DID THEY DO IT?

When the present Democratic Ad-
ministration went into power, it went
in on a platform which promised the
people reduction in the high cost of
living" Here is the exact language
Of the plank in the PLATFORM
The high cost of living is Il
serious problem in every American
home. The Republican Party, in its
platform. attempts to escape from
responsibility for present conditions
by denying that they are due to "a
protective tariff. We lake issue
with them on this subject, and
charge that excessive prices result
in a large measure from the high
tariff laws enacted and maintained
by the Republican Party and from
tariff laws enacted and maintained
by the Republican Party and from
trusts and commercial conspiracies
fostered and encouraged by such
laws, and We assert that no substan-
tial relief can be secured for the
people without import duties on the
necessaries of life are materially
reduced and these criminal CON
spiracies broken up"
In other words our Democratic
friends charged the high prices to the
Republican tariff laws and asserted
that the only relief was to be found
in a material reduction of that tariff
Going into power in 1913, they pro-
ceeded TO reduce the tariff, but has
anybody seen any evidence of relief
in the high cost of living? Have the
prices on ''the necessities of life" been
reduced under the Democratic tariff ?
1t is almost unkind to ask the ques-
tion-to put this Democratic promise
alongside of ones meat bills and gro
Gerry bills and bread bills and all the
rest. We would not do it, were it not
for. the fact that our Democratic
friends are always harping on this
economic fallacy, and once in awhile
fool the people into following them.
They did in 1912. to certain extent,
and it is therefore in order to remind
the folks. who believed thai Demo-
cratic promise. that under Democratic
free trade prices have risen to the
highest point in American history.
The voters will hardly be fooled
again by this old cry.

MR.. LEWIS IN WRONG PARTY,

Mr.. Lewis is in the wrong party.
There is a Socialist party in this coun-
try, standing squarely and fairly on a
socialist platform-denying the right
of private property, denying the In
dividuaism which has been the
strength Of our Americanism, denying
the restricted function and sphere Of
government, and widening it to the
very bounds of life-a Socialist party
with a perfectly definite creed and a
quite considerable following.

In New York State, during 1872
years, only 1872 labor laws were pass
ed. One-t third of these were signed
during Hughes tw oterms as Cover

With these records known it will be
easy for organized labor to select its
candidate in the November election.

World Is Full Of Sunshine

The world is full of sunshine
When the hearts inclined that way;
There's never any shadow
If you whistle through the day;
The master of the sunshine uses some to paint hills
But always leaves little as poutice for our ills.
The way is full of brightness
If the soul is bright in turn
With the hope that leads the promise
To the lessons it must learn;
The master of the sunshine to make the rose,
But always leaves plenty plaster for
The careless flowers happy,
And we should be happy, too, 3.
If we help to scatter sunshine 49,
As we know ought to do
The matter of the sunshine to deck the day.
But always leaves plenty to keep worryment away

Aborialnal Life.

The dog was the only domestic ami
NAL known to the Indians. except in
Peru, where the llama and alpaca had
been tanned before the coming Of the
whites. Hand in hand with this lack
OF the OK went a method of agriculture
that depended on the use of the hoe
instead of the Asiatic and European
plow. The absence Of the horse. co.,
pied with that Of wheeled convey
ances, presented serious obstacles TO
the extensive transportation of people
and property. Thirdly. the cultivated
plants OF economic importance diff

HAPPIEST MAN is HONEST ONE
He Has No Bad Habits TO Retard His
Progress, and So He is Always
Prosperous.

We have noticed the happiest man
many time. He works for his living
and he gets a good one. One thing we
notice is he is a man of fine habits;
doesn't squander a cent on foolishness.
He saves his money and is getting
ready to buy some property. He loves
his home, plays with the children,
reads good books and keeps company
with his wife. Because Of his good
habits he saves a little which viii
give him a chance to make an invest
ment
And then there is another thing he
is a reliable man. He does good work.
He will not smooth over bad work. He
is honest in whatever he does Every
dollar he gets represents just that
much Of honest labor It is this large
ly, that makes him prosperous and
happy Water keeps its own level
and so does conduct and character
and prosperity. II q man is mean and
low. so viii the consequences be. lie
cannot be one thing and his expert
euce another. A low-lived man may
grow rich and happy. but il will not be
for long Anybody can tell what's the
matter with q man If he is with him a
day; he will soon see if the other is
spleen, a stomach, an uplift or a hope.

piece of the substance is rubbed. but
that is all Il is the same property
which the fur of a cat possesses when
you rub It the wrong way on cold

day, develops the same amount of cleo

it has been OF no use 20 the world
says a writer in an exchange.
The old Greeks believed it came
from the tears Of the sisters of Phae-
ton, who wept into the sea. and their
tears were petriied into amber. How
ever. modern science declares it is the
fossilized gum OF trees of past epochs.
The most important beds are on the
Prussian coast of the Baltic sea.
There are mines near the coast, and
the amber often is picked up on the
coast, especially after heavy storms,
It is also collected from masses of sea

The LIveryman,s Concern.

Hiram. noted for his thick-headed
ness, lived in small town in New
York state. and spent much of his
time hanging around the local livery
stable. One day he was passing
through the stalls, when the propri
etor raised a protesting voice.
Look here, Hiram" said he, how
many times have told you not to ap-
proach those horses from the rear
without speaking to them? One of
these days they will be kicking you
in the head"
That's all right" was the brave
rejoinder of Hiram. 81 am not afraid
of It,"
IT'S not all right" sharply rejoined
the liveryman. Il don't want to have
lot of lame horses on my hands. -
