Newsdealer Refuses to

that he refuses to sell filth to the
public

SONGS AB0UTREAL PEOPLE
"Annie Laurie" Actually Lived Near
Marvellous Bonnie Braes.

Few of us ever think OF the Annie
Laurie of the famous old song as a
real person. But she was a girl who
lived in Dumfries, Scotland, which is
near MaXwelton. She was born about
1852 and when she died she was buried
in Dunscore churchyard.
This real Annie Laurie had a sweet
heart. Mr.. Douglas, who wrote a song
about her. The words of the song he
wrote were not as beautiful as those
we think of in connection with her.
The song with which we are familiar
was written from Douglas song about
seventy years ago by Lady John Scott,
a men. ber of one of the great families
in Great Britain.
In one of the institutions in Dunn
fries today there is the last will and
testament" of Annie Laurie. And the
churchyard where she is buried is Of
ten spoken of by Carlyle in his letters,
for he was of that same neigh hborhood.

morning ana commenced blowing for

Presently the minister came along
and, going up to MacDougall with the
intention of severely reprimanding
him. asked in a very harsh voice,
"MacDougall, do you know the Ten
Commandments?
MacDoughall scratched his chin fol

an Illuminating answer.

CHINA'S GREAT NEED
A National Tongue Would Aid In Max
ing II Homogeneous. United People.
(From the indianapolis News.)

(FrOm the Indianapolis NeWS.)
Ouan Shih-k'ai. late President of
China, once expressed regret that his
country had not the advantage of Il
unified language. He was contrasting
American achievements with possibili-
ties to be hoped for among the Chi
nese people. = nation bound together
by common language is more harmo-
nious, more capable of acting in COM
mon, for offense or defense. than one
which has various dialects.
The ordinary Chinese printing office
uses about 5000 characters. A COM
plete Chinese dictionary may contain
$4,000. Chinese as spoken in the re-
mote provinces differs from the Chinese
of the capital and treaty ports. and
this variation, even though slight in
many instances. has operated to pre-
vent the dissemination of political
thought, has been an obstruction to
commerce, and has hampered the ma
tives socially. This problem, though
in less complicated form, has pre-
sented itself to many nations. 1t in
terfered with the administration of law
in Assyria and Egypt. 1t was an intel
lectual problem among the Greek pos
sessions and political burden in
Rome.
The value of a national language has
been universally recognized and many
periods of persecution have resulted
from attempts to compel its use. The
Prussian Government pressed the use
of German on the French population of
Alsace and Lorraine. In Poland the ma
tives have been oppressed by the Rus
SLAMS at various times for preferring
their own tongue; so. too, with Fin
land.
While it is the English tongue which
knits together politically the British
empire there are many local dialects.
In this country we fail to appreviate
the tremendous advantage which one
tongue, voluntarily spoken, gives to US
politically, socially, morally and COM
mercially.

DEMOCRATS HEAR THE TRUTH.


WE think that most Doiawareans will agree that
w seldom has the Democratic majority in the
House been compelled to listen 10 so much plain, un-
vanished truth regarding a fundamental policy of
their party been defenseless against Republican
logic as when, Thursday. the House voted. S46 to
a. TO repeal the free sugar clause Of the Underwood
tariff bill For the part the Democrats com
PEELED remain squrming in their seats occupy
the time allotted them debate with general discus
sion OF irrelevant subjects The Democratic contention
that the Treasury dehcit due to the European war
proved TO be wholly groundess by the Republi-
cans. while the injustice of tax Of cent pound
il the Democratic contention that the con-
sumer pays this tax, be accepted, was also driven
home
That the customs revenues have fallen of 80 l-S
per cent. since the passage Of the Underwood bill was
shown by Representative siemp, set forth in the
figures OF the Democratic Treasury officials. During
the fiscal year 1915, a full year, the value OF
imports fell off only ~ per cent, compared with
1912, but the customs revenues fell Of 80 per cent
Analyzing the Democratic free list Mr.. Slemp show
ed that had occasioned the government loss
during 1915 OF s692OOOOO; that the loss of duties
where the rates were lowered amounted to SS6OOO-
OOO total Of S1O5,2OO0OO That is had the duties inn
posed by the Payne bill been collected the actual
imports Of the year 1915 the customs would
have been increased by S1O52OOOOO
Taking the month Of January. 1916, Mr. semp show
ed that the imports were the largest OF any Jauay
in the history Of the country, amounting to s1S4192-
OOO but the duties collected amounted to only S15-
$4,000 whereas. in January, 1913, the imports
amounted to only S129OOOOOO and yet the duties col
lected thereon amounted TO $29,OOo'OOO. Had the
Payne bill been in force the customs receipts for jan
uary would have amounted TO S3124OOOO or praet-
cally Soube those collected under the Underwood bill
Mr. semp showed further that at the least calculation
the Underwood bill is costing the government loss
Of si4OOO0OO a month"; that multiplied by y this
would give loss OF $6SOOO0O0 year, at the present
war time rate Of importation that this amount II
collected would be sufficient to meet the Presidents
balance Of S7OO00OOO which would warrant the repeal
Of the Democratic war tax mposed-not because
there is war, but because the Underwood tariff bill
is "a failure.
The repeal Of The free sugar clause OF the Under

tariff revenue because that clause would not into

that each county should have the same

The results OF the enactment OF

Such attempts must invariably prove
boomerangs. One cannot tap a whirl-
ing buzz saw with a wand and hope to
escape painful consequences.
Instead OF beneiiting American sea-
men. If we properly interpret Mr. An
drew Furuseth's complaint. the sea-
mems law has actually deprived many
OF them Of employment which they
might otherwise have had The en-
forcement of the language clause (Mr.
Furuseth calls il the non-enfOrce-
menD seems to have cut the wrong
way. increasing rather than diminish
ing the percentage of Orientals in
crews. This clause was designed OF
course, TO discourage the employment
Of other than American or. at all
events, English-speaking seamen. But
had it been interpreted to effect this
object especially under present con-
ditions, the much greater injury to
every one concerned would have
brought about the laws repeal.

country may have to use an army to
do. Our whole military system has to
