From the State Herald, pub
lished in Phoenix:
At a dinner given by t h e
Hughes club of Washington, D.
c., recently, Simon Wolf, one of
Washington's most substantial
citizens, said:
1t would have been we'll for
the present administration to
have profted by the policy pur-
sued by James G. Blaine as sec
rotary of state in the Garfield
administration. Mr.. Blaine sent
this message to our minister at
Mexico City:
Read this to the minister of
foreign affairs: Outrages on
American citizens must stop,
not next week, but now. And
if they do not. the entire power
of this government will be
brought to bear to stop them. ,"
The outrages stopped. Today.
under the chicken-livered policy
of the Great Vacillator, they
continue.
In the first ninety days of the
present fiscal year the Wilson
administration accumulated a
deficit of S49,5OO, 1000. They
spent $550.000 a day more than
they collected in revenue. Still
they defend their tariff law,
which cut off revenue at the
custom houses, and they deny
that they are extravagant.
Most of those thirty thousand
new federal jobs created during
the present administrator of
economy, retrenchment and re-
form are now filled by what
Ham Lewis calls true and loyal
sons of the south.

SOME POLITICAL SHOTS

Notwithstanding the fact that
Pres. Wilson was elected on a
platform containing a one-term
plank, the democratic spell
binders all tour in the country
in the interest of his second
election and shoutiag from the
housetops with a clamor that
was never heard in a campaign
before, claiming that every pro-
vision of their platform has been
fulfilled to the letter.
Evidently their memories are
short and do not span the term
of four years from one platform
to another. A glaring instance
is the repeal of the free tolls
law for American coastwise
ships thru the Panama canal,
which is a fair sample of nu-
merous platform failures.
They point with pride to the
enactment of a new currency
law; a federal loan law; child
labor law; a corrupt practices
law, and the creation of a tariff
commission with a few furbe-
lows and explanations of other
beneficial legislation that might
have passed if congress had not
adjourned.
To be sure the new currency
law is more elastic than the old
and may be an improvement but
it is only an experiment.
The federal loan law might be
a help to farmers in some sec
tions of the country but we
challenge anyone in Navajo
county to make a loan from the
government.
Each state in the union already
has some kind of a child labor
law, our local law being far
more comprehensive in every
detail.
The corrupt practices law is
only a makeshift for the repub-
Iican law the democrats repealed |
during Cleveland's time. The
tariff commission was first con-
ceived by Pres. Taft who formu-
ated the law and the democrats
are taking credit for it.
But they say nothing of the
arge deficit in the Federal treas
lry because of the failure of the
new tariff law to provide suffi-
cient revenue to run the govern
nent. And the money from the
war stamp tax has been
ost sight of in the shuttle of
he spellbinders to extoll the
virtues Of the presidents watch
ful waiting" peace policies.

Appeal to Community Loyalty.

It will not be long now until the holiday shopping will be in full swing, and before it opens we wish to have few words with our fellow citizens on the question of how and where this holiday money is to be spent.
 Are you going to patronize the mail order houses this year as perhaps many of you did last year? Or are you going to, If nec- essary, even make slight sacri- flee and stick to home F Ieople?
 Whence came the money that you are intending to send to that mail order concern? Did it come from the city in which that con cern is located? Not by long shot. If Nou are farmer 1t is the product of the soil. What soil? Why, the soil of your com munity. Now you, as a practical farmer, know full well the result of the ruinous practice of taking everything from your land and returning nothing to it. You know that this practice must sooner or later lmpoyerish your soil and destroy your source of income.
 Can't you realize that in send ing your money away from home you are doing to the community just what you would not think of
The Carlisle independent., 1916-12-07

period of twelve months every citizen of your town followed your example and did all his trading away from home? What condition would your town be in? Would there be a solvent mer- chant in it? Not one. What of your schools, your churches and all civilizing institutions of cur land? They might still survive if you bare all the expense-not otherwise.
 Think seriously of this thing, you patron of the mail order house. Realize that if you have the right to deprive your com munity of your money, all your neighbors have equal right then imagine the consequences.
 Don't be an ingrate! if you have dollar to spend, spend it at home. Thus it stays and works in the only spot on God S earth in which you are interest ed. Send it away and it is gone forever.-Berlin (Pa. Record.

doing to your farm-robbing it of it's productive power? You cer- tainly are. Every dollar sent away from your community robs it of just that much of it's power for good.
 But perhaps you are not a far mer, but mechanic, or trader. Then the responsibility rests even more heavily upon you to keep your money in the home channels of trade, because all of itcame from the hard earnings of your neighbors and friends, and you have no right to deprive the community of the good it can do if circulated therein.
