same as they are today, combined to
control the prices all v e the world
The price was s1.25 per pound when
the first salicylic acid factory was
erected in st. Louis. The American
manufacturers cut the price far be-
low the European prices and forced
the agents Of the trust to reduce their
prices in the United States to Sc cents
per pound for quantities of more than
100 pounds. The American manufac-
turers are today the only opponents

countries in the world are controlled
by this trust and uniform prices are

STONES APOSTASY

Perhaps the most novel line of ar
gument ever presented in the United
States Senate was that given by Sen
ator Stone of Missouri, when apollo
giving for his n-Democratic attitude
with regard to a protective duty on
dyestuffs. Senator Stones excuse is
epitomized in his closing words:
Il wish only to remark that l stand
for this bill, because | know oil no
other way to break down and free
our industries from the domination of
a great foreign monopoly that preys
upon them. The old political features
OF a tariff, the question of protection
or free trade, is not involved. The
question is. shall we use the only
power this government has at its
command. the taxing power, to de-
stroy or to control a monopoly of the
kind / have indicator" (Mr. Stone
referred TO the German d~yestuffs mo-
nopoly.)
Having rid himself of that remark
able piece of philosophy, the Senator
from Missouri voted for dyestuffs
rates which are o protective, and
which will have little effect on the
German monopoly. But the position
Of the Senator is ridiculous. Accord
ing to his W statement, the purpose
of the duties is to break down the
German monopoly. What is that but
protection to the American dye in
dustry? Having committed himself
thus far, would Senator Stone vote
for protective rates on acetyl-salicy-
lie acid, aspirin, and various patent
medicines controlled by a 500, 600, 900
corporation of Germany? How would
he stand with regard to protective
rates on gallo and pyrogallic acids,
epson salts, phenolphthalein, oxalic
acid, potash, cream of tartar and tar
taric acid. bleaching powder, gelatin.
glue, and various other articles com
ing under the chemical schedule
which are controlled by European
monopolies? The testimony of the
Heyden Chemical company. OF New
Jersey, before the ways and means
committee at the time the present
tariff law was being framed. is typi-
cal of European monopolistic contro.
of the various articles mentioned:

REPRESENTATIVE CURRY DIS
CUSSES WILSON'S WAR POLICIES

Claims that President Wilson has
kept us out of war" are so ridicu-
lousy untrue that it is amusing to
those who know the facts, declares
Representative Charles F. Curry, of
California.
"His refusal to recognize Huerta
as the de facto president of Mexico,
as was done by European nations,
encouraged bandit chiefs to continue
their guerrilla warfare. Since then

should not be a candidate for the
presidency of Mexico. and his meddle-
some muddling generally, caused by
his personal antipathy to Huerta
based on an uncomplimentary re-
mark made about him by Huerta
prolonged the revolutions.
president Wilson committed two
acts of war against Mexico. One pun
tive expedition was for the ayowed
purpose of compelling Huerta to fire
a salute of twenty-one guns to our
flag; a number of American marines
and Mexicans were killed at Vera
Cruz; the supply of note paper a
the White House was exhausted, but
the salute was not fired. The seconc
punitive expedition was after the raid
on Columbus and was to get Villa

at liberty.
The President called for a con.
ference of Mexican factions to estab-
lish a de facto government, but said
he would not recognize the leader oil
any faction that failed to attend. Car
rama was the only leader that re
fused to pay attention to the confer
ence and President Wilson recognized
him.

CARE YOU A MASON?"


In "Are You a Mason?" John Barry
more portrays the character of Frank
Perry, dashing young married man OF
exuberant spirits and vivid imagination.
When his wife announces that her chief
desire in life is to have him become a
Mason, Perry grasps the opportunity it
affords for staying out several nights,
explaining his numerous absences from
home by the logical statement that he is
spending his evenings at the Masonic
Lodge, undergoing the ordeals of initia-
ton.
One night wife delightedly announces
that her father, Grand Master of the
Masons, is coming to visit them. Perry's s
agonized efforts to keep his father-in-law
from discovering his deception, and the
fearful tangles in which he becomes in
volved thereby, eliminating In situa.
ton which is one of the funniest climaxes
ever conceived, furnish the humor of the
farce, which is further heightened by
the fact that the "grand master" has
also deceived his family, is not Mason
and is constantly manufacturing othel
deceptions to safeguard his first false
hood. How he is finally caught and cor
nered by his clever son-in-law, whit
energies victoriously from the chaos HI
has created, enos the comedy in roar
ingly laughable manner.

Wants To Make Good.
Players Must Make First Move
At Emmitsburg.

Now that springtime is here and that
soon few warm days will likely appear,
the thought of baseball is looming up
among those interested in the game in
almost every town in the country. In
an article in the Emmitsburg Chronicle
of last week under the caption Of EN-
mitsburg and Baseball" Editor Gait
says:
IF for no other, reason than to redeem
it's reputation for good ball playing En-
mitsburg should make unusual efforts to
organize fast nine this year. Two
years ago the local aggregation had their
minds on the game, they practiced, they
hung together, they played the real arti-
Gle, with the result that when the season
closed there were twenty-five winning
games to the credit of the home club and
only two scored against it. Last year
we'll, let that pass with the recorded fact
that results could have been different.
"There is plenty Of baseball material
here, and there are also lots of fans
who stand ready to get behind a live
nine. All that is necessary, then, 10 or
ganization. Just as soon as the material
gets together and shows the public that
it is willing and anxious to make good
to really represent Emmitsburg on the
diamond the people of this sport-loving
community will turn out in force and
loyalty and literally support the home
team.
"It is up to the players to make the
first move"
According to the following communica-
ton which was handed US, it looks as
though Thurmont would be without
baseball team this season. The letter
comes as report of meeting held last
Friday evening in the interest Of base
ball, and says:
Thurmont Holds Baseball Meeting.
Eight members and the manager OF
last years baseball club held meeting
the evening of March 3lst to consider
rganizlng club to represent Thurmont
"a the diamond during the season of 1916.
after lengthy discussion they de-
cided that owing to the fact that there
was not an amateur club within radius
of twenty miles that was strong enough
to justify their going in training and as
it would be quite expensive to bring clubs
of their class here they abandoned the
idea.
1T is great pity there is not one
strong club in this section of Maryland
to make it worth while for our club to
organize and practice; but such is the
case, and to bother with the same sched-
ule as the team did last year would be
hugh joke, hence the decision.
1T is we'll known fact that Thurmont
for it's size and number of players avail
able has the strongest team in the state
and it is with the utmost regret that we
see them step aside for the younger
generation.

The play possesses all the essential ele-

when romantic elopements to Gretna
Green, a lovers haven in the North OF
Scotland, added a dash of excitement to
many true love-matches, when hearts
reigned over the marts of commerce,
just before the prose of business usurped
