THE iNcoNSIDERATE BEHAVIOR
OF a CANDIDATE.

Why does Mr.. Hughes insist upon
talking about that old-fashioncd. not
90 say "lniqultous." doctrine, the pro-
tective tariff? For nearly the whole
period of It's Industrial existence the
United States struggled along under
protection. The Democratic party In
1913 came TO the relief OF nm afflicted
and burdcned people
The Republican Administration (not
on account of the tariff, II is truc)
was overthrown. Before taking over
the relns of government, and for many
years prior TO thai time, countless
Democratic statesmen had vninly tried
to persuade the American people that
the protective tariff was nm lniqulty,
vcrltable contrlvnncc of devils. II
fostered the trusts, aud II was nm ele-
vator Of prices even to the thirty-sev-
enth story and the tower. They prom
iSed relief, The poor should hc no
longer oppressed the cost of living
should be reduccd-must be. ms the
sure result of tariff for revenue
protective only In spots, such ms the
Louisiana sugar mills and the Carolina
cotton factories.
Doesn't Mr.. Hughes know what the
Administration did which he Is now
nttacklngT lie ought to know. The
Democrats, under the leadership Of
Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Underwood. re-
pealCd hat iniquity and abomination,

ter mother of trusts and high prices

"a cycgy head of n family In America

been dissolved and that the cost Of
living Is higher than ever. that the
price OF everything has reached nm un-
henrd-of hcight-but what of III
What of It, indeed? While Il is
true that n protective tariif never fail

war In Europe has upset the plans of
the present low.tariff administration
considerably. Also II forms nm excel

Now, the obvious thing for Mr..
Hughes 10 do IL to give the Demo

straight. Never mind the patient: let

IL over according 10 the Democratic
version. In other words the tariff

disturbance, Mr.. Hughes?
Besides, when You discuss n little
thing like the tariff, do you not know

statesmen of the Democratic family

that you are ''pcttIfoggng" &C Charles

for such occasions but this vast sum

lawns are getting green and the farm
ers and gardeners and landscape artists
are hard at work. Stress is now being
laid on the liberalization of crops
and discouraging the raising of
cotton. for the supply is greater than
the demand and there is not enough
grain and other cereals to meet the

growing by leaps and bounds, make it

great conventions of all descrip-
tions. The business men guarantee
anything they want, and that means
anything that will advertise and enrich
Dallas. For instance, the Boston Grand
Opera company has just pulled off
stunt here costing the people $40, 900
for admission for three entertainments.
The ~ company was to have the
first SIS, 600 thus netting the city, 81, 900
profit, to be US ed for band playing
in the parks, etc. A spring style show
this week costing thousands of dollars,
with its great street parades and re"
markable window shows and living
models in the great department stores,
and every sort of entertainment, both
dress and no dress, calling the merch-
thents and traders from all over
state, has brought hundreds of thou
sands of dollars to its Golfers. The
great religious bodies are holding con-
ventions preparative to great evangel-
izing effort. So one can hear the
bishops and great men of the churches
and they are heard, for while the grand
opera and style show were blocking
the streets and calling the multitude,
the great churches were full. Every
department of public enterprise is in
full swing daily and nightly,
murders and accidents galore
