Raise Revenue by Tariff.

The Democratic senators and the
members OF the house have before
them the question of providing reve-
nues for the needs of the government,
and they are one and all men familiar
with the sentiments of the people in
their respective states and districts.
Do they find that their constituents
are in favor Of taxes upon gasoline,
upon automobiles. upon internal COM
bustion engines?
Do they find their people are in IA
vor of paying a government tax every
time they send telegram, phone
message to a neighboring town. tax
upon every receipt they get from an
express or a railway company?
Do they find their people favor
taxes on the baby's soothing strip.
taxes upon every medicine the sick
may need, taxes. Democratic taxes. in
every line of business. in every branch
of trade?
The Democratic voters favor a tariff
for revenue.
Why do not the senators and men,
bers of the house give their constitu-
ents what they want and what many
OF them have voted for for 40 years7
The way is straight; it is not
crooked; it is no blind alley. It leads
to popular approval.
Raise the required revenues through
the tariff.

on-castor oil. calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling TO the old form of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-

injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing. give only deli

action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit

love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet

given today saves sick child tomor-
row.

of all ages and for grown-ups plainly

stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.

LINCOLN AS ARTIST
Must Be Accorded That DiStinC-
ton in Addition to That
of Statesman.

w TE know that both in youth
M and in age. Lincoln was a
v v great reader of Shake
speare Probably that wide
and ardent spirit, dreaming at large
upon the full possibilities of life.
dreamed at times of doing something
of the work that Shakespeare did. of
rejecting the manifold humanity of
America In imperishable verse. If so
the dreams we're lightly discarded. and
Lincoln as a writer contented himself
with putting the weighty needs o.
every day into language of firm tex
ture, and when he willed, of high i'm
mortal eloquence.
But Lincoln had a kinship with
Shakespeare, the supreme artist. in far
deeper ways than In the mere mastery
of words. He saw life OH the high
plane Of eternity, as Shakespeare saw
1t and as every true artist sees it.
From this poeticaI temperament
came Lincoln's melancholy. He &C
cepted the hard facts Of life as calmly
as any man. and fought meanness and
greed and sly cunning and open base
ness, as if victory over them were
all he cared for. Yet at the same
time, with the poets sense of things
beyond. he saw not only the pettiness
OF defeat, but the pettiness of present
victory compared with the years be-
fore and the years after, and the vast

Who has known this melancholy and
expressed 1t better than Shakespeare?
From his poetical temperament,

ly akin to Shakespeares 1t is world
removed from the nosy clatter Of
trivial laughter. Lincoln was no
Laughter, and we are sure that Shake
apeare was not. Just as the sense of
the cropping mystery of things breeds
sadness in its pathetic aspect, so the
contrast between the huge eagerness
of men and their pltiful accomplish
ment breeds a smile. not of mockery
or scorn. but of the tenderest pity and
kindliness
Finally, Shakespeare's supreme
greatness as an artist was in his com
prehension-by loving sympathy-of
the hearts of men. of all men. Was
not that Lincolns greatness, too?
Shakespeare used his gift to create
men and women who can never die
Lincoln used his to play like a great
master on instruments so different as
Seward and Chase and stanton, as Nc.
Clellan and Hooker and Sherman and
Grant, and by his genius reunited a
nation that as long as it lives, will
remember him.
The chief fruitfulress of this point
Of view Is that it brings out clearly
the distinction between Lincoln and
even the greatest of his contempor.
aries. say Seward and Grant In the
North. and Lee and Davis in the South.
They were all practical men, men abb

they were engaged. They did not look

A GLASS OF SALTS WILL
END KIDNEY-BACKACHE
Says Drugs Excite Kidneys and Rec
ommends Only Salts, Particularly
If Bladder Bothers You.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with a mild, harmless salts which re.
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast each morning
for few days and your kidneys will
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid Of grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to clean and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking.
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of your kidney trouble and
backache.-Adv.

