FIGHTING THE ENEMY

1t must be a great satisfaction Ia
the ,arge number OF persons enlisted
in the fight against tuberculosis TO
know that they are steadily gaining
on the enemy. The latest census re-
ports show that in ten years the
deaths from that scourge fell off 25
per cent.
Fro mthese statistics il appears that
IN 1901, the death rate from this dis.
ease was 200.7 per 100000 persons
and that in 1914, it was 1868 per 100.
300. 1t appears further that the
death rate from tuberculosis *
dwindling faster than the rate from
all other diseases.
These are good things to know and
TO keep in mind when. as during the
holidays, great canvass under the
Red Cross is made for funds with
which TO maintain and increase the
fury offthe battle against this deadly
foe. II is the deserved thought Of all
who contributed in the Red Cross
movement that their pennies and
more have helped reduce the numbers
o. deaths. have helped in keeping
families together. in shunting sorrow
from the household and bringing
cheer in its place.

Gals now are hopeful that the pres

will find the Treasury with surplus
AT the close of the fiscal year 1915
there was a deficit of about $4,000,

Ordinary internal revenue receipts
up to date this year amount to about

about 1928 100000 for the same per
iod in 1915. With about tire and one

creased by possibly $4,000 900 more
Customs receipts are running behind
those of 1915, the difference againsr

WAR AND THE TARIFF.

That the customs revenues have
fallen off thirty-three and olH-third
per cent since the passage of the I'm
derwood bill was shown by Represen-
tative Slemp, as set forth in the fig
ures of the Democratic treasury Off
t:ials. During the fiscal year 1915, a
full war year, the value of imports
fell off only one and one-half per
cent as compared with 1912. but the
customs revenues fell off thirty-nine
per cent.
Analysing the Democratic free list,
Mr. Slemp showed that it alone had
occasioned the government a loss dur

lowered amounted to $l6,000,0G0. a
total of H105 100000 That is. had

been collected on the actual imports
OF the year 1915 the customs reve-
nues would nave been increased by
$105, 100000
Taking the month of Janla
1916, Mr.. Slemp showed that the i'm
ports were the largest of any Janu-
AIRY in the history OF the country
amounting to SIS! $4,000, but the
duties collected amounted TO only
$15,540, 600; whereas in January

KILLED WITH AMERICAN RIFLES

The civilians and soldiers who
were killed in Columbus were shot
with American rifles, according to
Major c. e. Gillette, United States

used by Villas men to kill Americans
in Columbus were furnished by Pres
ident Wilson to Villa. against

1.-THE responsibility for the latest
Mexican outrage, like all that have
preceded it, rests squarely on the
shoulders of President Wilson. Had
he not deliberately wrecked the
Huerta government peace would
have followed within three months
after Mr. Wilson took office and all
horrors that have followed would
have been avoided
Many men familiar with conditions
in Mexico and acquainted with the
character of Villa and Carranza long
ago begged the president, not only
co enforce the embargo on arms going
into Mexico, but. after outrages on
Americans in that country became
common to demand immediate in
demnity and declare a peaceful
blockade" of Mexican ports until it
was paid. England, Germany and
France, it will be recalled, declared
such blockade of Venezuela. after
demanding an indemnity of Castro
In that case it was dissolved as a
result of arbitration. Had Mr.. Will
son ordered such a blockade of Mex
leo, no American soldier need have
invaded Mexican territory but all
arms and ammunition could have
been kept out and long before this
there would not have been a cartridge
and hardly rifle in Mexico. But in
stead. Mr.. Wilson lifted the embar
go on arms from the United States
and encouraged American manufac-
turers to fill the orders of the revo-

Merits.

The lntelligencer, yesterday, car
ried the formal announcement of the
Hon. ]. W. Hartman, of Parsons, Tuck
err county, as a candidate for the con-
gressional nomination in the Second
district. Mr. Hartman is exceptional
ly qualified for congressional ca
reer in regard to ability and his I'M
swerving loyalty to his party. AS a
lawyer he stands high in his profess
sion and is in touch with the progress
sive constructive spirit of the times
In the statement addressed to the
voters of his district, Mr.. Hartman
makes some very sensible and con-
seryative observations on the politi-
cal questions of the hour, especially
with reference to the preparations
necessary for the adequate defense
of the country against the aggressions
OF any foreign foe. Most important
of all, however, is his avowal of his
belief in that vital Republican princi-
pie, protection. If nominated and
elected he pledges his untiring efforts
toward restoration of the, Republi-
can tariff policy, which will mean
so much to the Second district CON
stituency in the development of its
industrial interests. retarded by the
free trade policy of the Democratic
party.-Wheeling Intelligencer
