can get rid of it. If somebody offers you a cut in
price, because you are "infuential' or a friend of
his" you better investigate the real reason. With
out exception, you will find, sooner or later, there's
"a niger in the woodpile."
f the price is higher, weigh carefully whether you
would be getting value for the difference-if indeed
you would be getting as much. We know you
wouldn't-but you are the one to be satisfied on
this. What We know or think will not do us or
you any good until you too, are sure Of it. So we
want you to "stand EN- side by side' and ask your

REPUBLICANS DECLARE FOR
STRONG NATIONAL DEFENSE
And POSTAL SERVICE REFORM

protection Of the lives and property
Of our citizens as guaranteed by ox-
listing treaties.
The Tariil Issue.
The Republican party has never
wavered IN its support of the policy
or protection 10 American industries
and American labor. and TO this end
it created by the act OF 1903 non
partisan tariff commission charged
with the duty Of furnishing Congress
with reliable information and sta
tistics so that tariff legislation could
be enacted which would provide the
government with ample revenue and
would protect American industries
and give the assurance Of employ
ment TO American workmen. We de-
nOunce the distinction of this COM
mission by the Democratic party as
a piece OF contemplate partisanshlp
which has mutilated against the best
interests Of the country.
The Democratic tarin. known as
the Underwood tariff. has proved a
complete failure. even as a revenue
measure. and we call upon the Re
publcans I'm Congress to place them
selves uneQuivocally in favor OF the
enactment Of new tariff measure in
line with the Republican policy OF
protection TO American industries.
Although the war has postponed
temporarily many of the pornicious
effects OF the Democratic tariff. the
claim that the great European con-
ilict is responsible for the failure Of
the Underwood act to produce the
necessary revenue for the expenses
of the government is misleading. The
value of imports for the first nine
months Of 1913 was Sl.327 900 600.
and the revenue collected was S242.-
$4,000 For the corresponding per-
iOd of 1915. under war conditions. the
value OF imports was reduced TO ST.
3O2 100000. or $2500O.0OO less than
in 1913. The revenue received, how
ever. was only S14S.225. 200. or S94.-
$4,000 less than in 1913. thus demon
strating clearly that while the value
of goods imported into tho United
States decreased about 10 per cent,
the duties decreased 3S.S per cent. a

 In the meantime the housewife places the blame for high priceS on her butcher, the butcher planes the wholesaler, and the packer planes conditions on the cattle raiser.
 Packers statistics show that they make from $2.25 to $2.50 on every beef and from 40 to fl cents on every hog that they handle. With increased cost of labor the high prices for every thing that enters into operation ex- penses, they contend that the present prices which they exact from the re- taller are not exorbitant.
 It is understood that the packer, who is in realty the salesman for the producer, figures that a dressed beef weighs 55 per cent. as much as the entire carcass. He looks to the dispo- sition of the remainder-hides hoofs and other by-products-for the great CT part of his profits. Thus if the de-

MANY REVERSALS
 IN BIG LEAGUES
Considerable Variance in 1915 Figures Compared With Present

New York, May 24-A number of notable changes are apparent in the playing form of the major league clubs at the close of the first month of the pennant season when the records are compared with those of a year ago. This is particularly true of the batting averages of the teams as we'll as the speed on the bases. Some allow ance must be made for the fact that the indictment weather of the present spring has been the cause of more postponed games than was the case in 1915. This feature, however, is not sufficient to account for the radical changes in the standing of a number of clubs as are shown by the accom- panying figures.
 In the National league the Brooklyn club is leading the senior association with a. batting average of .267 whereas 8 year ago the Superbas were seventh with PAS Chicago, which was first twelve months ago, is at present in fifth place with .249 which is about twenty points lower than in 1915. The Cubs also show a falling off in stolen bases for they pilfered less than a third of the number that they regis tered in the same period a year ago. If the figures for the present season can be relied upon there has been con- siderably less activity on the base lines to date than was the case last season for the league average in stolen bases in 1915 was 34 to 21 for the first month of this years race play.
 Among the American league clubs, Washington has shown the greatest improvement The Nationals are hold ing second place in team batting with .244 while a year ago they were last with 211. The Philadelphia Athletics batting .249 in 1915 are last at pres ent with .216. Cleveland, although we'll up in the league, is nine points below the figures which gave her fourth place at this time last Spring. There is not the marked difference Tn the league average for stolen bases that is apparent in the National league for the records of 1915 show 1 that the eight clubs had averaged 29 i stolen bases last season to 25 for | the first month Of the present race. !

ROOSEVELT'S BOOM
 GROWING STRONGER
Meyer Says Many Recruits Are
 Joining Every Day

New York, May 24.-The national republican Roosevelt committee is making rapid headway, according to George Von L. Meyer, who was secre tary of the navy in the last Roosevelt administration and is chairman of the new republican organization tc boom the colonel for the presidential nom ination. About four hundred new members, it was said, have been added to it's rolls since headquarters were opened at the Hotel Biltmore on Mon- day.
 The next move, according to eX-Sen- ator Meyer, will be to establish organ izations in every state in the union Of republicans who voted for William II Taft in 1912, but are anxious to sec Colonel Roosevelt the republican nom inee this year.
 According to Captain Arthur T. Cos by, who is in active charge at the headquarters of the Roosevelt commit tee, such organizations are already under way in twenty states, and oth- CTS will be started immeuIa,el.
 bust republican Roosevelt nloven, will be, launched in Massa chusetts t, day.
 'The remarkable thing" said (: Secretary Meyer" is the spontanei+y with which people have responded. Men whom I have met in the street grasp my hand and express their grat- lf1catlon at this new movement within the republican party to make Colonel Roosevelt the nominee. Scores of re- publ1cans who never thought they would find themselves in a position where they could support Colonel Roosevelt for anything have told me since the committee was organized that they will vote for the Colonel if they are given the opportunity because they regard him as the man who can best serve the country in this critical hour.'
 Ford Delegates Want Colonel.
 A notable addition to the republican Roosevelt ranks was found yesterday in ex-MayOr Seth Low, who came out unqualifiediy for the colonel Two of the republican delegates to the nation al convention from Michigan, both pledged to Ford, announced in a com nunication to the Roosevelt commit tee that they favored the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt rather than that Of the pacifist.