TARIFF IS NOT ALL
More Than One Issue in the Com
ing Campaign.
Republicans Will Err in Placing I'm
due Stress on the Necessity for Re-
turning to Policy of Protection
Other Things Important.

The president is of opinion that the
tariff is the only issue the Republicans
have, and he is expecting them TO
specialize on it in their effort to pre-
vent his reelection. He is probably
wrong, but the Republicans would do
well to consider his views, remarks
the Washington Post.
The Democrats began to specialize
on the tariff thirty years ago. II be-
came practically their only issue. Mr..
Cleveland selected it as the basis of
his appeal for reelection. His mes
sage to congress in December, 1887,
dealt exclusively with the tariff but
he stated his case then in such ex-
IRENE terms he tried six months later
to hedge. He paid the penalty of
such maneuver.
Four years later the Democrats,
again under his leadership, made the
tariff their leading, and practically
only, issue, and won at the polls. But
their success, achieved on a platform
greatly exaggerating what might be
expected from the revision they prom
ised, turned to ashes in office. The
legislation they enacted failed in OPP
GRAFTON. and the failure contributed
largely to their defeat at the next pres
idential election.
Again giving the tariff overshadow-
ing Importance. they made their fight
on 1t in 1912, and in that campaign
advanced the shrieking absurdity that
the high cost of living was due to the
policy of protection. The result stares
them in the face, and confuses them
beyond their ability to explain. The
cost of living has steadily mounted
under their corrective legislation, and
is now higher than ever before.
The lesson seems plain. Where
party addresses itself to but one is
sue, and makes appeal after appeal
on that. it magnifies It out of reason.
1t promises wonders that cannot be
performed; and when the inevitable
exposure comes it is overwhelming.
Much has always been promised in
the name of protection, and much ac-
complished. 1t is still valuable cam
paign cry, and we shall hear it often
in the coming campaign. But the Re-
publicans will err greatly at Chicago
If they lay sole, or even undue. stress
on the tariff. Protection has done
great deal for the country. and IL
given another trial will do a great
deal more; but, alone, it could not
remedy the evils charged against the
administration. If a change is or
dered in November. the Republicans,
IN control again, will confront a sit
uation far beyond the power of any
legislation. however well constructed,
on any one subject to remedy.

Tariff Must BE RemodeIed.

This W. ld-wide war has saved the
Democratic party from humiliation.
but its policies must be changed be-
fore peace is restored II we would
preserve the American market for the
American product and be in position
at the same time to extend our COM
mercial relations with the outside
world. The existing tariff law must
be quickly rem eled. Mr.. Wilson
holds no human man can foretell what
tariff legislation may be needed twelve
months hence. Conditions may change.
but the principle of protection, never.
Every page Of American history for
more than a hundred years sustains
this view.
Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1916-02-09
Scientific Adjustment Needed.

Mr.. Wilson seems to think the pres
emit tariff framed by the old-fashioned
log-rolling methods before the Euro
pean war will meet the conditions
which the war will leave. That hope
hardly seems likely to be fulfilled.
What common caution dictates is COM
mercial preparedness as far as we
can provide il, and the basis of such
preparedness can be supplied only by
a strong expert body which will set to
work at once to accumulate data, ex-
anime our own conditions. and study
the Washington Times.

Valentine Choosing, which is actually
an adaptation of the blind lottery of
the Roman Lupercalia, is now unused.
Mission the Traveller gives this seven
teenth century account of the ritual:
IAN equal number of maids and
bachelors indite their names upon sep
arate billets, which they roll up, and
draw by way of lots, the maids TAX
ing the mems billets and the men the
maids; so that each Of the young men
lights upon a girl that he calls his
valentine, and each of the girls upon a
young man whom she calls hers. BY
this means each has two valentines;
but the man sticks faster to the val
entine to whom he had fallen. For
tune having thus divided the company
into so many couples, the valentines
give balls and treats to their mis-
tresses, wear their billets several days
upon their bosoms or sleeves and this
little sport often ends in love-"
