0verplaying Its Hand.

There is apparently good cause for
Democratic dissatisfaction with the
manner in which the press agents of
their hand in several particulars. In
an effort to turn to good account cir
cumstances which offered opportunity
for political advantage, they have
been so extreme in their effort as to
injure rather than help their own
cause.
The first illustration of this was
seen in the repeated effort last year
to picture President Wilson to the
country as man bowed with grief
and "burdened with the cares" of the
government. Democratic speakers in
all parts of the country took the tip
from the White House publicity agent
and during the last summer told oflthe
lonely man at the National Capital
and of his continuous labors for the
good of the country This would have
worked spendidly had it not been ear
ried to extremes and continued too
long But when the truth was fin
ally disclosed the reaction was injur
ious rather than helpful to President
Wilson.
Another instance of over-playing a
good hand is seen in the publicity
matter relative to foreign relations.
We have had score of grave crises"
with Mexico and European countries,
each affording an opportunity to pic
hn Z ms, I'M
could save us from war. After the pub
lie mind had been thoroughly aroused
as to the gravity of the situation, We
had the announcement that the admin
istration had won a diplomatic vic
tory" In each instance, however, the
situation continued to remain as it
was before we had the "crisis" and
the victory" Huerta did not sa-
lutte the flag; Germany and Austria
continued to sink neutral ships bear
ing American citizens
The report to picture President Will
son as the one man upon whom sue
cess depended was illustraed again
when the announcement was made of
the presidents position upon the ques-
ton of equal suffrage. The people
! were held in suspense as to the pres
ident's attitude and thus he was kept
in the spotlight for the attention of
all those who were deeply interested
in the equal suffrage question. The
announcement of his attitude was
finally given to the public in a manner
and tone that indicated the impress
sion that when President Wilson made
known his views, the result of the
elections would be determined. Here
again the administration suffered by
an over-playing of the hand, for the
count of votes in New Jersey and in
other states demonstrated that Pres

approximately $36 1000 worth of Red

State of Wisconsin in the 1915 cam

viOus records. This record of an in
creasing sale each year save one since
the organization of the Wisconsin
AntiTuberculosis Association, which
has been entirely financed from the
very beginning by the sale of the little
Christmas stickers, is remarkable
evidence of the gradual and perma-

sense of it's personal interest and re-
spOnsibility

Washington, d. c., Feb. Especial
Correspondent.-"A more partisan
tariff commission than that proposed
by the bill introduced for the Wilson
administration could scarcely be de-
yised."
This statement was made by Repre-
sentative George w Fairchild OF New
York, a member of the Ways and
Means committee, after a careful an
aIysis of the provisions OF the admins
tration tariff Commission bill.
"The establishment OF tariff COM
mission the powers of which even
suggest partisan report is neither
necessary, valuable or desirable
said Mr.. Fairchild "The Democratic
tariff commission bill not only sug-
gests but invites and insures partisan
action.
1.-THE bill contains two provisions
stamping it as a partisan measure.
First, section provides, among
other things, that the commission,
five in number, shall investigate the
administration and fiscal effects of
customs laws now in force or to be
hereafter enacted, the effects of ad
valorem and specific duties, and the
operation and effects of the customs
tariff laws, including their ic'ations TO
the federal revenues"
"a report on the effect of a tariff
can only be an expression of opinion
of the men making the report. Since
the bill specifically permits the ap-
pointment of a majority of the same
political faith on the commission, such
majority would unquestionably render
an opinion in conformity with the
tariff policy of the political party
from which they were chosen thus
completely destroying the non parti-
san character of the commission.
Second, the partisan character of
the administration bill is further en-
phasized by provision that the Com
mission shall report, not to Congress
itself, but to the two tariff-making
committees of Congress, the Ways and
Means Committee of the House and
the Finance Committee of the Senate.
Each of these committees is alb
solutely partisan, appointed for the
purpose of reporting tariff measures
that reflect the tariff policy of the
party in power. Republican mem
bers of the Committee were not per-
mitted to share with the Democratic
members III drafting the Underwood
bill, and this is the custom usually
followed.
at must be perfectly clear, there
fore, that with a partisan committee,
bound by party platforms to legislate
in conformity with the tariff policy
of such party, nothing but the most
extremely partisan tariff bill could be
the result.
From every point of view the Will
son tariff commission bill is a step
backward instead of forward, and
should be opposed by everyone who
favors the appointment of scien-
tific, non-partisan tariff commission.

