THE CLTNCHING ARGUMENT

When bids were opened in Washing
ton this week on uperdreadnought
for the navy it was found, and IT oc-
casioned no surprise, that proposals
submitted by private concerns were
far in excess of the government esti-
mates. And the government, in its
estimates. made allowance for mar
gin of profits it felt the outsider was
entitled to.
One explanation for the fattened
bids was that the concerns which
would have To supply the materials
and turn out the various parts that
30 to make up q hattleship are rushed
with orders from the European nations
M war They have work that will
keep them occupied for upward of
two years. There is no reason TO
doubt the accuracy Of these state
ments These sea fighters can be
erected at federal ship yards at price
far below that at which the private
concern is willing to build them, even

vator boy should not theorize when his
adopted fathers interests are at stake.
He didn't put his name To the ad, but
Mrs. Beerchamp dropped to 1t some
how and came down to see. There
must have been at least fifteen COED
looking typewriters in Mr.. Beer
champs office when she struck the ele-
vator at the first floor.
"Bub, l want to go up to the eighth

and crowded into the elevator.

WIDER USE OF SCHOOLS.

One of the changes being argued by
Miss Margaret Wilson. daughter Of
the president. in her present lecture
tour of the middle west. is that the
public schools again become a forum
of debate-a place where the public
may gather and listen to and partici-
pate in discussions of questions of pub
lie interest
She would draw the line at school
houses being used by political par
ties for partisan purposes, but urges
that inasmuch as the public schoI
building is the home of public educa-
ton it should not be confined 10 the
use of children when in fact it is
used but comparatively small por-
ton OF the time for this purpose.
1t is but a few years since the de-
batting society-now referred to most
frequently in a spirit of mirtl-was
an incident associated with most
school buildings, but this custom as
well as the equally common custom
of holding public gatherings there has
Tor some reason become obsolete. A
return 10 the old ARRANGEMENT has
much TO commend If in the interest of
social intercourse and is not lacking
IN advantages OF economy.
Miss Wilson's argument is in line
with the ideas of prominent educa-
tors who urge bigger return to the
public from ths hundreds of thon-
sands OF dcilsrs invested in school
buildings. II Rock Island. for in

LABOR NOT DTSHEARTENED

The American Federation of Labor
in starting an international peace
movement based upon humanity hopes
for success where others have failed
The very fact that such "a movement
10 favored by labor at this time is en-
couraging. 1t shows that the complete
defeat of similar movements tostered
Nv European labor and socialist or
CARNATIONS has not discouraged belief
In ultimate success, says the Spring
field News Before the war of nations
infiamed the world internatioualism
was preached and practiced by thous-
ands of workers in Germany, England.
France and other countries. 1t was
frequently remarked by writer's that
national hatreds were giving place TO
class feeling without respect 10 boun-
dairy lines. At the outbreak of the
war. however, sentiment changed over
night. The preachers Of internation-
alism became the opponents and de-
tenders Of the most radical national
ism the world has ever seen. But per
haps they were merely oyerpowered
by numbers. 1t is possible that II
given proper encouragement they
would rise TO assert their old doctrine.
The international movement propos-
cd by the American Federation is not
radical. 1t recognizes nations and ma
tional interests, but believes that hui
mainly is broader than these and apart
from them. Such movement must
appeal 10 labor in the warning nations
and may be an important factor In eff
fecsing a permanent peace.

The Depth of a Cough.

