1t will be recalled that this paper,

vanced the..idea of tax on munitions
of war. To the best Of our knowledge
up that time we had never heard Of
Kenyon or any other legislator advan'

from insinuating that Kenyon COPIED

Warning High Protectionists.

Sioux City Tribune: Jacob Schiff,
one of New York's and the nations
most prominent bankers and a repub-
lican of so years unbroken record,
serves notice on the republican party
that, if it attempts to revive the issue
of high tariff in the coming campaign
it will meet with overwhelming defeat.
At luncheon given at the Manhat-
tan Republican club, New York, last
Saturday, attended by such republican
war horses as Chauncey M. Depew, for
mer Governor Odell, and George E.
Roberts, former director of the mint.
Mr.. Schif made talk that fairly took
the breath of his audience. He said,
speaking of the approaching campaign:
Nothing can stop the great wave of
prosperity now rolling over the coun-
try, except renewal of the tariff agi-
tation. If the country is again threat
ened with tariff agitation then its pros
perity will be endangered.

you will find that the people will have
none of it. The farmers, artisans, the
business men and laborers will no long
er be deceived by that cry. l know
l have not elated you by this speech,
but am nothing if not frank
To add the discomforture of those
present, VIM. l.. Saunders, president
of the new s5,OOO,OOO corporation that
has been organized to promote United
States industry, and commerce in other
lands, heartily endorsed Mr.. Schiff's
words and said it would be impossible
to become world power commercially
by the imposition Of needlessly high
tariffs that will invite commercial re-
prisals.

Weekly Trade Review.

New York, Jan. 31.-Bradstreet S:
mild weather in some sections and
storms in others have checked retail
trade, but in every other respect, move
ments continue at a smart pace-smar-
ter than heretofore in January-in fact,
and in the larger aspects, practically
all reports are stamped with evidence
of uniform activity. Jobbers are busy
making spring shipments, house as we'll
as road sales show gains, buyers of
dry goods are out in large numbers
seeking quantities that they connot get
in all cases, due to the dyestuff short
age; some consumers of steel seem will
ling to commit themselves as far a
head as 1917, mail order houses say
trade is very heavy, the old story of
manufacturers being rushed to capac.
ity is increasingly emphasized, labor Il
becoming scarcer, wages continues to
advance, money is easy, collections are
good, banks are filled with funds, bank
clearings heavily exceed those of one
and two years ago, wheat speculation
is the heaviest known, interest in real
estate is reviving the country over,
building, which suffered relatively lit
tie check this winter, promises to be
very active during the coming spring
and fresh industrial developments and
additions to existing plants suggest

Recent Mexican developments have
given the Heorst papers a fresh at
tack of rabies. The administration
policy is branded as everything that
can be construed as asinine. When
it is remembered that part of the
Hearst fortune is represented in mines
in the republic to the south of us, it is
not difficult to understand the animus
hack of the attacks. Mr.. Hearst is
strongly in favor of the United States

Steering the Course" in Mexico.

