has often declared.

o'clock in the afternoon on the Piney
farm near Wright's springs, east of
Mt. Gilead where Mr.. Russell was
hunting with Clay Barre and Austin
Cooper.
The party was passing through a
woods when they encountered a
swamp and Mr.. Russell who was
carrying the gun cooked had been
walking on a log to keep out of the
water. AS he stepped off of the log
he placed the butt of the gun on the
ground to steady himself, his right
hand resting on the muzzle 1t is
supposed the trigger caught on a
twig, discharging one of the barrels.
The discharge entered the right side

tore away a part of the forearm.
Mr.. Cooper, who was near, at once
