Then he lit a cigarette and went off
to the show.
The surgeon had taken a portion of
the patients back and used ii to re
place the cheek. With the skin of the
back he fashioned the lips. Then he
took portion of the mans short ribs
TO make the nose and the substance
OF the chin. From the forehead he
took the skin for the nose and from
the stomach the skin for the chin.
Finally, when the man was practically
reiashioned and could be permitted
TO look at his new face, the doctor
asked him if there was anything he
regretted. The soldier replied, Yes,
my moustache." "Oh, don't you worry
about that. said the doctor and with

What Is Tariff For

When Republican shouts that we
must have a protective tariff and In
the same breath shrieks that the rev.
enues have fallen of because Of the
European war, ask him what the
prime object Of protective tariff ia.
In the many years that we have
been attending political meetings and
listening to the mouthings OF Repub-
lican tariff preachers We have been
led to believe that the tariff was lev
led to keep out foreign goods of all
kinds rs well as foreign raw materials
so that the home grower and manu-
facturer might have Il market I'M
hampered by foreign competition.
Now, the war has done more than
any tariff could-just what these men
said they wanted-it has almost COM
pletely shut out the importation of
goods from foreign countries and
prices in this country are high.
But the tariff shOuter is not
pleased. He is now lamenting the
fact that we are not getting revenue
from foreign goods because none are
coming in.
The very conditions which he has
always clamored for exist-prices in
this country are high and we are
shipping vast quantities of goods of
all kinds to foreign countries besides
selling to our home people. Our crops
are abundant and the demand is I'M
precedented. We have more money
than we ever had before and every
foreign country is now in debt to the
United States, and we have become
the great financial center of the
world.
For the first time in our history we
do not owe money to other countries,
but have money coming from them
in steady streams.
And yet the tariff shouter will not
be cOmforted.
He had predicted drop in prices
II the Democrats took the tariff off
any single item, and in spite of his
dire predictions every article from
which the tariff was removed is SELL
ing higher today than it was before.
Are we to believe that Republicans
really are sorry that prices have gone
up or shall we just take it for granted
that all Of their talk about tariff is
simply bunk just as we have al
ways claimed it to be?-Rawlins

Inspecting Us

One George Clark visited Meeker
last Saturday. At this office, George
was a factory inspector. Our plant
passed. At other places, he was
sanitary inspector. But at all times
George was n Carlson appointee and
from the governors home town.
Mr.. Clark's most distinguishing
characteristics. however, were his
loud-mouthed arrogance, his well
grooned pomposity, and his acute
propensity for using big words in the
wrong place, and - mispronouncing
them.
But, he evidently needed the job.
AS he passed the outer guard and
worked his way into our sanctum,
we took him for one of those dere-
licts of humanity known as tramp
printers.
p. S.-If all the Carlson appointees
are of this brand, it will be no trouble
for the Democracy to resume power
in Colorado next year.