Steering the Course" in Mexico.
Will the jingoes in congress and out
of it succeed in forcing the government
to send an army of invasion into Next
co? The person in the world most de-
sirous of such a proceeding is the ban
dit and murderer, Villa Of Mexico.
Villa would like to destroy Carranza
and prevent him from establishing
peace in Mexico. He would like to be-
come the head of an army again oper-
ating against foreign foe.
| The assassination of a score of Amer
leans is a serious thing. Something
will have to be done about it. Carran-
"a has promised to do all he can. The
people of this country have not much
confidence in Carranza up to date, but
realize fully the job he has on hand. 1t
is but few months since he was rec
ognized as the head of the govern
ment. He has not yet cleaned up the
bandit crowds operating among the
mountains. We have but to look upon
our own attempts to clean up the red
man to know that the task is difficult.
He fought in much the same way the
Villa fellows are fighting now. He was
elusive. He murdered, he destroyed
and looted. And then there was that
other period in our history when out
laws operated in the west. They loot
ed and they killed. They escaped the
vigilant authorities. Finally they were
rounded up; finally they were out-num-
bered by peaceable citizens who made
warfare upon them. But it took
long time to hunt them down and to
break up the outlaw bands. Villa and
his followers are much more blood
thirsty-they are near approach to
savages- they lurk about in mountain
Businesses and sweep down upon the
weak when the coast is clear.
For these reasons the public will bear
with Wilson while the politicians who
are seeking party advantages are try
ing to defile him. If it were the Car
rama soldiery that killed the score of
Americans, instead of the outlaws who
are still hiding out, there would be
provocation for extreme measures, per-
haps. But, Carranza is not response
BILE and the right thinking public will
not hold the government of Mexico re-
sponsible at this time for what has
happened in Mexico. The right think
ing Americans do not expect that Car
rama could clean up his country of the
bands of murderers in a month or two.
The government of Mexico is as deep
ly interested in running down and pun
ishing the murderers as is the govern
ment of the United States-even more
so.
Rattle-brained publicists and selfish |
politicians may with all their might en-
deavor to excite this nation tn the
cause Of Intervention somewhere, or to
war somewhere, but the nation does
not become excited. The nation is
calm. The nation knows Carranza has
not full control of Mexico and expects
that it may be long time before he is
sufficiently powerful to command re-
spect for law and order in a country
that is noted for lawlessness.
President Wilson, through it all, is
the course calmly and he has
not wrecked ship yet. Waterloo

An Unfounded Complaint.

An Unf0unded Complaint.
''The National Boot & Shoe Manu-
facturers' association, in convention ir
New York issues doleful story OF
hard luck, which, in it's opinion can be
changed only by two remedies. The
immediate remedy is to make another
advance in the cost of shoes averaging
about so cents a pair. This the mem
bers have within their power to apply,
and there is not much doubt of their
doing it.
''The second remedy says the
Sioux City Tribune, sis the restora-
ton of such tariff on shoes as will
cover the wage differential of the
American over the foreign workman.
This, of course, they would obtain by a
return to the high tariff system.
Gas to just how much the boot and
shoe manufacturers were being injured
under world wide normal conditions by
the low tariff may be judged from the
fact that in the 10 months prior to the
outbreak of the war, the imports of
boots and shoes amounted to only $4l8, :
600, while the exports reached the sum
of $13, 100000. This is conclusive
proof the industry was not being ruin
ed by the importation of goods made
by cheaper foreign workmen. Since
the war the exports have more than
doubled; they now are about $32, OOO,-
600 q year, while the imports have
dwindled to the negligible quantity of
only 1892, 600.
eff there has been any authentic re-
port made upon the wages of boot and
shoe employees abroad, the Tribune is
unable to say. But there has been an
accurate accounting made of the boot
and shoe industry in the United States
by the department of labor. This
shows that the labor cost of that in
dustry has steadily decreased from ISL
per cent in 1879 to 10 per cont at pres
ent.
''In other words, the wages paid to
boot and shoe employees equal only 10
per cent of the value of the finished
products they produce. The tariff
which the manufacturers would have
restored was 15 per cent ad valorem-
or Is per cent on the value of the i'm
ported products. If this Is per cent is
necessary in order to cover up wage
differential of the American over the
foreign workman. < it means that the
foreign workman's wages represent
only per cent of the value of the
goods he produces, or wage scale be-
tween one fourth and one-fifth that of
the American boot and shoe employees.
This is preposterous on its face, and in
the proof of its absurdity is the fact
that the average weekly wage of
American boot and shoe employees is
only 1854.
ut is safe to assert, both from
these figures and from the ridiculous
small amount of boot and shoe imports
prior to the war, that any differential
between American and European wages
(if there is any is more than taken up
by the cost to the European manufac-
turer of transporting his goods across
the ocean and finding market for
them"
'In short, the plant of the Ameri-
can boot and shoe manufacturers is not
based on facts. Their clamor for
higher tariff as essential to their pros
perity and their maintenance of
American" wages is deliberate at
tempt to deceive the public into &C
quiescing in system that will enable
the manufacturers to mulct the con-
sumer."

