FRIENDS OF THE RICH
Republicans Now, as Ever, Seek
Prosperity for the Few.
Willing to Let the Manufactures Rob
the People With an Extortlor-
ate Tariff and Dole Out
Pittance for Labor.

Nationally the Republican party is
like the bronze statue Of Louis XVI
in the Tuileries, without heart or
bowels. Mr.. Taft and Rev. John Wes-
ley Hill are walking backward over
the country, Mr.. Taft going from col
lege to college. Rev. Mr.. Hill from
state organization to commercial club.
and each telling their audiences that
the sun may be expected to rise In the
west day after tomorrow.
AS for today, they are deploring and
viewing with alarm. During the early
spring, Jim Watson of Indiana and
Senator Weeks OF Massachusetts
strolled up and down the continent
deploring the decay of free institu-
tons and promising return of the
pot pie of the fathers. None of these
gentlemen had. anything to offer in
the way of solution for unemployment,
excepting a high tariff. which will
let the manufacturer rob the people
with an extortionate tariff and divide
the crumbs from their table with
labor. II any Of them saw anything
In the way of the negotiable distribu-
ton of our national wealth, he was
silent about 1t. The spectacle did not
disturb him.
To these men and to all the leaders
In the Republican party today, the
problem of the people is not the dis
tribution Of wealth, but it's accumula-
ton. They are friends first of all
of the accumulators. The Republican
party as 1t stands today is exhibiting
no vestige of interest in anything but
the accumulation of wealth; prosper
ity rather than justice is the Repub-
lican aim Property is it's god. To
own, to control, to have and to hold
these are Republican ideals. To give,
to serve, to broaden life and glad
den living-these in the composite
Republican mind are things of the
child. They have been put away along
with the Progressive leadership that
passed out of the party in 1912.-Wil-
liam Allen White in the Metropolitan
Magazine.

MAY BE TRACED TO TARIFF
American Manufacturers Who Cheat.

Habit Under Protective System.

Those American manufacturers who
have been cheating the French gov
eminent on army contracts for shoes,
which by sample were good and on
delivery proved to be rotten. and for
stockings which were to be 70 per
cent wool and 80 per cent cotton and
proved to be the other way round.

Goods Economist They are denounced
as traitors In our own camp" They
have "besmirche1 the honor of Made
in u. S. A. merchandise" at time
when every effort is being made to
give the label prestige which will
weigh In all outside markets.
There Is justice in this indignation
There Is also an element of injue-
tice. What these manufacturers have
been doing to the French army they
have been doing to the American peo-
pie time out Of mind. 1t has become
an ingrained habit. They have been
encouraged In this by their own gov
eminent and commonly by majority
of voters. The national power of tax
alton has been used to stimulate them
in the hidden substitution Of cotton
for wool, pastebsard for leather, shod-
dies for honest material.
This national policy in cultivation OF
manufacturing helpfulness and false
pretension has now been reversed;
vet old habits are hard to shake of.
The Dry Goods Economist Is right
ly appalled, by this noisy international
advertisement of the tariff-fostered
shoddy habit at SO inopportune a
time. But does anybody suppose

eral, IT could have told him about the
way the scoundrel spoke Of Elsa"
And Warrington, as he sought the
cafe veranda, wished he could have
told the basic truth Of his fighting
mood: the look Mallow had given Elsa
that day in Penang. Diligently he be-
gan the search. Mallow and Craig
we're still in their rooms, doubtless
sleeping of the debauch Of the pre-
ceding night. He saw that he must
wait. Luncheon he had in town.
At four O'Clock his inquiries led him
into the billiard annex. {. His throat
frightened little as he discovered the
two men engaged in game OF Ameri-
can billiards. He approached the table
quietly. Their interest in the game
was deep, possibly due to the wager
laid upon the result; so they did not
observe him. He let Mallow finish
his run. Liquor had no effect upon
the mans nerves, evidently, for his
eyes and stroke were excellent A
miscue brought an oath from his lips,
and he banged his cue upon the door.

as blue and hard as arctic Ice.

Health and Excitement.

The sick rate in Russia has de-
creased since the war began. Part OF
the improvement-doub the great
er parts due to the passing Of

the curious way in which the human
frame reacts to excitement and de-
