Ira landrith Quotes
Theodore Roosevelt

Des Moines, Ia, Oct. 6.-Necessity
of dry law enforcement was urged
upon Iowans today by Ira Landrith,
the prohibition vice presidential can
didate as the special dry train moved
eastward through the state.
Long, long ago. Landrith said
here, when Theodore Roosevelt was
yet in office and had not become a
noisome pestilential party scold, he
uttered the immortal truth. The
worst evil in any community is un-
enforced law Law enforcement is
not political issue. He who op-
poses the enforcement of law is not
politician--he is an anarchist"
]. F. Hanly, the presidential can
didate, confined himself to discussing
the national issue.

WAR TAX POLICY
New York Senator Says Meas
ure Supplanted Policy
of Protection.
EFFORT TO KEEP REVENUES

Beatrice, Neb.. Oct. 6.--(Special
Telegram.)-Senator Wadsworth OF
New York, addressed large crowd
this evening at the Paddock opera
house. He was introduced by Samuel
Rinaker. During his address the
speaker covered national issues en-
tirely, and urged the voters to cast
their ballots for the Hughes and
Fairbanks ticket on election day. He
saidln part:
Taxation is a necessary incident
in the maintenance of the government
which society erects to protect it
from the forces acting from within OF
without which unrestrained, would
destroy society. The average man un-
derstands the necessity for taxes and
makes no complaint, if the burden is
distributed equitably over the wealth
of the country, and provided also,
that he is sure that he is getting
dollars worth of service or every dol
lar he contributes.
Republican Plan.
1t has been the policy OF the re-
publicans to relieve the taxpayers of
the United States of considerable
portion OF the direct burden by col
lecting tax at the custom houses. BY
this method under the protective tariff
system. the foreigner was charged
with license fee for the privilege OF
selling his goods in our great market,
and to a considerable extent, these
license fees helped in the support Of
the government This was proper
and wise policy, one acquisced in by
the people of the country and prac-
ticed by nearly every great nation on
earth.
There is no evidence that our peo-
pie desire a change in the methods OF
imposing taxation for support OF the
government, when the democrats
came into power in 1918, there was a
surplus of 10000, which under wise
financial management was increasing.
The War Ttax Law.
In spite OF this fact Mr.. Wilson
and his colleagues set to work to
revolutionize our whole fiscal sys-
TEN by the adoption fthe emergency
or war tax law. We all began lick
ing stamps. Was this due to the
war? Not at all The first demo-
matric congress increased the appro-
priations by about $lS0,000000 over
the appropriations of the last repub-
lican congress which they denounced
grossly extravagant. At the same
time the revenue at the customs
houses was steadily failing. Had the
republican tariff been maintained and
had the democrats refrained from ex-
ceeding the appropriations OF the last
republican congress, there would have
been no need of,-that famous war
tax"
High Mark Exceeded.
The last democratic congress ex-
ceeded the highest mark OF appropria-
tons by the great sum of $l50,000,-
600, not counting the increase due to
the preparedness program. What do
they care about appropriations? What
cd they care about spending money
taken directly from the pockets Of
the people Why should they care,
they have arranged it so that they con-
tribute as little as possible. The north

PUZZLED
Hard, Sometimes, to Raise Children.

Children's taste is ofttimes more
accurate, in selecting the right kind of
food to fit the body, than that of adults.
Nature works more accurately through
the children.
A Brooklyn lady says: "Our little boy
had long been troubled with weak
digestion. We could never persuade
him to take more than one taste Of
any kind of cereal food. He was a
weak little chap and we were puzzled
to know what to feed him on.
Zone lucky day we tried Grape-Nuts.
Well, you never saw a child eat with
such a relish, and it did me good to
see him. From that day on it seemed
as though we could almost see him
grow. He would eat Grape-Nuts for
breakfast and supper, and I think he
would have liked the food for dinner.
"The difference in his appearance
is something wonderful.
my husband had never fancied
cereal foods of any kind, but he be-
came very fond of Grape-Nuts and has
been much improved in health since
using it.
1--WE are now healthy family and
naturally believe in Grape-Nuts.
"a friend has two children who were
formerly afflicted with ricketts,. I was
satisfied that the disease was caused
by lack of proper nourishment. The
children showed it. So I urged her
to use Grape-Nuts as an experiment
and the result was almost magical.
"They continued the food and to.
day both children are as we'll and
strong as any children in this city:
and, of course, my friend is firm be-
lever in Grape-Nuts, for she has the
evidence before her eyes every day."