If the mere violence of cough were
any criterion the purely nervous
cough would be the most alarming of
all, and a severe pneumonia cough
would scarcely deserve any attention
at all
a great many people come COM
planning of a cold on the chest
whatever that may mean. They feel
q tearing and a pulling at their very
vitals" and every time they cough.
And. locating the lesion by the svmp-
tom, as is the way with popular dag
nosis, they conclude that there must
be something the matter with their
lungs or bronchial tubes.
AS matter of fact about nineteen
out OF twenty cases of cold on the
chest coming to the doctor for relief
are either troubles Of the larynx or
something higher up. and not in the
chest. A simple irritation in the roof
of the throat 1.-THE pharynxl will cause
cough that seems to come from wav
down in the very base of the chest.
and a mild laryngitis will be accom-
panied by the most frequent and en-
phatic, if not elephantic cough Won
ever heard.
Somebody is always asking US to
prescribe for cough. in spite of our
rules and regulations, and nothwith-
standing the fact that cough is only
symptom which comes from one
cause in one case and from a very dit
1erent cause in another.
However, in order 10 appease the
demand and save the country. We here
present what We believe to be the
most efficient all-round cough medi-
cine for domestic use.
This is the formula.

AGITATION AND BUSINESS

Nobody with any pretension to in
telligence disputes that there was
business depression in the country dur
ing the period in which the new demo-
cratic administration was readjusting
tariff schedules in 1918 Democrats
will not deny that this depression con-
tinued, in lesser degree, in 1914. That
the lowering of tariff schedules itself
had direct bearing on this condition.
however, does not necessarily follow ;
for the same candor on the part of re-
publicans would compel admission of
the well-known truth that the country
saw even worse depression in 1307-8.
when the protective tariff was at its
zenith The fact of the matter is that
in spite Of the protests of the protec-
tionists, not a single American in
dustry has given positive indications
that the Underwood tariff has brought
it any genuine hardship.
The plain inference is that the
source of business disturbance during
the period Of tariff revision and I'M
mediately following the new schedules
adopted was due primarily to uncer-
tainty. Agitation uspense--hrought
about period Of doubt well defined by
the president-regardless of the sar-
casm of the paragraphers-as "psy-
Geological depression.
1t is evident that the injection of the
tariff issue into the forthcoming presi-
Dental campaign can only result in a
further disturbance of conditions. lust
at time when the countr Wis begin
ming TO enjoy a tremendous sweep of
prosperity in practically every line of
industry and commerce. So influential
and conservative publication as the
New York Journal Of Commerce~-rep-
resenting a high tariff clientele-has
already begun to protest against the
opening Of the tariff question at this
time as foolhardy. Agitation. persist
ed in and supplemented by ineessant
calamity wailing, may easily influence
that sensitive factor of business
psychology" until even natural and
logical prosperity cannot withstand
the pressure.
The business interests Of the coun-
try, save those which seek unjust
privileges in the form Of excessive pro.
lection. have nothing to gain by a
fresh agitation of the tariff issue in
The face OF thriving conditions under
The present schedules 1t is not i'm
possible that they Will be called upon
to utilize, with new meaning. the
cry of the petted Industries of pro

we're /, not handicapped by foreign

we're It not handicapped by foreign
contracts.
The war combination in this coun-
try. az in every other nation, has been
taking enormous profits from the gos-
eminent treasures for decades. It's
purpose ts to continue 10 dc so in the
United States unless the government
increases its own facilities for build
ing tts uwn war vessels. We nave In
this country an organization Of pre-
tended patriots calling themselves the
navy league. The stated purpose OF
this body is 10 get behind congress
with view to keeping the nation pre-
pared on the sea.
The navy league, II we are 10 believe
persons who ought to know what they
are talking about, is the mouthpiece
Of the men that piunder the United
States treasury through contracts for
navy vessels and ammunition The
government has been spending mil
lions annually on its army and navy,
with fat profits to those patriots, yet
they tell us that the country is woe
fully unprepared.
Vt seems generally agreed that the
nation should be better prepared TO
defend itself on land and sea than il
is at the present time But there is no
particular rush. The facts brought
out by the bids just opened in Wash
ington only tend 10 further support the
argument and strikingly vindicate the
sentiment that the youngF'ouTteenthd dis
trict congressman, Clyde II Tayenner,
has been advancing with such telling
/ force since he entered the national
house-and even before-to have the
government become its own builder
and manufacturer and get the benefit
of the millions In profits that have been
! ladled out these many years to the
patriots" whose profession it is to
keep their country constantly on the
verge Of war.
