is THE TARIFF ISSUE ABSURD?

When you hear talk that the tariff
is an absurd issue, it is good idea
to get dow to the facts in the matter.
For the benefit of those who be-
lieye such rot we give few questions
propounded to Henry Watterson, of
the Louisville Courier Journal, by the
American Economist:
Are American wages and employment
absurd?
Was the Unemployment of three million
American wage earners following the en-
actment Of the Underwood Free Trade Tar
iff absurd?
Was the biggest crop of commercial
failures the country has ever known alb
surd?
Was the idleness of $4,000 freight cars
and an equivalent number of locomotives,
engineers, fireman, brakeman, freight
handlers, truckmen, ETC., absurd?
Is the fact that at the present moment
90 per cent. of American railroad mileage
is IN the hands of receivers, absurd?
Are failing revenues and growing Treas
ury deficits. absurd?
Were the longest bread lines, lhe great
est army of jobless men and women and
the largest demand for charitable relief
ever known in this country, in tho winter
of l0l3'-l4, absurd?
Ali these things have made powerful
impression upon the minds of the Ameri-
can people. That impression has not been
removed by the purely adventurous and
ephemeral restoration of industry, employ
ment and wage paying which in few lines
was brought on by the great war in Europe
Ian improved order Of things that will
promptly disappear when the war ends.
The men who lost their jobs in the first
ten month of the Underwood tariff know
why they lost them. The thousands OF
merchants whose business was wrecked
because of thinner and fewer pay envelopes
know that their ruin was the direct pro-
duct of the very worst Tariff law ever en-
acted by an American Congress and signed
by an American president.

DUCKTOWN, TENN, January 81, 1915.
UNCOMFORTABLE


Out of the night that covers me,
Black as The pit from pole to pole,
| thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
have not WINGED or cried aloud,
Under the bludgeoning Of chance
My head is bloody but unbowed.
Beyond the place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unalraid.
1t matters not how straight the gate,
How charged with punishment the scroll,
| am the master of my fate,
| am the captain of my soul.

featuring Mae Marsh and Fully Mar shall, who played here last season in the all-star cast of Fine Feathers. MT. Marshall made a lot of friends in town while he was here, and everyone will be glad to see him again, even if it is on the screen.
 Mae Marsh, who is co-starred with Fully Marshall in A Child of the Paris Streets, was born in Madrid, N. M., Nov. 9, 1895. Her people took her to live in San Francisco the year before the quake, and in that horror all their belongings were destroyed and little Mae had a narrow escape. She was eager to follow her sister into screen work, and eventually was given a chance. She made good beyond ex- pectattons, and her rise was rapid. Her first leading part was Mary in Sands O Dee. a Griffith production.
 The vaudeville on this bill is right up to the standard and is headed by Fremont Benton and company, who present delightful comedy sketch, Handkerchief No. 15. This is one of the finest attractions playing vaude- vile and is sure to be big hit with the Davis patrons. Another good act Is the Faxin Sisters, two clever girls who have a character change act in- troducing several limitations and im- presentations of popular favorites The other act is F. Dalmer, a comedian who tells stories and draws cartoons all the time he is making fun. This is a show everyone should see.

OFFERS MILLION AND
 HALF FOR STEAMERS
U. s. Steamship Company Wants to Buy Manhattan and Narragansett.

Announcement of the purchase by the United States Steamship Co, in which Charles w. Morse and other prominent hnancters are interested, of the old Long Island Sound steamer Rhode Island, which was made public Saturday, was followed this week by. by the even more interesting news that the same company had made an offer to the Grand Trunk railroad for the purchase of the steamers Manhat- tan and Narragansett which have been tied up at the Central Vermont wharf in New London for several months. The offer is stated to be $750, 900 each, the building cost. The steamers have never been in commission.
 The purchase of the Rhode Island was made through negotiations car ried on by Capt. c. s. Juell. She was owned by the q. A. Scott Co. and has been out of commission for several weeks. She has now been taken to the Riverside yard, where she will be converted into a Six-maSted schooner at a cost of 5000 and will be used in carrying lumber under charter of the British government. It is expected she will sail in about two months.
 Captain Juen was in command of with her sister ship Harvard to the Pacific coast in 1912. These two big passenger boats will come into pos session of the United States Steam ship Go. in September, when their present charter expires and it is stated will again run on the outside line be- tween New York and Boston, after un- dergoing repairs.
 The Morse syndicate which recent ly purchased the Palmer shipyard at Noank already has a number of ves- sels being built in that village and others have arrived for repairs. Among the latter are five big steamers pur- chased from the Mutual Transit Co.,, of Buffalo, the William Castle Rhodes, Huron, St. Paul. Binghampton and Minneapolis.
 Charles w. Morse left for London last Saturday for the express purpose, it is rumored, of closing deal for the purchase of AS German vessels in- termed at New York. The deal Is said to be favored by England and France, if a satisfactory arrangement can be made with Germany for the final dis position of the money which will not probably be paid until the close of the war.
 The steamers Manhattan and Mar ragansett were built by the Grand Trunk for prospective use between Providence and Boston but the failure of the railroad line from Palmer to Providence to materialize caused the abandonment of this project.
