The Beautiful Cypress.

Of all the trees in America the
cypress is in summer the most
beautiful. Ever fresh and green,
it's tiny leaflets resemble the
choicest ferns. Young, it is a
charm: older, it is inspiring and
interesting: mature. it becomes
majestic, towering, with a long
straight, thick trunk, which
makes the best of durable lum-
ber. It is a tree of rapid growth.
It is hardy anywhere in the corn
belt, and southwark it has no in
sect enemies or diseases. A man
could plant cypress tree in his
lawn, enjoy its wonderful pres
ence during his life, and his son
might cut it and with the pro-
ceeds send the grandson to col.
lege for a year. What other tree
will afford shade, add beauty and
make fine lumber at the same
time? Cypress trees transplant
easily, though they should be
mulched the first year and looked
after occasionally. Once estab
lished they are able to forage fol
themselves. Cypress leaves have
been found unchanged in blocks
of coal deep down in the earth

third, different from all.
During the debate in Congress
on this provision, Republican
members repeatedly warned the
Democrats that, quite apart from
its policy. its phraseology was
meaningless and should be cor
rected to become effective.
1t was so much breath wasted.
Inc majority StuDDornly refused
to accept either caution, sugges-
tion or amendment. The result
has been that this very import
ant clause has thus far proven
mere useless verbiage, except to
cause litigation and expense to
all concerned. About the only
purpose it has served is to en-
phasize the fact that the ineffi-
cient methods of Democratic le-
gislators have made it impossible
for them to put even their own
ideas into effect.

The Difference
Depends on Our Age How
We View the Coming of the
Circus next Saturday, May

, | SAS 'ASOO SSSbNA NOyS A0J
8.
Unless the weather is bad a big
crowd will be in town on show
day. Dry years, short crops,
closed factories and other matters
of minor consideration have but
little to do with the size of the
crowds who go to see the show.
To those of us who have reach
ed mature wears the annual COM
ing of the circus means little
more than an hour or two of
pleasant diversion from the daily
routine of business affairs, but to
the small children it is a red let
ter day-an occasion to be re-
membered through life. Who
does not recall with vivid mem
ory the first circus they ever saw?
The sight of the big and fierce
locking animals. the music of the
bands, the funny antics of the
clowns and the wonderful aero
batic feats of the gaily dressed
performers, all make indelible
impressions on the childish lAind,
ard, in their youthful fancy, they
are transported to real Wonder
land.
For a number of days the chill
dren of this city and vicinity have
seen the vivid advertisements,
where life-sized beasts of the
Jungle seem ready to spring upon
them from every billboard in
town, and it goes without saying
that if the little folks had their
way about it every other matter
would be relegated to the back
ground on show day.
The circus has been condemned
by a few people as an evil insti-
tuition, and one that should not
be patronized by Christian peo-
pie. We have never been able
to see it in that light. True, there
are some features that could be
changed so as to exert a better
moral influence, but on the other
hand. there are so many features
that are educational. The wild
animals, for instance. There
would not be one person in a
thousand that would ever see
more than the pictures of these
animals were it not for the circus.
The wonderful acrobatic perfor-
mances have no doubt encour-
aged many youth to greater a.
chievements along physical lines
by noting the results obtained by
constant and persistent effort.
There may be some objection

shows, but our sympathies ale

More Democratic Blum

the present administration is now
before the Court of Customs Ap-
peals, and a decision is looked for
at an early date.
The court is expected to inter-
pret the meaning of the provis-
ion in the Underwood tariff bill
proposing to give five per cent
discount. in customs duties on
merchandise imported in Ameri-
can vessels. Thus far that clause
has failed in its purpose, just as
the tariff measure, of which it is
a part, failed to provide adequate
revenue.
Enacted October 13, 1918, it
failed on it's first test, and that
test applied, too, by the then at
torney general less than thirty
days after the bill was signed.
No sooner had the tariff bill
been presented to the secretary
of the treasury for administra-
ton than a doubt arose in his
mind as to the validity of the five
per cent discount provision. He
appealed for advice to Attorney
General McReynolds, who is now
on the Supreme court bench. The
provision was pronounced inOpe-
rative.
THE five per cent discount to
American vessels cannot be CIV
en- is the language of the at
torney general quoted by the Sec
retary, without impairing the
stipulations of existing treaties
between the United States and
various other powers, and conse-
quently the subsection is inope-
rative."
Acting on this opinion the sec
retary of the treasury issued an
order to customs collectors, in
structing them to make no allow
ance of discount on duties under
this provision.
Importers who had relied on
the law appealed to the board of
general appraisers. Their ruling
resulted in further confusion,
and neither side being satisfied,
the case was taken to the court
of Customs Appeals, more than
a year after the law had passed.
The Democratic committee re-
port on the five per cent provis-
ion defined it as "a discrimina-
ton in favor of American ship
ping, designed to build up our
merchant marine and keep at
home millions of dollars now be-
ing paid to foreign vessels to
carry our products to foreign
markets."
Yet although they fully real
lied the tremendous Importance
of this measure which they said
involved millions of dollars, they
lacked the foresight to consult
their own attorney general as to
the possibility of enacting it into
law. They had a vague idea OF
what they wanted, adopted q
vague method of trying to secure
it, and by careless guess work
threw the whole matter into tht
courts.
Furthermore, even if the prin
ciple of discrimination had no
been questioned by the attCrne!
general the provision was q
