STILL ANOTHER CARLOAD

Owing to the fact that we are Civ
ing all those who do business with
us their moneys worth, we are now
in position to state that we are
yet taking orders for third carload
of monuments which we will have in
place before the winter begins. We
do not feel that it is necessary TO ex-
plain why our monument business is
growing rapidly. The fact that we
buy in carload lots and look carefully
after the wants of our customers is
enough to say in the way of expla-
nation. We desire to remind all who
may have overlooked ordering mon.
ument that you can yet place your
order with us and have the monu.
ments in place before winter.

SUGAR

SO Tor revenue only the party IN
power has decided TO indefinitely
continue the tariff on sugar Exact
ly. But what are tariffs generally
for? Had the country been able to
run itself there would never have
been any tarliI.
II was adopted because the masses
OF the people will pay u tarin tax In
preference to any other, and the Re.
publican party. inherltlng the idea
from the old wings. have believed
that there should be distinction
made In leyying a tarin between In
dustrles that need no help and 9TH
or industries that have not yet
reached that stage.
Thus when the Underwood bill was
under discussion. II was explained
that with sugar on the free list, II
would place American beet and cane
sugar making In direct competition
with the more than half-naked semi
Ierfs OF Cuba. and with the double
result OF running the industry on this
side. causing a vast loss OF invested
capital, take the wages from very
many Americans. and make II neces-
iary to send abroad many millions OF
dollars annually. But that availed
nothing then except to induce the ma
lority TO postpone for few months
The time on which the tarin on sugar
should cease to act.
But now that time Is indefinitely
postponed and the great war Is given
m the reason That and the large
sums needed for preparedness. The
ruth is there has been a steadily in
'reasing deficit. which began long be-
ore the war did and which the rev.
,nue from the new income tax could
not begin TO make up. II is almost
srotesque to think OF the fix the Dem
jcraoy would have been in now ex-
'ept for that most terrible war.
We have no doubt that the Demo
rats grieye exceedingly over the suf-
ierings caused by that war. but neith-
IT do we suspect that they fail TO
note what a God-send II has been TO
their party. II enables their party to |
cover up much that they have done
which they now earnestly desire TO
keep concealed until after November,
and has opened for them. II they man
age well, an almost appalling cam
paign fund for this year. to be used
where 1t will do most good, They
may through II cause the people TO
forget that the seventeen year locust
Is not generally expected oftener
ihan once In seventeen years.
Il is with political parties some
times. as II is with men-"It is bet
Ter to be born lucky than rich"
Still, when the ex-Confederate con-
was solemnly resurrected.
and restored, It was not
sufficiently sterilized TO do away with

wore overalls and drove his wagon in

rested snugly in the garage. He owns
one of the most valuable farms in

sire. His simple word is as good as
his check, and his check would be
honored for a sum that might stagger
