Dlistorting the Facts.

Speaker Champ Clark, who is adj
mfttedly very clever politician.
clearly realizes the. weakness Of his
partyis record and that he Is trying
to forestall Its efforts by distorting
the truth is evident from his recent
speeches. 4
Speaker Clark is going about the
country deliberately trying to- de-
ceiye the voters. For instance, In
a speech at st. Joseph, Mo, he said:
Republican orators assert that the
Underwood tariff bill, even Including
the income tax feature, did not
bring in enough revenue to support
the goyernment-which is absolute-
ly untrue. Everybody knows that
the deficiency in revenue Is being
caused by the European, war"
NE. Clark's last sentence is
absolutely untrue" as. the figures.
compiled by Democratic admins
tratfon, show. The total imports for
the fiscal year ending with June,
1915. exceeded the total for the last
year OF the Aldrich bill by $4,000
600. and as compared with the
year SA0AuS Win June, 18l1. the
increase in the. last fiscal year was
$3.50. 100000. Despite the Euro
pean war there has been a steady
increase of imports, but with the re-
.duced duties imposed by the Under
wood bill there Is tremendous
annual deficit which the income tax
cannot make up. The deficit for the
first 100 days Of the last. fiscal year.
was $16.500, 0e0. For the frst 100
days Of this fiscal year 1t. is S 32,500.-
900.
Instead Of everybody knowing that
the deficit is caused by the Euro.
pean war. everybody knows that ii

is merely talking "houn' dog twad.

the voters.

Low Duty Record.

An average ad valorem rate Of
duty Of 10.11 per cent for the week
ending September 1S. sets the low
duty record under the Democratic
;tartn Law. Imports to the value Of
$50 826,149 entered the thirteen
principal customs districts Of the
United States for that week, on which
customs duties to the amount of 49,
s96S were realized. The average
annual ad valorum rate OF duty I'M
der the Republican tariff law for i e13
was ] z g per cent. which provided am
pie revenue for the government. and
enabled the Democratic administra-
ton to start with a handsome surplus.
For the month Of August, 1915, 10
per cent of our imports came in with
out paying a cent of revenue to the
sgpvernment-the foreign, producers
sfeAped the benefit and the retail price

Germany and Cheap POLITICS.

Mortifying as 1t is to have to say
It, 1t is a fact that the cheapest sort
og petty politics is being played
with the foreign relations Of the
country. especially those with Ger
many. with view Of making Wood
row Wilson stronger with the peo.
pie. A striking instance occurred
recently when Washington newspap-
ermen were given to understand
that a mote" from Germany regard
fling the sinking of the Arabic had
been received and that 1t was .shieh-
" unsatisfactory to the president q
Y was further minated that the
president would demand further
concessions" These limitations.
which came from source close to
the president, were absolutely false,
as untruthful as II they had been
categorical statements.
Most Information regarding for
eign relations reaches the news
paper correspondents by intimation,
mot nat statements, which makes 1t
pessible for the interruptions to use
the press disohnnorably. The pur-
pose was to exaggerate the difficulty
With Germany In order that the
triumph OF President Wilson, .
should appear the greater when a
satisfactory settlement was reached.
The facts are. as atested by both
Secretary Lansing and Ambassador
Won Bernstorft, that no mote" had
been received from Germany, that
|. there had been merely an informal
conference between the ambassador
and Secretary Lansing. at which the
i satisfactory settlement reached last
i week was clearly foreshadowed.
I. OF course, the presidents defend
eTs contend that he does not give
out these false limitations or at
tempt to deceive the press ana the
pe0ple, but they come from source
80 close to him that he is wholly
Responsible, and they have happen
Cd 80 often as to make 1t plain
that they are welcome ito him.
