in all his life and wouldn't endorse
when dead, if he could speak.
It is true that Hill took a great part
in the development of a part of the
country. It is also true that mems
deeds live after their careers close.
The prosperity and progress Of the
great northwest in which Hill was
the dominant figure are his real trib-
ute, lasting tribute at that. For
millions Of workers to stand idle as
a tribute to a man who was all en-
ergy and enterprise was senseless
and as appropriate as getting drunk
for five minutes or starting a gen.
eral fist fight as a tribute. 1t was
like selecting Christmas day for
prizefights, executions and opening

yet the statistics of tbs department of
commerce show that il the first year
OF the war there was falling off in
the value of our imports of only u
per cent or $22O,O00.OO0 Plainly this
decrease does not explain difficulty
with the revenue" that leaves the
country s240.000,OO0 short of what the
lawmakers had figured on.

that means that the operation of the

that this will be the big issue.