PROGRESSIVE VOTE ASPECT

Immediately following the Maine election, say the Sacramento,
Union, thu Republicans declared that the vote in the Pine Tree state DEM
onstrated that he Progreisives had returned generally to the Republican
fold and that the election of Hughes was assured by that fact.
When the complete vote was in, the Union, after an examination OF
the returns and a comparison with the vote of the last presidential cleo
ton which showed that a little more than Is per eel of the Progressves
had joined with the Democrats and that the Republican plurality was
much below normal, reached the conclusion that if the same percentage
OF the Progressive vote should go to Wilson throughout the country he
would surely win.
Although the returns are far from complete n the country a a whole,
it is now certain that a little more than onethrd of the Progressives fol-
lowed real progressive principles and voted for Wilson and elected him.
The thing that was not foresccn and the thing that caused the Re-
publcans to claim the election when half dozen of he big states fell into
the Hughes column early in the count was the peculiar split in the Pro-
gressive vote.
In some states the Progressives went back almost in a body to the
Republican party. New York, Illinois, New Jersey and possibly Massa-
chusetts might be cited as instances of this.
In other states the Progressive vote went to Wilson. This was
particularly true in the west, and o we find Washington. Wyoming,
North Dakota and finally California in the Wilson column.
The states which were genuinely progressive disregarded party lines
and followed Wilson regardless OF former leanings. 1t is true that FOCAL
conditions in several states had n important bearing on the vote and
possibly determined the result of the election. This will always be al
mooted question.
But whatever the cause, there is no possible doubt that the Progress
sie vote decided the election in favor of President Wilson and rue prog
res.

so EASY

So easy to say what another should do,
So easy to settle his cares,
SO easy to tell what road to pursue,
And dispose of the burdens he bears;
1t is easy to bid him be brave and strong,
And to make all his shortcomings known,
But, OH, it's so hard when the care and wrong
And the dangers we face ire Our own.
1t is easy to stand in another mans place
When our comforts of life are assured,
And the sting of the rain beating sharp in his face
By him must be bravely endured;
1t is easy to tell him the path he should take
And to bid him to laugh at his care,
But, oh, it's 81 hard when it's our hearts that ache
And we have the burdens to bear.
The need of another it's easy to see,
When our own wants n all satisfied,
And bold and courageous it's easy to be
When it isn't our souls that n tried;
But, oh, it's so hard when we're stumbling along
To keep ourselves steadfast and true;
1t is easy to tell some II else to be strong;
It's easier to talk than to do.

THE JUDGMENT OF THE BORDER ,

Texas, New Mexico and Arizona border upon Mexico. 1t has been
the habit OF the fiery patriots OF the northern commercial centers, who
have ceaselessly urged a wr of revenge and conquest in that direction,
to represent the frontier states as frantic for aggression through to the

Gratis. Even the town of Columbus, which a raided by Villa last spring

When it comes to real, downright crust, the Bachelors of the Garden City have it. Barometric pressure readings reveal the fact that this crust is at least foot thick. The latest planned by the Brotherhood of men Is the staging of a dance this coming Friday night in the White Pass Club Hall.
 When an Alaskan reporter ap- preached some of the most bachy of ali the bachelors in this city they sealed up tight as a clam and would have nothing to say further than 1t was to be a real live time and that it would be the hit Of the sea- son. They even tntimated that some of the men who wear the ear marks of married existence had for sakeu the ranks and asked for a bid to the Bachelordom. 1t is hint Id that no married men will be all lowed. Now isn't that just the linn it? An appeal will be made to the boys for them to let down, the bars and let every one enjoy the good time.