open minded, with very little of the

ident Wilson's announcement was in
furious rather than beneficial.
The preparedness fiasco is another
illustration of poor publicity work.
AS everybody knows, President Will
son was a belated convert to the pre-
parednesa policy. Long before the
official announcement of his CONVEX
sion, there were intimations of his
change of heart and an effort was
made to convey the impression to the
country that if any real preparedness
were to be achieved 1t would come
through plan to be outlined by the
president. Again the public mind was
wrought up to high pitch OF interest
and the public anxiously awaited the
announcement of his program.
Disappointment and criticism came
from all parts of the country when
the program was finally announced.
The plan was as unsatisfactory to the
advocates of preparedness as to the
opponents. 1t was declared to be i'm
practicable on the one hand, and un-
necessary on the other. If the press
agents of the White House had ex-
pended their energies in framing
satisfactory policy rather than at
tempting to picture President Wilson
as the only real authority on the sub
ject, some good might have been ac-
complished, but in placing publicity
ahead of preparedness they did the
administration more harm than good
Naturally, Democrats who are anx-
ious to see the party continued in
power are considerably disguised
with the management of publicity at
the White House.

If everything was sold in as liberal and
fair manner as the below named drug
eists are selling ScIliffnaann's New Con-
centrated Expectorant, absolutely no
cause for complaint or dissatisfaction
could possibly arise from anyone These
druggists say-"Buy a bottle of this rem
edy and try it for Bronchitis, Whoopine
Cough, Severe Cough, Group or any
Bronchial Affection, and we will return
your money, just the same as we do with
Schiffmann's famous Asthmadcr, if it
does not give satisfaction, or if not found
the best remedy ever used for any of
these complaints" Why not take adj
vantage of this guarantee and try this
medicine, and get your money back, rath-
er than buying another purely on the
exaggerated claims of its manufacturer
or on the strength of testimonials from
others and run the chance of getting
something worthless and also wasting
your money?

Ways Of the Opossun.

The opossum is night prowler,
usually preferring moonshine for it's
forays. When ready to bear young
the opossum makes a nest of dried
grass in the hollow Of tree and pro-
duces twelve or thirteen blind, naked
little ones, about half an ir.ch long.
These she places with her fore feet,
and here each little one clings to a
teat. Here they remain until about
two months old. When caught the
opossum feigns death, meanwhile
watching an opportunity to escape
From this comes the Americanism
playing 'possum"

Facts Regarding Increased Earnings.

Gradually the real facts are leaking
out regarding the increase in railroad
earnings and the congestion of freight
on the Atlantic seaboard Increased
railroad earnings have been pointed
to as an evidence of permanent gen
eral prosperity. Here are some of
the facts that account for the in
crease:
Demand for vessels to carry war
supplies to Europe has caused large
portion of the ships formerly engaged
in coastwise trade to be withdrawn,
so that much freight that would nor
mally go by water now goes by rail
Slides in the Panama Canal made
it necessary to ship cOast-tO-coast
freight overland High water rates
due to the demand for transportation
to Europe made shipment around the
Horn impracticable.
The abnormally large grain crops
produced because of the prospect Of
war prices, gave the railroads large
ly increased traffic from the Middle
West to Atlantic ports
p Increased freight rates have been
allowed by the Interstate Commerce
Commission in certain territory.
1t will be observed that all these
factors, except the slight increase in
freight rates, depend upon the con-
tinuance OF the war and the oversee
demand for our products. 1t is diff
cult to understand how any far
sighted business man can interpret
increased railroad earnings as a sign
of prosperity any more permanent
than the temporary and abnormal con-
ditions in which they have their orr

"Nothing in Free Trade.c

President Wilson says there is moth
ing in either the doctrine of free trade
or that of protection We are willing
he should speak for the doctrine of
free trade but there are others vastly
more competent to speak for the doc
trine of protection. We shall entirely
agree that there is nothing in free
trade. We have proven it by sad ex-
perience. But as for protection
there is much in it. There is in it,
for instance, a full dinner pail for
the laborer, busy factories for indus
trial investors, plenty Of business for
retail merchants, widespread pros
perity in the United States, a full Fed
eral Treasury and no need for stamp
taxes. Nothing in it? We should
