Il was reported a few years ago
that concerted effort would be
made by the European goyernme nts
TO drive these wanderers out. No
doubt the war has created poor pick
ing for them across the water.
The tramp community is a lower
form of social organization. It Is
made up of the dregs of the white
races, of men who have been failures
and too indolent and irresponsible
to feel any social obligation. Its ut
ter moral collapse is shown by the
fact that there are so few women
tramps. Even the lowest forms OF
womanhood revolt from it.
The gypsy tribes are composed of
certain distinct races that have al
ways maintained an identity of their
own. While their ideas Of law and
order are primitive, they maintain
family life and look after their chill
dren who are often educated at good
schools. They often own real es.
tate, where they settle down until the
wanderlust comes over them.
There have been many bright men
among these gypsy tribes, who dis
play business ability. AS fortune tell
ers they are wonderful readers of
the human face. AS horse traders
few men beat them. Probably 1t is
here that they make most of their
living. There are a great many men
who feel illimitable confidence in
their ability to value horse flesh, that
is not destroyed by many disappoint-
ments.
The lonely farm house does not
welcome the gypsies with their black
looks and swarthy faces. AS the coun-
try settles up, the people have less
and less patience with wandering ele'
ments. Moved on rapidly by the po'
lice from town to town, their life can
not be as poetic as imaginative peo-
pie think. Probably in time most OF
them will settle down to settled resi-.
dence.

OCCUPYING ALL OF
THE ROAD

As the number of the automobiles
on the highways is multiplied by the
price reductions of the past year or
two, the complaints become more
than ever numerous Of the people who
hog" the whole road.
The owner Of his own car, In the
great majority of cases, is reasonably
careful. II costs him good money,
and he has no liking for repair bills.
With hired chauffeurs the case is
frequently different. They are young
fellows who have often acquired lit
tie prudence of their own. They
would not have to pay for n new
car II their machine was smashed.
Also they acquire great deal OF
skill, so that they can turn out the
least possible distance, and make the
turn at the last possible moment be-
fore collision. They come tearing
down the middle of the street, Other
cars go away out on the side. The
spceder keeps rejoicing along in the
center of the road, thus abandoned

himself that his daring operation saw
ed him from losing two seconds by

Owners Of a car that is operated in
such fashion should realize what n
coarse and brutal appearance such
manners make.

there have been many speculations
as TO its cause. Thousands upon
thousands OF wild ducks, snipe, sand

local importance as immense num-

migrating and many OF them succumb

terprise.
Fifth: A depleted treasury with more
taxes in sight, since the present war
tax bill expires by limitation at the
end of the current year and will have
to be renewed in some form.
In seven months, from January /,
to July 81, 1914, the loss of revenue,
under the Wilson-Underwood Tariff
Law as compared with the repealed
Republican Tariff Law of the previous
year, was upwards of $23,000,O00.
The damage to the country in That
period was enormous and foreign
manufacturers displaced $24S,000,000
worth of American labor. That. how
ever, was only the beginning.
The whole argument in favor of
President Wilson's low tariff system
was based upon the alleged control
of trusts and monopolies and the high
cost of living.
Let us remember how his remedial
scheme worked out. BY admitting
the goods of foreign cheap labor free
of duty, and at such rates of duty as
made American competition impossi-
be, the Wilson anti artificial" tariff
law cost the American Treasury a
full $100,000,000 of revenue the first
year. The retail price of foreign COM
modities was not reduced to the Am
| erlcan consumer because the foreign
| err added the duty to his price. The
| Democrats, therefore, did not relieve
the American consumer, but added
| 100000, 900 to the profits of the for
eign manufacturer who was thus en-
abled to take the work from the Am
erican workingman.
II anyone thinks the cost of living
has been reduced by Mr.. Wilson's
plan Of reducing the tariff and lower
ing the artificial" barriers which
check competitive imports all he ha!
to do is to compare the prices o

Lest We Forget" is about the best
text that can be recommended to Re
pubicaus at the present time. The
European war and the temporary
prosperity it has brought about in
spots is being used for all 1t is worth
to make Republicans forget what was
done to them in 1912. Above all
things this is the time not to forget,
bat to remember. We should re-
member that the whole country was
prosperous and that all men were en-
ployed prior to 1912. We should re-
member that the entire Republican
system of prosperity was attacked
and that We were charged with re-
sponsibility for the high cost of living
and for a great variety of economic
evils. President Wilson came to Con-
gress with direct message to back
up these charges. He did not mince
words, but declared emphatically
that the progress we had made un-
der the Protective Tariff System
must be destroyed. In his Address
from the Throne, April s, 1913, i'm
mediately after he had called Con-
gress In extraordinary session, he
said:
"We must abolish everything that
bears even the semblance Of privilege
or of any kind Of artificial advantage
aside from the duties LAID
upon articles which We do not, ant
| probably cannot, produce, therefore
and the duties laid upon luxuries and
merely for the sake of the revenues
they yield, the object of the tariff du
| ties henceforth laid must be effective
competition, the whetting OF Amer
can wits by contest with the wits o
the rest of the world"
This was the beginning OF tn
Presidents efforts to put into enec
the promises OF the Democratic pal
ty. In any discussion of the relativ
merits of a Republican or Democrat
system of government this messag
of President Wilson should not b
forgotten.
I Neither should we forget the failur
of the administration to reduce tn
/ cost of living, to destroy the trust
or to remedy any Of the other evil
charged against the Republican part
We should not forget the cons
quences of the policy which the Pres
r dent advocated with such vigor. q,

cIink about a little roll of gold coins

The popular objection to gold has
always been that it takes care to

doubt paid It out for bright copper
cents. In gold using countries, peo'
pie are used to handling gold coins
and they keep them in separate purs'
es. Our people are too hurried ana

In older days the American people
used to handle hard money pretty
freely. But the preference for pa

THE TENDENCY TO. SPEND

A certain father has devised a
rather novel plan to develop re-
sisting power in his boys. Know
ing the value of self-control, es-
pecially in money matters, he
gives each boy weekly allow
ance with the stipulation that
it must be carried in the pocket
during the week, and only half
of it spent. One boy receives 20
cents each week. If, he pro-
duces a dime at the week end,
he gets another 20 cents; if he
doesn't he gets only dime. The
other boy receives a dime and
must produce a nickel to get an
other dime. There is thus a
constant incentive to save-to
resist. 1t may be that the re-
ward spurs them on. but the fact
remains that this father is de-
veloping resisting power in the
boys that will stand them in
good stead IN after years.
There is merit in this plan, for
the greatest achievement any
man can make is to conquer him
self; to overcome his natural ten
