A MOMAN,S VIEW

1t is doubtful if any man has ex-
planned his reasons for supporting
Mr.. Hughes with such clear, convinc-
ing logic as characteriZeS the state
ment of Mrs. Nelson O'Shaughnessy,
whose husband was Acting American
Ambassador to Mexico during and for
some time before the seizure of Vera
Cruz. Mrs. O'Shaughnessy says, Il
am for Hughes because with~my own
eyes / have seen the destruction of a
nation; with my own ears / have
heard the cries of that bleeding, ag-
oniZed remnant of what three years
ago was the Mexican people; have
seen, under the auspices of the Dem
ocratic administration, organized
government destroyed in a sovereign
state-whose greatest misfortune at
this time is to be our neighbor. |
have seen authority destroyed as GER
tainly as if we had taken the machin-
cry of administration into u physl-
cal hands and broken it. And in re-
gard to all this / have seen installed
an organized campaign of m%isrepre-
sentation where the wrongs of this
sister nation are concerned-whereby
the cries of the people have been
stihed, their agonies concealed, their
rights-their human rights-tram-
pied to earth. l have seen the house
of God profaned. the ministers OF
Christ cast into ignominy. holy wo-
men defiled. And last, but not least
l have seen our citizens, whose rights
to protection there is as indisputable
as that of the sons of England, Ger
many, France, Spain, Japan, despoil-
ed of the fruits of honest labor. Our
women have been outraged, u chill
dren tortured, III men left to lie in
their blood. Now. with the help oil
God, and confiding in the underlying
greatness of our nation, l hope for
the v~indication of our honor where
other nations are concerned-and the
performance of u duty where ouI
own people are concerned. l am fol-
Hughes-because l believe a man has
arisen who, as Chief Executive, will
safeguard III most precious posses
sion on land and sea-at home and
abroad-our national honor"

tober, 1915, to July, 1916, it was $1.45
per bushel.
Who got the benefit? Argentina and
Canada. About rs per cent of our i'm
ports of faxseed during the 1876
period came from Argentina, and
nearly 25 per cent from Canada.
Finding that the reduction of duties
had discouraged American produc-
ton, they simply raised their prices.
In this connection it is important
to note that our manufacturers OF
linseed oil were interested in having
a protective rate of duty on f1axseed,
or linseed, as they call it, so the
Democrats had no excuse on that
score. One manufacturer said to the
ways and means committee: present
duty on linseed should be maintained
consequently the present duty on
oil) for the purpose of giving all pos
sibIe encouragement to our farmers
to raise this crop. The paint trade
varnish makers, linoleum manufactu-
rers and other interests affected, as
well as the linseed-oil crushers, have
during the past few years annually
raised a fund of thousands of dollars
to educate and to encourage our far
mers to make a success or this crop.
Did the Wilsonian economists help
along this enterprise? No, they sand
bagged it. Then they turned right
around and threw a brick at the lin
seed oil producers in the shape of a
80 per cent reduction on their COM
modify, and importations of linseed
oil jumped go per cent during h
first ten months operation OF the
Democratic tariff law, compared with
the similar period under the Repub-
lican rate. That was their idea oil
America first" Give us a Republi-
can House and Senate, and a Repub-
lican administration and protective
rates on both 1axseed and linseed oil
will be restored.

FLAySEED
@GROWN IN AMERICA

Flaxseed importations continue to
increase. Our imports of this COM
modify for the 10 months period Oc-
tober, 1915, to July, 1916, totaled
1888, 500 bushels, valued at $17,051,-
900. For the period October, 1913, to
July, 1914. our imports of faxseed
totaled 8,741.000 bushels valued at
$40. 1924. 900, compared with 3.022,00
bushels valued at s3,82S,0 900 for the
similar period, 1928, under the Re-
publican tariff law.
The growing of f1axseed is carried
on in Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Mime
sofa, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska,
North Dakota, South Dakota and Wis
consin. In 1912 the production was
2S,073. 900 bushels, with a farm value
of $32, ZOE. 900, or an average of $1.15
per bushel.
If anybody put in an appearance
before the ways and means commit
tee at the time the Wilson-Underwood
tariff murder was going on, the hear
ing fail to show that they were ac-
corded the privilege of testifying on
behalf of this American industry.
There seems to have been no valid
reason for making a 20 per cent re-
duction in the duty on this product,
unless it was because fiaxseed is
raised outside the southern states,
but the Democrats made that cut,
nevertheless. The present tariff law
took effect in October, 1913, but flax
seed growers already knew what to
expect, and the 1913 crop fell to less
than 5000, 900 bushels, farm value
$21,399,000. In other words, the cut
in duty resulted in domestic flaxseed
going up about 5 cents a bushel.
How did we benefit by way of a
decrease in the price of flaxseed i'm
ported from abroad? Very little. The
average import price for the ten
months, October, 1912, to July, 1913,
was $1.27 per bushel. For the same
period. 1~913-1914, under the Demo-
cratic rate, it was $1.25 per bushel.
But during the 10 months period, Oc-

War Upon Pain!

Pain is a visitor to every home

every emergency if you keep a small

1t is the greatest pain killer ever
discovered. Simply laid on the skin
no rubbing required-it drives
the pain away. 1t is really wonder

THE GOLDEN WEDDING

Written by Joseph E. Cluff, of Cen
tral, Febrary IL, 1916. for the Golden
Wedding of Mr.. and Mrs. James A.
Mcbride.
Where proud Ohio, grand and free,
Rolls out it's blue waters to the sea,
Was born boy, blue-eyed boy,
Who was his mothers pride and joy;
He was his fathers right-hand man,
Reared in Columbia S free broad land; :;
Fair was he, and filled with pride,
Our father, our protector, our dear,
James Mcbride.
Just see this youth, soyoung and tender,
Pushing along and doing his best,
Travelling through tractlesS prairie
To the mountains of the west;
Where coyotes are bowling,
Where savage Indians yell,
Facing perils of great danger,
Where the mountain streamlets swell.
In the valleys of the mountains,
We beheld the illustrious Star,
Uncle Jim, a willing Veteran,
Enlisted in the Black Hawk War;
About this time he met a maiden,
Lizzie Clark, charming Miss,
Captured her, this young brave soldier,
Asked her if she would enlist?
Without compulsion she enlisted,
Not as warrior, did she;
But, as bride, she joined the army,
Married February, eighteenth, eighteen
hundred and sixty-six,
From that time they have been march
ing,
Today it is just fifty years,
Sharing each others joys and pleasures,
Sharing each others grief and tears.
But today two hearts are happy,
Two hearts with rapture beat as one,
For around their dear old homestead,
Children tell what they have done;
Children dear, with happy faces,
Grandchildren sweet; Oh, see them
play.
United with Grandpa and Grandma
On this their Golden Wedding Day.
Fifty years of life together,
On life's journey they have trod,
Nearing now the goal of heaven,
In the presence of their God
Before the golden gate is opened,
This Golden Wedding they have en-
joyed,
Hand in hand their loves eternal,
Pure, sweet without alloy.
Now, papa, mamma, grandpa, grandma,
Listen, what we have to say,
We, who now are gathered around you,
On your Golden Wedding Day,
May you still be with us longer,
In this beautiful world of ours,
And in heaven may you gather
Us your pride, and prairie flowers.
